Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Company Overview - We are a global software company that simplifies the development, deployment and management of business applications on-premise or in the cloud, on any platform or device, to any data source, with enhanced performance, minimal IT complexity and low total cost of ownership. Our comprehensive portfolio of products provides leading solutions for rapid application development, broad data integration and efficient data analysis. Our solutions are used across a variety of industries.
Our products are generally sold as perpetual licenses, but certain products and business activities also use term licensing models and our new Progress Pacific platform offering uses a subscription based model. More than half of our worldwide license revenue is realized through relationships with indirect channel partners, principally application partners and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Application partners are independent software vendors (ISVs) that develop and market applications using our technology and resell our products in conjunction with sales of their own products that incorporate our technology. OEMs are companies that embed our products into their own software products or devices.
During fiscal years 2012 and 2013, we completed divestitures of the eleven product lines which were not considered core product lines of our business. The divestitures were part of our strategic plan announced during fiscal year 2012. After the closing of all these divestitures, we now operate as one reportable segment. In addition, the revenues and direct expenses of the product lines divested are included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income, including prior period amounts which have been revised to reflect the presentation.
We operate in North America and Latin America (the Americas); Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and the Asia Pacific region, through local subsidiaries as well as independent distributors.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.
We made no significant changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05). ASU 2013-05 provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Such amounts are classified on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):

| February 28, 2014 |  | November 30, 2013
| Cash and Equivalents |  | Short-Term Investments |  | Long-Term Investments |  | Cash and Equivalents |  | Short-Term Investments |  | Long-Term Investments

For each of our ARS for which the issuer is not in default, we evaluated the risks related to the structure, collateral and liquidity of the investment, and forecasted the probability of issuer default, auction failure and a successful auction at par or a redemption at par for each future auction period. The weighted average cash flow for each period was then discounted back to present value for each security. Based on this methodology, we determined that the fair value of our ARS investments is $25.1 million and $24.8 million at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. The temporary impairment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss to reduce the value of our available-for-sale ARS investments was $3.6 million and $4.0 million at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. We will not be able to access the funds associated with our ARS investments until future auctions for these ARS are successful, we sell the securities in a secondary market, or they are redeemed by the issuer. As such, these remaining investments currently lack short-term liquidity and are therefore classified as long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the exit bankruptcy plan for an issuer of one of our ARS, which was in default and on whose behalf the underlying bond insurer was making interest payments, was approved by a federal bankruptcy judge in federal court. The exit bankruptcy plan included a settlement provision with the holders of the ARS, which were given the option to receive 80% of the par value of their holdings, but renounce their claim with the bond issuer, or receive 65% of the

Table of Contents
par value of their holdings and retain their insurance rights. We accepted the 80% settlement offer and as a result we adjusted the fair value of this ARS to the amount of the settlement as of November 30, 2013. The previously recorded unrealized loss associated with this ARS has been recorded as a realized loss in fiscal year 2013 due to the settlement. As this investment no longer lacked short-term liquidity, it was classified as a short-term investment on our consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2013. We received the settlement in December 2013 and the related ARS is no longer held and, accordingly, is not included in our ARS investments as of February 28, 2014.
Based on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $248.0 million, expected operating cash flows and the availability of funds under our revolving credit facility, we do not anticipate that the lack of liquidity associated with our ARS will adversely affect our ability to conduct business and believe we have the ability to hold the affected securities throughout the currently estimated recovery period. Therefore, the impairment of these securities is considered only temporary in nature. If the credit rating of either the security issuer or the third-party insurer underlying the investments deteriorates significantly, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of the ARS through an other-than-temporary impairment charge to earnings.
The fair value of debt securities by contractual maturity is as follows (in thousands):

| February 28, 2014 |  | November 30, 2013
Due in one year or less (1) | $ | 41,899 |  |  | $ | 42,198 |
Due after one year (2) | 11,904 |  |  | 15,185 |
Total | $ | 53,803 |  |  | $ | 57,383 |

(1) | Includes ARS which are tendered for interest-rate setting purposes periodically throughout the year. Beginning in February 2008, auctions for these securities began to fail, and therefore these investments currently lack short-term liquidity. The remaining contractual maturities of these securities range from 10 to 29 years.

(2) | Includes state and municipal bond obligations, which are securities representing investments available for current operations and are classified as current in the consolidated balance sheets.

The unrealized losses associated with ARS are discussed above. Any unrealized losses associated with state and municipal bond obligations are attributable to changes in interest rates. Management does not believe any unrealized losses associated with state and municipal bond obligations represent other-than-temporary impairments based on our evaluation of available evidence as of February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013.

Note 3: Derivative Instruments
We generally use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on accounts receivable and collections denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries. All forward contracts are recorded at fair value in other current assets or other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and expire within 90 days. In the three months ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, realized and unrealized losses of $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of income. These losses were substantially offset by realized and unrealized gains on the offsetting positions.

Table of Contents
When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, we are required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument.
The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 3 assets, which consists of ARS, is primarily an income approach, where the expected weighted average future cash flows are discounted back to present value for each asset. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our ARS are the probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity, the probability of principal return prior to maturity, the probability of default, the liquidity risk premium and the recovery rate in default. Generally, interrelationships are such that a change in the assumptions used for the probability of principal return prior to maturity is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in one or more the following assumptions: the probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity, the probability of default and the liquidity risk premium. The recovery rate in default is somewhat independent and based upon the ARS' specific underlying assets and published recovery rate studies.
The following table provides additional quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in our Level 3 asset valuations as of February 28, 2014:

| Valuation Technique |  | Unobservable Input |  | Range (Weighted Average)
Auction rate securities | Discounted cash flow |  | Probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity |  | 0.2% - 10.8% (1.9%)
|  |  | Probability of principal return prior to maturity |  | 75.1% - 94.7% (86.5%)
|  |  | Probability of default |  | 4.3% - 24.7% (11.6%)
|  |  | Liquidity risk premium |  | 3.5%
|  |  | Recovery rate in default |  | 50% - 70% (56.5%)

Significant increases or decreases in the underlying assumptions used to value the ARS could significantly increase or decrease the fair value estimates recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table reflects the activity for our financial assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for each period presented (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended
| February 28, 2014 |  | February 28, 2013
Balance, beginning of period | $ | 24,761 |  |  | $ | 26,321 |

Unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive loss | 349 |  |  | 146 |
Balance, end of period | $ | 25,110 |  |  | $ | 26,442 |

We have also classified contingent consideration related to the Rollbase, Inc. acquisition (Rollbase), which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is derived using significant unobservable inputs, which include discount rates and probability-weighted cash flows. We determined the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from probability assessments of the attainment of certain milestones. We establish discount rates to be utilized in our valuation models based on the cost to borrow that would be required by a market participant for similar instruments. In determining the probability of attaining certain milestones, we utilize data regarding similar milestone events from our own experience. On a quarterly basis, we reassess the probability factors associated with the milestones for our contingent consideration obligations. Significant

judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these key assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period.
The key assumptions as of February 28, 2014 related to the contingent consideration for the acquisition of Rollbase used in the model are probabilities in excess of 95% that the milestones associated with the contingent consideration will be achieved and a discount rate of 4.8%. A decrease in the probabilities of achievement could result in a decrease to the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability. During the three months ended February 28, 2014, the change in the fair value of the liability was minimal.
We did not have any nonrecurring fair value measurements as of February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013.
Note 5: Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of the following significant classes (in thousands):

| February 28, 2014 |  | November 30, 2013
| Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Book Value |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Book Value

2016 | 1,906 |
2017 | 1,906 |
2018 | 1,092 |
Thereafter | — |
Total | $ | 9,257 |

Goodwill
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in the three months ended February 28, 2014 are due to foreign currency translations. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we completed our annual testing for impairment of goodwill and, based on those tests, concluded that no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 15, 2013. Through the date and time our condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, no triggering events have occurred that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill exists.
Note 6: Divestitures
During fiscal years 2012 and 2013, we completed divestitures of the eleven product lines which were not considered core product lines of our business: Actional, Apama, Artix, DataXtend, FuseSource, ObjectStore, Orbacus, Orbix, Savvion, Shadow and Sonic. The FuseSource and Shadow product lines were divested in fiscal year 2012. The remaining product lines, excluding Apama, were divested in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The Apama product line was divested in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The divestitures were part of our strategic plan announced during fiscal year 2012.

Table of Contents
Revenues and direct expenses of the divested product lines have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Specifically, the fiscal year 2013 income from discontinued operations now includes the revenues and direct expenses of the product lines which had not been divested prior to the start of fiscal year 2013.
The components included in discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of income are as follows (in thousands):

Note 7: Business Combinations
On May 24, 2013, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Rollbase, Inc. (Rollbase), a privately held software vendor based in Saratoga, California, for $9.9 million. The purchase consideration consisted of $9.5 million in cash paid and $0.4 million of contingent consideration, expected to be paid out over a two year period. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $0.4 million at the date of acquisition. Rollbase provides application development software technology that allows the rapid design, development and deployment of on-demand business applications. The purpose of the acquisition was to further our strategic plan in which we intend to become a leading provider of a next-generation, context-aware application development and deployment platform in the cloud for the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) market. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of Rollbase are included in our operating results from the date of acquisition. We paid the purchase price in cash from available funds.
The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

| Total |  | Life
Cash | $ | 50 |  |  |
Acquired intangible assets | 7,960 |  |  | 1 to 5 years
Goodwill | 4,798 |  |  |
Deferred taxes | (2,921 | ) |  |
Accounts payable and other liabilities | (8 | ) |  |
Net assets acquired | $ | 9,879 |  |  |

The stock purchase agreement included contingent earn-out provisions requiring us to make payments to former Rollbase owners now employed by the Company. We have concluded that the earn-out provisions for the individuals now employed by the Company, which total approximately $5.0 million, are compensation arrangements and we will accrue the maximum payouts ratably over the two year performance period, as we believe it is probable that the criteria will be met. We have incurred $0.9 million of expense related to the contingent earn-out provisions for the three months ended February 28, 2014. This amount is recorded as acquisition-related expense in our consolidated statement of operations.
We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $4.8 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of the purchase price was completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets and acquired deferred tax liabilities.
We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of Rollbase since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 8: Line of Credit
Our credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150.0 million, with a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million and swing line loans up to $20.0 million. The credit facility also permits us to increase the revolving line of credit by up to an additional $75.0 million subject to receiving further commitments from lenders and certain other conditions. As of February 28, 2014, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line and $0.8 million of letters of credit.
Note 9: Common Stock Repurchases
We repurchased and retired 0.4 million shares of our common stock for $9.8 million in the three months ended February 28, 2014. The shares were repurchased as part of our Board of Directors authorized $100.0 million share repurchase program. In the three months ended February 28, 2013, we repurchased 4,783,000 shares of our common stock for $106.3 million.
Note 10: Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using the current market price of the stock or the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we granted performance-based restricted stock units that include a three-year market condition. In order to estimate the fair value of such awards, we used a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 or 5 years for options and 3 years for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards.
The following table provides the classification of stock-based compensation as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended
| February 28, 2014 |  | February 28, 2013
Cost of maintenance and services | 152 |  |  | 209 |
Sales and marketing | 1,199 |  |  | 1,039 |
Product development | 1,353 |  |  | 1,463 |
General and administrative | 2,841 |  |  | 1,778 |
Stock-based compensation from continuing operations | 5,545 |  |  | 4,489 |
Income from discontinued operations | — |  |  | 417 |
Total stock-based compensation | $ | 5,545 |  |  | $ | 4,906 |

Note 11: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated balances of other comprehensive loss during the three months ended February 28, 2014 (in thousands):

| Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment |  | Unrealized Gains (Losses) on investments |  | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balance, December 1, 2013 | $ | (9,249 | ) |  | $ | (2,410 | ) |  | $ | (11,659 | )
Other comprehensive income before reclassifications, net of tax | 149 |  |  | 225 |  |  | 374 |
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Balance, February 28, 2014 | $ | (9,100 | ) |  | $ | (2,185 | ) |  | $ | (11,285 | )

The tax effect on accumulated unrealized losses on investments was $1.3 million and $1.4 million as of February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively.

Note 12: Restructuring Charges
2013 Restructuring
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our operations as a result of the sale of the Apama product line and the divestitures completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. We reduced our global workforce primarily within the administrative and sales organizations. This workforce reduction was conducted across all geographies and also resulted in the closing of certain facilities.
Restructuring expenses relate to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, outplacement services and transition divestiture arrangements (but excluding stock-based compensation), and facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. Other costs include costs to terminate automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction, asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as part of cost reduction strategies, costs for unused software licenses as part of the workforce reduction and other costs directly associated with the restructuring actions taken.
As part of the 2013 restructuring, for the three months ended February 28, 2014, we incurred expenses totaling $0.2 million, of which the majority represents excess facilities and other costs. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2013 restructuring.
A summary of activity for the 2013 restructuring action is as follows (in thousands):

| Excess Facilities and Other Costs |  | Employee Severance and Related Benefits |  | Total
Balance, December 1, 2013 | $ | 569 |  |  | $ | 1,077 |  |  | $ | 1,646 |
Costs incurred | 152 |  |  | 7 |  |  | 159 |
Cash disbursements | (250 | ) |  | (981 | ) |  | (1,231 | )
Translation adjustments and other | (7 | ) |  | 4 |  |  | (3 | )
Balance, February 28, 2014 | $ | 464 |  |  | $ | 107 |  |  | $ | 571 |

Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under the 2013 restructuring are expected to be made through fiscal year 2017. The short-term portion of the restructuring reserve of $0.4 million is included in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $0.2 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2014.
2012 Restructuring
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved, committed to and initiated certain operational restructuring initiatives to reduce annual costs, including the simplification of our organizational structure and the consolidation of facilities. In addition, as part of the strategic plan announced during fiscal year 2012, we have divested the product lines not considered core to our business. Our restructuring actions include both our cost reduction efforts and qualifying costs associated with our divestitures.
As part of the 2012 restructuring, for the three months ended February 28, 2014, we incurred minimal expenses. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended February 28, 2014. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2012 restructuring.

Balance, February 28, 2014 | $ | 499 |  |  | $ | 73 |  |  | $ | 572 |

Cash disbursements under the 2012 restructuring are expected to be made through fiscal year 2016. The short-term portion of the restructuring reserve of $0.5 million is included in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $0.1 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2014.
Note 13: Income Taxes
Our income tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and 2013 reflects our estimates of the effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period they occur. The estimates are reevaluated each quarter based on our estimated tax expense for the full fiscal year.
The research and development credit provisions in the tax code expired as of December 31, 2013 and have not been extended at this time. There is no assurance that the credit provisions will be extended during 2014.
Our Federal income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2011, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods. Our state income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2009, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods.
Tax authorities for certain non-U.S. jurisdictions are also examining returns affecting unrecognized tax benefits, none of which are material to our condensed consolidated balance sheets, cash flows or statements of income. With some exceptions, we are generally no longer subject to tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2008.
Note 14: Earnings Per Share
We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and deferred stock units, using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an interim basis (in thousands, except per share data):

| Three Months Ended
| February 28, 2014 |  | February 28, 2013
Income from continuing operations | $ | 11,100 |  |  | $ | 9,813 |
Weighted average shares outstanding | 51,494 |  |  | 57,901 |
Dilutive impact from common stock equivalents | 671 |  |  | 851 |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 52,165 |  |  | 58,752 |
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations | $ | 0.22 |  |  | $ | 0.17 |
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations | $ | 0.21 |  |  | $ | 0.17 |

We excluded stock awards representing approximately 298,000 shares and 1,393,000 shares of common stock from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the three months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because these awards were anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. This Form 10-Q, and other information provided by us or statements made by our directors, officers or employees from time to time, may contain “forward-looking” statements and information, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual future results may differ materially. Statements indicating that we “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “are planning” or “plan to” are forward-looking, as are other statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other events that have not yet occurred. There are various factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the following: the receipt and shipment of new orders; the timely release and market acceptance of new products and/or enhancements to our existing products; the growth rates of certain market segments; the positioning of our products in those market segments; the customer demand and acceptance of any new product initiative; variations in the demand for professional services and technical support; pricing pressures and the competitive environment in the software industry; the continued uncertainty in the U.S. and international economies, which could result in fewer sales of our products and may otherwise harm our business; business and consumer use of the Internet; our ability to complete and integrate acquisitions; our ability to realize the expected benefits and anticipated synergies from acquired businesses; our ability to penetrate international markets and manage our international operations; our ability to execute on the strategic and operational initiatives we are currently undertaking, including any resulting disruption to our business, employees, customers and the manner in which we finance our operations; our ability to absorb allocated costs, primarily general and administrative, into our operations subsequent to the divestitures occurring; and those factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013. Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized. We also cannot assure you that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that we make.
Use of Constant Currency
Revenue from our international operations has historically represented more than half of our total revenue. As a result, our revenue results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, if the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries weaken, our consolidated results stated in U.S. dollars are negatively impacted.
As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period to period comparisons, we believe the presentation of revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis enhances the understanding of our revenue results and evaluation of our performance in comparison to prior periods. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Revised Prior Period Amounts
Our financial results for prior periods have been revised, in accordance with GAAP, to reflect certain changes to the business. Prior period amounts have been revised for the impact of discontinued operations due to the sale of our Apama product line. Refer to Note 6 of Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for an additional description of this item.
Overview
We are a global software company that simplifies the development, deployment and management of business applications on-premise or in the cloud, on any platform or device, to any data source, with enhanced performance, minimal IT complexity and low total cost of ownership. In 2013, we introduced the Progress Pacific platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that is the foundation of a strategic plan (the "Plan") we announced in April 2012. In April 2012, we announced our intention to become a leading provider of next-generation application development and deployment capabilities in the cloud for the PaaS market by investing in our OpenEdge, DataDirect, and Corticon product lines and integrating components of those products into a single, cohesive offering.
In fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into definitive purchase and sale agreements to divest the product lines which we did not consider core to our business. All divestitures were completed by the end of the first

quarter of fiscal year 2013. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $130.0 million. As a result of the divestitures of all the product lines not considered core to our business, we ceased reporting the results of those operations as a separate reportable segment. Beginning in fiscal year 2013, we now operate as one reportable segment.
In June 2013, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to divest our Apama product line to Software AG. The target market, deployment and sales model for the Apama product line differed significantly from those of our core strategy and the divestiture allowed us to focus entirely on providing leading cloud and mobile application development and integration solutions. The sale closed in July 2013 for a purchase price of $44.3 million. Our operating performance was adversely impacted by temporarily higher expense levels and restructuring costs as we transitioned away from the product lines we divested.
In furtherance of the Plan, we began to unify the product capabilities of our core product lines with the goal of refining and enhancing our next generation, feature-rich application development and deployment solution targeting the new market category of PaaS. To that end, during fiscal year 2013, we added new functionalities to our existing products. We also completed the acquisition of Rollbase, Inc., a provider of application development software technology that allows the rapid design, development and deployment of on-demand business applications. Lastly, in July 2013, we announced the release of Progress Pacific, which provides users with the freedom to choose the development environment tools, data sources, deployment environments and devices that best fit business and user needs. It is comprised of Rollbase and DataDirect Cloud, together with assets from our OpenEdge, DataDirect and Corticon products.
As a result of our renewed focus on our core products, the enhancements to our existing products and improvement in our cost structure, we experienced improved financial performance during fiscal year 2013. However, we are still in the early stages of our transition to becoming a leading vendor in the cloud-based PaaS market. As a result, we anticipate continued reinvestment in our products will be necessary and sustainable increases in revenue may not be foreseeable in the near term. Overall, our investments to improve our product lines require time to impact performance.
In addition, our new business focus and new strategy has required us to restructure our organization and the way we go to market, how we implement product roadmaps and how we operate and report our financial results, all of which caused additional disruption and could cause further disruption in the future as we implement our new go to market plans. Our cloud strategy will require continued investment in product development and cloud operations as well as a change in the way we price and deliver our products.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we experienced a significant decrease in license revenue, primarily due to lower revenues related to our DataDirect and Corticon products in the North America and EMEA regions. We are in the process of making changes to our go to market sales coverage for DataDirect and Corticon and believe these changes will result in increasing our pipeline opportunities as well as our conversion to revenue. These changes may take time to impact performance.
As part of the Plan, in April 2012 our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase $350.0 million of our common stock through fiscal year 2013, and in October 2012, under the authorization, we announced the adoption of a Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our common stock through June 30, 2013, or earlier. We completed the plan in May 2013, having repurchased 11.7 million shares for $250.0 million. In July 2013, our Board of Directors increased the authorization to $360.0 million, and we launched a new Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock through December 31, 2013, or earlier. We completed this plan in October 2013, having repurchased 4.0 million shares for $100.0 million. Through November 30, 2013, we repurchased a total of 16.1 million shares for $357.9 million under the authorization.
In January 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a new $100.0 million share repurchase program. Under this authorization, we have repurchased 0.4 million shares for $9.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from international operations, which are primarily conducted in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have significantly impacted our results of operations and may impact our future results of operations.
We believe that existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under our revolving credit line will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.

Revenue

| Three Months Ended |  | Percentage Change
(In thousands) | February 28, 2014 |  | February 28, 2013 |  | As Reported |  | Constant Currency
Revenue | $ | 74,538 |  |  | $ | 83,733 |  |  | (11 | )% |  | (10 | )%

Total revenue decreased $9.2 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year. Revenue would have decreased by 10% if exchange rates had been constant in fiscal year 2014 as compared to exchange rates in fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in license revenue as further described below.
Changes in prices from fiscal year 2013 to 2014 did not have a significant impact on our revenue. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not significantly impact our reported revenues on a consolidated basis.

As a percentage of total revenue | 30 | % |  | 36 | % |  |  |  |

License revenue decreased $7.6 million, or 26%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease in license revenue was primarily in the North America and EMEA regions, mainly as a result of lower revenues related to our DataDirect and Corticon products, and, to a lesser extent, sales of OpenEdge to direct end users.
Maintenance and Services Revenue

| Three Months Ended |  | Percentage Change
(In thousands) | February 28, 2014 |  | February 28, 2013 |  | As Reported |  | Constant Currency

As a percentage of total revenue | 70 | % |  | 64 | % |  |  |  |

Maintenance and services revenue decreased $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year. Maintenance revenue decreased 2% and professional services revenue decreased 12% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The decrease in maintenance revenue is due to the impact of moving to a distributor model in certain markets in the Latin America region, as well as the loss of revenue from non-renewing customers more than offsetting the growth in maintenance revenue associated with new license sales, primarily in our EMEA region. Professional services revenue decreased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 due to the timing of professional service engagements.

Total revenue generated in North America decreased $4.7 million, and total revenue generated outside North America decreased $4.5 million, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease in North America was primarily related to a decrease in license revenue in the region, while the decrease in EMEA was due to lower license and maintenance revenue and the decrease in Latin America was primarily due to a decrease in maintenance revenue. Total revenue generated in markets outside North America represented 53% of total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and 2013. If exchange rates had remained constant in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the exchange

As a percentage of software license revenue | 9 | % |  | 7 | % |  |
As a percentage of total revenue | 3 | % |  | 3 | % |  |

Cost of software licenses consists primarily of costs of royalties, electronic software distribution, duplication and packaging. Cost of software licenses decreased $0.1 million, or 4%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year, and increased as a percentage of software license revenue from 7% to 9%. Cost of software licenses as a percentage of software license revenue varies from period to period depending upon the relative product mix.
Cost of Maintenance and Services

Cost of maintenance and services | $ | 5,345 |  |  | $ | 7,650 |  |  | (30 | )%
As a percentage of maintenance and services revenue | 10 | % |  | 14 | % |  |
As a percentage of total revenue | 7 | % |  | 9 | % |  |

Cost of maintenance and services consists primarily of costs of providing customer support, consulting and education. Cost of maintenance and services decreased $2.3 million, or 30%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year, and decreased as a percentage of maintenance and services revenue from 14% to 10%. The decrease in cost of maintenance and services is primarily due to lower compensation-related costs as a result of the significant decrease in headcount in this area, in addition to the decrease as a result of lower maintenance and services revenue compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Amortization of Acquired Intangibles

| Three Months Ended
(In thousands) | February 28, 2014 |  | February 28, 2013 |  | Percentage Change

As a percentage of total revenue | 1 | % |  | — | % |  |

Amortization of acquired intangibles included in costs of revenue primarily represents the amortization of the value assigned to technology-related intangible assets obtained in business combinations. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased $0.4 million, or 281%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was due to amortization of intangible assets acquired with the Rollbase acquisition, which was completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, partially offset by decreases due to the completion of amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in prior years.

Gross profit | $ | 66,657 |  |  | $ | 73,854 |  |  | (10 | )%
As a percentage of total revenue | 89 | % |  | 88 | % |  |

Our gross profit decreased $7.2 million, or 10%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year, and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 88% to 89%. The dollar decrease is primarily related to the decrease in license revenue while the cost of licenses remained relatively flat period over period.
Sales and Marketing

(In thousands) | February 28, 2014 |  | February 28, 2013 |  | Percentage Change
Sales and marketing | $ | 24,509 |  |  | $ | 28,642 |  |  | (14 | )%
As a percentage of total revenue | 33 | % |  | 34 | % |  |

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $4.1 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 34% to 33%. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation-related and travel costs in the sales function as a result of headcount reduction actions occurring subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, as well as lower commissions expense due to the lower level of license revenue as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Marketing expenses were relatively consistent between the two periods.
Product Development

Total product development expense | $ | 15,113 |  |  | $ | 13,622 |  |  | 11 | %
As a percentage of total revenue | 20 | % |  | 16 | % |  |

Product development expenses increased $1.5 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year, and increased as a percentage of revenue from 16% to 20%. The increase was primarily due to higher costs related to our new product development strategy, including higher expenses related to building our Progress Pacific platform. The increase was partially offset by the deferral of capitalized product development costs related to certain development of our Progress Pacific platform beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013.
General and Administrative

As a percentage of total revenue | — | % |  | — | % |  |

Amortization of acquired intangibles included in operating expenses primarily represents the amortization of value assigned to intangible assets obtained in business combinations other than assets identified as purchased technology. Amortization of acquired intangibles decreased 4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease is due to the completion of amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in prior years, partially offset by the amortization of intangible assets associated with the Rollbase acquisition, which was completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Other income (expense) increased $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to the decrease in foreign currency losses. The change in foreign currency losses is a result of movements in exchange rates and the impact in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 on our intercompany receivables and payables denominated in currencies other than local currencies.
Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 21% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to 36% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to the recognition of $2.1 million of tax benefits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 associated with the expected distribution from a foreign subsidiary that will occur in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

(In thousands) | February 28, 2014 |  | November 30, 2013
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 219,356 |  |  | $ | 198,818 |
Short-term investments | 28,693 |  |  | 32,622 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments | $ | 248,049 |  |  | $ | 231,440 |

The increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $16.6 million from the end of fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to cash inflows from operations of $25.4 million, partially offset by repurchases of our common stock of $9.8 million. Except as described below, there are no limitations on our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
As of February 28, 2014, $102.7 million of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of this amount relates to the net undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, which are considered to be permanently reinvested; as such, they are not available to fund our domestic operations. If we were to repatriate the earnings, they would be subject to taxation in the U.S., but would be offset by foreign tax credits. We do not believe this has a material impact on our liquidity.
Share Repurchase Program
In April 2012, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase $350.0 million of our common stock through fiscal year 2013, and in October 2012, under the authorization, we announced the adoption of a Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our common stock through June 30, 2013, or earlier. We completed the plan in May 2013, having repurchased 11.7 million shares for $250.0 million. In July 2013, our Board of Directors increased the authorization to $360.0 million, and we launched a new Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock through December 31, 2013, or earlier. We completed this plan in October 2013, having repurchased 4.0 million shares for $100.0 million. Through November 30, 2013, we repurchased a total of 16.1 million shares for $357.9 million under the authorization.
In January 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a new $100.0 million share repurchase program. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, and the Board of Directors may choose to suspend, expand or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we repurchased 0.4 million shares of our common stock for $9.8 million.
Divestiture of Product Lines
During fiscal years 2012 and 2013, we completed divestitures of the eleven product lines which were not considered core product lines of our business: Actional, Apama, Artix, DataXtend, FuseSource, ObjectStore, Orbacus, Orbix, Savvion, Shadow and Sonic. The FuseSource and Shadow product lines were divested in fiscal year 2012. The remaining product lines, excluding Apama, were divested in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The aggregate purchase price of the divestitures completed in fiscal year 2012 and by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was approximately $130.0 million. The Apama product line was divested in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 for a purchase price of $44.3 million.
The cash flows of our continuing and discontinued operations have not been segregated in our statements of cash flows. The divestitures of these product lines will reduce our cash flows in future periods, including our operating cash flows, due to the loss of revenue offset by the elimination of direct expenses associated with the divested product lines and other cost savings actions.
Restructuring Activities
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our operations as a result of the sale of the Apama product line and the divestitures completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. We reduced our global workforce primarily within the administrative and sales organizations. This workforce reduction was conducted across all geographies and also resulted in the closing of certain facilities.

Table of Contents
The total costs of the restructuring primarily relate to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, outplacement services and transition divestiture incentives, but excluding stock-based compensation. Facilities costs include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. Other costs include costs to terminate automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction, asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as part of cost reduction strategies, costs for unused software licenses as part of the workforce reduction and other costs directly associated with the restructuring actions taken.
As part of the 2013 restructuring, for the three months ended February 28, 2014, we incurred expenses totaling $0.2 million, of which the majority represents excess facilities and other costs. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2013 restructuring.
As of February 28, 2014, $0.6 million of the cumulative expenses recognized under the 2013 restructuring remains unpaid. We expect to pay the majority of the restructuring liability in the next twelve months, however, excess facilities costs will continue through fiscal year 2017.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved, committed to and initiated certain operational restructuring initiatives to reduce annual costs, including the simplification of our organizational structure and the consolidation of facilities.
As part of the 2012 restructuring, we incurred minimal expenses in the first three months of fiscal year 2014. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2012 restructuring.
As of February 28, 2014, $0.6 million of the cumulative expenses recognized under the 2012 restructuring remains unpaid. We expect to pay the majority of the restructuring liability in the next twelve months, however, excess facilities costs will continue through fiscal year 2016.
Revolving Credit Facility
On August 15, 2011, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") for an unsecured credit facility with J.P. Morgan and other lenders that matures on August 15, 2016, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. The credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150.0 million, with a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million and swing line loans up to $20.0 million. The credit facility also permits us to increase the revolving line of credit by up to an additional $75.0 million subject to receiving further commitments from lenders and certain other conditions. We intend to utilize the line of credit for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, stock repurchases and working capital.
Revolving loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on our choice of either (i) the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, both depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate (ii) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one month interest period plus a margin equal to 1.00%. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required, at a per annum rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. The loan origination fee and issuance costs incurred upon consummation of the Credit Agreement are being amortized through interest expense using the effective interest rate method, over the five-year term of the facility. Other customary fees and letter of credit fees may be charged and will be expensed as they are incurred.
Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (or at each three month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) with respect to LIBOR rate loans. We may prepay, terminate or reduce the loan commitments in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of LIBOR rate loans.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a requirement to maintain a balance of at least $100.0 million in cash and cash equivalents while making restricted equity-related payments (e.g. cash dividend distributions or share repurchases of our common stock). We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.00 to 1.00. As of February 28, 2014, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line and $0.8 million of letters of credit outstanding. We are in compliance with our covenants by a significant margin.

Auction Rate Securities
In addition to the $248.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, we had investments with a fair value of $25.1 million related to auction rate securities (ARS). These ARS are floating rate securities with longer-term maturities that were marketed by financial institutions with auction reset dates at primarily 28 or 35 day intervals to provide short-term liquidity. The remaining contractual maturities of these securities range from 10 to 29 years. The underlying collateral of the ARS consist of municipal bonds, which are insured by monoline insurance companies, and student loans, which are supported by the federal government as part of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) and by the monoline insurance companies.
Beginning in February 2008, auctions for these securities began to fail, and the interest rates for these ARS reset to the maximum rate per the applicable investment offering document. As of February 28, 2014, our ARS investments totaled $28.8 million at par value. These ARS are classified as available-for-sale securities.
For each of our ARS for which the issuer is not in default, we evaluated the risks related to the structure, collateral and liquidity of the investment, and forecasted the probability of issuer default, auction failure and a successful auction at par or a redemption at par for each future auction period. The weighted average cash flow for each period was then discounted back to present value for each security. Based on these methodologies, we determined that the fair value of our ARS investments is $25.1 million at February 28, 2014. The temporary impairment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss to reduce the value of our available-for-sale ARS investments was $3.6 million. We will not be able to access the funds associated with our ARS investments until future auctions for these ARS are successful, we sell the securities in a secondary market, or they are redeemed by the issuer. As such, these remaining investments currently lack short-term liquidity and are therefore classified as long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2014.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the exit bankruptcy plan for an issuer of one of our ARS, which was in default and on whose behalf the underlying bond insurer was making interest payments, was approved by a federal bankruptcy judge in federal court. The exit bankruptcy plan included a settlement provision with the holders of the ARS, which were given the option to receive 80% of the par value of their holdings, but renounce their claim with the bond issuer, or receive 65% of the par value of their holdings and retain their insurance rights. We accepted the 80% settlement offer and as a result we adjusted the fair value of this ARS to the amount of the settlement as of November 30, 2013. The previously recorded unrealized loss associated with this ARS has been recorded as a realized loss in fiscal year 2013 due to the settlement, which we received in December 2013. As this investment no longer lacked short-term liquidity, it was classified as a short-term investment on our consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2013. We received the settlement in December 2013 and the related ARS is no longer held and, accordingly, is not included in our ARS investments as of February 28, 2014.
Based on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $248.0 million, expected operating cash flows and the availability of funds under our revolving credit facility, we do not anticipate the lack of liquidity associated with our ARS to adversely affect our ability to conduct business and believe we have the ability to hold the affected securities throughout the currently estimated recovery period. Therefore, the impairment on these securities is considered only temporary in nature. If the credit rating of either the security issuer or the third-party insurer underlying the investments deteriorates significantly, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of the ARS through an impairment charge.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash flows from (used in) operating activities | $ | 25,424 |  |  | $ | (25,059 | )

The increase in cash generated from operations in the first three months of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the first three months of fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to $41.7 million in payments made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 for income taxes related to the divestitures of the product lines discussed in Note 6, as well as an additional $4.2 million in payments related to the restructuring activities discussed in Note 12 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the

first quarter of fiscal year 2014. Total net tax payments made in the first three months of fiscal year 2014 were $2.6 million, compared to $47.3 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2013.
Our gross accounts receivable as of February 28, 2014 decreased by $8.2 million from the end of fiscal year 2013, which is primarily due to the decrease in license revenue during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the prior quarter. Days sales outstanding (DSO) in accounts receivable was 71 days, up from 66 days at the end of fiscal year 2013. The increase in DSO was due to the timing of billings during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the prior quarter. We target a DSO range of 60 to 75 days.

Net cash flows from investing activities | $ | 374 |  |  | $ | 83,315 |

Net cash inflows and outflows of our net investment activity are generally a result of the timing of our purchases and maturities of securities which are classified as cash equivalents or short-term securities. In addition, we purchased $5.7 million of property and equipment in the first three months of fiscal year 2014, including a $4.5 million investment in licensed software for use in our Pacific mobility platform, as compared to $0.9 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2013. We also received $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 from an escrow release related to the divestitures discussed in Note 6, as compared to $73.4 million of proceeds related to the sale of divested product lines in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, which was the primary reason for the decrease in net cash inflows from investing activities period over period.

We received $3.9 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2014 from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of shares under our employee stock purchase plan as compared to $29.2 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2013. In addition, in the first three months of fiscal year 2014, we repurchased $9.8 million of our common stock under our share repurchase plan compared to $109.3 million in the same period of the prior year.
Indemnification Obligations
We include standard intellectual property indemnification provisions in our licensing agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to our product license agreements, we will indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with certain patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by third parties with respect to our products. Other agreements with our customers provide indemnification for claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been insignificant. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these indemnification provisions is immaterial.

Liquidity Outlook
We believe that existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements through at least the next twelve months. We do not contemplate a need for any foreign repatriation of the earnings which we have deemed permanently reinvested. Our foreseeable cash needs include our planned capital expenditures and share repurchases, lease commitments, restructuring obligations and other long-term obligations.
Revenue Backlog

Deferred revenue, primarily related to unexpired maintenance and support contracts (1) | $ | 107,227 |  |  | $ | 118,734 |

Open software license orders received but not shipped (2) | — |  |  | 4,015 |
Total revenue backlog | $ | 117,933 |  |  | $ | 141,682 |

(1) | Deferred revenue as of February 28, 2013 included the deferred revenue of the Apama product line, which we sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, and $1.9 million of contractual maintenance which had not been invoiced or included on our balance sheet. The contractual maintenance which has not been invoiced relates to a customer who changed its invoicing schedule.

(2) | Our backlog of orders not included on the balance sheet is not subject to our normal accounting controls for information that is either reported in or derived from our basic financial statements.

We typically fulfill most of our software license orders within 30 days of acceptance of a purchase order. Assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize software license revenue upon shipment of the product, or if delivered electronically, when the customer has the right to access the software. Because there are many elements governing when revenue is recognized, including when orders are shipped, credit approval obtained, completion of internal control processes over revenue recognition and other factors, management has some control in determining the period in which certain revenue is recognized. We had in the past and may have in the future open software license orders which have not shipped or have otherwise not met all the required criteria for revenue recognition. Beginning in the second quarter of 2013, we changed our processes such that the amount of open software license orders received but not shipped at the end of the quarter was reduced to $0 at the end of the second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. We expect this will continue in future periods and we generally do not believe that the amount, if any, of such software license orders at the end of a particular reporting period is a reliable indicator of future performance. In addition, there is no industry standard for the definition of backlog and there may be an element of estimation in determining the amount. As such, direct comparisons with other companies may be difficult or potentially misleading.
Legal and Other Regulatory Matters
See discussion regarding legal and other regulatory matters in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our only significant off-balance sheet commitments relate to operating lease obligations. Future annual minimum rental lease payments are detailed in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013. We have no “off-balance sheet arrangements” within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our “internal control over financial reporting” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) to determine whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) | In April 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $350.0 million of our common stock through fiscal year 2013, and in October 2012, under the authorization, we announced the adoption of a Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our common stock through June 30, 2013, or earlier. We completed the plan in May 2013, having repurchased 11.7 million shares for $250.0 million. In July 2013, our Board of Directors increased the authorization to $360.0 million, and we launched a new Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock through December 31, 2013, or earlier. We completed this plan in October 2013, having repurchased 4.0 million shares for $100.0 million. Through November 30, 2013, we have repurchased a total of 16.1 million shares for $357.9 million under the $360.0 million authorization.

(2) | In January 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a new $100.0 million share repurchase program. Under this authorization, we have repurchased 0.4 million shares for $9.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.
