Read this and answer the question Sources and Uses of Cash Historically, our primary source of cash has been provided by operations. Other sources of cash in the past three fiscal years include proceeds from our Euro Term Loan used to finance our acquisition of Rofin, proceeds received from the sale of our stock through our employee stock purchase plan as well as borrowings under our revolving credit facility (‘‘Revolving Credit Facility’’). Our historical uses of cash have primarily been for acquisitions of businesses and technologies, the repurchase of our common stock, capital expenditures and debt issuance costs. Supplemental information pertaining to our historical sources and uses of cash is presented as follows and should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and notes thereto (in thousands): Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $54.7 million in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to lower net income and lower cash flows from income taxes payable and deferred taxes, partially offset by higher cash flows from accounts receivable, inventories, deferred revenue and accrued payroll. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short term investments combined with cash to be provided by operating activities and amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to cover our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months to the extent such items are known or are reasonably determinable based on current business and market conditions. However, we may elect to finance certain of our capital expenditure requirements through other sources of capital. We continue to follow our strategy to further strengthen our financial position by using available cash flow to fund operations. | | Fiscal | | |------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|-----------| | | 2019 | 2018 | | Net cash provided by operating activities | $181,401 | $236,111 | | Purchases of property and equipment | (83,283) | (90,757) | | Acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired | (18,881) | (45,448) | | Proceeds from sale of discontinued operation (the Hull Business) | — | 25,000 | | Proceeds from sales of other entities | — | 6,250 | | Borrowings, net of repayments | 263 | (173,252) | | Issuance of shares under employee stock plans | 11,811 | 10,574 | | Repurchase of common stock | (77,410) | (100,000) | | Net settlement of restricted common stock | (15,179) | (36,320) | What was the Net cash provided by operating activities in 2019?What was the Purchases of property and equipment in 2018?In which years are the uses of cash highlighted in the table?

Read this and answer the question 23. Investments continued IFRS 9 was applied for the first time on 1 April 2018 and introduces new classifications for financial instruments, including investments. Under IAS 39, we classified investments as available-for-sale, loans and receivables, and fair value through profit or loss. On transition to IFRS 9 we have reclassified them as fair value through other comprehensive income, fair value through profit or loss, and amortised cost, as set out in note 1. The current year figures in the following table reflect the classifications under IFRS 9, and the prior year figures reflect the previous classifications under IAS 39. Investments held at amortised cost consist of investments previously classified as loans and receivables and relate to money market investments denominated in sterling of £2,687m (2017/18: £416m, 2016/17: £35m), in US dollars of £26m (2017/18: £27m, 2016/17: £30m) in euros of £499m (2017/18: £nil, 2016/17: £nil) and in other currencies £2m (2017/18: £4m, 2016/17: £18m). They also include investments in liquidity funds of £2,522m (2017/18: £2,575m, 2016/17: £1,437m) held to collect contractual cash flows.

Read this and answer the question Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type 1) License: Our license revenue can be broadly categorized as perpetual licenses, term licenses and subscription licenses, all of which are deployed on the customer’s premises (on-premise). Our license revenues are impacted by the strength of general economic and industry conditions, the competitive strength of our software products, and our acquisitions. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of royalties payable to third parties. License revenues decreased by $9.4 million or 2.2% during the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior fiscal year; up 0.4% after factoring the impact of $11.2 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to an increase in Americas of $8.2 million, offset by a decrease in Asia Pacific of $10.6 million and a decrease in EMEA of $7.0 million. During Fiscal 2019, we closed 153 license deals greater than $0.5 million, of which 49 deals were greater than $1.0 million, contributing approximately $144.1 million of license revenues. This was compared to 140 deals greater than $0.5 million during Fiscal 2018, of which 58 deals were greater than $1.0 million, contributing $152.2 million of license revenues. Cost of license revenues increased by $0.7 million during the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior fiscal year. The gross margin percentage on license revenues remained at approximately 97%. For illustrative purposes only, had we accounted for revenues under proforma Topic 605, license revenues would have been $390.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2019, which would have been lower by approximately $47.1 million or 10.8% as compared to the prior fiscal year; and would have been lower by 8.4% after factoring the impact of $10.4 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change would have been attributable to a decrease in Americas of $17.7 million, a decrease in EMEA of $15.7 million and a decrease in Asia Pacific of $13.7 million. The $37.7 million difference between license revenues recognized under Topic 606 and those proforma Topic 605 license revenues described above is the result of timing differences, where under Topic 605, revenues would have been deferred and recognized over time, but under Topic 606 these revenues are recognized up front. For more details, see note 3 "Revenues" to our Consolidated Financial Statements. | | | | Year Ended June 30, | | | |-----------------------------------|----------|-----------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------------|----------| | (In thousands) | 2019 | Change increase (decrease)) | 2018 | Change increase (decrease) | 2017 | | License Revenues: | | | | | | | Americas | $215,871 | $8,216 | $207,655 | $29,257 | $178,398 | | EMEA | 163,622 | (7,009) | 170,631 | 23,788 | 146,843 | | Asia Pacific | 48,599 | (10,627) | 59,226 | 15,323 | 43,903 | | Total License Revenues | 428,092 | (9,420) | 437,512 | 68,368 | 369,144 | | Cost of License Revenues | 14,347 | 654 | 13,693 | 61 | 13,632 | | GAAP-based License Gross Profit | $413,745 | $(10,074) | $423,819 | $68,307 | $355,512 | | GAAP-based License Gross Margin % | 96.6% | | 96.9% | | 96.3% | | % License Revenues by Geography: | | | | | | | Americas | 50.4% | | 47.5% | | 48.3% | | EMEA | 38.2% | | 39.0% | | 39.8% | | Asia Pacific | 11.4% | | 13.5% | | 11.9% | How much did Cost of license revenues increase by in the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior fiscal year?During Fiscal 2019, how much deals greater than $1.0 million were closed?What was the change increase in License revenues for Americas for 2018 to 2019?

Read this and answer the question Operating Cash Flow Activities Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared with the Year Ended December 31, 2018 Net cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations decreased during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with prior year. The decrease in income from operations and the increase in non-cash adjustments to net income in 2019 partially related to the absence in the gains on sale of divestitures, such as OneContent in 2018. The increase in non-cash adjustments to net loss in 2019 also related to higher depreciation and the amortization of right-to-use assets. The net loss and the cash impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities during 2019 reflects the $145 million settlement with the DOJ in connection with the Practice Fusion investigations. Net cash used in operating activities – discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2019 reflects an advance income tax payment related to the gain realized on the sale of our investment in Netsmart on December 31, 2018. Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared with the Year Ended December 31, 2017 Net cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations decreased during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared with the prior year primarily due to working capital changes and higher costs during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared with the prior year, which primarily included higher interest expense, transaction-related and legal expenses, and incentive-based compensation payments. The decrease in non-cash adjustments to net loss was primarily driven by lower non-cash impairment charges associated with long-term investments, intangibles and goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared with the prior year. Net cash provided by operating activities – discontinued operations decreased during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared with the prior year primarily driven by the additional tax provision relating to the gain from the sale of our investment in Netsmart on December 31, 2018. Netsmart generated cash from operations during both 2018 and 2017. During 2018, Netsmart’s cash provided by operations decreased by approximately $16 million primarily driven by higher interest expenses paid attributable to Netsmart’s credit facilities. | | | Year Ended December 31, | | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------|---------------------------|-------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| | (In thousands) | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2019 $ Change from 2018 | 2018 $ Change from 2017 | | Net (loss) income | $ (182,602) | $ 407,807 | $ (154,175) | $ (590,409) | $ 561,982 | | Less: Loss from discontinued operations | 0 | 395,138 | 30,348 | (395,138) | 364,790 | | (Loss) income from continuing operations | (182,602) | 12,669 | (184,523) | (195,271) | 197,192 | | Non-cash adjustments to net (loss) income | 277,217 | 136,651 | 351,835 | 140,566 | (215,184) | | Cash impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities | (18,361) | (60,086) | 57,746 | 41,725 | (117,832) | | Net cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations | 76,254 | 89,234 | 225,058 | (12,980) | (135,824) | | Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities - discontinued operations | (30,000) | (21,343) | 54,357 | (8,657) | (75,700) | | Net cash provided by operating activities | $ 46,254 | $ 67,891 | $ 279,415 | $ (21,637) | $ (211,524) | What led to decrease in income from operations and the increase in non-cash adjustments to net income in 2019?

Read this and answer the question We manufacture products in 107 facilities, with 15 of those facilities serving both of our business segments. The following table shows our manufacturing facilities by geographic region and our business segment reporting structure: Other Property Information We own the large majority of our manufacturing facilities. Some of these facilities are subject to secured or other financing arrangements. We lease the balance of our manufacturing facilities, which are generally smaller sites. Our manufacturing facilities are usually located in general purpose buildings that house our specialized machinery for the manufacture of one or more products. Because of the relatively low density of our air cellular, polyethylene foam and protective mailer products, we realize significant freight savings by locating our manufacturing facilities for these products near our customers and distributors. We also occupy facilities containing sales, distribution, technical, warehouse or administrative functions at a number of locations in the U.S. and in many foreign countries/regions. Some of these facilities are located on the manufacturing sites that we own and some of these are leased. Stand-alone facilities of these types are generally leased. Our global headquarters is located in an owned property in Charlotte, North Carolina. For a list of those countries and regions outside of the U.S. where we have operations, see "Global Operations" above. We believe that our manufacturing, warehouse, office and other facilities are well maintained, suitable for their purposes and adequate for our needs. | Geographic Region | Number of Manufacturing Facilities | Food Care Manufacturing Facilities | Product Care Manufacturing Facilities | |------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| | North America | 44 | 10 | 37 | | Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") | 29 | 11 | 24 | | South America | 6 | 6 | 1 | | Asia, Australia and New Zealand ("APAC") | 28 | 9 | 24 | | Total | 107 | 36 | 86 | How many facilities serve both business segments?Where are the manufacturing facilities usually located?

Read this and answer the question Executive Director Fixed Pay increases The Committee has approved Fixed Pay increases of 4% for the CEO and 3% for the CFO, effective from 1 January 2020. This is in line with the average increase awarded to the wider Unilever workforce in 2019 of 3.6%. These increases were awarded to recognise the strong leadership of both individuals in 2019, which was Alan Jope’s first year in the CEO role and a year of transformation for Unilever generally. We also wanted to recognise Graeme Pitkethly’s seniority in his role, coming into his 5th year as CFO. When our CEO Alan Jope was appointed on 1 January 2019 he was appointed with Fixed Pay 14% below that of what the Committee proposed for his predecessor and at the lower quartile of our remuneration benchmarking peer group, despite Unilever being one of the largest companies in this peer group. This positioning was intentional, given Alan’s internal promotion on appointment. However, subject to Alan’s continuing good performance the Committee will, over time, continue to review his Fixed Pay positioning and progress this towards the market median benchmark. * MCIP at maximum (67%) investment of bonus. | | Alan Jope CEO €'000 p.a. | | Graeme Pitkethly CFO €'000 p.a. | | |------------------------------|----------------------------|-------|-----------------------------------|-------| | | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | | Fixed Pay | 1,450 | 1,508 | 1,103 | 1,136 | | Annual Bonus | 2,175 | 2,262 | 1,323 | 1,363 | | MCIP* Match share award | 2,186 | 2,273 | 1,330 | 1,370 | | Target Total Pay | 5,811 | 6,043 | 3,756 | 3,869 | | Personal MCIP* Investment in | 67% | 67% | 67% | 67% | | Unilever shares | 1,457 | 1,516 | 886 | 913 | What is the increase in the Fixed Pay approved by the committee?

Read this and answer the question Allowances for Receivables and Sales Returns The allowances for receivables were as follows (in millions, except percentages): (1) Calculated as allowance for credit loss on lease receivables as a percentage of gross lease receivables and residual value before unearned income. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. We regularly review the adequacy of these allowances by considering internal factors such as historical experience, credit quality and age of the receivable balances as well as external factors such as economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay as well as historical and expected default frequency rates, which are published by major third-party credit-rating agencies and are updated on a quarterly basis. We also consider the concentration of receivables outstanding with a particular customer in assessing the adequacy of our allowances for doubtful accounts. If a major customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, if actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, or if other circumstances arise, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be overstated, and additional allowances could be required, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results. The allowance for credit loss on financing receivables is also based on the assessment of collectibility of customer accounts. We regularly review the adequacy of the credit allowances determined either on an individual or a collective basis. When evaluating the financing receivables on an individual basis, we consider historical experience, credit quality and age of receivable balances, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. When evaluating financing receivables on a collective basis, we use expected default frequency rates published by a major third-party credit-rating agency as well as our own historical loss rate in the event of default, while also systematically giving effect to economic conditions, concentration of risk and correlation. Determining expected default frequency rates and loss factors associated with internal credit risk ratings, as well as assessing factors such as economic conditions, concentration of risk, and correlation, are complex and subjective. Our ongoing consideration of all these factors could result in an increase in our allowance for credit loss in the future, which could adversely affect our operating results. Both accounts receivable and financing receivables are charged off at the point when they are considered uncollectible. A reserve for future sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates. The reserve for future sales returns as of July 27, 2019 and July 28, 2018 was $84 million and $123 million, respectively, and was recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected. | | July 27, 2019 | July 28, 2018 | |-----------------------------------------------|-----------------|-----------------| | Allowance for doubtful accounts | $136 | $129 | | Percentage of gross accounts receivable | 2.4% | 2.3% | | Allowance for credit loss—lease receivables . | $46 | $135 | | Percentage of gross lease receivables (1) | 1.8% | 4.7% | | Allowance for credit loss—loan receivables | $71 | $60 | | Percentage of gross loan receivables | 1.3% | 1.2% | How was the percentage of gross lease receivables calculated?
Answer is : as allowance for credit loss on lease receivables as a percentage of gross lease receivables and residual value before unearned income

Read this and answer the question Deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 27, 2019 and December 28, 2018 consist of the following: The deferred tax provision results from the effects of net changes during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and various state and local jurisdictions as well as the Canadian Federal and provincial districts. For Federal income tax purposes, the 2016 through 2019 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations and the fact that we have not yet filed our tax return for 2019.

Read this and answer the question Liquidity Cash and Liquidity. As of December 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $182.7 million, compared to $162.9 million as of December 31, 2018. We generally invest our excess cash balances in low-risk, short-term investments to limit our exposure to market and credit risks. During the first quarter of 2018, we refinanced our 2015 Credit Agreement which extended the term of the loan to March 2023 as well as obtained a reduction in the interest rate and other fees. The 2018 Credit Agreement increased our liquidity and capital resources position by approximately $30 million. As part of our 2018 Credit Agreement, we have a $200 million senior secured revolving loan facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires in March 2023. As of December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding on the 2018 Revolver. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and financial covenants. As of December 31, 2019, and the date of this filing, we believe that we are in compliance with the provisions of the 2018 Credit Agreement. Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances as of the end of the indicated periods were located in the following geographical regions (in thousands): We generally have ready access to substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences. As of December 31, 2019, we had $2.7 million of cash restricted as to use to collateralize outstanding letters of credit. Cash Flows From Operating Activities. We calculate our cash flows from operating activities beginning with net income, adding back the impact of non-cash items or nonoperating activity (e.g., depreciation, amortization, amortization of OID, impairments, gain/loss from debt extinguishments, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, etc.), and then factoring in the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our primary source of cash is from our operating activities. Our current business model consists of a significant amount of recurring revenue sources related to our long-term cloud-based and managed services arrangements (mostly billed monthly), payment process transaction services (mostly billed monthly), and software maintenance agreements (billed monthly, quarterly, or annually). This recurring revenue base provides us with a reliable and predictable source of cash. In addition, software license fees and professional services revenues are sources of cash, but the payment streams for these items are less predictable. The primary use of our cash is to fund our operating activities. Over half of our total operating costs relate to labor costs (both employees and contracted labor) for the following: (i) compensation; (ii) related fringe benefits; and (iii) reimbursements for travel and entertainment expenses. The other primary cash requirements for our operating expenses consist of: (i) computing capacity and related services and communication lines for our outsourced cloud-based business; (ii) paper, envelopes, and related supplies for our statement processing solutions; (iii) transaction fees paid in conjunction with the delivery of services under our payment services contracts; (iv) hardware and software; and (v) rent and related facility costs. These items are purchased under a variety of both short-term and long-term contractual commitments. A summary of our material contractual obligations is provided below. | | December 31, | December 31, | |---------------------------------------------------------|----------------|----------------| | | 2019 | 2018 | | Americas (principally the U.S.) | $125,309 | $110,385 | | Europe, Middle East and Africa | 50,477 | 45,884 | | Asia Pacific | 6,871 | 6,611 | | Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments | $182,657 | $162,880 | What is the company's total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in 2019?What is the company's total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in 2018?

As of December 31, 2018, we identified 15 investments totaling $207.2 million that had been in a loss position for a period of time greater than 12 months with unrealized losses of $1.8 million. The unrealized losses were primarily due to increases in interest rates relative to rates at the time of purchase. Based on the underlying credit quality of the investments, we generally hold such securities until we recover our cost basis. Therefore, we did not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. | | | As of December 31, 2019 | | | |--------------------------------|-----------|---------------------------|------------|----------| | | Amortized | Unrealized | Unrealized | Fair | | | Cost | Gains | Losses | Value | | Foreign debt . | $387,775 | $551 | $506 | $387,820 | | Foreign government obligations | 21,991 | 20 | — | 22,011 | | U.S. debt | 65,970 | 176 | 12 | 66,134 | | Time deposits | 335,541 | — | — | 335,541 | | Total . | $811,277 | $747 | $518 | $811,506 | What amount of proceeds was derived from selling marketable securities in 2019?How many investments were at loss positions for greater than 12 months as at 31 December 2018?What were the reasons for the unrealized losses as at 31 December 2018?What percentage of the total amortized marketable securities is made up of amortized foreign debt?
