Logica Integration

The Company has expanded its integration goals, increasing the annualized savings target from $300 million to $375 million by the end of fiscal 2014, completing the program a year earlier than originally planned. To realize these additional benefits and incremental EPS accretion, the Company will increase its investment from $400 million to $525 million over the integration period.

“I am very pleased with our overall performance and with the excellent progress we have achieved in restructuring and transforming our European and Asia Pacific operations,” said Michael E. Roach, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Working closely with our clients and our professionals we are seeing the business benefits of implementing our operating model as we trend to the upper end of our fiscal 2013 EPS accretion commitment of 25 to 30 percent before integration costs. We continue to identify and action opportunities to bring incremental value to our stakeholders.”

During the quarter, net debt was reduced by $50.6 million to $2.91 billion, representing a net debt to capitalization of 43.0% at the end of March 2013. At the end of Q2-2013, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion in available cash and unused credit facilities.
