NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Pegasystems Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “the Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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 (“U.S.”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, 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 year 2013.

Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and include costs to affect an impending or completed acquisition and direct and incremental costs associated with an acquisition. During the third quarter of 2013, acquisition-related costs of $0.5 million were primarily legal and advisory fees and due diligence costs associated with the Company’s acquisition of Antenna Software, Inc. (“Antenna”). See Note 12 “Subsequent Event”.

2.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company considers debt securities with maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Interest is recorded when earned. All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income taxes.

As of September 30, 2013, remaining maturities of marketable debt securities ranged from October 2013 to February 2016, with a weighted-average remaining maturity of approximately 14 months.

3.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency denominated accounts receivable, intercompany payables and cash primarily held by the U.S. operating company. The Company has been primarily exposed to the fluctuation in the British pound and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. More recently, the Company has experienced increased levels of exposure to the Australian dollar and Indian rupee, for which it began to use forward contracts in the third quarter of 2013.

The forward contracts utilized by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments and as a result, the Company records the fair value of these contracts at the end of each reporting period in its consolidated balance sheet as other current assets for unrealized gains and accrued expenses for unrealized losses, with any fluctuations in the value of these contracts recognized in other expense, net, in its consolidated statement of operations. These forward contracts have 90 day terms or less.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any forward contracts outstanding.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company entered into forward contracts with notional values as follows:

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the total change in the fair value of the Company’s forward contracts recorded in other expense, net, was as follows:

4.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for classifying the fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the fair value measurements based on the inputs used in measuring fair value, was established as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) significant unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, the Company records its marketable securities at fair value.

The Company’s investments are classified within Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s investments classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using quoted market prices. The Company’s investments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on matrix pricing compiled by third party pricing vendors, using observable market inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, and credit risk.

The fair value hierarchy of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities at fair value is as follows:

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as property and equipment, and intangible assets, are recognized at fair value when they are impaired. During the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company did not recognize any impairments on its assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

5.  TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET OF ALLOWANCE

Unbilled trade accounts receivable relate to services earned under time and material arrangements, and maintenance and license arrangements that had not been invoiced as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

6.   GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the first nine months of 2013.

Intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 and 2012, amortization of intangibles was reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

9.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

During the first nine months of 2013, the Company issued approximately 344,000 shares to its employees and 14,000 shares to its non-employee directors under the Company’s share-based compensation plans.

During the first nine months of 2013, the Company granted approximately 114,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a total fair value of approximately $3.3 million. Approximately 59,000 RSUs were issued in connection with the election by employees to receive 50% of their 2013 target incentive compensation under the Company’s Corporate Incentive Compensation Plan (the “CICP”) in the form of RSUs instead of cash. Stock-based compensation of approximately $1.7 million associated with this RSU grant will be recognized over a one-year period beginning on the grant date.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $12.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all unvested RSUs and unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

10.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding options, RSUs, and warrants, using the treasury stock method and the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the applicable period. Certain shares related to some of the Company’s outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive in the periods presented, but could be dilutive in the future.

11.   GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND MAJOR CLIENTS

The Company develops and licenses its rules-based software solutions and provides professional and cloud services, maintenance, and training related to its software. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products and services – software that provides business process solutions in the enterprise applications market. To assess performance, the Company’s chief operating decision maker primarily reviews financial information on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the Company has determined it operates in one segment — Business Process Solutions.

The Company’s international revenue is from sales to clients based outside of the U.S. The Company derived its revenue from the following geographic areas:

Clients accounting for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue or outstanding trade receivables, net, were as follows:

12.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 9, 2013, the Company acquired Antenna, a leading provider of mobile application development platforms. The Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Antenna in a merger for $26.3 million in cash. The Company is in the process of preparing an allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but currently expects that a substantial portion of the Antenna purchase price will ultimately be allocated to intangible assets, and that such assets are likely to include acquired core technology, customer related assets and goodwill. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses associated with the transaction of $0.5 million and expects to incur an additional estimated $2.2 million of such expenses that are primarily professional fees to affect the acquisition.

The Company believes the acquisition will offer its collective clients faster time-to-market and increased flexibility in end-to-end mobile application development, powerful device management and cloud-based mobile Backend-as-a-Service.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our future financial performance and business plans, the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources, the continued payment of quarterly dividends by the Company, and the timing of recognizing revenue under existing term license agreements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate and management’s beliefs and assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “target,” “project,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ include, among others, variation in demand for our products and services and the difficulty in predicting the completion of product acceptance and other factors affecting the timing of license revenue recognition, the ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets, the ongoing consolidation in the financial services and healthcare markets, reliance on third party relationships, the potential loss of vendor specific objective evidence for our professional services, and management of the Company’s growth. These risks are described more completely in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Business overview

We develop, market, license, and support software, which allows organizations to build, deploy, and change enterprise applications easily and quickly. Our unified software platform enables our clients to build enterprise applications in a fraction of the time it would take with competitive disjointed architectures, by directly capturing business objectives, automating programming, and automating work. We also provide consulting services, cloud service offerings, maintenance, and training related to our software.

We focus our sales efforts on target accounts, which are large companies or divisions within companies and typically leaders in their industry. Our strategy is to sell a series of licenses that are focused on a specific purpose or area of operations, rather than to sell a large enterprise license.

Our license revenue is primarily derived from sales of our PegaRULES Process Commander ^® (“PRPC”) software and related solution frameworks. PRPC is a comprehensive platform for building and managing Business Process Management (“BPM”) applications that unifies business rules and business processes. Our solution frameworks, built on the capabilities of PRPC, are purpose or industry-specific collections of best practice functionality, which allow organizations to quickly implement new client-facing practices and processes, bring new offerings to market, and provide customized or specialized processing. Our products are simpler, easier to use and often result in shorter implementation periods than competitive enterprise software products. PRPC and related solution frameworks can be used by a broad range of clients across markets including financial services, insurance, healthcare, communications, life sciences, energy and government.

Our solution frameworks products include customer relationship management (“CRM”) software, which enables unified predictive decisioning and analytics and optimizes the overall customer experience. Our decision management products and capabilities are designed to manage processes so that all actions optimize the outcome based on business objectives. We continue to invest in the development of new products and intend to remain a leader in BPM, CRM, and decision management.

We also offer Pega Cloud, a service offering that allows our clients to immediately build, test, and deploy their Pega applications in a secure cloud environment while minimizing their infrastructure and hardware costs. Revenue from our Pega Cloud offering is included in consulting services revenue.

We offer training for our staff, clients, and partners at our regional training facilities, at third party facilities, and at client sites. We also offer training online through Pega Academy, which provides an alternative way to learn our software in a virtual environment quickly and easily. We believe that this online training will continue to expand the number of trained experts at a faster pace.
