Overview
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition and
results of operations. This section is provided as a supplement to, and should
be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes
to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The
results of operations for the periods presented in this report are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any
future period, due in part to the seasonality of our business. Historically, our
revenue for the fourth quarter of any year is typically higher than our revenue
for the first quarter of the subsequent year. During the first quarter of 2020,
this historical trend was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Citrix is an enterprise software company focused on helping customers improve
the productivity and user experience of their most valuable assets, their
employees. We do this by creating a digital workspace that provides unified,
secure, and reliable access to all applications and content employees need to be
productive - anytime, anywhere, on any device. Our Networking solutions, which
can be consumed via hardware or software, complement our Workspace solutions by
delivering applications and data employees need across any network with
security, reliability and speed.
We market and license our solutions through multiple channels worldwide,
including selling through resellers and direct over the Web. Our partner
community comprises thousands of value-added resellers, or VARs, known as Citrix
Solution Advisors, value-added distributors, or VADs, systems integrators, or
SIs, independent software vendors, or ISVs, original equipment manufacturers, or
OEMs, and Citrix Service Providers, or CSPs.
We are a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 17, 1989.
Executive Summary
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our subscription model transition
regained momentum, with strong demand for our Workspace and Networking
solutions. We believe that our second quarter performance reflects the
confidence of our customers in Citrix's vision and the critical role Citrix's
solutions have in helping customers drive continued sustainable growth over the
long-term aided by the secular shifts towards remote work, security and employee
experience.
As we continue to progress through our subscription model transition, we plan to
discontinue offering new perpetual licenses for Citrix Workspace beginning on
October 1, 2020. While there will be exceptions made for certain customers in
specific industries or geographies, following this date the offering will no
longer be generally available for new or existing
                                       35

customers. After this time, customers will have the option of acquiring new
Citrix Workspace seats in the form of on-premises subscription or SaaS
offerings.
Longer term, our subscription transition is expected to result in more
sustainable, recurring revenue growth over time as less revenue comes from
one-time product and licensing streams and more revenue comes from predictable,
recurring streams that will be recognized in future periods. We believe that
this dynamic is best captured in our Subscription and SaaS Annualized Recurring
Revenue, or ARR. This operating metric represents the contracted recurring value
of all termed subscriptions normalized to a one-year period. It is calculated at
the end of a reporting period by taking each contract's recurring total contract
value and dividing by the length of the contract. ARR includes only active
contractually committed, fixed subscription fees. Our definition of ARR includes
contracts expected to recur and therefore excludes contracts with durations of
12 months or less where licenses were issued to address extraordinary business
continuity events for our customers. All contracts are annualized, including 30
day offerings where we take monthly recurring revenue multiplied by 12 to
annualize. ARR may be influenced by seasonality within the year. ARR should be
viewed independently of U.S. GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue
and is not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a
forecast of future revenue. As we continue through this business model
transition, we believe ARR is a key indicator of the overall health and
trajectory of our business. Management uses ARR to monitor the growth of our
subscription business.
On January 21, 2020, we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement that provided
us with facilities to borrow term loans on an unsecured basis in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $1.00 billion, consisting of (1) a $500.0 million
364-day term loan facility (the "364-day Term Loan"), and (2) a $500.0 million
3-year term loan facility (the "3-year Term Loan"), in each case in a single
borrowing, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Term
Loan Credit Agreement.
On January 21, 2020, our Board of Directors approved an increase of an
additional $1.00 billion in authorized repurchase authority to our existing
share repurchase program.
On January 30, 2020, we borrowed $1.00 billion under the term loans and used the
proceeds from our Term Loan Credit Agreement to enter into accelerated share
repurchase transactions ("ASR") with each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association (each, a "Dealer") for an aggregate of
$1.00 billion. Under the ASR transactions, we received an initial share delivery
of 6.5 million shares of our common stock, with the remainder, if any, delivered
upon completion of the ASR transactions. The price per share under the ASR is
subject to adjustment and is expected to equal the average of the daily
volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the term of the
applicable ASR agreement, less a discount. The ASR is expected to be completed
by the end of the third quarter of 2020. The ASR was entered into pursuant to
our existing share repurchase program.
On February 25, 2020, we issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due
March 1, 2030 (the "2030 Notes"). The net proceeds from this offering were
$738.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering
expenses payable by us. Net proceeds from this offering were primarily used to
repay amounts outstanding under our unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement. During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used the net proceeds from the 2030 Notes
and cash to repay $750.0 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of
June 30, 2020, $250.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Credit
Agreement.
On July 23, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a $0.35 per
share dividend payable September 25, 2020 to all shareholders of record as of
the close of business on September 11, 2020.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19
to be a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world.
The impact from the rapidly changing market and economic conditions due to the
COVID-19 outbreak remains uncertain. It has disrupted the business of our
customers and partners, will impact our business and consolidated results of
operations and could impact our financial condition in the future. While we have
not incurred significant disruptions thus far from the COVID-19 outbreak, we are
unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have due to
numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of
the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact
to the business of our customers and partners and other factors identified in
Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We also
believe that our financial resources will allow us to manage the anticipated
impact of COVID-19 on our business operations for the foreseeable future, which
could include reductions in revenue and delays in payments from customers and
partners. However, we are continuing to monitor the situation and are reviewing
our preparedness plans should we begin to experience material impacts.
                                       36
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impact of COVID-19 on our Second Quarter Results
To provide a flexible solution to help our customers manage through this period,
in the first quarter of 2020, we created a short-term on-premises term
subscription license at discounted prices. This limited-use license program was
intended to help our customers manage through the shock to the system created by
the pandemic. We phased out this short-term license program at the end of April
2020. The contribution from this limited-use license program was not material in
the second quarter of 2020.
Impact of COVID-19 on our Outlook and Liquidity
With respect to the latter part of 2020 and into 2021, the broader toll COVID-19
may take on the global economy and the slope of the economic recovery is
unknown. We believe that our solutions and our business model are resilient.
However, given the unknown magnitude, in terms of depth and duration, of this
crisis, we view the increased demand we experienced in the first half of the
year, as a potential offset against what could prove to be a more challenging
macroeconomic environment in the second half of the year. Longer term, we
believe this global health crisis will cause companies and their employees to
change the way they think about remote work. We expect business continuity and
risk mitigation to rise as areas of importance in boardroom discussions and on
IT priority lists. We believe a greater number of employees will expect to
continue to be able to work remotely, at least some of the time, even as social
distancing restrictions abate.
Cash from operations, accounts receivable and revenues could also be affected by
various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic and other risks detailed in Part II, Item 1A titled "Risk
Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, based on our current
revenue outlook, we believe that existing cash balances, together with funds
generated from operations and amounts available under our revolving credit
facility, will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable
cash requirements through at least the next twelve months. We have availed
ourselves of certain tax deferrals allowed pursuant to the CARES Act in the U.S.
and certain tax deferrals in Switzerland, and may continue to do so in the
future. We are evaluating the impact of global COVID-19-related laws and
proposed laws, and while there is an impact on the timing of cash flow, no
material impact to our financial results is expected as a result of legislation
enacted to date. In addition, while the pandemic has not materially impacted our
liquidity and capital resources to date, it has led to increased disruption and
volatility in capital markets and credit markets which could adversely affect
our liquidity and capital resources in the future.
Other Impacts of COVID-19
In March 2020, we directed our global workforce to work from home and severely
limited all international and domestic travel. We have extended our paid
time-off and sick leave benefits for employees directly impacted by COVID-19 or
caring for children or a member of their household impacted by COVID-19. We
provided $1,000 per employee below the Vice President level to cover expenses
related to transitioning to a work from home environment, helping support local
restaurants and small businesses or charities, or lessening any other potential
hardship. We also offer local employee assistance program resources if needed.
Certain of our offices have re-opened and we continue to monitor developments at
the local level and follow mandates as required by law. For offices that have
re-opened, we have implemented new protocols to ensure the safety of our
employees, including face coverings, temperature checks, social distancing and
capacity limits.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to hold our largest customer and
partner event, Synergy, as a series of virtual events, and we may deem it
advisable to similarly alter, postpone or cancel additional customer, employee
or industry events in the future.
We have also increased funding for corporate citizenship directed donations and
created a relief recovery fund for the COVID-19 outbreak, doubled our charitable
match for employee donations, continued to pay vendors no longer providing
on-site services, and set up virtual volunteering opportunities.
Summary of Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2019, a summary of our results included:
•Total net revenue increased 6.7% to $798.9 million;
•Subscription revenue increased 56.2% to $243.5 million;
•SaaS revenue increased 43.2% to $130.6 million;
•Product and license revenue decreased 7.6% to $129.9 million;
•Support and services revenue decreased 5.9% to $425.5 million;
•Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased 0.5% to 84.7%;
                                       37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•Operating income increased 22.7% to $143.7 million;
•Diluted net income per share increased 28.6% to $0.90;
•Unbilled revenue increased $382.6 million to $866.9 million;
•Subscription ARR increased $334.2 million to $948.6 million; and
•SaaS ARR increased $172.0 million to $590.0 million.
Our Subscription revenue increased primarily due to an increase in on-premise
license demand, mostly from our Workspace offerings and our Networking
offerings, primarily from pooled capacity. Also contributing to the increase is
continued customer adoption of our solutions delivered via the cloud. Our
Product and license revenue decreased primarily due to lower sales of our
perpetual Workspace solutions as customers continue to shift to our subscription
offerings. The decrease in Support and services revenue was primarily due to
decreased sales of maintenance services across our perpetual Workspace and
Networking offerings and professional services, as more of the revenue is
reported in the Subscription revenue line commensurate with our subscription
model transition. We currently expect total revenue to increase when comparing
the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019 and when comparing the
fiscal year 2020 to the fiscal year 2019 due to the acceleration of our
transition to a subscription-based model. The increase in operating income was
primarily due to an increase in gross margin partially offset by higher
operating expenses. The increase in diluted net income per share was primarily
due to an increase in operating income and a decrease in the number of weighted
average shares outstanding due to share repurchases. Both Subscription and SaaS
ARR increased due to the acceleration of subscription bookings.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base
these estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates
form the basis for our judgments concerning the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically
evaluate these estimates and judgments based on available information and
experience. Actual results could differ from our estimates under different
assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from our
estimates, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially
impacted.
For more information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates,
please refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" contained in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or the
Annual Report, and Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material
changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report.

Revenues


Net revenues include Subscription, Product and license and Support and services
revenues.
Subscription revenue relates to fees which are generally recognized ratably over
the contractual term. Our subscription revenue includes SaaS, which primarily
consists of subscriptions delivered via a cloud-hosted service whereby the
customer does not take possession of the software and hybrid subscription
offerings and the related support; and non-SaaS, which consists primarily of
on-premise licensing, hybrid subscription offerings, CSP services and the
related support. Our hybrid subscription offerings are allocated between SaaS
and non-SaaS, which are generally recognized at a point in time. In addition,
our CSP program provides subscription-based services in which the CSP partners
host software services to their end users. The fees from the CSP program are
recognized based on usage and as the CSP services are provided to their end
users.
Product and license revenue primarily represents fees related to the perpetual
licensing of the following major solutions:
•Workspace is primarily comprised of our Application Virtualization solutions,
which include Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, our unified endpoint management
solutions, which include Citrix Endpoint Management, Citrix Content
Collaboration, and Citrix Workspace; and
•Networking products, which primarily include Citrix ADC and Citrix SD-WAN.
We offer incentive programs to our VADs and VARs to stimulate demand for our
solutions. Product and license and Subscription revenues associated with these
programs are partially offset by these incentives to our VADs and VARs.
Support and services revenue consists of maintenance and support fees primarily
related to our perpetual offerings and include the following:
•Customer Success Services, which gives customers a choice of tiered support
offerings that combine the elements of product version upgrades, guidance,
enablement, support and proactive monitoring to help our customers and our
partners fully realize their business goals. Fees associated with this offering
are recognized ratably over the term of the contract; and
•Hardware maintenance fees for our perpetual Networking products, which include
technical support and hardware and software maintenance, are recognized ratably
over the contract term; and
•Fees from consulting services related to the implementation of our solutions,
which are recognized as the services are provided; and
•Fees from product training and certification, which are recognized as the
services are provided.

Subscription
Subscription revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in
on-premise license demand of $48.2 million, mostly from our Workspace offerings
of $29.7 million and our Networking offerings of $18.5 million, primarily from
pooled capacity. Also contributing to the increase is continued customer
adoption of our solutions delivered via the cloud of $39.4 million, primarily
from our Workspace offerings.
Subscription revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in on-premise
license demand of $137.7 million, mostly from our Workspace offerings of $90.7
million driven by business continuity sales in the first quarter of 2020 and our
Networking offerings of $47.0 million, primarily from pooled capacity. Also
contributing to the increase is continued customer adoption of our solutions
delivered via the cloud of $76.5 million, primarily from our Workspace
offerings.
                                       40
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We currently expect our Subscription revenue to increase when comparing the
third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019 as customers continue to
shift to our subscription offerings.
Product and license
Product and license revenue decreased when comparing the three months ended
June 30, 2020 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to lower
sales of our perpetual Workspace offerings, as customers continue to shift to
our subscription offerings.
Product and license revenue increased when comparing the six months ended
June 30, 2020 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to higher
sales of our perpetual Workspace offerings of $43.8 million, mostly from
business continuity sales in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the first
quarter of 2020, partially offset by lower sales of our perpetual Networking
products of $16.6 million.
We currently expect our Product and license revenue to decrease when comparing
the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019 as customers continue to
shift to our subscription offerings and away from our Networking hardware
products, as well as our announced plan to discontinue offering new perpetual
licenses for Citrix Workspace beginning on October 1, 2020.
Support and services
Support and services revenue decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to decreased
sales of maintenance services across our Workspace perpetual offerings of $11.1
million, Networking perpetual offerings of $8.2 million and professional
services of $7.4 million, as more of the revenue is reported in the Subscription
revenue line commensurate with our subscription model transition.
Support and services revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to decreased sales
of maintenance services across our Workspace perpetual offerings of $23.2
million, Networking perpetual offerings of $12.8 million and professional
services of $13.3 million, as more of the revenue is reported in the
Subscription revenue line commensurate with our subscription model transition.
We currently expect our Support and services revenue to decrease when comparing
the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019 as customers continue to
shift to our subscription offerings.
Deferred Revenue, Unbilled Revenue and Backlog
Deferred revenue is primarily comprised of Support and services revenue from
maintenance fees, which include software and hardware maintenance, technical
support related to our perpetual offerings and services revenue related to our
consulting contracts. Deferred revenue also includes Subscription revenue from
our Content Collaboration and cloud-based subscription offerings.
Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance
of revenue recognition and is recognized in our condensed consolidated balance
sheets and statements of income as the revenue recognition criteria are met.
Unbilled revenue primarily represents future billings under our subscription
agreements that have not been invoiced and, accordingly, are not recorded in
accounts receivable or deferred revenue within our condensed consolidated
financial statements. Deferred revenue and unbilled revenue are influenced by
several factors, including new business seasonality within the year, the
specific timing, size and duration of customer subscription agreements, annual
billing cycles of subscription agreements, and invoice timing. Fluctuations in
deferred and unbilled revenue may not be a reliable indicator of future
performance and the related revenue associated with these contractual
commitments.
The following table presents the amounts of deferred revenue and unbilled
revenue (in thousands):
                      June 30, 2020         December 31, 2019       2020 compared to 2019
Deferred revenue     $  1,787,630          $       1,795,791       $             (8,161)
Unbilled revenue          866,856                    704,829                    162,027


Deferred revenue decreased $8.2 million as of June 30, 2020 compared to
December 31, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in maintenance and support of
$88.1 million, mostly from Workspace perpetual software maintenance of $56.2
million and Networking perpetual hardware maintenance of $23.3 million,
partially offset by an increase from subscription of $81.4 million. Unbilled
revenue as of June 30, 2020 increased $162.0 million from December 31, 2019
primarily due to increased customer adoption of multi-year subscription
agreements.
                                       41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While it is generally our practice to promptly ship our products upon receipt of
properly finalized orders, at any given time, we have confirmed product license
orders that have not shipped and are unfulfilled. Backlog includes the aggregate
amounts we expect to recognize as point in time revenue in the following quarter
associated with contractually committed amounts for on-premise subscription
software licenses, as well as confirmed product license orders that have not
shipped and are wholly unfulfilled. As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the
amount of backlog was not material. We do not believe that backlog, as of any
particular date, is a reliable indicator of future performance.
International Revenues
International revenues (sales outside the United States) accounted for 50.7% and
47.0% of our net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and June 30,
2019, respectively. The increase in our international revenues as a percentage
of our net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the first quarter of 2020
including a higher volume of business continuity sales in the United States,
which impacted the mix of international revenues during the second quarter of
2020.
International revenues (sales outside the United States) accounted for 49.8% and
48.0% of our net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and June 30,
2019, respectively. The change in our international revenues as a percentage of
our net revenues was not significant. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated
financial statements for detailed information on net revenues by geography.

Cost of subscription, support and services revenues consists primarily of
compensation and other personnel-related costs of providing technical support,
consulting and cloud capacity costs, as well as the costs related to providing
our offerings delivered via the cloud. Cost of product and license revenues
consists primarily of hardware, shipping expense, royalties, product media and
duplication, manuals and packaging materials. Also included in cost of net
revenues is amortization of product related intangible assets.
Cost of subscription, support and services revenues increased for the three
months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 and
for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2019 primarily due to an increase in costs related to providing our subscription
offerings. We currently expect Cost of subscription, support and services
revenues to increase when comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third
quarter of 2019, consistent with the expected increases in Subscription revenue
as discussed above.
Cost of product and license revenues decreased for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 and for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019
primarily due to lower overall sales of our perpetual Networking products, which
contain hardware components that have a higher cost than our software products.
We currently expect Cost of product and license revenues to decrease when
comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019, consistent
with the expected decrease in Product and license revenue.
Amortization of product related intangible assets decreased for the three months
ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 and for the
six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019
primarily due to lower amortization of certain intangible assets becoming fully
amortized.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 84.7% for the three months ended
June 30, 2020, and 85.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, respectively,
and 85.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 85.2% for the six months
ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The change in gross margin when comparing the
three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2019 was not significant.

Operating Expenses
Foreign Currency Impact on Operating Expenses
The functional currency for all of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is the
U.S. dollar. A substantial majority of our overseas operating expenses and
capital purchasing activities are transacted in local currencies and are
therefore subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In order
to minimize the impact on our operating results, we generally initiate our
hedging of currency exchange risks up to 12 months in advance of anticipated
foreign currency expenses. Generally, when the dollar is weak, foreign currency
denominated expenses will be higher, and these higher expenses will be partially
offset by the gains realized from our hedging contracts. Conversely, if the
dollar is strong, foreign currency denominated expenses will be lower. These
lower expenses will in turn be partially offset by the losses incurred from our
hedging contracts. There is a risk that there will be fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates beyond the time frame for which we hedge our risk.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs
and facility and equipment costs directly related to our research and
development activities. We expensed substantially all development costs included
in the research and development of our products.
Research and development expenses increased during the three months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to
stock-based compensation. Research and development expenses increased during the
six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019
primarily due to compensation and other employee-related costs related to a net
increase in headcount.

Sales, marketing and services expenses consist primarily of personnel related
costs, including sales commissions, pre-sales support, the costs of marketing
programs aimed at increasing revenue, such as brand development, advertising,
trade shows, public relations and other market development programs and costs
related to our facilities, equipment, information systems and pre-sale
demonstration related cloud capacity costs that are directly related to our
sales, marketing and services activities.
Sales, marketing and services expenses decreased during the three months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to
the cancellation of in-person events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic of
$15.1 million, including our largest customer and partner event, Synergy, and
replacing them with virtual events or postponing to future periods. This
decrease was partially offset by an increase in marketing program costs of $9.7
million.
Sales, marketing and services expenses increased during the six months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to
the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, which included an increase in variable
compensation of $39.6 million driven by an increase in demand of limited use
licenses and ongoing business continuity sales, and an increase in marketing
programs of $10.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease
in costs of $12.6 million related to the cancellation of in-person events in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including our largest customer and partner
event, Synergy, and replacing them with virtual events or postponing to future
periods.

and expenses related to outside consultants assisting with information systems,
as well as accounting and legal fees.
General and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to
stock-based compensation costs of $7.6 million, an increase in compensation and
employee-related costs of $3.2 million, and an increase in credit loss expense
of $2.4 million, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $4.8
million.

costs of $8.1 million, an increase in stock-based compensation costs of $5.9
million, and an increase in charitable contributions of $5.6 million. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $15.1
million.

Restructuring expenses increased during the three months ended June 30, 2020
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the impairment
of a right-of-use ("ROU") asset related to a restructuring facility of $8.9
million as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by a decrease in
employee severance and related costs of $3.7 million.
Restructuring expenses increased during the six months ended June 30, 2020
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the impairment
of an ROU asset related to a restructuring facility of $8.9 million as a result
of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by a decrease in employee severance
and related costs of $4.0 million.
See Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional
details regarding our restructuring charges.
2020 Operating Expense Outlook
When comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019, we
currently expect Operating expenses to increase due to continued investment to
support our cloud transition and higher compensation related expenses.

Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on our cash, cash
equivalents and investment balances. Interest income decreased for the three
months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019
primarily due to lower yields on investments as a result of lower interest
rates.
Interest income decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to lower average balances of cash,
cash equivalents and investments as a result of the repayment of the outstanding
principal balance of our Convertible Notes on April 15, 2019, as well as lower
yields on investments as a result of lower interest rates. See Note 6 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our
investments.

Term Loan Credit Agreement and our credit facility. Interest expense increased
for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended

repayment of the outstanding principal balance on April 15, 2019.
Interest expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to

Other income (expense), net is primarily comprised of gains (losses) from
remeasurement of foreign currency transactions, sublease income, realized losses
related to changes in the fair value of our investments that have a decline in
fair value and recognized gains (losses) related to our investments, which was
not material for all periods presented.
The change in Other income (expense), net during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is
primarily driven by the remeasurement and settlement of foreign currency
transactions.
Income Taxes
We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in
which we operate as part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated
financial statements. We maintain certain strategic management and operational
activities in overseas subsidiaries and our foreign earnings are taxed at rates
that are generally lower than in the United States.
Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate
primarily due to tax credits and lower tax rates on earnings generated by our
foreign operations that are taxed primarily in Switzerland.
Our effective tax rate was 12.5% and 12.8% for the three months ended June 30,
2020 and 2019, respectively. When comparing the three months ended June 30, 2020
to the three months ended June 30, 2019, the effective tax rate did not
materially change.
Our effective tax rate was 8.0% and 9.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate when comparing
the six months ended June 30, 2020 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was
primarily due to an increase in the discrete tax benefits for share-based
payments and a tax benefit for the impact of the closure of a California audit
during the six month period ended June 30, 2020.
Our U.S. liquidity needs are currently satisfied using cash flows generated from
our U.S. operations, borrowings, or both. We also utilize a variety of tax
planning strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available
in locations in which it is needed. We expect to repatriate a substantial
portion of our foreign earnings over time, to the extent that the foreign
earnings are not restricted by local laws or result in significant incremental
costs associated with repatriating the foreign earnings. See Note 14 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our
income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated operating cash flows of
$703.4 million. These operating cash flows related primarily to net income of
$294.1 million, adjusted for, among other things, non-cash charges, stock-based
compensation expense of $143.7 million and depreciation and amortization
expenses of $104.9 million and a change in operating assets and liabilities of
$160.2 million. The change in our operating assets and liabilities was mostly
the result of an inflow from accounts receivable of $95.3 million, primarily due
to an increase in collections from prior period sales, an inflow from accrued
expenses and other current liabilities of $38.0 million, primarily due to an
increase in employee-related accruals, and an inflow from accounts payable of
$37.9 million, primarily due to cloud hosting fees. These inflows are partially
offset by an outflow in other assets of $39.5 million, primarily due to an
increase in capitalized commissions from higher subscription sales. Our
investing activities used $289.7 million of cash consisting primarily of net
purchases of investments of $265.4 million and cash paid for the purchase of
property and equipment of $21.1 million. Our financing activities used cash of
$400.2 million primarily for stock repurchases of $1.00 billion, amounts paid
for but not settled under our accelerated stock repurchase program of $200.0
million, cash paid for tax withholding on vested stock awards of $101.2 million
and cash dividends on our common stock of $86.1 million. These outflows are
partially offset by net proceeds from the issuance of our 2030 Notes of $738.1
million and net borrowings from our Term Loan Credit Agreement of $248.8
million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we generated operating cash flows of
$429.9 million. These operating cash flows related primarily to net income of
$203.8 million, adjusted for, among other things, non-cash charges, stock-based
compensation expense of $133.6 million, depreciation and amortization expenses
of $109.1 million, and deferred income tax expense of $18.9 million. Partially
offsetting these cash inflows was a change in operating assets and liabilities
of $50.3 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was
primarily a result of an outflow in deferred revenue of $89.9 million, an
outflow in income taxes, net of $67.3 million due to decreases in income taxes
payable, and an outflow in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of
$62.8 million, primarily due to decreases in employee-related accruals of $39.7
million and payments on lease liabilities of $27.1 million. These outflows are
partially offset by an inflow in accounts receivable of $155.2 million driven by
an increase in collections and an inflow from prepaid expenses and other current
assets of $22.7 million, primarily due to decreases from prepaid cloud
commitment agreements. Our investing activities provided $1.03 billion of cash
consisting primarily of cash received from the net proceeds from the sale of
investments of $1.07 billion, partially offset by cash paid for the purchase of
property and equipment of $38.1 million. Our financing activities used cash of
$1.58 billion primarily due to the cash repayment of the outstanding principal
balance of our Convertible Notes of $1.16 billion, stock repurchases of $250.0
million, cash dividends on our common stock of $91.9 million and cash paid for
tax withholding on vested stock awards of $70.6 million.
Term Loan Credit Agreement
On January 21, 2020, we entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement with Bank of
America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto from
time to time (collectively, the "Lenders"). The Term Loan Credit Agreement
provides us with facilities to borrow term loans on an unsecured basis in an
aggregate principal amount of up to $1.00 billion, consisting of (1) a $500.0
million 364-day Term Loan, and (2) a $500.0 million 3-year Term Loan, in each
case in a single borrowing, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set
forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. On January 30, 2020, we borrowed
$1.00 billion under the term loans and used the proceeds to enter into ASR
transactions with each of the Dealers for an aggregate of $1.00 billion. See
Notes 11 and 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for
additional details on the Term Loan Credit Agreement and ASR.
Senior Notes
On February 25, 2020, we issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due
March 1, 2030. The 2030 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.300% per annum.
Interest on the 2030 Notes is due semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of
each year, beginning on September 1, 2020. The net proceeds from this offering
were $738.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated
offering expenses payable by us. Net proceeds from this offering were primarily
used to repay amounts outstanding under our Term Loan Credit Agreement. The 2030
Notes will mature on March 1, 2030, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with
their terms prior to such date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used the net proceeds from the
2030 Notes and cash to repay $500.0 million under the 364-day Term Loan and
$250.0 million under the 3-year Term Loan. As of June 30, 2020, $250.0 million
was outstanding under the 3-year Term Loan.
On November 15, 2017, we issued $750.0 million of the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes
accrue interest at a rate of 4.500% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Notes is due
semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2018.
The 2027 Notes will mature on December 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or
repurchased in accordance with their terms prior
                                       46

to such date. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for
additional details on the 2030 Notes and the 2027 Notes.
Credit Facility
On November 26, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement
(the "Credit Agreement") with a group of financial institutions, which amended
and restated our existing credit agreement, dated January 7, 2015. The Credit
Agreement provides for a five year unsecured revolving credit facility in the
aggregate amount of $250.0 million, subject to continued covenant compliance. We
may elect to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $250.0 million if
existing or new lenders provide additional revolving commitments in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of borrowings under the
Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under
the credit facility. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements for additional details on the Credit Agreement.
Convertible Notes
During 2014, we completed a private placement of approximately $1.44 billion
principal amount of 0.500% Convertible Notes due 2019. All Convertible Notes
were converted by their beneficial owners prior to their maturity on April 15,
2019. In accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible
Notes, on April 15, 2019 we paid $1.16 billion in the outstanding aggregate
principal amount of the Convertible Notes and delivered 4.9 million newly issued
shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder of our conversion
obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes
being converted, in full satisfaction of such converted notes. We received
shares of our common stock under the Bond Hedges that offset the issuance of
shares of common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. Please see Note
11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on
our Convertible Notes and Bond Hedges.
Historically, significant portions of our cash inflows were generated by our
operations. We currently expect this trend to continue throughout 2020. We
believe that our existing cash and investments together with cash flows expected
from operations will be sufficient to meet expected operating and capital
expenditure requirements and service our debt obligations for the next 12
months. For additional information, see section titled Impact of COVID-19
Pandemic above. We continue to search for suitable acquisition candidates and
could acquire or make investments in companies we believe are related to our
strategic objectives. We could from time to time continue to seek to raise
additional funds through the issuance of debt or equity securities for larger
acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
                                                                                                     2020 Compared to
                                                     June 30, 2020          December 31, 2019              2019
                                                                              (In thousands)
Cash, cash equivalents and investments              $     880,318

$ 605,456 $ 274,862




The increase in Cash, cash equivalents and investments when comparing June 30,
2020 to December 31, 2019, is primarily due to cash received from debt offerings
of $987.0 million and cash provided by operating activities of $703.4 million,
partially offset by the cash paid for share repurchases of $1.00 billion,
amounts paid for but not settled under our accelerated stock repurchase program
of $200.0 million, cash paid for tax withholding on vested stock awards of
$101.2 million, cash dividends on our common stock of $86.1 million and cash
paid for property and equipment of $21.1 million.
As of June 30, 2020, $413.3 million of the $880.3 million of Cash, cash
equivalents and investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries. The cash, cash
equivalents and investments held by our foreign subsidiaries can be repatriated
without incurring any additional U.S. federal tax. Upon repatriation of these
funds, we could be subject to foreign and U.S. state income taxes. The amount of
taxes due is dependent on the amount and manner of the repatriation, as well as
the locations from which the funds are repatriated and received. We generally
invest our cash and cash equivalents in investment grade, highly liquid
securities to allow for flexibility in the event of immediate cash needs. Our
short-term and long-term investments primarily consist of interest-bearing
securities.

Stock Repurchase Programs
Our Board of Directors authorized an ongoing stock repurchase program, of which
$1.00 billion was approved in January 2020. We may use the approved dollar
authority to repurchase stock at any time until the approved amount is
exhausted. The objective of the stock repurchase program is to improve
stockholders' returns. At June 30, 2020, $914.1 million ($714.1 million after
taking into consideration the contracted but undelivered shares under the ASR of
$200.0 million) was available to repurchase common stock pursuant to the stock
repurchase program. We may repurchase shares under this program in future
periods depending on a variety of factors, including among other things,
macroeconomic factors, market conditions and business priorities. All shares
repurchased are recorded as treasury stock. A portion of the funds used to
repurchase stock over the course of the program was provided by net proceeds
from the Convertible Notes, the 2027 Notes and the Term Loan Credit Agreement as
well as proceeds from employee stock awards and the related tax benefit. We are
authorized to make purchases of our common stock using general corporate funds
through open market purchases, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in privately
negotiated transactions.
On January 30, 2020, we used the proceeds from our Term Loan Credit Agreement to
enter into an ASR with a group of Dealers for an aggregate of $1.00 billion.
Under the ASR transactions, we received an initial share delivery of 6.5 million
shares of our common stock, with the remainder, if any, delivered upon
completion of the ASR transactions. The total number of shares of common stock
that we will repurchase under each ASR agreement will be based on the average of
the daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the term of
the applicable ASR agreement, less a discount. At settlement, each Dealer may be
required to deliver additional shares of common stock to us, under certain
circumstances, we may be required to deliver shares of common stock, at our
election, or make a cash payment to the applicable Dealer. Final settlement of
the ASR agreement is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of
2020. See Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for
detailed information on the ASR.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we made no open market purchases
under the stock repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2020,
we expended $199.9 million on open market purchases under the stock repurchase
program, repurchasing 1,731,500 shares of common stock at an average price of
$115.45.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we expended $156.2 million on open
market purchases under the stock repurchase program, repurchasing 1,599,822
shares of common stock at an average price of $97.63. During the six months
ended June 30, 2019, we expended $250.0 million on open market purchases under
the stock repurchase program, repurchasing 2,510,882 shares of common stock at
an average price of $99.57.
Shares for Tax Withholding
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we withheld 256,376 and
739,600 shares, respectively, from equity awards that vested, totaling $35.8
million and $101.2 million, respectively, to satisfy minimum tax withholding
obligations that arose on the vesting of such equity awards. During the three
and six months ended June 30, 2019, we withheld 104,129 and 698,117 shares,
respectively, from equity awards that vested, totaling $10.4 million and $70.6
million respectively, to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations that arose
on the vesting of such equity awards. These shares are reflected as treasury
stock in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related cash outlays
do not reduce our total stock repurchase authority.
Contractual Obligations
With the exception of the new Term Loan Credit Agreement entered into on January
21, 2020, consisting of a $500.0 million 364-day Term Loan, and a $500.0 million
3-year Term Loan, and the $750.0 million 2030 Senior Notes issued on February
25, 2020, as discussed above under the subheading "Liquidity and Capital
Resources", there have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of
business to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2019. As of June 30,
2020, $250.0 million in principal amount was outstanding under the 3-year Term
Loan. For further information, see "Contractual Obligations" in Part II, Item 7
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
Other Purchase Commitments
In May 2020, we entered into an amended agreement with a third-party provider,
in the ordinary course of business, for the use of certain cloud services
through June 2029. Under the amended agreement, we are committed to a purchase
of $1.00 billion throughout the term of the agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we
had $987.9 million of remaining obligations under the purchase agreement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing
arrangements.
