The commerce revolution has dramatically redefined the
way we shop. I say “we” because the commerce revolution
surrounds everyone. Not too long ago, stores made the rules.
For example, if a shopper wanted a particular product and the
store did not have the correct size or color, the store offered
limited options: purchase a different product, take a chance by
coming back later, try a different store, or walk away empty-
handed. At that time, we did not know anything different than
to follow the store’s rules. Today, we set the rules. We can buy
online and pick up in-store, buy online and ship to a pick-up
locker, buy in-store and ship from manufacturer to my home.

Supply Chain Technology Replacement Cycle
Our traditional Supply Chain Solutions are benefitting
from the market’s need to modernize legacy systems
and accelerate innovation ahead of the competition. The
digital commerce revolution has instigated a technology

2014 is our first mobile application for the warehouse: Labor

Building on
Our Heritage
Supply chain technology investment remains
consistently strong across industries, as the desire
to expand operations is matched with the need to
improve profitability. The two areas of supply chain
growth that have been most remarkable are in
warehousing and transportation.
In warehousing, the ability of managers to better
engage employees and quickly react to operational
issues has been hampered by the lack of robust mobile
applications. As a result, distribution managers spend
an inordinate amount of time at their desks, either
reviewing data or making operational decisions via
the Warehouse Management system (WMS). A recent
survey we conducted among supply chain leaders
found that 81% had plans to pilot or implement mobile
capabilities within the next two years.
In transportation, the need to improve visibility of
shipments, secure freight capacity and model new
network policies is exposing shippers to the necessity
for investments in transportation management
systems (TMS). Further, in industries such as food
manufacturing where transportation was managed
largely on homegrown systems or with spreadsheets,
modernization initiatives are becoming more frequent
because of the need to lower operating costs.
Our Supply Chain suite of solutions, comprised of
our Distribution Management and Transportation
Management products, continues to be well
positioned to address both of these trends. With
the release of our Distribution Management Mobile
application, warehouse managers have the ability to
view and act on key data anywhere on the distribution
center floor. Our Transportation Management
application addresses the needs of a wide variety of
shippers with capabilities such as Proof of Delivery for
better in-transit visibility, industry-leading optimization
algorithms to consolidate freight requirements, and
a highly differentiated modeling capability that uses
operational data to recommend network policy
improvements.

the vendors that supply
them with solutions are
also rapidly evolving to
meet the new needs of
digital customers, and the
inevitable victim of this
disruption will be legacy
point of sale solutions.”
—Adam Silverman,
Forrester, 2014
“I can’t imagine a
better combination
of technologies and
applications than the
marriage of those driving
the store floor to those
managing the supply
chain…Manhattan is
a better fit, because
it’s more focused on
the business side of
retailing—not just the
transaction, but the
before-and-after of the
transaction—and driving
transactions and inventory
turn is what clienteling
and mobile POS are
all about.”

Item 1.
Business
Overview
PART I
Manhattan Associates was founded in 1990 in Manhattan Beach, California and incorporated in Georgia in 1998. References in this
filing to the “Company,” “Manhattan,” “Manhattan Associates,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Manhattan Associates, Inc., our
predecessors, and our wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries. Our principal executive offices are located at 2300 Windy Ridge
Parkway, Tenth Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, and our telephone number is 770-955-7070.
We develop, sell, deploy, service and maintain software solutions designed to manage supply chains, inventory and omni-channel
operations for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other organizations. Our customers include many of the
world’s premier and most profitable brands.
Specifically, Manhattan Associates solutions help our customers in three distinct areas, as depicted by our solution footprint:
• Supply Chain - Manhattan solutions provide companies across industries the tools needed to manage distribution and
optimize transportation costs throughout the entire network. Manhattan provides shippers the most comprehensive
transportation management solutions in the market. This includes moving freight via the most cost-effective means
possible while also meeting service level expectations. Likewise, Manhattan’s Warehouse Management solutions are
widely regarded as industry leading systems designed to optimize productivity and throughput in distribution centers and
warehouses around the world.
• Omni-Channel - Meeting ever-evolving consumer expectations of service, inventory availability and delivery convenience
is a challenge every retailer must meet head on. Manhattan’s Omni-Channel solutions provide both ‘central’ or corporate
solutions that manage inventory availability across all channels and locations as well as ‘local’ solutions deployed in retail
stores to empower store associates to satisfy the demands of the walk-in shopper and the online customer.
•
Inventory - Manhattan solutions provide distributors of any finished goods (apparel, food, auto parts, pharmaceuticals,
etc.) the ability to forecast demand, determine when, where and how much inventory is needed and translate this into a
profitable inventory buying plan. Through the use of advanced science and sophisticated analytics, customer service level
is maximized with the minimum necessary inventory investment. Industry changes driven by omni-channel retail,
pharmaceutical regulations and other trends make this an area of particular need for many retailers and wholesale
distributors.
4
Manhattan Associates’ Software Solution Portfolios
Our portfolio of solutions takes a platform-based approach to the following key areas. This approach implies a single, holistic
technology architecture that provides customers with three major benefits:
• Cross-Functional Business Solutions - By virtue of shared data, taxonomy and interfaces, a platform solution enables the
organization to tackle business challenges that might otherwise be too technically daunting to achieve. For instance, the
ability to apportion freight, labor, inventory handling and overhead costs across the supply chain to determine an item’s
total cost to serve (TCO) for an end customer normally requires a massive integration and harmonization effort. With a
platform like Manhattan’s, this is simply another module that taps into a readily available pool of data in the supply chain
and inventory solutions.
• Total Cost of Ownership - For IT executives, a platform enables TCO through consistency. A single set of tools to
administrate security, resource management, system configuration and integration across all three functional disciplines
allows for economies of scale within IT departments. The use of standard technologies, development tools and languages
also ensures needed technical skills are readily available in the marketplace.
• The Power of Shared Components - When an organization has multiple disparate systems, there are frequently redundant
capabilities found across the enterprise. Examples include yard management, parcel shipping and inventory visibility.
The consequences of duplicate systems range from the simple confusion brought on by different naming conventions to
the expensive and complex data becoming out of sync, resulting in missed appointments, chargebacks and similar.
Manhattan Associates’ Software Solution Modules
The specific modules available within the overall portfolio are depicted in the diagram below.
5
Supply Chain Solutions
As previously described, Supply Chain solutions are focused on the distribution and transportation operations of the enterprise.
There are four main components of Manhattan’s Supply Chain Solutions:
•
•
•
•
Distribution Management - These applications comprise Manhattan’s Warehouse Management Solutions (WMS) commonly
used to manage the complexity of the modern warehouse. They manage the flow of goods and information across the
distribution center. The complete distribution management suite not only includes capabilities focused on execution within the
distribution center, but also on the management of personnel, performance and the overall distribution center layout. All of
these solutions come together to provide the customer the most productive workforce with an operation that can scale to meet
the highest demands during peak season, yet can still operate effectively and profitably throughout the course of the year.
Transportation Management - Organizations today face a complex transportation environment with ever-changing demands
driven by macro-economic trends and governmental regulations. Manhattan’s Transportation Management Solutions (TMS)
are designed to help shippers navigate their way through these demands while meeting customer service expectations at the
lowest possible freight costs. Components include procurement and modeling tools to setup a network that can be successful,
along with planning, execution and settlement tools to manage day-to-day transportation requirements.
Supply Chain Convergence - Unique to Manhattan’s platform approach are a set of common components that for most
solutions are either in a WMS or a TMS. These include tools designed to manage the scheduling of appointments with carriers
and suppliers as well as oversee operations of the yard.
Visibility - Crucial to effective supply chain management is visibility into the movement of goods between locations in the
supply chain and outside the enterprise’s realm of control. Manhattan provides world-class visibility and event management
tools that not only provide alerts to when events occur in the supply chain, but also when they don’t occur (such as missing a
vessel overseas) that can have a cascading effect on production lines, freight and most importantly, customer commitments.
Omni-Channel Solutions
As omni-channel retail has placed new demands on organizations, it has also created new software solution needs. These
demands range from the ability to leverage inventory across the entire network to meet any demand, to providing store associates and
call center representatives the means to take advantage of that available inventory.
Omni-Channel Central Solutions - There is a wide range of new capabilities that must be leveraged at a corporate or
‘central’ level in retail today. The goal is to enable an omni-channel commerce platform that can be tapped into by any selling
system—webstore, ERP, point-of-sale, call center, mobile app, etc. Manhattan’s Enterprise Inventory builds out a complete
inventory availability picture that can be updated in near-real time with feeds from the warehouse, the store and the network.
Enterprise Order Management merges this inventory availability data with demand feeds from across the organization to match
supply with demand in a way that satisfies customer delivery expectations while also striving to maximize profitability.
Lastly, the Call Center application provides representatives access to this inventory picture as well as complete customer sales
history to satisfy shopper needs, regardless of whether it is an exchange, a return or a new order.
Omni-Channel Local Solutions - Just as the consumer enters the store with more information than ever, it is now vital to
equip the sales associate with all relevant information and capabilities to satisfy that shopper’s every demand. Local solutions
include mobile Point of Sale to process any purchase transactions, Clienteling to provide the associate with a complete picture
of the shopper’s purchase history, and Tablet Retailing to offer a virtual showroom. When all of these solutions come together
on a single mobile platform, retailers are able to offer unparalleled service and convenience for the shopper.
Also an important part of Local solutions are Store Inventory and Fulfillment. Most retailers are now looking to leverage store
inventory to fulfill ecommerce demand (driving greater sales revenue with less inventory). In order to achieve this, solutions
that can maintain inventory integrity and enable productive, reliable fulfillment are required.
Inventory Solutions
The ability to accurately forecast demand and project inventory needs is only heightened by omni-channel retail requirements that
change traditional approaches to inventory management. Manhattan’s Inventory solutions address both the questions of what products
should be carried and how much is needed at what locations and dates.
Inventory Optimization - This set of applications includes sophisticated demand forecasting capabilities that can address the
particularly challenging slow-moving and intermittent products that frequently result in excess inventory due to
unpredictability. Also included is the Replenishment module that can evaluate inventory needs across all locations and
channels. This module can even suggest transferring inventory between locations (warehouses or stores) or ‘protect’
merchandise at a store from online sales in order to save it for walk-in traffic.
6
Planning - Manhattan’s Planning solutions provide merchants the tools they need to create channel-, store- or region-specific
assortments. These tools offer channel-specific metrics and methodologies that optimize the planning process and maximum
retailer revenues.
Manhattan SCALETM
SCALE is our portfolio of logistics execution solutions built on Microsoft’s .NET® platform. Purpose built for rapid development
and a value based total cost of ownership, it is targeted toward companies with execution-focused supply chain needs that require
speed-to-value, resource-light system configuration and maintenance, and the ability to quickly scale their logistics operations up or
down in response to market fluctuations or business requirement changes. SCALE combines the features of Trading Partner
Management, Yard Management, Optimization, Warehouse Management and Transportation Execution.
Because SCALE leverages a common platform, solutions share common data elements and each user can access all applications
through a single sign-on. Users also can set up “dashboards” that enable easy access to real-time information most relevant to their
jobs. SCALE’s ease of deployment, operation and support make it a popular choice for organizations operating in countries with
emerging and developing economies, and where technical support resources are limited.
Technology Platform
Our solutions operate across Unix, IBM System i, Linux and Microsoft’s .NET computing platforms, as well as on multiple
hardware platforms and systems. Because supply chain solutions necessarily interact with other business operation systems, our
solutions are designed to interoperate with software from other providers as well as with a company’s existing legacy systems. This
interfacing and open system capability enables customers to continue using existing computer resources and to choose among a wide
variety of existing and emerging computer hardware and peripheral technologies. We provide an integration framework to facilitate
rapid and reliable integration to any Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or host business systems (including certified integration to
both SAP and Microsoft Dynamics AX). We also offer certain of our solutions in both on-premise software and cloud computing
models so that customers can select the option that best meets their requirements for control, flexibility, cost of ownership, and time-
to-deployment.
Professional Services
We advise and assist our customers in planning and implementing our solutions through our global Professional Services
Organization. To ensure long-term successful customer relationships, consultants assist customers with the initial deployment of our
systems, the conversion and transfer of the customer’s historical data onto our systems, and ongoing training, education, and system
upgrades. We believe our Professional Services teams enable customers to implement our solutions knowledgeably and in the
appropriate amount of time, help customers achieve expected results from system investments, continuously identify new
opportunities for supply chain advancements, and meaningfully add to our industry-specific knowledge base to improve future
implementations and product innovations.
Substantially all of our customers utilize some portion of our Professional Services to implement and support our software
solutions. Professional Services typically are rendered under time and materials contracts, with services billed by the hour.
7
Professional Services sometimes are rendered under fixed-fee contracts, with payments due on specific dates or milestones. We
believe that increased sales of our software solutions will drive higher demand for our Professional Services.
We believe our Professional Services team delivers deep supply chain domain expertise to our customers through industry-specific
“best-practices” protocols and processes developed through the collective knowledge we have gained from 25 years of implementing
our supply chain solutions worldwide. We also extensively train our consulting personnel on supply chain operations and on our
solutions.
Business consultants, systems analysts, and technical personnel assist customers in all phases of implementing our systems,
including planning and design, customer-specific module configuration, on-site implementation- or conversion from existing systems,
and integration with customer systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), web- and mobile-based commerce platforms, and
Material Handling Equipment (MHE) systems. At times, third-party consultants, such as those from major systems integrators, assist
our customers with certain implementations.
Customer Support Services and Software Enhancements
We offer a comprehensive program that provides our customers with software upgrades for additional or improved functionality
and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. Over the past three years, our annual
renewal rate of customers subscribing to comprehensive support and enhancements has been greater than 90%. We are able to
remotely access customer systems to perform diagnostics, provide on-line assistance, and facilitate software upgrades. We offer 24-
hour customer support every day of the year, plus software upgrades for an annual fee that is paid in advance and is based on the
solutions the customer has and the service level required. Software upgrades are provided under this program on a when-and-if-
available basis.
Training
We offer training in a structured environment for new and existing users. Training programs are provided at fixed fees per-person,
per-class, and cover topics such as (but not limited to) solution use, configuration, implementation, and system administration. Several
computer-based training programs can be purchased for a fixed fee for use at client sites.
Hardware Sales
Along with software licenses, and as a convenience for our customers, we resell a variety of hardware developed and manufactured
by others, including (but are not limited to) computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, RFID chip readers, bar code
printers and scanners, and other peripherals. We resell all third-party hardware products and related maintenance pursuant to
agreements with manufacturers or through distributor-authorized reseller agreements pursuant to which we are entitled to purchase
hardware products and services at discount prices and to receive technical support in connection with product installations and any
subsequent product malfunctions. We do not maintain hardware inventory as we generally purchase hardware from vendors only after
receiving related customer orders.
Strategy
Our objective is to extend our position as the leading global commerce solutions provider for organizations intent on creating and
sustaining market advantages through technology-enabled commerce solutions. Our solutions help global distributors, wholesalers,
retailers, logistics providers and manufacturers successfully manage accelerating and fluctuating market demands, as well as master
the increasing complexity and volatility of their local and global supply chains. We believe our solutions are advanced, highly
functional and highly scalable. They are designed to enable organizations to: create customer experiences consistent with their brand
values; improve relationships with suppliers, customers and logistics providers; leverage investments across supply chain functions;
effectively generate revenue and manage costs; and meet dynamically changing customer requirements. We believe our solutions are
uniquely positioned to holistically optimize the way companies bring together omni-channel, supply chain and inventory management:
Develop and Enhance Software Solutions. We intend to continue to focus our research and development resources on enhancing
our Supply Chain, Omni-Channel Commerce and Inventory Solutions. We offer what we believe to be the broadest and most richly-
featured software portfolio in the marketplace. To continuously expand functionality and value, we plan to continue to provide
enhancements to existing solutions and to introduce new solutions to address evolving industry standards and market needs. We
identify these opportunities through our Product Management, Professional Services, Customer Support and Account Management
organizations, through interactions such as ongoing customer consulting engagements and implementations, sessions with our solution
user groups, association with leading industry analyst and market research firms, and participation on industry standards and research
committees. Our solutions address needs in various vertical markets, including retail, consumer goods, food and grocery, logistics
service providers, industrial and wholesale, high technology and electronics, life sciences and government. We intend to continue to
enhance our solutions to meet the dynamic requirements of these and new vertical markets as business opportunities dictate.
8
Expand International Presence. We believe our solutions offer significant benefits to customers in markets outside the United
States, and for organizations with global operations. We have offices in Australia, China, France, India, Japan, the Netherlands,
Singapore, and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives in Mexico and reseller partnerships in Latin America, Eastern Europe,
the Middle East, South Africa, and Asia. Our Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) operations support sales, implementation
services, and customer support functions for customers in Europe as well as a number of customers across the Middle East,
concentrated in countries we consider politically and economically stable. Our Asia Pacific (APAC) operations service emerging
opportunities in China, Southeast Asia, and India, as well as more established markets in Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Our
international strategy includes leveraging the strength of our relationships with current U.S. and Europe-based customers that also
have significant international operations.
Strategic Alliances and Indirect Sales Channels. We currently sell our products primarily through our direct sales personnel, and
through partnership agreements with a select number of organizations in emerging markets where we do not currently have a direct
sales presence. We have worked on joint projects and joint sales initiatives with industry-leading consultants and software systems
implementers, including most of the large consulting firms and other systems consulting firms specializing in our targeted industries,
to supplement our direct sales force and professional services organization. We expand our indirect sales channels through reseller
agreements, marketing agreements, and agreements with third-party logistics providers. These alliances extend our market coverage
and provide us with new business leads and access to trained implementation personnel.
Acquire or Invest in Complementary Businesses. We continuously evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities of technologies,
solutions, and businesses that are consistent with our platform-based strategy and enable us to enhance and expand our offerings.
Preferred acquisition targets are those that would be complementary to our existing solutions and technologies, expand our geographic
presence and distribution channels, extend our presence into additional vertical markets with challenges and requirements similar to
those we currently serve, and further solidify our leadership position within the primary components of supply chain planning and
execution.
Sales and Marketing
We employ multi-disciplinary sales teams that consist of professionals with industry experience in sales and technical sales
support. To date, we have generated the majority of our software sales (licensing) revenue through our direct sales force. We plan to
continue to invest in our sales, services, and marketing organizations within the United States, EMEA, and APAC, and to pursue
strategic marketing partnerships. We conduct comprehensive global marketing programs that include prospect profiling and targeting,
lead generation, public relations, analyst relations, trade show attendance and sponsorships, supply chain conference hosting, online
marketing, joint promotion programs with vendors and consultants, and ongoing customer communication programs.
Our sales cycle typically begins with the generation of a sales lead — through in-house telemarketing efforts, targeted promotions,
web inquiries, trade show presence, speaking engagements, hosted seminars, or other means of referral — or the receipt of a request
for proposal from a prospective customer. Leads are qualified and opportunities are closed through a process that includes telephone-
based assessments of requirements; responses to requests for proposals, presentations and product demonstrations, site visits and/or
reference calls with organizations already using our supply chain solutions, and contract negotiations. Sales cycles vary substantially
from opportunity to opportunity, but typically require nine to twelve months.
In addition to new customer sales, we plan to continue to leverage our existing customer base to drive revenue from system
upgrades, sales of additional licenses of purchased solutions, and sales of new or add-on solutions. To efficiently penetrate emerging
global markets, we leverage indirect sales channels, including sales through reseller agreements, marketing agreements, and
agreements with third-party logistics providers. To extend our market coverage, generate new business leads, and provide access to
trained implementation personnel, we leverage strategic alliances with systems integrators skilled at implementing our solutions.
Business referrals and leads are positively influenced by systems integrators, which include most of the large consulting firms and
other systems consulting firms specializing in our targeted industries.
Our Manhattan Value Partner (Manhattan MVP™) and Manhattan GeoPartner™ programs foster joint sales and marketing with
other organizations. Manhattan Value Partners are proven software and hardware providers, trusted third-party integrators and
consultants who bring added value to customer engagements through vertical industry knowledge or technical specialization.
Manhattan MVPs support and complement our supply chain solutions so we can provide customers with a comprehensive approach
that is suited to their business requirements. This collaborative program is designed to benefit both Manhattan and our partners
through tailored joint marketing, sales and, in some cases, co-development efforts. Among others, Manhattan MVPs include IBM,
Deloitte, Kurt Salmon, Microsoft, and Motorola. Manhattan GeoPartners represent a select group of companies that sell and
implement our solutions in specific geographies around the world, each providing valuable localized expertise to meet customer needs
in areas such as Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region.

Customers
To date, our customers have been suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and logistics providers in a variety of industries.
Our top five customers (new or pre-existing) in the aggregate accounted for 10%, 11%, and 12% of total revenue for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in 2014,
2013, or 2012.
Product Development
We focus our development efforts on new product innovation and adding new functionality to existing solutions, integrating our
various solution offerings, enhancing the operability of our solutions across our Supply Chain Process Platform and across distributed
and alternative hardware platforms, operating systems, and database systems. We believe that our future success depends, in part, on
our ability to continue to enhance existing solutions, to respond to dynamically changing customer requirements, and to develop new
or enhanced solutions that incorporate new technological developments and emerging supply chain and industry standards. To that
end, development frequently focuses on base system enhancements and incorporating new user requirements and features into our
solutions. As a result, we deliver packaged, highly configurable solutions with increasingly rich functionality rather than custom-
developed software. We also deliver interface toolkits for many major ERP systems to enhance communication and improve data
flows between our core solutions and our clients’ host systems.
We leverage internal and external scientific advisors to inform our solution strategies and research and development approaches
with the most advanced thinking on supply chain opportunities, challenges, and technologies. Our internal research team is comprised
of Ph.D.-credentialed math and science experts who work on creating and solving algorithms and other constructs that advance the
optimization capabilities and other aspects of our solutions. We also regularly communicate with and are advised by experts from
leading educational institutions known for their supply chain disciplines, and practitioners from organizations deploying supply chain
technology in innovative and market-advancing ways. Together, our research team and external advisors inform both the practical
business approaches and the mathematical and scientific inventiveness of our solutions.
We conduct most research and development internally in the U.S. and India to retain domain knowledge and to promote
programming continuity standards. However, we may periodically outsource some projects that can be performed separately and/or
that require special skills. We also use third-party translation companies to localize our application software into various languages
such as, but not limited to, Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish.
Our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $49.0 million, $44.5 million,
and $44.7 million, respectively. We intend to continue to invest significantly in product development.
Competition
Our solutions are solely focused on enterprise commerce capabilities, which have been consolidating rapidly, are intensely
competitive, and are characterized by rapid technological change. The principal competitive factors affecting the markets for our
solutions include: industry expertise; company and solution reputation; company viability; compliance with industry standards;
solution architecture; solution functionality and features; integration experience, particularly with ERP providers and material
handling equipment providers; ease and speed of implementation; proven return on investment; historical and current solution quality
and performance; total cost of ownership; solution price; and ongoing solution support structure. We believe we compete favorably
with respect to each of these factors.
Our competitors are diverse and offer a variety of solutions directed at various aspects of the supply chain, as well as at the
enterprise as a whole. Our existing competitors include:
Corporate information technology departments of current or potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;
ERP vendors, including Oracle, SAP, and Infor, among others;
Supply chain execution vendors, including JDA Software Group, Inc. (JDA), HighJump Software Inc., and the Sterling
Commerce division of IBM, among others;
Supply chain planning vendors, including JDA and SAS Institute Inc., among others; and
Smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to develop supply chain execution solutions and/or
planning solutions that apply in specific countries and/or globally.
We anticipate facing increased competition from ERP and supply chain management (SCM) applications vendors and business
application software vendors that may broaden their solution offerings by internally developing or by acquiring or partnering with
independent developers of supply chain planning and execution software. Some of these ERP and other potential competitors have
longer operating histories; significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources; greater name recognition; broader
10
solutions; and larger installed bases of customers than us. To the extent that ERP and SCM vendors or other large competitors develop
or acquire systems with functionality comparable or superior to ours, their larger customer bases, long-standing customer
relationships, and ability to offer broader solutions outside the scope of supply chain could create significant competitive advantage
for them. It also is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and/or new competitors could emerge to win significant
market share. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced earnings and margins and loss of
market share. In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial
condition.
We believe we have established meaningful competitive advantages through our supply chain expertise; our platform-based
solution approach; our track record of continuous supply chain innovation and investment; our strong and endorsing customer
relationships; our significant success in deploying and supporting supply chains for market-leading companies; and our ability to out-
execute others in identifying sales opportunities and demonstrating expertise throughout the sales cycle. However, to further our
market success, we must continue to respond promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors’ innovations.
Consequently, we cannot assure that we will not be required to make substantial additional investments in research, development,
marketing, sales and customer service efforts in order to meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete successfully
in the future.
International Operations; Segments
We have three reporting segments, based on geographic location: the Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and
Asia Pacific (“APAC”). For further information on our segments, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements. Our
international revenue was approximately $134.6 million, $110.8 million, and $104.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014,
2013, and 2012, respectively, which represents approximately 27%, 27%, and 28% of our total revenue for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. International revenue includes all revenue derived from sales to customers outside
the United States. We now have approximately 1,470 employees in our International operations.
Proprietary Rights
We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, and trade dress laws, confidentiality procedures, and
contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our products, processes and technology. We have registered trademarks for
Manhattan Associates and the Manhattan Associates logo, as well as a number of our products and features. Generally we enter into
confidentiality and assignment-of-rights agreements with our employees, consultants, customers and potential customers and limit
access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information. We license our proprietary products to our customers under license
agreements that we believe contain appropriate use and other restrictions in order to try to best protect our ownership of our products
and our proprietary rights in them, and to protect our revenue potential from our products. However, despite our efforts to safeguard
and maintain our proprietary rights, we cannot ensure that we will successfully deter misappropriation, unintended disclosure or
independent third-party development of our technology or our proprietary rights or information. Policing unauthorized use of our
products is difficult, and, while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software solutions exists, as is the case
with any software company, piracy could become a problem. Further, to the extent that we enter into transactions in countries where
intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced, our efforts to protect our proprietary rights may be
ineffective. Whether we seek to enforce our proprietary rights in the U.S. or abroad, our efforts, including litigation to enforce our
rights, can result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, and such efforts, or our failure to succeed in such efforts, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, regardless of the final outcome.
As the number of supply chain management solutions available in the marketplace increases and solution functionality continues to
overlap, supply chain software may increasingly become subject to claims of infringement or other misappropriation of intellectual
property. Third parties may assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us relating to our products, processes or
technology. Such claims, whether or not they have merit, generally are time-consuming and may result in costly litigation, divert
management’s attention or cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Defense of
infringement or other misappropriation claims, entering into royalty or licensing agreements, the unavailability of such agreements, or
adverse determinations in proprietary rights litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash
flow and financial condition.
Employees
At December 31, 2014, we employed approximately 2,770 employees worldwide, of which 1,310 are based in the Americas, 190 in
EMEA, and 1,270 in APAC (including India).

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
You should consider the following and other risk factors in evaluating our business or an investment in our common stock. The
occurrence of adverse events described in the following risk factors or other adverse events not described in the following risk factors
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition, and could cause the
trading price of our common stock to decline.
Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial
condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price. Our business is
influenced by a range of factors that are beyond our control and that we have no comparative advantage in forecasting. These include:
general economic and business conditions;
overall demand for enterprise software and services;
governmental policy, budgetary constraints or shifts in government spending priorities;
general geo-political developments; and
currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Macroeconomic developments like the continued slow pace of economic recovery in the United States and Europe and in parts of
Asia and South America could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and outlook, which, in turn, could
adversely affect our stock price. Any general weakening of, and related declining corporate confidence in, the global economy or the
curtailment in government or corporate spending could cause current or potential customers to reduce or eliminate their information
technology budgets and spending, which could cause customers to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services or
cause customers not to pay us or to delay paying us for previously purchased products and services.
In addition, political unrest in places like Ukraine and its potential impact on global stability, terrorist attacks and the potential for
other hostilities in various parts of the world, potential public health crises and natural disasters continue to contribute to a climate of
economic and political uncertainty that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue
growth and profitability.
If our data protection or other security measures are compromised and as a result our data, our customers’ data or our IT
systems are accessed improperly, made unavailable, or improperly modified, our products and services may be perceived as
vulnerable, our brand and reputation could be damaged, the IT services we provide to our customers could be disrupted, and
customers may stop using our products and services, all of which could reduce our revenue and earnings, increase our
expenses and expose us to legal claims and regulatory actions. Our products and services can store, retrieve, manipulate and
manage our customers’ information and data as well as our own. We have a reputation for secure and reliable software products and
services and invest time and resources in protecting the integrity and security of our products, services and internal and external data
that we manage.
Nevertheless, we encounter attempts by third parties to penetrate or bypass our data protection and other security measures and
gain unauthorized access to our networks, systems and data or compromise the confidential information or data of our customers. Data
may also be accessed or modified improperly as a result of employee or supplier error or malfeasance and third parties may attempt to
fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information.
These risks are persistent and likely will increase as we continue to grow our cloud offerings and services and store and process
increasingly large amounts of our customers’ confidential information and data. We also may acquire companies, products, services
and technologies and inherit such risks when we integrate these acquisitions within Manhattan.
If a cyber-attack or other security incident described above were to occur, we could suffer damage to our brand and reputation,
which could reduce our revenue and earnings, increase our expenses to address and fix the incidents as well as expose us to legal
claims and regulatory actions.
Further, as regulatory focus on privacy issues continues to increase and become more complex, these potential risks to our business
will intensify. Changes in laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of sensitive data could greatly
increase our cost of providing our products and services.
Our software may contain undetected errors or “bugs” resulting in harm to our reputation which could adversely impact
our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Software products as complex as those offered by us might
contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or when new versions are released,. Despite testing, we cannot ensure that
errors will not be found in new products or product enhancements after commercial release,. Any errors could cause substantial harm
to our reputation, result in additional unplanned expenses to remedy any defects, delay the introduction of new products, result in the
13
loss of existing or potential customers, or cause a loss in revenue. Further, such errors could subject us to claims from our customers
for significant damages, and we cannot assure you that courts would enforce the provisions in our customer agreements that limit our
liability for damages. In turn, our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected.
We may not be able to continue to successfully compete with other companies. We compete in markets that are intensely
competitive and are expected to become more competitive as current competitors expand their product offerings. Our current
competitors come from many segments of the software industry and offer a variety of solutions directed at various aspects of the
extended supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. We face competition for product sales from:
corporate information technology departments of current or potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;
ERP vendors, including Oracle, SAP, and Infor, among others;
supply chain execution vendors, including JDA Software Group, Inc. (JDA), HighJump Software Inc., and the Sterling
Commerce division of IBM, among others;
supply chain planning vendors, including JDA and SAS Institute Inc., among others; and
smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to develop supply chain execution solutions and/or supply
chain planning solutions that apply in specific countries and/or globally.
We anticipate facing increased competition from ERP and supply chain management (SCM) applications vendors and business
application software vendors that may broaden their solution offerings by internally developing or by acquiring or partnering with
independent developers of supply chain planning and execution software. Some of these ERP and other potential competitors have
longer operating histories, significantly more financial, technical, marketing, and other resources, greater name recognition, broader
solutions, and larger installed bases of customers than do we. To the extent that ERP and SCM vendors or other large competitors
develop or acquire systems with functionality comparable or superior to ours, their larger customer bases, long-standing customer
relationships, and ability to offer broader solutions outside the scope of supply chain could create significant competitive advantage
for them. It also is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and/or new competitors could emerge to win significant
market share. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced earnings and margins, and loss of
market share. In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial
condition.
We believe the domain expertise required to continuously innovate supply chain technology in our target markets, effectively and
efficiently implement solutions, identify and attract sales opportunities, and compete successfully in the sales cycle provides us with a
competitive advantage and is a significant barrier to market entry. However, in order to be successful in the future, we must continue
to respond promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors’ innovations, and consequently we cannot assure you
that we will not be required to make substantial additional investments in connection with our research, development, marketing,
sales, and customer service efforts in order to meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete successfully in the
future. Some of our competitors have significant resources at their disposal, and the degree to which we will compete with their new
innovative products in the marketplace is undetermined.
Our operating results are substantially dependent on one line of business. We continue to derive our revenues from sales of
our supply chain solutions software and related services and hardware. Any factor adversely affecting the markets for supply chain
solutions could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Accordingly, our
future operating results will depend on the demand for our supply chain products and related services and hardware by our customers,
including new and enhanced releases that we subsequently introduce. We cannot guarantee that the market will continue to demand
our current products or we will be successful in marketing any new or enhanced products. If our competitors release new products that
are superior to our products in performance or price, demand for our products may decline. A decline in demand for our products as a
result of competition, technological change, or other factors would reduce our total revenues and harm our ability to maintain
profitability.
Our operating results are difficult to predict and could cause our stock price to fall. Our quarterly revenue and operating
results are difficult to predict and can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. If our quarterly revenue or operating results fall
below the expectations of investors or public market analysts, the price of our common stock could fall substantially. Our quarterly
revenue is difficult to forecast for several reasons, including the following: global macro-economic disruptions; credit and equity
market disruptions, which can significantly impact capital availability and spend timing of customers or potential customers; the
varying sales cycle for our products and services from customer to customer, including multiple levels of authorization required by
some customers; the varying demand for our products; customers’ budgeting and purchasing cycles; potential deferral of license
revenue well after entering into a license agreement due to extended payment terms, including, although infrequent, payment terms in
a contract extending beyond twelve months, significant software modifications, future software functionality deliverables not on a
stand-alone basis, or other negotiated terms that preclude software revenue recognition under U.S. general accepted accounting
principles; delays in our implementations at customer sites; timing of hiring new services employees and the rate at which these
14
employees become productive; timing of introduction of new products; development and performance of our distribution channels;
and timing of any acquisitions and related costs.
As a result of these and other factors, our license revenue is difficult to predict. Because our revenue from services is largely
correlated to our license revenue, a decline in license revenue could also cause a decline in our services revenue in the same quarter or
in subsequent quarters. In addition, an increase or decrease in hardware sales, which provide us with lower gross margins than sales of
software licenses or services, may cause variations in our quarterly operating results.
Most of our expenses, including employee compensation and rent, are relatively fixed. In addition, our expense levels are based, in
part, on our expectations regarding future revenue increases. As a result, any shortfall in revenue in relation to our expectations could
cause significant changes in our operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in quarterly losses. As a result of these
factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenue levels and operating results are not necessarily meaningful.
Historical growth rates and historical quarterly revenue and operating results may not be a good indicator of future operating results
and reliance on historical results should not be used to predict our future performance.
Our future revenue is dependent on continuing license sales, which in turn drive sales of post-contract support and
professional services. We are dependent on our new customers as well as our large installed customer base to purchase additional
software licenses, post-contract support, and professional services from us. Our post-contract support agreements are generally for a
one-year term and our professional services agreements generally only cover a particular engagement. In future periods customers
may not license additional products, and in turn may not renew post-contract support agreements or purchase additional professional
services from us. If our customers decide not to license or purchase these products and services from us, or if they reduce the scope of
their post-contract support or hosting or professional services agreements, our revenue could decrease significantly, and that could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
In addition, many of our customers are using older versions of our products for which we are no longer developing any further
upgrades or enhancements. While we intend to migrate our customers who are using these versions to newer versions or products,
there can be no assurance that these customers will do so. If customers using older versions of our products decide not to license our
current software products, or decide to discontinue the use of our products and associated post-contract support services, our revenue
could decrease and our operating results could be materially adversely affected.
We may encounter long sales cycles, particularly with our larger customers, which could have an adverse effect on the
amount, timing, and predictability of our revenue, adversely affecting our business, results of operations, cash flow, and
financial condition. Our products have lengthy sales cycles, which typically extend from nine to twelve months and may take up to
several years. Potential and existing customers, particularly larger enterprise customers, often commit significant resources to an
evaluation of available solutions and services and require us to expend substantial time and resources in connection with our sales
efforts. The length of our sales cycles also varies depending on the type of customer to which we are selling, the product being sold,
and customer requirements. We may incur substantial sales and marketing expenses and expend significant management effort during
this time, regardless of whether we make a sale. Many of the key risks relating to sales processes are beyond our control, including:
our customers’ budgetary and scheduling constraints; the timing of our customers’ budget cycles and approval processes; our
customers’ willingness to replace their currently deployed software solutions; and general economic conditions.
As a result of these lengthy and uncertain sales cycles of our products and services, it is difficult for us to predict when customers
may purchase products or services from us, thereby affecting when we can recognize the associated revenue, and our operating results
may vary significantly and may be adversely affected. The length of our sales cycle makes us susceptible to having pending
transactions delayed or terminated by our customers if they decide to delay or withdraw funding for IT projects. Our customers may
decide to delay or withdraw funding for IT projects for various reasons, including, but not limited to, global economic cycles and
capital market fluctuations.
Delays in implementing our products could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial
condition. Due to the size and complexity of most of our software implementations, our implementation cycle can be lengthy and may
result in delays. Our products may require modification or customization and must integrate with many existing computer systems and
software programs of our customers. This can be time-consuming and expensive for customers and can result in implementation and
deployment delays of our products. Additional delays could result if we fail to attract, train, and retain services personnel, or if our
alliance companies fail to commit sufficient resources towards implementing our software. These delays and resulting customer
dissatisfaction could limit our future sales opportunities, impact revenue, and harm our reputation.
Our pricing models may need to be modified due to price competition. The competitive markets in which we operate may
oblige us to reduce our prices in order to contend with the pricing models of our competitors. If our competitors discount certain
products or services, we may have to lower prices on certain products or services in order to attract or retain customers. Any such
price modifications would likely reduce margins and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, and
financial condition.
15
Our technology must be advanced if we are to remain competitive. The market for our products is characterized by rapid
technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changes in customer demands, and evolving industry
standards. Our existing products could be rendered obsolete if we fail to continue to advance our technology. We have also found that
the technological life cycles of our products are difficult to estimate, partially because of changing demands of other participants in the
supply chain. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to continue to enhance our current product
line while we concurrently develop and introduce new products that keep pace with competitive and technological developments.
These developments require us to continue to make substantial product development investments. Although we are presently
developing a number of product enhancements to our product sets, we cannot assure you that these enhancements will be completed
on a timely basis or gain customer acceptance.
Our ability to license our software is highly dependent on the quality of our services offerings, and our failure to offer high
quality services could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Most of our
customers rely to some extent on our professional services to aid in the implementation of our software solutions. Once our software
has been installed and deployed, our customers may depend on us to provide them with ongoing support and resolution of issues
relating to our software. Therefore, a high level of service is critical for the continued marketing and sale of our solutions. If we or our
partners do not efficiently and effectively install and deploy our software products, or succeed in helping our customers quickly
resolve post-deployment issues, our ability to sell software products to these customers would be adversely affected and our reputation
in the marketplace with potential customers could suffer.
Our failure to manage the growth of our operations may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, and
financial condition. We plan to continue to increase the scope of our operations domestically and internationally. This growth may
place a significant strain on our management systems and resources. We may further expand domestically or internationally through
internal growth or through acquisitions of related companies and technologies. If we fail to maintain continuity in our executive
officers; develop the management skills of our managers and supervisors; attract, retain, train, and motivate our employees; improve
our operational, financial, and management controls; and maintain adequate reporting systems and procedures and our management
and information control systems, our business, results of operations, and cash flow could be negatively impacted.
Our international operations have many associated risks. We continue to strategically manage our presence in international
markets, and these efforts require significant management attention and financial resources. We may not be able to successfully
penetrate international markets, or, if we do, there can be no assurance that we will grow our business in these markets at the same rate
as in North America. Because of these inherent complexities and challenges, lack of success in international markets could adversely
affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
We have international offices in Europe: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and France; and in Asia: China, Japan, Singapore,
and India; and Australia. We have committed resources to maintaining and further expanding, where appropriate, our sales offices and
sales and support channels in key international markets. However, our efforts may not be successful. International sales are subject to
many risks and difficulties, including those arising from the following: building and maintaining a competitive presence in new
markets; staffing and managing foreign operations; managing international systems integrators; complying with a variety of foreign
laws; producing localized versions of our products; import and export restrictions and tariffs; enforcing contracts and collecting
accounts receivable; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some
countries; potential adverse tax treatment; less stringent adherence to ethical and legal standards by prospective customers in some
countries; language and cultural barriers; currency fluctuations; political and economic instability abroad; and seasonal fluctuations.
Our operating results may include foreign currency gains and losses. Due to our international operations, we conduct a portion
of our business in currencies other than the United States dollar. Our revenues, expenses, operating profit and net income are affected
when the dollar weakens or strengthens in relation to other currencies. In addition, we have a large development center in Bangalore,
India, that does not have a natural in-market revenue hedge to mitigate currency risk to our operating expense in India. Fluctuations in
the value of other currencies, particularly the Indian rupee, could materially impact our revenues, expenses, operating profit and net
income.
We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities. As a multinational corporation, we are subject to income taxes in the U.S.
and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our global provision for income taxes and other tax
liabilities. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate
tax determination is uncertain. Our income tax returns are routinely subject to audits by tax authorities. Although we regularly assess
the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine our tax estimates, a final determination of tax
audits or tax disputes could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the earnings
of our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. If our plans change in the future or if we elect to repatriate the
unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to additional income taxes
which would result in a higher effective tax rate.
16
In addition, our future effective tax rates could be favorably or unfavorably affected by changes in tax rates, changes in the
valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. Such changes could have a material
adverse impact on our financial results.
We are also subject to non-income taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property and goods and services taxes
in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities with respect to these non-income taxes
and may have exposure to additional non-income tax liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
Fluctuations in our hardware sales may adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial
condition. A portion of our revenue in any period is from the resale of a variety of third-party hardware products to purchasers of our
software. However, our customers may purchase these hardware products directly from manufacturers or distributors rather than from
us. We view sales of hardware as non-strategic. We perform this service to our customers seeking a single source for their supply
chain needs. Hardware sales are difficult to forecast and fluctuate from quarter to quarter, leading to unusual comparisons of total
revenue and fluctuations in profits. If we are unable to maintain or grow our hardware revenue, our business, results of operations,
cash flow, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our research and development activities may not generate significant returns. Our product development activities are costly,
and recovering our investment in product development may take a significant amount of time, if it occurs at all. We anticipate
continuing to make significant investments in software research and development and related product opportunities because we
believe that we must continue to allocate a significant amount of resources to our research and development activities in order to
compete successfully. We cannot estimate with any certainty when we will, if ever, receive significant revenues from these
investments.
Our liability to clients may be substantial if our systems fail, which could adversely impact our business, results of
operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Our products are often critical to the operations of our customers’ businesses and
provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. If our products fail to function as required, we may be subject to claims for
substantial damages. Courts may not enforce provisions in our contracts that would limit our liability or otherwise protect us from
liability for damages. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert management’s time and attention.
Although we maintain general liability insurance and error and omissions coverage, these coverages may not continue to be available
on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover claims against us. In addition, our insurer may disclaim coverage as to any future
claim. If claims exceeding the available insurance coverage are successfully asserted against us, or our insurer imposes premium
increases or large deductibles or co-insurance requirements on us, then our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial
condition could be adversely affected.
We incorporate third-party software in our solutions, the failure or unavailability of which could adversely affect our
ability to sell, support, and service our products. We incorporate and include third-party software into and with certain of our
products and solutions and expect to continue to do so. The operation of our products could be impaired if there are defects in that
third-party software. It may be difficult for us to correct any defects in third-party software because the development and maintenance
of the software is not within our control. Such defects could adversely affect our business.
In addition, there can be no assurance that these third parties will continue to make their software available to us on acceptable
terms, or at all; not make their products available to our competitors on more favorable terms; invest the appropriate levels of
resources in their products and services to maintain and enhance the capabilities of their software; or remain in business. Any
impairment in our relationship with these third parties or our ability to license or otherwise use their software could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
The use of open source software in our products may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property,
which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Some of our products use or
incorporate software that is subject to one or more open source licenses. Open source software is typically freely accessible, usable
and modifiable. Certain open source software licenses require a user who intends to distribute the open source software as a
component of the user’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. In addition, certain open
source software licenses require the user of such software to make any derivative works of the open source code available to others on
unfavorable terms or at no cost. This can subject previously proprietary software to open source license terms.
While we monitor the use of all open source software in our products, processes, and technology and try to ensure that no open
source software is used in such a way as to require us to disclose the source code to the related product or solution, such use could
inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third-party software provider has incorporated open source software into software we license
from them for use in our products and solutions, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our
products and solutions. This could harm our intellectual property position and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
17
If we are unable to develop software applications that interoperate with computing platforms developed by others, our
business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition may be adversely affected. We develop software applications
that interoperate with operating systems, database platforms, and hardware devices developed by others, which we refer to collectively
as computing platforms. If the developers of these computing platforms do not cooperate with us or we are unable to devote the
necessary resources so that our applications interoperate with those computing platforms, our software development efforts may be
delayed and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. When new or updated versions of these computing
platforms are introduced, it is often necessary for us to develop updated versions of our software applications so that they interoperate
properly with these computing platforms. We may not accomplish these development efforts quickly or cost-effectively, and it is
difficult to predict what the relative growth rates of adoption of these computing platforms will be. These development efforts require
substantial investment, the devotion of substantial employee resources, and the cooperation of the developers of the computing
platforms. For some computing platforms, we must obtain some proprietary application program interfaces from the owner in order to
develop software applications that interoperate with the computing platforms. Computing platform providers have no obligation to
assist in these development efforts. If they do not provide us with assistance or the necessary proprietary application program
interfaces on a timely basis, we may experience delays or be unable to expand our software applications into other areas.
The computing platforms we use may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Any loss of the right to
use any of these systems could result in delays in the provision of our products and services, and our results of operations may be
adversely affected. Defects in computing platforms could result in errors or failure of our products, which could harm our business.
Our inability to attract, integrate, and retain management and other personnel could adversely impact our business, results
of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Our success greatly depends on the continued service of our executives, as well as
our other key senior management, technical personnel, and sales personnel. Our success will depend on the ability of our executive
officers to work together as a team. The loss of any of our senior management or other key professional services, research and
development, sales and marketing personnel—particularly if they are lost to competitors—could impair our ability to grow our
business. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our executive officers.
Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled employees. We face
significant competition for individuals with the skills required to perform the services we offer, and thus we may encounter increased
compensation costs that are not offset by increased revenue. In the broader technology industry in which we compete for talented
hires, there is substantial and continuous competition for engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing and
managing software, as well as competition for sales executives and operations personnel. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to
attract and retain sufficient numbers of these highly skilled employees or motivate them. Because of the complexity of the supply
chain market, we may experience a significant time lag between the date on which technical and sales personnel are hired and the time
at which these persons become fully productive.
Our growth is dependent upon the successful development of our direct and indirect sales channel mix. We believe that our
future growth also will depend on further developing and maintaining a successful direct sales force and strategic relationships with
systems integrators and other technology companies. We invest significant resources to maintain and develop our sales channels. Our
investment could adversely affect our operating results if these efforts do not generate license and service revenue necessary to offset
the investment. Also, our inability to partner with other technology companies and qualified systems integrators could adversely affect
our results of operations. Because lower unit prices are typically charged on sales made through indirect channels, a disproportionate
increase in indirect sales could reduce our average selling prices and result in lower gross margins. In addition, sales of our products
through indirect channels typically do not generate consulting services revenue for us at the same levels as direct sales, as the third-
party systems integrators generally provide these services. Similarly, indirect sales typically do not generate the same levels of direct
contact between our associates and those of our customer, and we may have more difficulty accurately forecasting sales, evaluating
customer satisfaction, and recognizing emerging customer requirements. In addition, these systems integrators and third-party
software providers may develop, acquire, or market products competitive with our products.
Our strategy of marketing our products directly to customers and indirectly through systems integrators and other technology
companies may result in distribution channel conflicts. Our direct sales efforts may compete with those of our indirect channels and, to
the extent different systems integrators target the same customers, systems integrators may also come into conflict with each other.
Any channel conflicts that develop may have a material adverse effect on our relationships with systems integrators or harm our
ability to attract new systems integrators.
Our employee retention and hiring may be hindered by immigration restrictions, which could adversely impact our
business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Foreign nationals who are not U.S. citizens or permanent
residents constitute a significant part of our professional U.S. workforce. Our ability to hire and retain these workers, and their ability
to remain and work in the U.S. are impacted by laws and regulations as well as by processing procedures of various government
agencies. Changes in laws, regulations, or procedures may adversely affect our ability to hire or retain such workers and may affect
our costs of doing business and/or our ability to deliver services.
18
Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash
flow, and financial condition. Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary technology. There are no
assurances that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized disclosure or third-party copying or use. We rely
on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements, licensing arrangements,
and contractual commitments, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights,
existing copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign
countries do not protect our rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse
engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Any infringement of our proprietary
rights could negatively impact our future operating results. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the
validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. In turn, our
business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our liability for intellectual property claims can be costly and result in the loss of significant rights, which could adversely
impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. It is possible that third parties will claim that we
have infringed their current or future products, inventions, or other intellectual property. We expect that supply chain software
developers like us will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products grows. Any claims, with or without
merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, or require us to pay monetary damages or to
enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could negatively impact our operating results. There are no assurances that
these royalty or licensing agreements, if required, would be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We also may be required to
indemnify our customers for damages they suffer as a result of such infringement. There are no assurances that legal action claiming
patent infringement will not be commenced against us, or that we would prevail in litigation given the complex technical issues and
inherent uncertainties in patent litigation. If a patent claim against us were successful and we could not obtain a license on acceptable
terms or license a substitute technology or redesign the product or feature to avoid infringement, we may be prevented from
distributing our software or required to incur significant expense and delay in developing non-infringing software. Any of these events
could seriously harm our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
Mergers or other strategic transactions involving our competitors could weaken our competitive position or reduce our
revenue. Our competitors have been consolidating, which may make them more formidable competitors to us. Competing with
stronger companies may cause us to experience pricing pressure and loss of market share, either of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Our competitors may establish or strengthen
their cooperative relationships with vendors, systems integrators, third-party consulting firms, or other parties. Established companies
may not only develop their own products but may also acquire or partner with our current competitors. If any of these events occur,
our revenue and profitability could significantly decline.
Our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition may be adversely affected if we cannot integrate
acquired companies or manage joint ventures. We may from time to time acquire companies with complementary products and
services. These acquisitions will expose us to increased risks and costs, including those arising from the following: assimilating new
operations and personnel; diverting financial and management resources from existing operations; and integrating acquired
technologies. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from any of these acquisitions to offset the associated acquisition
costs.
We will also be required to maintain uniform standards of quality and service, controls, procedures, and policies. Our failure to
achieve any of these standards may hurt relationships with customers, employees, and new management personnel. In addition, future
acquisitions may result in additional issuances of stock that could be dilutive to our shareholders.
Many acquisition candidates have significant intangible assets, and an acquisition of these businesses would likely result in
significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets are not amortized to income,
but are subject to at least annual impairment reviews. If the acquisitions do not perform as planned, future charges to income arising
from such impairment reviews could be significant. Likewise, future quarterly and annual earnings could be significantly adversely
affected. In addition, these acquisitions could involve acquisition-related charges, such as one-time acquired research and development
charges.
We may also evaluate joint venture relationships with complementary businesses. Any joint venture we enter into would involve
many of the same risks posed by acquisitions, particularly the following: risks associated with the diversion of resources; the inability
to generate sufficient revenue; the management of relationships with third parties; and potential additional expenses.
Our business may require additional capital. We may require additional capital to finance our growth or to fund acquisitions or
investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. Our capital requirements may be impacted by many factors,
including: demand for our products; the timing of and extent to which we invest in new technology; the timing of and extent to which
we acquire other companies; the level and timing of revenue; the expenses of sales and marketing and new product development; the
19
success and related expense of increasing our brand awareness; the cost of facilities to accommodate a growing workforce; the extent
to which competitors are successful in developing new products and increasing their market share; and the costs involved in
maintaining and enforcing intellectual property rights.
To the extent that our resources are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public
or private financing. However, additional funding, if needed, may not be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. In addition, since
we have historically financed our growth through cash flow from operations and available cash, our relative inexperience in accessing
the credit or capital markets may impair our ability to do so if the need arises. Our inability to raise capital when needed could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through
the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by our current shareholders would be diluted.
Fires or other catastrophic events at our principal facilities could cripple our business. Fires, natural disasters or other
catastrophic events, particularly those effecting our Atlanta headquarters [or India research and development center], may cause
damage or disruption to our operations, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to
interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis
management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our
customers.
Our ability to maintain and develop our brand is critical for our continued success. The brand identity we have developed has
significantly contributed to the continued success of our business. Our ability to maintain and develop our brand is critical in
expanding our base of customers, partners and employees. Our brand will depend largely on our ability to remain a technology leader
and continue to provide high-quality innovative products, services, and features. Significant investments may be required in order to
maintain and develop our brand. However, the investments may later be proven to be unsuccessful. If we fail to maintain and develop
our brand, or if we incur excessive expenses in our efforts to do so, our business, operating results and financial condition may be
materially and adversely affected.
Our stock price has been highly volatile. The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly since our initial
public offering in April 1998. In addition, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
various factors, including: global macro-economic contraction impacting demand for supply chain solutions; quarterly variations in
operating results; announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; developments with respect to
patents or proprietary rights; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and mergers, acquisitions, and combinations
involving our competitors or us.
During 2014, we repurchased approximately $91.1 million of Manhattan Associates’ outstanding common stock under the share
repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors throughout the year. In January 2015, our Board of Directors approved
raising our remaining share repurchase authority to $50.0 million of Manhattan Associates outstanding common stock.
In addition, the stock market has recently experienced volatility that has particularly affected the market prices of equity securities
of many technology companies. The volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those
companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Georgia law may inhibit a takeover of our company. Our basic corporate
documents and Georgia law contain provisions that might enable our management to resist a takeover of our company. These
provisions might discourage, delay, or prevent a change in the control of our company or a change in our management. These
provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors and take
other corporate actions. The existence of these provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future
for shares of our common stock.

Properties
Our principal administrative, sales, marketing, support, and research and development facility is located in approximately 221,000
square feet of modern office space in Atlanta, Georgia. Substantially all of this space is leased to us through September 30, 2025. We
have additional offices under multi-year agreements in Indiana and New Jersey. We also occupy facilities outside of the United States
under multi-year agreements in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, China, Singapore, India, and Australia. We also occupy
offices under short-term agreements in other geographical regions. We believe our office space is adequate to meet our immediate
needs; however, we may expand into additional facilities in the future.
20
Item 3.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, and we could be a party to
legal proceedings not in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding the result of
which it believes could have a material adverse impact upon its business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Many of our installations involve products that are critical to the operations of our clients’ businesses. Any failure in our products
could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for such failure. Although we attempt to
contractually limit our liability for damages arising from product failures or negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance that
the limitations of liability set forth in our contracts will be enforceable in all instances.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
All statements, trend analyses, and other information contained in the following discussion relative to markets for our products and
trends in revenue, gross margins, and anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements including words such as “anticipate,”
“believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” and “intend” and other similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under the caption
“Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K, and our actual results of operations may differ materially from those contained in the
forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
We develop, sell, deploy, service and maintain software solutions designed to manage supply chains, inventory and omni-channel
operations for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other organizations. Our customers include many of the
world’s most premier and profitable brands.
Specifically, Manhattan Associates solutions help our customers in three distinct areas:
• Supply Chain - Manhattan solutions provide companies across industries the tools needed to manage distribution and optimize
transportation costs throughout the entire network. Manhattan provides shippers the most comprehensive transportation
management solutions in the market. This includes moving freight via the most cost-effective means possible while also
meeting service level expectations. Likewise, Manhattan’s Warehouse Management solutions are widely regarded as industry
leading systems designed to optimize productivity and throughput in distribution centers and warehouses around the world.
• Omni-Channel - Meeting ever-evolving consumer expectations of service, inventory availability and delivery convenience is a
challenge every retailer must meet head on. Manhattan’s Omni-Channel solutions provide both ‘central’ or corporate solutions
that manage inventory availability across all channels and locations as well as ‘local’ solutions deployed in retail stores to
empower store associates to satisfy the demands of the walk-in shopper and the online customer.
•
Inventory - Manhattan solutions provide distributors of any finished goods (apparel, food, auto parts, pharmaceuticals, etc.) the
ability to forecast demand, determine when, where and how much inventory is needed and translate this into a profitable
inventory buying plan. Through the use of advanced science and sophisticated analytics, customer service level is maximized
with the minimum necessary inventory investment. Industry changes driven by omni-channel retail, pharmaceutical
regulations and other trends make this an area of particular need for many retailers and wholesale distributors.
Our business model is singularly focused on the development and implementation of complex supply chain commerce software
solutions that are designed to optimize supply chain effectiveness and efficiency for our customers. We have three principal sources of
revenue:
licenses of our supply chain software;
professional services, including solutions planning and implementation, related consulting, customer training, and customer
support services and software enhancements (collectively, “services”); and
hardware sales and other revenue.
In 2014, we generated $492.1 million in total revenue, with a revenue mix of: license revenue 15%; services revenue 76%; and
hardware and other revenue 9%.
We manage our business based on three geographic regions: Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Geographic revenue is based on the
location of the sale. Our international revenue was approximately $134.6 million, $110.8 million and $104.4 million for the years
ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, which represents approximately 27%, 27%, and 28% of our total revenue for
the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. International revenue includes all revenue derived from sales to
customers outside the United States. At December 31, 2014, we employed approximately 2,770 employees worldwide, of which 1,310
employees are based in the Americas, 190 employees in EMEA, and 1,270 employees in APAC (including India). We have offices in
Australia, China, France, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives in Mexico and
reseller partnerships in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Asia.
Global Economic Trends and Industry Factors
Global macro-economic trends, technology spending, and supply chain management market growth are important barometers for
our business. In 2014, approximately 73% of our total revenue was generated in the United States, 12% in EMEA, and the balance in
24
APAC, Canada, and Latin America. In addition, Gartner Inc., an information technology research and advisory company, estimates
that nearly 80% of every supply chain software solutions dollar invested is spent in North America (50%) and Western Europe (27%);
consequently, the health of the U.S. and the Western European economies has a meaningful impact on our financial results.
We sell technology-based solutions with total pricing, including software and services, in many cases exceeding $1.0 million. Our
software often is a part of our customers’ and prospects’ much larger capital commitment associated with facilities expansion and
business improvement. We believe that, given the lingering uncertainty in the global macro environment, the current sales cycles for
large license sales of $1.0 million or greater in our target markets have been extended. The current business climate within the United
States and geographic regions in which we operate continues to affect customers’ and prospects’ decisions regarding timing of
strategic capital expenditures. Delays with respect to such decisions can have a material adverse impact on our business, and may
further intensify competition in our already highly competitive markets.
In January 2015, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) provided a World Economic Outlook (WEO) update lowering its previous
2015 world economic growth forecast to about 3.5 percent, downward revision of 0.3 percent relative to the October 2014 WEO. The
WEO update noted that “global growth will receive a boost from lower oil prices, which reflect to an important extent higher supply,
but this boost is projected to be more than offset by negative factors, including investment weakness as adjustment to diminished
expectations about medium-term growth continues in many advanced and emerging market economies. The revisions reflect a
reassessment of prospects in China, Russia, the euro area, and Japan as well as weaker activity in some major oil exporters because of
the sharp drop in oil prices. The United States is the only major economy for which growth projections have been raised. ” The WEO
update projected that advanced economies, which represent our primary revenue markets, would grow at about 2.4 percent in both
2015 and 2016, while the emerging and developing economies would grow at about 4.3 percent in 2015 and 4.7 percent in 2016.
During 2014 and 2013, the overall trend has been steady for our large license sales, with recognized $1.0 million or larger software
license sales totaling fifteen, fourteen, and twelve for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. However, the large deal flow has been
inconsistent from quarter to quarter, reflecting what we believe to be ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty in the United States and
Western Europe. While we are encouraged by our 2014 and 2013 results, we, along with many of our customers, still remain cautious
regarding the pace of global economic recovery. With global GDP growth continuing to be well below pre-2008 levels, we believe
global economic volatility likely will continue to shape customers’ and prospects’ enterprise software buying decisions, making it
more difficult to forecast sales cycles for our products and the timing of large enterprise software license sales.
Revenue
License revenue: License revenue, a leading indicator of our business, is primarily derived from software license fees that
customers pay for supply chain solutions. In 2014, license revenue totaled $71.6 million, or 15% of total revenue, with gross margins
of 90.1%. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Americas, EMEA, and APAC recognized $59.5 million, $7.5 million, and $4.6
million in license revenue, respectively. Prior to the 2009 global recession, our typical license revenue percentage mix of new to
existing customers historically approximated 50/50. Post 2009, the percentage mix has fluctuated. For the year ended December 31,
2014, the percentage mix of new to existing customers was approximately 30/70.
License revenue growth is influenced by the strength of general economic and business conditions and the competitive position of
our software products. Our license revenue generally has long sales cycles. In addition, the timing of the closing of a few large license
transactions can have a material impact on our license revenues, operating profit, operating margins and earnings per share. For
example, $1.0 million of license revenue in 2014 equates to approximately one cent of diluted earnings per share impact.
Our software solutions are singularly focused on the supply chain commerce planning and execution markets, which are intensely
competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. We are a market leader in the supply chain management software
solutions market as defined by industry analysts such as ARC Advisory Group and Gartner. Our goal is to extend our position as a
leading global supply chain solutions provider by growing our license revenues faster than our competitors through investment in
innovation. We expect to continue to face increased competition from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain
Management application vendors and business application software vendors that may broaden their solution offerings by internally
developing, or by acquiring or partnering with independent developers of supply chain planning and execution software. Increased
competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share.
Services revenue: Our services business consists of professional services (consulting and customer training) and customer support
services and software enhancements (“CSSE”). In 2014, our services revenue totaled $376.0 million, or 76% of total revenue, with
gross margins of 55.0%. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC recognized $301.0 million, $51.4 million, and $23.6 million, respectively,
in services revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014. Professional services totaled $260.0 million in 2014, accounted for
approximately 69% of total services revenue and approximately 53% of total revenue. Our consolidated operating margin profile may
be lower than those of various other technology companies due to our large services revenue mix as a percentage of total revenue.
25
While we believe our services margins are very strong, they do lower our overall operating margin profile as services margins are
inherently lower than license revenue margins.
At December 31, 2014, our professional services organization totaled approximately 1,790 employees, accounting for 65% of our
total employees worldwide. Our professional services organization provides our customers with expertise and assistance in planning
and implementing our solutions. To ensure a successful product implementation, consultants assist customers with the initial
installation of a system, the conversion and transfer of the customer’s historical data onto our system, and ongoing training, education,
and system upgrades. We believe our professional services enable customers to implement our software rapidly, ensure the customer’s
success with our solution, strengthen our customer relationships, and add to our industry-specific knowledge base for use in future
implementations and product innovations.
Although our professional services are optional, the majority of our customers use at least some portion of these services for their
planning, implementation, or related needs. Professional services are typically rendered under time and materials-based contracts with
services typically billed on an hourly basis. Professional services are sometimes rendered under fixed-fee based contracts with
payments due on specific dates or milestones.
Typically, our professional services lag license revenue by several quarters, as implementation services and related consulting are
performed after the purchase of the software. Services revenue growth is contingent upon license revenue and customer upgrade
cycles, which is influenced by the strength of general economic and business conditions and the competitive position of our software
products. In addition, our professional services business has competitive exposure to offshore providers and other consulting
companies. All of these factors potentially create the risk of pricing pressure, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss
of market share.
For CSSE, we offer a comprehensive 24 hours per day, 365 days per year program that provides our customers with software
upgrades, when and if available, which include additional or improved functionality and technological advances incorporating
emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. Our CSSE revenues totaled $116.0 million in 2014, representing approximately 31%
of services revenue and approximately 24% of total revenue, respectively. The growth of CSSE revenues is influenced by: (1) new
license revenue growth; (2) annual renewal of support contracts; (3) increase in customers through acquisitions; and (4) fluctuations in
currency rates. Substantially all of our customers renew their annual support contracts. Over the last three years, our annual revenue
renewal rate of customers subscribing to comprehensive support and enhancements has been greater than 90%. CSSE revenue is
generally paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, typically twelve months. CSSE renewal revenue is
recognized over the renewal period and recognition is not initiated until payment is received from the customer.
Hardware and other revenue: Our hardware and other revenue totaled $44.5 million in 2014 representing 9.0% of total revenue
with gross margins of 18.4%. In conjunction with the licensing of our software, and as a convenience for our customers, we resell a
variety of hardware products developed and manufactured by third parties. These products include computer hardware, radio
frequency terminal networks, RFID chip readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. We resell all third-party
hardware products and related maintenance pursuant to agreements with manufacturers or through distributor-authorized reseller
agreements pursuant to which we are entitled to purchase hardware products and services at discount prices. We generally purchase
hardware from our vendors only after receiving an order from a customer. As a result, we do not maintain hardware inventory.
Other revenue represents amounts associated with reimbursements from customers for out-of-pocket expenses. The total amount of
expense reimbursement recorded to hardware and other revenue was $18.9 million, $15.3 million, and $12.6 million for 2014, 2013,
and 2012, respectively.
Product Development
We continue to invest significantly in research and development (R&D) to provide leading solutions that help global
manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and logistics providers successfully manage accelerating and fluctuating demands
as well as the increasing complexity and volatility of their local and global supply chains. Our research and development expenses for
the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $49.0 million, $44.5 million, and $44.7 million, respectively. At
December 31, 2014, our R&D organization totaled approximately 660 employees, located in the U.S. and India.
We expect to continue to focus our R&D resources on the development and enhancement of supply chain software solutions. We
offer what we believe to be the broadest solution portfolio in the supply chain solutions designed to manage supply chains, inventory,
and omni-channel operations for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other organizations.
26
We also plan to continue to enhance our existing solutions and to introduce new solutions to address evolving industry standards
and market needs. We identify opportunities to further enhance our solutions and to develop and provide new solutions through our
customer support organization, as well as through ongoing customer consulting engagements and implementations, interactions with
our user groups, association with leading industry analysts and market research firms, and participation on industry standards and
research committees. Our solutions address the needs of customers in various vertical markets, including retail, consumer goods, food
and grocery logistics service providers, industrial and wholesale, high technology and electronics, life sciences, and government.
Cash Flow and Financial Condition
For 2014, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $94.2 million and have generated a cumulative total of $258.8
million for the three years ended December 31, 2014. Our cash and investments at December 31, 2014 totaled $124.4 million, with no
debt on our balance sheet. We currently have no credit facilities. During the past three years, our primary uses of cash have been
funding investment in R&D and operations to drive earnings growth and repurchases of common stock.
During 2014, we repurchased approximately $91.1 million of Manhattan Associates’ outstanding common stock under the share
repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors throughout the year.
In 2015, we anticipate that our priorities for use of cash will be in developing sales and services resources and continued
investment in product development to drive and support profitable growth and extend our market leadership. We will continue to
evaluate acquisition opportunities that are complementary to our product footprint and technology direction. We will also continue to
weigh our share repurchase options against cash for acquisitions and investing in the business. We do not anticipate any borrowing
requirements in 2015 for general corporate purposes.

We manage our business based on three geographic regions: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Geographic revenue information is
based on the location of sale. The revenues represented below are from external customers only. The geographical-based expenses
include costs of personnel, direct sales, and marketing expenses, and general and administrative costs to support the business. There
are certain corporate expenses included in the Americas region that are not charged to the other segments including research and
development, certain marketing and general and administrative costs that support the global organization, and the amortization of
acquired developed technology. Included in the Americas costs are all research and development costs, including the costs associated
with the Company’s India operations. During 2014, 2013, and 2012, we derived the majority of our revenues from sales to customers
within our Americas region. The following table summarizes revenue and operating profit by region:

License revenue
Year 2014 compared with year 2013
License revenue increased $9.2 million, or 15%, to $71.6 million in 2014 compared to 2013. We completed fifteen and fourteen
large deals greater than $1.0 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our Americas license revenue increased $9.9 million, while
EMEA and APAC license revenue decreased $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, over 2013.
The license sales percentage mix across our product suite in 2014 was approximately 55% warehouse management solutions and
45% non-warehouse management solutions. Our warehouse management solutions increased $0.7 million, or 2%, in 2014 compared
to 2013 and non-warehouse management solutions increased $8.5 million, or 37%, in 2014 over 2013.
Year 2013 compared with year 2012
License revenue increased $0.9 million, or 1%, to $62.4 million in 2013 compared to 2012. We completed fourteen and twelve
large deals greater than $1.0 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our APAC license revenue increased $3.1 million, while
Americas and EMEA license revenue decreased $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, over 2012.
The license sales percentage mix across our product suite in 2013 was approximately 63% warehouse management solutions and
37% non-warehouse management solutions. Our warehouse management solutions decreased $0.7 million, or 2%, in 2013 compared
to 2012 and non-warehouse management solutions increased $1.6 million, or 7%, in 2013 over 2012.
Services revenue
Year 2014 compared with year 2013
Services revenue increased $60.1 million, or 19%, in 2014 compared to 2013 due to a $49.2 million, or 23%, increase in
professional services revenue and a $10.9 million, or 10%, increase in CSSE revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments
increased $46.1 million, $10.4 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, compared to 2013. The increase in services revenue is primarily
due to customer-specific initiatives in conjunction with customer upgrade activity and license deals signed.
Year 2013 compared with year 2012
Services revenue increased $32.0 million, or 11%, in 2013 compared to 2012 due to a $25.6 million, or 14%, increase in
professional services revenue and a $6.4 million, or 7%, increase in CSSE revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments
increased $26.3 million, $4.8 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, compared to 2012. The increase in services revenue is primarily
due to customer-specific initiatives in conjunction with customer upgrade activity and license deals signed.
30
Hardware and other
Sales of hardware increased $4.7 million to $25.6 million in 2014 compared to $20.9 million in 2013. Sales of hardware increased
$2.6 million to $20.9 million in 2013 compared to $18.3 million in 2012. The majority of hardware sales are derived from our
Americas segment. Sales of hardware are largely dependent upon customer-specific desires, which fluctuate. Other revenue represents
reimbursements for professional service travel expenses that are required to be classified as revenue and are included in hardware and
other revenue. Reimbursements by customers for out-of-pocket expenses were approximately $18.9 million, $15.3 million, and $12.6
million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Cost of license consists of the costs associated with software reproduction; hosting services; media, packaging and delivery,
documentation, and other related costs; and royalties on third-party software sold with or as part of our products. Cost of license
decreased by $1.6 million, or 19%, in 2014 compared to 2013 principally due to decreased cost of royalties and third party software
license fees over the prior year.
Cost of Services
Year 2014 compared with year 2013
Cost of services consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of employees dedicated to professional and
technical services and customer support services. The $26.9 million, or 19%, increase in cost of services in 2014 compared to 2013
was principally due to a $17.1 million increase in compensation, other personnel-related and travel expenses resulting from increased
headcount in our services organization to support ongoing growth of the business and a $5.8 million increase in performance-based
compensation expense. In addition, the increase partially resulted from increases in application software costs, temporary contracted
personnel, and stock compensation expense.
Year 2013 compared with year 2012
Cost of services increased $13.6 million, or 11%, in 2013 compared to 2012 principally due to a $11.9 million increase in
compensation and other personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount in our services organization and increased
third-party software maintenance costs and internal computer system costs.
Cost of Hardware and other
In 2014, cost of hardware increased $2.6 million to $17.7 million from $15.1 million in 2013 on increased sales of hardware. In
2013, cost of hardware increased $2.3 million to $15.1 million from $12.8 million in 2012 on increased sales of hardware. Cost of
hardware and other includes professional services billed travel expenses reimbursed by customers of approximately $18.6 million,
$15.1 million, and $12.4 million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Changes in amounts of out-of-pocket expenses correlate to
changes in amounts of services revenue.

Our principal research and development (R&D) activities during 2014, 2013, and 2012 focused on the expansion and integration of
new products and releases, while expanding the product footprint of our software solution suites in Supply Chain, Inventory and
Omni-Channel. The Manhattan Platform provides not only a sophisticated service oriented, architecture based framework, but a
platform that facilitates the integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other supply chain solutions.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, we did not capitalize any R&D costs because the costs incurred following
the attainment of technological feasibility for the related software product through the date of general release were insignificant.
Year 2014 compared with year 2013
R&D expenses primarily consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs for personnel involved in our research and
development activities. Research and development expenses in 2014 increased by $4.4 million, or 10%, compared to 2013. This
increase is primarily due to an increase of $1.7 million in compensation and other personnel-related expenses and an increase of $1.6
million in performance-based bonus expense.
Year 2013 compared with year 2012
R&D expenses were essentially flat over prior year due to slightly lower headcount and favorable currency impact driven by a
weakening of the Indian rupee against the US dollar.
Sales and Marketing
Year 2014 compared with year 2013
Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, commissions, travel and other personnel-related costs and the costs of our marketing
and alliance programs and related activities. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $8.1 million, or 18%, in 2014 compared to
2013. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in performance-based compensation expense of $6.0 million, a $0.6 million
increase in stock compensation expense, and a $0.7 million increase in compensation and other personnel-related expenses, including
temporary contracted personnel.
Year 2013 compared with year 2012
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or 2%, in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable
to a $1.2 million decrease in performance-based compensation and a decrease in stock compensation expense of $1.2 million partially
offset by an increase in sales and marketing operating expenses of $1.6 million.
General and Administrative
Year 2014 compared with year 2013
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs of executive, financial, human
resources, information technology, and administrative personnel, as well as facilities, legal, insurance, accounting, and other
administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $7.3 million, or 20%, in 2014 primarily attributable to an
increase of $1.5 million in compensation and other personnel-related expenses, an increase of $1.4 million in temporary contracted

personnel, an increase of $0.7 million in performance-based bonus expense, and an increase of $0.7 million in stock compensation
expense. The comparison to 2013 was also impacted by the $1.6 million reversal in 2013 of a previously expensed transaction tax
resulting from the expiration of the tax audit statutes.
Year 2013 compared with year 2012
General and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 3%, in 2013 primarily attributable to a $1.6 million reversal of a
previously expensed transaction tax resulting from the expiration of the tax audit statutes.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation expense amounted to $6.2 million, $5.8 million, and $5.6 million 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Amortization of
intangibles was immaterial in 2014, 2013 and 2012. We have recorded goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets as part
of the purchase accounting associated with various acquisitions.
Operating Income
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $25.8 million to $127.1 million, compared to $101.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating margins were 25.8% for 2014 versus 24.4% for 2013. Operating income and margin
increased primarily due to strong revenue growth and expense management during the year. Operating income also benefitted over the
prior year from favorable foreign currency translation of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to the
weakening of the Indian Rupee versus the U.S. dollar during the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was partially offset by a
$1.6 million reversal in 2013 of a previously expensed transaction tax resulting from the expiration of the tax audit statutes. Operating
income in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments increased by $18.5 million, $5.0 million, and $2.3 million, respectively in 2014.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased $21.2 million to $101.3 million, compared to $80.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating margins were 24.4% for 2013 versus 21.3% for 2012. Operating income and margin for
the year ended December 31, 2013 included a $1.6 million reversal of a previously expensed transaction tax resulting from the
expiration of the tax audit statutes. Furthermore, operating income and margins increased due to strong revenue growth and expense
management during the year. Operating income also benefitted over the prior year from favorable foreign currency translation effects
of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to the weakening of the Indian Rupee versus the U.S. dollar
during the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating income in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments increased by
$17.9 million, $0.6 million, and $2.7 million, respectively in 2013.

Other income, net primarily includes interest income, foreign currency gains and losses, and other non-operating expenses. Interest
income was $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The
weighted-average interest rate earned on cash and investments was approximately 1% for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013
and 2012. We recorded a net foreign currency loss of $0.4 million in 2014, a net foreign currency gain of $0.7 million in 2013, and a
net foreign currency loss of $0.1 million in 2012. The foreign currency gain and losses mainly resulted from gains or losses on
intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies with subsidiaries due to the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to other
foreign currencies, primarily the Indian Rupee.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rates were 35.9%, 34.7%, and 36.0% in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Our effective income tax rate
takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits.
The effective tax rate in 2014 increased from 2013 mainly due to increases in state tax rates. Additionally, the 2013 tax year included
33
the benefit of the reinstatement of the federal research and development tax credit for both the 2012 and 2013 tax years, partially
offset by decreases in reserves for uncertain tax positions.
The effective tax rate in 2013 decreased from 2012 mainly due to the reinstatement of the federal research and development tax
credit in January 2013 for the 2012 and 2013 tax years as well as reductions in valuation allowances for state tax credit carryforwards,
partially offset by increases in foreign taxes and reserves for uncertain tax positions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2014, 2013, and 2012, we funded our business through cash generated from operations. Our cash and investments as of
December 31, 2014 included $85.6 million held in the U.S. and $38.8 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that our
cash balances in the U.S. are sufficient to fund our U.S. operations. In the future, if we elect to repatriate the unremitted earnings of
our foreign subsidiaries in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes which would result
in a higher effective tax rate. However, our intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and we do not have a
current cash requirement need to repatriate cash to the U.S.
Our cash flow from operating activities totaled $94.2 million, $89.4 million, and $75.3 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012,
respectively. Typical factors affecting our cash provided by operating activities include our level of revenue and earnings for the
period, the timing and amount of employee bonus payments and income tax payments, and the timing of cash collections from our
customers which is our primary source of operating cash flow. Cash flow from operating activities for 2014 increased $4.8 million
compared to 2013 primarily attributable to higher revenue and net earnings offset slightly by higher cash paid for income taxes. Cash
flow from operating activities for 2013 increased $14.1 million compared to 2012 primarily attributable to higher revenue and net
earnings. Days sales outstanding was 61 at both December 31, 2014 and 2013, and 60 at December 31, 2012, reflecting solid cash
collections.
Our investing activities used cash of approximately $12.7 million, $7.8 million, and $7.0 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012,
respectively. The use of cash for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was for capital expenditures of
approximately $9.4 million, $2.8 million payment in connection with the asset acquisition of Global Bay Mobile Technologies
discussed in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, and net purchases of $0.5 million in investments. The use of cash for
investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was for capital expenditures of approximately $4.7 million and net
purchases of $3.1 million in investments. The use of cash for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $7.9
million in capital expenditures partially offset by the net maturities of $0.9 million in investments.
Our financing activities used cash of approximately $89.1 million, $51.8 million, and $63.5 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012,
respectively. The principal use of cash for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was to purchase approximately
$99.2 million of our common stock, including $8.1 million for shares withheld for taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock, partially
offset by proceeds generated from options exercised of $1.6 million and a $8.6 million excess tax benefit related to the exercise of
stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards. The principal use of cash for financing activities for the year ended December 31,
2013 was to purchase approximately $64.2 million of our common stock, including $5.0 million for shares withheld for taxes due
upon vesting of restricted stock, partially offset by proceeds generated from options exercised of $5.8 million and a $6.6 million
excess tax benefit related to the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards. The principal use of cash for
financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was to purchase approximately $103.2 million of our common stock,
including $3.5 million for shares withheld for taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock, partially offset by proceeds generated from
options exercised of $32.1 million and a $7.5 million excess tax benefit related to the exercise of stock options and vesting of
restricted stock awards. In January 2015, our Board of Directors increased our remaining share repurchase authority to a total of $50
million.
Periodically, opportunities may arise to grow our business through the acquisition of complementary products, and technologies.
Any material acquisition could result in a decrease to our working capital depending on the amount, timing, and nature of the
consideration to be paid. We believe that our existing cash and investments will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital
expenditure needs at least for the next twelve months, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In 2015, we
anticipate that our priorities for use of cash will be similar to prior years, with our first priority being continued investment in product
development and profitably growing our business to extend our market leadership. We will continue to evaluate acquisition
opportunities that are complementary to our product footprint and technology direction. We will also continue to weigh our share
repurchase options against cash for acquisitions and investing in the business. At this time, we do not anticipate any borrowing
requirements in 2015 for general corporate purposes.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued guidance codified in Accounting Standard Codification
(ASC) No. 606, Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace substantially all current revenue
recognition guidance once it becomes effective. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts
with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers unless the contracts are
in the scope of other standards. The new standard is less prescriptive and may require software entities to use more judgment and
estimates in the revenue recognition process than are required under existing revenue guidance. This guidance is effective for annual
and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective
approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients,
or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recognized at the date of
adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606 on our
consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Our principal commitments as of December 31, 2014 consist of obligations under operating leases. We expect to fulfill all of the
following commitments from our working capital. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of SEC rules.
Lease Commitments
We lease our facilities and some of our equipment under noncancelable operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates
through 2025. Rent expense for these leases aggregated $6.3 million, $5.9 million, and $5.8 million during 2014, 2013, and 2012,
respectively.

Obligations
Indemnities
Our customer contracts generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under those provisions, we generally agree, subject
to certain exceptions, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with third party claims against the customer
alleging that the customer’s use of our software products in compliance with their license infringe the third party’s patent, copyright,
or other intellectual property rights. Conditions to our obligations generally include that we are provided the right to control the
defense of the claims and, in general, to control settlement negotiations. Those provisions generally provide also that, if the customer
is prevented from using our software because of a third party infringement claim, our sole obligation (in addition to the
indemnification, defense, and hold harmless obligation referred to above) is to, at our expense, (i) procure for the customer the right to
continue to use the software, (ii) to replace or modify the product so that its use by the customer does not infringe, or, if either of the
foregoing are not reasonably feasible, to terminate the customer contract and provide a refund of the unamortized portion of the
customer’s license fee (based on a five year amortization period). Our customer contracts sometimes also require us to indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with death, personal injury, or property damage claims made by third parties
with respect to actions of our personnel or contractors. The indemnity obligations contained in our customer contracts generally have
no specified expiration date and no specified monetary limitation on liability. We have not previously incurred costs to settle claims or
pay awards under these indemnification obligations. We account for these indemnity obligations in accordance with FASB guidance
on accounting for contingencies, and record a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We have
not recorded any liabilities for these contracts as of December 31, 2014.
Warranties
In general, in our customer contracts we warrant to our customers that our software products will perform in all material respects in
accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer for six
months after first use of the licensed products, but no more than 24 months after execution of the license agreement. Additionally, we
warrant to our customers that our services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service
levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service
warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, we have not incurred significant recurring expense under
35
our product or service warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is nominal. Accordingly, we
have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2014.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or
complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may
change in subsequent periods.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances
that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. We believe that estimates,
judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based on information available to us at the time that these estimates,
judgments, and assumptions are made. To the extent there are material differences between those estimates, judgments, or
assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant
estimates, judgments, and assumptions are: Revenue Recognition, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Valuation of Goodwill, and
Accounting for Income Taxes.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue consists of fees from the licensing and hosting of software (collectively included in “Software license”
revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income), fees from implementation and training services (collectively, “professional
services”) and customer support services and software enhancements (collectively with professional services revenue included in
“Services” revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income), and sales of hardware and other revenue, which consists of
reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our professional services (collectively included in “Hardware
and other” revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income). All revenue is recognized net of any related sales taxes.
The Company recognizes license revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) a signed contract is obtained covering all
elements of the arrangement, (2) delivery of the product has occurred, (3) the license fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is
probable. Revenue recognition for software with multiple-element arrangements requires recognition of revenue using the “residual
method” when (a) there is vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair values of all undelivered elements in a multiple-
element arrangement that is not accounted for using long-term contract accounting, (b) VSOE of fair value does not exist for one or
more of the delivered elements in the arrangement, and (c) all other applicable revenue-recognition criteria for software revenue
recognition are satisfied. For those contracts that contain significant customization or modifications, license revenue is recognized
using contract accounting.
The Company allocates revenue to customer support services and software enhancements and any other undelivered elements of
the arrangement based on VSOE of fair value of each element, and such amounts are deferred until the applicable delivery criteria and
other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The balance of the revenue, net of any discounts inherent in the arrangement, is
recognized at the outset of the arrangement using the residual method as the product licenses are delivered. If the Company cannot
objectively determine the fair value of each undelivered element based on the VSOE of fair value, the Company defers revenue
recognition until all elements are delivered, all services have been performed, or until fair value can be objectively determined. The
Company must apply judgment in determining all elements of the arrangement and in determining the VSOE of fair value for each
element, considering the price charged for each product on a stand-alone basis or applicable renewal rates. For arrangements that
include future software functionality deliverables, the Company accounts for these deliverables as a separate element of the
arrangement. Because the Company does not sell these deliverables on a standalone basis, the Company is not able to establish VSOE
of fair value of these deliverables. As a result, the Company defers all revenue under the arrangement until the future functionality has
been delivered to the customer.
Payment terms for the Company’s software licenses vary. Each contract is evaluated individually to determine whether the fees in
the contract are fixed or determinable and whether collectability is probable. Judgment is required in assessing the probability of
collection, which is generally based on evaluation of customer-specific information, historical collection experience, and economic
market conditions. If market conditions decline, or if the financial conditions of customers deteriorate, the Company may be unable to
determine that collectability is probable, and the Company could be required to defer the recognition of revenue until the Company
receives customer payments. The Company has an established history of collecting under the terms of its software license contracts
without providing refunds or concessions to its customers. Therefore, the Company has determined that the presence of payment terms
that extend beyond contract execution in a particular contract do not preclude the conclusion that the fees in the contract are fixed or
determinable. Although infrequent, when payment terms in a contract extend beyond our standard terms or twelve months, the
Company has determined that such fees are not fixed or determinable and recognizes revenue as payments become due provided that
all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.
36
The Company’s services revenue consists of fees generated from professional services and customer support and software
enhancements related to the Company’s software products. Professional services include system planning, design, configuration,
testing, and other software implementation support, and are not typically essential to the functionality of the software. Fees from
professional services performed by the Company are separately priced and are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is
recognized as the services are performed. In certain situations, professional services are rendered under agreements in which billings
are limited to contractual maximums or based upon a fixed fee for portions of or all of the engagement. Revenue related to fixed-fee-
based contracts is recognized on a proportional performance basis based on the hours incurred on discrete projects within an overall
services arrangement. The Company has determined that output measures, or services delivered, approximate the input measures
associated with fixed-fee services arrangements. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period in which they become
known. Revenue related to customer support services and software enhancements is generally paid in advance and recognized ratably
over the term of the agreement, typically twelve months.
Hardware and other revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware products, developed and manufactured by third
parties, that are integrated with and complementary to the Company’s software solutions. As part of a complete solution, the
Company’s customers periodically purchase hardware from the Company for use with the software licenses purchased from the
Company. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, radio frequency identification (RFID) chip
readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. Hardware revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer when
title passes. The Company generally purchases hardware from the Company’s vendors only after receiving an order from a customer.
As a result, the Company generally does not maintain hardware inventory.
In accordance with the other presentation matters within the Revenue Recognition Topic of the ASC, the Company recognizes
amounts associated with reimbursements from customers for out-of-pocket expenses as revenue. Such amounts have been included in
“Hardware and other” revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The total amount of expense reimbursement
recorded to revenue was $18.9 million, $15.3 million, and $12.6 million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Accounting for Income Taxes
We provide for the effect of income taxes on our financial position and results of operations in accordance with the Income Taxes
Topic of the ASC. Under this accounting pronouncement, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of income taxes payable or
refundable for the current year and for the change in net deferred tax assets or liabilities resulting from events that are recorded for
financial reporting purposes in a different reporting period than recorded in the tax return. Management must make significant
assumptions, judgments, and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes and also our deferred tax assets and
liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recorded against our net deferred tax asset.
Our judgments, assumptions, and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our
interpretation of current tax laws, allowable deductions, projected tax credits, and possible outcomes of current and future audits
conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. We do not recognize a tax benefit unless we conclude that it is more likely than not
that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If
the recognition threshold is met, we recognize a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in our judgment, is
greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and
future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our financial position and results of operations.
Our assumptions, judgments, and estimates relative to the value of our net deferred tax asset take into account predictions of the
amount and category of future taxable income. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future
years could render our current assumptions, judgments, and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate, thus materially
impacting our financial position and results of operations.

Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Business
Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to differing economic
conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility.
Our international operations currently include business activity out of offices in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France,
Australia, China, Japan, Singapore, and India. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against a foreign currency, the value of our sales and
expenses in that currency converted to U.S. dollars decreases. When the U.S. dollar weakens, the value of our sales and expenses in
that currency converted to U.S. dollars increases. We recognized a foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million in 2014, a foreign exchange
gain of $0.7 million in 2013, and a foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million in 2012. Foreign exchange rate transaction gains and losses
are classified in “Other (loss) income, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Income. A fluctuation of 10% in the period end
exchange rates at December 31, 2014 relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a change of approximately $0.1 million in the reported
foreign currency gain. A fluctuation of 10% in the period end exchange rates at December 31, 2013 relative to the U.S. dollar would
result in a change of approximately $0.5 million in the reported foreign currency gain.
Interest Rates
We currently invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, including taxable and tax-advantaged floating rate obligations in
money market funds and certificates of deposit. These investments are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign
currencies overseas, except for India, are derived from business operations. India operations are funded by the U.S. At December 31,
2014, our cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances totaled $124.4 million, of which $115.7 million is highly liquid. The
remaining $8.7 million balance is invested in short-term certificates of deposit. Our cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2014
was $39.0 million. Cash equivalents principally consist of highly-liquid money market funds and certificates of deposit with maturities
of less than three months when purchased.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest-earning instruments carry interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have
their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than
expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes
in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes
in interest rates. The weighted-average interest rate of return on cash and investment securities was approximately 1% for the years
ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The fair value of cash equivalents and investments held at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was
$47.7 million and $44.8 million, respectively. Based on the average investments outstanding during 2014 and 2013, increases or
decreases in the rates of return of 25 basis points would result in increases or decreases to interest income of approximately $0.3
million for both years from the reported interest income.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Manhattan Associates, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s
principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of the end of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has
determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 was effective.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2014, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 and has
issued a report regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appearing on page 41, which expresses an
unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Manhattan Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited Manhattan Associates, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based
on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). Manhattan Associates, Inc. and subsidiaries’ management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Manhattan Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Manhattan Associates, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Manhattan Associates, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Manhattan Associates, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 Framework), and our report dated February 5, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
1. Organization, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
Manhattan Associates, Inc. (“Manhattan” or the “Company”) is a developer and provider of supply chain commerce solutions that
help organizations optimize the effectiveness, efficiency, and strategic advantages of their supply chains. The Company’s solutions
consist of software, services, and hardware, which coordinate people, workflows, assets, events, and tasks holistically across the
functions linked in a supply chain from planning through execution. These solutions also help coordinate the actions, data exchange,
and communication of participants in supply chain ecosystems, such as manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, trading partners,
transportation providers, channels (such as catalogers, store retailers, and Web outlets), and consumers.
The Company’s operations are in North America, Europe (EMEA), and the Asia/Pacific (APAC) region. The European operations
are conducted through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Manhattan Associates Limited, Manhattan Associates Europe B.V.,
Manhattan France SARL, and Manhattan Associates GmbH, in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and Germany,
respectively. The Company’s Asia/Pacific operations are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Manhattan Associates Pty
Ltd., Manhattan Associates KK, Manhattan Associates Software (Shanghai), Co. Ltd., Manhattan Associates Software Pte Ltd., and
Manhattan Associates (India) Development Centre Private Limited in Australia, Japan, China, Singapore, and India, respectively. The
Company occasionally sells its products and services in other countries, such as countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle
East, and Asia, through its direct sales channel as well as various reseller channels.
Stock Split and Increase of the Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock
On December 19, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a four-for-one stock split of the Company’s common
stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend. Each shareholder of record at the close of business on December 31, 2013 received
three additional shares for every outstanding share held on the record date. The additional shares were distributed on January 10, 2014
and trading began on a split-adjusted basis on January 13, 2014.
On May 15, 2014, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase
the authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000. The amendment was effective on May 15, 2014.
All references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable
disclosures have been restated to reflect the effect of the four-for-one stock split for all periods presented. The Company retained the
current par value of $0.01 per share for all shares of common stock. Stockholders’ equity reflects the stock split by reclassifying an
amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split from “Additional Paid-in Capital” or “Retained Earnings”
to “Common stock.”
Principles of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries have been translated into United States dollars in accordance with the foreign
currency matters topic in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the
“Codification”). Revenues and expenses from international operations were denominated in the respective local currencies and
translated using the average monthly exchange rates for the year. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange
rates in effect at the balance sheet date and the effect of changes in exchange rates from year to year are disclosed as a separate
component of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income.
48
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which will replace substantially all current revenue recognition guidance once it becomes effective. The new standard provides
accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide
goods or services to their customers unless the contracts are in the scope of other standards. The new standard is less prescriptive and
may require software entities to use more judgment and estimates in the revenue recognition process than are required under existing
revenue guidance. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, using either of the
following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period
with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially
adopting the standard recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating
the impact of the provisions of ASC 606 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which
we will adopt the standard in 2017.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash
equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents
and short- and long-term investments with various financial institutions. Amounts held are above the federally insured limit.
The Company’s sales are primarily to companies located in the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company performs periodic
credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due principally from
large U.S., European and Asia Pacific companies under stated contract terms. Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2014 for
the Americas, EMEA, and APAC companies were $69.2 million, $13.5 million, and $4.1 million, respectively. Accounts receivable,
net as of December 31, 2013 for the Americas, EMEA, and APAC companies were $57.0 million, $9.9 million, and $4.2 million,
respectively. The Company’s top five customers in aggregate accounted for 10%, 11%, and 12% of total revenue recognized for each
of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in
the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 or for more than 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures its investments based on a fair value hierarchy disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of
market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of
factors, including the type of asset or liability and their characteristics. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as
follows:
Level 1–Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2–Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets
that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in
active markets.
Level 3–Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are
unobservable.
The Company’s investments are categorized as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair market value. Investments with
maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; investments with maturities of greater than
90 days from the date of purchase but less than one year are generally classified as short-term investments; and investments with
maturities of one year or greater from the date of purchase are generally classified as long-term investments. Unrealized holding gains
and losses are reflected as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. For the purposes of computing
realized gains and losses, cost is determined on a specific identification basis.
At December 31, 2014, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances were $76.7 million, $39.0
million, and $8.7 million, respectively. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market funds and certificates of deposit.
49
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit. The Company uses quoted prices from active markets that are classified at
Level 1 as a highest level observable input in the disclosure hierarchy framework for all available-for-sale securities. At December 31,
2014, the Company has $30.4 million in money market funds, which are classified as Level 1 and are included in cash and cash
equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has no long-term investments or investments classified as Level 2 or
Level 3.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon an evaluation of historical amounts written-off, the
customers’ ability to pay, and general economic conditions; self-insurance accruals; impairment of goodwill; stock based
compensation, which is based on the number of awards ultimately expected to vest; and the Company’s effective income tax rate
(including the impact of unrecognized tax benefits) and deferred tax assets, which are based upon the Company’s expectations of
future taxable income, allowable deductions, and projected tax credits. Actual results will differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other financial instruments included
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values principally due to the short-term maturities of these
instruments. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are included as a separate component of “Accumulated other comprehensive
loss,” net of any related tax effect, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Risks Associated with Single Business Line, Technological Advances, and Foreign Operations
The Company currently derives a substantial portion of its revenues from sales of its software and related services and hardware.
The markets for supply chain execution and supply chain planning solutions are highly competitive, subject to rapid technological
change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions, and evolving industry standards that may render existing
products and services obsolete. As a result, the Company’s position in these markets could be eroded rapidly by unforeseen changes in
customer requirements for application features, functions, and technologies. The Company’s growth and future operating results will
depend, in part, upon its ability to enhance existing applications and develop and introduce new applications that meet changing
customer requirements that respond to competitive products and that achieve market acceptance. Any factor adversely affecting the
markets for supply chain execution and supply chain planning solutions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business,
financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.
The Company’s international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to, differing
economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate
volatility. In addition, we have a large development center in Bangalore, India, that does not have a natural in-market revenue hedge to
mitigate currency risk to our operating expense in India. Fluctuations in the value of other currencies, particularly the Indian rupee,
could significantly affect our revenues, expenses, operating profit and net income. The Company recognized a foreign exchange loss
of $0.4 million in 2014, a foreign exchange rate gain of $0.7 million in 2013, and a foreign exchange rate loss of $0.1 million in 2012.
Foreign exchange rate transaction gains and losses are classified in “Other (loss) income, net” on the Consolidated Statements of
Income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue consists of fees from the licensing and hosting of software (collectively included in “Software license”
revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income), fees from implementation and training services (collectively, “professional
services”) and customer support services and software enhancements (collectively with professional services revenue included in
“Services” revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income), and sales of hardware and other revenue, which consists of
reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our professional services (collectively included in “Hardware
and other” revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income). All revenue is recognized net of any related sales taxes.

The Company recognizes license revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) a signed contract is obtained covering all
elements of the arrangement, (2) delivery of the product has occurred, (3) the license fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is
probable. Revenue recognition for software with multiple-element arrangements requires recognition of revenue using the “residual
method” when (a) there is vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair values of all undelivered elements in a multiple-
element arrangement that is not accounted for using long-term contract accounting, (b) VSOE of fair value does not exist for one or
more of the delivered elements in the arrangement, and (c) all other applicable revenue-recognition criteria for software revenue
recognition are satisfied. For those contracts that contain significant customization or modifications, license revenue is recognized
using contract accounting.
The Company allocates revenue to customer support services and software enhancements and any other undelivered elements of
the arrangement based on VSOE of fair value of each element, and such amounts are deferred until the applicable delivery criteria and
other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The balance of the revenue, net of any discounts inherent in the arrangement, is
recognized at the outset of the arrangement using the residual method as the product licenses are delivered. If the Company cannot
objectively determine the fair value of each undelivered element based on the VSOE of fair value, the Company defers revenue
recognition until all elements are delivered, all services have been performed, or until fair value can be objectively determined. The
Company must apply judgment in determining all elements of the arrangement and in determining the VSOE of fair value for each
element, considering the price charged for each product on a stand-alone basis or applicable renewal rates. For arrangements that
include future software functionality deliverables, the Company accounts for these deliverables as a separate element of the
arrangement. Because the Company does not sell these deliverables on a standalone basis, the Company is not able to establish VSOE
of fair value of these deliverables. As a result, the Company defers all revenue under the arrangement until the future functionality has
been delivered to the customer.
Payment terms for the Company’s software licenses vary. Each contract is evaluated individually to determine whether the fees in
the contract are fixed or determinable and whether collectability is probable. Judgment is required in assessing the probability of
collection, which is generally based on evaluation of customer-specific information, historical collection experience, and economic
market conditions. If market conditions decline, or if the financial conditions of customers deteriorate, the Company may be unable to
determine that collectability is probable, and the Company could be required to defer the recognition of revenue until the Company
receives customer payments. The Company has an established history of collecting under the terms of its software license contracts
without providing refunds or concessions to its customers. Therefore, the Company has determined that the presence of payment terms
that extend beyond contract execution in a particular contract do not preclude the conclusion that the fees in the contract are fixed or
determinable. Although infrequent, when payment terms in a contract extend beyond our standard terms or twelve months, the
Company has determined that such fees are not fixed or determinable and recognizes revenue as payments become due provided that
all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.
The Company’s services revenue consists of fees generated from professional services and customer support and software
enhancements related to the Company’s software products. Professional services include system planning, design, configuration,
testing, and other software implementation support, and are not typically essential to the functionality of the software. Fees from
professional services performed by the Company are separately priced and are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is
recognized as the services are performed. In certain situations, professional services are rendered under agreements in which billings
are limited to contractual maximums or based upon a fixed fee for portions of or all of the engagement. Revenue related to fixed-fee-
based contracts is recognized on a proportional performance basis based on the hours incurred on discrete projects within an overall
services arrangement. The Company has determined that output measures, or services delivered, approximate the input measures
associated with fixed-fee services arrangements. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period in which they become
known. Revenue related to customer support services and software enhancements is generally paid in advance and recognized ratably
over the term of the agreement, typically twelve months.
Hardware and other revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware products, developed and manufactured by third
parties, that are integrated with and complementary to the Company’s software solutions. As part of a complete solution, the
Company’s customers periodically purchase hardware from the Company for use with the software licenses purchased from the
Company. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, radio frequency identification (RFID) chip
readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. Hardware revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer when
title passes. The Company generally purchases hardware from the Company’s vendors only after receiving an order from a customer.
As a result, the Company generally does not maintain hardware inventory.
In accordance with the other presentation matters within the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), the Company recognizes amounts associated with reimbursements from
customers for out-of-pocket expenses as revenue. Such amounts have been included in “Hardware and other” revenue in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. The total amount of expense reimbursement recorded to revenue was $18.9 million, $15.3
million, and $12.6 million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
51
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents amounts collected prior to having completed performance of professional services, customer support
services and software enhancements, and significant remaining obligations under license agreements. The Company generally expects
to complete such services or obligations within the next twelve months.
Returns and Allowances
The Company has not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, has not recorded a provision for
the cost of returns and product warranty claims at December 31, 2014 or 2013.
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the historical experience of write-offs and a detailed assessment
of accounts receivable. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts generally represent a sales allowance on services revenue,
which are recorded to operations as a reduction to services revenue. The total amounts charged to operations were $4.8 million, $2.9
million, and $4.3 million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management
considers the age of the accounts receivable, the Company’s historical write-offs, and the creditworthiness of the customer, among
other factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change accordingly, which could affect
the level of the Company’s future allowances. Uncollectible accounts are written off when it is determined that the specific balance is
not collectible.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists of furniture, computers, other office equipment, internal use software, and
leasehold improvements. The Company depreciates the cost of furniture, computers, other office equipment, and internal use software
on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (three to five years for computer software, five years for office equipment,
seven years for furniture and fixtures). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the term of the
lease. Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was
approximately $6.4 million, $5.8 million, and $5.6 million, respectively, and was included in “Depreciation and amortization” in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.

Software Development Costs
Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012,
the Company did not capitalize any internal research and development costs because the costs incurred between the attainment of
technological feasibility for the related software product through the date when the product was available for general release to
customers have been insignificant.
The Company determines the amount of development costs capitalizable under the provisions of FASB Codification accounting for
costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or marketed. Under this guidance, computer software development costs are charged to
R&D expense until technological feasibility is established, after which remaining software production costs are capitalized. The
Company has defined technological feasibility as the point in time at which the Company has a detailed program design or a working
model of the related product, depending on the type of development efforts, and high-risk development issues have been resolved
through end-to-end system testing.
52
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the values assigned to long-lived assets, including property and certain intangible assets, to determine
whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives may warrant revision or that
the remaining balances may not be recoverable. In such reviews, undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets are compared
with their carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. During 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company did not
recognize any impairment charges associated with its long-lived or intangible assets.
The evaluation of asset impairment requires management to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset
being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.
Goodwill and Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities
acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but instead tests goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. Goodwill
was $62.3 million at the end of each year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Approximately $36.0 million of the gross Goodwill
balance is deductible for income tax purposes. To date, there have been no goodwill impairments.
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually as of December 31 and between annual evaluations if events occur
or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such
circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate,
(2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.
The Company applied the simplified goodwill impairment test for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, that permits companies
to perform a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in the annual
goodwill impairment test for all or selected reporting units. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, companies are only
required to perform Step 1 of the annual impairment test for a reporting unit if the company concludes that it is not more likely than
not that the unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. To the extent the Company concludes it is more likely than not that a
reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step approach is applied. The first step would require a
comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, a second
step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company did not identify any macroeconomic or industry
conditions as of December 31, 2014, that would indicate the fair value of the reporting units were more likely than not to be less than
their respective carrying values. If circumstances change or events occur to indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of any
reporting units have fallen below their carrying value, the Company would test such reporting unit for impairment. The Company
performed its periodic review of its goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2014, and 2013, and did not identify any impairment
as a result of the review.
Guarantees and Indemnities
The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with the guarantee accounting topic in the FASB Codification. Our customer
contracts generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under those provisions, we generally agree, subject to certain
exceptions, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with third party claims against the customer alleging
that the customer’s use of our software products in compliance with their license infringe the third party’s patent, copyright, or other
intellectual property rights. Conditions to our obligations generally include that we are provided the right to control the defense of the
claims and, in general, to control settlement negotiations. Those provisions generally provide also that, if the customer is prevented
from using our software because of a third party infringement claim, our sole obligation (in addition to the indemnification, defense,
and hold harmless obligation referred to above) is to, at our expense, (i) procure for the customer the right to continue to use the
software, (ii) to replace or modify the product so that its use by the customer does not infringe, or, if either of the foregoing are not
reasonably feasible, to terminate the customer contract and provide a refund of the unamortized portion of the customer’s license fee
(based on a five year amortization period). Our customer contracts sometimes also require us to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the customer in connection with death, personal injury, or property damage claims made by third parties with respect to actions of our
personnel or contractors. The indemnity obligations contained in our customer contracts generally have no specified expiration date
and no specified monetary limitation on liability. We have not previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these
indemnification obligations. We account for these indemnity obligations in accordance with FASB guidance on accounting for
contingencies, and record a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any
liabilities for these contracts as of December 31, 2014, or 2013.
53
In general, in our customer contracts, the Company warrants to its customers that its software products will perform in all material
respects in accordance with the standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the
customer for six months after first use of the licensed products, but no more than 24 months after execution of the license agreement.
Additionally, the Company warrants to its customers that services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry
standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, the Company will provide for the
estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, the Company has not
incurred significant recurring expense under product or service warranties. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value
of these agreements is nominal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2014,
and 2013.
Segment Information
The Company has three reporting segments: Americas, EMEA, and APAC as defined by FASB Codification topic for segment
reporting. See Note 7 for discussion of the Company’s reporting segments.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $168,000, $154,000, and $95,000 in 2014, 2013, and 2012,
respectively. Advertising costs are included in “Sales and marketing” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed using net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding (“Weighted Shares”) for the period presented.
Diluted net income per share is computed using net income divided by Weighted Shares and the treasury stock method effect of
common equivalent shares (“CESs”) outstanding for each period presented. The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the
computation of net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 (in thousands, except per share data –

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments that are excluded from net income and reflected in shareholders’ equity. The entire accumulated other comprehensive
income balance as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 represents foreign currency translation adjustments.

2. Equity-Based Compensation
Equity Based Compensation Plans
As discussed in Note 1, on December 19, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a four-for-one stock split of the
Company’s common stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend. All references to stock award data have been restated to reflect
the effect of the stock split for all periods presented.
In May 2007, the Manhattan Associates, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was approved by the shareholders of the
Company and subsequently amended in May 2009 and May 2011. The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted
stock, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights. Vesting conditions can be service-based or performance-based, or a
combination of both.
As amended, a maximum of 30,000,000 shares are available for grant under the 2007 Plan. Each stock option or stock appreciation
right granted is counted against the maximum share limitation as one share, and each share of restricted stock or restricted stock unit
granted (including those that are service based or performance based) counts against the maximum share limitation as two shares.
Options and stock appreciation rights cannot have a term exceeding seven years. As of December 31, 2014, there were 12,936,372
shares available for issuance under the amended 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. The committee has the authority to interpret the provisions thereof.
The restricted stock awards contain vesting provisions that are 50% service based and 50% performance based for employee
awards and 100% service based for non-employee members of the Board of Directors (“Outside Directors”). The employee awards
have a four year vesting period, with the performance portion tied to annual revenue and earnings per share targets. The awards to
Outside Directors have a one year vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation cost for service-based restricted awards
with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period, with the amount of compensation cost recognized at any
date at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date. For its performance-based restricted
stock awards with graded vesting, the Company recognizes compensation cost on an accelerated basis applying straight-line expensing
for each separately vesting portion of each award.
In January 2012, in order to simplify equity grant administration, the Company changed its practice of granting restricted stock in
favor of granting restricted stock units, or RSUs, which convert to the Company’s common stock upon vesting. There is no material
difference between the grant of restricted stock and the grant of RSUs to either the Company or the recipients receiving the grants;
however, in contrast to the granting of restricted stock, no stock will actually be issued under the granting of RSUs until the units vest.
The Company does not currently grant stock options.
Stock Option Awards
The Company recorded equity-based compensation related to stock options granted prior to 2011 of $0.2 million and $0.6 million
during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. No amounts were recorded for equity-based compensation expense
related to stock options during the year ended December 31, 2014 as all stock options vested prior to 2014. The Company does not
currently grant stock options. A summary of changes in outstanding options for the year ended December 31, 2014 is as follows:

million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested
during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, based on market value at the vesting dates was $23.9 million, $26.8
million, and $15.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted
stock awards totaled $12.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.
Included in the RSU grants for the year ended December 31, 2014, are 148,916 units that have performance-based vesting
criteria. As noted above, the performance criteria are tied to the Company’s 2014 financial performance. As of December 31, 2014,
the performance criteria for the fiscal year were met and the associated equity-based compensation expense has been recognized for
the portion of the award attributable to 2014 services.
3. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to future federal, state, and foreign income taxes and has recorded net deferred tax assets on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2014 and 2013. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Significant components of the Company’s deferred
tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
Deferred tax assets:
Accounts receivable
Accrued liabilities
Equity-based compensation
Capitalized costs
Accrued sales taxes
Deferred rent
State tax credits
Foreign subsidiary net operating losses
Tax credits - foreign

The income tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options were approximately $3.1 million, $4.8 million, and $11.0 million
for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
As a result of losses in foreign locations, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $3.9
million available to offset future income. Approximately $3.4 million of the NOLs expire in 2015 to 2020, and the remainder does not
expire. The Company has established a valuation allowance for substantially all of these NOLs because the ability to utilize them is
not more likely than not.
The Company has tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $5.9 million available to offset future state tax. These tax credit
carry-forwards expire in 2017 to 2024. These credits represent a deferred tax asset of $3.8 million after consideration of the federal
benefit of state tax deductions. A valuation allowance of $2.7 million has been established for these credits because the ability to use
them is not more likely than not.
Deferred taxes are not provided for temporary differences of approximately $35.7 million, $31.4 million, and $29.5 million as of
December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, representing earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries that are intended to be permanently
reinvested. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested; accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income
taxes has been provided thereon. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be
subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to various foreign
countries. It is impractical to calculate the tax impact until such repatriation occurs.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $4.5 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Included in these amounts are unrecognized tax benefits totaling $2.8 million and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively, which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within its global operations in
income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recognized $0.1 million, $0.2 million,
and $0.2 million, respectively, of expense for the potential payment of interest and penalties. Accrued interest and penalties were $0.8
million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013. The Company conducts business globally and, as a result,
files income tax returns in the United State federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is generally
no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-US income tax examinations for the years before 2010. Due to the expiration
of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions globally during 2015, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that
unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $0.1 million.
4. Shareholders’ Equity
During 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company purchased 2,620,118, 2,831,520, and 7,779,312 shares of the Company’s common
stock for approximately $91.1 million, $59.2 million, and $99.7 million, respectively, through open market transactions as part of a
publicly-announced share repurchase program. In January 2015, the Board of Directors increased the remaining share repurchase
authority to $50 million.

5. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
Rents charged to expense were approximately $6.3 million, $5.9 million, and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014,
2013, and 2012, respectively. In August 2012, the Company amended its Atlanta headquarters lease to obtain additional space and
received reimbursement of $0.2 million from the landlord for leasehold improvements as part of the agreement. The entire cash rent
obligation is being amortized to expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Aggregate future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases as of December 31, 2014 are as follows (in

Legal and Other Matters
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its ordinary course of business, and
occasionally legal proceeding not in the ordinary course. Many of the Company’s installations involve products that are critical to the
operations of its clients’ businesses. Any failure in a Company product could result in a claim for substantial damages against the
Company, regardless of the Company’s responsibility for such failure. Although the Company attempts to limit contractually its
liability for damages arising from product failures or negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance that the limitations of
liability set forth in its contracts will be enforceable in all instances. The Company is not currently a party to any ordinary course legal
proceeding or other legal proceedings the result of which it believes is likely to have a material adverse impact upon its business,
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company expenses legal costs associated with loss contingencies as such
legal costs are incurred.
6. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors the Manhattan Associates 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”), a qualified profit sharing plan with a
401(k) feature covering substantially all employees of the Company. Under the 401(k) Plan’s deferred compensation arrangement,
eligible employees who elect to participate in the 401(k) Plan may contribute up to 60% of eligible compensation up to $17,500, as
defined, to the 401(k) Plan. The Internal Revenue Service raised the eligible compensation limit to $260,000 for 2014. Since 2012, the
Company has provided a 50% matching contribution up to 6% of eligible compensation being contributed after the participant’s first
year of employment. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company made matching contributions to the
401(k) Plan of $3.1 million, $2.7 million, and $2.4 million, respectively.
7. Reporting Segments
The Company manages the business by three geographic reportable segments: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. All segments
derive revenue from the sale and implementation of the Company’s supply chain execution and planning solutions. The individual
products sold by the segments are similar in nature and are all designed to help companies manage the effectiveness and efficiency of
their supply chain. The Company uses the same accounting policies for each reporting segment. The chief executive officer and chief
financial officer evaluate performance based on revenue and operating results for each region.
The Americas segment charges royalty fees to the other segments based on software licenses sold by those reporting segments. The
royalties, which totaled $3.0 million, $3.2 million, and $2.9 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, are included in cost of
revenue for each segment with a corresponding reduction in America’s cost of revenue. The revenues represented below are from
59
external customers only. The geographical-based costs consist of costs of professional services personnel, direct sales and marketing
expenses, cost of infrastructure to support the employees and customer base, billing and financial systems, management and general
and administrative support. There are certain corporate expenses included in the Americas region that are not charged to the other
segments, including research and development, certain marketing and general and administrative costs that support the global
organization, and the amortization of acquired developed technology. Included in the Americas’ costs are all research and
development costs including the costs associated with the Company’s India operations.
Amortization expense on intangible assets in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was immaterial.
In accordance with the segment reporting topic of the FASB Codification, the Company has included a summary of financial
information by reportable segment. The following table presents the revenues, expenses, and operating income by reportable segment
for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 (in thousands):

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system
of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in
all cases. Our disclosure controls and procedures, however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of
disclosure controls and procedures are met.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the
participation of management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are
met.

party, its agents, employees, partners, directors, shareholders and independent contractors harmless from all liabilities, costs, demands,

with any such claim or claims of any other broker or brokers purportedly acting on behalf of the indemnifying party claiming to have
interested Tenant in the Building, the 3rd Floor Space or the Demised Premises, or claiming to have caused such party to enter into
this Third Amendment.
6. No Defaults. Each party hereby agrees that there are, as of the date hereof, regardless of the giving of notice or the passage
of time, or both, no defaults or breaches on the part of Landlord or Tenant under the Lease.
7. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Lease.
8. Headings. The headings used herein are provided for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing this Third
Amendment.

matter hereto. Landlord and Tenant agree that there are no collateral or oral agreements or understandings between them with respect
to the Demised Premises, the 3rd Floor Space or the Building other than the Lease and this Third Amendment. This Third Amendment
supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, letters or other statements with respect to Tenant's lease of the 3rd Floor Space and the
Must-Take Space.
2
10. Binding Effect. This Third Amendment shall not be valid and binding on Landlord and Tenant unless and until it has been
completely executed by and delivered to both parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00), the mutual covenants and conditions set
forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and
Tenant agree to amend the Lease as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings as given
such terms in the Lease.
2. Premises Expansion.
a. Effective as of the earlier to occur of (i) the date Tenant occupies Floor 3 North or any portion thereof for the conduct
of Tenant's business or (ii) January 1, 2013 (the "Fourth Amendment Reconfiguration Date" or the "FARD"), the Original
Premises shall be deemed expanded to include Floor 3 North. Floor 3 North is stipulated by Landlord and Tenant to have
twenty-four thousand fifty-six (24,056) square feet of Rentable Floor Area, calculated using the "Standard Method for
Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings," approved as of June 7, 1996 by the American National Standards Institute, Inc.
(ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996), and shall be leased by Tenant subject to and in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of
the Lease, as amended hereby.
b. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Original Premises shall be deemed contracted to exclude therefrom the
portion of the Original Premises known as Floor 3 South, containing Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred One (17,301) square
feet of Rentable Floor Area and more particularly shown as "Floor 3 South" on page 2 of Exhibit A-4, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference. Such contraction of the Original Premises shall be deemed effective as of the Fourth
Amendment Reconfiguration Date. From and after the Fourth Amendment Reconfiguration Date, Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge, agree and stipulate that (i) the Premises shall contain one hundred ninety thousand nine hundred eighty-six
(190,986) square feet of Rentable Floor Area, (ii) all references in the Lease to the "Premises" shall be deemed to refer to the
Premises, as reconfigured pursuant to this Fourth Amendment, and (iii) for purposes of this Fourth Amendment, the difference
in Rentable Floor Area in the amount of 6,755 square feet between Floor 3 North and Floor 3 South is sometimes referred to
herein as the "Fourth Amendment Expansion Area").

c. Tenant shall surrender Floor 3 South to Landlord by no later than sixteen (16) calendar days following the Fourth
Amendment Reconfiguration Date (hereinafter the "Surrender Date") in accordance with the Lease, the same as if the Surrender
Date were the Expiration Date of the Lease Term with respect to the Floor 3 South. Thereafter, Tenant shall have no further
right, claim or interest with respect to Floor 3 South and shall remove all its equipment and property therefrom. Any property
not removed prior to the Surrender Date shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord shall be authorized to retain such property,
or any portion thereof, as Landlord's own property or to dispose of such property in any manner Landlord deems appropriate, in
Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant shall remain liable for any and all cost relating to any removal or disposition of any such
property and releases Landlord of any and all liability in connection therewith. Tenant's failure to surrender Floor 3 South to
Landlord on or before the Surrender Date shall constitute an event of default by Tenant and, in addition to Landlord's other
remedies set forth in this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of Floor 3 South shall be a tenancy at sufferance subject to summary
eviction as provided in O.C.G.A. §44-7-50 et. seq., and Tenant shall be required to pay monthly Rent for Floor 3 South (in
addition to monthly Base Rental for the Premises that Tenant shall continue to lease hereunder) pursuant to Paragraph 31(a) of
the Lease. Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Rent for Floor 3 South from and after the Fourth Amendment Reconfiguration
Date, except as provided hereinabove. The provisions of this subparagraph shall survive the partial termination of the Lease
with respect to Floor 3 South.
d. Within twenty (20) days after the Fourth Amendment Reconfiguration Date, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord a Certificate as to Lease Term in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-4.
3. Terms of the Lease. The lease of the Premises, as reconfigured hereby, shall be pursuant to all of the terms and conditions
