CIBER, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of CIBER, Inc. and subsidiaries (together, “CIBER,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.  The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133,” which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  Companies are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  We are currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this standard.

Dilutive securities are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect.  The average number of anti-dilutive stock options (options whose exercise price is greater than the average CIBER stock price during the period) omitted from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding was 5,757,000 and 7,460,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

 

(3) Borrowings

 

Revolving Credit Facility On February 11, 2008, we entered into a $200 million senior secured reducing revolving credit facility, with several financial institutions as lenders and Wells Fargo as administrative agent (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our previous $60 million bank line of credit and refinanced all amounts outstanding thereunder.  The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.  Beginning on March 31, 2009, and continuing through December 31, 2010, the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced by $7.5 million each quarter end.  The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 11, 2011, at which time the remaining $140 million of maximum credit available will terminate and all outstanding balances must be repaid in full.

 

At our election, our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at rates calculated in reference to either the Wells Fargo prime lending rate (“prime”) plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 0.25%, or a London interbank offered market rate (“LIBOR”) for one to six month maturities, plus a margin that ranges from 0.75% to 1.75%.  At March 31, 2008, our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings was 5.00%.  We are also required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility that ranges from 0.20% to 0.50%.  For so long as our Debentures remain outstanding, we will also incur a facility fee of 0.15% on the entire amount of the commitment.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a minimum liquidity percentage.  We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of March 31, 2008.  The terms of the Revolving Credit Facility include, among other provisions, specific limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, stock repurchases, investments, guarantees, mergers, dispositions and acquisitions, and a prohibition on the payment of any dividends.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit and any outstanding letters of credit reduce the maximum available borrowings under the line of credit.  At March 31, 2008, we had approximately $1.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and borrowings of $100.4 million, leaving approximately $98.4 million of remaining borrowing availability under the line of credit.

 

Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures In a private placement on December 2, 2003, we issued $175.0 million of 2.875% Debentures due to mature in December 2023.  The Debentures are general unsecured obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities.  Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year.  As of March 31, 2008, we had repurchased and retired $84.0 million of our Debentures, leaving $91.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2008.  We paid $59.0 million for repurchases completed during the three months ended March 31, 2008, resulting in a gain, net of accelerated debt issuance costs of $1.7 million.  Additionally, during April 2008 we repurchased and retired an additional $10.0 million of our Debentures, leaving $81.0 million outstanding.

 

The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 73.3138 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.64 per share, subject to adjustments, prior to the close of business on the final maturity date only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business days after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures; (3) if the Debentures have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate transactions.  The conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.  In 2005, we made an irrevocable election to settle in cash and not in shares 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures surrendered for conversion.  As a result, upon conversion we will deliver cash in lieu of our common stock.

 

8



 

Debenture holders may also require us to repurchase their Debentures on December 15, 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2018, or at any time prior to their maturity in the case of certain events, at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.  From December 20, 2008, to but not including December 15, 2010, we may redeem any of the Debentures if the closing price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period.  Beginning December 15, 2010, we may, by providing at least 30-days’ notice to the holders, redeem any of the Debentures at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.  Given our current stock price and market interest rates, we expect that we will be required to repurchase most or all of the remaining Debentures on December 15, 2008.  As such, the Debentures would generally be considered to be a current liability instead of a long-term liability.  However, we have the intent and ability to use borrowings under our new Revolving Credit Facility (discussed above) that matures on February 11, 2011, for any Debenture repurchases as they occur up to and including December 15, 2008.  Since the new Revolving Credit Facility is long-term, we have continued to classify our Debentures as a long-term liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

(4) Financial Instruments

 

On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” for our financial assets and liabilities.  There was no material impact to our consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

Net Investment Hedges — Periodically, we enter into cross-currency swap arrangements with a financial institution to partially hedge the net assets of certain foreign operations (“net investment hedges”) and offset the foreign currency translation and economic exposures related to our investments in these foreign operations.  We consider the net investment hedges to be effective hedges with gains/losses recorded as part of shareholders’ equity.  Increases and decreases in the net investment in our subsidiaries due to foreign exchange volatility will be partially offset by foreign exchange losses and gains from the net investment hedge, both of which are recorded within “accumulated other comprehensive income” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

At March 31, 2008, we had net investment hedges in both Great Britain Pounds (“GBP”) and in Euros.  As of March 31, 2008, the GBP investment hedges had a notional amount of $20.2 million and a weighted average exchange rate of 0.4950 GBP for each United States dollar (“USD”).  The fair value of our GBP hedges was a gain of $305,000 at March 31, 2008.  As of March 31, 2008, the Euro investment hedges had a notional amount of $83.4 million and a weighted average exchange rate of 0.7197 Euros for each USD.  The fair value of our Euro hedges was a loss of $11.6 million at March 31, 2008.  The combined fair value of these net investment hedges at March 31, 2008, was a loss of approximately $11.3 million.  The fair values of our net investment hedges are determined using observable market inputs.  The hedges mature at varying dates up to September 2009.

 

(5) Shareholder’s Equity

 

Repurchase Program CIBER has had a common stock share repurchase program since 1999 that has been amended from time to time by our Board of Directors to increase the authorized shares available for repurchase.  Under the most recent authorization in February 2008, the Board approved an additional $10.0 million dollars for future repurchases of our common stock.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we repurchased 800,000 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $4.1 million.  At March 31, 2008, there was approximately $9.6 million remaining for future repurchases under this program.

Revenue.  Total revenue increased 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.  We are a global company; therefore, our revenue is denominated in multiple currencies and may be significantly affected by currency exchange-rate fluctuations.  The U.S. dollar further weakened in early 2008 against many currencies, resulting in favorable currency translation and greater reported U.S. dollar revenues.  Foreign currency rate changes resulted in approximately $11.9 million of additional reported revenue in 2008 over 2007.  Additionally, in late 2007, both our Enterprise Solutions and Europe divisions completed small acquisitions that contributed incremental revenue of approximately $5.5 million to the current period results.  Excluding the favorable currency translation effects and the incremental revenue from the 2007 acquisitions, our total revenue increased 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to increased SAP software-related services in Europe.

·                  U.S. Commercial revenue increased when compared to the same period of the prior year mainly due to several sizable contract wins, including some with an offshore delivery component.  In 2008, we continue to strategize and build upon the initiatives and investments of 2007 to further our goal of gaining market share.

 

·                  Europe’s current quarter revenue results represented its largest revenue quarter ever historically.  These results were in part due to approximately $11.9 million related to favorable foreign currency fluctuations, as well as approximately $1.5 million of incremental revenue from a late 2007 acquisition.  Excluding these items, our Europe division grew approximately 22% resulting from continued strong sales of SAP implementation services in almost all of our major operating territories, as well as many of our smaller territories.  It may be difficult for this division to continue this high level of growth throughout 2008, especially if the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Euro and British Pound.

 

12



 

·                  State & Local Government revenue growth was driven by increased revenue from a project with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, which is now in its third and final phase, as well as additional revenue from several new project starts.

 

·                  Federal revenue declined due to the expiration of one of our larger, long-term contracts that was subsequently awarded to a qualified small business.  CIBER has similarly lost several contracts in recent years because we do not qualify as a small business; therefore, we have been precluded from bidding on the renewal business.  We originally obtained these contracts through acquisitions of qualified small businesses that were originally awarded these contracts.  Additionally, we have been unsuccessful in replacing these expired contracts due in part, to a difficult governmental spending environment, illustrated by funding delays for IT initiatives.  The Federal division continues to focus on obtaining appropriate government certifications that will allow us to bid on large projects as a prime contractor.  This process, which started in mid-2007, ultimately will entail the approval of twelve different business systems.  We recently received our first certification related to our Federal accounting system and two more audits are scheduled for 2008.  We believe these certifications will increase our growth opportunities as we will be able to compete for additional large government contracts.

 

·                  Most of the revenue growth in our Enterprise Solutions division, or approximately $4.0 million, was related to incremental revenue from an acquisition completed in September 2007.  Excluding that acquisition, our Enterprise Solutions division grew only 1% mainly due to a limited number of projects starting in the current quarter to replace previously completed projects.  Additionally, our commissions on the sale of IBM products were again slower than the same period of the prior year.  We believe this is due to a combination of IBM product life-cycle issues, as well as economic-related issues.

 

Gross Profit.  In total, our gross profit margin improved 50 basis points to 27.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 27.0% for the same period in 2007.  Gross profit margin on consulting services revenue, which grew by 40 basis points, accounted for most of the increase.  Strong consulting services margin improvements in our U.S. Commercial, Enterprise Solutions and Federal divisions were responsible.  An increased focus on how projects are priced and improving delivery has helped to achieve these results.  Europe experienced a decrease in its services gross profit margin in the current three months with the Easter holiday falling in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007.  Europe’s consulting services typically averages slightly higher gross profit margins compared to our domestic business due to their greater concentration of ERP-related services.  As Europe contributes a higher percentage of our revenues, our gross profit margins tend to increase.

 

Selling, general and administrative.  As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses increased 30 basis points to 21.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 21.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007; sizable increases in our Federal and Enterprise Solutions divisions were primarily responsible.  Increased SG&A costs in our Federal division related to our infrastructure investments made to further our ability to bid on large projects as a prime contractor.  Additionally, our Enterprise Solutions division incurred additional infrastructure costs related to the acquisition completed in September 2007 and increased costs related to sales and recruiting during the current period.  Our Europe division partially offset the above increases in SG&A costs with a sizable decrease of their SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue during the current period.  Although Europe showed a sizable percentage decrease in SG&A expenses, its business carries inherently higher SG&A costs compared to our domestic operations.  This is due to their greater concentration of ERP-related business, as well as additional overhead costs from carrying out business operations across multiple countries.  As Europe represents a greater percentage of our overall revenue, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue on a total company basis is driven upward.

 

Operating income.  Our 50 basis point improvement in total gross profit margin was partially offset by a 30 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue, resulting in an improvement in operating income of 20 basis points to 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 4.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

*Divisions calculated as a % of division revenue, all other calculated as a % of total revenue

 

·                  The U.S. Commercial division’s operating income percentage increased due to the improvement in gross profit margin on services revenue, while holding SG&A expenses to only a slight increase as a percentage of revenue.  Additionally, the newer engagements in this division have been yielding slightly better margins.

 

·                  Europe operating income improved primarily due to a reduction in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue that was attained from operating leverage achieved on higher revenue volumes.  The improvement in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was partially offset by the gross profit margin decrease on consulting services revenue.

 

·                  State & Local Government operating income decreased as a result of additional costs on our new CRIMES software product, as well as reduced profitability on certain fixed-price projects that are nearing completion.

 

·                  Federal operating income decreased because of increased SG&A expenses in the current period for operations infrastructure enhancements related to obtaining certifications for prime contractor bidding status.

 

·                  Although Enterprise Solution’s gross profit margin on services improved, it was essentially offset by a decrease in its gross profit margin on other revenue, representing this division’s hardware sales that continue to be slower than in previous years.  The overall flat gross profit margin, combined with the increase in SG&A costs, resulted in the decrease in operating income.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased over $600,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily resulting from higher-cost borrowings under our new senior secured reducing revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) that have been utilized to fund the recent repurchases of our lower-cost convertible senior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”).  The Revolving Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 5.00% at March 31, 2008, compared to the Debentures fixed rate of interest of 2.875%.

 

Other expense, net.  Other expense, net was $810,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to other expense, net of $360,000 for the similar period in 2007.  Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily consisted of net foreign exchange losses of $2.0 million and minority interest expense of $458,000, offset by a net gain on the retirement of our Debentures of $1.7 million.  For the similar period of 2007, other expense consisted of minority interest expense of $236,000 and net foreign exchange losses of $125,000.

 

14



 

Income taxes.  Our effective tax rates were 39.0% and 37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Our tax rate for 2008 was negatively impacted by the expiration of the U.S. Federal Research and Experimentation tax credit on December 31, 2007.  Our higher domestic tax rate in 2008 was partially offset by a reduction in our blended European tax rate.  The lower European tax rate was the result of lower statutory rates in several of our territories, as well as a shift toward improved profit results in some of our more tax-advantageous territories.  Although we expect the lower European tax rate to continue throughout 2008, actual results could vary if the mix of profit shifts between countries.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2008, we had $174.8 million of working capital and a current ratio of 2.1: 1, compared to working capital of $175.8 million and a current ratio of 2.1:1 at December 31, 2007.  Historically, we have used our operating cash flow and borrowings, as well as periodic sales of our common stock to finance ongoing operations and business combinations.  We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our operating cash flow and our available Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs through at least the next year.

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $38.5 million at March 31, 2008, compared to a balance of $31.7 million at December 31, 2007.  Typically, most of our cash balance is maintained by our European subsidiaries and our domestic cash balances are used daily to reduce our line of credit balance.

 

Operating activities.  Total accounts receivable decreased $4.8 million to $264.3 million at March 31, 2008, from $269.1 million at December 31, 2007, primarily due to improved domestic collections, which included approximately $10 million that was received from the City of New Orleans (the “City”) during the three months ended March 31, 2008.  Total accounts receivable day’s sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 75 days at March 31, 2008, compared to 78 days at December 31, 2007.  Changes in accounts receivable have a significant impact on our cash flow.  Items that can affect our accounts receivable DSO include: contractual payment terms, client payment patterns (including approval or processing delays and cash management), client mix (public vs. private), fluctuations in the level of IT product sales and the effectiveness of our collection efforts.  Many of the individual reasons are outside of our control and, as a result, it is normal for our DSO to fluctuate from period to period, affecting our liquidity.  Our outstanding accounts receivable from the City was $10 million at March 31, 2008, down from $17 million at December 31, 2007.  Of our outstanding receivable balance at March 31, 2008, approximately $4 million is related to work performed following the hurricane disaster.  The City continues to experience administrative complications and FEMA reimbursement delays, which have delayed payment for our services.  We continue to work with the City and FEMA on the remaining balance.  In addition, we continue to provide a variety of services to the City and based on our communications with the City, we believe we will be able to collect the balance in full.

 

Accrued compensation and related liabilities increased to $58.9 million at March 31, 2008, from $54.8 million at December 31, 2007, due to increased domestic payroll levels, partially offset by a decrease in Europe’s accrued payroll since the end of 2007.  These balances are subject to the effects from the timing of our normal bi-weekly U.S. payroll cycle.  At March 31, 2008, there were 11 days of domestic unpaid wages, compared to 6 days at December 31, 2007.  In addition, annual bonuses are typically accrued throughout the year and paid in the first quarter of the following year, causing some fluctuation from quarter to quarter.

 

Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities typically fluctuate based on when we receive actual vendor invoices and when they are paid.  The largest of such items typically relates to vendor payments for IT hardware and software products that we resell and payments to services-related contractors.  Due to the slower IBM product sales during the second half of 2007, our accounts payable balance related to hardware is down $3.4 million at March 31, 2008,

 

15



 

compared to December 31, 2007.  In addition, the unrealized loss on our net investment hedges increased to $11.3 million at March 31, 2008, from $4.4 million at December 31, 2007, and represents a substantial portion of the increase in our other accrued liabilities at March 31, 2008.

 

Investing activities.  Investing activities are primarily comprised of cash paid for acquisitions and purchases of property and equipment.  We spent approximately $500,000 related to previous acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to approximately $1.4 million used for acquisitions during the same period of the prior year.  Spending on property and equipment increased to approximately $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

Financing activities.  Financing activity inflows consist of cash provided by borrowings under our long-term bank debt, sales of stock under our employee stock purchase plan and the exercise of employee stock options.  The cash provided by sales of stock under our employee stock purchase plan and options exercised was $440,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Our financing activity outflows typically consist of cash used for the repayment of borrowings and the purchase of treasury stock.  We purchased $4.1 million of treasury stock during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  At March 31, 2008, we had authorization for the repurchase of an additional $9.6 million of our common stock under our current repurchase plan.  We may continue to use cash to repurchase our common stock (subject to limitations under our new Revolving Credit Facility discussed below).  Additionally, we used cash of $59.0 million to retire some of our Debentures in 2008.  We may continue to voluntarily repurchase our Debentures if we can obtain them at favorable prices.  In addition, in December 2008 we may be required to repurchase the remaining Debentures (see below).

 

Revolving Credit Facility On February 11, 2008, we entered into a $200 million Revolving Credit Facility, with several financial institutions as lenders and Wells Fargo as administrative agent.  The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our previous $60 million bank line of credit and refinanced all amounts outstanding thereunder.  The credit available under the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for our working capital and general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of our convertible senior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”).  Substantially all of our assets secure the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Beginning on March 31, 2009, and continuing through December 31, 2010, the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced by $7.5 million each quarter end.  The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 11, 2011, at which time the remaining $140 million of maximum credit available will terminate and all outstanding balances must be repaid in full.  Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments (and commitment reductions) in amounts equal to the net cash proceeds resulting from specified events such as asset dispositions, event of loss, issuance or incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of equity, subject in each case to specified thresholds and other exceptions.

 

At our election, our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at rates calculated in reference to either the Wells Fargo prime lending rate (“prime”) plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 0.25%, or a London interbank offered market rate (“LIBOR”) for one to six month maturities, plus a margin that ranges from 0.75% to 1.75%.  At March 31, 2008, our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings was 5.00%.  We are also required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility that ranges from 0.20% to 0.50%.  For so long as our Debentures remain outstanding, we will also incur a facility fee of 0.15% on the entire amount of the commitment.

 

The terms of the Revolving Credit Facility include, among other provisions, specific limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, stock repurchases, investments, guarantees, mergers, dispositions and acquisitions, and a prohibition on the payment of any dividends.  The Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio (Total Debt divided by EBITDA) of 3.25 to 1.00, a maximum senior leverage ratio (Total Debt excluding Debentures divided by EBITDA) of 1.50 to 1.00, a minimum interest coverage ratio (net income plus net interest expense (“EBIT”) divided by interest expense) of 3.50 to 1.00 and a minimum liquidity percentage (Total Liquidity divided by outstanding Debentures) of 100% to 115%.  We are required to be in compliance with the financial covenants at the end of each quarter.  We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of March 31, 2008.  Certain elements of these ratios are defined below:

 

16



 

·                  Total Debt includes borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, any foreign bank debt and our term loans with Wells Fargo, plus the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit.  This includes our Debentures.

 

·                  EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations plus: net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization expense, share-based compensation expense and minority interest expense, measured over the prior four quarters.

 

·                  Total Liquidity represents unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, plus the remaining available commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility, less debt of our foreign subsidiaries.

 

Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures - In a private placement on December 2, 2003, we issued $175.0 million of 2.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due to mature in December 2023.  The Debentures are general unsecured obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities.  Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year.  As of March 31, 2008, we had repurchased and retired $84.0 million of our Debentures, leaving $91.0 million outstanding.  We paid $59.0 million for repurchases completed during the three months ended March 31, 2008, resulting in a gain, net of accelerated debt issuance costs of $1.7 million.  Additionally, during April 2008, we repurchased and retired another $10.0 million of our Debentures, leaving $81.0 million outstanding.

 

The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 73.3138 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.64 per share, subject to adjustments, prior to the close of business on the final maturity date only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2003, if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business days after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures; (3) if the Debentures have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate transactions.  The conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.  In 2005, we made irrevocable elections to settle in cash and not in shares, 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures surrendered for conversion.  As a result, upon conversion we will deliver cash in lieu of our common stock.

 

Debenture holders may also require us to repurchase their Debentures on December 15, 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2018, or at any time prior to their maturity in the case of certain events, at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.  From December 20, 2008, to but not including December 15, 2010, we may redeem any of the Debentures if the closing price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period.  Beginning December 15, 2010, we may, by providing at least 30-days’ notice to the holders, redeem any of the Debentures at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.  Given our current stock price and market interest rates, we expect that we will be required to repurchase most or all of the remaining Debentures on December 15, 2008.  We may voluntarily continue to repurchase more of the Debentures prior to December 15, 2008.  We believe our new Revolving Credit Facility (mentioned above) and our expected cash flow will provide sufficient available resources to cover the payment of any Debentures that we will have to settle in 2008.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which changes accounting for business acquisitions.  SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  Certain provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration), exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting, and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets and tax benefits.  For CIBER, SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for

 

17



 

business combinations and adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balances occurring after December 31, 2008.  We are currently evaluating the future impact and required disclosures of this standard.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51,” which establishes new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (“NCIs”) in partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries.  Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially-owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.  This standard also requires changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements.  SFAS No. 160 is effective beginning January 1, 2009.  The provisions of the standard are to be applied to all NCIs prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the future impact and required disclosures of this standard.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133,” which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  Companies are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  We are currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this standard.

 

Proposed New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In August 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) proposed FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-a, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash (Including Partial Cash Settlement) upon Conversion.  The proposed FSP would require the proceeds from the issuance of such convertible debt instruments to be allocated between a liability component (issued at a discount) and an equity component.  The resulting debt discount would be amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense.  Following the FASB meeting on March 26, 2008, a final draft of the FSP is anticipated shortly and is expected to be substantially similar to the original proposal, with some additional disclosure requirements that were not included in the original proposal.  The final FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, will not permit early application and will require retrospective application to all periods presented.  This FSP will change the accounting treatment for our Debentures.  Although we anticipate that most or all of our remaining Debentures will be required to be repurchased prior to the adoption of this FSP on January 1, 2009, our financial statements covering past periods (including the current fiscal year) will be impacted as a result of the required retrospective application.  Financial statements for future periods may also be impacted to the extent that any of the Debentures remain outstanding on January 1, 2009.  We will continue to evaluate the impact of the FSP on our consolidated financial statements in anticipation of the release of the final FSP.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 

Periodically, we enter into cross-currency swap arrangements with a financial institution to partially hedge the net assets of certain foreign operations (“net investment hedges”) and offset the foreign currency translation and economic exposures related to our investments in these foreign operations.  Increases and decreases in the net investment in our subsidiaries due to foreign exchange volatility will be partially offset by foreign exchange losses and gains from the net investment hedge.  At March 31, 2008, we had net investment hedges in both Great Britain Pounds (“GBP”) and in Euros.  As of March 31, 2008, the GBP investment hedges had a notional amount of $20.2 million and a weighted average exchange rate of 0.4950 GBP for each United States dollar (“USD”).  A 10% change in the value of the USD against the GBP would result in approximately a $2.0 million change in the value of our hedge instruments.  As of

 

18



 

March 31, 2008, the Euro investment hedges had a notional amount of $83.4 million and a weighted average exchange rate of 0.7197 Euros for each USD.  A 10% change in the value of the USD against the Euro would result in approximately an $8.3 million change in the value of our hedge instruments.  The hedges mature at varying dates up to September 2009.  The combined fair value of these net investment hedges at March 31, 2008, was a loss of approximately $11.3 million.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, there were no other material changes in our market risk exposure.  For a complete discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currency risk and interest rate risk as of December 31, 2007, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures – We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information related to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.  Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2008, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Controls - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
