GENPACT LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data and share count)

  1. Organization

The Company is a global professional services firm that drives digitally-led innovation and runs digitally-enabled intelligent operations for its clients, guided by its experience running thousands of processes for hundreds of Fortune Global 500 clients. The Company has over 93,000 employees serving clients in key industry verticals from more than 30 countries.

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of Genpact Limited, a Bermuda company, and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity but exerts significant influence on the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries that is redeemable outside of the Company’s control for cash or other assets is reflected in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity in the consolidated balance sheets at the redeemable value, which approximates fair value. Redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted to its fair value at each balance sheet date. Any resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding changes to additional paid in capital. The Company’s share of non-controlling interest in subsidiary earnings is reflected in net loss (income) attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of income.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill, revenue recognition, reserves for doubtful receivables, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuations of derivative financial instruments, the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use ( “ROU”) assets, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, other obligations for revenue recognition, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Contingent consideration is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. A liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value as of each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. All assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses, including goodwill, are assigned to reporting units. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses.

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on December 31, based on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. The Company performs an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment of events or circumstances, the Company performs a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment if it determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the quantitative impairment analysis, the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of such goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In addition, the Company performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 10 for information and related disclosures.

Intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets or in a business combination and developed internally are carried at cost less accumulated amortization based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

Customer-related intangible assets 2 - 11 years
Marketing-related intangible assets 2 - 8 years
Technology-related intangible assets 2 - 8 years
Other intangible assets 3 years

10

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized.

In business combinations where the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased exceeds the cost of the acquired business, the Company recognizes the resulting gain under “Other operating (income) expense, net” in the consolidated statements of income.

(d) Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments with corporations and banks with high investment grade ratings, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one corporation or bank and conducts ongoing evaluations of the creditworthiness of the corporations an banks with which it does business. To reduce its credit risk on accounts receivable, the Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its clients. The General Electric Company (“GE”) accounted for 11 % and 16 % of receivables as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively. GE accounted for 9 % of total revenue for each of the nine and three months periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and 14 % of total revenue for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

(e) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced or to be invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and clients’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables’ aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its clients.

( f) Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from business process management including analytics, consulting and related digital solutions and information technology services which are provided primarily on a time-and-material, transaction or fixed-price basis. The Company recognizes revenue when the promised services are delivered to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Revenues from services rendered under time-and-material and transaction-based contracts are recognized as the services are provided. The Company’s fixed-price contracts include contracts for the customization of applications and maintenance and support services. Revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company accrues for revenue and unbilled receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date.

The Company’s customer contracts sometimes also include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered or promised to be delivered to clients or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the client. Revenues relating to such arrangements are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur .

The Company records deferred revenue attributable to certain process transition activities where such activities do not represent separate performance obligations. Revenues relating to such transition activities are classified under contract liabilities and subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Costs relating to such transition activities are fulfillment costs which are directly related to the contract and result in the generation or enhancement of resources. Such costs are expected to be recoverable under the contract and are therefore classified as contract cost assets and recognized ratably over the estimated expected period of benefit under cost of revenue.

11

Revenues are reported net of value-added tax, business tax and applicable discounts and allowances. Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from clients have been included as part of revenues.

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Revenue for performance obligations that are satisfied over time is recognized in accordance with the methods prescribed for measuring progress. The input (cost expended) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.

The Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements in which a client may purchase a combination of products or services. Revenue from multiple-element arrangements is recognized, for each element, based on an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone basis.

Certain contracts may include offerings such as sale of licenses, which may be perpetual or subscription-based. Revenue from distinct perpetual licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the client. Revenue from distinct subscription-based licenses is recognized at the point in time it is transferred to the client. Revenue from any associated maintenance or ongoing support services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For a combined software license/services performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period that the services are performed.

All incremental and direct costs incurred for acquiring contracts, such as certain sales commissions, are classified as contract cost assets. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded under selling, general and administrative expenses.

Other upfront fees paid to clients are classified as contract assets. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and subtracted from revenue.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing. If a payment is received in respect of services prior to the delivery of services, the payment is recognized as an advance from the client and classified as a contract liability. Contract assets and contract liabilities relating to the same client contract are offset against each other and presented on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements.

Significant judgments

The Company often enters into contracts with its clients that include promises to transfer multiple products and services to the client. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately rather than together may require significant judgment.

Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.

Client contracts sometimes include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered to clients or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the client. Such amounts are estimated at contract inception and are adjusted at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

(g) Changes in accounting policies

Except as described below, the Company has applied accounting policies consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), effective January 1, 2019. The Company applied Topic 842 using the modified retrospective adoption approach, which involves recognizing new ROU assets and lease liabilities in its statement of financial position for various operating leases. Therefore, comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC Topic 840.

12

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

As a result of the Company’s adoption of this new standard, all leases are classified as either operating leases or finance leases and are recorded on the balance sheet. The accounting for finance leases (capital leases under ASC 840) is substantially unchanged. The Company has elected the “package of practical expedients,” which allows the Company not to reassess, under the new standard, its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company has also elected the practical expedients to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases and to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12

months or less and do not contain a purchase option (“short-term leases”). As of January 1, 2019, the date of the Company’s initial application of ASC 842, the Company recognized its lease liabilities measured as the present value of lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease as of the date of initial application. The ROU asset for each existing lease as of the date of initial application includes an initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the date of initial application, accrued lease payments and any lease incentives received or any initial direct costs incurred by the Company as of the date of initial application. As a result of adoption of the ASC 842, the Company recognized additional lease liabilities of $ 328,978 , and ROU assets of $ 309,687 .

Leases (effective January 1, 2019)

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term of the contract, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the inception of a lease, the consideration in the contract is allocated to each lease component based on its relative standalone price to determine the lease payments. Leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019 have been accounted for under ASC 840 and were not reassessed.

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of the above criteria.

For all leases at the lease commencement date, a ROU asset and a lease liability are recognized. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at lease commencement. The lease liabilities are subsequently measured on an amortized cost basis. The lease liability is adjusted to reflect interest on the liability and the lease payments made during the period. Interest on the lease liability is determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability.

The ROU asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The ROU asset for each lease initially includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, accrued lease liabilities and any lease incentives received or any initial direct costs incurred by the Company.

The ROU asset of finance leases is subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The ROU asset of operating leases is subsequently measured from the carrying amount of the lease liability at the end of each reporting period and is therefore equal to the carrying amount of lease liabilities adjusted for (1) unamortized initial direct costs, (2) prepaid/(accrued) lease payments and (3) the unamortized balance of lease incentives received.

Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date that do not contain a purchase option are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

13

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Significant judgments

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

Under certain of its leases, the Company has a renewal and termination option to lease assets for additional terms between one and five years . The Company applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. The Company considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal or termination option. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within the Company’s control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew or terminate.

The company has applied an incremental borrowing rate for the purpose of computing lease liabilities based on the rate prevailing in different geographies. Upon the Company’s adoption of ASC 842, the Company applied an incremental borrowing rate to leases existing as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application.

(a) Included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

(b) Included in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.

(c) The Company values its derivative instruments based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot prices for the relevant currencies and interest rate indices for relevant interest rates. The quotes are taken from an independent market database.

(d) The fair value of earn-out consideration, calculated as the present value of expected future payments to be made to the sellers of acquired businesses, was derived by estimating the future financial performance of the acquired businesses using the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and adjusting the result to reflect the Company’s estimate of the likelihood of achievement of such targets. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the valuations are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(e) Deferred compensation plan assets consist of life insurance policies held under a Rabbi Trust. Assets held in the Rabbi Trust are valued based on the cash surrender value of the insurance contract, which is determined based on the fair value of the underlying assets included in the insurance portfolio and are therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(f) The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability is derived based on the fair value of the underlying assets in the insurance portfolio and is therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

  1. Derivative financial instruments

The Company is exposed to the risk of rate fluctuations on its foreign currency assets and liabilities and on foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rates. The Company has established risk management policies, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rate risk. These derivative financial instruments are largely deliverable and non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company enters into these contracts with counterparties that are banks or other financial institutions, and the Company considers the risk of non-performance by such counterparties not to be material. The forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps mature during a period of up to 51 months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same period.

The following table presents the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding derivative financial instruments together with the related balance sheet exposure:

Notional principal amounts (note a) — As of December 31, 2018 As of September 30, 2019 Balance sheet exposure asset (liability) (note b) — As of December 31, 2018 As of September 30, 2019

7. Derivative financial instruments (Continued)

FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with the FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging, the Company designates foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to cover the effects of future exchange rate variability on forecasted revenues and purchases of services, and interest rate swaps are entered into to cover interest rate fluctuation risk. In addition to this program, the Company uses derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges under the FASB guidance in order to hedge foreign exchange risks related to balance sheet items, such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s underlying functional currency.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and their location in the Company’s financial statements are summarized in the table below:

Cash flow hedges — As of December 31, 2018 As of September 30, 2019 Non-designated — As of December 31, 2018 As of September 30, 2019
Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 23,038 $ 20,611 $ 11,490 $ 2,169
Other assets $ 9,571 $ 5,629 $ — $ 3
Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 15,148 $ 8,149 $ 225 $ 965
Other liabilities $ 19,872 $ 21,935 $ — $ 4

Cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain (loss) on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Gains (losses) on the derivatives, representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings as incurred.

In connection with cash flow hedges, the gains (losses) recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), or OCI, and the related tax effects are summarized below:

In August 2018, the Company amended its 2015 credit facility (the “2015 Facility”), which was comprised of an $ 800,000 term loan and a $ 350,000 revolving credit facility. The amended facility is comprised of a $ 680,000 term loan, which represents the outstanding balance under the 2015 Facility as of the date of amendment, and a $ 500,000 revolving credit facility. The amended facility expires on August 8, 2023. The amendment did not result in a substantial modification of $ 550,814 of the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility. Further, as a result of the amendment, the Company extinguished the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility of $ 129,186 and obtained additional funding of $ 129,186 , resulting in no change to the outstanding principal of the term loan under the amended facility. In connection with the amendment, the Company expensed $ 2,029 , representing partial acceleration of the amortization of the existing unamortized debt issuance costs and an additional fee paid to the Company’s lenders related to the term loan. The overall borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility increased from $350,000 to $ 500,000 . The amendment of the revolving credit facility resulted in accelerated amortization of $ 82 relating to existing unamortized debt issuance cost. The remaining unamortized costs and an additional third-party fee paid in connection with the amendment is being amortized over the term of the amended facility, which will expire on August 8, 2023 .

Borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375 % per annum, compared to a margin of 1.50 % under the 2015 facility, or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375 % per annum, compared to a margin of 0.50 % under the 2015 Facility, in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company’s debt ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Based on the Company’s election and current credit rating, the applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 1.375 % per annum. The amended credit agreement contains certain customary covenants, including a maximum leverage covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

The issuance was fully guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the offering, the Company incurred other debt issuance costs of $ 1,161 . The total debt issuance cost of $ 2,642 is being amortized over the life of the notes as additional interest expense. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the amount outstanding under the notes, net of debt amortization expense of $ 1,713 and $ 1,319 , was $ 348,287 and $ 348,681 , respectively, which is payable on April 1, 2022. The Issuer will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, ending on the maturity date of April 1, 2022 . The Company, at its option, may redeem the notes at any time in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to (i) 100 % of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed amount, and (ii) if the notes are redeemed prior to March 1, 2022 , a specified “make-whole” premium. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by liens, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge, convey or transfer their assets, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company and its applicable subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants. Upon certain change of control transactions, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101 % of the aggregate principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Deferred compensation plan

On July 1, 2018, Genpact LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, adopted an executive deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides a select group of U.S.-based members of Company management with the opportunity to defer from 1 % to 80 % of their base salary and from 1 % to 100 % of their qualifying bonus compensation (or such other minimums or maximums as determined by the Plan administrator from time to time) pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Participant deferrals are 100 % vested at all times. The Plan also allows for discretionary supplemental employer contributions by the Company, in its sole discretion, which will be subject to a two-year vesting schedule ( 50 % vesting on the one-year anniversary of approval of the contribution and 50 % vesting on the second year anniversary of approval of the contribution) or such other vesting schedule as determined by the Company.

The Plan also provides an option for participants to elect to receive deferred compensation and earnings thereon on either fixed date(s) no earlier than two years following the applicable Plan year (or end of the applicable performance period for performance-based bonus compensation) or following a separation from service, in each case either in a lump sum or in annual installments over a term of up to 15 years. Each Plan participant’s compensation deferrals are credited or debited with notional investment gains and losses equal to the performance of selected hypothetical investment funds offered under the Plan and elected by the participant.

The Company has investments in funds held in Company-owned life insurance policies which are held in a Rabbi Trust that are classified as trading securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. The securities are classified as trading securities because they are held for resale in anticipation of short-term fluctuations in market prices. The trading securities are stated at fair value.

15. Employee benefit plans (Continued)

The liability for the deferred compensation plan was $ 1,582 and $ 9,642 as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and is included in “other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company has purchased company-owned life insurance policies insuring the lives of certain employees. The cash surrender value of these policies was $ 1,613 and $ 9,906 as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The cash surrender value of these insurance policies is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

The change in the fair value of Plan assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 was $ 13 and $ 729 , respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 was $ 13 and $ 186 , respectively, which is included in “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income. The change in the fair value of deferred compensation liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 was $ 3 and $ 496 , respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 was $ 3 and $ 61 , respectively, which is included in “selling, general and administrative expenses.”

  1. Stock-based compensation

The Company has granted stock-based awards under the Genpact Limited 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 Omnibus Plan”) and the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Plan”) to eligible persons, including employees, directors and certain other persons associated with the Company.

Under the 2007 Omnibus Plan, shares underlying awards forfeited, expired, terminated or cancelled under any of the Company’s predecessor plans were added to the number of shares otherwise available for grant under the 2007 Omnibus Plan. The 2007 Omnibus Plan was amended and restated on April 11, 2012 to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance by 5,593,200 shares to 15,000,000 shares.

On May 9, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Plan”), pursuant to which 15,000,000 Company common shares are available for issuance. The 2017 Omnibus Plan was amended and restated on April 5, 2019 to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance by 8,000,000 shares to 23,000,000 shares. No grants may be made under the 2007 Omnibus Plan after the date of adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan. Grants that were outstanding under the 2007 Omnibus Plan as of the date of Company’s adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan remain subject to the terms of the 2007 Omnibus Plan.

Stock-based compensation costs relating to the foregoing plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 were $ 31,567 and $ 60,525 , respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 were $ 13,224 and $ 21,042 , respectively. These costs have been allocated to cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Options

All options granted under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans are exercisable into common shares of the Company, have a contractual period of ten years and vest over four to five years unless specified otherwise in the applicable award agreement. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the option.

Compensation cost is determined at the date of grant by estimating the fair value of an option using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Weighted average grant date fair value of grants during the period $ 6.98

(a) Options expected to vest reflect the application of an estimated forfeiture rate.

As of September 30, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for options expected to vest amounted to $ 26,518 , which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 3.7 years.

Restricted share units

The Company has granted restricted share units, or RSUs, under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans. Each RSU represents the right to receive one common share. The fair value of each RSU is the market price of one common share of the Company on the date of the grant. The RSUs granted to date have graded vesting schedules of three months to four years . The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. A summary of RSU activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is set out below:

Number of Restricted Share Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding as of January 1, 2019 1,528,999 $ 27.45
Granted 218,965 34.34
Vested (Note a) ( 611,871 ) 26.38
Forfeited ( 65,067 ) 30.51
Outstanding as of September 30, 2019 1,071,026 $ 29.29
Expected to vest (Note b) 983,141

(a) 611,871 RSUs that vested during the period were net settled upon vesting by issuing 505,512 shares (net of minimum statutory tax withholding). In addition, 52,875 RSUs that vested in 2017 were settled during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 by the issuance of 52,405 shares (net of minimum statutory tax withholding).

(b) The number of RSUs expected to vest reflects the application of an estimated forfeiture rate.

33

  1. Stock-based compensation (Continued)

As of September 30, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to $ 18,419 , which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 1.8 years.

Performance units

The Company also grants stock-based awards in the form of performance units, or PUs, and has granted PUs under both the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans.

Each PU represents the right to receive one common share at a future date based on the Company’s performance against specified targets. PUs granted to date have vesting schedules of six months to three years . The fair value of each PU is the market price of one common share of the Company on the date of grant and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. PUs granted under the plans are subject to cliff vesting. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms. During the performance period, the Company’s estimate of the number of shares to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of the performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets.

A summary of PU activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is set out below:

Number of Performance Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Maximum Shares Eligible to Receive
Outstanding as of January 1, 2019 3,712,402 $ 28.40 3,712,402
Granted 1,577,530 34.68 3,155,060

Outstanding as of September 30, 2019 5,092,239 $ 30.33 6,652,830
Expected to vest (Note b) 5,368,588

( a ) Represents an adjustment made in March 2019 to the number of shares subject to the PUs granted in 2018 upon certification of the level of achievement of the performance targets underlying such awards.

( b ) The number of PUs expected to vest reflects the application of an estimated forfeiture rate and the expected achievement of higher-than-target performance for the PUs granted during the year.

As of September 30, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to PUs amounted to $ 66,249 , which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 1.8 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

  1. Earnings per share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB guidance on earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share give effect to the change in the number of Company common shares outstanding. The calculation of basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Potentially dilutive shares, consisting of outstanding options on common shares, restricted share units, performance units and common shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan, have been included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.

The number of stock awards outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive is 2,051,062 and 2,375,425 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively, and 3,222,303 and 60,194 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

  1. Income taxes

The Company determines its tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 21.9 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up from 20.8 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the Company’s ETR is primarily due to the expiration of certain special economic zone benefits in India and changes in the jurisdictional mix of the Company’s income.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits amounting to $ 26,722 , including an amount of $ 25,485 , which, if recognized, would impact the Company’s ETR.

The following table summarizes activities related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

Opening balance at January 1 2019 — $ 26,722
Decrease related to prior year tax positions ( 56 )
Decrease related to prior year tax position due to lapse of applicable statute of limitation ( 217 )
Increase related to current year tax positions, including recorded in acquisition accounting 225
Effect of exchange rate changes ( 163 )
Closing balance at September 30 $ 26,511

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2019 include an amount of $ 25,273 , which, if recognized, would impact the Company’s ETR. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 the Company had accrued approximately $ 5,081 and $ 5,600 , respectively, in interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits. During the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $ 467 and $ 519 , respectively, excluding the impact of exchange rate differences, in interest on unrecognized tax benefits.

27. Commitments and contingencies

Capital commitments

As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company has committed to spend $ 4,859 and $ 8,246 , respectively, under agreements to purchase property, plant and equipment. This amount is net of capital advances paid in respect of these purchases.

Bank guarantees

The Company has outstanding bank guarantees amounting to $ 9,487 and $ 9,609 as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Bank guarantees are generally provided to government agencies and excise and customs authorities for the purpose of maintaining a bonded warehouse. These guarantees may be revoked if the government agencies suffer any losses or damages through the breach of any of the covenants contained in the agreements governing such guarantees.

Other commitments

Certain units of our Indian subsidiaries are established as Software Technology Parks of India units or Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) units under the relevant regulations issued by the Government of India. These units are exempt from customs and other duties on imported and indigenous capital goods, stores and spares. SEZ units are also exempt from the goods and services tax that was introduced in India in 2017. The Company has undertaken to pay taxes and duties, if any, in respect of capital goods, stores, spares and services consumed duty-free, in the event that certain terms and conditions are not fulfilled.

Contingency

In February 2019, there was a judicial pronouncement in India with respect to defined contribution benefit payments interpreting certain statutory defined contribution obligations of employees and employers. It is not currently clear whether the interpretation set out in the pronouncement has retrospective application. If applied retrospectively, the interpretation would result in an increase in contributions payable by the Company for past periods for certain of its India-based employees. There are numerous interpretative challenges concerning the retrospective application of the judgment. Due to such challenges and a lack of interpretive guidance, and based on legal advice the Company has obtained on the matter, it is currently impracticable to reliably estimate the timing and amount of any payments the Company may be required to make. Accordingly, the Company plans to obtain further clarity and will evaluate the amount of a potential provision, if any.

• our ability to attract and retain clients and our ability to develop and maintain client relationships on attractive terms;

• legislation in the United States or elsewhere that adversely affects the performance of business process outsourcing and information technology services offshore;

• increasing competition in our industry;

• telecommunications or technology disruptions or breaches, cyberattacks or natural or other disasters;

Three Months Ended September 30, 201 9 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Net revenues. Our net revenues were $888.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, up $140.8 million, or 18.8%, from $748.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. The growth in our net revenues was driven primarily by an increase in business process outsourcing, or BPO, services delivered both to Global Clients and GE, in particular our transformation services (analytics, consulting and digital), including incremental revenues associated with recent large deals. Adjusted for foreign exchange, primarily the impact of changes in the value of the euro and the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar, our net revenues grew 19% compared to the third quarter of 2018 on a constant currency basis. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure. We provide information about our revenue growth on a constant currency basis so that our revenue may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Total net revenues on a constant currency basis are calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates and are adjusted for hedging gains/(losses).

Our average headcount increased by 15.4% to approximately 92,900 in the third quarter of 2019 from approximately 80,500 in the third quarter of 2018.

Total net revenues $ 748.0 $ 888.8 18.8 %

Net revenues from Global Clients in the third quarter of 2019 were $767.7 million, up $84.2 million, or 12.3%, from $683.5 million in the third quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily driven by growth in several of our verticals, including capital markets, high tech, banking and financial services and consumer goods. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients decreased from 91.4% in the third quarter of 2018 to 86.4% in the third quarter of 2019 due to the significant growth in GE revenues.

Net revenues from GE in the third quarter of 2019 were $121.1 million, up $56.6 million, or 87.7%, from the third quarter of 2018, driven by services delivered in connection with a large new contract signed in the fourth quarter of 2018, as well as an increase in transformation services project engagements in the third quarter of 2019. Net revenues from GE increased as a percentage of our total net revenues from 8.6% in the third quarter of 2018 to 13.6% in the third quarter of 2019.

Net revenues from BPO services in the third quarter of 2019 were $749.3 million, up $126.4 million, or 20.3%, from $622.9 million in the third quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in transformation services, in particular those services associated with large deals signed in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, and growth in several of our verticals, including capital markets, high tech, manufacturing and services, banking and financial services and consumer goods. Net revenues from IT services were $139.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, up $14.4 million, or 11.5%, from $125.0 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Net revenues from BPO services as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 84.3% in the third quarter of 2019 from 83.3% in the third quarter of 2018, with a corresponding decline in the percentage of total net revenues attributable to IT services.

Cost of revenue and gross margin. The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue and the resulting gross margin:

Three Months Ended September 30, — 2018 2019 As a Percentage of Total Net Revenues — 2018 2019
(dollars in millions)
Personnel expenses $ 326.7 $ 422.5 43.7 % 47.5 %
Operational expenses 141.2 129.3 18.9 14.5
Depreciation and amortization 13.5 21.9 1.8 2.5
Cost of revenue $ 481.4 $ 573.7 64.4 % 64.5 %
Gross margin 35.6 % 35.5 %

Cost of revenue was $573.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, up $92.3 million, or 19.2%, from the third quarter of 2018. Increases in our operational headcount, including in the number of onshore personnel, for transformation services delivery and additional headcount from large deals, wage inflation and higher stock-based compensation expense contributed to the increase in cost of revenue, partially offset by lower consultancy charges and improved utilization of transformation services resources in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Our gross margin decreased from 35.6% in the third quarter of 2018 to 35.5% in the third quarter of 2019, driven primarily by lower initial gross margins associated with large new deals and an increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by improved utilization of transformation services resources and improved operating leverage.

Personnel expenses . Personnel expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 43.7% in the third quarter of 2018 to 47.5% in the third quarter of 2019. Personnel expenses in the third quarter of 2019 were $422.5 million, up $95.8 million, or 29.3%, from $326.7 million in the third quarter of 2018. A 15.3% net increase in our operational headcount, including an increase in the number of onshore personnel, particularly related to large new deals and transformation services delivery, the impact of wage inflation and higher stock-based compensation expense resulted in higher personnel expenses in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Operational expenses. Operational expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 18.9% in the third quarter of 2018 to 14.5% in the third quarter of 2019, largely due to improved operational efficiencies and the other factors described below. Operational expenses in the third quarter of 2019 were $129.3 million, down $11.9 million, or 8.5%, from the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower contractor costs and a reduction in communication expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 1.8% in the third quarter of 2018 to 2.5% in the third quarter of 2019. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of cost of revenue were $21.9 million, up $8.4 million, or 62.4%, from the third quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of certain existing facilities, the acquisition of new assets, including technology-related intangible assets capitalized after the third quarter of 2018, and additional finance leases recognized on the adoption of a new lease standard in 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table sets forth the components of our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses:

Three Months Ended September 30, — 2018 2019 As a Percentage of Total Net Revenues — 2018 2019
(dollars in millions)
Personnel expenses $ 125.8 $ 147.0 16.8 % 16.5 %
Operational expenses 39.6 45.0 5.3 5.1
Depreciation and amortization 2.6 2.5 0.4 0.3
Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 168.0 $ 194.5 22.5 % 21.9 %

SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 22.5% in the third quarter of 2018 to 21.9% in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to operating leverage driven by higher revenues. SG&A expenses were $194.5 million, up $26.5 million, or 15.8%, from the third quarter of 2018. This increase in expenses was primarily due to wage

59

inflation , a net increase in our support personnel headcount and higher stock-based compensation and marketing expenses , partially offset by lower infrastructure cost s .

Personnel expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, personnel expenses decreased from 16.8% in the third quarter of 2018 to 16.5% in the third quarter of 2019. This decrease was primarily due to improved operating leverage and expected savings from functional efficiency initiatives. Personnel expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $147.0 million, up $21.2 million, or 16.8%, from the third quarter of 2018. This increase is primarily due to wage inflation, a net increase in our support personnel headcount and higher stock-based compensation expense in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Operational expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, operational expenses decreased from 5.3% in the third quarter of 2018 to 5.1% in the third quarter of 2019. Operational expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $45.0 million, up $5.4 million, or 13.7%, from the third quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily due to higher marketing expenses, consultancy expenses and travel expenses in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Depreciation and amortization. As a percentage of total net revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased from 0.4% in the third quarter of 2018 to 0.3% in the third quarter of 2019. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $2.5 million, down $0.1 million, or 3.3%, from the third quarter of 2018.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-cash charges related to amortization of acquired intangibles were $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, down $2.4 million, or 25.7%, from the third quarter of 2018.

Other operating (income) expense, net. Other operating expense, net of income, was $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to other operating income, net of expense of $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2018. We recorded a gain of $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2018 due to changes in the fair value of earn-out consideration payable in connection with an acquisition. No such changes were recorded in the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, we recorded a $0.7 million non-recurring charge in the third quarter of 2018 relating to a computer software and technology-related intangible asset, discussed in Note 10—“ Goodwill and intangible assets ” under Part I, Item 1—“Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information” above. No such charge was recorded in the third quarter of 2019.

Income from operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 12.6% in the third quarter of 2018 to 12.8% in the third quarter of 2019. Income from operations was $113.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, up $19.6 million from $94.0 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net. We recorded a net foreign exchange gain of $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2018. The gains in the third quarters of 2018 and 2019 resulted primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar during these quarters.

Interest income (expense), net . The following table sets forth the components of interest income (expense), net:

Three Months Ended September 30, Increase/(Decrease)
2018 2019 2019 vs. 2018
(dollars in millions)
Interest income $ 3.3 $ 2.0 (40.9 ) %
Interest expense (12.5 ) (12.2 ) (2.2)
Interest income (expense), net $ (9.1 ) $ (10.2 ) 11.8 %
Interest income (expense), net as a percentage of total net revenues (1.2 ) % (1.1 ) %

Our net interest expense increased by $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 due to a $1.3 million decrease in interest income partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to (i) lower interest expense on the term loan under our LIBOR-linked credit facility in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018, which is discussed in the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition” below, and (ii) additional interest expense resulting from the amendment of our June 2015 credit facility in the third quarter of 2018. No such expense was incurred in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was partially offset by (i) higher drawdown on our revolving credit facility in the third quarter of

60

2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 and (ii) higher interest expense recognized under finance leases (including those recognized under the new accounting pronouncement on leases adopted in 2019) . Our interest income decreased by $ 1.3 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower account balances in India, where we earn higher interest rates on our deposits compared to other jurisdictions where we have deposits. The weighted average rate of interest on our debt, including the net impact of interest rate swaps, decreased from 3. 3 % in the third quarter of 2018 to 3. 2 % in the third quarter of 2019.

Other income (expense), net. The following table sets forth the components of other income (expense), net:

Three months ended September 30, Percentage Change — Increase/(Decrease)
2018 2019 2019 vs 2018
(dollars in millions)
Government incentives $ 5.2 $ - NM* %
Other income/(expense) 0.2 0.7 204.7
Other income (expense), net $ 5.4 $ 0.7 (86.9 ) %
Other income (expense), net as a percentage of total net revenues 0.7 % 0.1 %

*Not Measurable

Our net other income was $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, down $4.7 million from net other income of $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. This decrease is primarily due to the fact that we recorded no income in the third quarter of 2019 in connection with an export subsidy in comparison to $5.2 million recorded in connection with an export subsidy in the third quarter of 2018. This subsidy was introduced under the Foreign Trade Policy of India to encourage the export of specified services from India and was available for eligible export services until March 31, 2019.

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense was $22.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, down from $24.1 million in the third quarter of 2018, representing an effective tax rate, or ETR, of 20.5%, down from 24.7% in the third quarter of 2018. The reduction in ETR is primarily due to the recording of a non-recurring expense related to U.S. tax reform in the third quarter of 2018 and certain discrete tax benefits recorded in the third quarter of 2019, partially offset by changes in the jurisdictional mix of our income.

Net income attributable to Genpact Limited shareholders . As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to our common shareholders as a percentage of total net revenues was 9.9% in the third quarter of 2019, up from 9.8% in the third quarter of 2018. Net income attributable to our common shareholders increased by $14.5 million, from $73.6 million in the third quarter of 2018 to $88.1 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Compared to th e Nine months ended September 30, 2018

Net revenues. Our net revenues were $2,579.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $414.4 million, or 19.1%, from $2,165.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The growth in our net revenues was driven primarily by an increase in BPO services delivered to our Global Clients and GE, in particular transformation services, and incremental revenues from recent large deals. Adjusted for foreign exchange, primarily the impact of changes in the value of the euro and the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar, our net revenues grew 20.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 on a constant currency basis. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure. We provide information about our revenue growth on a constant currency basis so that our revenue may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Total net revenues on a constant currency basis are calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates and are adjusted for hedging gains/(losses).

Our average headcount increased by 14.3% to approximately 90,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from approximately 78,700 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net revenues from Global Clients in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,231.1 million, up $253.6 million, or 12.8%, from $1,977.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily driven by growth in several of our verticals, including capital markets, high tech, consumer goods and life sciences. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients decreased from 91.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 86.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to strong growth in net revenues from GE.

Net revenues from GE in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $348.7 million, up $160.7 million, or 85.5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018, driven by services delivered in connection with a large new contract signed in the fourth quarter of 2018, as well as an increase in transformation services project engagements in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net revenues from GE increased as a percentage of our total net revenues from 8.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 13.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net revenues from BPO services in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,173.6 million, up $370.7 million, or 20.6%, from $1,802.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in transformation services, in particular those associated with large new deals signed in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. Net revenues from IT services were $406.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $43.7 million, or 12.1%, from $362.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net revenues from BPO services as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 84.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 83.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, with a corresponding decline in the percentage of total net revenues attributable to IT services.

Cost of revenue and gross margin. The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue and the resulting gross margin:

Nine months ended September 30, — 2018 2019 As a Percentage of Total Net Revenues — 2018 2019
(dollars in millions)
Personnel expenses $ 959.6 $ 1,224.6 44.3 % 47.5 %
Operational expenses 389.7 376.9 18.0 14.6
Depreciation and amortization 39.3 62.5 1.8 2.4
Cost of revenue $ 1,388.6 $ 1,664.0 64.1 % 64.5 %
Gross margin 35.9 % 35.5%

Cost of revenue was $1,664.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $275.4 million, or 19.8%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Increases in our operational headcount, including in the number of onshore personnel, in particular for large new deals, transformation services delivery and additional headcount from large deals, wage inflation, and higher stock-based compensation expense contributed to the increase in cost of revenue, offset by improved utilization of transformation services resources in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our gross margin decreased from 35.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 35.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, driven primarily by lower initial gross margins associated with large new deals and higher stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by improved utilization of transformation services resources and improved operating leverage.

Personnel expenses. Personnel expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 44.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 47.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Personnel expenses were $1,224.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $265.0 million, or 27.6%, from $959.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. A 14.9% net increase in our operational headcount, including in the number of onshore personnel, particularly related to large new deals and transformation services delivery, the impact of wage inflation, and higher stock-based compensation expense resulted in higher personnel expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Operational expenses. Operational expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 18.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 14.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, largely due to improved operational efficiencies and the other factors described below. Operational expenses were $376.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, down $12.8 million, or 3.3%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in communication costs and contractor costs, partially offset by higher infrastructure expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 1.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 2.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of cost of revenue were $62.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $23.2 million, or 59.2%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of certain existing facilities and the acquisition of new assets, including technology-related intangible assets, capitalized after the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and additional finance leases recognized on the adoption of a new lease standard in 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table sets forth the components of our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses:

Nine months ended September 30, — 2018 2019 As a Percentage of Total Net Revenues — 2018 2019
(dollars in millions)
Personnel expenses $ 380.5 $ 438.4 17.6 % 17.0 %
Operational expenses 126.9 136.5 5.9 5.3
Depreciation and amortization 7.9 7.4 0.4 0.3
Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 515.3 $ 582.3 23.8 % 22.6 %

63

SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 23.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 22.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to operating leverage driven by an increase in revenues. SG&A expenses were $582.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $67.0 million, or 13.0%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase in expense was primarily due to wage inflation, higher stock-based compensation, marketing expenses and infrastructure costs, partially offset by lower travel and contractor costs.

Personnel expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, personnel expenses decreased from 17.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 17.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to improved operating leverage and savings from functional efficiency initiatives. Personnel expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $438.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $57.9 million, or 15.2%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase is primarily due to wage inflation, a net increase in our support personnel headcount and higher stock-based compensation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Operational expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, operational expenses decreased from 5.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 5.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Operational expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $136.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $9.6 million, or 7.6%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase is primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses and infrastructure costs, partially offset by lower contractor costs and travel expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were 0.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 0.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $7.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, down $0.5 million, or 6.7%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-cash charges on account of amortization of acquired intangibles were $23.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, down $5.6 million, or 19.1%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Other operating (income) expense, net. Other operating expense, net of income, was $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to other operating income, net of expense, of $4.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a gain of $3.4 million related to a doubtful capital advance for a parcel of land in India. No such gain was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We recorded a gain of $6.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to changes in the fair value of earn-out consideration payable in connection with certain acquisitions, and no such gain was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, we recorded a $1.5 million and $3.5 million non-recurring charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively, relating to certain computer software and technology-related intangible assets, which charge we discuss in Note 10—“ Goodwill and intangible assets ” under Part I, Item 1—“ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Income from operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 11.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 12.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Income from operations was $309.9 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $72.5 million from $237.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net. We recorded a net foreign exchange gain of $3.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net foreign exchange gain of $15.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The gains in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 resulted primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar during such periods.

Interest income (expense), net . The following table sets forth the components of interest income (expense), net:

64

Nine months ended September 30, Increase/(Decrease)
2018 2019 2019 vs. 2018
(dollars in millions)
Interest income $ 8.5 $ 4.8 (43.8 ) %
Interest expense (36.1 ) (38.2 ) 5.9
Interest income (expense), net $ (27.6 ) $ (33.5 ) 21.1 %
Interest income (expense), net as a percentage of total net revenues (1.3 ) % (1.3 ) %

Our net interest expense was $33.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $5.8 million from $27.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in interest expense and a $3.7 million decrease in interest income. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to (i) higher drawdown on our revolving credit facility in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and (ii) higher interest expense recognized under finance leases (including those recognized under the new accounting pronouncement on leases adopted in 2019). This increase was partially offset by (i) lower interest expenses on earn-outs in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and (ii) additional interest expense resulting from the amendment of our June 2015 credit facility in the nine months ended September 30 2018 for which there was no corresponding expense incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our interest income decreased by $3.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to lower account balances in India, where we earn higher interest rates on our deposits compared to other jurisdictions where we have deposits. The weighted average rate of interest on our debt, including the net impact of interest rate swaps, increased from 3.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 3.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Other income (expense), net. The following table sets forth the components of other income (expense), net:

Nine months ended September 30, Percentage Change — Increase/(Decrease)
2018 2019 2019 vs. 2018
(dollars in millions)
Government incentives $ 30.9 $ 4.0 (87.1 ) %
Other income/(expense) (0.2) 1.1 (754.7 )
Other income (expense), net $ 30.7 $ 5.1 (83.5 ) %
Other income (expense), net as a percentage of total net revenues 1.4 % 0.2 %

Our net other income was $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, down $25.6 million from $30.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease is primarily due to the fact that we recorded $4.0 million in income in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in connection with an export subsidy in comparison to $30.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This subsidy was introduced under the Foreign Trade Policy of India to encourage the export of specified services from India and was available for eligible export services until March 31, 2019.

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense was $62.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up $9.1 million from $53.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing an ETR of 21.9%, compared to 20.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in our ETR is primarily due to the expiration of certain special economic zone benefits in India and changes in the jurisdictional mix of our income.

Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest primarily refers to the loss associated with the redeemable non-controlling interest in the operations of Strategic Sourcing Excellence LLC (“SSE”), which we acquired in the first quarter of 2016. We purchased the remainder of the outstanding equity interest in SSE in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net income attributable to Genpact Limited shareholders . As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to our common shareholders as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 9.4% in the nine months

65

ended September 30, 2018 to 8.6 % in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 . Net income attributable to our common shareholders was $ 222.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , up $ 19.8 million from $ 202.9 m illion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

Financial Condition

We have historically financed our operations and our expansion, including acquisitions, with cash from operations and borrowing facilities.

On February 7, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a 13% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.085 per share, up from $0.075 per share in 2018, representing a planned annual dividend of $0.34 per common share, up from $0.30 per common share in 2018, payable to holders of our common shares. On March 20, 2019, June 21, 2019 and September 20, 2019, we paid a dividend of $0.085 per share, amounting to $16.1 million, $16.2 million and $16.2 million in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 8, 2019, June 12, 2019 and September 11, 2019, respecti vely.

As of September 30, 2019, $451.1 million of our $456.9 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign (non-Bermuda) subsidiaries. $16.9 million of this cash is held by foreign subsidiaries for which we expect to incur and have accrued a deferred tax liability on the repatriation of $15.1 million of retained earnings. $434.2 million of the cash and cash equivalents is held by foreign subsidiaries in jurisdictions where no tax is expected to be imposed upon repatriation of retained earnings or is being indefinitely reinvested.

The total authorization under our existing share repurchase program is $1,250.0 million. Since our share repurchase program was initially authorized in 2015, we have repurchased 37,239,353 of our common shares at an average price of $26.04 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $970.0 million. This amount includes shares repurchased under our 2017 accelerated share repurchase program.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 4,114,882 and 608,285 of its common shares, respectively, on the open market at a weighted average price of $31.62 and $39.29 per share, respectively, for an aggregate cash amount of $130.1 million and $23.9 million, respectively. Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company received a final delivery of 163,975 common shares upon the settlement of the transaction under its 2017 accelerated share repurchase program. All repurchased shares were retired.

For additional information, see Note 17— “Capital stock” under Part I, Item 1— “Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” above.

We expect that in the future our cash from operations, cash reserves and debt capacity will be sufficient to finance our operations, our growth and expansion plans, dividend payments and additional share repurchases we may make under our share repurchase program. In addition, we may raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance our payroll and other administrative and information technology expenses in advance of the receipt of accounts receivable. Our primary capital requirements include opening

66

new delivery centers, expanding existing operations to support our growth, financing acquisitions and enhancing capabilities , including building digital solutions .

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $341.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $202.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase is primarily due to (i) a $20.6 million increase in net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, (ii) a $74.9 million net decrease in our working capital in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mainly driven by the collection of an export subsidy relating to earlier years, employee -related accruals, statutory liabilities, and advances from customers, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and customer acquisition costs, and (iii) a $43.0 million increase in non-cash expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mainly stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

Cash flows from financing activities. Our net cash used for financing activities was $154.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash used for financing activities of $52.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, our short-term borrowings and long-term debts decreased by approximately $74.7 million, and during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, our short-term borrowings and long-term debts increased by $131.4 million. For additional information, see Note 11—“Short-term borrowings” and Note 12—“Long-term debt” under Part I, Item 1—“Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” above.

We received proceeds from long-term debt (net of debt-issuance cost) of $124.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and no such proceeds were received in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We repaid $25.5 million and $157.7 million of our long-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We received proceeds from short-term borrowings of $50.0 million and $225.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Financing Arrangements

In August 2018, we amended the 2015 Facility which was comprised of a term loan of $800.0 million and a revolving credit facility of $350.0 million. The amended facility is comprised of a $680.0 million term loan, which represents the outstanding balance under the 2015 Facility as of the date of amendment, and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility. The amended facility expires on August 8, 2023. The amendment did not result in a substantial modification of $550.8 million of the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility. Further, as a result of the amendment, we extinguished the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility of $129.2 million and obtained additional funding of $129.2 million from different lenders, resulting in no change to the outstanding principal of the term loan under the amended facility. In connection with the amendment, we expensed $2.0 million, representing partial acceleration of the amortization of the existing unamortized debt issuance costs and an additional fee paid to our lenders related to the term loan.

The overall borrowing capacity under the revolving facility increased from $350.0 million to $500.0 million. The amendment of the revolving credit facility resulted in accelerated amortization of $0.82 million relating to existing unamortized debt issuance cost. The remaining unamortized costs and an additional third-party fee paid in connection with the amendment is being amortized over the term of the amended facility, which terminates on August 8, 2023. For additional information, see Note 12— “Long-Term Debt” under Part I, Item 1— “ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our election, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 1.50% under the 2015 facility, or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 0.50% under the 2015 facility, in each case subject to adjustment based on our debt ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Based on our election and current credit rating, the applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum.

As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, our outstanding term loan, net of debt amortization expense of $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, was $660.8 million and $635.7 million, respectively. We also have fund-based and non-fund based credit facilities with banks, which are available for operational requirements in the form of overdrafts, letters of credit, guarantees and short-term loans. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the limits available under such facilities were $14.3 million and $14.2 million, respectively, of which $7.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, were utilized, constituting non-funded drawdown. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, a total of $297.1 million and $247.1 million, respectively, of our revolving credit facility was utilized, of which $295.0 million and $245.0 million, respectively, constituted funded drawdown and $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, constituted non-funded drawdown.

As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the amount outstanding under our 3.70% senior notes issued in March 2017 and exchanged in July 2018 for freely tradable notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, net of debt amortization expense of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, was $348.3 million and 348.7 million, respectively, which is payable on April 1, 2022 when the notes mature. For additional information, see Notes 11 and 12—“Short-term borrowings” and “Long-term debt” under Part I, Item 1—“ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” above.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating rate indebtedness under our term loan and 3.70% senior notes issued in March 2017. Borrowings under our term loan bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR, but in no event less than the floor rate of 0.0% plus an applicable margin. The interest rate on our 3.70% senior notes is subject to adjustment based on the ratings assigned to the notes by Moody’s and S&P from time to time. A decline in such ratings could result in an increase of up to 2% in the rate of interest on the notes. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates or decline in ratings may increase or decrease our interest expense which will, in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.

We manage a portion of our interest rate risk related to floating rate indebtedness by entering into interest rate swaps under which we receive floating rate payments based on the greater of LIBOR and the floor rate under our term loan and make payments based on a fixed rate. As of September 30, 2019, we were party to interest rate swaps covering a total notional amount of $485.1 million. Under these swap agreements, the rate that we pay to banks in exchange for LIBOR ranges between 0.88% and 2.65%.

For a discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk, see Part II, Item 7A—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b).
