Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) include the accounts of Compuware Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company", “Compuware”, “we”, “our” and “us”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingencies and results of operations. While management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at June 30, 2013, final amounts may differ from these estimates.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2013 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected to be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Basis for Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue from licensing software products; providing maintenance and support services for those products; providing hosted software; and rendering professional and application services. Our software solutions are comprised of license fees, maintenance fees, subscription fees for hosted software and software related professional services fees.

We sometimes enter into arrangements that include both software related deliverables (licensed software products, maintenance services or software related professional services) and non-software deliverables (hosted software, professional services unrelated to our software products or application services). Our hosted software and application services do not qualify as software deliverables because our license grant does not allow the customer the right or capability to take possession of the software. For arrangements that contain both software and non-software deliverables, in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition,” we allocate the arrangement consideration to the non-software deliverables as a group, and to the software deliverables as a group (the “Deliverable Groups”). We determine the selling price to allocate the arrangement consideration to the Deliverable Groups based on the following hierarchy of evidence: vendor specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE,” meaning price when sold separately) if available; third-party evidence of selling price if VSOE is not available; or best estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. We currently are unable to establish VSOE or third-party evidence of selling price for either our software related deliverables or our non-software deliverables as a group. Therefore, the best estimate of selling price for each Deliverable Group is determined primarily by considering various factors, including, but not limited to stated renewal rates in a contract, if any, the historical selling price of these deliverables in similar stand-alone transactions and pricing practices. Total arrangement consideration is then allocated on the basis of the Deliverable Group’s relative selling price.

Table of Contents

Once we have allocated the arrangement consideration between the Deliverable Groups, we recognize revenue as described in the respective software license fees, maintenance fees, subscription fees, professional services fees and application services fees sections below.

In order for a transaction to be eligible for revenue recognition, the following revenue criteria must be met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We evaluate collectability based on past customer history, external credit ratings and payment terms within various customer agreements.

Software license fees

The Company's software license agreements provide our customers with a right to use our software perpetually (perpetual licenses) or during a defined term (time-based licenses).

Assuming all revenue recognition criteria are met, perpetual license fee revenue is recognized using the residual method, under which the fair value, based on VSOE, of all undelivered elements of the agreement (i.e., maintenance and software related professional services) is deferred. VSOE is based on rates charged for maintenance and professional services when sold separately. The remaining portion of the fee is recognized as license fee revenue upon delivery of the products.

For revenue arrangements where there is a lack of VSOE for any undelivered elements, license fee revenue is deferred and recognized upon delivery of those elements or when VSOE can be established. However, when maintenance or software related professional services are the only undelivered elements, the license fee revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the longer of the maintenance term or the period the software related professional services are expected to be performed. Such transactions include time-based licenses and certain unlimited capacity licenses, as the Company has not established VSOE for the undelivered elements in these arrangements. In order to comply with SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 5-03(b), which requires product, services and other categories of revenue to be displayed separately on the income statement, the Company separates the license fee, maintenance fee and software related professional services fee (which is included in professional services fees) associated with these types of arrangements based on its determination of fair value. The Company applies VSOE for maintenance related to perpetual license transactions and stand-alone software related professional services arrangements as a reasonable and consistent approximation of fair value to separate license fee, maintenance fee and software related professional services fee revenue for income statement classification purposes.

The Company offers flexibility to customers purchasing licenses for its products and related maintenance. Terms of these transactions range from standard perpetual license sales that include one year of maintenance to large multi-year (generally two to five years), multi-product contracts. The Company allows deferred payment terms with installments collectable over the term of the contract. Based on the Company’s successful collection history for deferred payments, license fees (net of any financing fees) are generally recognized as revenue as discussed above. In certain transactions where it cannot be concluded that the fee is fixed or determinable due to the nature of the deferred payment terms, the Company recognizes revenue as payments become due. Financing fees are recognized as interest income over the term of the related receivable.

Table of Contents

Maintenance fees

The Company’s maintenance arrangements allow customers to receive technical support and advice, including problem resolution services and assistance in product installation, error corrections and any product enhancements released during the maintenance period. The first year of maintenance is generally included with all license agreements. Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance arrangements, which generally range from one to five years.

Subscription fees

Subscription fees relate to arrangements that permit our customers to access and utilize our hosted software delivered on a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) basis. Subscription fees are deferred upon contract execution and are recognized ratably over the term of the subscription.

Professional services fees

The Company provides a broad range of IT services for mainframe, distributed, web and mobile environments, including mobile computing application development and integration, package software customization, cloud computing consulting, development and integration of legacy systems, IT portfolio management services, enterprise legacy modernization services and application performance management. The Company also offers implementation, consulting and training services in tandem with the Company’s software solutions offerings, which are referred to as software related professional services.

Professional services fees are generally based on hourly or daily rates. Revenues from professional services are recognized in the period the services are performed provided that collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. For development services rendered under fixed-price contracts, revenues are recognized using the proportional performance method and if it is determined that costs will exceed revenue, the expected loss is recorded at the time the loss becomes apparent.

Application services fees

Our application services fees consist of fees related to our Covisint on-demand software including associated services. The arrangements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software at any time, nor do the arrangements contain rights of return. Many of our application services contracts include a services project fee and a recurring fee for ongoing platform-as-a-service (“PaaS”) operations. Certain services related to these projects have stand-alone value (e.g., other vendors provide similar services) and qualify as a separate unit of accounting. Services that have stand-alone value are recognized as delivered. For those services that do not have stand-alone value, the revenue is deferred and recognized over the longer of the committed term of the subscription agreement (generally one to five years) or the expected period over which the customer will receive benefit (generally five years). The recurring fees are recognized ratably over the applicable service period.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue consists primarily of billed and unbilled maintenance and subscription fees related to the future service period of maintenance and subscription agreements in effect at the reporting date. Deferred license, software related services and application services fees are also included in deferred revenue for those arrangements that are being recognized over time. Sales commission costs that directly relate to revenue transactions that are deferred are recorded as “prepaid expenses and other current assets” or non-current “other assets”, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized as "cost of application services" or “sales and marketing” expenses, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the revenue recognition period of the related customer contracts.

Table of Contents

Research and development

Research and development (“R&D”) costs primarily include the cost of programming personnel and amounted to $25.2 million and $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. R&D costs related to our software solutions are reported as “technology development and support” and for our application services network, the costs are reported as “cost of application services” in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company does not permanently reinvest any earnings in its foreign subsidiaries and recognizes all deferred tax liabilities that arise from outside basis differences in its investment in subsidiaries.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessments as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recorded which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.

Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included in the income tax provision.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 16.7% as compared to 37.0% for the first quarter of 2013. The decline in the effective rate was primarily due to the recording of a benefit related to stock compensation as a result of a change in our expectation regarding the tax deductibility of compensation for a certain officer during the first quarter of 2014. The tax deductibility of this officer’s compensation is no longer subject to the tax deduction threshold for officer compensation. Accordingly, a deferred tax asset was recorded related to the stock compensation that was previously expected to be disallowed for tax purposes.

Cash paid for income taxes was $3.7 million and $3.1 million for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We plan to adopt this ASU in fiscal 2015 and do not expect it to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210)”. The amendments in this ASU require improved disclosure information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Subsequently in January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which clarifies the types of instruments and transactions that are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements established by ASU 2011-11. These ASUs should be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The requirements of these ASUs were adopted during our quarter ended June 30, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on our disclosures.

Note 2 – Financing Receivables

In accordance with ASU No. 2010-20 “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” the Company allows deferred payment terms that exceed one year for customers purchasing licenses (perpetual or time-based) for our software products and the related maintenance services (“multi-year deferred payment arrangements”). A financing receivable exists when the license transfers to the customer or the related maintenance service has been provided (i.e., revenue recognition has occurred) prior to the due date of the related receivable. Our products financing receivables primarily consist of the perpetual license portion of outstanding multi-year deferred payment arrangements.

As of June 30, 2013, our loans receivable balance consisted of a note due from ForeSee Results, Inc. The terms of the note require quarterly payments of principal and interest through March 31, 2015 at an annual interest rate of 7.0%.

Note 3 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risks related to assets and liabilities that are denominated in non-local currency and current inter-company balances due to and from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to sell or buy currencies with the intent of mitigating foreign exchange rate risks related to these balances. The Company does not hedge currency risk related to anticipated revenue or expenses denominated in foreign currency. All foreign exchange derivatives are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. See note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

The foreign currency net gains or (losses) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were ($544,000) and $737,000, respectively. The hedging transaction net gains or (losses) from foreign exchange derivative contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $10,000 and ($213,000), respectively. These amounts were recorded to “administrative and general” in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Table of Contents

The Company has derivative contracts maturing through July 2013 to sell $3.2 million and purchase $23.8 million in foreign currencies at June 30, 2013 and had derivative contracts maturing through April 2013 to sell $1.8 million and purchase $15.5 million in foreign currencies at March 31, 2013.

Note 4 - Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company reports its money market funds and foreign exchange derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using the following fair value hierarchy: (1) Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (2) Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and (3) Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, stock awards to purchase 2.2 million and 14.5 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive and stock awards to purchase 5.4 million and 1.4 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because the performance conditions for vesting had not yet been met. See note 6 for a discussion of options with performance conditions and performance based stock awards.

Note 6 – Stock Benefit Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Benefit Plans

The Company has the following stock benefit plans: (1) the Amended and Restated 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2007 LTIP”) allows the Company’s Compensation Committee to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based cash or restricted stock unit awards and cash incentive awards to employees and directors of the Company; (2) the Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows participating U.S. and Canadian employees the right to have up to 10% of their compensation withheld to purchase Company common stock at a 5% discount; and (3) the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust/401(k) Plan (“ESOP/401(k)”), which includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, allows the Company to make contributions to the ESOP/401(k) for the benefit of substantially all U.S. employees.

Covisint Corporation (“Covisint”), a subsidiary of the Company, maintains a stock benefit plan referred to as the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2009 Covisint LTIP”) allowing the board of directors of Covisint to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based cash or restricted stock unit awards and cash incentive awards to employees and directors of Covisint and the Company.

ESOP/401(k)

The Company provides a matching program for the 401(k) component of the ESOP/401(k). The Company matches 33% of employees’ 401(k) contributions up to 2% of eligible earnings. Matching contributions by the Company vest 100% when an employee attains three years of service with the Company. The Company expensed $1.3 million related to this program during both the first quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2013.

Options that Vest Based on both Performance and Service Conditions (“Performance Options”)

As of June 30, 2013, 3.3 million stock options that vest based on both service and performance conditions were outstanding. The performance vesting conditions for these options are based on company-wide revenue and earnings targets. As of June 30, 2013, it is deemed probable that the performance targets for approximately 479,000 of these options will be achieved. Expense totaling $327,000 was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income related to these stock options during the first quarter of 2014.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company paid its first quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share. In connection with this, approximately 45,000 dividend equivalent shares were issued to participants holding non-vested RSUs as of the dividend record date.

Stock Awards Compensation

As of June 30, 2013, it is expected that total unrecognized compensation cost of $27.4 million, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested equity awards that are expected to vest will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.90 years.

Covisint Corporation 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan

As of June 30, 2013, there were 4.3 million stock options outstanding from the 2009 Covisint LTIP, which reflects the Covisint board of directors approved 30-for-1 stock split on May 23, 2013. The majority of these options will vest only if, prior to August 26, 2015, Covisint completes an initial public offering (“IPO”) or if there is a change in control of the Covisint segment (“Covisint”).

Table of Contents

Certain employees who received stock options from the 2009 Covisint LTIP were also awarded PSAs from the Company’s 2007 LTIP. As of June 30, 2013, there were 1.5 million PSAs outstanding. Approximately 1.1 million of these PSAs will vest only if Covisint does not complete an IPO or a change in control transaction by August 25, 2015 and the Covisint business meets a pre-defined revenue target for any four consecutive calendar quarters ending prior to August 26, 2015 or upon a change in control of Compuware. The remaining PSAs will vest only if Covisint completes an IPO or change in control by August 25, 2015.

As of June 30, 2013, unrecognized compensation cost related to Covisint options totaled approximately $24.7 million. This expense will become recognizable upon an IPO or change in control of Covisint, with a cumulative catch-up in the period in which the IPO occurs. It is expected that approximately 70 percent of this expense will be incurred in the fiscal year in which an IPO or change in control of Covisint occurs. If an IPO or change of control occurs prior to August 26, 2015, the PSAs granted to employees with Covisint stock options will be cancelled. As a result, expense will be recognized for the Covisint stock options, but all prior expense taken for the PSAs for employees with Covisint stock options will be reversed.

Note 9 - Debt

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “credit facility”) with Comerica Bank and other lenders. The credit facility, as amended, provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $300 million and expires on March 21, 2017. The credit facility also permits the Company to increase the revolving line of credit by an additional $200 million subject to receiving further commitments from lenders and certain other conditions.

As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company’s debt balance under its credit facility was $15.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively, and was classified as long term.

The credit facility contains various covenant requirements, including limitations on liens; indebtedness; mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; asset sales; dividends; investments, loans and advances from the Company; transactions with affiliates; and limits additional borrowing outside of the facility to $250 million. The credit facility is also subject to maximum total debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage financial covenants. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain at least a 0.25 to 1.0 cushion below its consolidated total leverage ratio maximum of 2.5 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis in the case of any stock repurchases, acquisitions or dividends in excess of $50 million in any fiscal year. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the credit facility at June 30, 2013.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the base rate (the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus one percent, or the daily LIBOR rate plus one percent) or the Eurodollar rate, at the Company’s option, plus the applicable margin (which is based on the level of maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio). For the three months ended June 30, 2013, interest rates on outstanding borrowings were at a weighted average rate of 2.2%. The Company pays a quarterly fee on the credit facility based on the applicable margin grid. Interest and fees related to the credit facility were $229,000 and $482,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Table of Contents

Cash paid for interest during the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 was $266,000 and $512,000, respectively.

Note 10 – Restructuring Charges

In February 2013, the Company approved the initial phase of a restructuring plan designed to achieve cost savings, which involves reductions in our global workforce of approximately 210 employees (less than 5% of our total workforce), including employees across all operating and administrative divisions, and the early termination of certain operating leases and the closing or reduction in size of 20 office facilities worldwide.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $5.1 million for costs associated with these reductions, primarily related to severance costs for 67 terminated employees. The Company anticipates that approximately $4.3 million in additional employee termination charges and $4.0 million in lease abandonment costs will be taken during the remainder of fiscal 2014 for the initial phase of the restructuring plan, and it is expected that the activities in the initial phase will be completed before December 31, 2013.

The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual as of March 31, 2013 and changes to the accrual during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (in thousands):

	Employee Termination Benefits			Lease Abandonment Costs			Other			Total Restructuring Activity
Accrual at March 31, 2013	$	4,670		$	2,717		$	80		$	7,467

Employee termination benefits	$	1,040	$	384	$	36	$	189	$	84	$	95	$	3,282	$	5,110

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2013, $4.4 million of the restructuring accrual was recorded in current “accrued expenses” with the remaining balance of $1.1 million recorded in long-term “accrued expenses” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The accruals for employee termination benefits at June 30, 2013 primarily represent the amounts to be paid to employees that have been terminated as a result of initiatives described above.

The accruals for lease abandonment costs at June 30, 2013 represent the expected payments related to leases that have been terminated before the end of the contractual term. For terminated operating leases, the accrual includes the remaining fair value of lease obligations for exited and demised locations, as determined at the cease-use dates of those facilities, net of estimated sublease income that could be reasonably obtained in the future, and will be paid out over the remaining lease terms, the last of which ends in fiscal 2015. Projected sublease income is based on management’s estimates, which are subject to change.

Note 11 – Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to its business. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Based on information currently known, the Company does not believe these will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Compuware Corporation

Detroit, Michigan

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Compuware Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Compuware Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 29, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) is intended to provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, cash flow, liquidity and results of operations. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in item 8 of this report and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, particularly “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. References to years are to fiscal years ended March 31 unless otherwise specified.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on revenue growth and contribution margin which represents operating profit before certain charges such as internal information system support, finance, human resources, legal, administration and other corporate charges. Following the segment discussion, we then provide a separate discussion of the material period-to-period changes in our operating expenses, other income and income taxes as reflected on our statements of comprehensive income.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. When we use words such as “may”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “continue”, “predict”, “forecast”, “projected”, “intend” or similar expressions, or make statements regarding our future plans, objectives or expectations, we are making forward-looking statements. Numerous important factors, risks and uncertainties affect our operating results and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results implied by these or any other forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf.

The material risks and uncertainties that we believe affect us are summarized below. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this report and the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (see for example Item 1A Risk Factors in our 2013 Form 10-K), as well as other risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of or focused on or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors and those listed below. If any of the following risks actually occur, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could decline significantly, and shareholders could lose all or part of their investment.

There can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations. While we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

Summary of Risk Factors

A substantial portion of our mainframe segment revenue is dependent on our customers’ continued use of International Business Machines Corporation and IBM-compatible products.

Our product revenue is dependent on the acceptance of our pricing structure for our software solutions.

Maintenance revenue could continue to decline.

Our primary source of profitability is from our mainframe segment. As revenues in this segment decline, our profitability will decline unless we are able to significantly increase margins in other operating segments.

If we are not able to grow our APM revenue, we may fail to achieve our forecasted financial results and we may fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors which could cause our stock price to decline.

Changes in the financial services industry could have a negative impact on our revenue and margins.

We may fail to achieve our forecasted financial results due to inaccurate sales forecasts or other unpredictable factors. If we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price could decline substantially.

Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions of shareholders or others.

If we fail to achieve the results we expect from our expense reduction program, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

The market for application services is highly competitive with emerging competitors. As the market matures, competition may increase and could have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

If we are not successful in maintaining our professional services strategy, our revenue and margins may further decline.

Economic uncertainties or slowdowns may reduce demand for our products and services, which may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.

Defects or disruptions in our hosted software or application services networks or interruptions or delays in service would impair the delivery of our on-demand service and could diminish demand for our services and subject us to substantial liability.

Future changes in the U.S. domestic automotive manufacturing business could reduce demand for our professional services and Covisint application services, which may have a material negative effect on our revenues and operating results.

If the fair value of our long-lived assets deteriorated below the carrying value of these assets, recognition of an impairment loss would be required, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results.

Table of Contents

Our software technology may infringe the proprietary rights of others.

Our results could be adversely affected by increased competition, pricing pressures and technological changes within the software products market.

The market for professional services is highly competitive, fragmented and characterized by low barriers to entry.

We must develop or acquire product enhancements and new products to succeed.

Acquisitions may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business or divert the attention of our management and may result in financial results that are different than expected.

We are exposed to exchange rate risks on foreign currencies and to other international risks that may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Current laws may not adequately protect our proprietary rights.

The loss of certain key employees and technical personnel or our inability to hire additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rates, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities, could affect our profitability.

Our stock repurchase plan and future dividend payments may be suspended or terminated at any time, which may result in a decrease in our stock price.

Acts of terrorism, acts of war and other unforeseen events may cause damage or disruption to us or our customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our articles of incorporation, bylaws and rights agreement as well as certain provisions of Michigan law may have an anti-takeover effect.

OVERVIEW

We deliver value to businesses by providing software solutions (both on-premises and SaaS models), professional services and application services that improve the performance of information technology organizations.

Our primary source of profitability and cash flow is the sale of our mainframe productivity tools (“mainframe”) that are used within our customers’ mainframe computing environments for fault diagnosis, file and data management, application performance monitoring and application debugging. We have experienced lower volumes of software license transactions for our mainframe solutions in recent years causing an overall downward trend in our mainframe product revenues which we expect to continue. Changes in our current customer IT computing environments and spending habits have impacted their need for additional mainframe computing capacity. In addition, increased competition and pricing pressures have had a negative impact on our revenues. Customers utilize our products to reduce operating costs, increase programmer productivity and create a smooth transition to the next generation of mainframe environment programmers. We will continue to make strategic enhancements to our mainframe solutions through research and development investments with the goal of meeting customer needs and maintaining a maintenance renewal rate of approximately 90%. The cash flow generated from our mainframe business supports our growth segments.

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

We have identified the APM market as a key source of future revenue growth. Web, mobile and cloud applications and the complex distributed applications delivery chain supporting them have become increasingly critical to a company’s brand awareness, revenue growth and overall market share. Because of this, the market for APM solutions is significant and growing rapidly. APM includes both software licensed for use on the customer’s premises and hosted software delivered through a SaaS model. The SaaS solutions are designed to test and monitor the performance, availability and quality of companies’ web and mobile applications. Services are delivered to customers entirely through on-demand, hosted technology in which a single instance of the software serves multiple customers. The on-premises licensed solutions provide detailed application insight that identifies and helps correct the causes of poor application performance within client workstations, network, server, Java and .NET environments and enable continuous tracking of transactions and provide exact identification of performance problems. We are investing in our APM solutions with the goal of providing solutions that are best-in-class within the APM market. Specifically, our investments include: (1) enhancements to our global hosted services network with specific focus on ease of use, time-to-value and data analytics in mobile and cloud application performance capabilities and in video streaming performance; (2) enhancements to our on-premises solutions that are focused on optimizing application performance and accelerating time to market; and (3) enhancements which combine our on-premises software and SaaS solution into a single platform that provides performance metrics for web, non-web, mobile, streaming and cloud applications in a single solution.

We have also identified the secure collaboration services market, served by our Covisint application services, as a key source of revenue growth. Technology has allowed business communities, organizations and systems to globally connect and share vital information, applications and processes across their internal and extended enterprises. Our Covisint services, which are provided on a platform-as-a-service (“PaaS”) basis to customers primarily in the automotive and U.S. healthcare industries, create an environment that simplifies and secures this collaboration atmosphere. The need for these services is growing across all business segments. Our focus in the manufacturing industry is on enabling automakers to connect, engage and collaborate on mission critical business processes with their suppliers, customers and business partners. Our focus in the healthcare industry is on enabling hospitals, physicians and government entities to share electronic patient health and medical records.

We also continue to enhance our Changepoint and Uniface solutions primarily through research and development expenditures.

Our Changepoint solution provides a single automated solution for professional services organizations to forecast and plan, as well as manage resources, projects and client engagements. In addition, for project-centric organizations, Changepoint provides a cohesive and consolidated view of projects, investments, resources and applications to help manage the entire business portfolio.

Our Uniface solution is mature with over 25 years on the market. Uniface is a rapid application development environment for building, renewing and integrating the latest complex enterprise applications. Our strategy with the Uniface solution is to enhance the product with additional features making it more effective for enterprise applications and to expand the capabilities of the product to other technology applications.

The professional services reporting segment is focused on achieving modest revenue growth and improved margins by delivering high quality solutions and resources to our customers that meet their needs from application development through project management. Our goal is to provide the expertise, best practices and agility needed to meet our customers’ critical technology challenges. Areas of growth that we have identified are cloud and mobile application development, machine to machine and legacy services. Enhancing our competencies in these areas will provide an opportunity to continue growing the segment’s revenue and contribution margin.

Quarterly Update

The following occurred during the first quarter of 2014:

Achieved an increase in total revenue of $1.4 million during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to a $3.5 million increase in application services fees, a $1.4 million increase in software license fees, a $544,000 increase in professional services fees and a $306,000 increase in subscription fees partially offset by a $4.4 million decline in maintenance fees.

Experienced a decline in operating margin to 5.2% during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 7.3% during the first quarter of 2013 due primarily to the decline in the Covisint contribution margin and restructuring charges, offset in part, by an increase in the APM contribution margin (see “Business Segment Analysis” for additional information).

Realized $10.0 million of net income compared to $10.5 million during the first quarter of last year. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock compensation expense, amortization of purchased software and other acquired intangibles, restructuring charges and certain advisory fees, net income increased $3.3 million or 17.5% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. See the “GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation” section below for a complete reconciliation of net income and earnings per share.

Professional services segment revenue increased $1.9 million or 5.5% during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. Contribution margin remained consistent with the prior year (see “Professional Services” for additional information).

Covisint revenue increased $3.5 million or 17.1% from the first quarter of 2013. Contribution margin declined to negative 5.5% in the first quarter of 2014 from positive 12.5% during the first quarter of 2013 as we continue to invest in additional resources to support and grow the business.

Incurred $5.1 million in restructuring costs as we move forward with our plans to eliminate approximately $80 million to $100 million of administrative and general and non-core operational costs over the next two years.

Declared and paid the Company’s first quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share.

In May 2013, Covisint Corporation, currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Compuware, filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a possible initial public offering of up to 20% of its common stock ("Proposed IPO"). The Proposed IPO is intended, among other things, to give Covisint greater flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities and to increase its visibility in the marketplace. The Proposed IPO is expected to commence during fiscal 2014 as market conditions permit and is also subject to completion of the SEC’s review process. Our current plan is to distribute any remaining Covisint shares owned by Compuware directly to Compuware shareholders within 12 months of completing the IPO, subject to approval by our Board of Directors, receipt of consent from the lenders under our revolving credit agreement, applicable regulatory approvals, and certain tax expectations.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company has provided non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock compensation expense; amortization of acquired software and intangible assets; restructuring charges; goodwill impairment charges; advisory fees associated with certain shareholder actions and business transformation; and the related tax impacts of these items. Each of the non-GAAP adjustments is described in more detail below. The table below provides a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

We believe that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides better comparability with our historical financial results and with the results of many of our competitors. In addition, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to review supplemental information used internally by management to evaluate our financial results and operational effectiveness. These non-GAAP measures also represent the means by which we communicate our earnings guidance to investors.

While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not audited, and do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Items such as stock compensation expense; amortization of acquired software and intangible assets; restructuring charges; goodwill impairment charges; advisory fees associated with certain shareholder actions and business transformation; and the related tax impacts of these items that are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on net income. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. We have procedures in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP components in their entirety and to ensure that our performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Management excludes the non-GAAP adjustments on a net-of-tax basis in evaluating our performance. Therefore, we exclude the tax impact of these charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

The following discusses the reconciling items from our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures:

Table of Contents

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Stock compensation expense. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the compensation expenses required to be recorded by GAAP for equity awards to employees and directors. Although this is a normal recurring expense for us, we believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, excluding this expense, because these costs are generally fixed at the time an award is granted, are then expensed over several years and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management in the current period.

Amortization of acquired software and intangible assets. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with the amortization of acquired software and intangible assets. Although this is a normal recurring expense for us, we believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures excluding this expense, because these costs are fixed at the time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management in the current period.

Restructuring charges. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude restructuring charges, and any subsequent changes in estimates, as they relate to our ongoing corporate restructuring activities. We believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures excluding restructuring charges, in order to provide comparability and consistency with historical operating results.

Goodwill impairment charge. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude an impairment charge associated with a decline in the estimated fair value of our professional services business unit. We believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, excluding goodwill impairment charges to provide comparability and consistency with historical operating results.

Advisory fees associated with certain shareholder actions and business transformation. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, in response to an unsolicited, nonbinding offer to purchase the outstanding shares of the Company from a shareholder, the Board of Directors announced its willingness to consider other viable offers. We continue to incur consultant fees to analyze the business, review additional requests for information from other interested parties and to implement business transformation plans. We believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, excluding such costs, in order to provide comparability and consistency with historical operating results.

BUSINESS SEGMENT ANALYSIS

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain business segment operational data. We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on contribution margin which is operating profit before certain charges such as restructuring, internal information system support, finance, human resources, legal, administration and other corporate charges (“unallocated expenses”). Transactions between segments are eliminated. The allocation of income taxes is not evaluated at the segment level. Comparisons are to the comparable period of the prior year. Financial information for our business segments was as follows (in thousands):

Software Segments

Revenue associated with our software solutions consists of software license fees, maintenance fees, subscription fees and professional services fees (software related services).

APM segment revenue increased $2.3 million during the first quarter of 2014 due primarily to an increase in maintenance fees partially offset by a decline in professional services fees. The increase in maintenance fees was related to our growing customer base. Professional services fees declined due to a reduced need for implementation services for our APM products as newer product offerings tend to be easier to implement.

Table of Contents

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Operating expenses decreased during the first quarter of 2014 due to a decline in salary and benefits expense related to headcount reductions associated with our restructuring initiatives and a reduction in advertising expense, partially offset by an increase in expenses related to stock compensation and amortization of capitalized software.

The improvement in contribution margin resulted from the decline in operating expenses and the increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Contribution margin	$	54,083		$	57,044			(5.2	)%

Contribution margin %		73.8	%		71.4	%

Mainframe segment revenue declined $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 due to a reduction in maintenance fees, which was consistent with the overall downward trend in our mainframe product revenues we have experienced throughout the past several years. Changes in our current customers’ IT computing environments and spending habits have reduced their demand for additional mainframe computing capacity. In addition, increased pricing pressures, competition and the effects of foreign exchange rate changes have had a negative impact on our revenues. We intend to continue to make strategic enhancements to our mainframe solutions through research and development investments.

Changepoint segment revenue increased $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to an increase in software license fees. License fees were low in the prior year due to turnover in the sales organization.

Operating expenses increased from the prior year primarily due to a decline in capitalized research and development costs. Capitalized research and development costs fluctuate based on the timing and stage of various development projects.

Software Solutions as a Group

Our Application Performance Management, Mainframe, Changepoint and Uniface segments combined represent our software solutions. Software solutions revenues are presented in the table below (in thousands):

Professional services fees		12,364		13,108		(5.7	)
Total software solutions revenue	$	167,083	$	170,530		(2.0	)%

Software license fees (“license fees”) increased $1.4 million during the first quarter of 2014. The increase can primarily be attributed to the increase in Changepoint license revenue from the first quarter of 2013, and to a lesser extent, the increase in Mainframe license revenue.

During the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, for software license transactions that were required to be recognized ratably, we deferred $3.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of license fees relating to such transactions that closed during the period. We recognized as license fees $6.6 million and $7.9 million of previously deferred license revenue during the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, relating to such transactions that closed and had been deferred prior to the beginning of the period.

Maintenance fees decreased $4.4 million during the first quarter of 2014. Although we continue to experience a high maintenance renewal rate with our current mainframe customers, the decline in mainframe license transactions throughout the past several years is impacting mainframe maintenance revenue as new or growth customers are not entirely replacing the maintenance revenue loss from the non-renewed or reduced capacity mainframe maintenance arrangements. The decline in mainframe maintenance fees was partially offset by an increase in APM maintenance fees.

Subscription fees increased $306,000 during the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to an increase in APM SaaS solution sales.

Professional services fees within our software solutions business segments decreased $744,000 during the first quarter 2014. The decline in professional services fees from the first quarter of 2013 occurred primarily within our APM business unit due to a reduced need for implementation services for our APM products.

These increases were offset, in part, by declines in other customer activity.

Operating expenses increased $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased salary and benefits expense associated with the increase in revenue.

Covisint application services are provided to customers primarily in the automotive and healthcare industries. Application services segment fees increased $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to growth in the customer subscription base.

As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, backlog for the application services segment was approximately $112.5 million and $99.1 million, respectively. Backlog represents contractually committed arrangements that have yet to be recognized.

Operating expenses increased $7.4 million during the first quarter of 2014 due to higher salaries and benefits expense resulting from an increase in headcount during fiscal 2013 to support the expected growth of the business, a reduction in capitalized research and development costs, increased use of subcontractors and an increase in amortization of capitalized research and development costs.

Cost of subscription fees increased $754,000 during the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased amortization of capitalized research and development costs. We continued to invest in research and development throughout 2013 and the first quarter of 2014 which increased the amortizable base.

Cost of Professional Services

Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel-related costs of providing professional services in the professional services segment and for software related services. Costs include billable and technical staff and subcontractors as well as sales personnel both for our professional services segment and our software related services.

Cost of professional services is presented in the table below (in thousands):

Cost of application services expensed	$	24,261		$	17,721			36.9	%

Percentage of application services fees		100.7	%		86.1	%

Cost of application services before capitalized internal software costs increased $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher salaries and benefits expense resulting from an increase in headcount during fiscal 2013 to support the expected growth of the business including additional sales resources, increased use of subcontractors and an increase in amortization of previously capitalized research and development costs.

Capitalization of internally developed software costs decreased $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2014 due to a recent change to the agile delivery methodology for our platform enhancements, which has resulted in significantly shorter development cycles thereby reducing our capitalized costs.

Technology Development and Support

Technology development and support includes, primarily, the costs of programming personnel associated with software technology development and support of our products and our hosted software network less the amount of capitalized internal software costs during the reporting period. Also included are personnel costs associated with developing and maintaining internal systems and hardware/software costs required to support all technology initiatives.

Technology development and support costs expensed as a percentage of software solutions revenue		15.9	%		15.5	%

Technology development and support before capitalized internal software costs declined $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease primarily related to a decline in salaries and benefits expense resulting from headcount reductions associated with our restructuring initiatives.

Technology development and support as a percentage of software solutions revenues increased slightly for the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to the decline in software solutions revenue from the prior year.

The decline in capitalized internal software costs from the prior year relates primarily to the timing of projects that are in the capitalization phase of development. During the first quarter of 2013, several additional product releases within our APM and Changepoint segments were in the capitalization phase of development as compared to the first quarter of 2014, resulting in the decline in capitalization.

Administrative and General

Administrative and general expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the corporate executive, finance, human resources, administrative, legal, communications and investor relations departments. In addition, administrative and general expenses include all facility-related costs, such as rent, building depreciation, maintenance and utilities, associated with our worldwide offices.

Administrative and general costs decreased $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2014 due primarily to a decrease in salaries and benefits expense related to headcount reductions associated with our restructuring initiatives.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

As part of our announced plan to increase shareholder value, we are implementing significant cost reduction actions with the intention to eliminate approximately $80 million to $100 million of administrative and general and non-core operational costs over the next two years. In February 2013, we approved the initial phase of a restructuring plan designed to achieve a portion of these savings, which involves reductions in our global workforce of approximately 210 employees (less than 5% of our total workforce), including employees across all operating and administrative divisions, the early abandonment of certain operating leases and the closing or reduction in size of 20 office facilities worldwide.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income realized from our cash and cash equivalents, interest earned on our financing receivables, our share of the income or loss from our investments in partially owned companies and interest expense primarily associated with our long-term debt.

Other		(56	)		53			(205.7	)
Other income, net	$	202		$	52			288.5	%

The decrease in interest expense is related to interest on reduced borrowings under the line of credit. Borrowings were incurred primarily to fund the share repurchase program during 2013. The average outstanding debt balance during the first quarter of 2014 was $7 million as compared to $32 million during the first quarter of 2013.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and net operating loss and credit carryforwards.

The income tax provision and effective tax rate are presented in the table below (in thousands):

Income tax provision	$	1,999		$	6,147			(67.5	)%

Effective tax rate		16.7	%		37.0	%

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 16.7% as compared to 37.0% for the first quarter of 2013. The decline in the effective rate was primarily due to the recording of a benefit related to stock compensation as a result of a change in our expectation regarding the tax deductibility of compensation for a certain officer during the first quarter of 2014. The tax deductibility of this officer’s compensation is no longer subject to the tax deduction threshold for officer compensation. Accordingly, a deferred tax asset was recorded related to the stock compensation that was previously expected to be disallowed for tax purposes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at June 30, 2013. However, future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial statements, because their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of that report. There have been no material changes to that information since the end of 2013.

We evaluated our goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis at March 31, 2013, and our professional services reporting unit failed Step 1 of our goodwill impairment analysis. After performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, we determined that it was necessary to record a $71.8 million impairment to the goodwill associated with our professional services division, reducing the goodwill balance to the calculated implied fair value.

We continue to monitor the risk of additional goodwill impairment for the professional services reporting unit, which has a goodwill balance of $42.8 million at June 30, 2013. We believe we can maintain or grow our professional services revenue and margin. However, if our professional services revenues or margin continue to decline, we could be required to further reduce the value of goodwill associated with the professional services reporting unit. During the first quarter of 2014, professional services contribution margin declined slightly to 17.2% from 17.5% during the first quarter of 2013. However, professional services segment revenue increased $1.9 million from the first quarter of 2013 and the margin was higher than the margin for the 2013 full year of 14.2% before goodwill impairment. (See “GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation”.) There has been no triggering event since March 31, 2013.

Application of the goodwill and other intangibles impairment test requires judgment, including the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow model in combination with a market approach. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, estimation of market interest rates, determination of our weighted average cost of capital and selection and application of peer groups.

The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year are based on operating results, market conditions and estimated future cash flows. While we believe that the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair values of each of our reporting units are reasonable, a change in assumptions underlying these estimates could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

Table of Contents

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The fair value of the professional services reporting unit was estimated at March 31, 2013, primarily using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions used in the model that have the most significant effect are our estimated growth rates and estimated weighted average cost of capital.

The events and circumstances that could affect our key assumptions for the professional services reporting unit and the analysis of fair value include the following:

Our ability to achieve sales productivity at a level to achieve the profitability in the forecast period.

Failure of our billable staff to meet their utilization or rate targets.

Our ability to hire and retain sales, technology and management personnel.

Future negative changes in the U.S. economy.

Increased competition and pricing pressures within the professional services market.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $81.3 million, compared to $89.9 million at March 31, 2013.

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2014 was $28.7 million, which represents a $10.5 million increase from the first three months of 2013. The increase was primarily due to a decline in cash paid to employees due to lower company-wide bonus attainment for fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012. Bonuses related to the previous fiscal year are paid during the first fiscal quarter of each year.

The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows compute net cash from operating activities using the indirect cash flow method. Therefore non-cash adjustments and net changes in assets and liabilities (net of effects from currency fluctuations) are adjusted from net income to derive net cash from operating activities.

Changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue have typically represented the most significant adjustments to net income to arrive at operating cash flow as we allow for deferred payment terms on multi-year products contracts. The impact of the net increase in accounts receivable as compared to the prior year was $23.9 million and was primarily related to a large receivable recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 that was collected during the first quarter of 2013. The impact of the net increase in deferred revenue was $26.1 million and was primarily related to an increase in multiyear maintenance contracts recorded during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

We believe our existing cash resources, including our line of credit and its expansion provision, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including the additional liquidity needed to fund the anticipated restructuring, business transformation and quarterly dividends.

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2014 was $7.7 million, which represents a $4.0 million decrease in cash used as compared to the first three months of 2013 due primarily to a decrease in purchases of capitalized software and property and equipment of $3.7 million.

We will continue to evaluate business acquisition opportunities that fit our strategic plans. If the cash consideration for a future acquisition or combination of acquisitions were to exceed our operating cash balance resources, we would probably further utilize our credit facility and may need to seek additional financing.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2014 was $27.2 million, which represents an $8.0 million increase in cash used as compared to the first three months of 2013.

The increase in cash used was primarily due to a $26.7 million increase in dividends paid as we declared and paid our first quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share during the first quarter of 2014. The increase was partially offset by a decline in share repurchases of $9.1 million, an increase in net proceeds from the exercise of stock awards of $4.6 million and a net decrease of $5.5 million in payments on borrowings.

Since May 2003, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase a total of $1.7 billion of our common stock under a discretionary stock repurchase plan (“Discretionary Plan”). Purchases of common stock under the Discretionary Plan may occur on the open market, or through negotiated or block transactions based upon market and business conditions, subject to applicable legal limitations.

As of June 30, 2013, approximately $140 million remains authorized for future purchases under the Discretionary Plan. The authorization will remain in effect until exhausted absent further action of the Board.

In December 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase program that was implemented during the third quarter of 2013 through which we repurchased shares pursuant to a predetermined formula during our quarterly trading black-out periods. This plan utilized funds under the previous Discretionary Plan authorization described above and expired in May 2013.

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “credit facility”) with Comerica Bank and other lenders to provide leverage for the Company if needed. Refer to note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the credit facility. The timing for ultimate repayment of the amount currently outstanding will depend on operating cash flows, share repurchases and dividend payments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed primarily to market risks associated with movements in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. There have been no material changes to our foreign exchange risk management strategy or our investment standards subsequent to March 31, 2013. Therefore, the market risks remain substantially unchanged since we filed the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending March 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure material information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been detected.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, to cause information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

Our purchases of common stock may occur on the open market or in negotiated or block transactions based upon market and business conditions. Unless terminated earlier or extended by resolution of our Board of Directors, the Discretionary Plan will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase thereunder. The maximum amount of repurchase activity under the Discretionary Plan continues to be limited on a daily basis to 25% of the average trading volume of our common stock for the previous four week period. In addition, no purchases are made during our self-imposed trading black-out periods in which the Company and our insiders are prohibited from trading in our common shares. Our standard quarterly black-out period commences 10 business days prior to the end of each quarter and terminates one full market day following the public release of our operating results for the period. We reserve the right to change the timing and volume of our repurchases at any time without notice. For further details regarding the Discretionary Plan, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

In December 2012, the Board of Directors adopted a plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to repurchase our common stock. A broker selected by us had the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase shares on our behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan without further direction from us. This repurchase program allowed us to repurchase shares pursuant to a predetermined formula without regard to the quarterly black-out periods. This plan utilized funds under the previous authorization described above and expired in May 2013.
