2018
ANNUAL
REPORT

To our valued shareholders:

The fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was by all accounts a successful
year for Virtusa. We delivered strong financial performance in fiscal
2018, highlighted by 19% revenue growth to a record $1.02 billion,
30%  non-GAAP  EPS  growth,  and  continued  robust  cash  flow
generation.  Our  strong  fiscal  2018  financial  results  reflect  the
continued  successful  execution  of  our  growth  strategy,  and,  in
particular,  our  focus  on  establishing  Virtusa  as  a  leader  in  digital
transformation  to  enable  our  clients  to  transform  their  operating
models and achieve success in an environment of rapid change and
disruption. As we look forward to fiscal year 2019 and beyond, we
are  more  confident  than  ever  that  Virtusa  is  uniquely  positioned
among its peers to lead our clients’ digital transformation journeys,
setting  the  stage  for  us  to  continue  our  trend  of  above-industry
growth.

During fiscal year 2018, Virtusa made a commitment to accelerate
our focus and investment on strengthening our digital capabilities.
Looking back on the year, I am pleased to say that we have made
excellent  progress  against  this  initiative,  executing  effectively  to
capitalize  on  the  rapidly  expanding  digital  market  opportunity.
Today, digital transformation is an absolute necessity for businesses
to  remain  competitive  and  achieve  their  growth  objectives.  This
reality, combined with our distinctive capabilities and deep domain
expertise, is driving strong momentum in our Digital practice across
all  our  industry  verticals,  with  clients  increasingly  seeking  our
expertise  to  help  them  reimagine  and  redefine  their  business
models  for  the  digital  age.  By  combining  our  unique  platforming
expertise, which simplifies, modernizes, and secures our clients’ IT
infrastructure,  with  our  Digital  strategy,  Digital  consulting,  and
Digital engineering services, we are enabling our clients to realize
the  full  potential  of  digital  transformation  across  their  entire
enterprise.  Our  proven  ability  to  deliver  end-to-end  digital
transformation with some of the world’s largest corporations is now
presenting us with greater opportunity than ever before to expand
within our existing client base and in the geographies and industries
we serve.

To  reinforce  our  growth  strategy,  we  will  continue  invest  in  our
digital  practice  in  fiscal  2019  including  seeking  acquisitions  that
serve to strengthen our capabilities. Virtusa’s acquisition of eTouch
in March 2018 is an excellent example of this approach. eTouch has
served  to  expand  Virtusa’s  Digital  engineering  expertise  and
broaden Virtusa’s service offerings in the areas of digital marketing,
cloud,  analytics,  and  data  security.  It  has  also  strengthened  our
presence in the High-tech Internet vertical, anchored by a leading
Silicon Valley-based multinational Internet company, which we are
now pleased to count as one of our top-ten clients.

In terms of financial results, we are extremely pleased with this past
year’s  performance.  For  fiscal  year  2018,  our  total  revenue  was
$1.02 billion, an increase of 19% compared to $858.7 million for the
fiscal  year  ended  March 31,  2017.  Non-GAAP  income  from
operations  was  $87.1 million 
in  fiscal  year  2018,  up  56%
year-over-year, representing non-GAAP operating margin of 8.5%, a
200  basis  point  improvement  over  fiscal  year  2017.  Non-GAAP

diluted earnings per share were $1.63 in fiscal year 2018, an increase
of 30% compared to fiscal year 2017. At March 31, 2018, our balance
sheet  also  remained  strong  with  $244.9 million  in  cash,  cash
equivalents,  and  short-term  and  long-term  investments,  and
$299.6 million  in  debt,  net  of  issuance  costs.  Cash  flow  from
operations  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March 31,  2018  was
$62.7 million, up from $27.6 million in fiscal year 2017.

The  driving  force  behind  our  success  continues  to  be  Virtusa’s
talented and dedicated team of over 20,000 employees who deliver
service  excellence  for  our  clients  every  day.  Their  ability  to
consistently  deliver  results  for  our  clients  at  the  highest  level  is
enabled by our dynamic gamified CICD (or ‘‘gCIDC’’) platform, the
only  ground-up  millennial  engagement  software  engineering
platform  in  our  industry.  As  an  engineering-first  firm,  Virtusa  has
worked diligently to demystify the software development life cycle,
levels  of
extract  key  productivity  metrics,  apply  very  high 
transparency,  and  publish  best-in-class  metrics  on  team  and
individual  leaderboards.  Our  unique  gCICD  platform  gathers  core
software engineering metrics, computes critical data driven insights,
applies data science, publishes best-in-class metrics, and celebrates
top  performers  using  leaderboards.  Our  gCICD  platform  utilizes
gamification,  a  key  behavioral  attribute  of  the  millennial
generation,  to  create  a  high-performance  meritocracy  where
best-in-class  is  set  and  reset  in  an  open,  transparent,  fun,  and
dynamic workplace environment. We believe this method is highly
attractive  for  today’s  engineers,  is  contagious,  and  enables  us  to
attract and retain the best and brightest talent in our industry. The
success  of  our  internal  platform  is  not  only  reflected  in  our  own
performance but has also been recognized outside our organization
as some of Virtusa’s clients have also begun to adopt and embrace
our gamified CICD platform within their organizations.

I  am  very  proud  of  what  we  accomplished  in  fiscal  year  2018.
Looking to fiscal 2019 and beyond, we remain intensely focused on
our  strategy  and  committed  to  delivering  above-industry  revenue
growth,  continued  annual  operating  margin  expansion,  and
earnings growth in excess of our revenue growth.

As we continue to carry out our strategy, I would like to thank our
clients and shareholders for their ongoing support. I would also like
to  extend  my  sincere  thanks  to  our  global  team  members  who
consistently  deliver  value  to  our  clients  by  providing  the  highest
levels of service excellence.

Sincerely,

21JUL200913581256

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (the ‘‘Annual Report’’) contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the ‘‘safe harbor’’ created by those sections. These statements relate
to,  among  other  things,  our  expectations  concerning  the  growth  of  our  business,  the  ability  of  our  clients  to
realize benefits from the use of our IT services; projections of financial results, the results of our operations and
our  financial  condition;  our  competitive  landscape;  the  impact  of  new  accounting  pronouncements;  future
capital  requirements  and  capital  expenditures;  market  risk  exposures;  customer  contracts;  our  service  delivery
mix and our plans, strategies and objectives for our company and our future operations. Any statements about
our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance or similar subjects are not
historical facts and may be forward-looking. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the

achievements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our actual results
may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to, those set forth in ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this
Annual Report. Our forward- looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions,
mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic investments. Except as may be required by law, we have no plans
to update these forward- looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report. We
caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward- looking statements, which speak only as of
the date made. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our
Form 10-Q and Form 8-K reports to the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’).

consumer  experiences,  improving  operational  efficiencies,  and  lowering  overall  IT  costs.  We  provide

business assurance, and maintenance and support services, including infrastructure and managed services.
We  help  our  clients  solve  critical  business  problems  by  leveraging  a  combination  of  our  distinctive
consulting approach, unique platforming  methodology, and deep  domain and  technology expertise.

Our  services  enable  our  clients  to  accelerate  business  outcomes  by  consolidating,  rationalizing  and
modernizing their core customer-facing processes into one or more core systems. We deliver cost-effective
solutions through a global delivery model, applying advanced methods such as Agile, an industry standard
technique designed to accelerate application development. We also use our consulting methodology, which
we refer to as Accelerated Solution Design (‘‘ASD’’), which is a collaborative decision-making and design
process performed with the client to ensure our solutions meet the client’s specifications and requirements.
Our  industry  leading  business  transformational  solutions  combine  deep  domain  expertise  with  our
strengths  in  software  engineering  and  business  consulting  to  support  our  clients’  business  imperative
initiatives across business growth and IT  operations.

Headquartered in Massachusetts, we have offices in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom,
the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Japan,

3

Australia  and  New  Zealand,  with  global  delivery  centers  in  India,  Sri  Lanka,  Hungary,  Singapore  and
Malaysia, as well as multiple near shore  delivery centers  in the United States.

We  support  the  chief  executive  officers  (‘‘CXOs’’)  at  our  client  organizations,  including  the  chief
information officers (‘‘CIOs’’), chief technology officers (‘‘CTOs’’), chief operating officers (‘‘COOs’’), and
chief digital/ marketing officers (‘‘CDOs/ CMOs’’) in solving their most critical issues, including reducing
total  cost  of  ownership,  accelerating  time-to-market,  increasing  productivity,  improving  innovation
velocity,  expanding  into  adjacent  markets  and/or  new  revenue  segments,  and  enhancing  the  customer
experience  delivered  by  their  organizations.  Virtusa’s  newly  formed  Digital  Business  Strategy  Group
(‘‘DBSG’’)  helps  clients  reimagine  their  business  and  develop  strategies  to  digitally  transform  their
business,  and  retain  and  strengthen  their  competitive  advantage  in  the  markets  they  serve.  Our  digital
engineering  services  (‘‘DES’’)  support  our  clients’  business  growth  imperative  by  delivering  targeted  and
differentiated  solutions  that  help  our  clients  expand  their  addressable  markets,  as  well  as  develop
go-to-market strategies supporting new revenue streams. To improve IT efficiencies and reduce the cost of
IT  operations,  we  use  our  operational  excellence  services  (‘‘OES’’)  to  help  our  clients  consolidate
applications  into  platforms,  rationalize  IT  infrastructure,  and  deliver  transformational,  industry-focused
solutions,  thereby  enabling  our  clients  to  deliver  modern,  efficient  and  agile  enterprise  application

ownership of their overall IT investments. We also combine industry specialization with our core services
to deliver high-impact solutions in critical business functions that help our clients transform their business
performance and gain competitive advantage  in the markets in which  they operate.

We  are  on  the  cusp  of  the  fourth  industrial  revolution  (‘‘4IR’’),  driven  by  the  convergence  of
technology  innovation,  changing  consumer  expectations,  supply  chain  expansion,  and  emergence  of
disruptive start-ups, that is fundamentally changing the way businesses operate. We operate in markets and
industries  where  the  combination  of  a  growing  millennial  population  and  rapid  advances  in  key
technologies, like mobility, big data analytics, social media and cloud computing, are providing disruptive
opportunities for progressive business leaders to break down barriers and expand market-share. We enable
our  clients  to  leverage  technology  innovations  to  provide  the  distinctive  millennial  customer  experiences
demanded by digital consumers who are increasingly looking for services that are available 24(cid:4)7 without
interruption,  location  aware  and  highly  customized  to  their  social  likes  and  dislikes.  Our  DBSG  services
help our clients understand business threats and opportunities in their industries and develop strategies to
mitigate  these  threats  and  capitalize  on  the  emerging  opportunities,  while  preparing  the  business  to
digitally transform and position itself better in the emerging digital business environment. As part of our
DES  solutions,  we  provide  end-to-end  consulting,  user  experience  design,  technology  selection,  and
implementation and support services, which allow our clients to understand emerging consumer demand in
their  markets  of  operation  and  develop,  and  execute  to,  a  roadmap  to  transform  their  business  and
enhance  their  competitive  differentiators.  Commoditization  of  IT  services  and  the  emergence  of
as-a-service models are putting tremendous pressure on our clients’ IT organizations to improve the way
they  manage  IT  operations  and  lower  the  overall  cost  of  IT.  Our  OES  solutions  enable  our  clients  to
improve operational and IT efficiencies through the innovative use of automation, effort compression and
IT simplification.

New advances in areas like internet of things (‘‘IoT’’), artificial intelligence (‘‘AI’’), machine learning
(‘‘ML’’), and robotics process automation (‘‘RPA’’) are now pushing the boundaries of how technology can
disrupt traditional business models and deliver significant value in several areas, including delivering new
products  and  services,  enhancing  consumer  experience,  and  improving  operational  efficiencies  of  the
business. We have invested in developing deep capabilities in these new areas, fostering a strong partner
ecosystem and building a rich platform for nurturing innovation and rapidly constructing prototypes that
use  IoT,  AI  and/or  RPA  to  solve  specific  business  problems  for  our  clients.  We  have  created  innovation
centers focused on certain technologies like IoT, AI, and ML, which offer a robust ecosystem for clients to
participate and innovate in creating new solutions to their business challenges. Through these innovation

4

centers,  we  have  been  able  to  deliver  award  winning  solutions  to  some  of  our  marquee  clients  in
healthcare, communications and insurance sectors.

Virtusa’s  xLabs,  an  important  initiative  we  began  two  years  ago,  is  our  focus  on  tapping  into  the
disruptive  startup  ecosystem  and  the  innovative,  cutting-edge  technologies  driving  these  businesses.  Our
xLabs, which began as a banking and financial services—focused FinTech Lab, has expanded its scope to
focus  on  delivering  digital  innovation  for  our  clients  across  banking  and  financial  services,  insurance,
healthcare, media and telecommunications industries. We have built our xLabs solution as a cloud-based
platform  that  offers  our  clients  discrete  technology  solutions  that  enable  them  to  accelerate  time  to
market,  and  provides  them  with  an  experimentation  sandbox  that  they  can  use  to  test  and  evaluate  new
products  and  services  targeted  at  millennial  consumers.  Today,  our  xLabs  team  has  built  and  delivered
innovative solutions using open API platforms, micro services frameworks, and block-chain. We expect to
continue  this  trend  of  investing  in  emerging  technologies  and  solutions  to  accelerate  digital  business
outcomes for our clients.

We  deliver  our  services  using  our  enhanced  global  delivery  model  which  leverages  a  highly  efficient
onsite-to-offshore  service  delivery  mix  and  proprietary  tools  and  processes  to  manage  and  accelerate
delivery, foster innovation, and promote continual improvement of outcomes delivered to our clients. Our
global service delivery teams work seamlessly at our client locations and at our global delivery centers to
provide value-added services rapidly and cost-effectively. Our teams do this by using our enhanced global
delivery  model,  which  we  manage  to  a  targeted  25%  to  75%  onsite-to-offshore  service  delivery  mix,
although  such  delivery  mix  may  be  impacted  by  several  factors,  including  our  new  and  existing  client
delivery requirements.

We  apply  our  innovative  platforming  approach  across  all  of  our  services.  Through  our  platforming
approach, we help our clients combine common business processes and rules, technology frameworks and
data into reusable application platforms that can be leveraged across the enterprise to build, maintain and
enhance  existing  and  future  applications.  Our  platforming  approach  enables  our  clients  to  continually
improve  their  software  platforms  and  applications  in  response  to  changing  business  needs  and  evolving
technologies,  while  also  allowing  them  to  improve  business  agility,  realize  long-term  and  ongoing  cost
savings and improve their ROI. Our platforming methodology also reduces the effort and cost required to
develop  and  maintain  IT  applications  by  streamlining  and  consolidating  our  clients’  applications  on  an
ongoing  basis.  We  believe  that  our  solutions  provide  our  clients  with  the  consultative  and  high-value
services  associated  with  large  consulting  and  systems  integration  firms,  the  cost-effectiveness  associated
with offshore IT outsourcing firms, and the  ongoing  benefits of our innovative  platforming approach.

To  strengthen  our  digital  engineering  capabilities,  and  establish  a  solid  base  in  Silicon  Valley,  on
March  12,  2018,  we  entered  into  an  equity  purchase  agreement  by  and  among  the  Company,  eTouch
Systems Corp. (‘‘eTouch US’’) and each of the equityholders of eTouch US to acquire all of the outstanding
shares  of  eTouch  US,  and  certain  of  the  Company’s  Indian  subsidiaries  entered  into  an  share  purchase
agreement by and among those Company subsidiaries, eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd (‘‘eTouch India,’’
together  with  eTouch  US,  ‘‘eTouch’’)  and  the  equityholders  of  eTouch  India  to  acquire  all  of  the
outstanding shares of eTouch India.

Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement and the share purchase agreement, on March 12,
2018,  we  acquired  all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  eTouch  US  and  eTouch  India  for  approximately
$140.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with up to an additional $15.0 million set aside for
retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management and key employees, in equal installments on the first
and  second  anniversary  of  the  transaction.  The  purchase  price  will  be  paid  in  three  tranches  with
$80.0 million paid at closing, $42.5 million on the 12-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, and
$17.5 million on the 18-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, subject in each case to certain
adjustments.

On  March  3,  2016,  to  create  a  unique,  fully  integrated  provider  of  comprehensive  solutions  and
services across the banking and financial services industry, expand our addressable market, and enable us
to pursue larger consulting and outsourcing contracts, our Indian subsidiary acquired approximately 51.7%
of  the  fully  diluted  shares  of  Polaris  Consulting  &  Services  Limited  (‘‘Polaris’’)  for  approximately
$168.3  million  in  cash  (the  ‘‘Polaris  Transaction’’)  pursuant  to  a  share  purchase  agreement  dated  as  of
November 5, 2015, by and among our Indian subsidiary, Polaris and the promoter sellers named therein.
On  April  6,  2016,  in  connection  with  the  Polaris  Transaction,  we  completed  an  unconditional  mandatory
open offer (the ‘‘Mandatory Tender Offer’’) to purchase an additional 26% of the fully diluted outstanding
shares  of  Polaris  from  Polaris’  public  shareholders  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  approximately
$89.1  million  (Indian  rupees  5,935  million).  Upon  the  closing  of  the  Mandatory  Tender  Offer,  our
ownership interest in Polaris increased from approximately 51.7% to 77.7% of Polaris’ fully diluted shares
outstanding,  and  from  approximately  52.9%  to  78.8%  of  Polaris’  basic  shares  outstanding.  In  order  to
comply with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers, during the three months ended December 31, 2016,
we  sold  3.7%  of  our  shares  of  Polaris  common  stock  through  a  public  offering  for  approximately
$7.6  million  in  proceeds,  net  of  $0.2  million  in  brokerage  fees  and  taxes,  which  reduced  our  ownership
interest in Polaris from 78.6% to 74.9% of Polaris’ basic shares of  common stock outstanding.

In  connection  with  our  acquisition  of  Polaris,  on  October  26,  2017,  we  announced  our  intention  to
commence  through  our  Indian  subsidiary,  a  process  that  could  lead  to  the  delisting  of  our  Indian
subsidiary, Polaris, from all stock exchanges on which Polaris’ common shares are listed. On February 12,
2018, we consummated the Polaris delisting offer to all public shareholders of Polaris in accordance with
the provisions of the SEBI Delisting Regulations, which resulted in an accepted exit price of INR 480 per
share  (‘‘Exit  Price’’),  for  an  aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $145.0  million,  exclusive  of
transaction  and  closing  costs,  resulting  in  Virtusa  India  increasing  its  ownership  interest  in  Polaris  from
approximately 74% to approximately 93% of the share capital of Polaris. Upon receipt of final approvals
from the stock exchanges on which Polaris is traded, the common shares of Polaris will be delisted from all
public exchanges on which the Polaris shares are traded. For a period of one year following the date of the
delisting from all stock exchanges on which Polaris common shares are listed, Virtusa India will permit, in
compliance with SEBI Delisting Regulations, the public shareholders of Polaris to tender their shares for
sale to Virtusa India at the Exit Price. If all the remaining shares of Polaris are tendered at the Exit Price,
we would pay an additional consideration  of approximately $56.0 million.

In connection with, and as part of the Polaris acquisition, on November 5, 2015, we entered into an
amendment with Citigroup Technology, Inc. (‘‘Citi’’) and Polaris, which became effective upon the closing
of  the  Polaris  Transaction,  pursuant  to  which,  (i)  Citi  agreed  to  appoint  the  Company  and  Polaris  as  a
preferred vendor for Global Technology Resource Strategy (‘‘GTRS’’) for the provision of IT services to
Citi  on  an  enterprise  wide  basis  (‘‘GTRS  Preferred  Vendor’’),  (ii)  the  Company  agreed  to  certain
productivity  savings  and  associated  reduced  spend  commitments  for  a  period  of  two  years,  which,  if  not
achieved,  would  require  the  Company  to  provide  certain  minimum  discounts  to  Citi  (which  is  now
satisfied),  (iii)  the  parties  amended  Polaris’  master  services  agreement  with  Citi  such  that  the  Company
would also be deemed a contracting party and the Company would assume, and agree to perform, or cause
Polaris  to  perform,  all  applicable  obligations  under  the  master  services  agreement,  as  amended  by  the
amendment  (the  ‘‘Citi/Virtusa  MSA’’),  and  (iv)  Virtusa  agreed  to  terminate  Virtusa’s  existing  master
services agreement with Citi, and have  the Citi/Virtusa MSA  be  the sole surviving agreement.

In  support  of  the  delisting  transaction  and  the  eTouch  acquisition,  on  February  6,  2018,  we  entered
into a $450.0 million credit agreement (‘‘Credit Agreement’’) with a syndicated bank group jointly lead by
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which amends and
restates our prior $300.0 million credit agreement (which we had originally entered into on February 25,
2016  (‘‘Prior  Credit  Agreement’’)  to  fund  the  Polaris  acquisition  and  Mandatory  Tender  Offer)  and
provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million term loan facility, and a $70.0 million
delayed-draw term loan. We drew down $180.0 million under the term loan of the Credit Agreement and

6

$55.0  million  under  the  revolving  credit  facility  under  the  Credit  Agreement  to  repay  in  full  the  amount
outstanding  under  the  Prior  Credit  Agreement  and  fund  the  Polaris  delisting  transaction.  On  March  12,
2018, we drew down the $70 million delayed draw to fund the eTouch acquisition. Interest under this new
credit  facility  accrues  at  a  rate  per  annum  of  LIBOR  plus  3.0%,  subject  to  step-downs  based  on  the
Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA. We intend to enter into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize
interest  rate  exposure.  The  Credit  Agreement  includes  maximum  debt  to  EBITDA  and  minimum  fixed
charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 6, 2023 (see
Note  11  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  further  information).  At  March  31,  2018,  the
outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement was $305.0 million.

On  May  3,  2017,  we  entered  into  an  investment  agreement  with  The  Orogen  Group  (‘‘Orogen’’)
pursuant to which Orogen purchased 108,000 shares of the Company’s newly issued Series A Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  initially  convertible  into  3,000,000  shares  of  common  stock,  for  an  aggregate  purchase
price of $108 million with an initial conversion price of $36.00 (the ‘‘Orogen Preferred Stock Financing’’).
In  connection  with  the  investment,  Vikram  S.  Pandit,  the  former  CEO  of  Citigroup,  was  appointed  to
Virtusa’s Board of Directors. Orogen is a new operating company that was created by Vikram Pandit and
Atairos Group, Inc., an independent private company focused on supporting growth-oriented businesses,
to  leverage  the  opportunities  created  by  the  evolution  of  the  financial  services  landscape  and  to  identify
and invest in financial services companies and related businesses with proven  business  models.

Under the terms of the investment, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a 3.875% dividend
per annum, payable quarterly in additional shares of common stock and/or cash at our option. If any shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have not been converted into common stock prior to May 3, 2024,
the  Company  will  be  required  to  repurchase  such  shares  at  a  repurchase  price  equal  to  the  liquidation
preference of the repurchased shares plus the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If we
fail to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will increase
by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of May 3, 2024 during the period
in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase
to more  than 6.875% per annum.

In connection with the investment, we repaid $81 million of our outstanding term loan under our Prior
Credit  Agreement,  and  our  board  of  directors  approved  the  repurchase  of  approximately  $30  million  of
our  common stock.

On  December  22,  2017,  the  U.S.  government  enacted  comprehensive  tax  legislation  commonly
referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (the ‘‘Tax Act’’). The Tax Act contains several key tax provisions
that will impact the Company, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective
January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also includes a variety of other changes, such as a one-time repatriation tax
on accumulated foreign earnings, a limitation on the tax deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of
business  asset  expensing,  and  reduction  in  the  amount  of  executive  pay  that  could  qualify  as  a  tax
deduction, among others. (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information)

We  provide  our  IT  services  primarily  to  enterprises  engaged  in  the  following  industries:
communications and technology (‘‘C&T’’); banking, financial services and insurance (‘‘BFSI’’); and media
and information (‘‘M&I’’). Our current clients include leading global enterprises such as Citi, JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. (‘‘JPMC’’) and British Telecommunications plc (‘‘BT’’), and leading enterprise software
developers. We have a high level of repeat business among our clients. For instance, during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2018, 96% of our revenue came from clients to whom we had been providing services for
at least one year. Our top ten clients accounted for approximately 50%, 45%, 47% of our total revenue in
the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016  respectively.  Our  largest  client  for  the  fiscal  year
ended  March  31,  2018,  Citi,  accounted  for  19%  of  our  total  revenue  with  no  other  client  accounting  for
10% or more of our revenues. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, Citi accounted for 17%
and 3% respectively.

Our approach to global IT services

Our expertise in supporting a broad range of IT services, ability to engage through a global delivery
model  that  optimizes  outcomes  and  use  of  proprietary  methodologies  like  platforming  to  improve  IT
efficiencies, allow us to be a trusted partner to our clients for their end-to-end IT services requirements.

Broad range of IT services. We provide a broad range of IT services, either individually or as part of an
end-to-end  solution,  from  business  and  IT  consulting,  customer  experience  and  UX  design,  technology
implementation, and platform assurance to application & infrastructure management. We have significant
domain expertise in large consumer facing industries, such as C&T, BFSI and M&I. Our recent acquisition
of  Polaris  has  significantly  enhanced  our  domain  strengths  in  BFSI,  allowing  us  to  deliver  distinctive
solutions  across  the  complete  spectrum  of  end-to-end  banking  and  financial  services  requirements.  Over
the  past  several  years,  our  investments  in  building  deep  capabilities  in  industry  focused  solutions  has
insurance,  healthcare  and
helped  us  develop  very  strong  domain-specific  capabilities  across 
telecommunications  industries  as  well.  We  have  designed  our  portfolio  of  IT  services  and  solutions  to
enable our clients to improve business performance, use IT assets more efficiently and optimize IT costs.

Enhanced global delivery model. We provide our services through our enhanced global delivery model
that leverages a highly-efficient onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix and proprietary tools and processes
to  manage  and  accelerate  delivery,  foster  innovation  and  promote  continual  improvement  of  outcomes
delivered to our clients.

Platforming  approach. We  apply  our  innovative  platforming  approach  across  our  IT  consulting,
technology  implementation  and  application  outsourcing  services  to  rationalize  IT  application  portfolios
and  reduce  costs,  increase  productivity  and  improve  the  efficiency  and  effectiveness  of  our  clients’  IT
application environments.

Our services

Business and IT consulting services. We provide business and IT consulting services to assist our clients
in more effectively managing their continually-changing business and IT environments, and aligning their
IT  investments  to  better  support  current  and  future  business  requirements.  Our  business  consulting
services  allow  clients  to  mitigate  risks  and  execute  successful  IT  programs  by  enabling  stakeholder
alignment,  formulating  the  business  case  and  ROI,  and  defining  agreed-upon  end  outcomes  using
innovative  techniques,  such  as  persona  development,  DILO  (Day-in-the-life-of)  journeys  and  rapid
prototyping  for  each  project.  We  also  assist  clients  in  assessing  new  approaches  to  improve  revenue
opportunities within existing markets, developing new products/solutions for existing and new markets and
improving  retention  and  share-of-wallet  through  a  better  understanding  of  customer  behavior  and

During  our  consulting  engagements,  we  often  leverage  proprietary  frameworks  and  tools  to
differentiate  our  services  from  our  competitors  and  to  accelerate  delivery.  Examples  of  our  unique
frameworks  and  tools  include  our  strategic  enterprise  information  roadmap  framework,  which  is  a
structured  service  offering  for  recommending  the  right  IT  platform,  solution  architecture,  transition
strategy and approach to meet current and future business requirements, our business process visualization
tools, which enable us to analyze, design and optimize enterprise business processes, and ASD. We have
also invested in our consulting services to help our clients effectively manage large, complex IT programs,
and  evaluate  and  develop  strategies  to  millennial-enable  their  enterprises  for  the  digital  consumer,  and
support the development of new, differentiated  customer experience improvement programs.

We believe that our consulting services are further differentiated by our ability to leverage our global
delivery model across our engagements. Our onsite teams work directly with our clients to understand and
analyze the current-state problems and to design conceptual solutions. Our offshore teams work seamlessly
with  our  onsite  teams  to  design  and  expand  the  conceptual  solution,  research  alternatives,  perform
detailed analyses, develop prototypes and proofs- of-concept and produce detailed reports. We believe that
this  approach  reduces  cost,  allows  us  to  explore  more  alternatives  in  the  same  amount  of  time  and
improves the quality of our deliverables.

Technology implementation services. Our technology implementation services involve building, testing,
deploying,  maintaining  and  supporting  IT  applications,  and  consolidating  and  rationalizing  our  clients’
existing  IT  applications  and  environments  into  platforms.  Leveraging  our  deep  skills  in  software
engineering and our expertise in the innovative use of technology to solve business problems, we help our
clients’ CIOs to make the right decisions on technology platform selection, support the implementation of
core application systems and help solve critical business problems, while ensuring that the CIO’s IT asset
estate remains optimized, cost-effective and supports  current and future business  requirements.

Our  technology  implementation  services  span  a  variety  of  capabilities,  including  custom  application
development, testing, maintenance and support services, and packaged software implementation services.
We have extensive and deep partnerships with leading technology platform vendors. We have incorporated
rapid,  iterative  development  techniques  into  our  approach,  extensively  employing  prototyping,  solution
demonstration  labs  and  other  collaboration  tools  that  enable  us  to  work  closely  with  our  clients  to
understand  and  deliver  to  their  most  challenging  business  requirements.  Leveraging  our  business
consulting services with advanced techniques like our ASD workshops, we are able to develop and deploy
applications quickly, often within solution  delivery cycles of less than three months.

Application  outsourcing  services. We  provide  a  broad  set  of  IT  application  outsourcing  services  that
enable us to provide comprehensive support for our clients’ needs to manage and maintain their software
applications and platforms cost-effectively. We endeavor to continually improve the applications under our
management and to evolve our clients’ IT applications into platforms. We combine a deep understanding
of software engineering with an innovation mindset to provide targeted outsourcing services that not only
help reduce the cost of existing IT operations, but  also improve the quality of applications over  time.

Our  outsourcing  services  leverage  innovative  techniques  and  methodologies  to  significantly  improve
IT efficiencies by reducing cycle time and compressing the work required to achieve specific outcomes. We
help our clients reduce the cost of business operations by preemptively identifying and resolving issues in
application  support  and  maintenance.  We  make  extensive  use  of  Agile  development  methodology  to
reduce and minimize business disruptions due to IT issues and support the CIO organization in improving
the business experience by leveraging RPA  to  drive  automation and process efficiencies.

We believe that our application outsourcing services are differentiated because they are based on the
principle  of  migrating  installed  applications  to  flexible  platforms  that  can  sustain  further  growth  and
business change. We do this by:

(cid:129) developing a roadmap for the evolution of applications  into platforms

(cid:129) establishing an ongoing planning and  governance process for  managing change

(cid:129) analyzing applications for common  patterns and services

(cid:129) identifying application components  that can be extended  or  enhanced as  core  components

(cid:129) integrating new functions, features and technologies into the  target architecture

We continue to strengthen our ability to deliver infrastructure management services (‘‘IMS’’) and IT
support  related  services  to  our  clients,  helping  them  manage  their  IT  operations  effectively  through  an
offshore  outsourced  model.  We  have  expanded  our  investments  into  the  capabilities  that  we  obtained
through  our  acquisition  of  Apparatus,  Inc.  in  April  2015  and  are  now  able  to  deliver  seamless
infrastructure management services to our clients around the clock, but also to perform these services in an
automated,  cost-effective  manner.  Further,  we  have  invested  in  building  out  strong  capabilities  in
improving  efficiencies  in  the  developer  environment.  Our  solutions  around  gamified  Continuous
Integration/ Continuous Deployment (‘‘gamified CICD’’) and Agile DevOps have helped us create a highly
agile  development  environment  that  allows  our  clients  to  accelerate  development  cycles,  improve
time-to-market, and become more responsive to changes in markets  in which they  operate.

Global delivery model. We have developed an enhanced global delivery model that allows us to provide
innovative IT services to our clients in a flexible, cost-effective and timely manner by leveraging an efficient
onsite-to-offshore  service  delivery  mix  and  our  proprietary  global  innovation  process  (‘‘GIP’’),  and  also
enables us to manage and accelerate delivery, foster innovation and promote continual improvement. We
manage to a targeted 25% to 75% onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix, which allows us to provide value-
added services rapidly and cost-effectively. During the past four fiscal years, we performed at least 74% of
our total annual billable hours at our offshore global delivery centers. However, for the fiscal year ending
March  31,  2019,  we  anticipate  the  onsite  ratio  to  slightly  increase  due  to  new  client  engagements  and
existing work on larger, more complex programs requiring a larger onsite presence. Our delivery mix may
also  fluctuate  from  time  to  time  due  to  several  other  factors,  including  new  and  existing  client  delivery
requirements,  as  well  as  the  impact  of  any  acquisitions.  Using  our  global  delivery  model,  we  generally
maintain  onsite  teams  at  our  clients’  locations  and  offshore  teams  at  one  or  more  of  our  global  delivery
centers. Our onsite teams are generally composed of program and project managers, industry experts and
senior business and technical consultants. Our offshore teams are generally composed of project managers,
technical architects, business analysts and technical consultants. These teams are typically linked together
through  common  processes  and  collaboration  tools  and  a  communications  infrastructure  that  features
secure,  redundant  paths  enabling  seamless  global  collaboration.  Our  global  delivery  model  enables  us  to
provide around the clock, world class  execution  capabilities  that span  multiple time zones.

All  of  our  major  delivery  centers,  located  in  Hyderabad,  Chennai  and  Bangalore  in  India  and
Colombo  in  Sri  Lanka  have  been  reassessed  at  CMMI  Level  5  maturity.  During  our  fiscal  year  ended
March  31,  2018,  we  launched  a  Global  CMMI  Program  to  re-assess  all  of  our  delivery  centers in
Hyderabad,  Chennai  and  Bangalore,  India,  and  Colombo,  Sri  Lanka  against  CMMI-DEV  v1.3  ML5  &
CMMI-SVC  v1.3  ML3.  This  would  the  first  of  the  initiatives  to  cover  multi-locations  and  multi-models
(CMMI-DEV  &  CMMI-SVC).  We  expect  the  re-assessment  to  be  completed  by  within  our  2019  fiscal
year.  CMMI  is  a  process  improvement  model  used  to  improve  a  company’s  ability  to  manage  project
deliveries to ensure predictable results. CMMI’s process levels are regarded as the standard in the industry
for evolutionary paths in software and systems  development and management.

Our enhanced global delivery model is built around our proprietary GIP, which is a software lifecycle
methodology  that  combines  our  experience  building  platform-based  solutions  for  global  clients  with
leading  industry  standards  such  as  rational  unified  process,  eXtreme  programming,  capability  maturity
model  and  product  line  engineering.  By  leveraging  GIP  templates,  tools  and  artifacts  across  diverse
disciplines  such  as  requirements  management,  architecture,  design,  construction,  testing,  application
outsourcing  and  production  support,  each  team  member  is  able  to  leverage  software  engineering  and
platforming best practices and extend  these benefits  to  clients.

During the initial phase of an engagement, we work with the client to define the specific approach and
tools  that  will  be  used  for  the  engagement.  This  process  tailoring  takes  into  consideration  the  client’s
business objectives, technology environment and currently-established development approach. We believe
our  innovative  approach  to  adapting  proven  techniques  into  a  custom  process  has  been  an  important
differentiator  that  allows  us  to  deliver  substantially  greater  value  to  our  clients  in  a  cost  effective  and
timely manner.

The  backbone  of  GIP  is  our  global  delivery  operations  infrastructure.  This  infrastructure  combines
enabling tools and specialized teams that assist our project teams with important enabling services such as
workforce  planning,  knowledge  management,  integrated  process  and  program  management  and
operational reporting and analysis.

Two  important  aspects  of  our  global  delivery  model  are  innovation  and  continuous  improvement.  A
dedicated process group provides three important functions: they continually monitor, test and incorporate
new approaches, techniques, tools and frameworks into GIP; they advise project teams, particularly during
the process-tailoring phase; and they monitor and audit projects to ensure compliance. New and innovative
ideas  and  approaches  are  broadly  shared  throughout  the  organization,  selectively  incorporated  into  GIP
and deployed through training. Clients also contribute to innovation and improvement as their ideas and
experiences are incorporated into our body of knowledge. We also seek regular informal and formal client
feedback.  Our  global  leadership  and  executive  team  regularly  interact  with  client  leadership  and  each
client is typically given a formal feedback survey on a quarterly basis. Client feedback is qualitatively and
quantitatively  analyzed  and  forms  an  important  component  of  our  teams’  performance  assessments  and
our  continual improvement plans.

Platforming  approach. We  apply  our  innovative  platforming  approach  across  our  business  and  IT
consulting,  technology  implementation  and  application  outsourcing  services  to  rationalize  IT  application
portfolios  and  reduce  costs,  increase  productivity  and  improve  the  efficiency  and  effectiveness  of  our
clients’  IT  application  environments.  As  part  of  our  platforming  approach,  we  assess  our  clients’
application environments to identify common elements, such as business processes and rules, technology
frameworks and data. We incorporate those common elements into one or more application platforms that
can be leveraged across the enterprise to build, enhance and maintain existing and future applications in a
leaner  environment.  Our  platforming  approach  enables  our  clients  to  continually  improve  their  software
platforms  and  applications  in  response  to  changing  business  needs  and  evolving  technologies  while  also
realizing long-term and ongoing cost  savings.

Our  platforming  approach  is  embodied  in  a  set  of  proprietary  processes,  tools  and  frameworks  that
address  the  fundamental  challenges  confronting  IT  executives.  These  challenges  include  managing  the
rising  costs  of  technology  ownership,  while  simultaneously  supporting  business  demands  to  foster
innovation,  accelerate  time-to-market,  improve  service  and  enhance  productivity.  Our  platforming
approach  draws  from  analogs  in  industries  that  standardize  on  platforms  composed  of  common
components  and  assemblies  used  across  multiple  product  lines.  Similarly,  we  work  with  our  clients  to
evolve  their  diverse  software  assets  into  unified,  rationalized  software  platforms.  Our  platforming
approach  leads  to  simplified  and  standardized  software  components  and  assemblies  that  work  together
harmoniously and readily adapt to support new business applications. For example, a software platform for
trading, once developed within an investment bank, can be the foundation for the bank’s diverse trading

12

applications in equities, bonds and currencies. Our platforming approach stands in contrast to traditional
enterprise  application  development  projects,  where  different  applications  remain  separate  and  isolated
from each other, replicating business logic,  technology frameworks and  enterprise data.

At the center of our platforming approach is a five-level maturity framework that allows us to adapt
our  service  offerings  to  meet  our  clients’  unique  needs.  Level  1  maturity  in  our  platforming  approach
represents traditional applications where every line of code is embedded and unique to the application and
every application is monolithic. Level 2 applications are less monolithic and more flexible and demonstrate
characteristics such as configurability and customizability. Level 3 applications are advanced applications
where the common code components and software assets are leveraged across multiple application families
and product lines. Level 4 applications are framework-driven where the core business logic is reused with
appropriate custom logic built around it. At the highest level of maturity are Level 5 applications, where
platforms  are  greatly  leveraged  to  simplify  and  accelerate  application  development  and  maintenance.  At
lower levels of maturity, few assets are created and reused. Consequently, agility, total cost of ownership
and ability to quickly meet business needs are suboptimal. As organizations mature along this continuum,
from  Level  1  to  Level  5,  substantial  intellectual  property  is  created  and  embodied  in  software  platforms
that  enable  steady  gains  in  agility,  reduce  overall  cost  of  ownership  and  accelerate  time-to-market  for
business applications and services.

Our  platforming  approach  improves  software  quality  and  IT  productivity.  Software  assets  within
platforms are reused across applications, their robustness and quality improve with time and our clients are
able to develop software with fewer defects. A library of ready-made building blocks significantly enhances
productivity and reduces software development risks compared to traditional methods. This establishes a
cycle  of  continual  improvement  in  that  the  more  an  enterprise  embraces  platform-based  solutions,  the
better the quality of its applications will be, and the less the effort required to build, enhance and maintain
them.

industry  and  domain  expertise  we  have  developed  over  the  past  decade  has  helped  us  develop  business
solutions  like  claims  management  and  policy  administration  solutions  for  insurance  companies;  client
lifecycle management, know your customer, and regulatory and compliance solutions for banks; member
reach  and  care  management  solutions  for  healthcare  providers;  billing  solutions  for  telecommunication
providers; and customer experience management solutions for  leisure and hospitality  businesses.

Sales and marketing

Our global sales, marketing and business development teams seek to develop strong relationships with
IT and business executives at prospective and existing clients to establish long-term business relationships
that  continue  to  grow  in  size  and  strategic  value.  At  March  31,  2018  and  2017,  we  had  314  and  298
marketing  and  business  development  full  time  equivalents,  respectively,  including  sales  managers,  sales
representatives,  client  service  partners,  account  managers,  telemarketers,  sales  support  personnel  and
marketing professionals.

The  sales  cycle  for  our  services  often  includes  initiating  contact  with  a  prospective  client,
understanding  the  prospective  client’s  business  challenges  and  opportunities,  performing  discovery  or
assessment  activities,  submitting  proposals,  providing  client  case  studies  and  references  and  developing
proofs-of-concept  or  solution  prototypes.  We  organize  our  sales  teams  in  strategic  business  units  by
geography  and  with  professionals  who  have  specialized  industry  knowledge.  This  industry  focus  enables
our  sales  teams  to  better  understand  the  prospective  client’s  business  and  technology  needs  and  to  offer
appropriate industry-focused solutions.

Sales  and  sales  support. Our  sales  and  sales  support  teams  focus  primarily  on  identifying,  targeting
and building relationships with prospective clients. These teams are supported in their efforts by industry
specialists,  technology  consultants  and  solution  architects,  who  work  together  to  design  client-specific
solution proposals. Our sales and sales support teams are based in offices throughout the United States,
Europe and Asia.

15

Account  management. We  assign  experienced  account  managers  who  build  and  regularly  update
detailed account development plans for each of our clients. These managers are responsible for developing
strong  working  relationships  across  the  client  organization,  working  day-to-day  with  the  client  and  our
service  delivery  teams  to  understand  and  address  the  client’s  needs.  Our  account  managers  work  closely
with  our  clients  to  develop  a  detailed  understanding  of  their  business  objectives  and  technology
environments. We use this knowledge to identify and target additional consulting engagements and other
outsourcing opportunities.

Marketing. We  maintain  a  marketing  presence  in  the  United  States,  Europe  (including  the  United
Kingdom),  India,  and  Sri  Lanka.  Our  marketing  team  seeks  to  build  our  brand  awareness  and  generate
target lists and sales leads through industry events, press releases, thought leadership publications, direct
marketing  campaigns  and  referrals  from  clients,  strategic  alliances  and  industry  analysts.  The  marketing
team  maintains  frequent  contact  with  industry  analysts  and  experts  to  understand  market  trends  and
dynamics.

Strategic alliances. We have strategic alliances with software companies, some of which are also our
clients,  to  provide  services  to  their  customers.  We  believe  these  alliances  differentiate  us  from  our
competition.  Our  extensive  engineering,  quality  assurance  and  technology  implementation  and  support
services to software companies enable us to compete more effectively for the technology implementation
and  support  services  required  by  their  customers.  In  addition,  our  strategic  alliances  with  software
companies  allow  us  to  share  sales  leads,  develop  joint  account  plans  and  engage  in  joint  marketing
activities.

Clients and industry expertise

We market and provide our services to companies in North America, Europe and Asia. For additional
discussion regarding geographic information, see note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this Annual Report. A majority of our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was
generated  from  Forbes  Global  2000  firms  or  their  subsidiaries.  We  believe  that  our  regular,  direct
interaction  with  senior  executives  at  these  clients,  the  breadth  of  our  client  relationships  and  our
reputation within these clients as a thought leader differentiate us from our competitors. The strength of
our  relationships  has  resulted  in  significant  recurring  revenue  from  existing  clients.  For  instance,  our
largest client for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, Citi, accounted for 19% of our total revenue, and
for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, accounted for 17% and  3%, respectively.

We focus primarily on three industries: C&T, BFSI and M&I. We build expertise in these industries
through our customer experience and industry alliances by hiring industry specialists and by training our
business analysts and other team members in industry-specific topics. Drawing on this expertise, we strive
to develop industry-specific perspectives  and services.

Communications  and  technology. For  our  communications  clients,  we  focus  on  customer  service,
sales  and  billing  functions,  and  regulatory  compliance,  helping  them  improve  service  levels,  reduce
time-to-market and modernize their IT environments. For our technology clients, which include hardware
manufacturers  and  software  companies,  we  provide  a  wide  range  of  industry-specific  service  offerings,
including product management services, product architecture, engineering and quality assurance services,
and professional services to support product implementation and integration. These clients often employ
cutting-edge  technology  and  generally  require  strong  technical  skills  and  a  deep  understanding  of  the
software product lifecycle.

Banking, financial services and insurance. We provide services to clients in the retail, wholesale and
investment  banking  areas;  financial  transaction  processors;  and  insurance  companies  encompassing  life,
property  and  casualty  and  health  insurance.  For  our  BFSI  clients,  we  have  developed  industry  specific
services for each of these sectors, such as an account opening framework for banks, compliance services for

16

financial institutions, and customer self-service solutions for insurance companies. The need to rationalize
and  consolidate  legacy  applications  is  pervasive  across  these  industries  and  we  have  tailored  our
platforming approach to address these challenges.

Media  and  information. We  focus  primarily  on  solutions  involving  electronic  publishing,  online
learning,  content  management, 
information  workflow  and  mobile  content  delivery  as  well  as
personalization,  search  technology  and  digital  rights  management.  Many  M&I  providers  are  focused  on
building  common  platforms  that  provide  customized  content  from  multiple  sources,  customized  and
delivered to many consumers using numerous delivery mechanisms. We believe our platforming approach
is ideally suited to these opportunities.

Competition

The  IT  services  market  in  which  we  operate  is  highly  competitive,  rapidly  evolving  and  subject  to
shifting client needs and expectations. This market includes a large number of participants from a variety
of market segments, including:

(cid:129) offshore  IT  outsourcing  firms,  such  as  Cognizant  Technology  Solutions  Corporation,  HCL
Technologies  Limited,  Infosys  Technologies  Limited,  Capgemini  Service  SAS,  Tata  Consultancy
Services Limited, Tech Mahindra Limited and Wipro  Limited

(cid:129) consulting  and  systems  integration  firms,  such  as  Accenture  PLC.,  Capgemini  Service  SAS,

Computer Sciences Corporation, Deloitte  Consulting LLP and IBM  Global Services

We  also  occasionally  compete  with  in-house  IT  departments,  smaller  vertically-focused  IT  service
providers and local IT service providers based in the geographic areas where we compete. For instance on
the millennial enablement side, we often compete with established digital services firms like SapientNitro
or EPAM systems, as well as smaller vendors that compete on the basis of local presence, pricing and niche
solutions/capabilities.

We  expect  additional  competition  from  offshore  IT  outsourcing  firms  in  emerging  locations  such  as
Eastern  Europe,  Latin  America  and  China,  offshore  IT  service  providers  with  facilities  in  less  expensive
geographies  within  India  and  lower  cost,  near  shore  centers  established  by  our  competitors  to  provide
accelerated staffing alternatives at competitive pricing.

We  believe  that  the  principal  competitive  factors  in  our  business  include  technical  expertise  and
industry  knowledge,  a  breadth  of  service  offerings  to  provide  one-stop  solutions  to  clients,  a
well-developed  recruiting,  training  and  retention  model,  responsiveness  to  clients’  business  needs,  and
quality  of  services.  We  believe  that  we  compete  favorably  with  respect  to  these  factors.  Many  of  our
competitors, however, have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and a greater
number of IT professionals than we do. We cannot assure you that we will continue to compete favorably
or that we will be  successful in the face  of  increasing competition.

Human resources

We  thrive  to  bring  ‘‘human’’  to  all  our  ‘‘resources.’’  We  achieve  this  through  cultivating  a  culture  of
empowering  our  team  members  at  all  levels  and  equipping  them  to  nurture  the  teams  below  them.  Our
success lies in our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly-skilled and multi-dimensional team
members.  We  are  able  to  accomplish  this  by  focusing  our  people  management  strategy  on  six  key
components: recruiting, performance management, training and development, employee engagement and
communication,  compensation  and  retention.  Our  people  management  strategy  also  includes  engaging
subcontractors at all of our locations, especially in niche or hard to hire skills, on an as needed basis for
specific  client engagements.

17

Recruiting. To satisfy our clients needs, we need to ensure that we hire the best in market. Our global
recruiting  and  hiring  process  addresses  our  need  for  a  large  number  of  highly-skilled,  talented  team
members via a rigorous and efficient interview process involving technical, industry and analytics screening.

In  2017  we  won  Candidate  Experience  Awards  for  delivering  outstanding  experiences  to  candidates

throughout the recruitment process in  geographies  like North American (NA) and APAC.

Over the years our campus hiring program has become very robust both in India and Sri Lanka. We
started with an initiative called COE (Centre of Excellence) where we partner with colleges to develop IT
curriculum,  and  support  and  train  their  faculty  and  award  sponsorships.  Our  COE  initiative  in  India
commenced  in  the  year  2014  and  has  grown  from  five  colleges  to  sixteen  colleges  during  our  2018  fiscal
year. We have established eighteen COEs in sixteen colleges spread across the country. These COEs focus
on  current  and  futuristic  skills  like  Java,  data  science,  big  data,  Talend,  cloud,  CRM,  specialized  testing,
BPM,  front  end  engineering  and  Adobe  CQ.  This  has  resulted  in  a  reduction  of  in-house  training  days
post-hiring.  These  programs  have  helped  us  in  improving  the  quality  of  hires,  and  ensuring  our  team
members are project-ready faster.

Performance management.

In our 2018 fiscal year, we took a step to move away from the traditional
way  of  measuring  employee  performance  and  adopted  a  new  platform  called  REPS  (Real-time
Engagement and Performance Score) for 40% for our team members. REPS is developed internally by our
team and captures most of the performance areas on a real-time basis. The platform focuses on the need
of having a transparent and gamified performance system for the millennial workforce. The platform also
captures the engagement level of our team members, not just by measuring them on 4-5 key performance
areas,  but  also  on  how  they  contribute  to  their  self-development,  teamwork  and  impact  on  the  overall
organization  and  its  initiatives.  Real-time  performance  data  is  visible  to  everyone,  which  enables  a
continuous feedback mechanism, which fosters trust, and empowers employees to be accountable for their
performance  in  real  time  and  not  semi-annually  as  in  the  earlier  framework.  We  have  a  roadmap  for
scaling up for larger population in the coming years. We won the Silver International Stevie Award for HR
Department of the Year for innovation  in  employee empowerment.

Training  and  development. While  we  focus  on  hiring  the  best  talent,  our  bigger  focus  is  on
development and reskilling our team members so that they remain relevant from a technology standpoint.
We  also  focus  on  social  learning  through  digital  platforms  wherein  team  members  can  collaborate  and
mentor each other to develop in technical field and behavioral space. We were able to deliver an average of
43.9  hours  of  training  to  our  team  members,  resulting  in  higher  deployment  and  higher  retention  as
compared to the previous year. Virtusa has been recognized by ATD (Association for Talent Development)
for the successful implementation of our Employee Learning week that we conducted in December 2017.

Employee engagement and communication. We strongly believe that open communication is essential
to  our  team-oriented  culture.  Through  regular  company-wide  updates  from  senior  management,
complemented by team member sessions at the regional, local and account levels, as well as regular town
hall sessions, we ensure that we engage and interact with all our employees to optimize individual career
paths while fostering a team culture. We use a digital platform called RAVE for acknowledging each other
on a real-time basis on good work performed by our team members. We also use the platform to promote
the pursuit of excellence, integrity, respect and leadership (PIRL) which  are our core values. Yammer  is
another social digital business platform that we widely use to interact and share ideas and information with
your  colleagues.  This  strengthens  collaboration  and  facilitates  knowledge  sharing,  while  driving
transparency. We have been certified as one of UK’s Top Employers for the 7th consecutive year, providing
excellent  employee  conditions,  nurturing  talent,  and  striving  to  continuously  improve  employment
practices.

Compensation. The best team members demand best remuneration. We consistently benchmark our
compensation and benefits with relevant market data and make adjustments based on market trends and
individual  performance.  Our  compensation  philosophy  rewards  performance  by  linking  both  variable
compensation and salary increases to performance.

18

Retention. To  attract,  retain  and  motivate  our  team  members,  we  seek  to  provide  an  environment
that rewards entrepreneurial initiatives, adaptive leadership and performance. During the twelve months
ended March 31, 2018, we experienced voluntary team member attrition at a rate of 11.8% and involuntary
team  member  attrition  at  a  rate  of  7%,  which  includes  3.4%  related  to  implementation  of  certain  cost
saving  and  restructuring  initiatives.  We  remain  committed  to  improving  and  sustaining  our  voluntary
attrition levels consistent with our long-term  stated goals.

We  define  attrition  as  the  ratio  of  the  number  of  team  members  who  have  left  us  during  a  defined
period to the total number of team members that were on our payroll at the end of the period. Our human
resources  team,  along  with  the  business  units,  have  been  able  to  successfully  bring  down  the  voluntary
attrition percentage from 14.5% in fiscal year 2017 to 11.8% in fiscal year 2018. We ensure retention of the
right talent in the organization through  various  initiatives  like:

(cid:129) providing re-skilling and development opportunities to our  team members

(cid:129) sharing clear career paths with the team members and doing timely rotations so that team members

get better exposure

(cid:129) providing team members opportunities to interact with our clients in their transformational journey

(cid:129) creating a transparent performance management system where team members can see each other’s

achievements through leader boards, thus  inducing a competitive  yet  healthy work  culture

(cid:129) providing digital tools to ensure that team members are able to share their views cutting across all

levels of the organization on a non-moderated platform

(cid:129) ensuring that team members own their performance by focusing on self-development, knowing how
to  contribute  to  the  team,  and  being  aware  of  how  they  can  make  an  impact  on  the  overall
organization

(cid:129) adopting a system to manage our people-related transactions in a more efficient way based mainly
on self-service modules, hence empowering our leaders and their team members to take faster and
informed decisions related to people  matters

At March 31, 2018, we had 20,491 team members worldwide. We also engage outside contractors from
time to time to supplement our services on an as needed basis. None of our team members are covered by
a  collective  bargaining  agreement  or  represented  by  a  labor  union.  We  consider  our  relations  with  our
team members to be good.

Network and infrastructure

Our  global  IT  infrastructure  is  designed  to  provide  uninterrupted  service  to  our  clients.  Through  a
combination of targeted investments and a strong understanding of the emerging cybersecurity trends, we
currently have a mature capability that can support any specific security and compliance requirements that
our clients may have, in addition to the industry best-in-class safeguards that we already use to protect the
client’s network and infrastructure.

We use a secure, high-performance communications network to enable our clients’ systems to connect
seamlessly to each of our offshore global delivery centers. We provide flexibility for our clients to operate
their  engagements  from  any  of  our  offshore  global  delivery  centers  by  using  mainstream  network
topologies,  including  site-to-site  virtual  private  networks,  international  private  leased  circuits  and
multiprotocol  label  switching.  We  also  provide  videoconferencing,  voice  conferencing  and  Voice  over
Internet  Protocol  capabilities  to  our  global  delivery  teams  and  clients  to  enable  clear  and  uninterrupted
communication in our engagements, be it  intra-company or with our clients.

We  monitor  our  network  performance  on  a  24(cid:4)7  basis  to  ensure  high  levels  of  network  availability
and  periodically  upgrade  our  network  to  enhance  and  optimize  network  efficiency  across  all  operating

19

locations.  We  use  leased  telecommunication  lines  to  provide  redundant  data  and  voice  communication
with our clients’ facilities and among all of our facilities in Asia, the United States and Europe. We also
maintain multiple sites across our global delivery centers in Asia, particularly our largest centers in India
and  Sri  Lanka,  and  the  United  States  back-up  centers  to  provide  for  continuity  of  infrastructure  and
resources in the case of natural disasters  or  other  events that may cause a  business  interruption.

Our  network  infrastructure  and  access  is  secured  using  two  factor  authentication,  mobile  data
management,  data  leakage  prevention,  advanced  malware  protection  and  periodically  subjected  external
vulnerability audits. We are ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 certified in all our major Asia centers to safeguard
clients’  and  Virtusa’s  own  information  assets,  and  believe  that  we  meet  all  our  clients’  stringent  security
requirements for ongoing business with  them.

Intellectual property

We believe that our continued success depends in part on the skills of our team members, the ability
of  our  team  members  to  continue  to  innovate  and  our  intellectual  property  rights.  We  rely  on  a
combination of patent, copyright, trademark and design laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and
contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary methodologies. It is our
policy  to  enter  into  confidentiality  agreements  with  our  team  members  and  consultants  that  generally
provide  that  any  confidential  or  proprietary  information  developed  by  us  or  on  our  behalf  be  kept
confidential.  We  have  also  designed  procedures  to  generally  control  access  to  and  distribution  of  our
proprietary information. We pursue the registration of certain of our trademarks and service marks in the
United  States  and  other  countries.  We  have  registered  the  mark  ‘‘Virtusa’’  in  the  United  States,  the
European  Community  and  India  and  have  filed  for  registration  of  ‘‘Virtusa’’  in  Sri  Lanka.  We  have
registered  in  the  United  States  the  service  marks  ‘‘BPM  Test  Drive’’  which  we  use  to  describe  our
consulting  service  offering  involving  business  process  management  or  BPM  project  implementation  and
‘‘ACCELERATING BUSINESS OUTCOMES,’’ which we use to describe the benefits of our services. We
have no issued patents.

Our  business  involves  the  development  of  IT  applications  and  other  technology  deliverables  for  our
clients. Our clients usually own the intellectual property in the software applications that we develop for
them.  We  generally  implement  safeguards  designed  to  protect  our  clients’  intellectual  property  in
accordance with their needs and specifications. Our means of protecting our and our clients’ proprietary
rights,  however,  may  not  be  adequate.  Despite  our  efforts,  we  may  be  unable  to  prevent  or  deter
infringement  or  other  unauthorized  use  of  our  and  our  clients’  intellectual  property.  Legal  protections
afford only limited protection for intellectual property rights and the laws of India and Sri Lanka do not
protect  intellectual  property  rights  to  the  same  extent  as  those  of  the  United  States  and  the  United
Kingdom.  Time-consuming  and  expensive  litigation  may  be  necessary  in  the  future  to  enforce  these
intellectual property rights.

In  addition,  we  cannot  assure  you  that  our  intellectual  property  or  the  intellectual  property  that  we
develop  for  our  clients  does  not  or  will  not  infringe  the  intellectual  property  rights  of  others.  Defending
against  such  claims,  even  if  they  are  not  meritorious,  could  be  expensive  and  divert  our  attention  from
operating our company. If we become liable to third parties for infringing upon their intellectual property
rights,  we  could  be  required  to  indemnify  our  client(s),  pay  substantial  damage  awards  and  be  forced  to
develop  non-infringing  technology,  obtain  licenses,  or  cease  delivery  of  the  applications  that  contain  the
infringing technology.

Virtusa Sustainability Program

During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, we continued to strengthen our sustainability program.
The goal of our sustainability program is to help reduce our environmental footprint, with ethical maturity,
respect and dignity to all. Our sustainability program is an extension of our core corporate values of PIRL.
We  believe  in  doing  more,  and  better,  with  less  to  help  reduce  the  environmental  footprint  of  our
operations.

Our sustainability program is backed by relevant certification, policies and employee training for the
core  areas.  During  our  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  obtained  ISO  14001  and  OHSAS  18001
certification  for  heritage  Polaris  Consulting  technology  centers  in  India.  Under  our  Social  Responsibility
Program and related policies, we prohibit the use of forced labor, slavery or human trafficking and comply
with all  aspects of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (UK)..

Engagement,  transparency  and  reporting  enable  us  to  continuously  improve  our  sustainability
program. While we have been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) since 2008, in
2017 we chose to strengthen our commitment by selecting the participant engagement level. We have also
been  responding  to  the  Carbon  Disclosure  Project  (CDP)  Supply  Chain  program  since  2011  and  the
Climate Change program since 2016. Our 2017 performance band was ‘‘B’’ and we received a ‘‘B’’ for the
Supplier Engagement Rating. Our CDP response can be accessed  at:
https://www.cdp.net/en/responses/20186.  Our  Communication  on  Progress  (COP)  to  the  UNGC  can  be
accessed at: https://www.unglobalcompact.org/participation/report/cop/create-and-submit/active/392881.

With regards to corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, we focus on strategic projects where
we can provide long term value. CSR projects are administered under three pillars: Campus Reach, Tech
Reach and Digital Reach.

Campus Reach—Our Campus Reach initiative is an industry-academia partnership designed to support
the next generation of IT professionals to be workforce ready and thereby contribute to the growth of the
IT/BPO  industry.  Campus  Reach  includes  support  on  curriculum  development,  an  internship  program,
mentoring for final year projects and Academic Excellence Awards.

Tech  Reach—Through  Tech  Reach,  we  use  our  software  development  and  consulting  expertise  to

contribute to projects of social benefit. Details of  current Tech Reach projects are given  below:

(cid:129) Sahana:  80+  employees  built  the  coordination  portal  for  the  Government  of  Sri  Lanka  (CNO)
within  two  weeks  of  the  2004  tsunami.  ‘‘Sahana’’  has  since  been  donated  for  public  good  and  has
been  used  around  the  world,  including  in  the  United  States,  Japan,  Pakistan  and  Philippines  for
disaster management.

(cid:129) `Akura: The ‘‘`Akura’’ open source school management system was developed to help schools manage

their administrative tasks more efficiently.

(cid:129) Rehabilitation  Management  System  (RMS):  RMS  was  developed  as  a  solution  to  expedite  the
re-integration  of  war  rehabilitees  in  Sri  Lanka  and  manage  their  vocational  training  needs.  The
software was a nominee at Computerworld Honors Program Laureate in 2011 and was selected as a
case  study  by  the  UN  Global  Compact  for  its  Responsible  Business  Advancing  Peace  program  in
2013.

(cid:129) Clean Chennai Mobile App: Our employees created a scalable application for the Clean Chennai
initiative,  which  aims  to  manage  waste  in  a  sustainable  manner  and  create  public  awareness  to
reduce  litter.  The  application  was  developed  in  collaboration  with  the  SWM  and  EDP  team  of
Corporation of Chennai.

(cid:129) 117  App:  We  developed  an  online  solution  for  the  Disaster  Management  Center  (DMC)  of  Sri
Lanka to facilitate better tracking and responsiveness to aid requests in the aftermath of the 2016
floods. Overall, more than 73,000 people were supported through the  app.

Digital  Reach—Through  Digital  Reach,  we  aim  to  create  a  digitally  inclusive  society  by  IT-enabling
communities.  We  helped  set  up  a  Digital  Learning  Center  (DLC)  for  war  rehabilitees  in  Sri  Lanka,  and
also set up over 70 IT labs in rural schools.

In  India,  we  carried  out  the  following  corporate  social  responsibility  activities  during  our  fiscal  year

ended March 31, 2018:

(cid:129) Virtusa  sponsored  the  ‘‘Carbon  Zero—Renewable  Energy  Innovation  Challenge’’  hosted  by  the
Indian  Institute  of  Technology  Madras  (IIT  Madras)  jointly  with  IWMA  (Industrial  Waste
Management  Association),  in  collaboration  with  the  U.S.  Consulate  General,  Chennai.  ‘‘Carbon
Zero Challenge’’ aimed to accelerate innovations that address climate change and help achieve the
larger goal of fostering a sustainable ecosystem.

(cid:129) Support  for  Computer  Shiksha,  a  nonprofit  organization  that  works  towards  computer  literacy
among  underprivileged  children.  The  goal  of  Computer  Shiksha  is  to  reach  a  million  children  by
2020. Training is done through practical classroom  learning as well as online videos.

(cid:129) Virtusa  extended  support  for  Ullas  Trust,  which  was  started  in  1997  by  Polaris  Consulting  to
recognize  academic  excellence  in  students  from  economically  challenged  areas  and  focuses  on
students from Class (Grade) 9 to 12. Over the two decades, Ullas has awarded merit scholarships to
more than 52,000 students. In addition, the SUMMIT weekend enrichment programs provide five
interventions of three hours each per year over the four year period of the child’s association with
Ullas.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We  operate  in  a  rapidly  changing  environment  that  involves  a  number  of  risks,  some  of  which  are
beyond our control. This discussion highlights some of the risks which may affect future operating results.
These  are  the  risks  and  uncertainties  we  believe  are  most  important  for  you  to  consider.  Our  operating
results and financial condition have varied in the past and may vary significantly in the future depending on
a number of factors. We cannot be certain that we will successfully address these risks. If we are unable to
address these risks, our business may not grow, our stock price may suffer and/or we may be unable to stay
in  business.  Additional  risks  and  uncertainties  not  presently  known  to  us,  which  we  currently  deem
immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general,
may also impair our business operations.

Except for the historical information in this Annual Report, various matters contained in this Annual
Report  include  forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties.  The  following  factors,
among  others,  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  those  contained  in  forward-looking
statements made in this Annual Report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such
factors,  among  others,  may  have  a  material  adverse  effect  upon  our  business,  results  of  operations  and
financial condition. You should consider carefully the following risk factors, together with all of the other
information included in this Annual Report. Each of these risk factors could adversely affect our business,
operating  results  and  financial  condition,  as  well  as  adversely  affect  the  value  of  an  investment  in  our
common stock.

Risks relating to our business

Our revenue is highly dependent on a small number of clients, and the loss of, or material reduction in, revenue from
any one of our major clients could significantly harm our results  of operations and financial condition.

We have historically earned, and believe that over the next few fiscal years we will continue to earn, a
significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of clients. For our fiscal years ended March 31,
2018  and  2017,  our  top  three  clients  collectively  generated  approximately  31%  and  27%  of  our  revenue,
respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, Citi accounted for 19% of our total revenue. The
loss  of,  or  material  reduction  in  revenue  from  any  one  of  our  major  clients  could  materially  reduce  our
total  revenue,  harm  our  reputation  in  the  industry  and/or  reduce  our  ability  to  accurately  predict  our
revenue,  net  income  and  cash  flow.  The  loss  of,  or  material  reduction  in  revenue  from  any  one  of  our
major clients could also adversely affect our gross profit and utilization as we seek to redeploy resources
that  client.  Generally,  our  clients  retain  us  on  a  non-exclusive,
previously  dedicated 
engagement-by-engagement  basis,  rather  than  under  exclusive  long-term  contracts  and  may  typically
terminate or reduce our engagements without termination related penalties. Accordingly, we cannot assure
you  that  revenue  from  our  major  clients  will  not  be  significantly  reduced  in  the  future,  including  from
factors unrelated to our performance or work product such as consolidation by or among our clients, or the
acquisition of a client or cost savings initiatives of our clients which may result in immediate lower external
spend  by  our  clients.  Further,  the  loss  of,  or  material  reduction  in,  revenue  from  any  one  of  our  major
clients has required us, and could in the future require us, to increase involuntary attrition. This could have
a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  attrition  rate  and  make  it  more  difficult  for  us  to  attract  and  retain  IT
professionals in the future.

to 

We  may  not  be  able  to  maintain  our  client  relationships  with  our  major  clients  on  existing  or  on
continued  favorable  terms  and  our  clients  may  not  renew  their  agreements  with  us,  in  which  case  our
business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  would  be  adversely  affected.  Our  client
concentration  may  also  subject  us  to  perceived  or  actual  leverage  that  our  clients  may  have,  given  their
relative size and importance to us. If our clients seek to negotiate their agreements on terms less favorable
to us and we accept such unfavorable terms, such unfavorable terms may have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, unless and until we diversify and

24

expand our client base, our future success will significantly depend upon the timing and volume of business
from our largest clients and the financial and operational success of these clients. If we were to lose one of
our  major  clients  or  have  a  major  client  cancel  substantial  projects  or  otherwise  significantly  reduce  its
volume of business with us, our revenue and profitability would be materially reduced and our business and
operating results would be seriously harmed.

We depend on clients concentrated in specific industries, such as BFSI, and with the Polaris acquisition, our BFS
client  concentration  increased  materially;  we  are  therefore  subject  to  enhanced  risks  relating  to  developments
affecting these clients and industries that  may  cause them to reduce or postpone their  IT spending.

In  our  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  derived  substantially  all  of  our  revenue  from  clients  in
three  industries:  BFSI,  C&T,  and  M&I.  During  our  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  earned
approximately 67% of our revenue from clients in the BFSI industries and our revenue from this industry
vertical  grew  by  approximately  25%  from  the  prior  fiscal  year.  Due  to  the  Polaris  acquisition,  we  have
increased  our  industry  concentration,  most  particularly  in  BFS.  If  any  decline  in  the  growth  of  the  BFSI
industries  or  large  clients  in  such  industries,  particularly  in  the  BFS  or  insurance  industry,  occurs,  or  if
there  is  a  significant  consolidation  in  these  industries  or  a  decrease  in  growth  or  consolidation  in  other
industry  verticals  on  which  we  focus  or  impact  of  large  clients  in  such  industries,  such  events  could
materially  reduce  the  demand  for  our  services  and  negatively  affect  our  revenue  and  profitability.  If
economic  conditions  weaken  or  slow,  particularly  in  the  industries  in  which  we  focus,  our  clients  may
significantly reduce or postpone their IT spending. Reductions in IT budgets, increased consolidation, or
increased competition in these industries could result in an erosion of our client base and a reduction in
our  target  market.  Any  reductions  in  the  IT  spending  of  companies  in  any  one  of  these  industries  may
reduce the demand for our services and negatively affect  our revenue and profitability.

Restrictions on immigration may affect our ability to compete for and provide services to clients in the United States,
Europe  (particularly,  the  United  Kingdom),  or  other  countries,  which  could  result  in  lost  revenue,  lower  gross
margins, delays in or losses of client engagements and otherwise adversely affect our ability to meet our growth,
revenue and profit projections.

The  vast  majority  of  our  team  members  are  Indian  and  Sri  Lankan  nationals.  The  ability  of  our  IT
professionals to work in the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries depends on our ability
to  obtain  the  necessary  visas  and  entry  permits,  including  the  H-1(B)  visa.  The  Government  conducts  a
random lottery to determine which H-1(B) applications will be adjudicated that year. Increasing demand
for H-1(B) visas, or changes in how the annual limit is administered, could limit the company’s ability to
access those visas. In recent years, the United States has increased the level of scrutiny in granting H-1(B),
L-1  and  other  business  visas.  The  H-1(B)  visa  classification  enables  U.S.  employers  to  hire  qualified
foreign workers in positions that require an education at least equal to a four-year bachelor degree in the
United  States  in  specialty  occupations  such  as  IT  systems  engineering  and  systems  analysis.  The  H-1(B)
visa  usually  permits  an  individual  to  work  and  live  in  the  United  States  for  a  period  of  up  to  six  years.
Under certain circumstances, H-1(B) visa extensions after the six-year period may be available. H-1(B) visa
holders are required to be paid the higher of the actual wage or the prevailing wage for their position at
the site of their employment.

In addition, there are strict labor regulations associated with the H-1(B) visa classification, including
disclosure,  attestations  and  document  retention.  Employers  who  are  H-1(B)  dependent  (i.e.  those  with
fifteen  percent  (15%)  or  more  of  their  workforce  on  H-1(B)  visas  are  potentially  subject  to  additional
disclosures, attestations and subject to specific affirmative recruitment requirements if the employees they
sponsor for H-1(B) visa do not qualify as ‘‘exempt’’ employees. An exempt employee is one who is either
(a) paid an annual salary of at least $60,000 or b) one who holds a masters or higher degree in a specialty
occupation  related  to  their  employment.  In  September  2014,  we  became  an  ‘‘H-1(B)  Dependent
Employer.’’  To  avoid  being  subject  to  additional  attestations,  disclosures,  and  affirmative  recruitment

25

requirements, we do not sponsor employees for H-1(B) visas who make less than $60,000 per year. As a
‘‘H-1(B) Dependent Employer’’ our petitions are subject to greater scrutiny at the time of adjudication. All
users  of  the  H-1(B)  program  are  subject  to  periodic  site  visits  from  the  United  States  Citizenship  and
Immigration  Services,  or  USCIS,  to  verify  their  compliance  with  immigration  and  Labor  Regulations.  In
addition, the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor may also conduct H-1(B)
audits to verify compliance with labor regulations. A finding by the United States Department of Labor of
willful  or  substantial  failure  by  us  to  comply  with  existing  regulations  on  the  H-1(B)  classification  may
result in back-pay liability, substantial fines, and/or a ban on future use of the H-1(B) program and other
immigration  benefits.  We  are  users  of  the  H-1(B)  visa  classification  with  respect  to  some  of  our  key
offshore workers who have relocated onsite to perform services for our clients. As a result of our H-1(B)
Dependent  Employer  status,  we  are  likely  subjected  to  more  site  visits  and  a  higher  level  of  scrutiny  by
USCIS and the US Department of Labor  than  Non-Dependent Employers.

We also regularly transfer employees from our global subsidiaries, primarily those from India and Sri
Lanka, to the United States to work on projects and at client sites using the L-1 visa classification. The L-1
visa  allows  companies  abroad  to  transfer  certain  managers,  executives  and  employees  with  specialized
company  knowledge  to  related  United  States  companies  such  as  a  parent,  subsidiary,  affiliate,  joint
venture,  or  branch  office.  We  have  an  approved  ‘‘Blanket  L  Program,’’  under  which  the  corporate
relationships  of  our  transferring  and  receiving  entities  have  been  pre-approved  by  the  USCIS,  thus
enabling individual L-1 visa applications to be presented directly to a visa-issuing United States consular
post  abroad  rather  than  undergoing  the  individual  petition  pre-approval  process  through  USCIS  in  the
United  States.  In  recent  years,  both  the  United  States  consular  posts  that  review  initial  L-1  applications
and  USCIS,  which  adjudicates  individual  petitions  for  initial  grants  and  extensions  of  L-1  status,  have
become  increasingly  restrictive  with  respect  to  their  interpretation  of  the  regulations  governing  this
category  and  all  applications  are  subject  to  increased  scrutiny.  As  a  result,  the  rate  of  refusals  of  both
individual  and  blanket  L-1  petitions  and  of  extensions  has  materially  increased.  In  addition,  even  where
L-1 visas are ultimately granted and issued, security measures undertaken by United States consular posts
around  the  world  have  substantially  delayed  visa  issuances  as  they  are  allowed  the  right  to  further
scrutinize the visa and request for additional supporting documentation. Any inability to bring, or delays in
bringing,  qualified  technical  personnel  into  the  United  States  to  staff  on-site  customer  locations  would
have a material adverse effect on our client engagements, our business, results of operations and financial
condition.  Due  to  these  immigration  delays,  we  may  also  be  required  to  hire  or  subcontract  resources
locally to  perform the work onsite, thus  negatively impacting our gross  margins and overall profitability.

Since 2010 US, immigration law has imposed enhanced filing fees on employers who are significantly
dependent  upon  H-1(B)  and  L-1  visa  holders.  An  employer  whose  overall  count  of  full-time  employee
equivalents consists of 50% or more of individuals holding H-1(B) or L-1 visas are subject to an enhanced
filing fee. That enhanced fee is $4,000 and $4,500 for each new H-1B or L-1 petition filed respectively. We
have  been  required  to  pay  these  enhanced  fees,  as  the  percentage  of  our  overall  US  based  workforce
holding  H-1(B)  and  L-1  visa  status  remains  above  the  50%  mark.  While  we  closely  monitor  the  visa
makeup of our workforce in an attempt to minimize our exposure to such enhanced fees and make efforts
to recoup these costs either directly from our clients or indirectly through our billing rates, these enhanced
fees  have  had  a  negative  impact  on  our  gross  profit  and  overall  cost  of  operations.  Further  growth  and
increased demand for our services will likely make it increasingly difficult for us to avoid the payment of
these fees, thus impacting our gross margins and  overall profitability.

We also process immigrant visas for lawful permanent residence (green cards) in the United States for
employees to fill positions for which there are an insufficient number of able, willing, and qualified United
States workers available to fill the positions. Compliance with existing United States immigration and labor
laws, or changes in those laws making it more difficult to hire foreign nationals or limiting our ability to
successfully obtain permanent residence for our foreign employees in the United States, could require us
to incur additional unexpected labor costs and expenses or could restrain our ability to retain the skilled

26

professionals we need for our operations in the United States. Any of these restrictions or limitations on
our  hiring  practices  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  results  of  operations  and
financial condition.

In  response  to  terrorist  attacks  and  global  unrest,  U.S.  and  U.K.  immigration  authorities,  as  well  as
other countries, have not only increased the level of scrutiny and conditions to granting visas, but have also
introduced new security procedures, which include extensive background checks, personal interviews and
the use of biometrics, as conditions to granting visas and work permits. A number of European countries
are  considering  changes  in  immigration  policies  as  well.  The  inability  of  key  project  personnel  to  obtain
necessary  visas  or  work  permits  could  delay  or  prevent  our  fulfillment  of  client  projects,  which  could
hamper  our  growth  and  cause  our  revenue  to  decline.  These  restrictions  and  additional  procedures  may
delay, or even prevent the issuance of a visa or work permit to our IT professionals and affect our ability to
staff projects in a timely manner. Any delays in staffing a project can result in project postponement, delays
or cancellation, which could result in lost revenue and decreased profitability and have a material adverse
effect on our business, revenue, profitability and utilization rates.

Immigration laws in countries in which we seek to obtain visas or work permits may require us to meet
certain other legal requirements as conditions to obtaining or maintaining entry visas. These immigration
laws are subject to legislative change and varying standards of application and enforcement due to political
forces, economic conditions or other events, including terrorist attacks.

To  the  extent  we  experience  delays  due  to  immigration  restrictions,  we  may  encounter  client
dissatisfaction, project and staffing delays in new and existing engagements, project cancellations, project
losses,  higher  project  costs  and  loss  of  revenue,  resulting  in  decreases  in  profits  and  a  material  adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Due to these immigration
delays, we may also need to perform more work onsite, or hire more resources locally, thus reducing our
gross  margins and overall profitability.

Changes in U.S. immigration law, if approved into law, may increase our cost of revenue and may substantially
restrict or eliminate our ability to obtain visas to use offshore resources onsite, which could have a material adverse
impact on our business, revenue, profitability and  utilization rates.

The issue of companies outsourcing services to organizations operating in other countries is a topic of
political discussion in many countries, including the United States, which is our largest market. The U.S.
Congress  has  been  actively  considering  various  proposals  that  would  make  extensive  changes  to  U.S.
immigration laws regarding the admission of high-skilled temporary and permanent workers. Further, the
current  U.S.  administration  or  Congress  may  seek  to  limit  the  admission  of  high-skilled  temporary  and
permanent  workers  and  has  issued  and  may  continue  to  issue  executive  orders  designed  to  limit
immigration.  Any  such  provisions  may  increase  our  cost  of  doing  business  in  the  United  States  and  may
discourage  customers  from  seeking  our  services.  Our  international  expansion  strategy  and  our  business,
results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected if changes in immigration
and  work  permit  laws  and  regulations  or  the  administration  or  enforcement  of  such  laws  or  regulations
impair our ability to staff projects with professionals who are not citizens of the country where the work is
to be performed

The potential risks and impact to our business if changes are made to immigration laws relating to use

of H-1(B) and L-1 visas are approved  could  include:

(cid:129) Reduced ability to bring in foreign  workers  on an L-1 or H-1(B) visa

(cid:129) Increased scrutiny and requests for proof of  eligibility on the use of L-1 and  H-1(B) visas

(cid:129) Higher costs, including wages and  benefits,  for  H-1(B) and L-1 visa holders

27

(cid:129) Elimination of the company’s ability to pay the living expenses of an L-1 visa holder on a tax-free

basis

(cid:129) Increased oversight by the Department of Labor (‘‘DOL’’) over issuance, use and administration of

L-1 visas, just as the DOL currently oversees  H-1(B) visas

Even if we are able to apply for, or obtain, such visas, we could incur substantial delays and costs in
processing  any  such  requests  and  our  costs  of  operations  could  materially  rise,  thus  materially  and
negatively impacting our gross margins and our statement of income. Any inability to obtain, or extended
delays  in  obtaining,  these  visas,  or  any  delays  or  inability  to  hire  resources  for  existing  or  future  client
projects could materially delay or prevent our commencement or fulfillment of client projects, which could
hamper our growth and cause our revenue to decline. In addition, we may have to hire or use local onsite
resources  at  substantially  higher  wage  levels,  rather  than  using  existing  offshore  resources  to  staff  onsite
engagements which would materially reduce our gross margins. Even if we use our offshore resources, we
may have to put offshore resources on U.S. payroll at U.S. prevailing wage levels and full benefits, rather
than the existing practice of being able to provide a per diem reimbursement to the offshore resource on a
tax-free basis to cover living expenses while onsite. Our costs of revenue could then substantially increase
and  our  gross  profit  and  our  gross  margins  could  then  be  materially  and  adversely  affected.  Any  such
delays or inability to staff needed resources on client engagements may cause client dissatisfaction, project
and staffing delays in new and existing engagements, project cancellations, higher project costs and loss of
revenue,  resulting  in  decreases  in  profits  and  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  results  of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The international nature of our business exposes us to many complex  risks, which may be beyond our control.

We  have  operations  in  the  United  States,  the  United  Kingdom,  the  Netherlands,  India,  Sri  Lanka,
Germany,  Singapore,  Austria,  Hungary,  Malaysia,  Switzerland  and  Sweden  and  we  serve  clients  across
North  America,  Europe  and  Asia,  and  with  the  Polaris  acquisition,  added  operations  in  Hong  Kong,
United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Japan, Australia and Canada. For the fiscal years ended March 31,
2018, 2017 and 2016, revenue generated outside of the United States accounted for 35%, 35% and 30% of
total  revenue,  respectively.  Our  corporate  structure  also  spans  multiple  jurisdictions,  with  Virtusa
Corporation  incorporated  in  Delaware  and  its  operating  subsidiaries  organized  in  India,  Sri  Lanka,  the
United  Kingdom,  Hungary,  Germany,  Singapore,  Austria,  Malaysia,  Sweden,  Switzerland  and  the
Netherlands,  as  well  as  Polaris  and  its  operating  subsidiaries  which  are  incorporated  in  Australia,  China,
the United Arab Emirates, Japan and Canada. As a result, our international revenue and operations are
exposed  to  risks  typically  associated  with  conducting  business  internationally,  many  of  which  are  beyond
our  control. These risks include:

(cid:129) negative  currency  fluctuations  between  the  U.S.  dollar  and  the  currencies  in  which  we  conduct
transactions, including most significantly, the U.K. pound sterling, the euro, the Indian rupee, the
Swedish Krona, the Singapore dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar (each in which
our foreign revenues are principally denominated) and the Indian and Sri Lankan rupees (in which
our  foreign costs are primarily denominated)

(cid:129) adverse income tax consequences resulting from foreign income tax examination, such as challenges
to our transfer pricing arrangements and challenges to our ability to claim tax holiday benefits in the
countries in which we operate

(cid:129) difficulties in staffing, managing and supporting operations  in multiple countries

(cid:129) potential fluctuation or decline in foreign economies

(cid:129) unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, including immigration restrictions, potential tariffs

and other trade barriers

28

(cid:129) legal  uncertainty  owing  to  the  overlap  of  different  legal  regimes  and  problems  in  asserting
contractual  or  other  rights  across  international  borders,  including  compliance  with  local  laws  of
which  we may be unaware

(cid:129) government currency control and restrictions on repatriation  of earnings

(cid:129) the burden and expense of complying with the laws and regulations  of various jurisdictions

(cid:129) domestic and international economic or political changes, hostilities, terrorist attacks and other acts

of violence or war

Negative developments in any of these areas in one or more countries could result in a reduction in
revenue  or  demand  for  our  services,  the  cancellation  or  delay  of  client  contracts,  business  interruption,
threats to our intellectual property, difficulty in collecting receivables and a higher cost of doing business,
including higher taxes, any of which could negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of
operations.

Changes in applicable tax regulations and resolutions of tax disputes could negatively affect our financial results.

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. On December 22, 2017, the
U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(the ‘‘Tax Act’’). The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The final impacts of the Tax
Act  may  differ  from  the  estimates  provided  elsewhere  in  this  report,  possibly  materially,  due  to,  among
other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise
because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in
response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates we have utilized to calculate the impacts,
including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign
subsidiaries.  It  is  very  difficult  to  assess  the  overall  effect  of  potential  tax  changes,  and  how  they  might
impact  our  future  financial  results.  For  instance,  during  fiscal  2019,  we  expect  additional  guidance  with
respect  to  Base  erosion  tax  and  Global  intangible  low  taxed  income  that  might  have  an  impact  on  our
current estimates.

Our quarterly financial position, revenue, operating results and profitability are challenging to predict and may
vary from quarter to quarter, which could  cause our share price  to decline significantly.

Our quarterly revenue, operating results and profitability have varied in the past and are likely to vary
significantly  from  quarter  to  quarter  in  the  future.  The  factors  that  are  likely  to  cause  these  variations
include:

(cid:129) unanticipated contract or project terminations, or reductions in  scope  or size of  IT  engagements

(cid:129) the continuing financial stability and growth prospects  of  our clients

(cid:129) our ability under US GAAP to recognize the revenue associated with the services performed in the
applicable  fiscal  period  due  to  many  factors,  including  having  fully  signed  contractual  agreements
with  our  clients  for  such  periods  or  our  ability  to  produce  the  deliverables  or  meet  the  project
milestones in accordance with agreed upon specifications or timelines in the applicable fiscal period
and achieve revenue recognition under US  GAAP

(cid:129) lengthening of sales cycles

(cid:129) the number, timing, scope and contractual terms of IT  projects in which we are engaged

(cid:129) delays  in  project  commencement  or  staffing  delays  due  to  immigration  issues  or  our  inability  to

assign  appropriately skilled or experienced personnel

29

(cid:129) our ability to obtain visas or applicable work permits for offshore personnel to commence projects

at a client site for new or existing engagements

(cid:129) our ability to forecast demand for our services and thereby maintain an appropriate number of team

members

(cid:129) the  accuracy  of  estimates  of  resources,  effort,  time  and  fees  required  to  complete  fixed-price

projects and costs, effort and time incurred in the performance of each project

(cid:129) changes in pricing in response to client demand  and competitive pressures

(cid:129) our  inability  to  manage  the  optimum  mix  of  onsite  and  offshore  staffing  or  required  use  of

subcontractors

(cid:129) the mix of leadership and senior technical resources to junior engineering resources staffed on each

project

(cid:129) unexpected changes in the utilization rate of our IT professionals

(cid:129) inability  to  collect  our  receivables  from,  or  bill  our  unbilled  services  to,  our  clients  due  to  our
performance or client financial difficulties or client satisfaction with our performance, resulting in
deferral of revenue recognition under US GAAP, delays in collection and/or negative impact on our
cash flows

(cid:129) seasonal trends, primarily our hiring cycle and  the budget and work cycles of our clients

(cid:129) the ratio of fixed-price contracts to time-and-materials  contracts

(cid:129) employee  wage  levels  and  increases  in  compensation  costs,  including  timing  of  promotions  and

annual pay increases, particularly in India and Sri Lanka

(cid:129) our ability to have the client reimburse us for travel and living expenses, especially the airfare and
related expenses of our Indian and Sri Lankan offshore personnel traveling and working onsite in
the United States or the United Kingdom

(cid:129) acquisitions,  including  transaction-related  costs  and  write-downs  from  future  impairments  of

identified intangible assets and goodwill, and other one-time, non-recurring  projects

As  a  result,  our  revenue  and  our  operating  results  for  a  particular  period  are  challenging  to  predict
and may decline in comparison to corresponding prior periods regardless of the strength of our business.
Our future revenue is also challenging to predict because we derive a substantial portion of our revenue
from  fees  for  services  generated  from  short-term  contracts  that  may  be  terminated  or  delayed  by  our
clients  without  penalty.  In  addition,  a  high  percentage  of  our  operating  expenses,  particularly  related  to
salary expense, rent, depreciation expense and amortization of purchased intangible assets, are relatively
fixed in advance of any particular quarter and are based, in part, on our expectations as to future revenue.
If we are unable to predict the timing or amounts of future revenue accurately, we may be unable to adjust
spending  in  a  timely  manner  to  compensate  for  any  unexpected  revenue  shortfall  and  fail  to  meet  our
forecasts. Unexpected revenue shortfalls may also decrease our gross margins and could cause significant
changes in our operating results from quarter to quarter. As a result, and in addition to the factors listed
above,  any  of  the  following  factors  could  have  a  significant  and  adverse  impact  on  our  operating  results,
could result in a shortfall of revenue  and  could result in losses to us:

(cid:129) a client’s decision not to pursue a new project or proceed to succeeding stages of a current project

(cid:129) the  completion  during  a  quarter  of  several  major  client  projects,  resulting  in  our  having  to  pay

underutilized team members in subsequent periods

(cid:129) adverse business decisions of our clients  regarding the use of our services

30

(cid:129) our inability to transition team members  quickly from completed  projects to new  engagements

(cid:129) our inability to manage costs, including personnel, infrastructure, facility and support services costs

(cid:129) exchange rate fluctuations

Due  to  the  foregoing  factors,  it  is  possible  that  in  some  future  periods  our  revenue  and  operating
results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the trading price of
our  common stock could fall substantially  either suddenly,  or over time.

The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum on withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative
effect on global economic conditions, financial markets  and our business.

In  June  2016,  a  majority  of  voters  in  the  United  Kingdom  elected  to  withdraw  from  the  European
Union  in  a  national  referendum,  or  Brexit  Referendum.  The  Brexit  Referendum  was  advisory,  and  the
terms  of  any  withdrawal  are  subject  to  a  negotiation  period  that  could  last  at  least  two  years  after  the
government  of  the  United  Kingdom  formally  initiates  a  withdrawal  process,  which  the  U.K.  government
initiated in March 2017. The Brexit Referendum has created political and economic uncertainty about the
future  relationship  between  the  United  Kingdom  and  the  European  Union  and  as  to  whether  any  other
European countries may similarly seek to exit the European Union. As we have material operations in the
United Kingdom and Europe and our global operations serve many customers with significant operations
in those  regions, our financial condition and results of operation may  be impacted by such uncertainty.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, revenues from our customers in the United Kingdom and
the  rest  of  Europe  represented  15%  and  9%,  respectively,  of  our  consolidated  revenues.  A  significant
portion  of  our  revenues  from  customers  in  the  United  Kingdom  is  generated  in  British  pounds.  This
exposure subjects us to revenue risk with respect to our customers in the United Kingdom as well as to risk
resulting from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, for the fiscal year ended
March  31,  2018,  revenues  from  our  BFSI  customers  represented  67%  of  our  consolidated  revenues.
Uncertainty regarding future United Kingdom financial laws and regulations, the withdrawal terms of the
United Kingdom from the European Union and the future trade terms between the United Kingdom and
the European Union could negatively impact the financial services sector, including our customers in such
sector, and as a consequence adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Further, it
is  uncertain  what  impact  the  withdrawal  of  the  United  Kingdom  from  the  European  Union  will  have  on
general  economic  conditions  in  the  United  Kingdom,  the  European  Union  and  globally.  Any  of  these
factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we cannot attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals, our ability to obtain, manage and staff new projects
and expand existing projects may result in  loss of  revenue and an  inability to expand our business.

Our business is labor intensive and our ability to execute and expand existing projects and obtain new
clients  depends  largely  on  our  ability  to  hire,  train  and  retain  highly-skilled  IT  professionals,  particularly
project  managers,  IT  engineers  and  other  senior  technical  personnel.  The  improvement  in  demand  for
global  IT  services  has  further  increased  the  need  for  employees  with  specialized  skills  or  significant
experience in IT services, particularly at senior levels and those with special skills. Further, there is intense
worldwide competition for IT professionals with the skills necessary to perform the services we offer. If we
cannot  hire  and  retain  such  additional  qualified  personnel,  our  ability  to  acquire,  manage  and  staff  new
projects and to expand, manage and staff existing projects, may be materially impaired. We may then lose
revenue  and  our  ability  to  expand  our  business  may  be  harmed.  For  example,  in  our  fiscal  year  ended
March  31,  2018,  our  voluntary  attrition  rate  was  11.8%.  We,  and  the  industry  in  which  we  operate,
generally experience high employee attrition and we cannot assure you that we will be able to hire or retain
the number and quality of technical personnel necessary to satisfy our current and future client needs. We
also may not be able to hire and retain enough skilled and experienced IT professionals to replace those
who  leave.  Additionally,  if  we  have  to  replace  personnel  who  have  left  our  company,  we  will  incur

31

increased  costs  not  only  in  hiring  replacements  but  also  in  training  such  replacements  until  they  can
become productive and billable to our clients. In addition, we may not be able to redeploy and retrain our
IT  professionals  in  anticipation  of  continuing  changes  in  technology,  evolving  standards  and  changing
client preferences. Our inability to attract and retain IT professionals, or delays or inability to staff needed
resources  on  client  engagements  may  cause  client  dissatisfaction,  project  and  staffing  delays  in  new  and
existing  engagements,  project  cancellations,  project  losses,  higher  project  costs  and  loss  of  revenue,
resulting  in  decreases  in  profits  and  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  results  of  operations,
financial condition and cash flows.

The IT services market is highly competitive and our competitors may have advantages that may allow them to
compete more effectively than we do to  secure  client contracts and attract skilled IT professionals.

The  IT  services  market  in  which  we  operate  includes  a  large  number  of  participants  and  is  highly
competitive.  Our  primary  competitors  include  offshore  IT  outsourcing  firms  and  consulting  and  systems
integration firms. We also occasionally compete with in-house IT departments, smaller vertically focused
IT service providers and local IT service providers based in the geographic areas where we compete. We
expect  additional  competition  from  offshore  IT  outsourcing  firms  in  emerging  locations  such  as  Eastern
Europe, Latin America and China, as well as offshore IT service providers with facilities in less expensive
geographies within India.

The  IT  services  industry  in  which  we  compete  is  experiencing  rapid  changes  in  its  competitive
landscape.  Some  of  the  large  consulting  firms  and  offshore  IT  service  providers  with  which  we  compete
have significant resources and financial capabilities combined with a greater number of IT professionals.
Many of our competitors are significantly larger and some have gained access to public and private capital
or have merged or consolidated with better capitalized partners. These events have created and may in the
future  create,  larger  and  better  capitalized  competitors.  Our  competitors  may  have  superior  abilities  to
compete for market share and compete against us for our existing and prospective clients. Our competitors
may also have larger engagements with our existing or prospective clients which, due to our size and scale,
may  provide  our  competitors  with  significant  advantages  in  any  competitive  bidding  process.  Our
competitors  may  also  be  better  able  to  use  significant  economic  incentives,  such  as  lower  billing  rates  or
non-billable resources, to secure contracts with our existing and prospective clients or gain a competitive
advantage by being able to staff engagements that we are unable to staff, due to our shortage of resources,
our lack of special skill sets or immigration delays. Our competitors may also be better able to compete for
and retain skilled professionals by offering them more attractive compensation or other incentives. These
factors may allow our competitors to have advantages over us to meet client demands in an engagement
requiring large numbers and varied types of resources with specific experience or skill-sets that we may not
have readily available in the short-term or the long-term. We cannot assure you that we can maintain or
enhance  our  competitive  position  against  current  and  future  competitors.  Our  failure  to  compete
effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our  previous  acquisitions,  including  the  eTouch  and  Polaris  acquisitions,  and  any  future  acquisitions  may  be
difficult to integrate, could divert the attention of key management personnel, materially disrupt our business, dilute
stockholder value and materially adversely affect our financial results, including impairment of goodwill and other
intangible  assets,  if  we  are  unable  to  realize  the  expected  revenue  and  synergy  growth  or  efficiencies  from  these
acquisitions.

For the Polaris, eTouch and other recent acquisitions, as well as any future acquisitions, we may incur

substantial risks, including:

(cid:129) inability to generate sufficient revenue or synergy growth to offset transaction costs or to maintain

previous forecasts regarding revenue growth, profit margins  and earnings per share forecasts

32

(cid:129) underperformance  of  the  acquired  company  as  compared  to  our  forecasts,  resulting  in  lower
utilization,  lower  gross  margins  and  operating  margins,  higher  operating  costs  and  lower  profits
from our previous forecasts

(cid:129) difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, accounting and personnel

(cid:129) difficulties  in  supporting  and  transitioning  clients  of  our  acquired  companies  or  strategic  partners

(cid:129) diversion of financial and management resources from  existing operations

(cid:129) potential loss of key team members

(cid:129) assumption  of  responsibilities  and  obligations  of  the  acquired  business  pursuant  to  the  terms  and
conditions  of  services  agreements  that  are  not  consistent  with  the  terms  and  conditions  that  we
typically accept and require

(cid:129) unknown liabilities or liabilities for which indemnification may or may not apply and difficulties of

recovering any indemnifiable losses

Our  organizational  structure  could  also  make  it  difficult  for  us  to  efficiently  integrate  acquired
businesses or technologies into our ongoing operations and assimilate employees of those businesses into
our  culture  and  operations.  Accordingly,  we  might  fail  to  realize  the  expected  benefits  or  strategic
objectives of any acquisition we undertake. Acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill
and  other  intangible  assets  that  are  subject  to  potential  impairments  in  the  future  that  could  harm  our
financial results. We have completed eleven acquisitions from November 2009 to March 31, 2018, including
the  closing  of  the  Polaris  and  eTouch  acquisitions.  If  we  fail  to  successfully  integrate  these  acquired
companies or any company that we may acquire in the future and maintain their value, or if any existing or
future  acquired  companies  materially  fail  to  perform  in  a  manner  consistent  with  our  valuations  or
forecasts, we may suffer an impairment of our assets, resulting in an immediate charge to our consolidated
statement of income. Any such failure to integrate an acquired company, or any impairment of intangible
assets or goodwill of any such acquired company could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated
balance sheet and consolidated statements of income.

There can be no assurance that our business, results of operations and financial condition or our cash needs will not
be adversely affected by our incurrence of indebtedness or obligations incurred in connection with our issuance of
convertible preferred stock.

On  May  3,  2017,  we  issued  to  the  Orogen  Group,  an  independent  private  company  focused  on
supporting  growth-oriented  businesses,  3,000,000  shares  of  convertible  preferred  stock,  which  requires  a
3.875%  dividend  per  annum,  payable  quarterly  in  additional  shares  of  common  stock  and/or  cash  at  our
option,  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $108  million  with  a  maturity/redemption  date  of  May  3,  2024
and an initial conversion price of $36.00 (the ‘‘Orogen Preferred Stock Financing’’). There is no guarantee
that we will be able make cash payments on our preferred stock, our stockholders will not suffer increased
dilution due to terms of our outstanding convertible preferred stock or that we will realize any synergies or
increases in revenue to offset any such dilution to our stockholders.

In addition to the Orogen Preferred Stock Financing, we have also incurred substantial indebtedness
under  a  senior  secured  debt  facility  to  finance  the  Polaris  transactions,  including  the  delisting  process  of
Polaris,  and  the  eTouch  acquisition.  On  February  6,  2018,  we  entered  into  a  $450.0  million  credit
agreement  with  a  syndicated  bank  group,  which  amends  and  restates  our  prior  $300.0  million  credit
agreement  under  the  new  credit  facility,  we  drew  down  $180.0  million  on  the  new  term  loan  and
$55.0 million on the new revolving credit facility to repay in full the prior credit facility and fund the Polaris
delisting transaction. We are obligated to pay certain interest and amortization payments under this new
credit facility. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 6, 2023. As of March 31,
2018, the outstanding amount under  the Credit  Agreement was  $305.0 million.

33

There is no guarantee that we will be able to service the interest and principal payments on our debt
or  make  cash  payments  on  our  preferred  stock  or  that  our  business,  results  of  operations  and  financial
condition  will  not  be  adversely  affected  by  our  incurrence  of  indebtedness  or  our  stockholders  will  not
suffer increased dilution due to terms of  our outstanding convertible  preferred stock.

We may incur additional indebtedness in the future, which may be significant. If we draw down from
our credit facility, or if we want to pay required dividends in cash on our outstanding convertible preferred
stock,  we  will  be  required  to  have  sufficient  cash  available  in  the  United  States  to  pay  scheduled
installments, accrued interest and fees from time to time and at maturity on our term loan or for dividends
on  our  preferred  stock  payments  if  we  want  to  pay  in  cash  and  not  pay  our  dividends  in  commons  stock
which will increase the dilutive impact of the financing. If we do not have sufficient cash available in the
United States or we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations in the United States, we may be unable
to service the debt or pay dividends in cash on our convertible preferred stock or we may be required to
repatriate  earnings  held  by  our  foreign  subsidiaries.  Any  such  repatriation  would  cause  us  to  accrue  the
applicable amount of taxes associated with such earnings at that time, which could have a material adverse
effect  on  our  results  of  operations.  In  addition,  we  may  not  have  sufficient  cash  in  the  United  States  or
abroad to make payments on our debt obligations or dividends in cash on our convertible preferred stock,
which  could  cause  us  to  seek  additional  debt  or  equity  capital  or  restructure  or  refinance  our  existing
indebtedness. We may not be able to effect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially
reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow us to meet our
scheduled debt service obligations or dividend payments on our convertible preferred stock in cash or that
we can avoid increased dilution to our stockholders under the terms of our convertible preferred  stock.

In addition, the credit agreement contains certain financial and other covenants, including customary
minimum  cash,  maximum  debt  to  EBITDA  and  minimum  fixed  charge  coverage  covenants.  Failure  to
comply with these covenants or other provisions of the credit agreement could result in a default under the
credit agreement, requiring us to either cure such default, receive a waiver, or in the absence of such cure
or waiver, refinance any outstanding indebtedness under the credit agreement. There is no assurance that
we would be able to refinance our debt on acceptable terms and conditions. Moreover, if we are unable to
force conversion of the preferred stock to common stock or there is not a conversion event of the preferred
stock holders to common stock prior to May 3, 2024, under the terms of our convertible preferred stock,
we are required to redeem the shares of preferred stock. There is no assurance that we would be able to
redeem the preferred stock or obtain  financing  on acceptable terms and conditions,  if at all.

Despite our senior secured credit facility and the Orogen Preferred Stock Financing, we may need to raise capital in
the future, although our ability to raise  capital may  be limited.

In  connection  with  the  Polaris  acquisition,  delisting  process  and  related  transactions,  as  well  as  the
eTouch acquisition, we entered into a credit facility for $450.0 million, which amends and restates our prior
$300.0 million credit agreement and provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million
term loan facility, and a $70.0 million delayed-draw term loan, of which we have drawn down $71 million in
term  loan  and  $49  million  from  the  line  of  credit  to  buy  the  Polaris  shares,  with  $145  million  remaining
under  the  revolving  credit  facility.  On  May  3,  2017,  we  closed  the  Orogen  Preferred  Stock  Financing,
amended our credit agreement primarily to issue the convertible preferred stock and pay certain dividends
with  respect  to  the  convertible  preferred  stock  and  used  $81  million  of  the  convertible  preferred  stock
proceeds to repay part of our $200 million term loan.

If  our  remaining  revolving  credit  facility,  cash  flows  and  proceeds  from  the  preferred  stock  sale  are
not  sufficient  to  fund  our  strategic  investments  or  operations,  we  may  seek  to  raise  additional  funds
through  the  issuance  of  equity  or  convertible  debt  securities,  whereby  the  percentage  ownership  of  our
stockholders could be significantly diluted and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we seek to obtain additional debt financing, there is no
assurance  that  existing  lenders  will  permit  additional  indebtedness,  and  even  if  permitted,  a  substantial

34

portion  of  our  operating  cash  flow  may  be  dedicated  to  the  payment  of  principal  and  interest  on  such
indebtedness,  thus  limiting  funds  available  for  our  business  activities  and  increasing  our  costs  of
operations, which could have a material adverse impact on our operating margins. Any such debt financing
could require us to comply with restrictive financial and operating covenants, which could have a material
adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition and there is no guarantee or
assurance that any such credit facility  will be available or  if so, on reasonable terms.

We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all or in
the locations where we need the additional capital. If adequate funds are not available or are not available
on acceptable terms, when we desire them, our ability to fund our operations and growth, take advantage
of unanticipated opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures may be significantly limited.

Our  substantial  level  of  debt  and  related  obligations,  including  interest  payments,  covenants  and
restrictions, as well as our obligations under our Orogen Preferred Stock Financing, including annual and
quarterly  dividend  obligations  and  the  redemption  requirement,  could  have  important  consequences,
including by:

(cid:129) impairing our ability to invest in and  successfully  grow  our business and make acquisitions

(cid:129) making  it  more  difficult  for  us  to  satisfy  our  obligations  with  respect  to  our  indebtedness,  which

could result in an event of default

(cid:129) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms to fund our working capital
requirements,  capital  expenditures,  acquisitions,  debt  obligations  and  other  general  corporate
requirements;

(cid:129) hindering our ability to raise equity capital

(cid:129) increasing  our  vulnerability  to  general  economic  downturns,  competition  and  industry  conditions,
which could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that are less leveraged
and therefore we may be unable to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us
from exploiting

(cid:129) imposing  additional  restrictions  on  the  manner  in  which  we  conduct  our  business,  including

restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt and sell assets

(cid:129) placing  us  at  a  possible  disadvantage  relative  to  less  leveraged  competitors  and  competitors  that

have better access to capital resources

The  occurrence  of  any  one  of  these  events  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial
condition, operating results or cash flows and ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness our
preferred stock holders. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of
our  activities.

We could be subject to strict restrictions on the movement of cash and the exchange of foreign currencies which could
limit our access to cash in non-U.S. locations to fund our U.S. operations or otherwise make investments where
needed.

In some countries, we could be subject to strict restrictions on the movement of cash and the exchange
of foreign currencies, which would limit our ability to use this cash across our global operations. This risk
could  increase  as  we  continue  our  geographic  expansion  in  emerging  markets,  which  are  more  likely  to
impose these restrictions than more established markets. We therefore may not have ready access to cash
in geographies where we need to make investments. For instance, at March 31, 2018, we had approximately
$244.9  million  of  cash,  cash  equivalents,  short  term  investments  and  long-term  investments  of  which  we
hold  approximately  $191.0  million  of  cash,  cash  equivalents,  short  term  investments  and  long-term
investments  in  non-U.S.  locations,  particularly  in  India,  Sri  Lanka,  Singapore  and  the  United  Kingdom.

35

Cash  in  these  non-U.S.  locations  may  not  otherwise  be  available  for  servicing  debt  obligations,  potential
investment  or  use  for  operations  in  the  United  States  or  other  geographies  where  needed,  as  we  have
stated  that  this  cash  is  indefinitely  reinvested  in  these  non-U.S.  locations.  Moreover,  even  if  we  were  to
repatriate  this  cash  back  to  the  United  States  for  use  in  U.S.  investments,  this  cash  would  be  subject  to
additional  taxes.  Due  to  various  methods  by  which  cash  could  be  repatriated  to  the  United  States  in  the
future,  the  amount  of  taxes  attributable  to  the  cash  is  dependent  on  circumstances  existing  if  and  when
remittance occurs. Due to the various methods by which such earnings could be repatriated in the future, it
is not practicable to determine the amount of applicable taxes that would result from such repatriation. In
addition, some countries could have tight restrictions on the movement and exchange of foreign currencies
which could further limit our ability to use such funds for repayment of debt, global operations or capital
or other strategic investments. Our inability to access our cash where and when needed could impede our
ability to service our debt obligations, make  investments and  support our operations.

We may face damage to our professional reputation and be subject to legal claims and litigation, including high and
unexpected costs as a result of any litigation or client disputes, if our services do not meet our clients’ expectations or
violate contractual terms with our clients.

Many of our projects involve technology applications or systems that are critical to the operations of
our  clients’  businesses  and  handle  very  large  volumes  of  transactions.  If  we  fail  to  perform  our  services
correctly, we may be unable to deliver applications or systems to our clients with the promised functionality
or within the promised time frame, or to satisfy the required service levels for support and maintenance. If
a client is not satisfied with our services or products, including those of subcontractors we employ, we may
not be able to invoice for our services, or if we do invoice, we may not be able to collect the fees due on
such engagements and our business may suffer. Moreover, if we fail to meet our contractual obligations,
our clients may terminate their contracts and we could face legal liabilities, and increased costs, including
warranty  or  breach  of  contract  claims  against  us.  If  we  were  not  to  prevail  in  the  litigation,  we  may  be
required  to  refund  all  fees  paid,  reverse  previously  recognized  revenues  or  pay  damages  suffered  by  the
client which may exceed the value of the contract, despite limitation of liability provisions in the contract.
If any adverse litigation or arbitration award were granted against us, we may not have reserved sufficiently
(or at all, depending on the probability of outcome) for these losses and, as such, these losses could result
in  reversal  of  revenues  or  increased  and  unexpected  financial  losses  which  could  have  a  material  and
negative impact on our statement of operations and cash position in the financial quarter and fiscal year in
which  the  award  was  granted.  Any  failure  in  a  client’s  project  could  also  result  in  a  claim  for  substantial
damages, our inability to recognize all or some of the revenue for the client project, potential reversals of
revenue previously recognized, non-payment of outstanding invoices, increased expenses due to increase in
reserves for doubtful accounts, loss of future business with such client, increased costs due to non-billable
time of our resources dedicated to address any performance or client satisfaction issues, or litigation costs
and expenses, regardless of our responsibility for such failure.

We may face difficulties in providing end-to-end business solutions or delivering complex and large projects for our
clients that could cause clients to discontinue their work with us, which in turn could harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

We  have  been  expanding  the  nature  and  scope  of  our  engagements  and  have  added  new  service
offerings  across  the  industries  we  serve.  The  success  of  these  service  offerings  depends,  in  part,  upon
continued  demand  for  such  services  by  our  existing  and  prospective  clients  and  our  ability  to  meet  this
demand in a cost-competitive and effective manner. To obtain engagements for such end-to-end solutions,
we also are more likely to compete with large, well-established international consulting firms, resulting in
increased  competition  and  pricing  pressure.  Accordingly,  we  cannot  be  certain  that  our  new  service
offerings will effectively meet client needs or that we will be able to attract existing and prospective clients
to these service offerings.

36

The increased breadth of our service offerings has resulted and may continue to result in larger and
more complex projects with our clients. This requires us to establish closer relationships with our clients
and  achieve  a  thorough  understanding  of  their  operations.  Our  ability  to  establish  such  relationships
depends  on  a  number  of  factors,  including  the  proficiency  of  our  professionals  and  our  management
personnel.  Our  failure  to  understand  our  client  requirements  or  our  failure  to  deliver  services  that  meet
the requirements specified by our clients could result in termination of client contracts, client disputes and
contractual claims against us, and we could be liable to our clients for significant penalties or damages, as
well as legal and litigation costs if claims are not resolved amicably, each of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results  of  operations and financial condition.

Larger  projects  often  involve  multiple  engagements  or  stages,  and  there  is  a  risk  that  a  client  may
choose not to retain us for additional stages or may cancel or delay additional planned engagements. These
terminations,  cancellations  or  delays  may  result  from  factors  that  have  little  or  nothing  to  do  with  the
quality of our services, such as the business or financial condition of our clients or the economy generally.
Such cancellations or delays make it difficult to plan for project resource requirements and inaccuracies in
such resource planning and allocation may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

New and changing corporate governance and public disclosure requirements add uncertainty to our compliance
policies and increase our costs of, and  time dedicated to, compliance.

Changing  laws,  regulations  and  standards  relating  to  accounting,  corporate  governance  and  public
disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, other SEC regulations, and the Nasdaq Global Select
Market rules, are creating uncertainty for companies like ours. These laws, regulations and standards may
lack  specificity  and  are  subject  to  varying  interpretations.  Their  application  in  practice  may  evolve  over
time,  as  new  guidance  is  provided  by  regulatory  and  governing  bodies.  This  could  result  in  continuing
uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs of compliance as a result of ongoing revisions
to such corporate governance standards.

In  particular,  our  efforts  to  comply  with  Section  404  of  the  Sarbanes-  Oxley  Act  of  2002  and  the
related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and
our  external  auditors’  audit  of  that  assessment  requires  the  commitment  of  significant  financial  and
managerial resources. We consistently assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting,
remediate  any  control  deficiencies  that  may  be  identified,  and  validate  through  testing  that  our  control
environment  is  functioning  as  documented.  While  we  do  not  anticipate  any  material  weaknesses,  the
inability  of  management  and  our  independent  registered  public  accountant  to  provide  us  with  an
unqualified report as to the adequacy and effectiveness, respectively, of our internal controls over financial
reporting,  including  operations  of  any  acquired  businesses,  such  as  Polaris  or  eTouch,  in  the  applicable
reporting period, for future year-ends could result in adverse consequences to us, including, but not limited
to, a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could cause the market
price of our stock to decline.

Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these
compliance  initiatives  which  extend  to  all  of  our  subsidiaries,  including  Polaris  and  its  subsidiaries.  In
particular, these increased obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management and
divert  its  attention  away  from  the  day-to-day  management  of  our  business,  which  could  materially  and
adversely affect our business operations.

We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, and
our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards in this regard have resulted in, and are
likely  to  continue  to  result  in,  increased  general  and  administrative  expenses  and  a  diversion  of
management  time  and  attention  from  revenue-generating  activities  to  compliance  activities.  In  addition,
the laws, regulations and standards regarding corporate governance may make it more difficult  for us to

37

obtain  director  and  officer  liability  insurance.  Further,  our  board  members,  chief  executive  officer  and
chief  financial  officer  could  face  an  increased  risk  of  personal  liability  in  connection  with  their
performance  of  duties.  As  a  result,  we  may  face  difficulties  attracting  and  retaining  qualified  board
members and executive officers, which could harm our business. If we fail to comply with new or changed
laws, regulations or standards of corporate governance, our business and  reputation may  be  harmed.

Currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations  may  materially  and  negatively  affect  our  revenue,  gross  margin,  operating
margin, net income and cash flows.

The exchange rates among the Indian and Sri Lankan rupees and the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound
sterling, as well as the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling, have changed
substantially  in  prior  periods  and  may  continue  to  fluctuate  substantially  in  the  future.  We  expect  that  a
majority  of  our  revenue  will  continue  to  be  generated  in  the  U.S.  dollar,  U.K.  pound  sterling,  Indian
Rupee, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Singapore dollar for the foreseeable future. Any
appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the U.K. pound sterling, the euro, the Indian rupee, the Singapore
dollar, the Canadian dollar and/or the Australian dollar will likely have a negative impact on our revenue,
operating income and net income. For the foreseeable future, we also expect that a significant portion of
our  expenses,  including  personnel  costs  and  operating  expenditures,  will  continue  to  be  denominated  in
Indian  and  Sri  Lankan  rupees.  Accordingly,  any  material  appreciation  of  the  Indian  rupee  or  the
Sri Lankan rupee against the U.S. dollar or U.K. pound sterling could have a material adverse effect on
our  cost  of  revenue,  gross  margins  and  net  income,  which  may  in  turn  have  a  negative  impact  on  our
business, operating results, financial condition and  results of operations.

Our operating results may be adversely  affected by our use  of derivative financial instruments.

There  is  no  guarantee  that  our  financial  results  will  not  be  adversely  affected  by  currency  exchange

rate fluctuations or that any efforts by us  to  engage in currency  hedging activities will be effective.

Although  we  have  adopted  a  six-quarter  cash  flow  hedging  program  to  minimize  the  effect  of  any
Indian rupee fluctuation on our financial condition, these hedges may not be effective or may cause us to
forego certain potential benefits, especially given the volatility of the currency. In addition, to the extent
that  these  hedges  cease  to  qualify  for  hedge  accounting,  we  may  have  to  recognize  the  derivative
instruments’ unrealized gains or losses in earnings prior to maturity. If we are unable to accurately forecast
our Indian-rupee denominated costs, we may lose our ability to qualify for hedge accounting. We cannot
guarantee our ability to accurately forecast such expenses. In addition, as part of the Polaris acquisition, we
have  assumed  a  cash  flow  program  designed  to  mitigate  the  impact  of  the  volatility  of  the  translation  of
Polaris U.S. dollar denominated revenue into Indian rupees over a rolling 18-month period. While these
hedges are achieving their designed objective for Polaris, upon consolidation they may cause volatility in
our U.S. dollar denominated revenue due to variations between monthly average and contract hedge rates
when  converting  back  to  U.S.  dollars  in  consolidation.  Furthermore,  we  are  exposed  to  foreign  currency
volatility  related  to  other  currencies  including,  the  Swedish  Krona,  the  Canadian  dollar,  the  euro,  the
Singapore  dollar,  the  Sri  Lankan  rupee,  and  the  Australian  dollar,  which  are  either  not  hedged  or  not
hedged in full. Any significant change as compared to the U.S. dollar could have a negative impact on our
revenue, operating profit, and net income. Finally, as we continue to leverage our global delivery model,
more  of  our  expenses  will  be  incurred  in  currencies  other  than  those  in  which  we  bill  for  the  related
services.  An  increase  in  the  value  of  these  currencies,  such  as  the  Indian  rupee  or  Sri  Lankan  rupee,
against the U.S. dollar or U.K. pound sterling could increase costs for delivery of services at off-shore sites
by increasing labor and other costs that are denominated in  the respective local currency.

38

Our global operations expose us to numerous and sometimes conflicting legal and regulatory requirements, and
violation of these regulations could harm our  business.

We  are  subject  to  numerous,  and  sometimes  conflicting,  legal  regimes  on  matters  as  diverse  as
anti-corruption,  import/export  controls,  content  requirements,  trade  restrictions,  tariffs,  taxation,
sanctions, immigration, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation, anti-competition,
data privacy and protection, employment and labor relations. Some of these legal regimes are in emerging
markets  where  legal  systems  may  be  less  developed  or  familiar  to  us.  Compliance  with  diverse  legal
requirements  is  costly,  time-  consuming  and  requires  significant  resources.  Violations  of  one  or  more  of
these regulations in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines, criminal sanctions against
us  or  our  officers,  prohibitions  on  doing  business  and  damage  to  our  reputation.  Violations  of  these
regulations in connection with the performance of our obligations to our clients also could result in liability
for  significant  monetary  damages,  fines  and/or  criminal  prosecution,  unfavorable  publicity  and  other
reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to process information and allegations by our clients that
we have not performed our contractual obligations. Due to the varying degrees of development of the legal
systems of the countries in which we operate, local laws may not be well developed or provide sufficiently
clear guidance and may be insufficient  to  protect our rights.

In  particular,  in  many  parts  of  the  world,  including  countries  in  which  we  operate  and/or  seek  to
expand, it is possible that our employees, subcontractors or agents in the local business community might
not  conform  to  international  business  standards  and  could  violate  anti-corruption  laws,  or  regulations,
including the UK Bribery Act of 2010 and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘‘FCPA’’) which prohibit
improper  payments  or  offers  of  improper  payments  to  foreign  officials  to  obtain  business  or  any  other
benefit. The FCPA also requires covered companies to make and keep books and records that accurately
and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  of  the  company  and  to  devise  and  maintain  an  adequate  system  of
internal  accounting  controls.  Although  we  have  policies  and  procedures  in  place  that  are  designed  to
promote  legal  and  regulatory  compliance,  our  employees,  subcontractors  and  agents  could  take  actions
that  violate  these  policies  or  procedures  or  applicable  anti-corruption  laws,  regulations  or  standards.
Violations of these laws or regulations by us, our employees or any of these third parties could subject us to
criminal or civil enforcement actions (whether or not we participated or knew about the actions leading to
the violations), including fines or penalties, disgorgement of profits and suspension or disqualification from
work, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, including our results of operations and
our  reputation.

If we do not continue to maintain or improve our operational, financial and other internal controls and systems to
manage our growth and size or if we are unable to enter, operate and compete effectively in new geographic markets,
our business may suffer and the value  of  our stockholders’ investment in our Company  may be  harmed.

Our growth, including the eTouch acquisition and integration of eTouch into Virtusa, will continue to
place  significant  demands  on  our  management  and  other  resources  and  will  require  us  to  continue  to
develop and improve our operational, financial and other internal controls in the United States, Europe,
India, Sri Lanka and elsewhere. In particular, our continued growth will increase the challenges involved
in:

(cid:129) recruiting, training and retaining technical, finance, marketing and management personnel with the

knowledge, skills and experience that our  business  model requires

(cid:129) maintaining high levels of client satisfaction

(cid:129) developing  and  improving  our  internal  administrative  infrastructure  and  controls,  particularly  our

financial, operational, communications and  other internal systems and controls

(cid:129) preserving our culture, values and  entrepreneurial environment

39

(cid:129) effectively managing our personnel and operations and effectively communicating to our personnel

worldwide our core values, strategies and goals

(cid:129) ensuring the accounting and internal controls in Polaris are at least as stringent as those in Virtusa
and comply with applicable rules, regulations and requirements to which Virtusa is subject, such as
compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (‘‘SOX’’) and SEC rules and  regulations.

In addition, the increasing size and scope of our operations increase the possibility that a member of
our  personnel  will  engage  in  unlawful  or  fraudulent  activity,  breach  our  contractual  obligations,  or
otherwise  expose  us  to  unacceptable  business  risks,  despite  our  efforts  to  train  our  people  and  maintain
internal  controls  to  prevent  such  instances.  If  we  do  not  continue  to  maintain  and/or  develop  and
implement the right processes and tools to manage our enterprise, our ability to compete successfully and
achieve our business objectives could  be  impaired.

We may not be able to obtain, develop or implement new systems, infrastructure, procedures and controls that are
required to support our operations, maintain cost controls, market our services and manage our relationships with
our clients.

To manage our operations effectively, we must continue to maintain and may need to enhance our IT
infrastructure, financial and accounting systems and controls and manage expanded operations in several
locations.  We  also  must  attract,  integrate,  train  and  retain  qualified  personnel,  especially  in  the  areas  of
accounting, internal audit and financial disclosure. Further, we will need to manage our relationships with
various clients, vendors and other third parties. We may not be able to develop and implement on a timely
basis,  if  at  all,  the  systems,  infrastructure  procedures  and  controls  required  to  support  our  operations,
including  infrastructure  management,  and  controls  regarding  usage  and  deployment  of  hardware  and
software,  for  performance  of  our  services.  Any  failure  by  us  to  comply  with  these  controls  or  our
contractual  obligations  could  result  in  legal  liability  to  us,  which  would  have  a  negative  impact  on  our
consolidated  statements  of  income  and  consolidated  balance  sheets.  Additionally,  some  factors,  like
changes  in  immigration  laws  or  visa  processing  restrictions  that  limit  our  ability  to  engage  offshore
resources at client locations in the United States, the United Kingdom or other countries, are outside of
our  control.  Our  future  operating  results  will  also  depend  on  our  ability  to  develop  and  maintain  a
successful sales organization and processes that can ensure our ability to effectively monitor, manage and
forecast our sales activities and resource needs. If we are unable to manage our operations effectively, our
operating results could fluctuate from quarter to quarter and our financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.

The failure to successfully and timely implement certain financial system changes to improve operating efficiency
and enhance our reporting controls could  harm  our business.

We  have  implemented  and  continue  to  install  several  upgrades  and  enhancements  to  our  financial
systems.  We  expect  these  initiatives  to  enable  us  to  achieve  greater  operating  and  financial  reporting
efficiency  and  also  enhance  our  existing  control  environment  through  increased  levels  of  automation  of
certain processes. Failure to successfully implement and execute these initiatives in a timely, effective and
efficient  manner  could  significantly  increase  our  costs,  distract  our  management,  and  result  in  the
disruption of our operations, the inability to comply with our Sarbanes-Oxley obligations and the inability
to report our financial results in a timely  and accurate manner.

Our share price could be adversely affected  if we  are  unable to maintain effective internal  controls.

The accuracy of our financial reporting is dependent on the effectiveness of our internal controls. We
are  required  to  provide  a  report  from  management  to  our  stockholders  on  our  internal  control  over
financial reporting that includes an assessment of the effectiveness of these controls. Internal control over
financial  reporting  has  inherent  limitations,  including  human  error,  the  possibility  that  controls  could  be

40

circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud. Because of these inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting might not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud.
If  we  cannot  maintain  and  execute  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  or  implement
required  new  or  improved  controls  to  ensure  the  reliability  of  the  financial  reporting  and  preparation  of
our financial statements for external use, we could suffer harm to our reputation, fail to meet our public
reporting requirements on a timely basis, or be unable to properly report on our business and the results of
our  operations, and the market price of  our securities  could be materially adversely affected.

We are investing substantial cash in new facilities and our profitability could be reduced if our business does not
grow  proportionately.

We intend to make increased investments in our existing global delivery centers in Asia, particularly
our  largest  centers  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka.  We  may  face  cost  overruns  and  project  delays  in  connection
with these facilities or other facilities we may construct or seek to lease in the future. Such delays may also
cause us to incur additional leasing costs to extend the terms of existing facility leases or to enter into new
short-term leases if we cannot move into the new facilities in a timely manner. Such investment may also
significantly  increase  our  fixed  costs,  including  an  increase  in  depreciation  expense.  If  we  are  unable  to
expand our business and revenue proportionately,  our profitability would be reduced.

We may be audited by software vendors from whom we license or use their software to train our resources or serve
our clients, which may result in claims for  infringement, violations  of license provisions,  or other damages.

From time to time, we are subject to audit by our vendors from whom we license and use software to
confirm compliance with usage and deployment requirements. If, as a result of these audits or otherwise,
vendors believe that we have committed usage or deployment violations, we may be required to purchase
software  from  these  vendors,  and  we  may  be  subject  to  claims  of  infringement  or  wrongful  usage  which
may result in legal liability to us, including damages, legal fees and expenses. In addition to legal liability
and related expense of any litigation, which may include damages and the obligations to purchase software
from such software vendor, we may be prevented from using the vendor’s software in the future which may
have  a  material  and  negative  impact  on  our  ability  to  service  our  customers,  conduct  training  of  our  IT
professionals and generally perform our  services.

Negative  public  perception  in  the  markets  in  which  we  sell  services  regarding  offshore  IT  service  providers  and
proposed anti-outsourcing legislation may  adversely affect  demand  for our services.

We have based our growth strategy on certain assumptions regarding our industry, services and future
demand in the market for such services. However, the trend to outsource IT services may not continue and
could  reverse.  Offshore  outsourcing  is  a  politically  sensitive  topic  in  the  United  States  and  the
United Kingdom. For example, recently many organizations and public figures in the United States and the
United  Kingdom  have  publicly  expressed  concern  about  a  perceived  association  between  offshore
outsourcing  providers  and  the  loss  of  jobs  in  their  home  countries.  In  addition,  there  has  been  recent
publicity about the negative experience of certain companies that use offshore outsourcing, particularly in
India. Current or prospective clients may elect to perform such services themselves or may be discouraged
from transferring these services from onshore to offshore providers to avoid negative perceptions that may
be associated with using an offshore provider. Any slowdown or reversal of existing industry trends towards
offshore outsourcing would seriously harm our ability to compete effectively with competitors that operate
out of facilities located in the United States or the United Kingdom. Legislation in the United States or in
certain  European  countries  may  be  enacted  that  is  intended  to  discourage  or  restrict  outsourcing.  Any
changes  to  existing  laws  or  the  enactment  of  new  legislation  restricting  offshore  outsourcing  in  the
United States or the United Kingdom may adversely affect our ability to do business in the United States
or in the United Kingdom, particularly if these changes are widespread, and could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

41

Cyber-attacks as well as improper disclosure or control of personal information could result in liability and harm
our reputation, which could adversely affect our  business and results  of operations.

Our business is heavily dependent on the security of our IT networks and those of our clients. Internal
or external attacks on any of those could disrupt the normal operations of our engagements and impede
our ability to provide critical services to our clients, thereby subjecting us to liability under our contracts.
Additionally, our business involves the use, storage and transmission of information about our employees,
our  clients  and  customers  of  our  clients.  While  we  take  measures  to  protect  the  security  of,  and
unauthorized  access  to,  our  systems,  as  well  as  the  privacy  of  personal  and  proprietary  information,  it  is
possible that our security controls over our systems, as well as other security practices we follow or those
systems  of  our  clients  into  which  we  operate  and  rely  upon,  may  not  prevent  the  improper  access  to  or
disclosure of personally identifiable or proprietary information. Such disclosure could harm our reputation
and  subject  us  to  liability  under  our  contracts  and  laws  that  protect  personal  data,  resulting  in  increased
costs or loss of revenue.

Further, data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict
among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services and continue to develop in ways
which  we  cannot  predict,  including  with  respect  to  evolving  technologies  such  as  cloud  computing.  This
includes  the  Global  Data  Protection  Regulation  (GDPR),  the  European  Union-wide  legal  framework  to
govern  data  collection,  use  and  sharing  and  related  consumer  privacy  rights,  expected  to  take  effect  in
2018. The GDPR includes significant penalties for non-compliance. Our failure to adhere to or successfully
implement  processes  in  response  to  changing  regulatory  requirements  in  this  area  could  result  in  legal
liability or impairment to our reputation in the marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on
our  business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may face liability if we breach our obligations related to the protection, security, nondisclosure of confidential
client information or disclosure of sensitive data or failure to comply with data protection laws and regulations.

In  the  course  of  providing  services  to  our  clients,  we  may  have  access  to  confidential  client
information, including nonpublic personal data. We are bound by certain agreements to use and disclose
this  information  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  privacy  standards  under  regulations  applicable  to  our
clients and are subject to numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdiction laws and regulations designed to protect
this information, such as the European Union Directive on Data Protection and various U.S. federal and
state laws governing the protection of health or other individually identifiable information. If any person,
including a team member of ours, misappropriates client confidential information, or if client confidential
information is inappropriately disclosed due to a security breach of our computer systems, system failures
or otherwise, or if a security breach occurs on a project on which we are engaged, we may have substantial
liabilities  to  our  clients  or  our  clients’  customers  and  may  incur  substantial  liability  and  penalties  in
connection  with  any  violation  of  applicable  privacy  laws  and/or  criminal  prosecution.  In  addition,  in  the
event of any breach or alleged breach of our confidentiality agreements with our clients, these clients may
terminate  their  engagements  with  us  or  sue  us  for  breach  of  contract,  resulting  in  the  associated  loss  of
revenue and increased costs and damaged reputation. We may also be subject to civil or criminal liability if
we  are  deemed  to  have  violated  applicable  regulations.  We  cannot  assure  you  that  we  will  adequately
address the risks created by the regulations to which we may be contractually obligated to abide.

In addition, as a global service provider with customers in a broad range of industries, we often have
access to or are required to manage, utilize, collect and store sensitive data subject to various regulatory
regimes,  including  but  not  limited  to  U.S.  federal  and  state  laws  governing  the  protection  of  personal
financial and health data and the European Union Directive on Data Protection (to be superseded by the
European  Union’s  General  Data  Protection  Regulation  in  May  2018).  If  unauthorized  access  to  or
disclosure of such data in our possession or control occurs or we otherwise fail to comply with applicable
laws  and  regulations  in  this  regard,  we  could  be  exposed  to  civil  or  criminal  enforcement  actions  and
penalties in connection with any violation of applicable data protection laws, as well as lawsuits brought by

42

our customers, our customers’ customers, their clients or others for breaching contractual confidentiality
and  security  provisions  or  data  protection  laws.  Laws  and  expectations  relating  to  data  protections
continue to evolve in ways that may limit our access, use and disclosure of sensitive data, and may require
increased expenditures by us or may dictate that we not offer  certain types of  services.

In addition, many of our agreements with our clients do not include any limitation on our liability to
them with respect to breaches of our obligation to keep the information we receive from them confidential.
Although  we  have  general  liability  insurance  coverage,  including  coverage  for  errors  or  omissions,  there
can be no assurance that coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be sufficient in
amount to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future
claim.  The  successful  assertion  of  one  or  more  large  claims  against  us  that  exceed  available  insurance
coverage  or  changes  in  our  insurance  policies,  including  premium  increases  or  the  imposition  of  large
deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Our  failure  to  anticipate  rapid  changes  in  technology  may  negatively  affect  demand  for  our  services  in  the
marketplace.

Our  success  will  depend,  in  part,  on  our  ability  to  develop  and  implement  business  and  technology
solutions  that  anticipate  rapid  and  continuing  changes  in  technology,  industry  standards  and  client
preferences.  We  may  not  be  successful  in  anticipating  or  responding  to  these  developments  on  a  timely
basis, which may negatively affect demand for our solutions in the marketplace. Also, if our competitors
respond faster than we do to changes in technology, industry standards and client preferences, we may lose
business  and  our  services  may  become  less  competitive  or  obsolete.  Any  one  or  a  combination  of  these
circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain and successfully complete client
engagements.

Interruptions or delays in service from our third-party providers could impair our global delivery model, which
could result in client dissatisfaction and  a reduction of our revenue.

We  depend  upon  third  parties  to  provide  a  high-speed  network  of  active  voice  and  data
communications  24  hours  per  day  and  various  satellite  and  optical  links  between  our  global  delivery
centers and our clients. Consequently, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems
with  the  equipment  or  at  the  facilities  of  these  third-party  providers  could  result  in  unanticipated
interruptions in the delivery of our services. For example, we may not be able to maintain active voice and
data  communications  between  our  global  delivery  centers  and  our  clients’  sites  at  all  times  due  to
disruptions  in  these  networks,  system  failures  or  virus  attacks.  Any  significant  loss  in  our  ability  to
communicate or any impediments to any IT professional’s ability to provide services to our clients could
result in a disruption to our business, which could hinder our performance or our ability to complete client
projects  in  a  timely  manner.  This,  in  turn,  could  lead  to  substantial  liability  to  our  clients,  client
dissatisfaction,  loss  of  revenue  and  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  our  operating  results  and
financial  condition.  We  cannot  assure  you  that  our  business  interruption  insurance  will  adequately
compensate our clients or us for losses that may occur. Even if covered by insurance, any failure or breach
of security of our systems could damage our reputation and cause us  to  lose clients.

Some of our client contracts contain restrictions or penalty provisions that, if triggered, could result in lower future
revenue and decrease our profitability.

We  have entered in the past, and may  in the future enter, into  contracts  that contain  restrictions or
penalty provisions that, if triggered, may adversely affect our operating results. For instance, some of our
client  contracts  provide  that,  during  the  term  of  the  contract  and  for  a  certain  period  thereafter  ranging
from  six  to  twelve  months,  we  may  not  use  the  same  personnel  to  provide  similar  services  to  any  of  the
client’s competitors. This restriction may hamper our ability to compete for and provide services to clients
in the same industry. In addition, some contracts contain provisions that would require us to pay penalties
or liquidated damages to our clients if we do not meet pre-agreed service level requirements. If any of the
foregoing  were  to  occur,  our  future  revenue  and  profitability  under  these  contracts  could  be  materially
harmed.

43

Our contractual limitations on liability  with  our clients and  third parties may not be enforceable.

Under  a  majority  of  our  agreements  with  our  clients,  our  liability  for  breach  of  certain  of  our
obligations  is  generally  limited  to  actual  damages  suffered  by  the  client  and  is  typically  capped  at  the
greater  of  an  agreed  amount  or  the  fees  paid  or  payable  to  us  for  a  period  of  time  under  the  relevant
agreement. These limitations and caps on liability may be unenforceable or otherwise may not protect us
from liability for damages. In addition, certain liabilities, such as claims of third parties for which we may
be  required  to  indemnify  our  clients  or  liability  for  breaches  of  confidentiality,  are  generally  not  limited
under  those  agreements.  Our  agreements  are  governed  by  laws  of  multiple  jurisdictions,  therefore  the
interpretation of such provisions, and the availability of defenses to us, may vary, which may contribute to
the  uncertainty  as  to  the  scope  of  our  potential  liability.  In  addition,  many  of  our  agreements  with  our
clients do not include any limitation on our liability to them with respect to breaches of our obligation to
keep  the information we receive from them confidential.

Our services may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may subject us to legal liability, harm
our reputation, prevent us from offering  some  services to our clients or distract management.

We cannot be sure that our services or the deliverables that we develop and create for our clients do
not  infringe  on  the  intellectual  property  rights  of  third  parties  and  infringement  claims  may  be  asserted
against us or our clients. As the number of patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in our
industry increase, we believe that companies in our industry will face more frequent infringement claims.
These claims may harm our reputation, distract management, increase costs and prevent us from offering
some services to our clients. Historically, we have generally agreed to indemnify our clients for all expenses
and  liabilities  resulting  from  infringement  of  intellectual  property  rights  of  third  parties  based  on  the
services  and  deliverables  that  we  have  performed  and  provided  to  our  clients.  In  some  instances,  the
amount of these indemnities may be greater than the revenue we receive from the client. In addition, as a
result of intellectual property litigation, we may be required to stop selling, incorporating or using products
that use or incorporate the infringed intellectual property. We may be required to obtain a license or pay a
royalty to make, sell or use the relevant technology from the owner of the infringed intellectual property.
Such licenses or royalties may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We may also be
required to redesign our services or change our methodologies so as not to use the infringed intellectual
property,  which  may  not  be  technically  or  commercially  feasible  and  may  cause  us  to  expend  significant
resources. Subject to certain limitations, under our indemnification obligations to our clients, we may also
have to provide refunds to our clients to the extent that we must require them to cease using an infringing
deliverable if we are unable to provide a work-around or acquire a license to permit use of the infringing
deliverable that we had provided to them as part of a service engagement. If we are obligated to make any
such  refunds  or  dedicate  time  to  provide  alternatives  or  acquire  a  license  to  the  infringing  intellectual
property, our business and financial condition  could be materially adversely affected.

The  loss  of  key  members  of  our  senior  management  team  may  prevent  us  from  executing  our  business  strategy.

Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and performance of key
members of our senior management team. Our growth and success depends to a significant extent on our
ability to retain Kris Canekeratne, our chief executive officer, who is a founder of our company and has led
the  growth,  operation,  culture  and  strategic  direction  of  our  business  since  its  inception.  The  loss  of  his
services or the services of other key members of our senior management could seriously harm our ability to
execute  our  business  strategy.  Although  we  have  entered  into  agreements  with  our  executive  officers
providing for severance and change in control benefits to them, each of our executive officers or other key
employees could terminate employment with us at any time. We also may have to incur significant costs in
identifying, hiring, training and retaining replacements for key employees. The loss of any member of our
senior  management  team  might  significantly  delay  or  prevent  the  achievement  of  our  business  or

44

development  objectives  and  could  materially  harm  our  business.  We  do  not  maintain  key  man  life
insurance on any of our team members.

Risks related to our Indian and Sri Lankan operations

Political instability or changes in the central or state governments in India could result in the change of several
policies  relating  to  foreign  direct  investment  and  repatriation  of  capital  and  dividends.  Further,  changes  in  the
monetary and economic policies could adversely affect economic conditions in India generally and our business in
particular.

We  have  subsidiaries  in  India  and  a  significant  portion  of  our  business,  fixed  assets  and  human
resources are located in India. As a result, our business is affected by foreign exchange rates and controls,
interest  rates,  local  regulations,  changes  in  government  policy,  taxation,  social  and  civil  unrest  and  other
political, economic or other developments in or affecting India. Since 1991, successive Indian governments
have pursued policies of economic liberalization. In the past, the Indian economy has experienced many of
the  problems  that  commonly  confront  the  economies  of  developing  countries,  including  high  inflation,
erratic  gross  domestic  product  growth  and  shortages  of  foreign  exchange.  The  Indian  government  has
exercised,  and  continues  to  exercise,  significant  influence  over  many  aspects  of  the  Indian  economy  and
Indian government actions concerning the economy could have a material adverse effect on private sector
entities  like  us.  In  the  past,  the  Indian  government  has  provided  significant  tax  incentives  and  relaxed
certain  regulatory  restrictions  in  order  to  encourage  foreign  investment  in  specified  sectors  of  the
economy, including the software development services industry. Programs that have benefited us include,
among  others,  tax  holidays,  liberalized  import  and  export  duties  and  preferential  rules  on  foreign
investment. Notwithstanding these benefits, as noted above, India’s central and state governments remain
significantly  involved  in  the  Indian  economy  as  regulators.  In  recent  years,  the  Indian  government  has
introduced  non-income  related  taxes,  including  the  fringe  benefit  tax  (which  was  repealed  as  of  April  1,
2009)  and  General  Sales  Taxes  (‘‘GST’’),  and  income-related  taxes,  including  the  Minimum  Alternative
Tax.  In  addition,  a  change  in  government  leadership  in  India  or  change  in  policies  of  the  existing
government in India that results in the elimination of any of the benefits realized by us from our Indian
operations  or  the  imposition  of  new  taxes  applicable  to  such  operations  could  have  a  material  adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For instance, certain changes to the
application  of  the  Minimum  Alternative  Tax  with  respect  to  Special  Economic  Zone  (‘‘SEZ’’)  units  may
negatively  impact  our  cash  flows  and  other  benefits  enjoyed  by  us  which  could  have  a  material  adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Changes  in  the  policies  or  political  stability  of  the  government  of  Sri  Lanka  could  adversely  affect  economic
conditions in Sri Lanka, which could adversely affect our  business.

Our  subsidiary  in  Sri  Lanka  has  been  approved  as  an  export  computer  software  developer  by  the
Board  of  Investment  (‘‘BOI’’)  in  Sri  Lanka,  which  is  a  statutory  body  organized  to  facilitate  foreign
investment  into  Sri  Lanka  and  grant  concessions  and  benefits  to  entities  with  which  it  has  entered  into
agreements. Pursuant to our current agreement with the BOI, our Sri Lankan subsidiary is entitled to an
exemption  from  income  taxation  on  export  revenue  for  a  period  of  12  years  expiring  on  March  31,  2019
provided that certain job creation and retention requirements were met by March 31, 2017. We believe we
have achieved the job criteria and have notified the BOI. The BOI, on review, could challenge our hiring
commitments in which case we would have to forego part of the 12 year tax holiday. Further, government
policies  relating  to  taxation  other  than  on  income  would  also  have  an  impact  on  the  subsidiary,  and  the
political,  economic  or  social  factors  in  Sri  Lanka  may  affect  these  policies.  Historically,  past  incumbent
governments  have  followed  policies  of  economic  liberalization.  However,  we  cannot  assure  you  that  the
current government or future governments will continue these liberal policies.

45

Regional conflicts or terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war in the United States, the United Kingdom,
India, Sri Lanka, or other regions could adversely affect financial markets, resulting in loss of client confidence and
our ability to serve our clients which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

The  Asian  region  has  from  time  to  time  experienced  instances  of  civil  unrest  and  hostilities  among
neighboring  countries,  including  between  India  and  Pakistan.  Since  May  1999,  military  confrontations
between India and Pakistan have occurred in Kashmir. Also, there have been military hostilities and civil
unrest in Iraq and Afghanistan. Terrorist attacks, such as the ones that occurred in Brussels in March 2016,
Paris  in  November  2015,  Boston  on  April  15,  2013,  New  York  and  Washington,  D.C.,  on  September  11,
2001, New Delhi on December 13, 2001, Bali on October 12, 2002, London on July 7, 2005, and Mumbai
on  November  26,  2008,  civil  or  political  unrest  and  military  hostilities  in  Sri  Lanka  and  other  acts  of
violence  or  war,  including  those  involving  India,  Sri  Lanka,  the  United  States,  the  United  Kingdom  or
other countries, may adversely affect U.S., U.K. and worldwide financial markets. Prospective clients may
wish  to  visit  several  of  our  facilities,  including  our  global  delivery  centers  in  India  or  Sri  Lanka,  prior  to
reaching  a  decision  on  vendor  selection.  Terrorist  threats,  attacks  and  international  conflicts  could  make
travel more difficult and cause potential clients to delay, postpone or cancel decisions to use our services.
In  addition,  such  attacks  may  have  an  adverse  impact  on  our  ability  to  operate  effectively  and  interrupt
lines  of  communication  and  restrict  our  offshore  resources  from  traveling  onsite  to  client  locations,
effectively  curtailing  our  ability  to  deliver  our  services  to  our  clients.  These  obstacles  may  increase  our
expenses and negatively affect our operating results. In addition, military activity, terrorist attacks, political
tensions  between  India  and  Pakistan  and,  historically,  conflicts  within  Sri  Lanka,  despite  the  current
cessation of hostilities, could create a greater perception that the acquisition of services from companies
with significant Indian or Sri Lankan operations involves a higher degree of risk that could adversely affect
client  confidence  in  India  or  Sri  Lanka  as  a  software  development  center,  each  of  which  would  have  a
material adverse effect on our business.

Our net income may decrease if the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, India,
Sri Lanka, Germany, Singapore, Sweden or Hungary adjust the amount of our taxable income by challenging our
transfer pricing policies.

Our  subsidiaries  conduct  intercompany  transactions  among  themselves  and  with  the  U.S.  parent
company on an arm’s-length basis in accordance with U.S. and local country transfer pricing regulations.
The jurisdictions in which we operate could challenge our determination of arm’s-length profit and issue
tax assessments. Although the United States has income tax treaties with most countries in which we have
operations, which should alleviate the risk of double taxation, the costs to appeal any such tax assessment
and potential interest and penalties could  decrease our  earnings and  cash  flows.

The  Indian  taxing  authorities  issued  assessment  orders  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2004  to
March 31, 2014 of our Indian subsidiary, Virtusa (India) Private Limited, now merged with and into our
affiliate,  Virtusa  Consulting  Services  Private  Limited  and  Virtusa  Software  Services  Private  Limited
(referred to as ‘‘Virtusa India’’). At issue in these assessments were several matters, the most significant of
which was the redetermination of the arm’s-length profit related to intercompany transactions. For fiscal
year ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, we contested both assessments and also filed appeals with Indian tax
authorities and U.S. Competent Authorities. Although we have settled certain tax obligations for the fiscal
years  ended  March  31,  2004  and  2005,  we  have  appealed  certain  other  tax  related  matters  affecting  our
fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2004  and  2005  with  the  Indian  tax  authorities.  During  the  fiscal  year  ended
March  31,  2005,  we  have  appealed  the  redetermination  of  arm  length  pricing  for  transactions  with  our
U.K. subsidiary. Although we have successfully resolved some issues we continue to appeal several other
fiscal years’ assessments with the Indian tax authorities. If we do not prevail in our appeals, we may incur
an  additional  legal  liability  and  obligations  to  pay  additional  interest,  penalties  and  costs  related  to  such
matters.

46

Our net income may decrease if the governments of India or Sri Lanka levy new taxes or reduce or withdraw tax
benefits and other incentives provided to us.

Virtusa India is an export-oriented company under the Indian Income Tax Act of 1961 and is entitled
to  claim  tax  exemption  for  each  Software  Technology  Park  (‘‘STP’’),  which  it  operates.  Virtusa  India
historically  has  operated  STPs  in  Hyderabad  and  in  Chennai.  The  income  tax  benefits  of  the  STP  in
Hyderabad  and  Chennai  expired  on  March  31,  2010  and  2011,  respectively.  Historically,  however,
substantially all of the earnings of both STPs qualified as tax- exempt export profits. Although we believe
we  have  complied  with  and  were  eligible  for  the  STP  holidays,  the  government  of  India  may  deem  us
ineligible for the STP holiday or make adjustments to the profit level in previous tax years, subject to the
applicable statute of limitations, which could result in additional legal liability, including obligations to pay
additional  taxes,  penalties,  interest  and  other  costs  arising  out  of  such  matter.  For  instance,  the  Indian
taxing  authorities  issued  an  assessment  order  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2007  against  Virtusa
India related to the denial of all STP benefits for our Chennai STP on the basis that the STP was formed
by the splitting up or the reconstruction of our Hyderabad STP. This matter is currently pending before the
High  Court  of  Hyderabad.  We  have  filed  appeals  with  the  appropriate  Indian  tax  authorities  to  appeal
other years. We may incur additional legal liability and obligations to pay additional interest, penalties and
costs related to such matter. We have appealed such assessments but we can make no assurance that our
appeals will be successful.

We have located most of our Indian operations in areas designated as a SEZ, under the SEZ Act of
2005. In particular, we are continuing our build out of a facility on a 6.3 acre parcel of land in Hyderabad,
India that has been designated as a SEZ. In addition, we have leased space and operate in SEZ designated
locations in Bangalore, Pune and Chennai, India. Although our profits from the SEZ operations would be
eligible  for  certain  income  tax  exemptions  for  a  period  up  to  15  years,  we  may  not  be  able  to  take  full
advantage of the tax holidays in each SEZ if we are not able to grow our operations, including the hiring of
IT professionals into the SEZ facilities, and there is no guarantee that we will secure SEZ status for any
other  future  locations  in  India.  Additionally,  the  government  of  India  may  deem  us  ineligible  for  a  SEZ
holiday  or  make  adjustments  to  the  transfer  pricing  profit  levels  resulting  in  an  overall  increase  in  our
effective tax rate.

In addition, our Sri Lankan subsidiary, Virtusa Private Ltd. (‘‘Virtusa SL’’), was approved as an export
computer  software  developer  by  the  BOI  in  1998  and  has  been  granted  a  tax  holiday.  Virtusa  SL  has
negotiated various extensions and new arrangements of the original holiday period in exchange for further
capital investments in Sri Lanka facilities. The most recent 12-year tax holiday agreement, which is set to
expire  on  March  31,  2019,  requires  that  we  meet  certain  new  job  creation,  retention  and  investment
criteria.  As  of  March  31,  2018,  we  believe  we  have  met  the  job  creation  target.  We  have  submitted  the
required details to BOI and are awaiting their confirmation. At March 31, 2018, we were eligible for the
entire  12-year  tax  holiday.  Further,  the  Sri  Lankan  Department  of  Inland  Revenue  has  challenged  the
eligibility  of  the  initial  year  of  our  granted  tax  holiday.  This  challenge  was  affirmed  by  the  Tax  Appeals
Commission  based  on  their  judgment  that  we  did  not  meet  the  required  investment  commitments.
However, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, we received notice from the BOI certifying the tax
holiday  for  all  previously  claimed  years,  including  the  initial  year  under  challenge.  If  any  such  tax
assessment were ruled against us, such a ruling may materially harm our business, operating results, and
financial results and materially reduce  our  profitability.

Wage  pressures  and  increases  in  government  mandated  benefits  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka  may  reduce  our  profit
margins.

Wage  costs  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka  have  historically  been  significantly  lower  than  wage  costs  in  the
United  States  and  Europe  for  comparably-skilled  professionals.  However,  wages  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka
are increasing, which will result in increased costs for IT professionals, particularly project managers and
other mid-level professionals. We may need to increase the levels of our team member compensation more

47

rapidly than in the past to remain competitive without the ability to make corresponding increases to our
billing rates. Compensation increases may reduce our profit margins, make us less competitive in pricing
potential  projects  against  those  companies  with  lower  cost  resources  and  otherwise  harm  our  business,
operating results and financial condition.

In  addition,  we  contribute  to  benefit  funds  covering  our  employees  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka  as
mandated by the Indian and Sri Lankan governments. Benefits are based on the team members’ years of
service and compensation. If the governments of India and/or Sri Lanka were to legislate increases to the
benefits required under these plans or mandate additional benefits, our profitability and cash flows would
be reduced.

Our  facilities  are  at  risk  of  damage  by  earthquakes,  tsunamis,  flooding  and  climate  change  induced  natural
disasters

In December 2004, Sri Lanka and India were struck by multiple tsunamis that devastated certain areas
of both countries. Our Indian and Sri Lankan facilities are also located in regions that are susceptible to
tsunamis.  Flooding  and  other  natural  disasters  related  to  climate  change  may  increase  the  risk  of
disruption of information systems and telephone services for sustained periods. In the recent past, Chennai
and Sri Lanka have both been affected by floods. In December 2015, Chennai, India suffered one of the
worst flooding and rains in the history of Chennai which shut down our facilities, had a negative impact on
our  operations  and  client  engagements,  and  triggered  our  business  continuity  plans  where  we  tried  to
mitigate the impact to our clients, employees and our business. In 2016 and 2017, Sri Lanka was affected
by  floods,  which  did  not  impact  our  operations  directly,  but  did  impact  our  employees.  Damage  or
destruction  that  interrupts  our  ability  to  deliver  our  services  could  damage  our  relationships  with  our
clients and may cause us to incur substantial additional expenses to repair or replace damaged equipment
or facilities. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all such expenses. Furthermore, we may
be unable to secure such insurance coverage or to secure such insurance coverage at premiums acceptable
to  us  in  the  future.  Prolonged  disruption  of  our  services  as  a  result  of  natural  disasters  may  cause  our
clients to terminate their contracts with us and may result in project delays, project cancellations and loss
of  substantial  revenue  to  us.  Prolonged  disruptions  may  also  harm  our  team  members  or  cause  them  to
relocate, which could have a material  adverse effect on  our business.

The laws of India and Sri Lanka do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as those of the United
States and we may be unsuccessful in protecting our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of our intellectual
property rights may result in loss of clients  and increased competition.

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary methodologies, trade secrets
and  other  intellectual  property.  We  rely  upon  a  combination  of  trade  secrets,  confidentiality  policies,
non-disclosure agreements, other contractual arrangements and copyright, patent, and trademark laws to
protect  our  intellectual  property  rights.  However,  existing  laws  of  India  and  Sri  Lanka  do  not  provide
protection of intellectual property rights to the same extent as provided in the United States. The steps we
take  to  protect  our  intellectual  property  may  not  be  adequate  to  prevent  or  deter  infringement  or  other
unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Thus, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use or take
appropriate  and  timely  steps  to  enforce  our  intellectual  property  rights.  Our  competitors  may  be  able  to
imitate or duplicate our services or methodologies. The unauthorized use or duplication of our intellectual
property  could  disrupt  our  ongoing  business,  distract  our  management  and  team  members,  reduce  our
revenue and increase our costs and expenses. We may need to litigate to enforce our intellectual property
rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could
be extremely time-consuming and costly and could materially adversely  impact our  business.

Risks related to our common stock

The market price of our common stock may  fluctuate  significantly.

The market price of our common stock has at times experienced substantial price volatility as a result
of  variations  between  our  actual  and  anticipated  financial  results,  announcements  by  us  and  our
competitors,  projections  or  speculation  about  our  business  or  that  of  our  competitors  by  the  media  or
investment analysts or uncertainty about current global economic conditions. The stock market, as a whole,
also  has  experienced  extreme  price  and  volume  fluctuations  that  have  affected  the  market  price  of  the
common  stock  of  many  technology  companies  in  ways  that  may  have  been  unrelated  to  such  companies’
operating  performance.  Furthermore,  we  believe  the  market  price  of  our  common  stock  should  reflect
future growth and profitability expectations. If we fail to meet these expectations, the market price of our
common stock may significantly decline.

In  addition,  there  are  many  other  factors  that  may  cause  the  market  price  of  our  common  stock  to

fluctuate, including:

(cid:129) actual  or  anticipated  variations  in  our  quarterly  operating  results,  including  fluctuations  resulting
from  changes  in  foreign  exchange  rates  or  acquisitions  by  us,  or  the  quarterly  financial  results  of
companies perceived to be similar to us

(cid:129) deterioration and decline in general economic,  industry and/or market conditions

(cid:129) announcements  of technological innovations  or new  services by  us or our competitors

(cid:129) changes in estimates of our financial results or recommendations  by market  analysts

(cid:129) announcements  by  us  or  our  competitors  of  significant  projects,  contracts,  acquisitions,  strategic

alliances or joint ventures

(cid:129) changes  in  our  capital  structure,  such  as  future  issuances  of  securities  or  the  incurrence  of

additional debt

(cid:129) regulatory  developments  in  the  United  States,  the  United  Kingdom,  India,  Sri  Lanka  or  other

countries in which we operate or have clients

(cid:129) litigation involving our company, our  general  industry  or both

(cid:129) additions or departures of key team members

(cid:129) investors’ general perception of us

(cid:129) changes in the market valuations of other IT service providers

If  any  of  the  foregoing  occurs  or  continues  to  occur,  it  could  cause  our  stock  price  to  fall  and  may
expose us to securities class action litigation. Any securities class action litigation could result in substantial
costs  and  the  diversion  of  management’s  attention  and  resources.  Many  of  these  factors  are  beyond  our
control.

Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law may prevent or delay a change of control of us and
could also limit the  market price of our  common  stock.

Certain provisions of Delaware law and of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could have the
effect  of  making  it  more  difficult  for  a  third  party  to  acquire,  or  of  discouraging  a  third  party  from
attempting  to  acquire,  control  of  us,  even  if  such  a  change  in  control  would  be  beneficial  to  our
stockholders  or  result  in  a  premium  for  your  shares  of  our  common  stock.  These  provisions  may  also

49

prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. These provisions
include:

(cid:129) a classified board of directors

(cid:129) limitations on the removal of directors

(cid:129) advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals  and  nominations

(cid:129) the inability of stockholders to act  by written consent or  to call special meetings

(cid:129) the ability of our board of directors to make, alter or repeal our by-laws

The  affirmative  vote  of  the  holders  of  at  least  75%  of  our  shares  of  capital  stock  entitled  to  vote  is
necessary to amend or repeal the above provisions that are contained in our certificate of incorporation. In
addition, our board of directors has the ability to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred
stock without stockholder approval. Also, absent approval of our board of directors, our by-laws may only
be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of our shares of capital stock
entitled to vote.

In  addition,  we  are  subject  to  the  provisions  of  Section  203  of  the  Delaware  General  Corporation
Law, which limits business combination transactions with stockholders of 15% or more of our outstanding
voting  stock  that  our  board  of  directors  has  not  approved.  These  provisions  and  other  similar  provisions
make  it  more  difficult  for  stockholders  or  potential  acquirers  to  acquire  us  without  negotiation.  These
provisions may apply even if some stockholders may consider the transaction beneficial  to  them.

These provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our
common  stock.  These  provisions  might  also  discourage  a  potential  acquisition  proposal  or  tender  offer,
even if the acquisition proposal or tender offer is at a premium over the then current market price for our
common stock.

In  March  2008,  we  entered  into  a  99-year  lease,  as  amended  in  August  2008,  with  an  option  for  an
additional 99 years for approximately 6.3 acres of land in Hyderabad, India, where we have built a campus
of approximately 325,000 square feet, and in relation with the Polaris acquisition we own 597,150 square
feet in India which is also listed in the  above table under  ‘‘Square Footage Owned’’.

Windsor, Connecticut, Canada, Hungary, and Malaysia. These leases vary in duration and have expiration
dates ranging from one year to eleven  years.

We believe that our existing and planned facilities are adequate to support our existing operations and
that, as needed, we will be able to obtain suitable additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the
opinion  of  our  management,  the  outcome  of  such  claims  and  legal  actions,  if  decided  adversely,  is  not
currently  expected  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  operating  results,  cash  flows  or  consolidated
financial position.

Dividend Policy

We  have  never  declared  or  paid  any  cash  dividends  on  our  common  stock.  We  currently  expect  to
retain  future  earnings,  if  any,  to  finance  the  growth  and  development  of  our  business  and  we  do  not
anticipate  paying  any  cash  dividends  in  the  foreseeable  future.  We  intend  to  permanently  reinvest  our
foreign earnings. Our line of credit with a bank could restrict, or our terms of convertible preferred stock
could impair, our ability to declare or  make any dividends or  similar distributions.

Recent  Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of  Proceeds from  Registered Securities

Except  for  sales  of  unregistered  securities  that  have  been  previously  reported  by  the  Company  in
either  its  quarterly  reports  on  Form  10-Q  or  current  reports  on  Form  8-K,  there  were  no  sales  of
unregistered securities of the Company during the period covered  by this  Report.

Issuer  Purchases of Equity Securities

Under the terms of our 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (‘‘2007 Plan’’) and 2015 Stock Option
and Incentive Plan (‘‘2015 Plan’’), we have issued shares of restricted stock to our employees. On the date
that  these  restricted  shares  vest,  we  automatically  withhold,  via  a  net  exercise  provision  pursuant  to  our
applicable restricted stock agreements and the 2007 Plan and 2015 Plan, as the case may be, the number of
vested shares (based on the closing price of our common stock on such vesting date) equal to tax liability
owed by such grantee. The shares withheld from the grantees under the 2007 Plan or the 2015 Plan, as the
case may be, to settle their tax liability are reallocated to the number of shares available for issuance under
the  2015  Plan.  For  the  three  month  period  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  withheld  an  aggregate  of  92,966
shares of restricted stock at a price of  $47.53 per share.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis  of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations should be
read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements
included  elsewhere  in  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K.  The  following  discussion  contains  forward-looking
statements.  Actual  results  may  differ  significantly  from  those  projected  in  the  forward-looking  statements.
Factors  that  might  cause  future  results  to  differ  materially  from  those  projected  in  the  forward-looking
statements  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  those  discussed  in  ‘‘Risk  Factors’’  and  elsewhere  in  this  Annual
Report.

Business  overview

Virtusa Corporation (the ‘‘Company’’, ‘‘Virtusa’’, ‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’) is a global provider of digital
engineering and information technology (‘‘IT’’) outsourcing services that accelerate business outcomes for
our clients. We support Forbes Global 2000 clients across large, consumer facing industries like banking,
financial  services  insurance  healthcare,  communications,  and  media  and  entertainment,  as  these  clients
seek  to  improve  their  business  performance  through  accelerating  revenue  growth,  delivering  compelling
consumer  experiences,  improving  operational  efficiencies,  and  lowering  overall  IT  costs.  We  provide
services across the entire spectrum of the IT services lifecycle, from strategy and consulting, to technology
and  user  experience  (‘‘UX’’)  design,  development  of  IT  applications,  systems  integration,  testing  and
business assurance, and maintenance and support services, including infrastructure and managed services.
We  help  our  clients  solve  critical  business  problems  by  leveraging  a  combination  of  our  distinctive
consulting  approach,  unique  platforming  methodology,  and  deep  domain  and  technology  expertise.  Our

through a global delivery model, applying advanced methods such as Agile, an industry standard technique
designed to accelerate application development. We also use our consulting methodology, which we refer
to as Accelerated Solution Design (‘‘ASD’’), which is a collaborative decision-making and  design process
performed with the client, to ensure our solutions meet the client’s specifications and requirements. Our
industry leading business transformational solutions combine deep domain expertise with our strengths in
software engineering and business consulting to support our clients’ business imperative initiatives across

Australia  and  New  Zealand,  with  global  delivery  centers  in  India,  Sri  Lanka,  Hungary,  Singapore  and
Malaysia, as well as near shore delivery  centers in the  United States.

To  strengthen  our  digital  engineering  capabilities  and  establish  a  solid  base  in  Silicon  Valley,  on
March  12,  2018,  we  entered  into  an  equity  purchase  agreement  by  and  among  the  Company,  eTouch
Systems  Corp.  (‘‘eTouch  US’’)  and  each  of  the  equity  holders  of  eTouch  US  to  acquire  all  of  the
outstanding shares of eTouch US, and certain of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries entered into an share
purchase agreement by and among those Company subsidiaries, eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd (‘‘eTouch
India,’’  together  with  eTouch  US,  ‘‘eTouch’’)  and  the  equityholders  of  eTouch  India  to  acquire  all  of  the
outstanding shares of eTouch India.

Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement and the share purchase agreement, on March 12,
2018,  we  acquired  all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  eTouch  US  and  eTouch  India  for  approximately
$140.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with up to an additional $15.0 million set aside for
retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management and key employees, in equal installments on the first
and  second  anniversary  of  the  transaction.  The  purchase  price  will  be  paid  in  three  tranches  with
$80.0 million paid at closing, $42.5 million on the 12-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, and

55

$17.5 million on the 18-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, subject in each case to certain
adjustments.

On  March  3,  2016,  to  create  a  unique,  fully  integrated  provider  of  comprehensive  solutions  and
services across the banking and financial services industry, expand our addressable market, and enable us
to pursue larger consulting and outsourcing contracts, our Indian subsidiary acquired approximately 51.7%
of  the  fully  diluted  shares  of  Polaris  Consulting  &  Services  Limited  (‘‘Polaris’’)  for  approximately
$168.3  million  in  cash  (the  ‘‘Polaris  Transaction’’)  pursuant  to  a  share  purchase  agreement  dated  as  of
November 5, 2015, by and among our Indian subsidiary, Polaris and the promoter sellers named therein.
On  April  6,  2016,  in  connection  with  the  Polaris  Transaction,  we  completed  an  unconditional  mandatory
open offer (the ‘‘Mandatory Tender Offer’’) to purchase an additional 26% of the fully diluted outstanding
shares  of  Polaris  from  Polaris’  public  shareholders  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  approximately
$89.1  million  (Indian  rupees  5,935  million).  Upon  the  closing  of  the  Mandatory  Tender  Offer,  our
ownership interest in Polaris increased from approximately 51.7% to 77.7% of Polaris’ fully diluted shares
outstanding,  and  from  approximately  52.9%  to  78.8%  of  Polaris’  basic  shares  outstanding.  In  order  to
comply with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers, during the three months ended December 31, 2016,
we  sold  3.7%  of  our  shares  of  Polaris  common  stock  through  a  public  offering  for  approximately
$7.6  million  in  proceeds,  net  of  $0.2  million  in  brokerage  fees  and  taxes,  which  reduced  our  ownership
interest in Polaris from 78.6% to 74.9% of Polaris’ basic shares of  common stock outstanding.

In  connection  with  our  acquisition  of  Polaris,  on  October  26,  2017,  we  announced  our  intention  to
commence  through  our  Indian  subsidiary,  a  process  that  could  lead  to  the  delisting  of  our  Indian
subsidiary, Polaris, from all stock exchanges on which Polaris’ common shares are listed. On February 12,
2018,  we  consummated  the  Polaris  delisting  offer  with  respect  to  the  public  shareholders  of  Polaris  in
accordance with the provisions of the SEBI Delisting Regulations, which resulted in an accepted exit price
of  INR  480  per  share  (‘‘Exit  Price’’),  for  an  aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $145.0  million,
exclusive  of  transaction  and  closing  costs,  resulting  in  Virtusa  India  increasing  its  ownership  interest  in
Polaris from approximately 74% to approximately 93% of the share capital of Polaris. Upon receipt of final
approvals  from  the  stock  exchanges  on  which  Polaris  is  traded,  the  common  shares  of  Polaris  will  be
delisted  from  all  public  exchanges  on  which  the  Polaris  shares  are  traded.  For  a  period  of  one  year
following  the  date  of  the  delisting  from  all  stock  exchanges  on  which  Polaris  common  shares  are  listed,
Virtusa  India  will  permit,  in  compliance  with  SEBI  Delisting  Regulations,  the  public  shareholders  of
Polaris  to  tender  their  shares  for  sale  to  Virtusa  India  at  the  Exit  Price.  If  all  the  remaining  shares  of
Polaris  are  tendered  at  the  Exit  Price,  we  would  pay  an  additional  consideration  of  approximately
$56.0 million.

In connection with, and as part of the Polaris acquisition, on November 5, 2015, we entered into an
amendment with Citigroup Technology, Inc. (‘‘Citi’’) and Polaris, which became effective upon the closing
of  the  Polaris  Transaction,  pursuant  to  which,  (i)  Citi  agreed  to  appoint  the  Company  and  Polaris  as  a
preferred vendor for Global Technology Resource Strategy (‘‘GTRS’’) for the provision of IT services to
Citi  on  an  enterprise  wide  basis  (‘‘GTRS  Preferred  Vendor’’),  (ii)  the  Company  agreed  to  certain
productivity  savings  and  associated  reduced  spend  commitments  for  a  period  of  two  years,  which,  if  not
achieved,  would  require  the  Company  to  provide  certain  minimum  discounts  to  Citi  (which  is  now
satisfied),  (iii)  the  parties  amended  Polaris’  master  services  agreement  with  Citi  such  that  the  Company
would also be deemed a contracting party and the Company would assume, and agree to perform, or cause
Polaris  to  perform,  all  applicable  obligations  under  the  master  services  agreement,  as  amended  by  the
amendment  (the  ‘‘Citi/Virtusa  MSA’’),  and  (iv)  Virtusa  agreed  to  terminate  Virtusa’s  existing  master
services agreement with Citi, and have  the Citi/Virtusa MSA  be  the sole surviving agreement.

In  support  of  the  delisting  transaction  and  the  eTouch  acquisition,  on  February  6,  2018,  we  entered
into a $450.0 million credit agreement (‘‘Credit Agreement’’) with a syndicated bank group jointly lead by
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which amends and
restates our prior $300.0 million credit agreement (which we had originally entered into on February 25,

56

2016  (‘‘Prior  Credit  Agreement’’)  to  fund  the  Polaris  acquisition  and  Mandatory  Tender  Offer)  and
provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million term loan facility, and a $70.0 million
delayed-draw term loan. We drew down $180.0 million under the term loan of the Credit Agreement and
$55.0  million  under  the  revolving  credit  facility  under  the  Credit  Agreement  to  repay  in  full  the  amount
outstanding  under  the  Prior  Credit  Agreement  and  fund  the  Polaris  delisting  transaction.  On  March  12,
2018, we drew down the $70 million delayed draw to fund the eTouch acquisition. Interest under this new
credit  facility  accrues  at  a  rate  per  annum  of  LIBOR  plus  3.0%,  subject  to  step-downs  based  on  the
Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA. We intend to enter into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize
interest  rate  exposure.  The  Credit  Agreement  includes  maximum  debt  to  EBITDA  and  minimum  fixed
charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 6, 2023 (see
Note  11  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  further  information).  As  of  March  31,  2018,  the
outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement was $305.0 million.

On  May  3,  2017,  we  entered  into  an  investment  agreement  with  The  Orogen  Group  (‘‘Orogen’’)
pursuant to which Orogen purchased 108,000 shares of the Company’s newly issued Series A Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  initially  convertible  into  3,000,000  shares  of  common  stock,  for  an  aggregate  purchase
price of $108 million with an initial conversion price of $36.00 (the ‘‘Orogen Preferred Stock Financing’’).
In  connection  with  the  investment,  Vikram  S.  Pandit,  the  former  CEO  of  Citigroup,  was  appointed  to
Virtusa’s Board of Directors. Orogen is a new operating company that was created by Vikram Pandit and
Atairos Group, Inc., an independent private company focused on supporting growth-oriented businesses,
to  leverage  the  opportunities  created  by  the  evolution  of  the  financial  services  landscape  and  to  identify
and invest in financial services companies and related businesses with proven  business  models.

Under the terms of the investment, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a 3.875% dividend
per annum, payable quarterly in additional shares of common stock and/or cash at our option. If any shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have not been converted into common stock prior to May 3, 2024,
the  Company  will  be  required  to  repurchase  such  shares  at  a  repurchase  price  equal  to  the  liquidation
preference of the repurchased shares plus the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If we
fail to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will increase
by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of May 3, 2024 during the period
in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase
to more  than 6.875% per annum.

In connection with the investment, we repaid $81 million of our outstanding term loan under our Prior
Credit  Agreement,  and  our  board  of  directors  approved  the  repurchase  of  approximately  $30  million  of
our  common stock.

On  December  22,  2017,  the  U.S.  government  enacted  comprehensive  tax  legislation  commonly
referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (the ‘‘Tax Act’’). The Tax Act contains several key tax provisions
that will impact the Company, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective
January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also includes a variety of other changes, such as a one-time repatriation tax
on accumulated foreign earnings, a limitation on the tax deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of
business  asset  expensing,  and  reduction  in  the  amount  of  executive  pay  that  could  qualify  as  a  tax
deduction, among others. (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information)

At March 31, 2018, we had 20,491 employees, or team members, an increase from 17,750 at March 31,
2017.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  had  revenue  of  $1,020.7  million  and  income  from
operations  of  $46.4  million.  In  our  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  our  revenue  increased  by
$161.9  million,  or  18.9%,  to  $1,020.7  million,  as  compared  to  $858.7  million  in  our  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2017. Our net income decreased from $11.9 million in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 to a
net loss of $(2.7) million in our fiscal year  ended March  31, 2018.

57

The key drivers of the increase in revenue in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, as compared to our

fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, were  as follows:

(cid:129) Broad based growth, particularly in  our top ten  clients

(cid:129) Broad revenue growth in our industry groups, particularly  banking and  telecommunications

(cid:129) Revenue growth in all our geographies, led by Europe

The key drivers of our decrease in net income in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, as compared to

our  fiscal year ended March 31, 2017,  were as follows:

(cid:129) Substantial  increase  in  income  tax  expense  from  the  provisional  impact  of  the  Tax  Act  principally

related to the repatriation tax and re-measurement of deferred tax assets;

(cid:129) Substantial  increase  in  foreign  currency  transaction  losses,  primarily  due  to  depreciation  of  the

Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar;

partially offset by:

(cid:129) Higher  revenue,  particularly  in  our  top  ten  clients,  including  accelerated  growth  in  banking  and

telecommunications;

(cid:129) Increase  in  gross  profit  due  to  higher  revenue,  and  higher  gross  margin  driven  by  significantly

higher utilization;

(cid:129) Decrease in operating expense as a  percentage  of revenue,  reflecting a larger revenue base

High  repeat  business  and  client  concentration  are  common  in  our  industry.  During  the  fiscal  year
ended March 31, 2018, 96% of our revenue was derived from clients who had been using our services for
more  than  one  year.  Accordingly,  our  global  account  management  and  service  delivery  teams  focus  on
expanding  client  relationships  and  converting  new  engagements  to  long-term  relationships  to  generate
repeat  revenue  and  expand  revenue  streams  from  existing  clients.  We  also  have  a  dedicated  business
development team focused on generating engagements with new clients to continue to expand our client
base and, over time, reduce client concentration.

For  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  we  generated  56%,  59%,  and  54%,
respectively,  of  revenue  from  application  outsourcing  and  44%,  41%  and  46%,  respectively,  of  revenue
from consulting services. We perform our services under both time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts.
Revenue  from  fixed-price  contracts  was  41%,  43%,  and  39%  of  total  revenue  for  the  fiscal  years  ended
March  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  The  revenue  earned  from  fixed-price  contracts  reflects  our
clients’ preferences.

At March 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, which is

a non-GAAP measure, of $244.9 million, as compared to $237.0 million at March 31,  2017.

From  time  to  time,  we  have  also  supplemented  organic  revenue  growth  with  acquisitions.  These
acquisitions  have  focused  on  adding  domain  expertise,  expanding  our  professional  services  teams  and
expanding  our  client  base.  For  instance,  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  completed  the
acquisition of eTouch, which expands our digital solution offerings and for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2016,  we  acquired  Polaris,  which  expanded  our  banking  and  financial  services  offerings  and  domain
expertise as described above. We expect that for our long-term growth, from time to time, we will continue
to seek evolving market opportunities through  a combination of  organic growth and acquisitions.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, we expect the following factors, among others, to affect our

business and our operating results:

(cid:129) Demand from our clients, particularly for transformational solutions and outsourcing services

58

(cid:129) Ability  to  leverage  our  deep  domain  expertise  to  provide  digital  transformational  solutions  across

our  industry groups

(cid:129) Impact of an increased effective income tax  rate  as a result of Tax Act

(cid:129) Foreign currency volatility

For the fiscal year ending March 31,  2019,  we plan to:

(cid:129) Align our practices to provide digital transformation services across our core industry groups such
as  banking,  financial  services  and  insurance  (‘‘BFSI’’),  Communication  and  technology  (‘‘C&T’’)
and M&I

(cid:129) Invest  in  domain-led  transformational  solutions  within  core  verticals  like  banking,  healthcare,

insurance and telecommunications

(cid:129) Continue  our  focus  on  client  acquisition  and  expansion  of  revenue  gained  from  existing  clients,

particularly our non-top ten clients

(cid:129) Leverage  our  expertise  in  customer  experience  management,  business  process  management,  user

interface (‘‘UI’’)/user experience (‘‘UX’’) and SAP

(cid:129) Deepen  our  domain  expertise  in  our  service  offerings  related  to  enterprise  mobile  applications,
social media, gamification, big data analytics, robotics process automation, and cloud computing

(cid:129) Broaden  our  business  and  IT  consulting  and  solutions  capabilities  related  to  our  service  offerings

(cid:129) Continue to invest in our talent base, including new  onsite campus  recruitment programs

(cid:129) Implement  resource  and  operating  optimization  initiatives  to  continue  to  improve  operating

efficiencies

(cid:129) Deepen  our  solution  and  service  offerings  across  the  software  development  lifecycle,  including

application support and maintenance and independent  software quality-assurance

(cid:129) Continue to invest in new and existing  offshore delivery  centers, as  well as new geographies

(cid:129) Pursue  opportunistic  acquisitions  that  would  improve  or  broaden  our  overall  service  delivery

capabilities, domain expertise, and/or service offerings

As an IT services company, our revenue growth has been, and will continue to be, highly dependent
on  our  ability  to  attract,  develop,  motivate  and  retain  skilled  IT  professionals.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended
March  31,  2018,  we  finished  the  fiscal  year  with  a  total  headcount  of  20,491  as  compared  with  a  total
headcount  of  17,750  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017,  which  reflects  voluntary  and  involuntary
attrition. There is intense competition for IT professionals with the skills necessary to provide the type of
services  we  offer.  We  closely  monitor  our  overall  attrition  rates  and  patterns  to  ensure  our  people
management strategy aligns with our growth objectives. For the last twelve months ended March 31, 2018,
our  attrition  rate  reflects  voluntary  attrition  of  11.8%  and  involuntary  attrition  of  7.0%,  which  includes
3.4%  related  to  implementation  of  certain  cost  saving  and  restructuring  initiatives.  The  majority  of  our
attrition occurs in India and Sri Lanka, and is weighted towards the more junior members of our staff. In
response  to  higher  attrition  and  as  part  of  our  retention  strategies,  we  have  experienced  increases  in
compensation  and  benefit  costs,  which  may  continue  in  the  future.  However,  we  try  to  absorb  such  cost
increases through price increases or cost management strategies such as managing discretionary costs, the
mix  of  professional  staff  and  utilization  levels  and  achieving  other  operating  efficiencies.  If  our  attrition
rate increases or is sustained at higher levels, our growth may slow and our cost of attracting and retaining
IT professionals could increase.

We maintain a six quarter rolling and layering hedging program, which we believe has been effective
since  inception  at  reducing  the  impact  of  fluctuations  in  local  currencies  on  our  operating  results.  In

59

addition, we have a cash flow program designed to mitigate the impact of the volatility of the translation of
Polaris U.S. dollar denominated revenue into Indian rupees over a rolling and layering 18 month period,
although there is no assurance that this hedging program will continue to be effective. These hedges may
also  cause  us  to  forego  benefits  of  a  positive  currency  fluctuation,  especially  given  the  volatility  of  these
currencies. In addition, to the extent that these hedges cease to qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or
losses associated with those hedges would be recorded in other comprehensive income until the occurrence
of the underlying transaction and at that time the gains or losses would be recognized in the consolidated
statement of income in other income  (expense).

We  monitor a number of operating metrics to manage and assess our earnings,  including:

(cid:129) Days  sales  outstanding  (‘‘DSO’’)  is  a  measure  of  the  number  of  days  our  accounts  receivable  are
outstanding  based  upon  the  last  90  days  of  revenue  activity,  which  indicates  the  timeliness  of  our
cash collection from clients and our overall credit terms to our clients. As of March 31, 2018, our
DSO was 78 days compared to 80 days  as of March 31, 2017.

(cid:129) Realized billing rates are the rates we charge our clients for our services, which reflect the value our
clients place on our services, market competition and the geographic location in which we perform
our  services.  Our  realized  billing  rates  have  remained  relatively  consistent  subject  to  foreign
currency exchange fluctuation for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to our fiscal
year  ended  March  31,  2017.  Any  increase  in  realized  billing  rates  is  a  result  of  our  ability  to
successfully preserve or increase our  billing rates  with existing and/or new clients.

(cid:129) Average  cost  per  IT  professional  is  the  sum  of  team  member  salaries,  including  variable
compensation,  and  fringe  benefits,  divided  by  the  average  number  of  IT  professionals  during  the
period. We experienced an increase in our average cost per IT professional in our fiscal year ended
March  31,  2018  as  compared  to  our  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017,  primarily  driven  by
competition.

(cid:129) Utilization rate indicates the efficiency of our billable IT resources. Our utilization rate is defined as
the number of billable hours in a given period divided by the total number of available hours of our
IT  professionals  in  a  given  period,  excluding  trainees.  We  track  our  utilization  rates  to  measure
revenue potential and gross profit margins. Management’s target for the utilization rate is in the low
80%  range.  Our  utilization  rates  were  83%,  77%  and  82%  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,
2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The utilization rate is affected by the rate of quarterly sequential
revenue  growth,  as  well  as  ability  to  staff  existing  IT  professionals  on  billable  engagements.  In
growth  periods,  utilization  tends  to  rise  as  more  resources  are  deployed  to  meet  rising  demand.
Utilization  rates  above  the  targeted  range  may  also  indicate  that  there  are  insufficient  IT
professionals to staff existing or future engagements, which may result in loss of revenue or inability
to service client engagements.

(cid:129) Attrition rate is the ratio of terminated team members during the latest twelve months to the total
number  of  team  members  at  the  end  of  such  period,  which  measures  team  member  turnover.
Increased  voluntary  attrition  rates  result  in  increased  hiring,  training  and  on-boarding  costs  and
productivity  losses,  which  may  adversely  affect  our  revenue,  gross  margin  and  operating  profit
margin.  For  the  last  twelve  months  ended  March  31,  2018,  our  attrition  rate  was  18.8%,  which
reflects voluntary attrition of 11.8% and involuntary attrition of 7.0%, which includes 3.4% related
to implementation of certain cost saving and restructuring initiatives. Our attrition rate for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2017 was 27.4%, which reflects voluntary attrition of 14.5% and involuntary
attrition  of  12.9%,  which  includes  8.5%  related  to  implementation  of  certain  cost  saving  and
restructuring initiatives.

(cid:129) Operating  expense  efficiency  is  a  measure  of  operating  expenses  as  a  percentage  of  revenue.  If  we
continue to successfully grow our revenue, we anticipate that operating expenses will decrease as a

60

percentage of revenue as such expenses are absorbed across a larger revenue base. In the near term,
however, any operating expense efficiency may decline if our revenue declines.

(cid:129) Effective  tax  rate  is  our  worldwide  tax  expense  as  a  percentage  of  our  consolidated  net  income
before  tax,  which  measures  the  impact  of  income  taxes  worldwide  on  our  operations  and  net
income.  We  monitor  and  assess  our  effective  tax  rate  to  evaluate  whether  our  tax  structure  is
competitive as compared to our industry. Our effective tax rate was 78.6% and 13.6% for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our effective tax rate increased primarily due to
substantial tax impact from the Tax Act offset in part by benefits claimed on operational losses in
certain jurisdictions, the geographical mix of profits and increased holiday benefits during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2018. Increases in our effective tax rate or a high effective tax rate will also
have a negative effect on our earnings in future periods.

(cid:129) Onsite-to-offshore  mix  is  the  measurement  of  hours  billed  by  resources  located  offshore  to  hours
billed  by  our  team  members  onsite  over  a  defined  period.  We  strive  to  manage  both  fixed-price
contracts and time-and-materials engagements to a targeted 25% to 75% onsite- to-offshore service
delivery team mix, although such delivery mix may be impacted by several factors including our new
and  existing client delivery requirements as well as the impact  of any  acquisitions.

Sources  of revenue

We generate revenue by providing IT services to our clients located primarily in North America and
Europe.  We  have  historically  earned,  and  believe  that  over  the  next  few  fiscal  years  we  will  continue  to
earn  a  significant  portion  of  our  revenue  from  a  limited  number  of  clients.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended
March  31,  2018,  collectively,  our  five  largest  and  ten  largest  clients  accounted  for  39%  and  50%  of  our
revenue, respectively. Our two largest clients accounted for 19% and 7% respectively, of our revenue for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The loss of any one of our major clients could reduce our revenue
and operating profit and harm our reputation in the industry. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018,
65% of our revenue was generated in North America, 24% in Europe and 11% in rest of the world. We
provide  IT  services  on  either  a  time-and-materials  or  a  fixed-price  basis.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2018, the percentage of revenue from time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts was 59% and
41%, respectively.

Our  North  America  revenue  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018  increased  by  20.1%,  or
$111.2 million, to $665.6 million, or 65.2% of total revenue, from $554.4 million, or 64.6% of total revenue
in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The increase in revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 is
primarily  due to revenue growth from our  banking and telecommunications clients.

Our European revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 increased by 23.4%, or $46.1 million,
to $242.6 million, or 23.8% of total revenue, from $196.5 million, or 23% of total revenue in the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2017. The increase in revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 is primarily due to
revenue growth from our European banking and telecommunications  clients.

Revenue from services provided on a time-and-materials basis is derived from the number of billable
hours  in  a  period  multiplied  by  the  contractual  rates  at  which  we  bill  our  clients.  Revenue  from  services
provided on a fixed-price basis is recognized as efforts are expended either on a percentage-of-completion
method  or  on  a  straight-line  method.  Revenue  also  includes  reimbursements  of  travel  and  out-of-pocket
expenses  with  equivalent  amounts  of  expense  recorded  in  costs  of  revenue.  Most  of  our  client  contracts,
including those that are on a fixed-price basis, can be terminated by our clients with or without cause on 30
to  90  days  prior  written  notice.  All  fees  for  services  provided  by  us  through  the  date  of  cancellation  are
generally  due and  payable under the contract terms.

Our  unit  pricing  is  driven  by  business  need,  delivery  timeframes,  complexity  of  the  engagement,
operating  differences  (such  as  onsite/offshore  ratio),  competitive  environment  and  engagement  size  or
volume.  As  a  pricing  strategy  to  encourage  clients  to  increase  the  volume  of  services  that  we  provide  to
them,  we,  on  occasion  may  offer  volume  discounts  or  longer  payment  terms.  We  manage  our  business
carefully to protect our account margins and our overall profit margins. We find that our clients generally
purchase  on  the  basis  of  total  value,  rather  than  on  minimum  cost,  considering  all  of  the  factors  listed
above.

While we are subject to the effects of overall market pricing pressure, we believe that there is a fairly
broad range of pricing offered by different competitors for each service we provide. We believe that no one
competitor, or set of competitors, sets pricing in our industry. We find that our unit pricing, as a result of
our  global  delivery  model,  is  generally  competitive  with  other  firms  who  operate  with  a  predominately
offshore operating model.

The proportion of work performed at our offshore facilities and at onsite client locations varies from
period-to-period. Effort, in terms of the percentage of hours billed to clients by onsite resources, was 26%
and 24% of total hours billed in each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, while
the  revenue  from  resources  located  onsite  and  offshore  accounted  for  58%  and  42%  respectively  in  the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and 54% and 46% respectively during the fiscal year ended March 31,
2017. We charge higher rates and incur higher compensation costs and other expenses for work performed
at client locations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe as compared to work performed
at  our  global  delivery  centers  in  Asia,  particularly  our  largest  centers  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka.  Services
performed at client locations or at our offices in the United States or the United Kingdom generate higher
revenue per-capita at lower gross margins than similar services performed at our global delivery centers in
Asia,  particularly  our  largest  centers  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka.  We  manage  to  a  targeted  25%  to  75%
onsite-to-offshore  service  delivery  mix,  although  such  delivery  mix  may  be  impacted  by  several  factors
including our new and existing client delivery requirements  as well  as the impact of any acquisitions.

Costs of revenue and gross profit

Costs  of  revenue  consist  principally  of  payroll  and  related  fringe  benefits,  reimbursable  and
non-reimbursable  costs,  immigration-related  expenses,  fees  for  subcontractors  working  on  client
engagements and share-based compensation expense for IT professionals including account management
personnel. Wage costs in India and Sri Lanka have historically been significantly lower than wage costs in
the United States, Europe and rest of the world for comparably-skilled IT professionals. However, wages
in  India  and  Sri  Lanka  are  increasing  in  local  currency,  which  will  result  in  increased  costs  for  IT
professionals,  particularly  project  managers  and  other  mid-level  professionals.  We  may  need  to  increase
the levels of our team member compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive without
the ability to make corresponding increases to our billing rates. Compensation increases may reduce our
profit margins, make us less competitive in pricing potential projects against those companies with lower
cost  resources  and  otherwise  harm  our  business,  operating  results  and  financial  condition.  We  deploy  a
campus  hiring  philosophy  and  encourage  internal  promotions  to  minimize  the  effects  of  wage  inflation
pressure  and  recruiting  costs.  Additionally,  any  material  appreciation  in  the  Indian  rupee  or  Sri  Lankan
rupee against the U.S. dollar or U.K. pound sterling could have a material adverse impact on our cost of
services.

Our revenue and gross profit are also affected by our ability to efficiently manage and utilize our IT
professionals  and  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  We  define  utilization  rate  as  the  total
number of days billed in a given period divided by the total available days of our IT professionals during
that  same  period,  excluding  trainees.  We  manage  employee  utilization  by  continually  monitoring  project
requirements and timetables to efficiently staff our projects and meet our clients’ needs. The number of IT
professionals assigned to a project will vary according to the size, complexity, duration and demands of the

62

project. An unanticipated termination or reduction of a significant project could cause us to experience a
higher  than expected number of unassigned IT  professionals, thereby lowering our utilization rate.

Although we have adopted a cash flow hedging program to minimize the effect of the Indian rupee
movement on our financial condition, particularly our costs of revenue, these hedges may not be effective
or  may  cause  us  to  forego  benefits,  especially  given  the  volatility  of  these  currencies.  In  addition,  to  the
extent  that  these  hedges  do  not  qualify  for  hedge  accounting,  any  gains  or  losses  associated  with  those
hedges  would  be  recorded  in  other  comprehensive  income  until  the  occurrence  of  the  underlying
transaction  and  at  that  time  the  gains  or  losses  would  be  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statement  of
income in other income (expense).

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related fringe benefits, commissions, selling and
marketing as well as promotion, communications, management, finance, administrative, occupancy, share-
based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018,
2017,  and  2016,  we  invested  in  all  aspects  of  our  business,  including  sales,  marketing,  IT  infrastructure,
facilities,  human  resources  programs  and  financial  operations.  Additionally,  any  material  appreciation  in
the Indian rupee or Sri Lankan rupee against the U.S. dollar or U.K. pound sterling could have a material
adverse impact on our cost of operating  expenses.

Other income (expense)

Other  income  (expense)  includes  interest  income,  interest  expense,  investment  gains  and  losses,
foreign currency transaction gains and losses and disposal of fixed assets. We generate interest income by
investing in time deposits, money market instruments, short-term investments and long-term investments.
We incur interest expense primarily from our long-term debt and amortization of our debt issuance cost.
The functional currencies of our subsidiaries are their local currencies, except for Hungary which operates
in the euro and certain Netherlands entities which operate in the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency gains and
losses  are  generated  primarily  by  fluctuations  of  the  Indian  rupee,  Sri  Lankan  rupee,  Swedish  Krona
(‘‘SEK’’),  euro,  U.K.  pound  sterling  and  the  Singapore  dollar,  against  the  U.S.  dollar  on  intercompany
transactions.  This  includes  fluctuations  on  an  Indian  rupee  denominated  intercompany  note  in  a  U.S.
dollar functional currency entity in the Netherlands that was put in place as part of the structuring of the
Polaris  acquisition.  At  March  31,  2018,  the  approximate  value  of  the  intercompany  note  was  $307,939
(Indian rupee 20,000,000). We place our cash in liquid investments at highly-rated financial institutions, as
well as in money market funds, fixed income securities, U. S. dollar denominated corporate bonds, agency
bonds and government bonds based on our investment policy approved by our audit committee and board
of directors. We believe that our credit  policies  reflect normal  industry terms and  business  risk.

Income tax expense

Our  net  income  is  subject  to  income  tax  in  those  countries  in  which  we  perform  services  and  have
operations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, India, Sri Lanka, Germany,
Singapore, Austria, Hungary, Malaysia and Sweden. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, our effective
tax rate was impacted by the Tax Act, the mix of income by jurisdiction and availability and term of certain
tax holidays during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. Historically, we have benefited from long-term
income tax holiday arrangements in both India and Sri Lanka that are offered to certain export-oriented
IT services firms. As a result of these tax holiday arrangements, our worldwide profit has been subject to a
relatively low effective tax rate as compared to the statutory rates in the countries in which we generate the
substantial portion of our revenue. The effect of the income tax holidays in India and Sri Lanka decreased
our income tax expense in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 by $7.7 million and $8.0 million,
respectively. However, our tax expense increased by $30.3 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018
compared to our tax expense for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The increase in the tax expense and

63

effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the provisional net charges
of $22.7 million recorded due to recently enacted Tax Act, an increase in income from operations, a change
in  geographical  mix  of  profits  and  certain  foreign  currency  translation  losses  with  no  corresponding  tax
expense offset by stock compensation deductions.

Our  effective  tax  rate  was  78.6%  and  13.6%  for  each  of  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2018  and
2017 respectively. Our effective tax rate in future periods will be affected by the Tax Act, the geographic
distribution of our earnings, as well as the availability of tax holidays in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. We
expect our effective tax rate to increase as a result of a higher tax rate in India, geographical mix of our
profits and certain provision of the recently enacted Tax Act in the United States.

Application of critical accounting estimates  and risks

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted  accounting  principles,  or  U.S.  GAAP.  Preparation  of  these  financial  statements  requires  us  to
make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  revenue  and  expenses,  assets  and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate to be
critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements when both of the following are present:

(cid:129) the estimate is complex in nature or  requires a high degree of judgment; and

(cid:129) the  use  of  different  estimates  and  assumptions  could  have  a  material  impact  on  the  consolidated

financial statements.

We  have  discussed  the  development  and  selection  of  our  critical  accounting  estimates  and  related
disclosures with the audit committee of our board of directors. Those estimates critical to the preparation
of our consolidated financial statements are listed below.

Revenue recognition

We  derive  our  revenue  from  a  variety  of  IT  consulting,  technology  implementation  and  application
outsourcing services. Contracts for these services have different terms and conditions based on the scope,
deliverables,  and  complexity  of  the  engagement  which  require  management  to  make  judgments  and
estimates in determining the overall cost to the customer. Fees for these contracts may be in the form of
time and materials or fixed price arrangements.

Revenue  is  recognized  as  work  is  performed  and  amounts  are  earned.  We  consider  amounts  to  be
earned  once  evidence  of  an  arrangement  has  been  obtained,  services  are  delivered,  fees  are  fixed  or
determinable,  and  collectability  is  reasonably  assured.  Volume  discounts  are  recorded  as  a  reduction  of
revenue over the contractual period as  services are performed.

Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized as the services are performed and amounts are

earned.

Revenue  from  fixed  price  contracts  related  to  complex  design,  development  and  customization  is
accounted for under the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method,
management  estimates  the  percentage  of  completion  based  upon  efforts  incurred  as  a  percentage  of  the
total estimated efforts for the specified engagement. When total cost estimates exceed revenue, we accrue
for the estimated losses immediately. The use of the percentage of completion method requires significant
judgment  relative  to  estimating  total  contract  revenue  and  efforts,  including  assumptions  relative  to  the
length  of  time  to  complete  the  project,  the  nature  and  complexity  of  the  work  to  be  performed,  and
anticipated changes in other engagement related costs. Our analysis of these contracts also contemplates
whether  contracts  should  be  combined  or  segmented.  We  combine  closely  related  contracts  when  all  the
applicable criteria under U.S. GAAP are met. Similarly, we may segment a project, which may consist of a
single contract or a group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if all the applicable criteria

64

under  U.S.  GAAP  are  met.  Estimates  of  total  contract  revenue  and  efforts  are  continuously  monitored
during the term of the contract and are subject to revision as the contract progresses. When revisions in
estimated  contract  revenue  and  efforts  are  determined,  such  adjustments  are  recorded  in  the  period  in
which  they are first identified.

Revenue from fixed-price contracts related to consulting or other IT services is accounted for using a
proportional performance method. Performance is generally measured based upon the efforts incurred to
date in relation to the total estimated efforts to the completion of the contract. The cumulative impact of
any  change  in  estimates  of  the  contract  revenue  is  reflected  in  the  period  in  which  the  changes  become
known.

Revenue  from  fixed-price  applications  management,  maintenance  or  support  engagements  is
recognized as earned which generally results in straight-line revenue recognition as services are performed
continuously over the term of the engagement.

We may enter into arrangements that consist of multiple elements and in these types of arrangements
the transaction price is allocated to the individual units of accounting at the inception of the arrangement
based on the relative selling price. The company uses a hierarchy to determine the selling prices to be used
for  allocating  revenue:  (i)  vendor-specific  objective,  evidence  of  fair  value  (VSOE),  (ii)  third-party
evidence of selling price (TPE), and (iii) best estimate of the selling  price (ESP).

We  may  enter  into  hosting  arrangements  where  revenue  is  recognized  as  the  service  is  delivered,
generally  on  a  straight-line  basis,  over  the  contractual  period  of  performance.  In  these  type  of
arrangements  the  company  considers  the  rights  provided  to  the  customer  in  determining  whether  the
arrangement includes the sale of a software  license.

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue based on various methods of

accounting are recorded as unbilled revenue  or deferred  revenue.

Valuation and impairment of investments  and/or marketable securities

We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale or trading securities, and carry them at fair
market  value.  Changes  in  fair  value  subsequent  to  the  balance  sheet  date  are  recorded  in  the  period  in
which  they  occur.  The  difference  between  amortized  cost  and  fair  market  value,  net  of  tax  effect,  for
available-for-sale  securities  is  recorded  as  a  separate  component  of  stockholders’  equity.  The  difference
between amortized cost and fair market value for trading securities is reflected in ‘‘other income, net’’ on
income.  Investments  and/or  marketable  securities  classified  as
our  consolidated  statements  of 
available-for-sale are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below cost basis is determined
to be other than temporary. We conduct a periodic review and evaluation of our investment securities to
determine  if  the  decline  in  fair  value  of  any  security  is  deemed  to  be  other-than-temporary.
Other-than-temporary impairment losses are recognized on securities when: (i) the holder has an intention
to  sell  the  security;  (ii)  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  the  security  will  be  required  to  be  sold  prior  to
recovery;  or  (iii)  the  holder  does  not  expect  to  recover  the  entire  amortized  cost  basis  of  the  security.
Other-than- temporary losses are reflected in earnings as a charge against gain on sale of investments to
the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors
is recognized in other comprehensive income. We have no intention to sell any securities in an unrealized
loss  position  at  March  31,  2018  nor  is  it  more  likely  than  not  that  we  would  be  required  to  sell  such
securities prior to the recovery of the unrealized losses and we expect to recover the entire amortization
cost basis of the security. At March 31, 2018, we believe that all impairments of investment securities are
temporary in nature.

65

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange
rates on forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also enters into interest
rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk on the Company’s variable rate debt. Certain of these transactions
meet  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting  as  cash  flow  hedges  under  accounting  standards  codification.
Changes in the fair values of these hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, until the hedged transactions occur and are then recognized in the
consolidated statements of income in the same line item as the item being hedged. The Company measures
the effectiveness of these hedges at the time of inception, as well as on an ongoing basis. If any portion of
the hedges is deemed ineffective, the respective portion is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income until the occurrence of the hedged transaction and at that time, the gains or losses are recognized
in the consolidated statement of income in other income (expense). For derivative contracts that are not
designated as cash flow hedges, at maturity changes in the fair value, if any, are recognized in the same line
item as the underlying exposure being hedged in the statements of income. We value our derivatives based
on market observable inputs including both forward and spot prices for currencies. Any significant change
in the forward or spot prices for currencies would have a significant impact on the value of our derivatives.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

We account for our business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. We allocate
the cost of an acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price for acquisitions over the fair value of the
net  assets  acquired,  including  other  intangible  assets,  is  recorded  as  goodwill.  Goodwill  is  not  amortized
but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, defined at the Company level, at least annually in
the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently when events or circumstances occur that indicate
that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. In assessing goodwill for impairment, an
entity  has  the  option  to  assess  qualitative  factors  to  determine  whether  events  or  circumstances  indicate
that it is not more likely than not that fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carry amount. If this is
the case, then performing the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. An entity can
choose not to perform a qualitative assessment for any or all of its reporting units, and proceed directly to
the use of the two-step impairment test. The two-step process begins with an estimation of the fair value of
a reporting unit. Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its
implied fair value. Significant judgment is  applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment.

For our goodwill impairment analysis, we operate under one reporting unit. Any impairment would be
measured  based  upon  the  fair  value  of  the  related  assets.  In  performing  the  first  step  of  the  goodwill
impairment testing and measurement process, we compare our entity-wide estimated fair value to net book
value  to  identify  potential  impairment.  Management  estimates  the  entity-wide  fair  value  utilizing  our
market  capitalization,  plus  an  appropriate  control  premium.  Market  capitalization  is  determined  by
multiplying the shares outstanding on the assessment date by the market price of our common stock. If the
fair  value  of  the  reporting  unit  is  less  than  the  book  value,  the  second  step  is  performed  to  determine  if
goodwill is impaired. If we determine through the impairment evaluation process that goodwill has been
impaired,  an  impairment  charge  would  be  recorded  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  income.  We
completed  the  annual  impairment  test  required  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2018 and determined that there was no impairment. We continue to closely monitor our market
capitalization. If our market capitalization, plus an estimated control premium, is below its carrying value
for a period considered to be other- than-temporary, it is possible that we may be required to record an
impairment of goodwill either as a result of the annual assessment that we conduct in the fourth quarter of
each fiscal year, or in a future quarter if an indication of potential impairment is evident. The estimated
fair value of the reporting unit on the  assessment  date significantly exceeded the carrying  book value.

66

Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally
accepted  valuation  methods  appropriate  for  the  type  of  intangible  asset  and  reported  separately  from
goodwill. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives and tested for
impairment  when  events  or  circumstances  occur  that  indicate  that  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  an
impairment has occurred. We test other intangible assets with definite lives for impairment by comparing
the carrying amount to the sum of the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  may  not  be
recoverable.  If  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  exceeds  its  net  undiscounted  cash  flows,  then  an
impairment loss is  recognized for the  amount by which  the carrying amount exceeds its fair  value.

Income taxes

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex
tax  regulations  in  multiple  jurisdictions  where  the  Company  has  operations.  We  record  liabilities  for
estimated  tax  obligations  in  the  United  States  and  other  tax  jurisdictions.  Determining  the  consolidated
provision  for  income  tax  expense,  tax  reserves,  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  and  related  valuation
allowance, if any, involves judgment. We calculate and provide for income taxes in each of the jurisdictions
in which we operate, and these calculations and determinations can involve complex issues which require
an extended time to resolve. In the fiscal year of any such resolution, additional adjustments may need to
be recorded that result in increases or decreases to income. Our overall effective tax rate fluctuates due to
a  variety  of  factors,  including  arm’s-length  prices  for  our  intercompany  transactions,  changes  in  the
geographic  mix,  as  well  as  newly  enacted  tax  legislation  in  each  of  the  jurisdictions  in  which  we  operate.
Applicable  transfer  pricing  regulations  require  that  transactions  between  and  among  our  subsidiaries  be
conducted at an arm’s-length price. On an ongoing basis, we estimate appropriate arm’s-length prices and
use such estimates for our intercompany transactions.

At each financial statement date, we evaluate whether a valuation allowance is needed to reduce our
deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. This evaluation considers the
weight of all available evidence, including both future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax
planning strategies. In the event that we determine that we will not be able to realize a recognized deferred
tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made, resulting in a decrease in
income  (or  equity  in  the  case  of  excess  stock  option  tax  benefits)  in  the  period  such  determination  was
made. Likewise, should we determine that we will be able to realize all or part of an unrecognized deferred
tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made, resulting in an increase to
income  (or  equity  in  the  case  of  excess  stock  option  tax  benefits).  We  currently  have  net  operating  loss
carry  forwards  in  the  US  jurisdiction  that  are  expected  to  be  utilized  in  the  next  several  years.  Net
operating losses in the U.S. have an unlimited carry forward period, although there are annual limitations
on their use. We expect that U.S. taxable income will recover to levels sufficient to allow for the realization
of U.S. deferred tax assets. Certain provisions of the recently enacted US tax reform such as GILTI, NOL
limitations, and forecasted profitability were considered in determining it is ‘‘more likely than not’’ that our
deferred tax asset is recoverable.

On  December  22,  2017,  the  U.S.  government  enacted  comprehensive  tax  legislation  commonly
referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (the ‘‘Tax Act’’). The Tax Act contains several key tax provisions
that will impact the Company, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective
January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also includes a variety of other changes, such as a one-time repatriation tax
on accumulated foreign earnings, a limitation on the tax deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of
business  asset  expensing,  and  reduction  in  the  amount  of  executive  pay  that  could  qualify  as  a  tax
deduction, among others.

We have benefited from long-term income tax holiday arrangements in both India and Sri Lanka. We
have located new development centers in areas designated as Special Economic Zones (‘‘SEZ’’) to secure
tax exemptions for these operations for a period of ten years, which could extend to 15 years if we meet

67

certain reinvestment requirements. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we elected the tax holiday
for  our  SEZ  Co-developer  located  in  Hyderabad,  India  for  a  period  of  10  years.  During  the  fiscal  years
ended  March  31,  2018  and  2016,  we  established  new  units  in  Bangalore  and  Hyderabad,  respectively,  in
SEZ designated areas, for which it is eligible for tax holiday for up to 15 years. Our India profits ineligible
for  SEZ  benefits  are  subject  to  corporate  income  tax  at  the  current  rate  of  34.61%.  Our  Sri  Lanka
subsidiary has been granted an income tax holiday by the Sri Lanka Board of Investment (‘‘BOI’’) which
expires on March 31, 2019. The tax holiday is contingent upon a certain level of job creation by us during a
given  timetable.  Although  we  believe  we  have  met  the  job  creation  requirements,  if  the  BOI  concludes
otherwise, this would jeopardize the maximum benefits from this holiday arrangement. As a result of these
tax holiday arrangements, our worldwide profit has been subject to a relatively low effective tax rate, and
the  loss  of  any  of  these  arrangements  would  increase  our  overall  effective  tax  rate  and  reduce  our  net
income.

It is our intent to reinvest all accumulated earnings from foreign operations back into their respective
businesses to fund growth. As a component of this strategy, we do not accrue incremental taxes on foreign
earnings as these earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. If such
earnings were to be repatriated in the future or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, we will
accrue  the  applicable  amount  of  taxes  associated  with  such  earnings,  which  would  increase  our  overall
effective tax rate. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we repatriated $15.8 million from Virtusa
C.V., a subsidiary of the Company, organized to finance the acquisition of  Polaris.

Share-based compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of accounting standards, share-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The
fair  value  of  restricted  awards  and  deferred  stock  awards  is  determined  based  on  the  number  of  stock
awards granted and the quoted price of our stock at date of grant. Determining the fair value of the stock
option  awards  at  the  grant  date  requires  judgment,  including  estimating  the  expected  term  over  which
stock  options  will  be  outstanding  before  they  are  exercised  and  the  expected  volatility  of  our  stock.  We
changed our accounting policy from estimated forfeitures to actual forfeitures effective April 1, 2017 upon
adoption  of  ASU  2016-09  Accounting  Standard  Update  (‘‘ASU’’)  No. 2016-09,  Compensation—Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. If actual results
differ  significantly  from  our  estimates,  share-based  compensation  expense  and  our  results  of  operations
could be materially impacted.

The  risk-free  interest  rate  assumptions  are  based  on  the  interpolation  of  various  U.S.  Treasury  bill
rates  in  effect  during  the  month  in  which  stock  option  awards  are  granted.  Our  volatility  assumption  is
based on the historical volatility rates of our common stock over periods commensurate with the expected
term of each grant.

The expected term of employee share-based awards represents the weighted average period of time
that awards are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term of our options is based on historical
employee exercise patterns.

Revenue

Revenue  increased  by  18.9%,  or  $161.9  million,  from  $858.7  million  during  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2017 to $1,020.7 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was
primarily  due  to  broad  based  growth,  particularly  in  our  top  ten  clients  and  revenue  growth  from  our
banking  and  telecommunications  clients.  Revenue  from  North  American  clients 
increased  by
$111.2 million, or 20.1%, as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. Revenue from European
clients in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 increased by $46.1 million, or 23.4%, as compared to the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The growth in both North American and European clients was primarily
attributable  to  banking  and  telecommunications  clients  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018  as
compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. Our number of clients increased from 191 at March 31,
2017 to 215 at March 31, 2018, inclusive of clients acquired as part of the eTouch acquisition.

Costs of revenue

Costs  of  revenue  increased  from  $621.0  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017  to
$725.4  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  an  increase  of  $104.4  million,  or  16.8%,  which
includes  a  foreign  currency  expense  of  $4.9  million  due  to  the  appreciation  of  the  Indian  rupee.  The
increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of IT professionals and related
compensation  and  benefit  costs  of  $83.0  million,  reflective  of  an  increase  in  onsite  effort.  The  increased
costs  of  revenue  are  also  due  to  an  increase  in  subcontractor  costs  of  $18.8  million  and  an  increase  of
$3.7  million  in  travel  expenses.  At  March  31,  2018,  we  had  18,648  IT  professionals,  inclusive  of  IT
professionals acquired as part of the  eTouch acquisition, as compared  to 16,127 at March 31,  2017.

69

Gross profit

Our  gross  profit  increased  by  $57.4  million  or  24.2%,  to  $295.2  million  for  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2018 as compared to $237.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to our
growth in revenue, partially offset by increased cost of revenue related to increase in onsite effort and use
of subcontractors. As a percentage of revenue, our gross margin was 28.9% and 27.7% in the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily a result of higher
utilization.

Operating expenses

Operating  expenses  increased  from  $219.4  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017  to
$248.8  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  an  increase  of  $29.4  million,  which  includes  a
foreign  currency  expense  of  $2.2  million  due  to  the  appreciation  of  the  Indian  rupee.  The  increase  in
operating  expenses  was  due  to  an  increase  of  $26.3  million  in  compensation  related  expenses  and
$2.1  million  in  facilities  expenses.  As  a  percentage  of  revenue,  our  operating  expenses  decreased  from
25.6% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 to 24.4% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, primarily
due  to  a  decrease  in  facilities  and  travel  expense  as  a  percentage  of  revenue  as  well  as  a  decrease  in
acquisition and integration related expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended  March 31, 2017.

Income from operations

Income  from  operations  increased  from  $18.4  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017  to
$46.4  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  an  increase  of  $28.0  million  or  152.5%.  As  a
percentage  of  revenue,  income  from  operations  increased  from  2.1%  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,
2017  to  4.5%  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018.  The  increase  in  income  from  operations  as  a
percentage of revenue primarily due  to higher  gross margin and operating efficiencies.

Other  income (expense)

Other income decreased from an income of $0.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 to an
expense of $4.6 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributed to an
increase in foreign currency transaction losses due to the depreciation of our Indian rupee denominated
intercompany  note  when  converted  into  U.S.  dollars  of  $6.8  million,  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in
investment income of $1.4 million and an increase in interest income of $0.2  million.

Income tax expense

We had income tax expense of $32.9 million and $2.6 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018
and  2017,  respectively.  Our  effective  tax  rate  was  78.6%  and  13.6%  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,
2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in the tax expense and effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the provisional net charges of $22.7 million recorded due to recently
enacted  Tax  Act,  an  increase  in  income  from  operations,  a  change  in  geographical  mix  of  profits  and
certain foreign currency translation losses with no corresponding tax expense offset by income tax benefit
on stock compensation deductions.

Noncontrolling interests

In  connection  with  the  Polaris  acquisition,  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  recorded  a
noncontrolling interest of $7.7 million, representing a weighted average of 23.2% share of profits of Polaris
held by parties other than Virtusa. At March 31, 2018, our noncontrolling interest was 7.4%, which gives
effect to the delisting offer that settled on  February 12, 2018.

Net income available to Virtusa stockholders

Net  income  available  to  Virtusa  stockholders  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018  was
$1.3 million, a decrease of 89.4% or $10.6 million compared to net income of $11.9 million for the fiscal
year  ended  March  31,  2017.  The  decrease  in  net  income  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018  was
primarily due to a substantial increase in income tax expense from the provisional impact of the Tax Act,
principally  related  to  the  repatriation  tax  of  $17.8  million  and  re-measurement  of  deferred  tax  assets  of
$4.9 million.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends  and accretion

In  connection  with  the  Orogen  Preferred  Stock  Financing,  we  recorded  dividends  and  accreted

issuance costs of $4.0 million at a rate  of  3.875% per annum  for the  fiscal  year  ended March 31,  2018.

Net income (loss) attributable to Virtusa  common stockholders

Net  income  attributable  to  Virtusa  common  stockholders  decreased  by  122.8%,  from  an  income  of
$11.9  million  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017  to  a  net  loss  of  $(2.7)  million  for  the  fiscal  year
ended  March  31,  2018.  The  decrease  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018  was  primarily  due  to
substantial increase in income tax expense from the provisional impact of the Tax Act, principally related to
the repatriation tax of $17.8 million and  re-measurement of deferred tax assets of $4.9  million

Revenue

Revenue  increased  by  43.0%,  or  $258.4  million,  from  $600.3  million  during  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2016 to $858.7 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, due primarily to a full year of
revenue  contribution  from  Polaris.  Polaris  revenue  contribution  was  $290.4  million  for  the  fiscal  year
ended March 31, 2017, compared to $19.4 million for the 29 day period ending March 31, 2016. Excluding
Polaris, broad based growth, particularly in our non-top ten clients, was offset by a decline in our insurance
industry  group.  Revenue  from  clients  existing  as  of  March  31,  2016,  increased  by  $228.9  million,  and
revenue from new clients was $29.5 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, as compared to

71

the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Revenue from North American clients increased by $133.2 million,
or  31.6%,  as  compared  to  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016.  Revenue  from  European  clients  in  the
fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017  increased  by  $61.9  million,  or  46.0%,  as  compared  to  the  fiscal  year
ended  March  31,  2016.  The  growth  in  both  North  American  and  European  clients  was  primarily
attributable  to  Polaris.  Revenue  growth  was  led  by  BFS  and  M&I  industry  groups,  which  increased  by
67.5%  and  39.9%  respectively,  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017  as  compared  to  the  fiscal  year
ended March 31, 2016. Our number of clients increased from 174 at March 31, 2016 to 191 at March 31,
2017.

Costs of revenue

Costs  of  revenue  increased  from  $389.3  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016  to
$620.9  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017,  an  increase  of  $231.6  million,  or  59.5%,  which
includes  a  foreign  currency  benefit  of  $10.6  million  due  to  the  depreciation  of  the  Indian  rupee.  The
increase  in  cost  of  revenue  was  due  to  an  increase  in  compensation  and  benefit  costs  of  $187.4  million,
primarily related to a full year of headcount associated with the Polaris acquisition completed on March 3,
2016. The increased costs of revenue are also due to an increase in subcontractor costs of $31.1 million and
an  increase  of  $8.8  million  in  travel  expenses.  At  March  31,  2017,  we  had  16,127  IT  professionals  as
compared to 16,321 at March 31, 2016.

Gross profit

Our  gross  profit  increased  by  $26.8  million  or  12.7%,  to  $237.8  million  for  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2017 as compared to $211.0 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to our
growth in revenue, partially offset by increased cost of revenue related to increase in onsite effort and use
of subcontractors. As a percentage of revenue, our gross margin was 27.7% and 35.1% in the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily a result of lower
gross  margins  on  our  larger  transformational  programs  that  begin  with  higher  onsite  effort  as  well  as  an
increase  in  onsite  work  including  travel  expenses  and  subcontractors,  primarily  as  a  result  of  the  Polaris
acquisition.

Operating expenses

Operating  expenses  increased  from  $165.7  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016  to
$219.4  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017,  an  increase  of  $53.8  million,  which  includes  a
foreign  currency  benefit  of  $4.5  million  due  to  the  depreciation  of  the  Indian  rupee.  The  increase  in
operating  expenses  was  due  to  an  increase  of  $31.6  million  in  compensation  related  expenses  primarily
related to a full year of Polaris headcount, $16.6 million in facilities expenses primarily related to a full year
of  Polaris  facilities  and  an  increase  of  $4.8  million  in  travel  expenses.  As  a  percentage  of  revenue,  our
operating expenses decreased from 27.6% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 to 25.6% in the fiscal
year  ended  March  31,  2017,  reflecting  an  increase  in  operating  efficiencies  as  a  result  of  the  Polaris
integration.

Income from operations

Income  from  operations  decreased  from  $45.3  million  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016  to
$18.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $26.9 million or 59.5%. This decrease
in income from operations was primarily driven by an increase in onsite work and the negative impact of
foreign currency on non-U.S. denominated revenues, when converted in to U.S. dollars. As a percentage of
revenue, income from operations decreased from 7.5% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 to 2.1% in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in income from operations was primarily due to higher
onsite  effort  as  a  percentage  of  revenue,  particularly  higher  onsite  work  as  a  result  of  the  Polaris
acquisition.

72

Other  income

Other income decreased from $12.3 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 to $0.4 million in
the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017.  The  decrease  is  primarily  attributed  to  an  increase  in  foreign
currency transaction losses of $4.0 million, and an increase in net interest expense of $8.3 million primarily
resulting from our term loan.

Income tax expense

We had income tax expense of $2.6 million and $12.6 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017
and  2016,  respectively.  Our  effective  tax  rate  was  13.6%  and  21.9%  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,
2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax benefits claimed
on  operational  losses  in  certain  jurisdictions,  the  geographical  mix  of  profits  and  increased  holiday
benefits, partially offset by tax cost on repatriation of a dividend and increases in uncertain tax positions
during the fiscal year ended March 31,  2017.

Noncontrolling interests

In  connection  with  the  Polaris  acquisition,  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017,  we  recorded  a
noncontrolling interest of $4.4 million, representing a weighted average of 22.8% share of profits of Polaris
held by parties other than Virtusa.

Net income attributable to Virtusa stockholders

Net  income  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017  was  $11.9  million,  a  decrease  of  73.5%  or
$32.9 million compared to net income of $44.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 driven by
lower  utilization,  higher  on-site  efforts,  higher  operating  costs,  foreign  currency  transaction  losses  and
interest expense related to our term loan.

Non-GAAP Measures

We include certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Regulation G by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of
accounting  rules  or  principles  and  should  not  be  considered  a  substitute  for,  or  superior  to,  financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by
other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We consider the total measure of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments to be
an  important  indicator  of  our  overall  liquidity.  All  of  our  investments  are  classified  as  available-for-sale,
including our long-term investments which consist of fixed income securities, including government agency
bonds and municipal and corporate bonds, which meet the credit rating and diversification requirements of
our  investment policy as approved by our  audit committee and board  of directors.

We  believe  the  following  financial  measures  will  provide  additional  insights  to  measure  the

operational performance of our business.

(cid:129) We  present  the  following  consolidated  statements  of  income  (loss)  measures  that  exclude,  when
applicable,  stock-based  compensation  expense,  acquisition-related  charges,  restructuring  charges,
foreign  currency  transaction  gains  and  losses,  non-recurring  third  party  financing  costs,  the  tax
impact  of  dividends  received  from  foreign  subsidiaries  and  the  impact  from  the  U.S.  government
enacted comprehensive tax legislation (‘‘Tax Act’’) to provide further insights into the comparison
of our operating results among the periods:

(cid:129) Non-GAAP income from operations: income from operations, as reported on our consolidated
statements  of  income  (loss),  excluding  stock-based  compensation  expense,  and  acquisition-
related charges and restructuring charges

(cid:129) Non-GAAP operating margin: non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of reported

revenues

(cid:129) Non-GAAP net income available to Virtusa common stockholders: net income (loss) available
to Virtusa common stockholders, as reported on our consolidated statements of income (loss),
excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, foreign
currency transaction gains and losses, non-recurring third party financing costs, the tax impact
of  the  above  items,  the  tax  impact  of  dividends  received  from  foreign  subsidiaries  and  the
impact from the Tax Act.

(cid:129) Non-GAAP  diluted  earnings  per  share:  diluted  earnings  (loss)  per  share,  as  reported  on  our
consolidated statements of income (loss) available to Virtusa common stockholders, excluding
stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, foreign currency
transaction  gains  and  losses,  non-recurring  third  party  financing  costs,  the  tax  impact  of  the
above  items,  the  tax  impact  of  dividends  received  from  foreign  subsidiaries  and  the  impact
from  the  Tax  Act.  Non-GAAP  diluted  earnings  per  share  is  also  subject  to  dilutive  and
anti-dilutive  requirements  of  the  if-converted  method  related  to  our  Series  A  Convertible
Preferred  Stock  that  could  result  in  a  difference  between  GAAP  to  non-GAAP  diluted
weighted average shares outstanding.

(2) Foreign  currency  transaction  gains  and  losses  are  inclusive  of  gains  and  losses  on  related  foreign

exchange forward contracts not designated  as hedging instruments for  accounting purposes.

(3) Tax adjustments reflect the estimated tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments using the tax rates at

which  these adjustments are expected to be realized for the respective periods.

(4) Noncontrolling interest represents  the  minority shareholders interest  of  Polaris.

(5) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is subject to rounding.

(6) During  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  the  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  of  Series  A
Convertible Preferred Stock of 2,728,022 respectively, were excluded from the calculations of GAAP
diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.

The  following  table  provides  the  non-GAAP  net  income  available  to  Virtusa  common  stockholders
and non-GAAP dilutive weighted average shares outstanding using if-converted method to calculate

(7) To the extent the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is dilutive using the if-converted method, the
Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  is  included  in  the  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  to
determine non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.

(8) The  U.S.  government  enacted  comprehensive  tax  legislation  commonly  referred  to  as  the  Tax  Cuts
and Jobs Act (the ‘‘Tax Act’’) in December 2017. This resulted in a tax expense of $22.7 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, comprised of a provisional repatriation tax expense of $17.8 million

76

and a provisional net deferred tax expense of $4.9 million. The adjustment to GAAP net income (loss)
available to Virtusa common stockholders only includes these impacts. It does not include the ongoing
impacts of the lower U.S. statutory rate on current year earnings. The GAAP earnings (loss) per share
impact on the Tax Act adjustment using GAAP weighted average shares outstanding was $(0.77). The
non-GAAP earnings per share impact on the Tax Act adjustment using non-GAAP weighted average
shares outstanding was $(0.70).

(9) Non-recurring third party financing  costs  related to the  new credit facility.

Liquidity and capital resources

We  have  financed  our  operations  primarily  from  sales  of  shares  of  common  stock,  cash  from

operations, debt financing and from sales of shares  of  Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock.

We do not believe the deemed repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings related to the Tax Act

will have a significant impact on our  cash flows in  any  individual fiscal year.

During  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  we  implemented  certain  cost  saving  and  restructuring
initiatives.  During  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  incurred  costs  of  $1.4  million
primarily  related  to  termination  benefits,  out  of  which  we  paid  $1.0  million  during  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2018.

To  strengthen  our  digital  engineering  capabilities  and  establish  a  solid  base  in  Silicon  Valley,  on
March  12,  2018,  we  entered  into  an  equity  purchase  agreement  by  and  among  the  Company,  eTouch
Systems Corp. (‘‘eTouch US’’) and each of the equityholders of eTouch US to acquire all of the outstanding
shares  of  eTouch  US,  and  certain  of  the  Company’s  Indian  subsidiaries  entered  into  an  share  purchase
agreement by and among those Company subsidiaries, eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd (‘‘eTouch India,’’
together  with  eTouch  US,  ‘‘eTouch’’)  and  the  equityholders  of  eTouch  India  to  acquire  all  of  the
outstanding shares of eTouch India.

Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement and the share purchase agreement, on March 12,
2018,  we  acquired  all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  eTouch  US  and  eTouch  India  for  approximately
$140.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with up to an additional $15.0 million set aside for
retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management and key employees, in equal installments on the first
and  second  anniversary  of  the  transaction.  The  purchase  price  will  be  paid  in  three  tranches  with
$80.0 million paid at closing, $42.5 million on the 12-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, and
$17.5 million on the 18-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, subject in each case to certain
adjustments.

On  March  3,  2016,  to  create  a  unique,  fully  integrated  provider  of  comprehensive  solutions  and
services across the banking and financial services industry, expand our addressable market, and enable us
to pursue larger consulting and outsourcing contracts, our Indian subsidiary acquired approximately 51.7%
of  the  fully  diluted  shares  of  Polaris  Consulting  &  Services  Limited  (‘‘Polaris’’)  for  approximately
$168.3  million  in  cash  (the  ‘‘Polaris  Transaction’’)  pursuant  to  a  share  purchase  agreement  dated  as  of
November 5, 2015, by and among our Indian subsidiary, Polaris and the promoter sellers named therein.
On  April  6,  2016,  in  connection  with  the  Polaris  Transaction,  we  completed  an  unconditional  mandatory
open offer (the ‘‘Mandatory Tender Offer’’) to purchase an additional 26% of the fully diluted outstanding
shares  of  Polaris  from  Polaris’  public  shareholders  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  approximately
$89.1  million  (Indian  rupees  5,935  million).  Upon  the  closing  of  the  Mandatory  Tender  Offer,  our
ownership interest in Polaris increased from approximately 51.7% to 77.7% of Polaris’ fully diluted shares
outstanding,  and  from  approximately  52.9%  to  78.8%  of  Polaris’  basic  shares  outstanding.  In  order  to
comply with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers, during the three months ended December 31, 2016,
we  sold  3.7%  of  our  shares  of  Polaris  common  stock  through  a  public  offering  for  approximately

77

$7.6  million  in  proceeds,  net  of  $0.2  million  in  brokerage  fees  and  taxes,  which  reduced  our  ownership
interest in Polaris from 78.6% to 74.9% of Polaris’ basic shares of  common stock outstanding.

In  connection  with  our  acquisition  of  Polaris,  on  October  26,  2017,  we  announced  our  intention  to
commence  through  our  Indian  subsidiary,  a  process  that  could  lead  to  the  delisting  of  our  Indian
subsidiary, Polaris, from all stock exchanges on which Polaris’ common shares are listed. On February 12,
2018, we consummated the Polaris delisting offer to all public shareholders of Polaris in accordance with
the provisions of the SEBI Delisting Regulations, which resulted in an accepted exit price of INR 480 per
share  (‘‘Exit  Price’’),  for  an  aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $145.0  million,  exclusive  of
transaction  and  closing  costs,  resulting  in  Virtusa  India  increasing  its  ownership  interest  in  Polaris  from
approximately 74% to approximately 93% of the share capital of Polaris. Upon receipt of final approvals
from the stock exchanges on which Polaris is traded, the common shares of Polaris will be delisted from all
public exchanges on which the Polaris shares are traded. For a period of one year following the date of the
delisting from all stock exchanges on which Polaris common shares are listed, Virtusa India will permit, in
compliance with SEBI Delisting Regulations, the public shareholders of Polaris to tender their shares for
sale to Virtusa India at the Exit Price. If all the remaining shares of Polaris are tendered at the Exit Price,
we would pay an additional consideration  of approximately $56.0 million.

In connection with, and as part of the Polaris acquisition, on November 5, 2015, we entered into an
amendment with Citigroup Technology, Inc. (‘‘Citi’’) and Polaris, which became effective upon the closing
of  the  Polaris  Transaction,  pursuant  to  which,  (i)  Citi  agreed  to  appoint  the  Company  and  Polaris  as  a
preferred vendor for Global Technology Resource Strategy (‘‘GTRS’’) for the provision of IT services to
Citi  on  an  enterprise  wide  basis  (‘‘GTRS  Preferred  Vendor’’),  (ii)  the  Company  agreed  to  certain
productivity  savings  and  associated  reduced  spend  commitments  for  a  period  of  two  years,  which,  if  not
achieved,  would  require  the  Company  to  provide  certain  minimum  discounts  to  Citi  (which  is  now
satisfied),  (iii)  the  parties  amended  Polaris’  master  services  agreement  with  Citi  such  that  the  Company
would also be deemed a contracting party and the Company would assume, and agree to perform, or cause
Polaris  to  perform,  all  applicable  obligations  under  the  master  services  agreement,  as  amended  by  the
amendment  (the  ‘‘Citi/Virtusa  MSA’’),  and  (iv)  Virtusa  agreed  to  terminate  Virtusa’s  existing  master
services agreement with Citi, and have  the Citi/Virtusa MSA  be  the sole surviving agreement.

In  support  of  the  delisting  transaction  and  the  eTouch  acquisition,  on  February  6,  2018,  we  entered
into a $450.0 million credit agreement (‘‘Credit Agreement’’) with a syndicated bank group jointly lead by
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which amends and
restates our prior $300.0 million credit agreement (which we had originally entered into on February 25,
2016  (‘‘Prior  Credit  Agreement’’)  to  fund  the  Polaris  acquisition  and  Mandatory  Tender  Offer)  and
provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million term loan facility, and a $70.0 million
delayed-draw term loan. We drew down $180.0 million under the term loan of the Credit Agreement and
$55.0  million  under  the  revolving  credit  facility  under  the  Credit  Agreement  to  repay  in  full  the  amount
outstanding  under  the  Prior  Credit  Agreement  and  fund  the  Polaris  delisting  transaction.  On  March  12,
2018, we drew down the $70 million delayed draw to fund the eTouch acquisition. Interest under this new
credit  facility  accrues  at  a  rate  per  annum  of  LIBOR  plus  3.0%,  subject  to  step-downs  based  on  the
Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA. We intend to enter into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize
interest  rate  exposure.  The  Credit  Agreement  includes  maximum  debt  to  EBITDA  and  minimum  fixed
charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 6, 2023 (see
Note  11  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  further  information).  At  March  31,  2018,  the
outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement was 305.0 million. At March 31, 2018, the interest rates
on the term loan and line of credit were 4.63% and 4.45% respectively.

The  Credit  Agreement  has  financial  covenants  that  require  that  the  Company  maintain  a  Total
Leverage  Ratio  of  not  more  than  3.50  to  1.00  commencing  with  December  31,  2017  and  for  all  quarters
thereafter  ending  prior  to  December  31,  2019  and  of  not  more  than  3.25  to  1.00  commencing  with
December 31, 2019 and for all quarters thereafter ending prior to September 30, 2020, and 3.00 to 1.00,

78

commencing with September 30, 2020 and tested for all quarters thereafter. The financial covenants also
require that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, commencing on December 31, 2017,
of not less than 1.25 to 1.00, as of the last day of any Reference Period. For purposes of these covenants,
‘‘Total  Leverage  Ratio’’  means,  as  of  the  last  day  of  any  fiscal  quarter,  the  ratio  of  Funded  Debt  to
Adjusted EBITDA for the reference period ended on such date. ‘‘Funded Debt’’ refers generally to total
indebtedness  to  third-parties  for  borrowed  money,  capital  leases,  deferred  purchase  price  and  earn-out
obligations  and  related  guarantees  and  ‘‘Adjusted  EBITDA’’  is  defined  as  consolidated  net  income  plus
(a) (i) GAAP depreciation and amortization, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expenses, (iii) fees
and  expenses  incurred  during  such  period  in  connection  with  the  Credit  Facility  and  loans  made
thereunder,  (iv)  fees  and  expenses  incurred  during  such  period  in  connection  with  any  permitted
acquisition, (v) one-time regulatory charges, (vi) other extraordinary and non-recurring losses or expenses,
and  (vii)  all  other  non-cash  charges,  expenses  and  losses  for  such  period,  (viii)  taxes  net  of  tax  credits,
minus (b) (i) extraordinary or non-recurring income or gains for such period, and (ii) any cash payments
made  during  such  period  in  respect  of  non-cash  charges,  expenses  or  losses  described  in  clauses  (a)(ii),
(a)(v) and (a)(vi) above taken in a prior period, subject to other adjustments and certain caps and limits on
adjustments. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated under the Credit Agreement generally as the
ratio  of  Adjusted  EBITDA,  excluding  capital  expenditures  made  during  such  period  (to  the  extent  not
financed  with  indebtedness  (other  than  Revolving  Loans),  an  issuance  of  equity  interests  or  capital
contributions,  or  proceeds  of  asset  sales,  the  proceeds  of  casualty  insurance  used  to  replace  or  restore
assets,  to  fixed  charges  (regularly  scheduled  consolidated  interest  expense  paid  in  cash,  plus  regularly
scheduled dividends paid in cash for such period on or with respect to any Disqualified Equity Interests,
including  the  Orogen  Series  A  Preferred  Stock,  regularly  scheduled  amortization  payments  on
indebtedness  in  cash,  income  taxes  paid  in  cash  and  the  interest  component  of  capital  lease  obligation
payments), on a consolidated basis.

The  Credit  Facility  is  secured  by  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  assets,  including  all  intellectual
property  and  all  securities  in  domestic  subsidiaries  (other  than  certain  domestic  subsidiaries  where  the
material assets of such subsidiaries are equity in foreign subsidiaries), subject to customary exceptions and
exclusions from the collateral. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed
by  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  material  direct  and  indirect  domestic  subsidiaries,  with  certain
exceptions. These guarantees are secured by substantially all of the present and future property and assets
of the guarantors, with certain exclusions.

At  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  is  in  compliance  with  our  debt  covenants  and  have  provided  a
quarterly  certification  to  our  lenders  to  that  effect.  We  believe  that  we  currently  meet  all  conditions  set
forth in the Credit Agreement to borrow thereunder and we are not aware of any conditions that would
prevent  us  from  borrowing  part  or  all  of  the  remaining  available  capacity  under  the  existing  revolving
credit facility at March 31, 2018 and through the  date of this filing.

On  May  3,  2017,  we  entered  into  an  investment  agreement  with  The  Orogen  Group  (‘‘Orogen’’)
pursuant to which Orogen purchased 108,000 shares of the Company’s newly issued Series A Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  initially  convertible  into  3,000,000  shares  of  common  stock,  for  an  aggregate  purchase
price of $108 million with an initial conversion price of $36.00 (the ‘‘Orogen Preferred Stock Financing’’).
In  connection  with  the  investment,  Vikram  S.  Pandit,  the  former  CEO  of  Citigroup,  was  appointed  to
Virtusa’s Board of Directors. Orogen is a new operating company that was created by Vikram Pandit and
Atairos Group, Inc., an independent private company focused on supporting growth-oriented businesses,
to  leverage  the  opportunities  created  by  the  evolution  of  the  financial  services  landscape  and  to  identify
and invest in financial services companies and related businesses with proven  business  models.

Under the terms of the investment, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a 3.875% dividend
per annum, payable quarterly in additional shares of common stock and/or cash at our option. If any shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have not been converted into common stock prior to May 3, 2024,
the  Company  will  be  required  to  repurchase  such  shares  at  a  repurchase  price  equal  to  the  liquidation

79

preference of the repurchased shares plus the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If we
fail to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will increase
by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of May 3, 2024 during the period
in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase
to more  than 6.875% per annum.

In connection with the investment, we repaid $81 million of our outstanding term loan under our Prior
Credit  Agreement,  and  our  board  of  directors  approved  the  repurchase  of  approximately  $30  million  of
our  common stock.

In July 2016, the Company entered into 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transactions to
mitigate  Company’s  interest  rate  risk  on  Company’s  variable  rate  debt  (collectively,  ‘‘The  Interest  Rate
Swap  Agreements’’).  The  Company’s  objective  is  to  limit  the  variability  of  cash  flows  associated  with
changes in LIBOR interest rate payments due on the Prior Credit Agreement by using pay-fixed, receive-
variable  interest  rate  swaps  to  offset  the  future  variable  rate  interest  payments.  The  Company  will
recognize these transactions in accordance with ASC 815 ‘‘Derivatives and Hedging,’’ and have designated
the swaps as cash flow hedges.

The three Interest Rate Swap Agreements have an effective date of July 31, 2017 and a maturity date
of July 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2018, the swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $90 million and
hedge approximately 29.5% of our outstanding debt balance. The notional amount of the swaps amortizes
over  the  remaining  swap  periods.  The  Interest  Rate  Swap  Agreements  require  the  Company  to  make
monthly  fixed  interest  rate  payments  based  on  the  amortized  notional  amount  at  a  blended  weighted
average rate of 1.025% and the Company will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same notional amounts. The
unrealized  gain  associated  with  the  2016  Swap  Agreement  was  $2.5  million  at  March  31,  2018,  which
represents the estimated amount that the Company would receive from the counterparties in the event of
an early termination.

The counterparties to the Interest Rate Swap Agreements could demand an early termination of the
2016 Swap Agreements if we are in default under the Credit Agreement, or any agreement that amends or
replaces  the  Credit  Agreement  in  which  the  counterparty  is  a  member,  and  we  are  unable  to  cure  the
default. An event of default under the Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and failure
to  comply  with  financial  covenants,  including  a  maximum  consolidated  leverage  ratio  commencing  on
December 31, 2016, of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 for the first year of the Prior Credit Agreement, of not
more than 3.00 to 1.00 for the second year of the Prior Credit Agreement, and 2.75 to 1.00 thereafter, each
as  determined  for  the  four  consecutive  quarter  period  ending  on  each  fiscal  quarter  and  a  minimum
consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with
these  covenants.  The  unrealized  gain  associated  with  the  2016  Swap  Agreement  was  $2.5  million  as  of
March 31, 2018, which represents the estimated amount that we would receive from the counterparties in
the event of an early termination.

At  March  31,  2018,  we  had  approximately  $244.9  million  of  cash,  cash  equivalents,  short  term
investments  and  long  term  investments,  of  which  we  hold  approximately  $191.0  million  of  cash,  cash
equivalents, short term investments and long-term investments in non-U.S. locations, particularly in India,
Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom. Cash in these non-U.S. locations may not otherwise be available for
potential investments or operations in the United States or certain other geographies where needed, as we
have stated that this cash is indefinitely reinvested in these non-U.S. locations. We do not currently plan to
repatriate  this  cash  to  the  United  States.  However,  if  our  intent  were  to  change  and  we  elected  to
repatriate  this  cash  back  to  the  United  States,  or  this  cash  was  deemed  no  longer  permanently  invested,
this cash would be subject to additional taxes and the change in such intent could have an adverse effect on
our cash balances as well as our overall statement of income. Due to various methods by which cash could
be repatriated to the United States in the future, the amount of taxes attributable to the cash is dependent
on  circumstances  existing  if  and  when  remittance  occurs.  In  addition,  some  countries  could  have  tight

80

restrictions on the movement and exchange  of foreign currencies which could further  limit our  ability to
use such funds for global operations or capital or other strategic investments. Due to the various methods
by which such earnings could be repatriated in the future, it is not practicable to determine the amount of
applicable taxes that would result from such repatriation.

At March 31, 2018, our current ratio decreased compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
This  was  primarily  driven  by  the  deferred  acquisition  payments  related  to  our  eTouch  acquisition.  Our
unbilled accounts receivable compared to total accounts receivable at March 31, 2018 of 69% was higher
than the prior fiscal year ratio of 49%. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, we experienced
fluctuations  in  the  unbilled  accounts  receivable  due  to  timing  of  paperwork  received  late  in  the  fourth
fiscal  quarter  ended  March  31,  2018.  A  majority  of  the  unbilled  balance  as  of  March  31,  2018  has
subsequently been invoiced.

Beginning  in  fiscal  2009,  our  U.K.  subsidiary  entered  into  an  agreement  with  an  unrelated  financial
institution to sell, without recourse, certain of its European-based accounts receivable balances from one
client to such financial institution. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we sold $25.7 million of
receivables  under  the  terms  of  the  financing  agreement.  Fees  paid  pursuant  to  this  agreement  were
immaterial during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. We may elect to use this program again in future
periods.  However,  we  cannot  provide  any  assurance  that  this  or  any  other  financing  facilities  will  be
available or utilized in the future.

We  expect  capital  expenditures  made  in  the  normal  course  of  business  during  the  fiscal  year  ended
March  31,  2019,  without  regarding  to  any  past  or  future  acquisitions,  to  be  consistent  with  our  historical
capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 compared
to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, primarily driven by an overall increase in liabilities expected to be
paid in subsequent years ($17.8 million related to taxes payable attributable to the Tax Act is expected to
be paid over the next 8 years).

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 compared
to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, primarily driven by a decrease in net income during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2017, compared to  fiscal  year ended March 31, 2016.

Net cash used for investing activities

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities increased from cash provided by investing activities
in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 to cash used in investing activities in fiscal year ended March 31,
2018. Net cash used in investing activities  is  primarily due to cash used in the  eTouch  acquisition.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities increased from cash used in investing activities in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 to cash provided by investing activities in fiscal year ended March 31,
2017. Net cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash related to
the Polaris mandatory offering and a decrease  in business acquisition payments.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased from cash used in financing activities in
fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 to cash provided by financing activities in the fiscal year ended March 31,
2018. Net cash provided financing activities was primarily due to the net proceeds from our credit facility
and the issuance and sale of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, partially offset by the purchase of
additional Polaris noncontrolling interest.

Net  cash  (used  in)  provided  by  financing  activities  decreased  from  cash  provided  by  financing
activities  in  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016  to  cash  used  in  financing  activities  in  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2017. Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the decrease in proceeds from
debt  compared  to  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016,  acquisition  of  noncontrolling  interest  related  to
Polaris and payments related to our term loan, partially offset by cash proceeds from the Polaris stock sale.

(5) We  accrue  and  contribute  to  benefit  funds  covering  our  employees  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka.  The
amounts in the table represent the expected benefits to be paid out over the next ten years. We are not
able  to  quantify  expected  benefit  payments  beyond  ten  years  with  any  certainty.  We  make  periodic
contributions to the plans such that the unfunded amounts  are  immaterial.

(6) Relates to build-out of various facilities in India, and other purchase commitments, net of advances.

(7) Relates to our Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock.

(8) Relates to the eTouch acquisition.

(9) Relates to an acquisition of a small consulting company located  in India.

At March 31, 2018, we had $7.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits. This represents the tax benefits
associated with tax positions on our domestic and international tax returns that have not been recognized
on  our  financial  statements  due  to  uncertainty  regarding  their  resolution.  Resolution  of  the  related  tax
positions  with  the  relevant  tax  authorities  may  take  years  to  complete,  since  such  timing  is  not  entirely
within  our  control.  It  is  reasonably  possible  that  within  the  next  12  months  certain  positions  will  be
resolved, which could result in a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits. These decreases may be offset by
increases  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  if  new  positions  are  identified.  The  resolution  or  settlement  of
positions with the relevant taxing authorities is at various stages and therefore it is not practical to estimate
the eventual cash flows by period that  may be required to settle these  matters.

In  connection  with  our  acquisition  of  Polaris,  on  October  26,  2017,  we  announced  our  intention  to
commence  through  our  Indian  subsidiary,  a  process  that  could  lead  to  the  delisting  of  our  Indian
subsidiary, Polaris, from all stock exchanges on which Polaris’ common shares are listed. On February 12,
2018, we consummated the Polaris delisting offer to all public shareholders of Polaris in accordance with
the provisions of the SEBI Delisting Regulations, which resulted in an accepted exit price of INR 480 per
share  (‘‘Exit  Price’’),  for  an  aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $145.0  million,  exclusive  of
transaction  and  closing  costs,  resulting  in  Virtusa  India  increasing  our  ownership  interest  in  from
approximately 74% to approximately 93% of the share capital of Polaris. Upon receipt of final approvals
from the stock exchanges on which Polaris is traded, the common shares of Polaris will be delisted from all
public exchanges on which the Polaris shares are traded. For a period of one year following the date of the
delisting from all stock exchanges on which Polaris common shares are listed, Virtusa India will permit, in
compliance with SEBI Delisting Regulations, the public shareholders of Polaris to tender their shares for
sale to Virtusa India at the Exit Price. If all the remaining shares of Polaris are tendered at the Exit Price
additional consideration required would  be  approximately  $56.0  million.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We  do not have any investments in special  purpose entities  or  undisclosed  borrowings or debt.

We have entered into foreign currency derivative contracts with the objective of limiting our exposure
to  changes  in  the  Indian  rupee,  the  U.K.  pound  sterling,  the  euro  and  the  Swedish  Krona  as  described
below and in ‘‘Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market  Risk.’’

We maintain a foreign currency cash flow hedging program designed to further mitigate the risks of
volatility  in  the  Indian  rupee  against  the  U.S.  dollar  and  U.K.  pound  sterling  as  described  below  in
‘‘Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.’’ From time to time, we may also purchase
multiple foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuation in foreign currencies, such as the
U.K.  pound  sterling,  euro  and  Swedish  Krona  against  the  U.S.  dollar  to  minimize  the  impact  of  foreign
currency  fluctuations  on  foreign  currency  denominated  revenue  and  expenses.  Other  than  these  foreign
currency  derivative  contracts,  we  have  not  entered  into  off-balance  sheet  transactions,  arrangements  or
other  relationships  with  unconsolidated  entities  or  other  persons  that  are  likely  to  affect  liquidity  or  the
availability of or requirements for capital resources.

Recent  accounting pronouncements

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-09) to the standard on Compensation—Stock
Compensation,  which  simplifies  several  aspects  of  the  accounting  for  employee  share-based  payment
transactions  including  the  accounting  for  income  taxes,  forfeitures,  and  statutory  tax  withholding
requirements,  as  well  as  classification  in  the  statement  of  cash  flows.  For  public  business  entities,  the
amendments  in  this  update  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December 15,  2016,  and
interim periods within those annual periods. Upon adoption, entities will be required to apply a modified
retrospective,  prospective  or  retrospective  transition  method  depending  on  the  specific  section  of  the
guidance being adopted. We adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2017 and the following describe the
results of adoption:

(cid:129) We prospectively recognized income tax benefit of $1.5 million in the income tax expense line item
of  our  consolidated  statements  of  income  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March 31,  2018,  respectively,
related to excess tax benefits on stock options;

(cid:129) We changed our accounting policy from estimated forfeitures to actual forfeitures effective April 1,
2017. The cumulative impact of the change in the accounting policy did not have a material impact
on  our  consolidated  financial  statements,  therefore  the  prior  period  amounts  have  not  been
restated;

(cid:129) We  elected  to  adopt  cash  flow  presentation  of  excess  tax  benefits  retrospectively  where  these
benefits are classified along with other income tax cash flows as operating cash flows. Accordingly,
prior period amounts in our consolidated statement of cash flows have  been restated;

(cid:129) We  adopted  cash  flow  presentation  of  taxes  paid  when  an  employer  withholds  shares  for
tax-withholding purposes retrospectively and classified as a financing activity in the our statement of
cash flows. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been restated;

(cid:129) The  remaining  amendments  to  this  standard,  as  noted  above,  are  either  not  applicable,  or  do  not
change  our  current  accounting  practices  and  thus  do  not  impact  its  consolidated  financial
statements.

In  August  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-12,  Derivatives  and  Hedging  (Topic  815):  Targeted
Improvements  to  Accounting  for  Hedging  Activities.  These  amendments  are  intended  to  better  align  a
company’s  risk  management  strategies  and  financial  reporting  for  hedging  relationships.  Under  the  new
guidance,  more  hedging  strategies  will  be  eligible  for  hedge  accounting  and  the  application  of  hedge
accounting is simplified. In addition, the new guidance amends presentation and disclosure requirements.
The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted,
including the interim periods within those years. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective
approach.  We  have  early  adopted  this  guidance  during  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2018.  The
adoption of this update did not have  a  material  impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not  yet adopted

In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No. 2014-09,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers,  which
requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance
in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2018.
Early  application  is  permitted  but  not  before  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January 1,  2017.  In  March,
April and May 2016, the FASB issued updates to the new revenue standard to clarify the implementation
guidance  on  principal  versus  agent  considerations  for  reporting  revenue  gross  versus  net,  identifying
performance obligations, accounting for licenses of intellectual property, transition, contract modifications,

84

collectability,  non-cash  consideration  and  presentation  of  sales  and  other  similar  taxes  with  the  same
effective  date.  The  standard  permits  the  use  of  either  the  retrospective  or  cumulative  effect  transition
method.  We  have  adopted  the  standard  effective  April 1,  2018  using  the  modified  retrospective  method
applied  to those contracts which were  not  completed as  of  that date.

We have completed our assessment of existing customer contracts and current accounting policies to
identify and assess the potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new
standard including costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Based on the assessment procedures completed,
we have recognized an immaterial adjustment to retained earnings as of April 1, 2018. We expect revenue
recognition across our portfolio of services to remain largely unchanged and expect slightly longer periods
of amortization for costs to fulfill after adoption. Additionally, we are in the final stages of completion on
changes to our processes and controls to meet  the standard’s updated disclosure  requirements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-01) to the standard on financial instruments.
The update significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of
investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities
measured  at  fair  value.  The  update  also  amends  certain  disclosure  requirements.  For  public  business
entities,  the  amendments  in  this  update  are  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15,  2017,
including  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years.  Upon  adoption,  entities  will  be  required  to  make  a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting
period  in  which  the  guidance  is  effective.  However,  the  specific  guidance  on  equity  securities  without
readily determinable fair value will apply prospectively to all equity investments that exist as of the date of
adoption. Early adoption of certain sections of this update is permitted. The adoption of this guidance on
April 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In  February  2016,  the  FASB  issued  as  update  (ASU  2016-02)  to  the  standard  on  leases  to  increase
transparency and comparability among organizations. The new standard replaces the existing guidance on
leases and requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with lease
terms  equal  to  or  greater  than  twelve  months.  For  finance  leases,  the  lessee  would  recognize  interest
expense  and  amortization  of  the  right-of-use  asset,  and  for  operating  leases,  the  lessee  would  recognize
total  lease  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis.  For  public  business  entities  this  standard  is  effective  for  the
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early
adoption  of  this  new  standard  is  permitted.  Entities  will  be  required  to  use  a  modified  retrospective
transition which provides for certain practical expedients. We are currently evaluating the effect the new
standard will have on the consolidated  financial statements and  related  disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Measurement of Credit Losses
on  Financial  Instruments,  which  modifies  the  measurement  of  expected  credit  losses  of  certain  financial
instruments.  This  standard  update  requires  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  basis  to  be
presented  at  the  net  amount  expected  to  be  collected.  This  update  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning
after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
We  are  currently  evaluating  the  effect  of  this  new  standard  will  have  on  its  consolidated  financial
statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This update is
intended  to  reduce  diversity  in  practice  in  how  certain  cash  receipts  and  payments  are  classified  in  the
statement  of  cash  flows.  This  standard  update  addresses  eight  specific  cash  flow  issues,  including  debt
prepayment  or  extinguishment  costs,  the  settlement  of  contingent  liabilities  arising  from  a  business
combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, and distributions from certain equity method investees.
The  guidance  is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  periods  beginning  after  December 15,  2017,  and  early
adoption  is  permitted.  The  guidance  requires  application  using  a  retrospective  transition  method.  The
adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2018 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements
as our current presentation of consolidated statement of  cash flows is  consistent with  the new  guidance

85

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, an update to the standard on income taxes. This new
standard  requires  the  recognition  of  current  and  deferred  income  taxes  when  an  intra-entity  transfer  of
assets other than inventory occurs. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal  years,  beginning  on  or  after  December 15,  2017.  Early  adoption  is  permitted  in  the  first  interim
period. Upon adoption, the entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition approach.
The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on  April 1,  2018  did  not  have  an  impact  on  the  consolidated  financial
statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which is intended to
reduce diversity in practice on how changes in restricted cash are classified and presented in the statement
of cash flows. This ASU requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash
and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on
the  statement  of  cash  flows.  The  guidance  is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  periods  beginning  after
December 15,  2017,  and  early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  amendments  in  this  update  should  be  applied
using  a  retrospective  transition  method  to  each  period  presented.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  will
impact our presentation of statement of our consolidated statements of cash flows. As of March 31, 2018
and March 31, 2017, our restricted cash  was $0.3 million  and $0.2 million,  respectively.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, an update on business combinations, which clarifies
the definition of a business. The update requires a business to include at least an input and a substantive
process  that  together  significantly  contribute  to  the  ability  to  create  outputs.  The  update  also  states  that
the  definition  of  a  business  is  not  met  if  substantially  all  of  the  fair  value  of  the  gross  assets  acquired  is
concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. The update is effective
for  fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after  January 1,  2018.  Upon
adoption,  entities  will  be  required  to  apply  the  update  prospectively.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on
April 1, 2018 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, an update on goodwill, which eliminates the need to
calculate  the  implied  fair  value  of  goodwill  when  an  impairment  is  indicated.  The  update  states  that
goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to
exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after  January 1,  2020.  Early  adoption  is  permitted  for  any  impairment  tests
performed  after  January 1,  2017.  We  are  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  new  guidance  on  our
consolidated financial statements.

In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-07,  a  guidance  on  presentation  of  net  periodic  pension
cost  and  net  periodic  postretirement  benefit  cost.  The  new  standard  requires  that  an  employer
disaggregate  the  service  costs  components  of  net  benefit  cost.  The  employer  is  required  to  report  the
service  cost  component  in  the  same  line  item  or  items  as  other  compensation  costs  arising  from  services
rendered  by  the  pertinent  employees  during  the  period.  The  other  components  of  net  benefit  cost  are
required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component, such as in
other  income  and  expense.  The  guidance  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15,  2017.
The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on  April 1,  2018  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  our  consolidated
financial statements. The Company’s current presentation of service cost components is consistent with the
requirements  of  the  new  standard.  We  will  present  the  other  components  of  net  periodic  pension  cost
within other (income) expense beginning April 1, 2018.

In  March  2017,  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-08,  ‘‘Receivables-Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs
(Subtopic  310-20):  Premium  Amortization  on  Purchased  Callable  Debt  Securities.’’  The  amendments  in
this update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium.
The amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not
require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which would be amortized to maturity. This
ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,

86

2018, which for us is the first quater ending December 31, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We do not
expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In  May  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-09,  Scope  of  Modification  Accounting,  an  update  that
provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require
an entity to apply modification accounting under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Under
the amendments in ASU 2017-09, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the
following  criteria  are  met:  1) the  fair  value  of  the  modified  award  is  the  same  as  the  fair  value  of  the
original award immediately before the original award is modified—if the modification does not affect any
of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to
estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; 2) the vesting conditions of the modified
award  are  the  same  as  the  conditions  of  the  original  award  immediately  before  the  original  award  is
modified; 3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the
same  as  the  classification  of  the  original  award  immediately  before  the  original  award  is  modified.  The
standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after
December 15,  2017.  Early  adoption  is  permitted,  including  adoption  in  any  interim  period  for  which
financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2018 did not have
an impact on our consolidated financial  statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update
change  the  classification  analysis  of  certain  equity-linked  financial  instruments  (or  embedded  features)
with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as
liabilities  or  equity  instruments,  a  down  round  feature  no  longer  precludes  equity  classification  when
assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing
disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial
instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at
fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial
instruments,  the  amendments  require  entities  that  present  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  in  accordance  with
Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a
dividend  and  as  a  reduction  of  income  available  to  common  shareholders  in  basic  EPS.  Convertible
instruments  with  embedded  conversion  options  that  have  down  round  features  are  now  subject  to  the
specialized  guidance  for  contingent  beneficial  conversion  features  (in  Subtopic  470-20,  Debt—Debt  with
Conversion  and  Other  Options),  including  related  EPS  guidance  (in  Topic  260).  The  amendments  in
Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are
presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an
accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for
fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after  December 15,  2018.  Early
adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the
amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year
that includes that interim period. We are currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on our
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In  February  2018,  the  FASB  issued  2018-02,  Income  Statement—Reporting  Comprehensive  Income
(Topic  220):  The  amendments  in  this  Update  allow  a  reclassification  from  accumulated  other
comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act.  Consequently,  the  amendments  eliminate  the  stranded  tax  effects  resulting  from  the  Tax  Cuts  and
Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However,
because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included
in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain
disclosures  about  stranded  tax  effects.  The  guidance  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after

87

December 15,  2018  with  early  adoption  permitted,  including  interim  periods  within  those  years.  We  are
currently  evaluating  the  effect  the  new  standard  will  have  on  our  consolidated  financial  statements  and
related disclosures.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market  Risk.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

We  are  exposed  to  foreign  currency  exchange  rate  risk  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  We  have
historically  entered  into,  and  in  the  future  we  may  enter  into,  foreign  currency  derivative  contracts  to
minimize  the  impact  of  foreign  currency  fluctuations  on  both  foreign  currency  denominated  assets  and
forecasted  expenses.  The  purpose  of  this  foreign  exchange  policy  is  to  protect  us  from  the  risk  that  the
recognition of and eventual cash flows related to Indian rupee denominated expenses might be affected by
changes  in  exchange  rates.  Some  of  these  contracts  meet  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting  as  cash  flow
hedges  (See  Note  20  of  the  notes  to  our  financial  statements  included  herein  for  a  description  of  recent
hedging activities).

We evaluate our foreign exchange policy on an ongoing basis to assess our ability to address foreign
exchange exposures on our balance sheet, statement of income and operating cash flows from all foreign
currencies,  including  most  significantly  the  U.K.  pound  sterling,  the  Indian  rupee,  and  the  Sri  Lankan
rupee.

We have two 18 month rolling programs comprised of a series of foreign exchange forward contracts
that are designated as cash flow hedges. One program is designed to mitigate the impact of volatility in the
U.S.  dollar  equivalent  of  our  Indian  rupee  denominated  expenses.  The  second  program  was  assumed  as
part  of  the  Polaris  acquisition  and  is  intended  to  mitigate  the  volatility  of  the  U.S.  dollar  denominated
revenue  that  is  translated  into  Indian  rupees.  While  these  hedges  are  achieving  the  designed  objective,
upon  consolidation  they  may  cause  volatility  in  revenue.  The  U.S.  dollar  equivalent  notional  value  of  all
outstanding  foreign  currency  derivative  contracts  at  March  31,  2018  was  $140.3  million.  The  outstanding
contracts  at  March  31,  2018  are  scheduled  to  mature  each  month  through  June  28,  2019.  At  March  31,
2018, the net unrealized gain on our outstanding cash flow hedge contracts was $1.1 million. Based upon a
sensitivity analysis of our cash flow hedge contracts at March 31, 2018, which estimates the fair value of the
contracts based upon market exchange rate fluctuations, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange
rate  against  the  U.S.  dollar  with  all  other  variables  held  constant  would  have  resulted  in  an  increase  or
decrease in fair value of approximately  $13.4 million.

The  U.K.  pound  sterling,  Swedish  krona  and  the  euro  exchange  fluctuations  can  have  an
unpredictable  impact  on  our  U.K.  pound  sterling,  Swedish  krona  and  the  euro  revenues  generated,  and
costs incurred. In response to this volatility, we have entered into hedging transactions designed to hedge
our forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in the U.K. pound sterling, the Swedish krona as well as
the euro. These derivative contracts have maximum duration of 92 days and do not meet the criteria for
hedge accounting. Such hedges may not be effective in mitigating this currency volatility. These hedges are
designed  to  reduce  the  negative  impact  of  a  weaker  U.K.  pound  sterling,  Swedish  krona  or  the  euro,
however they also reduce the positive impact of a stronger U.K. pound sterling, Swedish krona or the euro.

Interest rate risk

In  support  of  the  delisting  transaction  and  the  eTouch  acquisition,  on  February  6,  2018,  we  entered
into a $450.0 million credit agreement (‘‘Credit Agreement’’) with a syndicated bank group jointly lead by
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which amends and
restates our prior $300.0 million credit agreement (which we had originally entered into on February 25,
2016  (‘‘Prior  Credit  Agreement’’)  to  fund  the  Polaris  acquisition  and  Mandatory  Tender  Offer)  and
provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million term loan facility, and a $70.0 million
delayed-draw term loan. Virtusa drew down $180.0 million under the term loan of the Credit Agreement

88

and  $55.0  million  under  the  revolving  credit  facility  under  the  Credit  Agreement  to  repay  in  full  the
amount  outstanding  under  the  Prior  Credit  Agreement  and  fund  the  Polaris  delisting  transaction.  On
March  12,  2018,  the  Company  drew  down  the  $70  million  delayed  draw  to  fund  the  eTouch  acquisition.
Interest  under  this  new  credit  facility  accrues  at  a  rate  per  annum  of  LIBOR  plus  3.0%,  subject  to
step-downs  based  on  the  Company’s  ratio  of  debt  to  EBITDA.  We  intend  to  enter  into  an  interest  rate
swap  agreement  to  minimize  interest  rate  exposure.  The  Credit  Agreement  includes  maximum  debt  to
EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years,
ending  February  6,  2023.  At  March  31,  2018,  the  interest  rate  on  the  Credit  Facility  was  4.63%.  At
March 31, 2018, the outstanding amount  under the  Credit Agreement was $305.0  million.

We  do  not  believe  we  are  exposed  to  material  direct  risks  associated  with  changes  in  interest  rates
other  than  with  respect  to  our  Existing  Credit  Facility,  our  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  short  term
investments  and  long  term  investments.  We  performed  a  sensitivity  analysis  to  determine  the  effect  of
interest rate fluctuations. At March 31, 2018, we had $305.0 million in outstanding debt, a 100 basis point
increase in market interest rates would have a $$1.7 million change in our interest expense and a 100 basis
point  decrease  in  market  interest  rates  would  have  a  $2.7  million  change  in  our  interest  expense.  At
March 31, 2018, we had $244.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and long term
investments, the interest income from which is affected by changes in interest rates. Our invested securities
primarily  consist  of  government  sponsored  entity  bonds,  money  market  mutual  funds,  commercial  paper
and  corporate  debts.  Our  investments  in  debt  securities  are  classified  as  ‘‘available  for  sale’’  and  are
recorded  at  fair  value.  Our  ‘‘available  for  sale’’  investments  are  sensitive  to  changes  in  interest  rates.  As
interest rate changes would result in a change in the net fair value of these financial instruments due to the
difference  between  the  market  interest  rate  and  the  market  interest  rate  at  the  date  of  purchase  of  the
financial  instrument.  A  100  basis  point  increase  or  decrease  in  market  interest  rates  at  March  31,  2018
would impact the net fair value of such  interest sensitive financial instruments by $0.2 million.

Information provided by the sensitivity analysis does not necessarily represent the actual changes that

would occur under normal market conditions.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of
cash  and  cash  equivalents,  short-term  investments  and  long-term  investments,  accounts  receivable,
derivative contracts, other financial assets and unbilled accounts receivable. We place our operating cash,
investments and derivatives in highly-rated financial institutions. We adhere to a formal investment policy
with  the  primary  objective  of  preservation  of  principal,  which  contains  credit  rating  minimums  and
diversification requirements. We believe that our credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business
risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties as we invest with highly-rated financial
institutions and, accordingly, do not require collateral. Credit losses and write-offs of accounts receivable
balances  have  historically  not  been  material  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements  and  have  not
exceeded  our expectations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Virtusa Corporation:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Virtusa  Corporation  and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income
(loss),  comprehensive  income  (loss),  stockholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  years  in  the
three-year  period  ended  March  31,  2018,  and  the  related  notes  and  financial  statement  schedule  II,
Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the
consolidated  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the
Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  March  31,  2018,  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2018,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control—Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated May 25, 2018
expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial
reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We
are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect
to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted our audits in accordance with the standards  of  the PCAOB. Those  standards require
that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included
performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial
statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such
procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Virtusa Corporation:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We  have  audited  Virtusa  Corporation’s  and  subsidiaries’  (the  Company)  internal  control  over
financial  reporting  as  of  March  31,  2018,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In
our  opinion,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial
reporting  as  of  March  31,  2018,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control—Integrated  Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of  the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2018
and  2017,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  income  (loss),  comprehensive  income  (loss),
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2018,
and related notes and financial statement schedule II, Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (collectively, the
consolidated financial statements), and our report dated May 25, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired eTouch Systems Corp. and eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd during the fiscal
year-ended  March  31,  2018,  and  management  excluded  from  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  the
Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  March  31,  2018,  eTouch  Systems  Corp.  and
eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd’s internal control over financial reporting associated with 14.5% of total
assets (of which 11.9% represents goodwill and intangible assets) and 0.6% of total revenues included in
the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018. Our
audit  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  of  the  Company  also  excluded  an  evaluation  of  the
internal control over financial reporting of eTouch Systems Corp.  and eTouch  Systems  (India) Pvt. Ltd.

Basis for Opinion

The  Company’s  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  Report  of  Management  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 are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent
with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and  regulations of the Securities and  Exchange Commission and  the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  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 of internal control over financial
reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the
risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of
internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as
we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis  for
our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal  Control Over Financial Reporting

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

92

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 conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  a  consolidated  basis  and  reflect  the
financial statements of Virtusa Corporation and all of its subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly more
than 50% owned or controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but
exerts  a  significant  influence  on  the  entity,  the  Company  applies  the  equity  method  of  accounting.  For
those majority-owned subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company, the interests of the minority
owners are accounted for as noncontrolling interests.

(b) Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of
assets  and  liabilities,  including  the  recoverability  of  tangible  assets,  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
liabilities  as  of  the  date  of  the  financial  statements,  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenue  and  expenses
during  the  reported  period.  Management  re-evaluates  these  estimates  on  an  ongoing  basis.  The  most
significant  estimates  relate  to  the  recognition  of  revenue  and  profits  based  on  the  percentage  of

99

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

completion method of accounting for fixed-price contracts, income taxes, including reserves for uncertain
tax  positions,  deferred  taxes  and  liabilities,  intangible  assets,  valuation  of  financial  instruments  including
derivative  contracts  and  investments.  Management  bases  its  estimates  on  historical  experience  and  on
various  other  factors  and  assumptions  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The
actual  amounts  may  vary  from  the  estimates  used  in  the  preparation  of  the  accompanying  consolidated
financial statements.

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

The  functional  currencies  of  the  Company’s  non-U.S.  subsidiaries  are  the  local  currency  of  the
country in which the subsidiary operates except for Hungary, which uses the euro and certain Netherlands
entities,  which  uses  the  U.S.  dollar.  Operating  and  capital  expenditures  of  the  Company’s  subsidiaries
located  in  India,  Sri  Lanka,  the  Netherlands,  Australia,  Canada,  Singapore,  Malaysia,  the  Philippines,
Germany, Austria, Sweden and the United Kingdom, are denominated in their local currency which is the
currency  most  compatible  with  their  expected  economic  results.  India  and  Sri  Lanka  local  expenditures
form  the  underlying  basis  for  intercompany  transactions  which  are  subsequently  conducted  in  both  U.S.
dollars  and  U.K.  pounds  sterling.  U.K.  client  sales  contracts  are  primarily  conducted  in  U.K.  pounds
sterling.

All  transactions  and  account  balances  are  recorded  in  the  functional  currency.  The  Company
translates  the  value  of  these  non-U.S.  subsidiaries’  local  currency  denominated  assets  and  liabilities  into
U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded
in  stockholders’  equity  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss).  The  local
currency  denominated  statement  of  income  amounts  are  translated  into  U.S.  dollars  using  the  average
exchange  rates  in  effect  during  the  period.  Realized  foreign  currency  transaction  gains  and  losses  are
included in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries do not operate in
‘‘highly inflationary’’ countries.

(d) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign
exchange  rates  on  intercompany  transactions  and  forecasted  transactions  denominated  in  foreign
currencies.  The  Company  also  enters  into  interest  rate  swaps  to  mitigate  interest  rate  risk  on  the
Company’s variable rate debt. The Company designates derivative contracts as cash flow hedges and any
ineffective  portions  if  they  satisfy  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting.  Changes  in  fair  values  of  derivatives
designated  as  cash  flow  hedges  are  deferred  and  recorded  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other
comprehensive  income,  net  of  taxes,  until  the  hedged  transactions  occur  and  are  then  recognized  in  the
consolidated statements of income, the effective components are recognized in the same line item as the
underlying and any ineffective components would be recognized as other income/expense. Changes in fair
value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized immediately in the consolidated
statements of income.

With  respect  to  derivatives  designated  as  cash  flow  hedges,  the  Company  formally  documents  all
relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and
strategy  for  undertaking  various  hedge  transactions.  The  Company  also  formally  assesses  both  at  the
inception  of  the  hedge  and  on  an  ongoing  basis,  whether  each  derivative  will  be  highly  effective  in

100

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

offsetting  changes  in  fair  values  or  cash  flows  of  the  hedged  item.  If  the  Company  determines  that  a
derivative  or  a  portion  thereof  is  not  highly  effective  as  a  hedge,  or  if  a  derivative  ceases  to  qualify  for
hedge  accounting,  the  Company  prospectively  discontinues  hedge  accounting  with  respect  to  that
derivative.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less
from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2018, cash equivalents consisted of money
market instruments and certificates of deposit. The Company had short-term and long-term restricted cash
totaling $338 and $178 at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Restricted cash includes escrow deposits
related  to  acquisitions,  restricted  deposits  with  banks  to  secure  the  import  of  computer  and  other
equipment and bank guarantees associated with the purchase of property and equipment of the Company’s
facilities in India.

(f)

Investment Securities

The  Company  classifies  all  debt  and  equity  securities  as  ‘‘available  for  sale’’.  These  securities  are
classified as short-term investments and long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet based on
their maturity dates and are carried at fair market value. Any unrealized gains and losses on available for
sale  securities  are  reported  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  net  of  tax,  as  a  separate
component  of  stockholders’  equity  unless  the  decline  in  value  is  deemed  to  be  other-than-temporary,  in
which  case,  investments  are  written  down  to  fair  value  and  the  loss  is  charged  to  the  consolidated
statement of income. Any realized gains and losses on trading securities are charged to the consolidated
statement  of  income.  The  Company  determines  the  cost  of  the  securities  sold  based  on  the  specific
identification method.

The Company conducts a periodic review and evaluation of its investment securities to determine if
the  decline  in  fair  value  of  any  security  is  deemed  to  be  other-than-temporary.  Other-than-temporary
impairment  losses  are  recognized  on  securities  when:  (i)  the  holder  has  an  intention  to  sell  the  security;
(ii)  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  the  security  will  be  required  to  be  sold  prior  to  recovery;  or  (iii)  the
holder  does  not  expect  to  recover  the  entire  amortized  cost  basis  of  the  security.  Other-than-  temporary
losses are reflected in earnings as a charge against gain on sale of investments to the extent the impairment
is  related  to  credit  losses.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  related  to  other  factors  is  recognized  in  other
comprehensive income. The Company has no intention to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position
at March 31, 2018 nor is it more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell such securities
prior  to  the  recovery  of  the  unrealized  losses.  At  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  believes  that  all
impairments of investment securities are  temporary  in nature.

(g) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for its business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The
Company  records  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  based  on  their  estimated  fair  values  at  the
date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price for acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets
acquired, including other intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested
for  impairment  at  the  reporting  unit  level,  defined  as  the  Company  level,  at  least  annually  in  the  fourth

101

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently when events or circumstances occur that indicate that it is
more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. In assessing goodwill for impairment, an entity has
the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is not
more likely than not that fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this is the case,
then performing the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. An entity can choose
not to perform a qualitative assessment for any or all of its reporting units, and proceed directly to the use
of  the  two-step  impairment  test.  The  two-step  process  begins  with  an  estimation  of  the  fair  value  of  a
reporting unit. Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its
implied fair value. Significant judgment is  applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment.

For  the  Company’s  goodwill  impairment  analysis,  the  Company  operates  under  one  reporting  unit.
Any impairment would be measured based upon the fair value of the related assets. In performing the first
step of the goodwill impairment testing and measurement process, the Company compares its entity-wide
estimated  fair  value  to  net  book  value  to  identify  potential  impairment.  Management  estimates  the
entity-wide fair value utilizing the Company’s market capitalization, plus an appropriate control premium.
Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the shares outstanding on the assessment date by the
market price of the Company’s common stock. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book
value,  the  second  step  is  performed  to  determine  if  goodwill  is  impaired.  If  the  Company  determines
through the impairment evaluation process that goodwill has been impaired, an impairment charge would
be recorded in the consolidated statement of income. The Company completed the annual impairment test
required during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and determined that there was
no  impairment.  The  Company  continues  to  closely  monitor  its  market  capitalization.  If  the  Company’s
market  capitalization,  plus  an  estimated  control  premium,  is  below  its  carrying  value  for  a  period
considered  to  be  other-than-temporary,  it  is  possible  that  the  Company  may  be  required  to  record  an
impairment  of  goodwill  either  as  a  result  of  the  annual  assessment  that  the  Company  conducts  in  the
fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or in a future quarter if an indication of potential impairment is evident.
The estimated fair value of the reporting unit on the assessment date significantly exceeded the carrying
book value.

Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally
accepted  valuation  methods  appropriate  for  the  type  of  intangible  asset  and  reported  separately  from
goodwill. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives and are tested
for  impairment  when  events  or  circumstances  occur  that  indicate  that  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  an
impairment has occurred. The Company tests other intangible assets with definite lives for impairment by
comparing the carrying amount to the sum of the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may
not  be  recoverable.  If  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  exceeds  its  net  undiscounted  cash  flows,  then  an
impairment loss is  recognized for the  amount by which  the carrying amount exceeds its fair  value.

(h) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments,
including  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  unbilled  accounts  receivable,  restricted  cash,
accounts  payable,  accrued  employee  compensation  and  benefits,  other  accrued  expenses  and  long-term

102

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

debt, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items. See note 8 to the consolidated financial
statements for further information of  the fair value of the  Company’s other financial instruments.

(i) Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant  Customers

Financial  instruments  which  potentially  expose  the  Company  to  concentrations  of  credit  risk  are
primarily  comprised  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  investments,  derivatives,  accounts  receivable  and
unbilled  accounts  receivable.  The  Company  places  its  cash,  investments  and  derivatives  in  highly-rated
financial  institutions.  The  Company  adheres  to  a  formal  investment  policy  with  the  primary  objective  of
preservation  of  principal,  which  contains  credit  rating  minimums  and  diversification  requirements.
Management believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The Company does
not anticipate non-performance by the  counterparties and, accordingly, does not require  collateral.

At March 31, 2018 and 2017, one client accounted for 10% and 11% respectively, of gross accounts
receivable. Revenue from significant clients as a percentage of the Company’s consolidated revenue was as
follows:

(j) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using
the  straight-line  method.  Leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  over  the  shorter  of  their  lease  term  or
the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited
or charged to income. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

(k) Long-Lived Assets

The  Company  reviews  the  carrying  value  of  its  long-lived  assets  or  asset  groups  with  definite  useful
lives  to  be  held  and  used  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the
carrying  value  of  these  assets  may  not  be  recoverable.  Recoverability  of  these  assets  is  measured  by  a
comparison of the carrying value of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows directly associated
with the asset. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which
the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach
or other  methods, if appropriate, to assess fair value.

Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less
cost to sell and depreciation is ceased. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are considered
to be held and used until disposal.

(l)

Internally-Developed Software

The Company capitalizes costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs
to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation and testing. Costs incurred during
the  preliminary  project  stage,  along  with  post-implementation  stages  of  internal  use  computer  software,
are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are typically amortized over the estimated life of
the  software,  typically  three  to  ten  years,  using  the  straight  line  method,  beginning  with  the  date  that  an
asset  is  ready  for  its  intended  use.  At  March  31,  2018  and  2017,  capitalized  software  development  costs,
which  include  software  development  work  in  progress,  were  approximately  $11,022  and  $9,658,
respectively. These costs were recorded in property and equipment. For the fiscal years ended March 31,
2018, 2017 and 2016, amortization of capitalized software development costs amounted to approximately
$2,377, $1,702 and $556, respectively.

(m) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial  statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  respective  tax  bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes to enacted tax rates would result in
either  increases  or  decreases  in  the  provision  for  income  taxes  in  the  period  of  changes.  The  Company
evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets and recognizes a valuation allowance when it is more likely
than not that all, or a portion of, deferred  tax assets  will not  be  realized.

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application
of  complex  tax  regulations  in  multiple  jurisdictions.  The  Company  records  liabilities  for  estimated  tax
obligations in the United States and other tax jurisdictions in which it has operations (see note 14 to the
consolidated financial statements). The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position
only  if  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  the  tax  position  will  be  sustained  on  examination  by  the  taxing
authorities,  based  upon  the  technical  merits  of  the  position.  The  tax  benefit  recognized  in  the  financial
statements  from  such  a  position  is  measured  based  on  the  largest  benefit  that  has  a  greater  than  50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Also, interest and penalties expense are recognized
on  the  full  amount  of  deferred  benefits  for  uncertain  tax  positions.  The  Company’s  policy  is  to  include
interest and penalties related to unrecognized  tax benefits in income tax expense.

(n) Revenue Recognition

The  Company  derives  its  revenue  from  a  variety  of  IT  consulting,  technology  implementation  and
application outsourcing services. Contracts for these services have different terms and conditions based on
the scope, deliverables, and complexity of the engagement which require management to make judgments
and estimates in determining the overall cost to the customer. Fees for these contracts may be in the form
of time and materials or fixed price arrangements.

Revenue  is  recognized  as  work  is  performed  and  amounts  are  earned.  The  Company  considers
amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are

104

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

fixed  or  determinable,  and  collectability  is  reasonably  assured.  Volume  discounts  are  recorded  as  a
reduction of revenue over the contractual period as services are performed.

Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized as the services are performed and amounts are

earned.

Revenue  from  fixed  price  contracts  related  to  complex  design,  development  and  customization  is
accounted for under the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method,
management  estimates  the  percentage  of  completion  based  upon  efforts  incurred  as  a  percentage  of  the
total  estimated  efforts  for  the  specified  engagement.  When  total  cost  estimates  exceed  revenue,  the
Company accrues for the estimated losses immediately. The use of the percentage of completion method
requires  significant  judgment  relative  to  estimating  total  contract  revenue  and  efforts,  including
assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work
to  be  performed,  and  anticipated  changes  in  other  engagement  related  costs.  The  Company’s  analysis  of
these  contracts  also  contemplates  whether  contracts  should  be  combined  or  segmented.  The  Company
combines closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria under U.S. GAAP are met. Similarly, the
Company  may  segment  a  project,  which  may  consist  of  a  single  contract  or  a  group  of  contracts,  with
varying rates of profitability, only if all the applicable criteria under U.S. GAAP are met. Estimates of total
contract revenue and efforts are continuously monitored during the term of the contract and are subject to
revision  as  the  contract  progresses.  When  revisions  in  estimated  contract  revenue  and  efforts  are
determined, such adjustments are recorded in  the period in which  they  are first identified.

Revenue from fixed-price contracts related to consulting or other IT services is accounted for using a
proportional performance method. Performance is generally measured based upon the efforts incurred to
date in relation to the total estimated efforts to the completion of the contract. The cumulative impact of
any  change  in  estimates  of  the  contract  revenue  is  reflected  in  the  period  in  which  the  changes  become
known.

Revenue  from  fixed-price  applications  management,  maintenance  or  support  engagements  is
recognized as earned which generally results in straight-line revenue recognition as services are performed
continuously over the term of the engagement.

The  Company  may  enter  into  arrangements  that  consist  of  multiple  elements  and  in  these  types  of
arrangements the transaction price is allocated to the individual units of accounting at the inception of the
arrangement  based  on  the  relative  selling  price.  The  Company  uses  a  hierarchy  to  determine  the  selling
prices  to  be  used  for  allocating  revenue:  (i)  vendor-specific  objective,  evidence  of  fair  value  (VSOE),
(ii) third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), and (iii)  best estimate of the selling price (ESP).

The  Company  may  enter  into  hosting  arrangements  where  revenue  is  recognized  as  the  service  is
delivered, generally on a straight-line basis, over the contractual period of performance. In these types of
arrangements,  the  Company  considers  the  rights  provided  to  the  customer  in  determining  whether  the
arrangement includes the sale of a software  license.

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue based on various methods of

accounting are recorded as unbilled revenue  or deferred  revenue.

Revenue  includes  reimbursements  of  travel  and  out-of-pocket  expenses,  with  equivalent  amounts  of
expense recorded in costs of revenue, of $12,924, $12,920 and $14,142 for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Any  tax  assessed  by  a  governmental  authority  that  is  incurred  as  a  result  of  a  revenue  transaction

(e.g. sales tax) is excluded from revenue  and reported on a net  basis.

(o) Costs of Revenue and Operating Expenses

Costs  of  revenue  consist  principally  of  salaries,  employee  benefits  and  share-based  compensation
expense,  reimbursable  and  non-reimbursable  travel  costs,  subcontractor  fees,  and  immigration  related
expenses  for  IT  professionals.  Selling  and  marketing  expenses  are  charged  to  operating  expenses  as
incurred.  Selling  and  marketing  expenses  are  those  expenses  associated  with  promoting  and  selling  the
Company’s services and include such items as sales and marketing personnel salaries, stock compensation
expense and related fringe benefits, commissions, travel, and the cost of advertising and other promotional
activities. Advertising and promotional expenses incurred were approximately $306, $560 and $316 for the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016,  respectively.

General  and  administrative  expenses 

items  such  as  officers’  and
administrative personnel salaries, share-based compensation expense and related fringe benefits, legal and
audit expenses, public company related expenses, insurance, facility costs, provision for doubtful accounts,
depreciation  and  amortization,  including  amortization  of  purchased  intangibles  and  operating  lease
expenses.

include  other  operating 

(p) Share-Based Compensation

Share-based  compensation  cost  is  determined  by  estimating  the  fair  value  at  the  grant  date  of  the
Company’s  common  stock  and  expensing  the  total  compensation  cost  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the
requisite  employee  service  period  or  for  grants  issued  with  performance  conditions,  on  a  graded-vesting
basis  over  the  requisite  employee  service  period.  The  requisite  service  period  is  generally  between  three
and four years. The Company changed its accounting policy from estimated forfeitures to actual forfeitures
effective April 1, 2017 upon adoption of ASU 2016-09 Accounting Standard Update (‘‘ASU’’) No. 2016-09,
Compensation—Stock  Compensation  (Topic  718):  Improvements  to  Employee  Share-Based  Payment
Accounting.

The  allocation  of  total  share-based  compensation  expense  between  costs  of  revenue  and  selling,

general and administrative expenses  was  as follows:

(q) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The  Company  maintains  an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  for  estimated  losses  resulting  from  the
inability  of  clients  to  make  required  payments.  The  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  is  determined  by
evaluating  the  relative  credit  worthiness  of  each  client,  historical  collections  experience  and  other
information,  including  the  aging  of  the  receivables.  We  evaluate  the  collectability  of  our  accounts
receivables on an on-going basis and write-off accounts when they are deemed  to  be  uncollectible.

(r) Unbilled Accounts Receivable

Unbilled  accounts  receivable  represent  revenue  earned  on  contracts  to  be  billed,  in  subsequent

periods, as per the terms of the related  contracts.

(s) Recent accounting pronouncements

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-09) to the standard on Compensation- Stock
Compensation,  which  simplifies  several  aspects  of  the  accounting  for  employee  share-based  payment
transactions  including  the  accounting  for  income  taxes,  forfeitures,  and  statutory  tax  withholding
requirements,  as  well  as  classification  in  the  statement  of  cash  flows.  For  public  business  entities,  the
amendments  in  this  update  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December 15,  2016,  and
interim periods within those annual periods. Upon adoption, entities will be required to apply a modified
retrospective,  prospective  or  retrospective  transition  method  depending  on  the  specific  section  of  the
guidance  being  adopted.  The  Company  adopted  this  guidance  effective  April 1,  2017  and  the  following
describe the results of adoption:

(cid:129) The Company prospectively recognized income tax benefit of $1,481 in the income tax expense line
item of its consolidated statements of income in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, respectively,
related to excess tax benefits on stock options;

(cid:129) The  Company  changed  its  accounting  policy  from  estimated  forfeitures  to  actual  forfeitures
effective April 1, 2017. The cumulative impact of the change in the accounting policy did not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements, therefore prior period amounts have not
been restated;

(cid:129) The Company elected to adopt cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits retrospectively where
these  benefits  are  classified  along  with  other  income  tax  cash  flows  as  operating  cash  flows.
Accordingly, prior period amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows have been restated;

(cid:129) The Company adopted cash flow presentation of taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for
tax-withholding  purposes  retrospectively  and  classified  as  a  financing  activity  in  the  Company’s
statement of cash flows. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been restated;

(cid:129) The  remaining  amendments  to  this  standard,  as  noted  above,  are  either  not  applicable,  or  do  not
change  the  Company’s  current  accounting  practices  and  thus  do  not  impact  its  consolidated
financial statements.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In  August  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-12,  Derivatives  and  Hedging  (Topic  815):  Targeted
Improvements  to  Accounting  for  Hedging  Activities.  These  amendments  are  intended  to  better  align  a
company’s  risk  management  strategies  and  financial  reporting  for  hedging  relationships.  Under  the  new
guidance,  more  hedging  strategies  will  be  eligible  for  hedge  accounting  and  the  application  of  hedge
accounting is simplified. In addition, the new guidance amends presentation and disclosure requirements.
The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted,
including the interim periods within those years. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective
approach. The company early adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The
adoption of this update did not have  a  material  impact on the  consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet  adopted

In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No. 2014-09,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers,  which
requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance
in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2018.
Early  application  is  permitted  but  not  before  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January 1,  2017.  In  March,
April and May 2016, the FASB issued updates to the new revenue standard to clarify the implementation
guidance  on  principal  versus  agent  considerations  for  reporting  revenue  gross  versus  net,  identifying
performance obligations, accounting for licenses of intellectual property, transition, contract modifications,
collectability,  non-cash  consideration  and  presentation  of  sales  and  other  similar  taxes  with  the  same
effective  date.  The  standard  permits  the  use  of  either  the  retrospective  or  cumulative  effect  transition
method. The Company has adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective
method applied to those contracts which  were not completed as of that date.

The  Company  has  completed  its  assessment  of  existing  customer  contracts  and  current  accounting
policies to identify and assess the potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of
the  new  standard  including  costs  to  obtain  and  fulfill  a  contract.  Based  on  the  assessment  procedures
completed, the Company has recognized an immaterial adjustment to retained earnings as of April 1, 2018.
The Company expects revenue recognition across its portfolio of services to remain largely unchanged and
expects slightly longer periods of amortization for costs to fulfill after adoption. Additionally, the Company
is  in  the  final  stages  of  completion  on  changes  to  our  processes  and  controls  to  meet  the  standard’s
updated disclosure requirements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-01) to the standard on financial instruments.
The update significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of
investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities
measured  at  fair  value.  The  update  also  amends  certain  disclosure  requirements.  For  public  business
entities,  the  amendments  in  this  update  are  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15,  2017,
including  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years.  Upon  adoption,  entities  will  be  required  to  make  a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting
period  in  which  the  guidance  is  effective.  However,  the  specific  guidance  on  equity  securities  without
readily determinable fair value will apply prospectively to all equity investments that exist as of the date of
adoption. Early adoption of certain sections of this update is permitted. The adoption of this guidance on
April 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the  consolidated  financial  statements.

In  February  2016,  the  FASB  issued  as  update  (ASU  2016-02)  to  the  standard  on  leases  to  increase
transparency and comparability among organizations. The new standard replaces the existing guidance on
leases and requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with lease
terms  equal  to  or  greater  than  twelve  months.  For  finance  leases,  the  lessee  would  recognize  interest
expense  and  amortization  of  the  right-of-use  asset,  and  for  operating  leases,  the  lessee  would  recognize
total  lease  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis.  For  public  business  entities  this  standard  is  effective  for  the
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early
adoption  of  this  new  standard  is  permitted.  Entities  will  be  required  to  use  a  modified  retrospective
transition which provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the effect
the new standard will have on its consolidated financial  statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Measurement of Credit Losses
on  Financial  Instruments,  which  modifies  the  measurement  of  expected  credit  losses  of  certain  financial
instruments.  This  standard  update  requires  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  basis  to  be
presented  at  the  net  amount  expected  to  be  collected.  This  update  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning
after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This update is
intended  to  reduce  diversity  in  practice  in  how  certain  cash  receipts  and  payments  are  classified  in  the
statement  of  cash  flows.  This  standard  update  addresses  eight  specific  cash  flow  issues,  including  debt
prepayment  or  extinguishment  costs,  the  settlement  of  contingent  liabilities  arising  from  a  business
combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, and distributions from certain equity method investees.
The  guidance  is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  periods  beginning  after  December 15,  2017,  and  early
adoption  is  permitted.  The  guidance  requires  application  using  a  retrospective  transition  method.  The
adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2018 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements,
as the Company’s current presentation of consolidated statement of cash flows is consistent with the new
guidance.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, an update to the standard on income taxes. This new
standard  requires  the  recognition  of  current  and  deferred  income  taxes  when  an  intra-entity  transfer  of
assets other than inventory occurs. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal  years,  beginning  on  or  after  December 15,  2017.  Early  adoption  is  permitted  in  the  first  interim
period. Upon adoption, the entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition approach.
The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on  April 1,  2018  did  not  have  an  impact  on  the  consolidated  financial
statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which is intended to
reduce diversity in practice on how changes in restricted cash are classified and presented in the statement
of cash flows. This ASU requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash
and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on
the  statement  of  cash  flows.  The  guidance  is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  periods  beginning  after
December 15,  2017,  and  early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  amendments  in  this  update  should  be  applied
using  a  retrospective  transition  method  to  each  period  presented.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

April 1, 2018 will impact the Company’s presentation of the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of
March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017,  the Company’s restricted cash was $338  and $178,  respectively.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, an update on business combinations, which clarifies
the definition of a business. The update requires a business to include at least an input and a substantive
process  that  together  significantly  contribute  to  the  ability  to  create  outputs.  The  update  also  states  that
the  definition  of  a  business  is  not  met  if  substantially  all  of  the  fair  value  of  the  gross  assets  acquired  is
concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. The update is effective
for  fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after  January 1,  2018.  Upon
adoption,  entities  will  be  required  to  apply  the  update  prospectively.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on
April 1, 2018 did not have an impact on the  consolidated  financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, an update on goodwill, which eliminates the need to
calculate  the  implied  fair  value  of  goodwill  when  an  impairment  is  indicated.  The  update  states  that
goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to
exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after  January 1,  2020.  Early  adoption  is  permitted  for  any  impairment  tests
performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on
the consolidated financial statements.

In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-07,  a  guidance  on  presentation  of  net  periodic  pension
cost  and  net  periodic  postretirement  benefit  cost.  The  new  standard  requires  that  an  employer
disaggregate  the  service  costs  components  of  net  benefit  cost.  The  employer  is  required  to  report  the
service  cost  component  in  the  same  line  item  or  items  as  other  compensation  costs  arising  from  services
rendered  by  the  pertinent  employees  during  the  period.  The  other  components  of  net  benefit  cost  are
required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component, such as in
other  income  and  expense.  The  guidance  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15,  2017.
The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on  April 1,  2018  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  consolidated
financial statements. The Company’s current presentation of service cost components is consistent with the
requirements  of  the  new  standard.  The  Company  will  present  the  other  components  of  net  periodic
pension cost within other (income) expense beginning  April 1, 2018.

In  March  2017,  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-08,  Receivables-Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs
(Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this
update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The
amendments  require  the  premium  to  be  amortized  to  the  earliest  call  date.  The  amendments  do  not
require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which would be amortized to maturity. This
ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2018,  which  for  us  is  the  first  quarter  ending  December 31,  2019.  Early  adoption  is  permitted.  The
Company  does  not  expect  the  adoption  of  this  guidance  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  consolidated
financial  statements.

In  May  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-09,  Scope  of  Modification  Accounting,  an  update  that
provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require
an entity to apply modification accounting under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Under
the amendments in ASU 2017-09, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

following  criteria  are  met:  1) the  fair  value  of  the  modified  award  is  the  same  as  the  fair  value  of  the
original award immediately before the original award is modified—if the modification does not affect any
of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to
estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; 2) the vesting conditions of the modified
award  are  the  same  as  the  conditions  of  the  original  award  immediately  before  the  original  award  is
modified; 3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the
same  as  the  classification  of  the  original  award  immediately  before  the  original  award  is  modified.  The
standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after
December 15,  2017.  Early  adoption  is  permitted,  including  adoption  in  any  interim  period  for  which
financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2018 did not have
an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update
change  the  classification  analysis  of  certain  equity-linked  financial  instruments  (or  embedded  features)
with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as
liabilities  or  equity  instruments,  a  down  round  feature  no  longer  precludes  equity  classification  when
assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing
disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial
instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at
fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial
instruments,  the  amendments  require  entities  that  present  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  in  accordance  with
Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a
dividend  and  as  a  reduction  of  income  available  to  common  shareholders  in  basic  EPS.  Convertible
instruments  with  embedded  conversion  options  that  have  down  round  features  are  now  subject  to  the
specialized  guidance  for  contingent  beneficial  conversion  features  (in  Subtopic  470-20,  Debt—Debt  with
Conversion  and  Other  Options),  including  related  EPS  guidance  (in  Topic  260).  The  amendments  in
Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are
presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an
accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for
fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after  December 15,  2018.  Early
adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the
amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year
that  includes  that  interim  period.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  effect  the  new  standard  will
have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In  February  2018,  the  FASB  issued  2018-02,  Income  Statement—Reporting  Comprehensive  Income
(Topic  220):  The  amendments  in  this  Update  allow  a  reclassification  from  accumulated  other
comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act.  Consequently,  the  amendments  eliminate  the  stranded  tax  effects  resulting  from  the  Tax  Cuts  and
Jobs Act and will improve the 2 usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However,
because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included
in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain
disclosures  about  stranded  tax  effects.  The  guidance  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after

presentation.

(3) Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic  earnings  (loss)  per  share  available  to  Virtusa  common  stock  holders  (‘‘EPS’’)  is  computed  by
dividing net income (loss), less any dividends and accretion of issuance cost on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In
computing diluted EPS, the Company adjusts the numerator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to
anti-dilution  requirements,  to  add  back  the  dividends  (declared  or  cumulative  undeclared)  applicable  to
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Such add-back would also include any adjustments to equity in
the  period  to  accrete  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  to  its  redemption  price.  The  Company
adjusts  the  denominator  used  in  the  basic  EPS  computation,  subject  to  anti-dilution  requirements,  to
include  the  dilution  from  potential  shares  resulting  from  the  issuance  of  restricted  stock  units,  unvested
restricted stock and stock options along with the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to
common stock. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods set
forth below:

The components of basic earnings (loss)  per  share are as follows:

(4) Acquisitions

Fiscal 2018

On March 12, 2018, (i) the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement by and among the
Company, eTouch Systems Corp. (‘‘eTouch US’’) and each of the equityholders of eTouch US to acquire all
of the outstanding shares of eTouch US, and (ii) certain of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries entered into
a share purchase agreement by and among those Company subsidiaries, eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd
(‘‘eTouch India,’’ together with eTouch US, ‘‘eTouch’’) and the equityholders of eTouch India to acquire all
of the outstanding shares of eTouch India (together with the acquisition of eTouch US, the ‘‘Acquisition’’).
The  acquisition  strengthens  our  digital  engineering  capabilities,  and  establishes  a  solid  base  in  Silicon
Valley.

Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement and the share purchase agreement, on March 12,
2018,  the  Company  acquired  all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  eTouch  US  and  eTouch  India  for
approximately $140,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with up to an additional $15,000 set aside
for retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management and key employees, in equal installments on the
first  and  second  anniversary  of  the  transaction.  The  purchase  price  will  be  paid  in  three  tranches  with

113

(4) Acquisitions (Continued)

$80,000 paid at closing, $42,500 on the 12-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, and $17,500
on  the  18-month  anniversary  of  the  close  of  the  transaction,  subject  in  each  case  to  certain  adjustments.
The Company utilized the net cash proceeds of a $70,000 delayed draw term loan (the ‘‘DDTL’’) funded
pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) and $10,000 of cash on hand to make the
payments  due  at  the  closing  of  the  Acquisition.  The  Company  paid  an  amount  equal  to  $66,000  to  the
equityholders of eTouch US, and an amount equal to $14,000 to the equityholders of eTouch India, which
together comprise the first of three tranches of the purchase price to be paid in connection with the closing
of the Acquisition.

The  purchase  price  is  subject  to  adjustment  after  the  closing  in  the  event  the  working  capital

associated with eTouch deviates from  a threshold amount and  other contractual adjustments.

Under  the  purchase  method  of  accounting,  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  are  recorded  at
their  estimated  fair  values.  The  Company  may  continue  to  adjust  the  preliminary  estimated  fair  values
after  obtaining  more  information  regarding  asset  valuations,  liabilities  assumed,  and  revision  of
preliminary  estimates.  The  following  are  the  preliminary  fair  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  based  on
information available as of March 31, 2018 and may be subject to change during the measurement period.

Acquisition costs of $1,016 are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The primary
items that generated goodwill are the value of the acquired assembled workforces and synergies between
eTouch  and the Company, neither of which  qualify as an amortizable intangible asset.

2016. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are provided for informational purposes

Fiscal 2016

On  March  3,  2016,  pursuant  to  a  share  purchase  agreement  (the  ‘‘SPA’’),  dated  as  of  November  5,
2015,  by  and  among  Virtusa  Consulting  Services  Private  Limited  (‘‘Virtusa  India’’),  a  subsidiary  of  the
Company, Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (‘‘Polaris’’) and the Promoter Sellers named therein, as
amended, the Company completed the purchase of 53,133,127 shares, or approximately 51.7% of the fully-
diluted  capitalization  of  Polaris  from  certain  Polaris  shareholders  for  approximately  $168,257  (Indian
rupees  11,391,365)  in  cash  (the  ‘‘Polaris  SPA  Transaction’’).  In  addition,  on  April  6,  2016,  Virtusa  India
completed an unconditional mandatory open offer with successful tender to purchase an additional 26% of
the  fully  diluted  outstanding  shares  of  Polaris  common  stock  from  Polaris’  public  shareholders.  The
mandatory  open  offer  was  conducted  in  accordance  with  requirements  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Board of India (‘‘SEBI’’) and the applicable Indian rules on takeovers. Virtusa India purchased 26,719,942
shares of Polaris common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $89,147 (Indian rupees
5,935,260).  Pursuant  to  the  mandatory  open  offer,  during  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016,  the
Company transferred $89,220 into an escrow account in accordance with the India takeover rules, which
was recorded as restricted cash at March 31, 2016, and the mandatory open offer closed on April 6, 2016.
On April 6, 2016, the restricted cash was released from the escrow account and used for settlement for the
mandatory open offer.

Upon  the  closing  of  the  mandatory  offering,  Virtusa’s  ownership  interest  in  Polaris  increased  from
approximately  51.7%  to  77.7%  of  Polaris’  fully  diluted  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding,  and  from
approximately  52.9%  to  78.8%  of  Polaris’  basic  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding.  Under  applicable

116

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(4) Acquisitions (Continued)

Indian  rules  on  takeovers,  Virtusa  India  was  required  to  sell  within  one  year  of  the  settlement  of  the
unconditional  mandatory  offer  its  shares  of  common  stock  in  Polaris  in  excess  of  75%  of  the  basic
outstanding  shares  of  common  stock  of  Polaris.  In  order  to  comply  with  the  applicable  Indian  rules  on
takeovers,  during  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  sold  3.7%  of  its  shares  of
Polaris  common  stock  through  a  public  offering.  The  sale  offer  closed  on  December  14,  2016,  and  the
Company received approximately $7,645 in proceeds, net of $188 in brokerage fees and taxes. In addition
to  these  costs,  the  Company  incurred  additional  costs  of  $409  towards  professional  and  legal  fees  and
expense. The Company’s ownership interest in Polaris prior to the sale offer was 78.6% of the outstanding
shares  of  common  stock,  and  upon  the  closing  of  the  sale  offer,  the  Company’s  ownership  interest
decreased from 78.6% to 74.9% of Polaris’ basic shares of common stock outstanding.

On  October  26,  2017,  the  Company  announced  its  intention  to  commence  through  its  Indian
subsidiary, Virtusa India, a process that could lead to the delisting of its Indian subsidiary, Polaris, from all
stock exchanges on which Polaris’ common shares are listed. In December 2017, the Company drew down
$25,000  from  its  old  revolving  credit  facility  to  prepare  to  meet  the  minimum  escrow  requirements  in
accordance  with  the  applicable  SEBI  delisting  regulations.  In  addition,  In  January  2018,  the  Company
funded  the  minimum  escrow  requirements  of  approximately  $96,285  for  the  delisting  offer  towards  the
purchase of up to 26,416,725 shares,  comprised of a combination  of cash  and bank guarantee.

On  February  5,  2018,  Virtusa  India  closed  its  delisting  offer  to  all  public  shareholders  of  Polaris  in
accordance with the provisions of the SEBI Delisting Regulations, which resulted in a discovered price of
INR 480 per share. On February 8, 2018, Virtusa India accepted the discovered price of INR 480 per share
(the  ‘‘Exit  Price’’)  which  will  be  offered  to  all  Polaris  public  shareholders.  Upon  settlement  by  Virtusa
India  of  an  amount  of  approximately  $145,000,  exclusive  of  transaction  and  closing  costs,  for  the  Polaris
shares  tendered  during  the  delisting  process  at  the  Exit  Price,  the  shareholding  of  Virtusa  India  shall
increase from approximately 74% to approximately 93% of the share capital of Polaris. Upon closing of the
transaction and receipt of final approvals from the stock exchanges on which Polaris is traded, the common
shares  of  Polaris  will  be  delisted  from  all  public  exchanges  on  which  the  Polaris  shares  are  traded.  The
public shareholders of Polaris who have yet to tender their shares to Virtusa India may offer their shares
for sale to Virtusa India at the Exit Price for a period of one year following the date of the delisting from
all stock exchanges on which Polaris common shares are listed. On February 12, 2018 Virtusa completed its
delisting  offer  with  successful  tender  to  purchase  additional  18.77%  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  Polaris
common  stock  from  Polaris  public  shareholders.  Virtusa  India  purchased  19,285,807  shares  of  Polaris
common  stock  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  approximately  $147,026  (Indian  rupees  9,453,998)
inclusive  of  transaction  costs.  On  February  12,  2018,  upon  the  closing  of  the  delisting  the  Company’s
ownership  interest  in  Polaris  increased  to  92.8%.  At  March  31,  2018  the  Company  is  yet  to  receive  the
approval from SEBI for the delisting. At March 31, 2018 the Company had 92.64% ownership interest on
Polaris  basic  shares  of  common  stock.  The  Polaris  shares  of  common  stock  are  not  redeemable  at
March 31, 2018 and remain classified in  permanent equity.

In  accordance  with  ASC  810-10,  changes  in  a  parent’s  ownership,  while  retaining  its  financial
controlling interest are accounted for as equity transactions. Therefore, the purchase of additional shares
of  Polaris  through  the  Company’s  Indian  subsidiary,  did  result  in  a  reduction  of  minority  interest  and  a
decrease  to  the  Company’s  equity.  In  connection  with  the  Polaris  delisting,  on  February  6,  2018,  the

(6) Investment Securities (Continued)

The Company evaluates investments with unrealized losses to determine if the losses are other than
temporary.  The  Company  has  determined  that  the  gross  unrealized  losses  on  its  available-for-sale
securities at March 31, 2018 are temporary. The Company conducts a periodic review and evaluation of its
investment  securities  to  determine  if  the  decline  in  fair  value  of  any  security  is  deemed  to  be
other-than-temporary.  Other-than-temporary  losses  are  reflected  in  earnings  as  a  charge  against  gain  on
sale of investments to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment
related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive  income.

The  following  tables  show  the  gross  unrealized  losses  and  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  investment
securities with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by
investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss
position at March 31, 2018 and March  31, 2017:

(7) Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in entities in which the Company owns between 20% and 50% of the voting interest or
otherwise  acquires  management  influence  are  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method  and  initially
recognized  at  cost.  Under  the  equity  method,  the  Company’s  share  of  the  post-acquisition  profits  and
losses is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2018, through its Polaris
subsidiary, the Company owns a 50% interest in Intellect Polaris Design LLC, an LLC which holds certain
real  estate  in  New  Jersey,  which  is  being  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting.  As  of
March 31, 2018, the difference between the carrying amount and our equity in net assets of this investment
was $528. This is due to fair value measurement of the investment upon the Polaris acquisition.

(8) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The  Company  uses  a  framework  for  measuring  fair  value  under  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles and enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that
would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  (an  exit  price)  in  the  principal  or  most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable
inputs  and  minimize  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs.  The  Company’s  financial  assets  and  liabilities
reflected in the consolidated financial statements at carrying value include marketable securities and other
financial  instruments  which  approximate  fair  value.  Fair  value  for  marketable  securities  is  determined
using  a  market  approach  based  on  quoted  market  prices  at  period  end  in  active  markets.  The  fair  value

122

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(8) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last
unobservable, that may be used to measure  fair value which  are the following:

(cid:129) Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets  for  identical  assets  or liabilities.

(cid:129) Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs
that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term
of the assets or liabilities.

(cid:129) Level  3—Unobservable  inputs  that  are  supported  by  little  or  no  market  activity  and  that  are

significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

An entity is allowed to elect to record financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value upon their

initial recognition on a contract- by-  contract basis.

(11) Debt

On  February  6,  2018,  in  connection  with  the  delisting  process  of  Polaris,  as  well  as  the  eTouch
acquisition,  the  Company  entered  into  a  credit  agreement  (the  ‘‘Credit  Agreement’’)  dated  as  of
February 6, 2018, by and among the Company, its guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party
thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill
Lynch,  Pierce,  Fenner  &  Smith  Incorporated,  as  joint  book  runners  and  lead  arrangers.  The  Credit
Agreement  replaces  the  prior  $300,000 credit  agreement  (‘‘Prior  Credit  Facility’’)  with  J.P.  Morgan
Securities and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. and provides for a $200,000 revolving
credit  facility  and  a  $250,000  delayed-draw  term  loan  (together,  the  ‘‘Credit  Facility’’).  To  finance  the
delisting process of Polaris and to refinance the balance on the Prior Credit Facility term loan balance of
$109,000 and line of credit balance of $75,000, on February 6, 2018, the Company drew down $180,000 of
the term loan and $55,000 of the line of credit on the Credit Agreement. On March 12, 2018 the company
drew down the remaining $70,000 on the term loan to finance the eTouch acquisition. Interest under these
facilities accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 3.0%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s
ratio  of  debt  to  adjusted  earnings  before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation,  amortization,  and  stock
compensation expense (‘‘EBITDA’’). The Company is required under the terms of the Credit Agreement
to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 we are
required  to  make  principal  payments  of  $3,125  per  quarter.  The  Credit  Agreement  includes  customary
maximum  debt  to  EBITDA  and  minimum  fixed  charge  coverage  covenants.  The  term  of  the  Credit
Agreement is five years ending February 6, 2023. At March 31, 2018, the interest rates on the term loan
and line of credit were 4.63% and 4.45% respectively.

The  Credit  Agreement  has  financial  covenants  that  require  that  the  Company  maintain  a  Total
Leverage  Ratio  of  not  more  than  3.50  to  1.00  commencing  with  December  31,  2017  and  for  all  quarters
thereafter  ending  prior  to  December  31,  2019  and  of  not  more  than  3.25  to  1.00  commencing  with
December  31,  2019  and  for  all  quarters  thereafter  ending  prior  to  September  30,  2020,  and  3.00  :  1.00,

125

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(11) Debt (Continued)

commencing with September 30, 2020 and tested for all quarters thereafter. The financial covenants also
require that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, commencing on December 31, 2017,
of not less than 1.25 to 1.00, as of the last day of any Reference Period. For purposes of these covenants,
‘‘Total  Leverage  Ratio’’  means,  as  of  the  last  day  of  any  fiscal  quarter,  the  ratio  of  Funded  Debt  to
Adjusted EBITDA for the reference period ended on such date. ‘‘Funded Debt’’ refers generally to total
indebtedness  to  third-parties  for  borrowed  money,  capital  leases,  deferred  purchase  price  and  earn-out
obligations  and  related  guarantees  and  ‘‘Adjusted  EBITDA’’  is  defined  as  consolidated  net  income  plus
(a) (i) GAAP depreciation and amortization, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expenses, (iii) fees
and  expenses  incurred  during  such  period  in  connection  with  the  Credit  Facility  and  loans  made
thereunder,  (iv)  fees  and  expenses  incurred  during  such  period  in  connection  with  any  permitted
acquisition, (v) one-time regulatory charges, (vi) other extraordinary and non-recurring losses or expenses,
and  (vii)  all  other  non-cash  charges,  expenses  and  losses  for  such  period,  (viii)  taxes  net  of  tax  credits,
minus (b) (i) extraordinary or non-recurring income or gains for such period, and (ii) any cash payments
made  during  such  period  in  respect  of  non-cash  charges,  expenses  or  losses  described  in  clauses  (a)(ii),
(a)(v) and (a)(vi) above taken in a prior period, subject to other adjustments and certain caps and limits on
adjustments. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated under the Credit Agreement generally as the
ratio  of  Adjusted  EBITDA,  excluding  capital  expenditures  made  during  such  period  (to  the  extent  not
financed  with  indebtedness  (other  than  Revolving  Loans),  an  issuance  of  equity  interests  or  capital
contributions,  or  proceeds  of  asset  sales,  the  proceeds  of  casualty  insurance  used  to  replace  or  restore
assets,  to  fixed  charges  (regularly  scheduled  consolidated  interest  expense  paid  in  cash,  plus  regularly
scheduled dividends paid in cash for such period on or with respect to any Disqualified Equity Interests,
including  the  Orogen  Series  A  Preferred  Stock,  regularly  scheduled  amortization  payments  on
indebtedness  in  cash,  income  taxes  paid  in  cash  and  the  interest  component  of  capital  lease  obligation
payments), on a consolidated basis.

The  Credit  Facility  is  secured  by  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  assets,  including  all  intellectual
property  and  all  securities  in  domestic  subsidiaries  (other  than  certain  domestic  subsidiaries  where  the
material assets of such subsidiaries are equity in foreign subsidiaries), subject to customary exceptions and
exclusions from the collateral. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed
by  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  material  direct  and  indirect  domestic  subsidiaries,  with  certain
exceptions. These guarantees are secured by substantially all of the present and future property and assets
of the guarantors, with certain exclusions.

At  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  is  in  compliance  with  our  debt  covenants  and  have  provided  a
quarterly  certification  to  our  lenders  to  that  effect.  We  believe  that  we  currently  meet  all  conditions  set
forth in the Credit Agreement to borrow thereunder and we are not aware of any conditions that would
prevent  us  from  borrowing  part  or  all  of  the  remaining  available  capacity  under  the  existing  revolving
credit facility at March 31, 2018 and through the  date of this filing.

In July 2016, the Company entered into 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transactions to
mitigate  Company’s  interest  rate  risk  on  Company’s  variable  rate  debt  (collectively,  ‘‘The  Interest  Rate
Swap  Agreements’’).  The  Company’s  objective  is  to  limit  the  variability  of  cash  flows  associated  with
changes in LIBOR interest rate payments due on the Prior Credit Agreement by using pay-fixed, receive-
variable  interest  rate  swaps  to  offset  the  future  variable  rate  interest  payments.  The  Company  will
recognize these transactions in accordance with ASC 815 ‘‘Derivatives and Hedging,’’ and have designated
the swaps as cash flow hedges.

(11) Debt (Continued)

The three Interest Rate Swap Agreements have an effective date of July 31, 2017 and a maturity date
of July 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2018, the swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $90,000 and hedge
approximately 29.5% of our outstanding debt balance. The notional amount of the swaps amortizes over
the remaining swap periods. The Interest Rate Swap Agreements require the Company to make monthly
fixed interest rate payments based on the amortized notional amount at a blended weighted average rate of
1.025% and the Company will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same notional amounts. The unrealized gain
associated with the 2016 Swap Agreement was $2,486 at March 31, 2018, which represents the estimated
amount that the Company would receive from the counterparties in  the event of an early termination.

The Credit Facility amortizes at a rate of 5% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the
term loan for first two years, 7.5% per annum in the third year, 10% in the fourth year and 15% in the fifth
year, in each case payable in equal quarterly instalments. To the extent funded, the delayed draw term loan
will amortize in equal quarterly instalments on  the same amortization schedule described above.

The  Credit  Facility  is  secured  by  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  assets,  including  all  intellectual
property  and  all  securities  in  domestic  subsidiaries  (other  than  certain  domestic  subsidiaries  where  the
material assets of such subsidiaries are equity in foreign subsidiaries), subject to customary exceptions and
exclusions from the collateral.

The  Credit  Agreement  contains  customary  affirmative  covenants  for  transactions  of  this  type  and
other affirmative covenants agreed to by the parties, including, among others, the provision of annual and
quarterly financial statements and compliance certificates, maintenance of property, insurance, compliance
with  laws  and  environmental  matters.  The  Credit  Agreement  contains  customary  negative  covenants,
including,  among  others,  restrictions  on  the  incurrence  of  indebtedness,  granting  of  liens,  making
investments  and  acquisitions,  paying  dividends,  repurchases  of  equity  interests  in  the  Company,  entering
into affiliate transactions and asset sales. The Credit Agreement also provides for a number of customary
events  of  default,  including,  among  others,  payment,  bankruptcy,  covenant,  representation  and  warranty,
change of control and judgment defaults.

Beginning in fiscal 2009, the Company’s U.K. subsidiary entered into an agreement with an unrelated
financial  institution  to  sell,  without  recourse  or  continuing  involvement,  certain  of  its  European-based
accounts receivable balances from one client to such third party financial institution. During the course of
the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  $25,704  of  receivables  were  sold  under  the  terms  of  the  financing
agreement. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement were immaterial during the fiscal year ended March 31,
2018. No amounts were due as of March 31, 2018, but the Company may elect to use this program again in
future  periods.  However,  the  Company  cannot  provide  any  assurances  that  this  or  any  other  financing
facilities will be available or utilized in  the future.

(12) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 3, 2017, the Company and Orogen Viper LLC (the ‘‘Purchaser’’), entered into an Investment
Agreement  (the  ‘‘Investment  Agreement’’),  pursuant  to  which  the  Company  issued  and  sold  to  the
Purchaser,  and  the  Purchaser  purchased  from  the  Company,  an  aggregate  of  70,000  shares  of  voting
convertible  preferred  stock  of  the  Company,  designated  as  the  Company’s  3.875%  Series  A  Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the ‘‘Series A Voting Preferred Stock’’), and 38,000 shares of a
separate  class  of  non-voting  convertible  preferred  stock  of  the  Company,  designated  as  the  Company’s

128

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(12) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Continued)

3.875%  Series  A-1  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  par  value  $0.01  per  share  (the  ‘‘Series  A-1  Preferred
Stock’’  and,  together  with  the  Series  A  Voting  Preferred  Stock,  the  ‘‘Series  A  Convertible  Preferred
Stock’’), in each case for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, representing $108,000 of gross proceeds to
the Company.

The  Investment  Agreement  provides  the  Purchaser  the  right,  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Series  A
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  to  appoint  a  director  to  serve  on  our  Board.  Pursuant  to  the  Investment
Agreement, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement
(the ‘‘Closing’’), our Board of Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) increased the size of the Board from nine directors
to  ten  directors  and  elected  Vikram  S.  Pandit,  the  initial  nominee  designated  by  the  Purchaser,  to  the
Board, subject to replacement pursuant to the procedures described in the Investment Agreement. Such
appointment right will terminate if the Purchaser and its affiliates fail to retain beneficial ownership of at
least  50%  of  the  number  of  shares  of  our  common  stock  underlying  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred
Stock held by the Purchaser immediately following the Closing.

Following  the  conversion  of  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  into  shares  of  our  common
stock, so long as the Purchaser retains beneficial ownership of at least 50% of the number of shares of our
common  stock  underlying  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  held  by  the  Purchaser  immediately
following the Closing, we have agreed to include one nominee of the Purchaser for election as a director of
the same class (whether Class I, Class II or Class III) as the other directors nominated by us for election at
our next meeting of stockholders following such conversion, and to renominate such individual thereafter
at  each  meeting  of  stockholders  electing  such  class  of  directors.  We  are  required  to  use  our  reasonable
efforts to cause the election of such person.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that
until the later of (1) the first date on which there is no Purchaser-affiliated director serving on our Board,
and (2) May 3, 2019 (the ‘‘Standstill Period’’), the Purchaser will not, among other things, subject to certain
exceptions  described  in  the  Investment  Agreement:  (i)  acquire  any  securities  of  the  Company  if,
immediately after such acquisition, the Purchaser would collectively own in the aggregate more than 20.0%
of  the  then  outstanding  common  stock  of  the  Company,  (ii)  propose  or  seek  to  effect  any  tender  or
exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the Company or its securities, or make any
public  statement  with  respect  to  such  transaction,  (iii)  make,  or  in  any  way  participate  in  any  ‘‘proxy
contest’’  or  other  solicitation  of  proxies,  (iv)  seek  election  or  appointment  to,  or  representation  on,  our
Board other than as set forth in the Investment Agreement or the Series A Certificate of Designations (as
defined below), or seek the removal of any of our directors, or (v) conduct any referendum of stockholders
of the Company or make or be the proponent of any  stockholder  proposal.

The  Investment  Agreement  restricts  the  Purchaser’s  ability  to  transfer  the  Series  A  Convertible
Preferred  Stock  or  shares  of  our  common  stock  issued  or  issuable  upon  conversion  of  the  Series  A
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  subject  to  certain  exceptions  specified  in  the  Investment  Agreement.  In
particular, prior to the earliest of (i) May 3, 2019, (ii) a change of control of the Company or entry into a
definitive  agreement  for  a  transaction  that,  if  consummated,  would  result  in  a  change  of  control  of  the
Company,  and  (iii)  the  later  of  May  3,  2018  and  the  first  date  on  which  there  is  no  Purchaser-affiliated
director  serving  on  our  Board,  the  Purchaser  will  be  restricted  from  selling,  offering,  transferring,
assigning,  pledging,  mortgaging,  hypothecating,  gifting  or  disposing  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred
Stock or shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred

129

(12) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Continued)

Stock.  Such  restrictions  also  prohibit  the  Purchaser  from  entering  into  or  engaging  in  any  hedge,  swap,
short  sale,  derivative  transaction  or  other  agreement  or  arrangement  that  transfers  any  ownership  of,  or
interests  in,  the  shares  of  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  or  shares  of  common  stock  issued  or
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. These restrictions do not apply to,
among others, transfers to affiliates or in  connection  with certain  third-party tender offers.

Subject  to  certain  limitations,  the  Investment  Agreement  provides  the  Purchaser  with  certain
registration  rights  for  the  shares  of  common  stock  underlying  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock
(including any shares issued or issuable as dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) held by
the  Purchaser.  The  Investment  Agreement  contains  other  customary  terms  for  private  investments  in
public companies, including representations, warranties  and covenants.

On May 3, 2017, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (i) a Certificate of the
Powers,  Designations,  Preferences  and  Rights  of  the  3.875%  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  (the  ‘‘Series  A
Certificate of Designations’’) and (ii) a Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of
the 3.875% Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the ‘‘Series A-1 Certificate of Designations’’ and, together with the
Series A Certificate of Designations, the ‘‘Certificates of Designations’’). Generally, except with respect to
certain voting rights, and a conversion trigger applicable to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock described below
as the ‘‘HSR Conversion,’’ the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock and the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock are substantially identical.

The  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  has  a  liquidation  preference  of  $1,000  per  share.  In
addition,  cumulative  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  dividends  accumulate  on  the  Series  A
Convertible  Preferred  Stock  at  a  rate  of  3.875%  per  annum,  and  are  payable  quarterly  in  arrears.  The
payments on such dividends may be paid in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock. We may
only  pay  such  dividends  in  shares  of  common  stock  on  or  after  August  1,  2018,  subject  to  an  aggregate
share  cap  and  so  long  as  we  have  paid  full  cumulative  dividends  on  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred
Stock  for  all  past  dividend  periods,  and  there  is  adequate  current  public  information  with  respect  to  the
Company and no volume limitations would apply to the resale of such shares, in each case under Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into
shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 27.77778 shares of the Company’s
common stock per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (which is equal to an initial conversion
price  of  approximately  $36.00  per  share  of  the  Company’s  common  stock),  subject  to  certain  customary
anti-dilution  adjustments.  If  at  any  time  after  May  3,  2020,  the  closing  sale  price  of  our  common  stock
exceeds 150% of the then applicable conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for at
least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company may cause some or all of
the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  to  be  converted  into  shares  of  common  stock  at  the  then
applicable conversion rate. Upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common
stock, we are required to pay all accumulated but unpaid dividends in additional shares of common stock
valued  at the then applicable conversion  price on the date of such  conversion.

Holders  of  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  are  entitled  to  vote  generally  with  the  holders  of
common stock on an as-converted basis (including with respect to election of the members of our Board).
Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are also entitled to certain limited special approval rights,

130

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(12) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Continued)

including  with  respect  to  amendments  to  the  Company’s  organizational  documents  that  have  an  adverse
effect  on  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  certain  issuances  of  senior  or  pari  passu  securities,
certain  purchases,  redemptions  or  other  acquisitions  of  junior  securities  or  payments,  dividends  or
distributions  thereon.  In  addition,  so  long  as  any  shares  of  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  are
outstanding  and  the  Purchaser  and  its  affiliates  collectively  beneficially  own  at  least  a  majority  of  the
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holders immediately following
the  Closing,  the  holders  of  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  voting  as  a  separate  class  by  majority
vote, are entitled to elect one director  to  serve on our Board.

Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights except as required by law and
with respect to amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the
Series  A-1  Preferred  Stock.  At  such  time  as  any  waiting  period  under  the  Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust
Improvements  Act  of  1976  applicable  to  the  acquisition  of  shares  of  Preferred  Stock  expires  or  is
terminated, all shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding shall immediately and
automatically  convert  on  a  one  for  one  basis  to  shares  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  (the  ‘‘HSR
Conversion’’).  Upon  such  HSR  Conversion  (which  occurred  in  May  2017),  all  accumulated  but  unpaid
dividends  on  such  shares  of  Series  A-1  Preferred  Stock  immediately  prior  to  such  HSR  Conversion
converted into an equivalent amount of accumulated but unpaid dividends on shares of Series A Preferred
Stock immediately following such HSR  Conversion.

With certain exceptions, upon a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificates of Designations),
the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may require that the Company repurchase for cash
all or any whole number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a per-share repurchase price
equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of such shares, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. If we
fail to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will increase
by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of the date that the Company is
required  to  effect  such  repurchase,  during  the  period  in  which  such  failure  to  effect  the  repurchase  is
continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase to more than 6.875% per annum. The definition
of Fundamental Change includes a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets, a change of control of the
Company  by  way  of  a  tender  offer,  merger  or  similar  event,  the  adoption  of  a  plan  relating  to  the
Company’s liquidation or dissolution and certain delistings of our common stock, except in certain cases
described in the Certificates of Designations in which the consideration received or to be received by the
Company’s common stockholders in a sale or change of control transaction consists primarily of publicly
listed and traded securities.

Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that are converted in connection with a Make-Whole
Fundamental  Change,  as  defined  in  the  Certificates  of  Designations,  are,  under  certain  circumstances,
entitled to an increase in the conversion rate for such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock based
on the effective date of such event and the applicable price attributable to the event as set forth in a table
contained  in  the  Certificates  of  Designations.  The  definition  of  Make-Whole  Fundamental  Change
includes a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets, a change of control of the Company by way of a
tender  offer,  merger  or  similar  event,  the  adoption  of  a  plan  relating  to  the  Company’s  liquidation  or
dissolution and certain delistings of our  common stock.

If  any  shares  of  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  have  not  been  converted  into  common  stock
prior to May 3, 2024, the Company will be required to repurchase such shares at a repurchase price equal

131

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(12) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Continued)

to  the  liquidation  preference  of  the  repurchased  shares  plus  the  amount  of  accumulated  and  unpaid
dividends  thereon.  If  we  fail  to  effect  such  repurchase,  the  dividend  rate  on  the  Series  A  Convertible
Preferred Stock will increase by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of
May 3, 2024 during the period in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the
dividend rate will not increase to more than  6.875% per annum.

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company incurred
direct  and  incremental  expenses  of  $1,154,  including  financial  advisory  fees,  closing  costs,  legal  expenses
and  other  offering-related  expenses.  These  issuance  costs  are  recorded  as  a  reduction  to  the  proceeds
received  from  issuance  of  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock.  These  direct  and  incremental  expenses
reduced  the  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  and  will  be  accreted  through  retained  earnings  as  a
deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the first possible known redemption date, May 3, 2024.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $150, as an accretion to the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative
dividend  at  the  rate  of  3.875%  per  annum,  payable  quarterly  in  arrears.  During  the  fiscal  year  ended
March 31, 2018, the Company has paid $3,127 as cash dividend on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
As  of  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  had  declared  and  accrued  dividends  of  $686  associated  with  the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(13) Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and  Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company’s Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘2000 Plan’’) was adopted in the
fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2001.  Under  the  2000  Plan,  shares  were  reserved  for  issuance  to  the
Company’s employees, directors, and consultants. As of March 31, 2018, there were no shares reserved for
issuance  under  this  plan.  Options  granted  under  the  2000  Plan  may  be  incentive  stock  options,
nonqualified stock options or restricted stock. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.
Options  granted  have  a  term  of  ten  years  and  generally  vest  over  four  years.  The  Company  settles
employee  stock  option  exercises  with  newly  issued  shares.  The  compensation  committee  of  the  board  of
directors determines (upon board of director approval) the term of awards on an individual case basis. The
exercise price of incentive stock options shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the
Company’s common stock on the grant date. If an individual owns stock representing more than 10% of
the outstanding shares, the price of each share shall be at least 110% of fair market value. In May 2007, the
Company’s board of directors determined that no further  grants would be  made under the 2000  Plan.

In  July  2005,  the  Company  adopted  the  Virtusa  Corporation  2005  Stock  Appreciation  Rights  Plan
(the ‘‘SAR Plan’’). Under the SAR Plan, the Company may grant up to 479,233 SARs to employees and
consultants  of  Virtusa  and  its  foreign  subsidiaries,  and  settles  the  SARs  in  cash  or  common  stock,  as  set
forth  in  the  SAR  Plan.  Prior  to  the  Company’s  initial  public  offering  (‘‘IPO’’),  the  SARs  could  only  be
settled  in  cash.  After  the  Company’s  IPO,  the  cash  settlement  feature  of  the  SARs  ceased  and  exercises
may  only  be  settled  in  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock.  In  May  2007,  the  Company’s  board  of
directors determined that no further  grants  would be made under the  SAR Plan.

The Company’s board of directors and its stockholders approved the Company’s 2007 Stock Option
and Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2007 Plan’’), in May 2007, and the stockholders of the Company again approved
the 2007 Plan in September 2008. The 2007 Plan permits the Company to make grants of incentive stock
options,  non-qualified  stock  options,  SARs,  deferred  stock  awards,  restricted  stock  awards,  unrestricted

132

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

(13) Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and  Stock Appreciation Rights (Continued)

stock awards, and dividend equivalent rights. The Company reserved 830,670 shares of its common stock
for the issuance of awards under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved
and available for issuance under the plan will be automatically increased each April 1, beginning in 2008,
by 2.9% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding March 31 or
such  lower  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  as  determined  by  the  board  of  directors.  This  number  is
subject  to  adjustment  in  the  event  of  a  stock  split,  stock  dividend  or  other  change  in  the  Company’s
capitalization.  Generally,  shares  that  are  forfeited,  cancelled  or  withheld  to  settle  tax  liabilities  from
awards under the 2007 Plan also will be available for future awards. In addition, available shares under the
2000  Plan  and  the  SAR  Plan,  as  a  result  of  the  forfeiture,  expiration,  cancellation,  termination  or  net
issuances of awards, are automatically made available for issuance under the 2007 Plan. In May 2015, the
Company’s board of directors determined that no further  grants would be  made under the 2007  Plan.

In May 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (‘‘2015 Plan’’) which
was  also  approved  the  Company’s  stockholders  on  September  1,  2015.  The  2015  Plan  replaces  the  2007
Plan  and  permits  the  granting  of  incentive  stock  options,  non-qualified  stock  options,  restricted  stock
awards,  restricted  stock  units,  unrestricted  stock  awards,  performance  share  awards,  performance-based
awards to covered employees, cash-based awards and dividend equivalent rights. Stock options, restricted
stock and restricted stock units generally vest over four years. Performance share awards and performance-
based awards generally vest over three years. The Company reserved 3,000,000 shares of its common stock
for the issuance of awards under the 2015 Plan as well as the number of shares of stock as is equal to the
shares  underlying  any  stock  options  and  awards  that  are  returned  to  the  Company’s  2007  Plan  after  the
2015  Plan’s  effective  date  as  a  result  of  the  expiration,  forfeiture,  acquisition  by  the  Company  prior  to
vesting, cancellation or termination of such stock options and awards (other than by exercise) as set forth
in the 2007 Plan. Additionally, shares that are forfeited or cancelled or otherwise terminated (other than
by  exercise)  or  held  back  by  the  Company  or  tendered  by  the  grantee  of  any  equity  award  to  settle
applicable  taxes  on  any  equity  award  under  the  2015  Plan  shall  be  added  back  to  the  shares  of  common
stock available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan. At March 31, 2018, the number of shares reserved
for issuance under the 2015 Plan was 1,671,797.

The  ultimate  realization  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  dependent  upon  management’s  assessment  of  the
Company’s  ability  to  generate  sufficient  taxable  income  to  realize  the  deferred  tax  assets  during  the
periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the historical level
of  taxable  income,  projections  for  future  taxable  income,  and  tax  planning  strategies  in  making  this
assessment.  Net  income  in  the  United  States  has  decreased,  resulting  in  net  losses  for  the  years  ended
March  31,  2018  and  2017.  The  Company  has  a  significant  deferred  tax  asset  in  the  United  States.  The
Company  assessed  the  available  positive  and  negative  evidence  to  estimate  if  sufficient  future  taxable
income will be generated to realize the existing deferred tax assets. The Company recorded a decrease to
the valuation allowance totaling $620 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 related to realization of
capital  losses,  which  was  recorded  in  income  tax  expense.  The  Company  has  determined  for  all  other
deferred assets that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient
taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. We continue to monitor all positive and negative evidence
related to this asset.

Net  loss  in  the  United  States  has  decreased  during  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018  compared
with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The Company has $24,045 of deferred tax assets in the United
States at March 31, 2018. The Company has not completed its valuation allowance assessment related to
the  Tax  Cuts  and  Jobs  Act  (the  ‘‘Tax  Act’’),  primarily  related  to  the  impact  of  the  global  intangible  low
taxed income (‘‘GILTI’’), interest expense limitation, foreign tax credit utilization and executive pay, which
might impact the need for a valuation  allowance.

(14) Income Taxes (Continued)

At March 31, 2018, the Company has $329 of US foreign tax credits which begin to expire in March
2022 and for which a full valuation allowance has been recorded, $2,506 of Indian Minimum Alternative
Tax (‘‘MAT’’) credits which begin to expire at various dates through March 2028, $14,024 of NOLs, which
begin to expire in 2037 and $1,136 of capital loss carryover which begin to expire in 2020. The Company
has determined that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient
taxable  income  to  realize  $15,461  of  these  deferred  tax  assets  for  which  a  valuation  allowance  is  not
provided.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $4,640 of net income tax expense
directly in other comprehensive income related to the unrealized gain/loss on available for sale securities,
the unrealized gain/loss on effective cash flow hedges and the foreign currency loss on certain long- term
intercompany balances. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $1,481 of
net  income  tax  benefit  related  to  a  windfall  in  the  tax  benefits  of  share-based  compensation  which  was
recorded  as  an  income  tax  benefit  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  income  (loss)  pursuant  to
ASU 2016-09.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was significantly impacted
by the Tax Act, enacted on December 22, 2017 by the U.S. government. The Company’s reported effective
tax rate is also impacted by jurisdictional mix of profits and losses in which the Company operates, foreign
statutory  tax  rates  in  effect,  unusual  or  infrequent  discrete  items  requiring  a  provision  during  the  period
and certain exemptions or tax holidays applicable to the Company. The Company’s aggregate income tax
rate in foreign jurisdictions is comparable to its income tax rate in the United States, as a result of the Tax
Act,  other  than  jurisdictions  in  which  the  Company  operates  and  applicable  tax  holiday  benefits  of  the
Company, obtained primarily in India  and  Sri Lanka.

The Tax Act contains several key tax provisions that will impact the Company, including the reduction
of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also includes a variety of
other changes, such as a repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings deemed repatriated, a limitation
on the tax deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of business asset expensing, and reduction in the
amount of executive pay that could qualify as a tax deduction, among others. The lower corporate income
tax rate will require the Company to remeasure its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassess
the  realizability  of  its  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities.  ASC  Topic  740,  Income  Taxes,  requires  the
Company  to  recognize  the  effect  of  the  tax  law  changes  in  the  period  of  enactment.  However,  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  has  issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  118,  Income  Tax  Accounting
Implications of the Tax Cuts and Job Act (‘‘SAB 118’’), which will allow the Company to record provisional
amounts during a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment of the Tax Act to finalize the
recording of the related tax impacts. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a
provisional charge of $17,834 for deemed repatriation of unremitted earnings and a provisional charge of
$4,890  primarily  to  remeasure  our  opening  U.S.  deferred  tax  assets  to  reflect  the  lower  statutory  rate  at
which  they  will  be  realized.  Both  provisional  charges  are  based  on  the  Company’s  reasonable  estimates.
The $17,834 for deemed repatriation will be paid over the next 8 years, of which approximately $1,427 is
included in income tax payable and $16,407 is included in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 2018.

Due to the complexities involved in determining the previously unremitted earnings of all our foreign
subsidiaries, the Company is still in the process of obtaining, preparing and analyzing the computations of

139

Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(14) Income Taxes (Continued)

accumulated  earnings  and  profits  balances  as  of  March  31,  2018.  We  are  continuing  to  analyze  certain
aspects of the Tax Act and may refine our estimates, which could potentially affect the measurement of our
net  deferred  tax  assets  or  give  rise  to  new  deferred  tax  amounts.  The  U.S.  Government  and  state  tax
authorities  are  expected  to  continue  to  issue  guidance  regarding  the  Tax  Act,  which  may  result  in
adjustments  to  our  provisional  estimates.  The  final  determination  of  these  provisional  amounts  will  be
completed  as  additional  information  becomes  available,  but  no  later  than  one  year  from  the  enactment
date.

The  changes  included  in  the  Tax  Act  are  broad  and  complex.  The  final  impacts  of  the  Tax  Act  may
differ from the above estimate, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations
of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in
accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates
or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the impacts, including impacts from changes
to current year earnings estimates and  foreign  exchange  rates of  foreign subsidiaries.

The  U.S.  Tax  Act  subjects  a  U.S.  shareholder  to  GILTI  earned  by  certain  foreign  subsidiaries.  The
FASB  Staff  Q&A,  Topic  740,  No.  5,  Accounting  for  Global  Intangible  Low-Taxed  Income,  states  that  an
entity  can  make  an  accounting  policy  election  to  either  recognize  deferred  taxes  for  temporary  basis
differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in
the  year  the  tax  is  incurred.  Given  the  complexity  of  the  GILTI  provisions,  we  are  still  evaluating  the
effects  of  the  GILTI  provisions  and  have  not  yet  determined  our  accounting  policy.  At  March  31,  2018,
because  we  are  still  evaluating  the  GILTI  provisions  and  our  analysis  of  future  taxable  income  that  is
subject  to  GILTI,  we  are  unable  to  make  a  reasonable  estimate  and  have  not  reflected  any  adjustments
related to GILTI in our financial statements. The Company continues to review the anticipated impacts of
the base erosion anti-abuse tax (‘‘BEAT’’), which is not effective until fiscal year 2019. The Company has
not  recorded  any  impact  associated  with  BEAT  in  the  tax  rate  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018.

The Company’s Indian subsidiaries operate several development centers in areas designated as a SEZ,
under  the  SEZ  Act  of  2005.  In  particular,  the  Company  was  approved  as  an  SEZ  Co-developer  and  has
built a campus on a 6.3 acre parcel of land in Hyderabad, India that has been designated as an SEZ. As an
SEZ Co-developer, the Company is entitled to certain tax benefits for any consecutive period of 10 years
during the 15 year period starting in fiscal year 2008. The Company has elected to claim SEZ Co-developer
income  tax  benefits  starting  in  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2013.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  leased
facilities in SEZ designated locations in Hyderabad and Chennai, India. The Company’s profits from the
Hyderabad and Chennai SEZ operations are eligible for certain income tax exemptions for a period of up
to 15 years beginning in fiscal March 31, 2009. The Company’s India profits ineligible for SEZ benefits are
subject to corporate income tax at the current rate of 34.6%. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and
March 31, 2014, the Company leased a facility in an SEZ designated location in Bangalore and Pune, India
each of which is eligible for tax holidays for up to 15 years beginning in the fiscal years ended March 31,
2013  and  March  31,  2014  respectively.  During  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2018  and  2016,  the
Company  established  new  units  in  Bangalore  and  Hyderabad,  respectively,  in  SEZ  designated  areas,  for
which it is eligible for tax holiday for up to 15 years. Based on the latest changes in tax laws, book profits of
SEZ  units  are  subject  to  MAT,  commencing  April  1,  2011,  which  will  continue  to  negatively  impact  the
Company’s cash flows.

In  addition,  the  Company’s  Sri  Lankan  subsidiary,  Virtusa  (Private)  Limited,  is  operating  under  a
12-year  income  tax  holiday  arrangement  that  is  set  to  expire  on  March  31,  2019  and  required  Virtusa
(Private)  Limited  to  retain  certain  job  creation  and  investment  criteria  through  the  expiration  of  the
holiday  period.  During  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  believes  it  had  fulfilled  its
hiring  and  investment  commitments  and  is  eligible  for  tax  holiday  through  March  2019.  The  current
agreement  provides  income  tax  exemption  for  all  export  business  income.  On  November  23,  2017,  the
Company  received  confirmation  from  the  Board  of  Investments  that  it  had  satisfied  investment  criteria
through March 31, 2017 and is eligible for holiday benefits. At March 31, 2018, the Company believes it is
eligible for continued benefits for the entire 12 year tax holiday.

The India and Sri Lanka income tax holidays reduced the overall tax provision and increased both net
income and diluted earnings per share in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 by $7,727
$7,973 and $7,477, respectively, and by $0.26, $0.27 and $0.25, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, two SEZ
tax holidays in Chennai and Hyderabad, India are in the tenth year, subject to a partial expiration of fifty
percent of their tax benefits through March 2018 and may be extended on a limited basis for an additional
five  years  per  unit  if  certain  reinvestment  criteria  are  met.  The  partial  expiration  of  SEZ  tax  holidays  in
Chennai  and  Hyderabad,  respectively,  negatively  impacted  net  income  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, by $899  and  $1,078 and by  $0.03 and $0.04, respectively.

The  Company  intends  to  indefinitely  reinvest  all  of  its  accumulated  and  future  foreign  earnings
outside  the  United  States.  At  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  had  $191,013  of  cash,  cash  equivalents,
short-term  investments  and  long-term  investments  that  would  otherwise  be  available  for  potential
distribution,  if  not  indefinitely  reinvested.  Due  to  the  various  methods  by  which  such  earnings  could  be
repatriated in the future, the amount of taxes attributable to the undistributed earnings are dependent on
circumstances  existing  if,  and  when  remittance  occurs.  The  Company  does  not  provide  for  U.S.  income
taxes on foreign currency translation or applicable withholding tax until a distribution is declared. In the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company repatriated $15,782 from Virtusa C.V., a subsidiary of the
Company, organized to finance the acquisition of Polaris. There was no  US tax was recorded during  the
current fiscal year as the distribution did not incur any tax under the new dividends received provisions in
the US Tax Act.

Due  to  the  geographical  scope  of  the  Company’s  operations,  the  Company  is  subject  to  tax
examinations  in  various  jurisdictions.  The  Company’s  ongoing  assessments  of  the  more-likely-than-not
outcomes of these examinations and related tax positions require judgment and can increase or decrease
the Company’s effective tax rate, as well as impact the Company’s operating results. The specific timing of
when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. The Company does not believe that
the outcome of any ongoing examination will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements
within  the  next  twelve  months.  The  Company’s  major  taxing  jurisdictions  include  the  United  States,  the
United Kingdom, India and Sri Lanka. In the United States, the Company remains subject to examination
for all tax years ended after March 31, 2014. In the foreign jurisdictions, the Company generally remains
subject to examination for tax years ended after  March 31, 2005.

Each  fiscal  year,  unrecognized  tax  benefits  may  be  adjusted  upon  the  closing  of  the  statute  of
limitations  for  income  tax  returns  filed  in  various  jurisdictions.  The  total  amount  of  unrecognized  tax
benefits that would reduce income tax expense and the effective income tax rate, if recognized, is $7,544,
$7,612  and  $6,693  as  of  March  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  Although  it  would  be  difficult  to

141

(14) Income Taxes (Continued)

anticipate the final outcome on timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, the Company
anticipates  that  $71  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits  will  reverse  during  the  twelve  month  period  ending
March  31,  2019  due  to  settlement  or  expiration  of  statute  of  limitations  on  open  tax  years.  All  of  these
benefits are expected to have an impact  on  the effective tax rate as they are realized.

The Company continues to classify accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in  income  tax  expense.  During  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2018  and  2017,  the  Company  expensed
accrued interest and penalties of $162 and $522, respectively, through income tax expense consistent with
its prior positions, to reflect interest and penalties on certain unrecognized tax benefits as part of income
tax.  The  total  accrued  interest  and  penalties,  including  foreign  currency  translation  relating  to  certain
foreign and domestic tax matters at March 31, 2018 and 2017, were $1,567 and $1,941, respectively. During
the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018,  the  Company’s  unrecognized  tax  benefits  decreased  by  $68.  The
decrease  in  the  unrecognized  tax  benefits  during  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2018  was  primarily
related  to  settlement  of  prior  tax  positions  of  or  matters  related  to  tax  returns  where  the  statute  of
limitations has expired. The net movement in unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2018  was  as  follows:  $166  benefit  recorded  to  income  tax  expense  and  $7  for  cash  settlements  offset  by
$106  to  other  comprehensive  income  (‘‘OCI’’)  for  foreign  currency  impact.  The  Company  has  recorded
unrecognized tax benefits in long-term  liabilities  if settlement  is not expected in the next year.

The  Company  has  been  under  income  tax  examination  in  India  and  the  U.K  and  the  United  states.
The Indian taxing authorities issued an assessment order with respect to their examination of the various
tax  returns  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2005  to  March  31,  2014  of  the  Company’s  Indian
subsidiary,  Virtusa  (India)  Private  Ltd,  now  merged  with  and  into  Virtusa  Consulting  Services  Private
Limited (collectively referred to as ‘‘Virtusa India’’). At issue were several matters, the most significant of
which was the redetermination of the arm’s-length profit which should be recorded by Virtusa India on the
intercompany  transactions  with  its  affiliates.  During  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2011,  the  Company
entered  into  a  competent  authority  settlement  and  settled  the  uncertain  tax  position  for  the  fiscal  years
ended March 31, 2004 and 2005. However, the redetermination of arm’s-length profit on transactions with
respect to the Company’s subsidiaries and Virtusa UK Limited has not been resolved and remains under
appeal for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The Company is currently appealing assessments for fiscal
years  ended  March  31,  2005  through  2014.  In  the  U.K.  the  Company  is  currently  under  examination  for

transfer pricing matters for the year ended March 2014. In the U.S. the IRS has initiated an examination of
fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and  March 31, 2017.

(15) Post-retirement Benefits

The Company has noncontributory defined benefit plans (the ‘‘Benefit Plans’’) covering its employees
in India and Sri Lanka as mandated by the Indian and Sri Lankan governments. Benefits are based on the
employee’s years of service and compensation at the time of termination. The Company uses March 31 as
the measurement date for its plans.

The  discount  rate  is  based  upon  high  quality  fixed  income  investments  in  India  and  Sri  Lanka.  The
discount rates at March 31, 2018 were used to measure the year-end benefit obligations and the pension
cost for the subsequent year.

To  determine  the  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  on  pension  plan  assets,  the  Company  considers
the current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories
of plan assets. The Company amortizes unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over a period no longer than
the average future service of employees.

The Company’s benefit obligations are described in the following tables. Accumulated and projected
benefit obligations (‘‘ABO’’ and ‘‘PBO’’, respectively) represent the obligations of a pension plan for past
service  as  of  the  measurement  date.  ABO  is  the  present  value  of  benefits  earned  to  date  with  benefits
computed  based  on  current  compensation  levels.  PBO  is  ABO  increased  to  reflect  expected  future
compensation.

(16) 401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan, qualified under Section 401(k)
of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  (the  ‘‘401(k)  Plan’’).  Eligible  employees  may  defer  a  portion  of  their
compensation into the Company’s 401(k) Plan on a pre-tax and/or Roth basis. The Company’s 401(k) Plan
currently  offers  a  safe  harbor  match  feature  that  provides  Company  matching  contributions  for  certain
employee  contributions.  For  the  fiscal  periods  ended  March  31,  2018  and  2017,  the  Company  recorded
$1,407 and $1,305 for the employer match, respectively. The Company’s 401(k) Plan may be amended at
the discretion of the Company’s board of directors to discontinue the safe harbor match program at any
time.

(17) Restructuring

During  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2017,  the  Company  implemented  certain  cost  saving
and restructuring initiatives related to a workforce reduction. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018,
the  Company  incurred  $1,371,  primarily  related  to  termination  benefits,  which  have  been  included  in
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  income.  The  Company
completed these initiatives by March  31,  2018.

Total rental expense for operating leases was approximately $12,011 $11,701 and $9,350 for the fiscal
years  ended  March  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  Total  amortization  expenses  for  the  assets
purchased under capital leases were $88, $116 and $130 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and
2016 respectively.

The Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences under its charter
or  by-laws  and  under  indemnification  agreements  while  the  officer  or  director  is,  or  was,  serving  at  its
request in a defined capacity. The term of the indemnification period is with respect to the period that such
person was an officer or director of the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments the
Company  could  be  required  to  make  under  these  indemnification  obligations  is  unlimited.  The  costs
incurred  to  defend  lawsuits  or  settle  claims  related  to  these  indemnification  obligations  have  not  been
material.  As  a  result,  the  Company  believes  that  its  estimated  exposure  on  these  obligations  is  minimal.
Accordingly, the Company had no liabilities  recorded for these obligations as of March 31,  2018.

The  Company  is  insured  against  any  actual  or  alleged  act,  error,  omission,  neglect,  misstatement  or
misleading  statement  or  breach  of  duty  by  any  current  or  former  officer,  director  or  employee  while
rendering  information  technology  services.  The  Company  believes  that  its  financial  exposure  from  such
actual or alleged actions, should they arise,  is minimal and no liability was recorded  at March  31, 2018.

The Company is not a party to any pending litigation or other legal proceedings that are likely to have

a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial  statements.

(20) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its foreign exchange policy on an ongoing basis to assess its ability to address
foreign  exchange  exposures  on  its  consolidated  balance  sheets,  statements  of  income  and  consolidated
statement  of  cash  flows  from  all  foreign  currencies,  including  most  significantly  the  U.K.  pound  sterling,

(thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(20) Derivative Financial Instruments  (Continued)

Indian  rupee  and  Sri  Lankan  rupee.  The  Company  enters  into  hedging  programs  with  highly  rated
financial institutions in accordance with its foreign exchange policy (as approved by the Company’s audit
committee and board of directors) which permits hedging of material, known foreign currency exposures.
There is no margin required, no cash collateral posted or received by us related to our foreign exchange
forward  contracts.  Currently,  the  Company  maintains  four  hedging  programs,  each  with  varying  contract
types, duration and purposes. The Company’s ‘‘Cash Flow Program’’ is designed to mitigate the impact of
volatility in the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company’s Indian rupee denominated expenses over a rolling
18-month period. The Cash Flow Program transactions currently meet the criteria for hedge accounting as
cash  flow  hedges.  In  addition,  as  part  of  the  Polaris  acquisition,  the  Company  has  assumed  a  cash  flow
program  designed  to  mitigate  the  impact  of  the  volatility  of  the  translation  of  Polaris  U.S.  dollar
denominated revenue into Indian rupees over a rolling 18 month period (‘‘Polaris Cash Flow Program’’).
These  cash  flow  hedges  meet  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting  as  cash  flow  hedges.  The  Company’s
‘‘Balance  Sheet  Program’’  involves  the  use  of  30-day  derivative  instruments  designed  to  mitigate  the
monthly  impact  of  foreign  exchange  gains/losses  on  certain  intercompany  balances  and  payments.  The
Company’s  Balance  Sheet  Program  is  currently  inactive.  The  Company’s  ‘‘Economic  Hedge  Program’’
involves the purchase of derivative instruments with maturities of up to 92 days, and is designed to mitigate
the impact of foreign exchange on U.K. pound sterling, the euro and Swedish krona denominated revenue
and  costs  with  respect  to  the  quarter  for  which  such  instruments  are  purchased.  The  Balance  Sheet
Program  and  the  Economic  Hedge  Program  are  treated  as  economic  hedges  as  these  programs  do  not
meet the criteria for hedge accounting and all gains and losses are recognized in consolidated statement of
income under the same line item as the  underlying exposure being  hedged.

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties on its
financial  instruments.  All  counterparties  currently  have  investment  grade  credit  ratings.  The  Company
anticipates that these counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The
Company has derivative contracts with  six  counterparties  as  of March  31, 2018.

The Company’s agreements with its counterparties contain provisions pursuant to which the Company
could  be  declared  in  default  of  its  derivative  obligations.  As  of  March  31,  2018,  the  Company  had  not
posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as
of March 31, 2018, it could have been required to settle its obligations under these agreements at amounts
which approximate the March 31, 2018 fair values reflected in the table below. During the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2018, the Company was not  in  default of any of its  derivative obligations.

Changes  in  fair  value  of  the  designated  cash  flow  hedges  for  our  Cash  Flow  Program  as  well  as  the
Polaris  Cash  Flow  Program  are  recorded  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income
(loss) (‘‘AOCI’’), net of tax until the forecasted hedged transactions occur and are then recognized in the
consolidated statements of income in the same line item as the item being hedged. The Company evaluates
hedge effectiveness at the time a contract is entered into, as well as on an ongoing basis. If and when hedge
relationships are discontinued, and should the forecasted transaction be deemed probable of not occurring
by the end of the originally specified period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter,
any related derivative amounts recorded in equity are reclassified to earnings in other income (expense).
There  were  no  amounts  reclassified  to  earnings  as  a  result  of  hedge  ineffectiveness  for  the  fiscal  year
ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

(20) Derivative Financial Instruments  (Continued)

Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  hedges  for  the  Balance  Sheet  Program  and  the  Economic  Hedge
Program,  if  any,  are  recognized  in  the  same  line  item  as  the  underlying  exposure  being  hedged  and  the
ineffective  portion  of  cash  flow  hedges,  if  any,  is  recognized  as  other  income  (expense).  The  Company
values  its  derivatives  based  on  market  observable  inputs  including  both  forward  and  spot  prices  for
currencies.  Any  significant  change  in  the  forward  or  spot  prices  for  hedged  currencies  would  have  a
significant impact on the value of the  Company’s derivatives.

The  U.S.  dollar  notional  value  of  all  outstanding  foreign  currency  derivative  contracts  was  $140,347
and  $153,435  at  March  31,  2018  and  2017,  respectively.  Unrealized  net  gains  related  to  these  contracts
which  are  expected  to  be  reclassified  from  AOCI  to  earnings  during  the  next  12  months  are  $1,086  at
March  31,  2018.  At  March  31,  2018,  the  maximum  outstanding  term  of  any  derivative  instrument  was
15 months.

The  Company  also  uses  interest  rate  swaps  to  mitigate  the  Company’s  interest  rate  risk  on  the
Company’s variable rate debt. The Company’s objective is to limit the variability of cash flows associated
with  changes  in  LIBOR  interest  rate  payments  due  on  the  Credit  Agreement  (see  note  11  to  the
Consolidated  financial  statements),  by  using  pay-fixed,  receive-variable  interest  rate  swaps  to  offset  the
future variable rate interest payments. The Company will recognize these transactions in accordance with
ASC 815 ‘‘Derivatives and Hedging,’’ and have designated the swaps as cash flow hedges.

The  Interest  Rate  Swap  Agreements  have  an  effective  date  of  July  31,  2017  and  a  maturity  date  of
July 31, 2020. The swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $90,000 and hedge approximately 29.5% of
the  Company’s  outstanding  debt  balance  as  of  March  31,  2018.  The  notional  amount  of  the  swaps
amortizes over the remaining swap periods. The Interest Rate Swap agreements require the Company to
make monthly fixed interest rate payments based on the amortized notional amount at a blended weighted
average rate of 1.025% and the Company will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same  notional  amounts.

The counterparties to the Interest Rate Swap Agreements could demand an early termination of the
2016 Swap Agreements if the Company is in default under the Prior Credit Agreement, or any agreement
that  amends  or  replaces  the  Prior  Credit  Agreement  in  which  the  counterparty  is  a  member,  and  the
Company  is  unable  to  cure  the  default.  An  event  of  default  under  the  Prior  Credit  Agreement  includes
customary  events  of  default  and  failure  to  comply  with  financial  covenants,  including  a  maximum
consolidated leverage ratio commencing on December 31, 2016, of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 for the first
year of the Prior Credit Agreement, of not more than 3.00 to 1.00 for the second year of the Prior Credit
Agreement, and 2.75 to 1.00 thereafter, each as determined for the four consecutive quarter period ending
on  each  fiscal  quarter  and  a  minimum  consolidated  fixed  charge  coverage  ratio  of  1.25  to  1.00.  As  of
March 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The unrealized gain associated with
the  2016  Swap  Agreements  was  $2,486  and  $1,842  at  March  31,  2018  and  March  31,  2017,  respectively,
which  represents  the  estimated  amount  that  the  Company  would  receive  from  the  counterparties  in  the
event of an early termination.

(21) Business Segment Information

Accounting  pronouncements  establish  standards  for  the  manner  in  which  public  companies  report
information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are
components  of  an  enterprise  about  which  separate  financial  information  is  available  that  is  evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision-maker on deciding on how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.  The  Company’s  chief  operating  decision-maker  is  considered  to  be  the  Company’s  Chief
Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on an
entity  level  basis  for  purposes  of  making  operating  decisions  and  assessing  financial  performance.
Therefore, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(1) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls  and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and the participation of our management of
the  effectiveness  of  the  design  and  operation  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities
Exchange  Act),  as  of  March  31,  2018.  Based  upon  that  evaluation,  our  principal  executive  officer  and
principal  financial  officer  concluded  that,  as  of  the  end  of  that  period,  our  disclosure  controls  and
procedures  are  effective  in  providing  reasonable  assurance  that  (a)  the  information  required  to  be
disclosed  by  us  in  the  reports  that  we  file  or  submit  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  is  recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and
(b)  such  information  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to  our  management,  including  our  principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.  In  designing  and  evaluating  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  our  management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable  assurance  of  achieving  the  desired  control  objectives,  and  our  management  necessarily  was
required  to  apply  its  judgment  in  evaluating  the  cost-benefit  relationship  of  possible  controls  and
procedures.

(2) Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial  Reporting

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over
financial  reporting.  Internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)
under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  as  a  process  designed  by,  or  under  the  supervision  of,  the  issuers
principal  executive  and  principal  financial  officers  or  other  persons  performing  similar  functions  and
effected  by  the  issuers  board  of  directors,  management  and  other  personnel  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. Our internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures  that:

(cid:129) pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the

transactions and dispositions of the assets of  the issuer;

(cid:129) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  the
receipts and expenditures of the issuers are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
the management and directors of the  issuer; and

(cid:129) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of the issuer’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. 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.

Our  management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of
March 31, 2018. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (‘‘COSO’’)  in  Internal  Control—Integrated
Framework 2013.

154

Based  on  this  assessment,  our  management  has  concluded  that,  as  of  March  31,  2018,  our  internal

control over financial reporting was effective based  on those criteria.

We have acquired all of the outstanding shares of eTouch Systems Corp. and eTouch Systems (India)
Pvt.  Ltd  (together  ‘‘eTouch’’)  on  March  12,  2018,  and  management  excluded  from  its  assessment  of  the
effectiveness  of  our  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  as  of  March  31,  2018  the  eTouch  internal
controls over financial reporting associated with 14.5% of total assets (of which 11.9% represents goodwill
and  intangible  assets)  and  0.6%  total  revenues  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the
Company as of and for the year ended March 31,  2018.

The  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  March  31,  2018  has  been
audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which
is included herein.

(3) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial  Reporting

There  were  no  changes  in  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  during  the  fourth  quarter  of
fiscal 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
