PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim
condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Perot Systems
Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions
eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the interim periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2006, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28,
2007. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Financial instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term and
long-term debt approximate their respective fair value. Fair values are based primarily on current
prices for those or similar instruments.
We use derivative financial instruments for the purpose of managing specific exposures as part
of our risk management program and hold all derivatives for purposes other than trading. To date,
our use of such instruments has been limited to foreign currency forward contracts and an interest
rate swap on borrowings under our credit facility entered into on February 15, 2007. This interest
rate swap effectively converts $75 million of our borrowings under our credit facility from a
variable-rate instrument into a fixed-rate instrument with an interest rate of 5.64%. We do not
currently utilize hedge accounting with regard to these derivatives and record all gains and losses
associated with such derivatives in the earnings of the appropriate period. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, we record the net fair value of the derivatives in accounts receivable,
net, and accrued and other current liabilities, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Significant accounting standards to be adopted
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting
Standard (FAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance for using fair value to
measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires or permits
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair
value to any new circumstances. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 157 is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which expands the use of
fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets and liabilities
to be carried at fair value. Under FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure
accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method
investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and other eligible financial instruments.
FAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 159 is not
expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
On January 30, 2007 we acquired all of the outstanding shares of QSS Group, Inc. (QSS), an
information technology services company providing services to the U.S. federal government. As a
result of the acquisition, we have gained several significant government-wide contracts and
expanded both the scope of services and the areas we serve within the Department of Homeland
Security and the Department of Defense. The initial purchase price for QSS was $244 million (net
of $1 million of cash acquired), $30 million of which is being held in an escrow account for up to
approximately 18 months for potential purchase price adjustments. Additionally, we are required to
pay approximately $4 million of state taxes withheld in the second quarter on behalf of the seller,
4
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
which will increase the total purchase price to $248 million. The purchase price was partially
funded by $75 million borrowed against our existing credit facility. The results of operations of
QSS and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in our
condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The allocation of
the QSS purchase consideration to the assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill, has not
been concluded due to the pending completion of tangible and intangible assets appraisals and
potential contractual purchase price adjustments relating to working capital targets. As of March
31, 2007, the estimated fair value of the acquired intangible assets totaled $50 million, resulting
in the estimated excess purchase price over net assets acquired of $170 million, which was recorded
as goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was assigned to the Government Services
segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the estimated adjusted fair values of the QSS assets acquired and
the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, which was January 30, 2007 (in millions):

In our opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations are not indicative of the
actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of
2007 or 2006, nor are they indicative of future operations of the combined companies under our
ownership and management.

straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 6 years. The weighted
average estimated useful life is approximately five years.

NOTE 6. CREDIT FACILITY
In January 2007, we borrowed an additional $75 million against our credit facility in connection
with our acquisition of QSS. Interest on this borrowing is at a variable rate based on 3 month
LIBOR and was 5.64% at March 31, 2007. On February 15, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap
agreement to effectively convert this borrowing into a fixed-rate instrument with an interest rate
of 5.64%. The interest rate at March 31, 2007 for our borrowing of $77 million made in March 2005
was 5.82%.
NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
At March 31, 2007, there were 121,251,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding and
817,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding. At December 31, 2006, there were
120,229,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding and 817,000 shares of our Class B Common
Stock outstanding.
NOTE 8. STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which requires employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under
stock participation plans to be accounted for under the fair value method. Prior to the adoption of
FAS 123R and as permitted by FAS 123 and FAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure, we elected to follow APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for our employee stock options and implemented the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123 and FAS
148. Under APB 25, stock compensation expense was recorded

when the exercise price of employee stock options was less than the fair value of the underlying
stock on the date of grant. We continue to account for options issued prior to our initial public
offering under APB 25 as required by FAS 123R.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, stock option compensation expense and costs
associated with our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) recorded in direct cost of services and
selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as the decrease in diluted earnings per
common share, were as follows:

at March 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value is $74 million and $43 million, respectively.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 32.4% as compared to 36.1% for the first
quarter of 2006. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2007 included a $2 million tax benefit
from the reduction of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in Europe, partially
offset by the effect of increased taxes from the expiration of one of our tax holidays in India and
increased state income taxes as a result of the Texas margin tax and the acquisition of QSS, which
operates in several high-tax states. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2006 included tax
expense of $1 million relating to the resolution of several tax issues raised in an audit by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including the impact from similar tax issues in open tax years.
7
While we are subject to examination by the tax authorities in each of the jurisdictions where we
operate, our principal tax jurisdictions are the United States, India, and the United Kingdom. We
are currently under examination by the IRS for tax years 2003 and 2004. We received a closing
agreement from the IRS in March 2007, which effectively closed all tax years prior to 2003 from
further examination. We are also under examination in India for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2002 through March 31, 2005 and are open for examination in the United Kingdom for calendar year
2005 and forward.
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109, which clarifies the
accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. Additionally, FIN 48 provides
guidance on the recognition, measurement, derecognition, classification and disclosure of tax
positions and on the accounting for related interest and penalties. As a result of the
implementation of FIN 48, we recognized an $18 million decrease in the reserves for uncertain tax
positions, which was recognized as an $8 million increase to retained earnings, a $5 million
decrease to goodwill to adjust unrecognized benefits recorded in the cost of acquired companies and
a $5 million increase to additional paid in capital to adjust uncertain positions recorded as a
component of shareholders equity. Following our adoption of FIN 48, the gross balance of
unrecognized tax benefits was $15 million at January 1, 2007, which excludes $3 million of
offsetting tax benefits, primarily from international tax treaties, which provide for relief from
double taxation. The net unrecognized tax benefits of $12 million includes $10 million that, if
recognized, would benefit our effective income tax rate and $2 million that, if recognized, would
reduce goodwill.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were
approximately $2 million as of both January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007. We do not anticipate a
significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
NOTE 10. SEGMENT DATA
We offer our services under three primary lines of business: Industry Solutions, Government
Services, and Consulting and Applications Solutions. Industry Solutions, our largest line of
business, provides services to our customers primarily under long-term contracts in strategic
relationships. These services include technology and business process services, as well as industry
domain-based, short-term project and consulting services. The Government Services segment provides
infrastructure support, application design and development, consulting, engineering, and
technology-based business process solutions for the Department of Defense, the Department of
Homeland Security, various federal intelligence agencies, and other governmental agencies.
Consulting and Applications Solutions provides software-related services, including the
implementation of prepackaged software applications, application development and maintenance, and
application systems migration and testing primarily under short-term contracts related to specific
projects. Other includes our remaining operating areas and corporate activities, income and
expenses that are not related to the operations of the other reportable segments, and the
elimination of intersegment revenue and direct costs of services of approximately $19 and $11
million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the provision of
services by the Consulting and Applications Solutions segment to the Industry Solutions and
Government Services segments.
The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies that we use for our consolidated
financial statements. Segment performance is evaluated based on income before taxes, exclusive of
income and expenses that are included in the Other category. Substantially all corporate and
centrally incurred costs are allocated to the segments based principally on expenses, employees,
square footage, or usage.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, outstanding options to purchase 3,829,000 and
6,512,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per common share because including them would be antidilutive. We determined whether an
option was dilutive or antidilutive by comparing the average market price of our common shares for
that period to the aggregate assumed proceeds from each stock option, measured as the sum of the
assumed cash proceeds from and excess tax benefits that would be recorded upon the exercise of each
stock option and the average unearned compensation cost on each stock option.
We have both Class A and Class B common stock outstanding. Our Class B shares are non-voting and
are convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class A shares at the election of the holder without
additional consideration, but otherwise are equivalent to our Class A shares. Because our two
classes of common stock have equivalent economic rights, including dividend rights, we have elected
to present our earnings per share on a combined basis.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
We are, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters. We do not believe that the
outcome of the litigation matters in which we are currently a party, either individually or taken
as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. However, we cannot predict with certainty any eventual loss or range of
possible loss related to such matters.
We currently purchase and intend to continue to purchase the types and amounts of insurance
coverage customary for the industry and geographies in which we operate. We have evaluated our
risk and consider the coverage we carry to be adequate both in type and amount for the business we
conduct.
IPO Allocation Securities Litigation
In July and August 2001, we, as well as some of our current and former officers and directors and
the investment banks that underwrote our initial public offering, were named as defendants in two
purported class action lawsuits seeking unspecified damages for alleged violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933. Theses cases focus on alleged
improper

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
practices of investment banks. Our case has been consolidated for pretrial purposes with
approximately 300 similar cases in the IPO Allocation Securities Litigation. We have accepted a
settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants under which plaintiffs would dismiss and
release all claims against all issuer defendants, in exchange for an assurance by the insurance
companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all of the IPO cases that the
plaintiffs will achieve a minimum recovery of $1 billion (including amounts recovered from the
underwriters). On April 24, 2006, the court held a fairness hearing with respect to the proposed
settlement, but has not yet issued a ruling.
In December 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the class certifications in the IPO
class action test cases, finding the predominance of common questions over individual questions
that is required for class certification cannot be met by those plaintiffs. The Second Circuit has
denied plaintiffs petition for a rehearing.
Other
In addition to the matters described above, we have been, and from time to time are, named as a
defendant in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business, including arbitrations,
class actions and other litigation involving commercial and employment disputes. Certain of these
proceedings include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for
indeterminate amounts of damages. We are contesting liability and/or the amount of damages, in
each pending matter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the information under the heading Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Lines of Business
We offer our services under three primary lines of business: Industry Solutions, Government
Services, and Consulting and Applications Solutions. Industry Solutions, our largest line of
business, provides services to our customers primarily under long-term contracts in strategic
relationships. These services include technology and business process services, as well as industry
domain-based, short-term project and consulting services. The Government Services segment provides
infrastructure support, application design and development, consulting, engineering, and
technology-based business process solutions for the Department of Defense, the Department of
Homeland Security, various federal intelligence agencies, and other governmental agencies.
Consulting and Applications Solutions provides software-related services, including the
implementation of prepackaged software applications, application development and maintenance, and
application systems migration and testing primarily under short-term contracts related to specific
projects.
Overview of Our Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2007
Our financial results are affected by a number of factors, including broad economic conditions, the
amount and type of technology spending by our customers, and the business strategies and financial
condition of our customers and the industries we serve, which could result in increases or
decreases in the amount of services that we provide to our customers and the pricing of such
services. Our ability to identify and effectively respond to these factors is important to our
future financial growth.
We evaluate our consolidated performance on the basis of several performance indicators. The four
key performance indicators we use are revenue growth, earnings growth, free cash flow, and the
value of contracts signed. We compare these key performance indicators to both annual target
amounts established by management and to our performance for prior periods. We establish the
targets for these key performance indicators primarily on an annual basis, but we may revise them
during the year. We assess our performance using these key indicators on a quarterly and annual
basis.
Effect of the End of Our Infrastructure Outsourcing Contract with UBS
UBS AG was our largest customer through December 31, 2006. Our infrastructure outsourcing contract
with UBS ended on January 1, 2007. During the first quarter of 2006, our UBS relationship generated
$73 million, or 13.5%, of our revenue, which included $65 million of revenue and $14 million of
gross profit from our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS that ended on January 1, 2007.
11
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We continue to provide offshore services to UBS, which are provided outside the scope of the
infrastructure outsourcing contract that ended on January 1, 2007. We do not expect significant
changes in the offshore services we provide to UBS as a result of the end of the infrastructure
outsourcing contract.
Revenue Growth
Revenue growth is a measure of the growth we generate through sales of services to new customers,
retention of existing contracts, acquisitions, and discretionary services from existing customers.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2007 grew by 8.9% as compared to the first quarter of 2006. As
discussed in more detail below, this revenue growth came primarily from the following:
|
|
Revenue from a company acquired during the first quarter of 2007 and a company acquired
during the first quarter of 2006 for which we did not recognize a full quarter of revenue
during the first quarter of 2006. |
|
|
A net increase in revenue from the expansion of base services and discretionary technology
investments by our existing long-term customers. |
|
|
Revenue from new contracts signed during the twelve-month period following the first
quarter of 2006 and from new contracts signed in the first quarter of 2006 for which we did
not recognize a full quarter of revenue. |
Partially offsetting these increases in revenue was the loss of revenue from our infrastructure
outsourcing contract with UBS that ended on January 1, 2007.
Earnings Growth
We measure earnings growth using diluted earnings per share, which is a measure of our
effectiveness in delivering profitable growth. Diluted earnings per share was $0.19 for the first
quarters of 2007 and 2006 and include the following underlying changes:
|
|
Profits from our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS decreased by $14 million in
2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of the end of the UBS contract. The loss from this
infrastructure outsourcing contract resulted in a decrease in earnings of approximately $0.07
per diluted share. |
|
|
This decrease was partially offset by an overall net increase in profitability from
existing commercial customer contracts, including two contracts that were modified in the
third quarter and fourth quarter of 2006. |
|
|
Additionally, in the first quarter of 2007, we reduced an income tax valuation allowance by
$2 million, which resulted in a benefit of approximately $0.02 per diluted share. |
Free Cash Flow
We calculate free cash flow on a trailing twelve month basis as net cash provided by operating
activities less purchases of property, equipment and purchased software, as stated in our condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows. We use free cash flow as a measure of our ability to
generate cash for both our short-term and long-term operating and business expansion needs. We use
a twelve-month period to measure our success in this area because of the significant variations
that typically occur on a quarterly basis due to the timing of certain cash payments. Free cash
flow for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, was $75 million as compared to $87 million for the
twelve months ended March 31, 2006. Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, can be reconciled
to Net cash provided by operating activities as follows (in millions):

PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As discussed below under Liquidity and Capital Resources, the increase in purchases of property,
equipment and purchased software was primarily related to our business expansion needs for data
center and office facilities.
TCV of Contracts Signed
The amount of Total Contract Value (commonly referred to as TCV) that we sell during a
twelve-month period is a measure of our success in capturing new business in the various
outsourcing and consulting markets in which we provide services and includes contracts with new
customers and contracts for new services with existing customers. We measure TCV as our estimate of
the total expected revenue from contracts that are expected to generate revenue in excess of a
defined amount during a contract term that exceeds a defined length of time.
Various factors may impact the timing of the signing of contracts with customers, including the
complexity of the contract, competitive pressures, and customer demands. As a result, we generally
measure our success in this area over a twelve-month period because of the significant variations
that typically occur in the amount of TCV signed during each quarterly period. During the
twelve-month period ending March 31, 2007, the amount of TCV signed was $1.8 billion, as compared
to $1.9 billion for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2006.
Additional Measurements
Each of our three primary lines of business has distinct economic factors, business trends, and
risks that could affect our results of operations. As a result, in addition to the four metrics
discussed above that we use to measure our consolidated financial performance, we use similar
metrics for each of these lines of business and for certain industry groups and operating units
within these lines of business.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenue
Revenue for the first quarter of 2007 increased from revenue for the first quarter of 2006 across
all segments. Below is a summary of our revenue for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the
first quarter of 2006 (amounts in millions):

Industry Solutions
The net increase in revenue from the Industry Solutions segment for the first quarter of 2007 as
compared to the first quarter of 2006 was primarily attributable to:
|
|
$37 million net increase from existing accounts and short-term project work. This net
increase resulted from expanding our base services to existing long-term customers and from
providing additional discretionary services to these customers. The discretionary services
that we provide, which include short-term project work, can vary from period-to-period
depending on many factors, including specific customer and industry needs and economic
conditions. This increase was primarily related to contracts in the healthcare industry. |
|
|
$24 million increase from new contracts signed during the twelve-month period following the
first quarter of 2006 and from new contracts signed in the first quarter of 2006 for which we
did not recognize a full quarter of revenue in 2006. This increase was composed of $17 million
and $7 million from new contracts signed in the Healthcare and Commercial Solutions groups, |
13
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
|
respectively. The services that we are providing to these new customers are primarily the same
services that we provide to the majority of our other long-term outsourcing customers. |
|
|
|
$9 million increase from revenue related to an acquisition within our Commercial Solutions
group during the first quarter of 2006 for which we did not recognize a full quarter of
revenue in 2006. The acquired company is a provider of product engineering outsourcing
services. |
Partially offsetting these increases in revenue was a $64 million decrease in revenue from the
expiration of our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS on January 1, 2007.
Net increases in revenue from contracts in the healthcare industry are largely due to changes in
the healthcare industry, which has required increased system investment by our customers and new
customers. Because of the complexities associated with system changes, combined with our customers
desire to focus on core functions, the healthcare outsourcing market has experienced increased
levels of business. The strength in healthcare revenue comes primarily from two factors:
|
|
Our solutions for the healthcare market were developed over several years and are highly
customized to the specific business needs of the market. We identified certain aspects of the
healthcare market as core to our long-term service offerings several years ago when the market
for technology and business process services was immature. As a result, we have an established
presence and brand, which we have strengthened primarily through internal investments in
software and solutions. |
|
|
The healthcare industry continues to be in a state of change as health systems look to
transform their clinical and administrative back-office operations, payer organizations work
to develop new consumer-based health models, and as the rate of medical cost inflation
continues to be high. Clinical transformation revolutionizes the way in which the healthcare
provider community uses information technology to automate the clinical process resulting in
improvements in both healthcare quality and efficiency. |
Government Services
The $38 million, or 50.0%, net increase in revenue from the Government Services segment for the
first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 was primarily attributable to the
$42 million in revenue from the acquisition of QSS Group, Inc. (QSS), an information technology
services company providing services to the U.S. federal government. This increase in revenue was
partially offset by a loss of a recompete contract and a decrease in project work associated with
our support of the Department of Defense. Our business with the federal government will fluctuate
due to annual federal funding limits and the specific needs of the federal agencies we serve.
Consulting and Applications Solutions
Revenue from the Consulting and Applications Solutions segment of $52 million for the first quarter
of 2007, net of the elimination of intersegment revenue of $19 million, increased $4 million as
compared to revenue of $48 million for the first quarter of 2006, net of the elimination of
intersegment revenue of $11 million. This net increase was primarily attributable to an increase in
the demand for application development and maintenance services from existing customers in the
financial services industry. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in revenue from the
implementation of prepackaged software applications. Intersegment revenue relates to the provision
of services by the Consulting and Applications Solutions segment to the Industry Solutions and
Government Services segments.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, which is calculated as gross profit divided by revenue, for the first quarter of 2007
was 17.8% of revenue, which is lower than the gross margin for the first quarter of 2006 of 18.3%.
This year-to-year decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the following:
|
|
In the first quarter of 2007, we acquired QSS within our Government Services group. The
gross margins associated with the acquisition are typically lower than those we realize within
our consolidated margins because of the cost plus nature of their work. |
14
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
|
A $14 million decrease in gross profit from the expiration of our infrastructure
outsourcing contract with UBS that is reported within the Industry Solutions line of business. |
Partially offsetting these decreases were an overall net increase in profitability for existing
commercial customer contracts, including two contracts that were modified in the third quarter and
fourth quarter of 2006, and a reduction to incentive compensation expense.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2007 increased 10.9% to $71
million from $64 million for the first quarter of 2006. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A for the
first quarter of 2007 was 12.0% of revenue, which is slightly higher than SG&A for the first
quarter of 2006 of 11.8% of revenue. The increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in
amortization of intangible assets related to the QSS acquisition.
Other Income Statement Items
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 32.4% as compared to 36.1% for the first
quarter of 2006. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2007 included a $2 million tax benefit
from the reduction of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in Europe, partially
offset by the effect of increased taxes from the expiration of one of our tax holidays in India and
increased state income taxes as a result of the Texas margin tax and the acquisition of QSS, which
operates in several high-tax states. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2006 included tax
expense of $1 million relating to the resolution of several tax issues raised in an audit by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including the impact from similar tax issues in open tax years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2007, we have cash and cash equivalents of $145 million and short-term investments of
$21 million. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, expected
cash flows from operating activities, and the $123 million that is available under our restated and
amended credit facility, will provide us sufficient funds to meet our operating needs for the
foreseeable future. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents
decreased 42.0% to $145 million from $250 million at December 31, 2006, primarily due to our
acquisition of QSS.
Operating Activities
Net cash
used in operating activities was $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as
compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to the following:
|
|
Cash provided by changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to cash provided of $19 million for the same
period of the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the timing of vendor payments. |
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, there was a decrease of $13 million in
deferred revenue received from clients as compared to the same period in 2006. |
|
|
Bonuses paid to associates under our bonus plans in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006
(including payments of annual bonuses relating to the previous years bonus plan) were $42
million and $53 million, respectively. Included in these bonus amounts paid were approximately
$6 million and $23 million of bonus payments that are reimbursable by our customers. The
amount of bonuses that we pay each year is based on several factors, including our financial
performance and managements discretion. |
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $154 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $38 million for the same period in 2006.
This change was primarily attributable to the following:
15
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we paid $244 million, net of cash acquired,
for the acquisition of QSS, an information technology services company providing services to
the U.S. federal government. |
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we liquidated short-term investments of $112
million, net. |
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we purchased $21 million of property,
equipment and purchased software as compared to $17 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily related to our business expansion needs for data
center and office facilities. |
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we paid $21 million for the acquisition of
eServ LLC, a leading provider of high-end product engineering outsourcing services. |
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $86 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $13 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to the additional $75 million borrowed
against our restated and amended credit facility in connection with our acquisition of QSS.
We routinely maintain cash balances in certain European and Asian currencies to fund operations in
those regions. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, foreign exchange rate fluctuations had
a net positive impact on our non-domestic cash balances of $1 million, as the U.S. dollar weakened
against the Indian Rupee, Euro, Singapore Dollar, and other currencies. We manage foreign exchange
exposures that are likely to significantly impact net income or working capital. At March 31, 2007,
we had forward contracts to purchase and sell various currencies in the amount of $85 million,
which expire at various times before the end of 2008.
Contractual Obligations
We have contractual obligations for operating leases, long-term debt, and interest on long-term
debt that were summarized in a table of Contractual Obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006. Since December 31, 2006, there have been no material changes
to the contractual obligations of the company, outside of the ordinary course of business, except
for our liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As discussed in Note 9, Income Taxes of the
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted the provisions of FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 as of January 1, 2007. At March 31, 2007, we had a liability for unrecognized
tax benefits and payment of related interest totaling $15 million, all of which is expected to be
paid after one year. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate when cash settlement
with a taxing liability will occur.
Significant accounting standards to be adopted
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting
Standard (FAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance for using fair value to
measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires or permits
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair
value to any new circumstances. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 157 is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which expands the use of
fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets and liabilities
to be carried at fair value. Under FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure
accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method
investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and other eligible financial instruments.
FAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 159 is not
expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currencies as of December 31, 2006, see
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A, Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.
On February 15, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts $75
million of the $152 million of borrowings under our credit facility from a variable-rate instrument
to a fixed-rate instrument with an interest rate of 5.64% in order to manage our interest rate
risk. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the interest rate would
increase our net expense by approximately $407 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2007.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over
financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters. We do not believe that the
outcome of the litigation matters in which we are currently a party, either individually or taken
as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. However, we cannot predict with certainty any eventual loss or range of
possible loss related to such matters.
We currently purchase and intend to continue to purchase the types and amounts of insurance
coverage customary for the industry and geographies in which we operate. We have evaluated our
risk and consider the coverage we carry to be adequate both in type and amount for the business we
conduct.
IPO Allocation Securities Litigation
In July and August 2001, we, as well as some of our current and former officers and directors and
the investment banks that underwrote our initial public offering, were named as defendants in two
purported class action lawsuits seeking unspecified damages for alleged violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933. Theses cases focus on alleged
improper practices of investment banks. Our case has been consolidated for pretrial purposes with
approximately 300 similar cases in the IPO Allocation Securities Litigation. We have accepted a
settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants under which plaintiffs would dismiss and
release all claims against all issuer defendants, in exchange for an assurance by the insurance
companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all of the IPO cases that the
plaintiffs will achieve a minimum recovery of $1 billion (including amounts recovered from the
underwriters). On April 24, 2006, the court held a fairness hearing with respect to the proposed
settlement, but has not yet issued a ruling.
In December 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the class certifications in the IPO
class action test cases, finding the predominance of common questions over individual questions
that is required for class certification cannot be met by those plaintiffs. The Second Circuit has
denied plaintiffs petition for a rehearing.

Other
In addition to the matters described above, we have been, and from time to time are, named as a
defendant in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business, including arbitrations,
class actions and other litigation involving commercial and employment disputes. Certain of these
proceedings include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for
indeterminate amounts of damages. We are contesting liability and/or the amount of damages, in
each pending matter.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
In evaluating all forward-looking statements, you should specifically consider various factors that
may cause actual results to vary from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Please
refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov, for additional information
regarding risk factors.
