PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

CA, Inc.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 11, 2012, 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, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of CA, Inc. (Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (2012 Form 10-K).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

Divestitures: In June 2011, the Company sold its Internet Security business. The results of operations for this business and the related gain on disposal have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. See Note B, “Divestitures,” for additional information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with approximately 64% being held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries outside the United States at December 31, 2012.

Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;


•	Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and


•	Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

See Note I, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information.

Deferred Revenue (Billed or Collected): The Company accounts for unearned revenue on billed amounts due from customers on a gross basis. Unearned revenue on billed installments (collected or uncollected) is reported as deferred revenue in the liability section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue (billed or collected) excludes unbilled contractual commitments executed under license and maintenance agreements that will be billed in future periods. See Note G, “Deferred Revenue,” for additional information.

Statements of Cash Flows: For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, interest payments, net for both periods were approximately $56 million and income taxes paid were approximately $190 million and $252 million, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the excess tax benefits from options exercised included in financing activities from continuing operations were approximately $6 million and $3 million, respectively.

Non-cash investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 consisted of assets acquired under capital leases of $9 million and the purchase of a software license for $20 million, which will be paid during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Non-cash financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 consisted of treasury shares issued in connection with the following: share-based incentive awards granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans of approximately $63 million (net of approximately $34 million of taxes withheld) and $54 million (net of approximately $26 million of taxes withheld), respectively; and discretionary stock contributions to the CA, Inc. Savings Harvest Plan of approximately $29 million and $13 million, respectively.

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company uses a notional pooling arrangement with an international bank to help manage global liquidity requirements. Under this pooling arrangement, the Company and its participating subsidiaries may maintain either cash deposit or borrowing positions through local currency accounts with the bank, so long as the aggregate position of the global pool is a notionally calculated net cash deposit. Because the bank maintains a security interest in the cash deposits, and has the right to offset the cash deposits against the borrowings, the bank provides the Company and its participating subsidiaries favorable interest terms on both. The activity under this cash pooling arrangement for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was as follows:



(in millions)
Total borrowing position outstanding at March 31, 2012 ⁽¹⁾	$	139
Borrowings	791
Repayments	(787		)
Foreign currency exchange effect	(3		)
Total borrowing position outstanding at December 31, 2012 ⁽¹⁾	$	140


(1)	Included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, borrowings and repayments related to the notional pooling arrangement were approximately $240 million and $112 million, respectively, and are presented within the financing activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Other Matters: As part of the Company’s efforts to more fully utilize its intellectual property assets, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company closed a transaction that assigned the rights to certain of these assets to a large technology company for $35 million. The entire contract amount is included in the “Other (gains) expenses, net” line of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The Company will continue to have the ability to use these intellectual property assets in current and future product offerings.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted: In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), requiring an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 by including the required disclosures in two separate but consecutive statements.

NOTE B – DIVESTITURES

In June 2011, the Company sold its Internet Security business for approximately $14 million and recognized a gain on disposal of approximately $23 million, including tax expense of approximately $18 million.

The income from discontinued components for the sale of the Company’s Internet Security business, which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, consisted of the following:



	Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011
	(in millions)
Subscription and maintenance revenue	$	15
Total revenue	$	15
Loss from operations of discontinued components, net of tax benefit of $6 million	$	(10	)
Gain on disposal of discontinued components, net of taxes	23

Fiscal year 2012 workforce reduction plan: The fiscal year 2012 workforce reduction plan (Fiscal 2012 Plan) was announced in July 2011 and consisted of a workforce reduction of approximately 400 positions.

The total amounts incurred for severance and facilities abandonment under the Fiscal 2010 Plan were $43 million and $2 million, respectively.

Actions under the Fiscal 2007 Plan were substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2010.

The Company evaluates the useful lives and recoverability of capitalized software and other intangible assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. These evaluations require complex assumptions about key factors such as future customer demand, technology trends, and the impact of such factors on the technology the Company acquires and develops for its products.

As of December 31, 2012, no impairment exists and no revisions to useful lives are necessary within our Enterprise Solutions segment. Impairment or revisions to useful lives could result from the use of alternative assumptions that reflect reasonably possible outcomes related to future customer demand or technology trends for certain assets in the Enterprise Solutions segment whose carrying amount is approximately $75 million.

At both December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the goodwill balance was $5,856 million.

NOTE G – DEFERRED REVENUE

The current and noncurrent components of “Deferred revenue (billed or collected)” at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were as follows:

NOTE H – DERIVATIVES

The Company is exposed to financial market risks arising from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Changes in interest rates could affect the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, and foreign exchange rate changes could affect the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and forecasted transactions. The Company enters into derivative contracts with the intent of mitigating a portion of these risks.

Interest Rate Swaps: The Company has interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $500 million, which swap a total of $500 million of its 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014 into floating interest rate debt through December 1, 2014. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges.

Table of Contents

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2012, the fair value of these derivatives was an asset of approximately $22 million, of which approximately $12 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $10 million is included in “Other noncurrent assets, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At March 31, 2012, the fair value of these derivatives was an asset of approximately $27 million, of which approximately $11 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $16 million is included in “Other noncurrent assets, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Foreign Currency Contracts: The Company enters into foreign currency option and forward contracts to manage foreign currency risks. The Company has not designated its foreign exchange derivatives as hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value from these contracts are recorded as “Other (gains) expenses, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At December 31, 2012, foreign currency contracts outstanding consisted of purchase and sales contracts with a total notional value of approximately $740 million, which includes hedges on U.S. dollar investments held by a non-U.S. subsidiary outside of that subsidiary’s functional currency, and durations of less than three months. The net fair value of these contracts at December 31, 2012 was a net liability of less than $1 million, of which approximately $4 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $4 million is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At March 31, 2012, foreign currency contracts outstanding consisted of purchase and sales contracts with a total notional value of approximately $893 million and durations of less than six months. The net fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2012 was a net liability of approximately $2 million, of which approximately $2 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $4 million is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

A summary of the effect of the interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:



	Amount of Net (Gain)/Loss Recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions)
	Three Months Ended December 31, 2012			Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
Interest expense, net – interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges	$	(3	)	$	(3	)

The Company is subject to collateral security arrangements with most of its major counterparties. These arrangements require the Company or the counterparty to post collateral when the derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds. The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments under these collateralized arrangements were in a net asset position at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012. The Company posted no collateral at December 31, 2012 or March 31, 2012. Under these agreements, if the Company’s credit ratings had been downgraded one rating level, the Company would still not have been required to post collateral.

(2)	At March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $1,324 million and $50 million of investments in money market funds classified as “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other noncurrent assets, net” for restricted cash amounts, respectively, in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.


(3)	See Note H, “Derivatives” for additional information. Interest rate derivatives fair value excludes accrued interest.

At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The carrying values of financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012:



	At December 31, 2012				At March 31, 2012

(1)	Estimated fair value of total debt is based on quoted prices for similar liabilities for which significant inputs are observable except for certain long-term lease obligations, for which fair value approximates carrying value (Level 2).

(2)

Estimated fair value for the facilities abandonment reserve is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the facilities abandonment reserve included approximately $8 million and $16 million, respectively, in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and approximately $18 million and $26 million, respectively, in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Level 3).

NOTE J– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, various subsidiaries, and certain current and former officers have been or, from time to time, may be named as defendants in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company also addresses contract issues and disputes with customers, including government customers. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with these lawsuits, claims and disputes, and intends to vigorously contest each of them.

Based on the Company’s experience, management believes that the damages amounts claimed in a case are not a meaningful indicator of the potential liability. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of cases.

In the opinion of the Company’s management based upon information currently available to the Company, while the outcome of these lawsuits and claims is uncertain, the likely results of these lawsuits and claims against the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although the effect could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any interim reporting period. For some of these matters, the Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss due to the stage of the matter and/or other particular circumstances of the matter. For others, a range of reasonably possible loss can be estimated. For those matters for which such a range can be estimated, the Company estimates that, in the aggregate, the range of reasonably possible loss is from zero to $30 million. This is in addition to amounts, if any, that have been accrued for those matters.

The Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors under certain circumstances to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. As a part of that obligation, the Company has advanced and will continue to advance certain attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by current and former officers and directors in various lawsuits and investigations.

NOTE K – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchases: In January 2012, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) agreement with a bank to repurchase $500 million of its common stock. Under the agreement, the Company paid $500 million to the bank for an initial delivery of approximately 15 million shares in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. The fair market value of the initially delivered shares on the date of purchase was approximately $375 million and was included in “Treasury stock” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2012. The remaining $125 million was included in “Additional paid-in capital” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2012.

The ASR transaction was completed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, with the Company receiving approximately 3.7 million additional shares, at which time the initial amount recorded as additional paid-in capital was reclassified to treasury stock. The final number of shares delivered upon settlement of the agreement was determined based on the average price of the Company’s common stock over the term of the ASR agreement.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, excluding the ASR transaction, the Company repurchased approximately 17 million shares of its common stock for approximately $421 million. At December 31, 2012, the Company remained authorized to purchase approximately $579 million of its common stock under its current stock repurchase program.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss: Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 was approximately $119 million and $108 million, respectively, due to foreign currency translation losses.

Rights Plan: On November 8, 2012, the Company adopted a new Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement (the Rights Agreement) to replace its prior Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement that expired on November 30, 2012. Under the Rights Agreement, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock carries a right (Right). The Rights will trade with the common stock until the Separation Time, which would occur on the next business day after: (i) the Company's announcement that a person or group (an Acquiring Person) has become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock (other than Martin Haefner and Eva Maria Bucher-Haefner and their respective affiliates and associates, who are “grandfathered” under this provision so long as their aggregate ownership of common stock does not exceed the sum of 126,562,500 shares of common stock and that number of shares equal to 0.1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock); (ii) the date on which any Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock; or (iii) the 10th business day after the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer (or such later date as the Company's Board of Directors may from time to time determine prior to the Separation Time) that would result in an Acquiring Person owning 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock. Following the Separation Time, each Right may be exercised to purchase 0.001 shares of the Company's participating preferred stock at a purchase price of $100 per share. If the Separation Time occurs pursuant to an event described in (i) or (ii) above, however, each Right, other than rights held by an Acquiring Person, will entitle the holder to receive, for an exercise price of $100, that number of shares of the Company's common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities) having an aggregate Market Price (as determined under the Rights Agreement) equal to two times the exercise price. The Rights will not be triggered by a Qualifying Offer, as defined in the Rights Agreement, if holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock request pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement that a special meeting of stockholders be convened for the purpose of exempting such offer from the Rights Agreement, and thereafter the stockholders vote at that meeting to exempt that Qualifying Offer from the Rights Agreement. The Rights, which are redeemable by the Company at $0.001 per Right, expire November 30, 2015.

NOTE L – INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares at the balance sheet date, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, approximately 4 million and 6 million shares of Company common stock underlying restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation because their effect on income per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods. Weighted average restricted stock awards of approximately 5 million and 6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were considered participating securities in the calculation of net income allocable to common stockholders.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, approximately 4 million and 6 million restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation because their effect on income per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods. Weighted average restricted stock awards of approximately 6 million and 6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were considered participating securities in the calculation of net income allocable to common stockholders.

There were no capitalized share-based compensation costs for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Under the Company’s long-term incentive plans, the value of performance share unit (PSU) awards is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the quarter until the PSUs are granted. Compensation costs for the PSUs are amortized over the requisite service periods based on the expected level of achievement of the performance targets. At the conclusion of the performance periods for the PSUs, the applicable number of shares of restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs) or unrestricted shares granted may vary based upon the level of achievement of the performance targets and the approval of the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee (which may reduce any award for any reason in its discretion).

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued options for 0.7 million shares and 0.6 million shares, respectively. The weighted average fair values and assumptions used for the options granted were as follows:



	Nine Months Ended December 31,

Risk-free interest rate ⁽²⁾	0.8	%	1.7	%
Expected life (in years) ⁽³⁾	4.5		4.5


(1)	Expected volatility is measured using historical daily price changes of the Company’s stock over the respective expected term of the options and the implied volatility derived from the market prices of the Company’s traded options.


(2)	The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.


(3)	The expected life is the number of years the Company estimates, based primarily on historical experience, that options will be outstanding prior to exercise. The Company’s computation of expected life was determined based on the simplified method (the average of the vesting period and option term).

The table below summarizes all of the RSUs and RSAs, including grants made pursuant to the long-term incentive plans discussed above, granted during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

(2)	The fair value is based on the quoted market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock prior to vesting of the RSUs, which is calculated using a risk-free interest rate.


(3)	The fair value is based on the quoted market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Company maintains the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) for all eligible employees. The ESPP offer period is semi-annual and allows participants to purchase the Company’s common stock at 95% of the closing price of the stock on the last day of the offer period. The ESPP is non-compensatory. For the six-month offer period ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued approximately 0.1 million shares under the ESPP at an average price of $25.74 per share. For the six-month offer period ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued approximately 0.2 million shares under the ESPP at an average price of $20.88 per share. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 29.7 million shares are available for future issuances under the ESPP.

NOTE N – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $107 million and $342 million, respectively, compared with the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 of $141 million and $337 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a net tax expense of approximately $10 million and a net tax benefit of approximately $8 million, respectively, resulting primarily from international tax rate changes and the recognition of tax benefits related to an investment in a foreign subsidiary.

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company reclassified approximately $150 million of deferred tax assets from non-current to current due to a change in tax accounting method reflected in the Company's federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. This accounting change does not affect the income tax expense.

In April 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 and issued a report of its findings in connection with the examination. The Company disagrees with certain proposed adjustments in the report and is vigorously disputing these matters through the IRS appellate process. The IRS is also examining the Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

While it is difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, the Company believes that its financial statements reflect the probable outcome of uncertain tax positions. The Company may adjust these uncertain tax positions, as well as any related interest or penalties, in light of changing facts and circumstances, including the settlement of income tax audits and the expirations of statutes of limitation. To the extent a settlement differs from the amounts previously reserved, that difference generally would be recognized as a component of income tax expense in the period of resolution. Although the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that settlements, payments and new information in the next 12 months related to certain federal, foreign and state tax issues may result in changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions, including issues involving taxation of international operations, certain state tax issues and other matters. The Company believes that such reasonably possible changes within the next 12 months may reduce the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, net of the effects of refunds and other affirmative claims, by an amount up to $200 million.

The Company’s effective income tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 32.6% and 32.4%, respectively. Legislative changes in tax laws, the outcome of tax audits and any other changes in potential tax liabilities may result in additional tax expense or benefit in fiscal year 2013, which are not considered in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. While the Company does not currently view any such items as individually material to the results of the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, the impact of certain items may yield additional tax expense or benefit in the remaining quarter of fiscal year 2013 and the Company is anticipating a fiscal year 2013 effective tax rate of approximately 30% to 31%.

A measure of segment assets is not currently provided to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and has therefore not been disclosed.

As part of the Company’s efforts to more fully utilize its intellectual property assets, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company closed a transaction that assigned the rights to certain of these assets to a large technology company for $35 million. The entire contract amount is included in the Enterprise Solutions segment for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The Company will continue to have the ability to use these intellectual property assets in current and future product offerings.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company incurred severance costs of which $5 million, $11 million and $2 million were assigned to the Mainframe Solutions, Enterprise Solutions and Services segments, respectively.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2012, the Company incurred severance costs associated with the Fiscal 2012 Plan, of which $23 million, $20 million and $1 million were assigned to the Mainframe Solutions, Enterprise Solutions and Services segments, respectively. Refer to Note C, “Severance and Exit Costs.”

Item 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statement

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q) contains certain forward-looking information relating to CA, Inc. (which we refer to as the “Company,” “Registrant,” “CA Technologies,” “CA,” “we,” “our” or “us”), that is based on the beliefs of, and assumptions made by, our management as well as information currently available to management. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “targets” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. Forward-looking information includes, for example, the statements made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), but also appears in other parts of this Form 10-Q. This forward-looking information reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.

The declaration and payment of future dividends is subject to the determination of the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, after considering various factors, including the Company’s financial condition, historical and forecast operating results, and available cash flow, as well as any applicable laws and contractual covenants and any other relevant factors. The Company’s practice regarding payment of dividends may be modified at any time and from time to time.

Repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program are expected to be made with cash on hand and may be made from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, in the open market, through solicited or unsolicited privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The program, which is authorized through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.

A number of important factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements, including: the ability to achieve success in the Company’s strategy by, among other things, effectively rebalancing the Company’s sales force to increase penetration in growth markets and with large enterprises that have not historically been significant customers, enabling the sales force to sell new products, improving the Company’s brand in the marketplace and ensuring the Company’s set of cloud computing, Software-as-a-Service and other new offerings address the needs of a rapidly changing market, while not adversely affecting the demand for the Company’s traditional products or its profitability; global economic factors or political events beyond the Company’s control; general economic conditions and credit constraints, or unfavorable economic conditions in a particular region, industry or business sector; the failure to adapt to technological changes and introduce new software products and services in a timely manner; competition in product and service offerings and pricing; the failure to expand partner programs; the ability to retain and attract adequate qualified personnel; the ability to integrate acquired companies and products into existing businesses; the ability to adequately manage and evolve financial reporting and managerial systems and processes; the ability of the Company’s products to remain compatible with ever-changing operating environments; breaches of the Company’s software products and the Company’s and customers’ data centers and IT environments; discovery of errors in the Company’s software and potential product liability claims; the failure to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights and source code; risks associated with sales to government customers; access to software licensed from third parties; risks associated with the use of software from open source code sources; access to third-party code and specifications for the development of code; third-party claims of intellectual property infringement or royalty payments; fluctuations in the number, terms and duration of the Company’s license agreements as well as the timing of orders from customers and channel partners; the failure to renew large license transactions on a satisfactory basis; changes in market conditions or the Company’s credit ratings; fluctuations in foreign currencies; the failure to effectively execute the Company’s workforce reductions; successful outsourcing of various functions to third parties; events or circumstances that would require us to record a goodwill impairment charge; potential tax liabilities; acquisition opportunities that may or may not arise; and other factors described more fully in this Form 10-Q and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Form 10-Q as believed, planned, anticipated, expected, estimated, targeted or similarly expressed in a forward-looking manner. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements. References in this Form 10-Q to fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 are to our fiscal years ending on March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

OVERVIEW

We are the leading independent enterprise information technology (IT) management software and solutions company with expertise across a wide range of IT environments. We develop and deliver software and services that help organizations accelerate, transform and secure their IT infrastructures to deliver flexible IT services. This allows customers to respond faster to business demands for new services, manage the quality of services, increase efficiency and reduce risk. Our products and solutions are designed to operate in a wide range of IT environments – from mainframe and physical to virtual and cloud.

We license our products worldwide. We serve companies across most major industries around the world, including banks, insurance companies, other financial services providers, government agencies, telecommunication providers, manufacturers, technology companies, retailers, educational organizations and health care institutions. These customers typically maintain IT infrastructures across platforms, from physical to virtual and cloud, and from multiple vendors. These environments are complex and critical to our customers’ operations.

As business demands increase and new technologies evolve, demands on IT continue to increase. Organizations expect more from technology and many want to use IT to gain a competitive edge. This means companies are using IT to deliver products to market faster, reach new customers and respond to changes in the competitive environment. To achieve their desired business outcomes and gain business advantages, many organizations are improving the efficiency, mobility and availability of their IT resources and applications by adopting next-generation technologies like virtualization and cloud computing and consuming IT as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). They are also extending their legacy physical environments to virtual and cloud environments. Virtualization lets users run multiple virtual machines on each physical machine. Cloud computing is a shared pool of computing resources that can be accessed, configured and used as needed. With SaaS, customers can obtain software on a subscription, “pay-as-you-go” model.

While these technologies can reduce operating costs tied to physical infrastructure, this evolution in computing is a transformative opportunity that is also making IT environments more complex. Data centers are evolving to include mainframes, physical servers, virtualized servers and private, public and hybrid (a combination of public and private) cloud environments.

We believe it is vital for companies to effectively accelerate, transform and secure all of their various computing environments, while being able to deliver new services quickly based on their business needs. Our core strengths in IT management and security, combined with our investments in innovative technologies, position us to serve a range of customers which we divided into three customer segments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012: (1) approximately 1,000 core large existing enterprise customers with annual revenue in excess of $2 billion (Large Existing Enterprises), which currently account for approximately 80% of our revenue; (2) enterprises with revenue in excess of $2 billion that have not historically been significant customers of ours (Large New Enterprises), a customer segment that we believe includes 4,500 potential new customers but where we intend to initially focus on approximately 1,000 of these customers selected based on our current geographical and vertical strengths; and (3) approximately 7,000 enterprises with revenue between $300 million and $2 billion and in fast growing geographies like Latin America and Asia (Growth Markets). During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we made organizational changes to allow us to focus better on our customer segmentation. Key aspects of these changes include: consolidating all disciplines associated with our Growth Markets initiatives into one general manager, consolidating our business operations into our finance team, enhancing the processes for evaluating sales opportunities by region and customer segment and increasing executive oversight over key transactions. In addition, we introduced new products and solutions during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and we expect to introduce new products and solutions during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 that we believe should create selling opportunities across all customer segments. All these efforts are designed to accelerate new product sales outside of our contract renewal cycle. We believe by targeting these customer segments, we are more than doubling our total addressable market. Our customer segmentation initiative has taken longer than anticipated to gain traction. As part of this initiative, we have also developed a new management process intended to improve the visibility and quality of our pipeline. We believe that these initiatives will benefit our performance in the long-term.

Our broad and deep portfolio of software solutions addresses customer needs across computing platforms. We deliver these solutions on-premises or, for certain products, using SaaS.

During fiscal 2012, we began an effort to more fully realize the value of our intellectual property by strategically licensing and/or assigning selected assets within our portfolio. This effort is intended to better position us in the marketplace and allow us the flexibility to reinvest in improving our overall business.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following is a summary of the analysis of our results contained in our MD&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 5% to $1,195 million compared with $1,263 million in the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in subscription and maintenance revenue and to a lesser extent a decrease in software fees and other revenue. For the third quarter of fiscal 2012, software fees and other revenue included $39 million in revenue under a license agreement we entered into in connection with a litigation settlement (refer to the "Software Fees and Other" section under Results of Operations for additional information), which contributed three percentage points of the decrease in total revenue. There was also an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $12 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Total bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 2% compared with the year-ago period to $1,261 million primarily due to a year-over-year decline in software fees and other bookings, which are recognized as software fees and other revenue. This was partially offset by an increase in professional services bookings. Total new product and mainframe capacity sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 declined by approximately 10% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Within these bookings, mainframe new product sales decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned $39 million license fee received in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Mainframe capacity sales decreased, while enterprise solutions new product sales were consistent with the prior period. We continue to expect the value of our total fiscal 2013 renewals to decline by approximately 10% compared with fiscal 2012. For the third quarter of fiscal 2013, our percentage renewal yield was in the low 90's.

Total expenses before interest and income taxes of $825 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 3% compared with $850 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Total expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily as a result of a decrease in selling and marketing, general and administrative and product development and enhancements expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $18 million in employee severance charges.

Income from continuing operations before interest and income taxes decreased $43 million, or 10%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared with the year-ago period.

Income tax expense decreased $34 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared with the year-ago period as a result of the decrease in income before income taxes and the timing of both favorable and unfavorable discrete items in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Diluted income from continuing operations per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.55, compared with $0.54 in the year-ago period, reflecting an increase in operating income as a result of the decrease in operating expenses and our repurchases of common shares.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2013, our segment performance results were as follows:

Mainframe Solutions revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased $60 million from the year-ago period primarily due to the aforementioned $39 million license fee received in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and a decrease in subscription and maintenance revenue, which is attributable to a decrease in subscription and maintenance bookings due to lower new product and mainframe capacity sales in prior periods. The increase in operating margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily a result of a decrease in selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Enterprise Solutions revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased from the year-ago period due to an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $4 million. Within Enterprise Solutions, there was an increase in revenue from our security and ITKO products, which was mostly offset by a decrease in revenue from our service assurance, automation and data management products. Primarily as a result of the increase in expenses from severance costs, Enterprise Solutions operating margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 declined from 12% to 11% compared with the year-ago period.

Services revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2012 due to a lower amount of billable time on engagements during the quarter. Operating margin for Services decreased to 4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared with 11% in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 as a result the decrease in revenue and an increase in severance costs.

Total revenue backlog of $7,488 million at December 31, 2012 decreased 7% compared with $8,084 million at December 31, 2011. The current portion of revenue backlog of $3,495 million at December 31, 2012 decreased by 2% compared with the balance of $3,576 million at December 31, 2011. Revenue backlog in the quarter was unfavorably affected by the decline of total bookings in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and the increase in the percentage of bookings recognized as software fees and other revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, which is not included in revenue backlog at December 31, 2012. We expect a continued decline in revenue backlog year-over-year through fiscal 2013 prior to an expected increase in our renewals in fiscal 2014. Generally, we believe that a change in the current portion of revenue backlog on a year-over-year basis is an indicator of future subscription and maintenance revenue performance due to the high percentage of our revenue that is recognized from license agreements that are already committed and being recognized ratably.

Table of Contents

Cash provided by continuing operating activities for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $566 million, representing an increase of $170 million compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash collections of $178 million, which includes an increase in single installment payments of $150 million. Due to our performance in the first six months of fiscal 2013, the macro-economic environment in which we believe customers are elongating their sales cycles, and the expectation of delaying the closing of some transactions in our pipeline until later in fiscal 2013 and after fiscal 2013, we currently expect lower billings and collections for fiscal 2013 compared with fiscal 2012. As a result, we expect a year-over-year decrease in cash flows from operations for fiscal 2013 compared with fiscal 2012.

(2)	Refer to the discussion in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A for additional information on expected future cash collections from committed contracts and revenue backlog.

Analyses of our performance indicators shown above and segment performance can be found in the “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this MD&A.

Total Revenue — Total revenue is the amount of revenue recognized during the reporting period from the sale of license, maintenance and professional services agreements. Amounts recognized as subscription and maintenance revenue are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Professional services revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed or recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the related software license. Software fees and other revenue generally represents license fee revenue recognized at the inception of a license agreement (up-front basis) and also includes our SaaS revenue, which is recognized as services are provided.

Total Bookings — Total bookings, or sales, includes the incremental value of all subscription, maintenance and professional services contracts and software fees and other contracts entered into during the reporting period and is generally reflective of the amount of products and services during the period that our customers have agreed to purchase from us. Revenue for bookings attributed to sales of software products for which license fee revenue is recognized on an up-front basis is reflected in “Software fees and other” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As our business strategy has evolved, our management also looks within bookings at total new product and capacity sales, which we define as sales of products or mainframe capacity that are new or in addition to products or mainframe capacity previously contracted for by a customer. The amount of new product and capacity sales for a period, as currently tracked by us, requires estimation by management and has not been historically reported. Within a given period, the amount of new product and capacity sales may not be material to the change in our total bookings or revenue compared with prior periods. New product and capacity sales can be reflected as subscription and maintenance bookings in the period (for which revenue would be recognized ratably over the term of the contract) or in software fees and other bookings (which are recognized as software fees and other revenue in the current period).

Subscription and Maintenance Bookings — Subscription and maintenance bookings is the aggregate incremental amount we expect to collect from our customers over the terms of the underlying subscription and maintenance agreements entered into during a reporting period. These amounts include the sale of products directly by us and may include additional products, services or other fees for which we have not established vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE). Subscription and maintenance bookings also includes indirect sales by distributors and volume partners, value-added resellers and exclusive representatives to end-users, where the contracts incorporate the right for end-users to receive unspecified future software products, and other contracts without these rights entered into in close proximity or contemplation of such agreements. These amounts are expected to be recognized ratably as subscription and maintenance revenue over the applicable term of the agreements. Subscription and maintenance bookings exclude the value associated with certain perpetual licenses, license-only indirect sales, SaaS offerings and professional services arrangements.

The license and maintenance agreements that contribute to subscription and maintenance bookings represent binding payment commitments by customers over periods that range generally from three to five years, although in certain cases customer commitments can be for longer or shorter periods. These current period bookings are often renewals of prior contracts that also had various durations, usually from three to five years. The amount of new subscription and maintenance bookings recorded in a period is affected by the volume, duration and value of contracts renewed during that period. Subscription and maintenance bookings typically increases in each consecutive quarter during a fiscal year, with the first quarter having the least bookings and the fourth quarter having the most bookings. However, subscription and maintenance bookings may not always follow the pattern of increasing in consecutive quarters during a fiscal year, and the quarter-to-quarter differences in subscription and maintenance bookings may vary. Given the varying durations of the contracts being renewed, year-over-year comparisons of bookings are not always indicative of the overall bookings trend.

Table of Contents

Generally, we believe that a change in the current portion of revenue backlog on a year-over-year basis is an indicator of future subscription and maintenance revenue performance due to the high percentage of our revenue that is recognized from license agreements that are already committed and being recognized ratably. Within bookings, we also consider the yield on our renewals. We define “renewal yield” as the percentage of the renewable value of a prior contract (i.e., the maintenance value and, in the case of non-perpetual licenses, the license value) realized in current period bookings. The renewable value of a prior contract is an estimate affected by various factors including contractual renewal terms, price increases and other conditions. We estimate the aggregated yield for a quarter based on a review of material transactions representing a substantial majority of the dollar value of renewals during the current period. There may be no correlation between year-over-year changes in bookings and year-over-year changes in renewal yield, since renewal yield is based on the renewable value of deals of various durations, most of which are longer than one year.

Additionally, period-to-period changes in subscription and maintenance bookings do not necessarily correlate to changes in cash receipts. The contribution to current period revenue from subscription and maintenance bookings from any single license or maintenance agreement is relatively small, since revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable term for these agreements.

Weighted Average Subscription and Maintenance License Agreement Duration in Years — The weighted average subscription and maintenance license agreement duration in years reflects the duration of all subscription and maintenance agreements executed during a period, weighted by the total contract value of each individual agreement. Weighted average subscription and maintenance license agreement duration in years can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of license agreements entered into during a period.
