NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(US Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
 
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of EPAM Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “EPAM”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in thousands, except share and per share amounts, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected to occur for the entire year.
EPAM is a leading provider of complex software engineering solutions and a leader in Central and Eastern European (“CEE”) information technology (“IT”) services delivery. The Company provides these solutions primarily to Fortune Global 2000 companies in multiple verticals, including Independent Software Vendors (“ISVs”) and Technology, Banking and Financial Services, Business Information and Media, and Travel and Consumer.
Since EPAM’s inception in 1993, the Company has focused on providing software product development services, software engineering and vertically-oriented custom development solutions through its global delivery model. This has served as a foundation for the Company’s other solutions, including custom application development, application testing, platform-based solutions, application maintenance and support, and infrastructure management.
The Company is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in Newtown, PA, with multiple delivery centers located in Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Kazakhstan and Poland, and client management locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, Russia, Kazakhstan, Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Australia.
Emerging growth company status — In April 2012, several weeks after EPAM’s initial public offering in February 2012, President Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act contains provisions that relax certain requirements for “emerging growth companies” that otherwise apply to larger public companies. For as long as a company retains emerging growth company status, which may be until the fiscal year-end after the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering, it will not be required to (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on its management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, otherwise required by Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (2) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standard applicable to public companies until such standard is also applicable to private companies, (3) comply with certain new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, (4) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies or (5) hold shareholder advisory votes on matters relating to executive compensation.
EPAM is classified as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act and is eligible to take advantage of the accommodations described above for as long as it retains this status. However, EPAM has elected not to take advantage of the transition period described in (2) above, which is the exemption provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (in each case as amended by the JOBS Act) for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. EPAM will therefore comply with new or revised financial accounting standards to the same extent that a non-emerging growth company is required to comply with such standards.
Reclassifications — From time to time the Company may reclassify certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications do not affect the Company’s results of operations or total stockholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and its beliefs of what could occur in the future, given available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue when realized or realizable and earned, which is when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Determining whether and when some of these criteria have been satisfied often involves assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue we report. If there is an uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenues are deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. At the time revenues are recognized, the Company provides for any contractual deductions and reduces revenues accordingly. The Company defers amounts billed to its clients for revenues not yet earned. Such amounts are anticipated to be recorded as revenues as services are performed in subsequent periods. Unbilled revenues represent services provided which are billed subsequent to the period end in accordance with the contract terms.
The Company derives its revenues from a variety of service offerings which represent specific competencies of its IT professionals. Contracts for these services have different terms and conditions based on the scope, deliverables, and complexity of the engagement which require management to make judgments and estimates in determining appropriate revenue recognition pattern. Fees for these contracts may be in the form of time-and-materials or fixed-price arrangements.
From time to time, the Company enters into multiple element arrangements with its customers. In the vast majority of cases such multiple-element arrangements represent fixed-priced arrangements to develop a customized IT solution to meet the customer’s needs combined with warranty support over a specified period of time in the future, to which it refers to as the “warranty period.” Typically, the Company’s customers retain full intellectual property (IP) rights to the results of its services, and the software element created in lieu of such services is no more than incidental to any of the service deliverables, as defined in accordance with ASC 985-605-15-13. For such arrangements the Company follows the guidance set forth in ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements, as to whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated. The Company recognizes revenues related to the delivered services only if all revenue recognition criteria are met and the delivered element has a standalone value to the customer and allocates total consideration among the deliverables based on their relative selling prices. Revenues related to the software development services are recognized under the proportional performance method, as described above, while warranty support services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the warranty period. The warranty period is generally three months to two years.
The Company reports gross reimbursable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred as both revenues and cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company makes significant assumptions about fair values of its financial instruments. Fair value is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company utilizes the following fair value hierarchy in determining fair values:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates or yield curves.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting our view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Where the fair values of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets cannot be derived from an active market, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. These valuation techniques include a net present value technique, comparison to similar instruments with market observable inputs, options pricing models and other relevant valuation models. Inputs into these models are taken from observable market data whenever possible, but in instances where it is not reasonably feasible, a degree of judgment is required to establish fair values.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured At Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, other than contingent liabilities in connection with the acquisitions of businesses.
At June 30, 2014, contingent liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprised contingent consideration payable in cash and stock, and performance-based awards issued to certain former owners of the acquired businesses in exchange for future services.
The Company estimates the fair value of contingent liabilities based on certain performance milestones of the acquired businesses, and estimated probabilities of achievement, then discounts the liabilities to present value using the Company’s cost

Table of Contents

of debt for the cash component of contingent consideration, and risk free rate for the stock component of a contractual contingency. Contingent liabilities are valued using significant inputs that are not observable in the market which are defined as Level 3 inputs pursuant to fair value measurement accounting. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities may result from changes in discount periods, changes in the timing and amount of specific milestone estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earnout criteria. These changes could cause a material impact to, and volatility in the Company’s operating results. See Note 4 for contingent liabilities activity.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured At Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, with the exceptions of employee housing loans described further herein, approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities.
Employee Housing Loans — The housing loans were classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these housing loans upon initial recognition was computed by projecting the future contractual cash flows to be received from the loans and discounting those projected net cash flows to a present value, which is the estimated fair value (the “Income Approach”). In applying the Income Approach, the Company analyzed similar loans offered by third-party financial institutions in Belarusian Rubles (“BYR”) and adjusted the interest rates charged on such loans to exclude the effects of underlying economic factors, such as inflation and currency devaluation. The Company also assessed the probability of future defaults and associated cash flows impact. In addition, the Company separately analyzed the rate of return that market participants in Belarus would require when investing in unsecured USD-denominated government bonds with similar maturities (a “risk-free rate”) and evaluated a risk premium component to compensate the market participants for the credit and liquidity risks inherent in the loans’ cash flows. As a result of the analysis performed, the Company determined the carrying values of the housing loans issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 approximated their fair values upon initial recognition. The Company also estimated the fair values of the housing loans that were outstanding as of June 30, 2014 using the inputs noted above and determined their fair values approximated the carrying values as of that date.
Employee loans, other — The Company also issues short-term non-interest bearing relocation loans and other employee loans. These loans are considered Level 3 measurements. The Company’s Level 3, unobservable inputs reflect its assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing similar receivables, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances. Due to the short-term nature of employee loans (i.e., the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization), the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying values of these employee loans approximated their fair values.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition accounting method, which requires it to determine the fair value of net assets acquired and the related goodwill and other intangible assets. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and involves the use of significant estimates, including projections of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives and market multiples. The Company’s acquisitions usually do not have significant amounts of tangible assets, as the principal assets it typically acquires are customer relationships, trade names, non-competition agreements, and workforce. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. When facts and circumstances indicate potential impairment of amortizable intangible assets, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value, using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows that utilize a discount rate determined by its management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s business model over the remaining asset life. The estimates of future cash flows attributable to intangible assets require significant judgment based on the Company’s historical and anticipated results. Any impairment loss is measured by the excess of carrying value over fair value.
Business Combinations — The Company allocates the total cost of an acquisition to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. As part of this allocation process, the Company identifies and attributes values and estimated lives to the intangible assets acquired. These determinations involve significant estimates and assumptions about several highly subjective variables, including future cash flows, discount rates, and asset lives. There are also different valuation models for each component, the selection of which requires considerable judgment. These determinations will affect the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes are reasonable, but recognizes that the assumptions are inherently uncertain.
If initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts are reported for which the accounting is incomplete, with retrospective

Table of Contents

adjustment made to such provisional amounts during the measurement period to present new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Once the measurement period ends, and in no case beyond one year from the acquisition date, revisions of the accounting for the business combination are recorded in earnings.
All acquisition-related costs, other than the costs to issue debt or equity securities, are accounted for as expense in the period in which they are incurred. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration arrangements that are not measurement period adjustments are recognized in earnings. Payments to settle contingent consideration, if any, are reflected in cash flows from financing activities and the changes in fair value are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
Stock-Based Compensation — Equity-based compensation cost relating to the issuance of share-based awards to employees is based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant, which is expensed ratably over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. Therefore, changes in the forfeiture assumptions may affect the timing of the total amount of expense recognized over the vesting period. The service period is the period over which the employee performs the related services, which is normally the same as the vesting period. Equity-based awards that do not require future service are expensed immediately. Equity-based awards that do not meet criteria for equity classification are recorded in liabilities and adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Distributions associated with liability-classified awards not expected to vest are accounted for as compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments — Include credit instruments, such as commitments to make employee loans and related guarantees, standby letters of credit and guarantees issued under customer contracts. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering available collateral or the borrower’s ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Loss contingencies arising from off-balance sheet credit exposures are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS

The amount of the maximum potential earnout payable to GGA, if any, is not limited based on the terms of the purchase agreement.
Common shares issued in connection with acquisitions are valued at closing market prices as of the effective date of the applicable acquisition. The maximum potential earnout payables disclosed in the foregoing table represent the maximum amount of additional consideration that could be paid pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement for the applicable acquisition. The amounts recorded as earnout payables, which are based upon the estimated future operating results of the acquired businesses within a seven-to twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition date, are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and are included on that basis in the recorded purchase price consideration in the foregoing table. The Company will record subsequent changes in the fair value of the earnout obligations, if any, in its consolidated income from operations. Please see Note 4 for discussion around significant inputs and assumptions.

Netsoft — On March 5, 2014, the Company completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of U.S.-based healthcare technology consulting firm Netsoft Holdings, LLC and Armenia-based Ozsoft, LLC (collectively, “Netsoft”). As a result of this transaction, substantially all of the employees of Netsoft, including approximately 40 IT professionals, accepted employment with the Company. In connection with the Netsoft acquisition, the Company agreed to issue a total of 2,289 of restricted shares of Company common stock as consideration for future services to key management and employees of Netsoft (the “Netsoft Closing Shares”). Furthermore, subject to attainment of certain performance targets defined in the purchase agreement, the Company will issue up to a maximum of 16,349 shares (collectively with the Netsoft Closing Shares, the “Netsoft Employment Shares”). The Netsoft Employment Shares will vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period starting from the date of acquisition. All unvested shares will be forfeited upon termination of services by the Company for cause or by the employee other than for good reason. The Netsoft Employment Shares had an estimated value of $682 at the time of grant and were recorded as stock-based compensation expense over an associated service period of three years (Note 9). All of the Netsoft Closing Shares, as well as $256, were placed in escrow for a period of 18 months as security for the indemnification obligations of the sellers under the asset purchase agreement.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As required by the guidance for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Thus, assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 may be measured at fair value using inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are forecasts of expected future operating results of those businesses as developed by the Company’s management and the probability of achievement of those operating forecasts. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables show the fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013.
As of June 30, 2014, contingent consideration and performance-based equity awards included amounts payable in cash and stock in connection with the acquisitions of businesses completed in the six months ended June 30, 2014 (Note 2).
Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs
The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the Company considered a variety of factors, including third party valuation experts and future performance of the acquired businesses using financial projections developed by the Company and market risk assumptions that were derived for revenue growth and/or earnings before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Company estimated future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and adjusted those estimates to reflect the ability of the acquired entities to achieve the targets. It then discounted the payments to present value using the Company’s cost of debt for the cash component, and a risk-free rate for the stock component of the earnout for all of the Company’s 2014 acquisitions. Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions for revenue growth and/or EBITDA, or the discount rates, would result in a change in the fair value of recorded contingent liabilities. In addition, inputs used in the valuation of the stock component of the earnout include term, stock price volatility, current stock price, and exercise price, with the Company current stock price factor being the input subject to the most variation. A

Table of Contents

significant increase in the Company stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. As the Company’s common stock does not have sufficient trading history, volatility was determined by measuring the volatility of a representative group of its peers, in conjunction with the volatility of the Company’s available trading history.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of acquisition-related contractual contingent liabilities using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was as follows:

EMPLOYEE LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
In the third quarter of 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Employee Housing Program (the “Housing Program”), which assists employees in purchasing housing in Belarus. The Housing Program was designed to be a retention mechanism for the Company’s employees in Belarus and is available to full-time employees who have been with the Company for at least three years. As part of the Housing Program, the Company will extend financing to employees up to an aggregate amount of $10,000. The Company does not bear any market risk in connection with the Housing Program, as the housing will be sold directly to employees by independent third parties. In addition to the housing loans, the Company issues relocation loans in connection with intra-company transfers, as well as certain other individual loans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, loans issued by the Company under the Housing Program were denominated in U.S. Dollars with a 5-year term and carried an interest rate of 7.5%.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, categories of employee loans included in the loan portfolio were as follows:

There were no loans issued to principal officers, directors, and their affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the aging of its loan portfolio to evaluate information about the ability of employees to service their debt, including historical payment experience, reasons for payment delays and shortfalls, if any, as well as probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments based on the knowledge of individual borrowers, among other factors.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no material past due or non-accrual employee loans. The Company determined no allowance for loan losses was required regarding its employee loans as of June 30, 2014 and

December 31, 2013 and there were no movements in provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

6.
LONG-TERM DEBT
Revolving Line of Credit — On January 15, 2013, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “2013 Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). Under the agreement, the Company’s maximum borrowing capacity was set at $40,000. The 2013 Credit Facility matures on January 15, 2015. Advances under the 2013 Credit Facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.25%. As of June 30, 2014, the borrowing capacity of the Company under the 2013 Credit Facility was $40,000. The Company had no outstanding borrowing as of that date.
The 2013 Credit Facility is collateralized with: (a) all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, and its U.S.-based subsidiaries including all accounts, general intangibles, intellectual property rights and equipment; and (b) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests in U.S.-based subsidiaries of the Company, and 65.0% of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests in certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

7.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company has established a 401(k) retirement plan, which is a tax-qualified self-funded retirement plan covering substantially all of the Company’s U.S. employees. Under this plan, employees may elect to defer their current compensation by up to the statutory limit. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company provides discretionary matching contributions to the plan up to a maximum of 2.0% of the employee’s eligible compensation. Employer contributions charged to expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were $137 and $102, respectively. Employer contributions charged to expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were $261 and $174, respectively. The Company does not maintain any defined benefit pension plans or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

8.
INCOME TAXES
The Company’s worldwide effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 19.5% and 19.0%, respectively, and 19.5% and 19.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The movement in the Company’s worldwide effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2013, was primarily due to (a) a larger portion of the Company’s pre-tax profits attributable to tax jurisdictions with relatively higher effective tax rates (as compared to effective tax rates within the Commonwealth of Independent States (“CIS”) region); (b) a relative shift in offshore services performed in Belarus, where the Company is currently entitled to a 100% exemption from Belarusian income tax, to other countries in the CIS region (specifically Ukraine, and, to a lesser extent, Russia), both of which have higher income tax rates than Belarus; (c) adjustments to the statutory rates in several countries, primarily the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Hungary; and (d) the acquisitions completed in the second quarter of 2014, which added other tax jurisdictions into the Company’s worldwide effective tax rate analysis.

Table of Contents

2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan — On January 11, 2012, the Company approved the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan”) to be used to issue equity grants to employees. As of June 30, 2014, 6,418,535 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the 2012 Plan. This includes (i) any shares that were available for issuance under the 2006 Plan (as defined below) as of its discontinuance date and that became available for issuance under the 2012 Plan and (ii) any shares that were subject to outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan and have expired or terminated or were cancelled between the discontinuance date of the 2006 Plan and June 30, 2014 and therefore became available for issuance under the 2012 Plan. In addition, up to 2,101,091 shares that are subject to outstanding awards as of June 30, 2014 under the 2006 Plan and that expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise or that would otherwise have returned to the 2006 Plan’s share reserve under the terms of the 2006 Plan will be available for awards to be granted under the 2012 Plan.
2006 Stock Option Plan — Effective May 31, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan permitted the granting of options to directors, employees, and certain independent contractors. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors generally had the authority to select individuals who were to receive options and to specify the terms and conditions of each option so granted, including the number of shares covered by the option, the exercise price, vesting provisions, and the overall option term. In January 2012, the 2006 Plan was discontinued; however, outstanding awards remain subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan and any shares that are subject to an option award that was previously granted under the 2006 Plan and that will expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise will become again available for issuance under the 2012 Plan. All of the options issued pursuant to the 2006 Plan expire ten years from the date of grant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued a total of 5,136 shares of non-vested (“restricted”) common stock under its 2012 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan with an aggregate grant date fair value of $225. As of June 30, 2014, aggregate fair value of unvested awards under the 2012 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan was $332. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next 1.3 years using the weighted average method.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued a total of 66,000 RSUs to certain key management personnel under the 2012 Plan. The fair value of the RSUs at the time of grant was $1,908. As of June 30, 2014, the aggregate fair value of unvested RSUs under the 2012 Plan was $1,713. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.4 years using the weighted average method.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted a total of 354,118 service-based awards in connection with the acquisitions of businesses completed during that period. The aggregate grant date fair value of the awards was $14,590. As of June 30, 2014, a total of 556,240 shares underlying service-based awards with an aggregate fair value of $18,779 were unvested and outstanding in connection with the Company’s acquisitions activity. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next 1.8 years using the weighted average method.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted performance-based awards in connection with the acquisitions completed during that period. Total number of the awards varies based on attainment of certain performance targets pursuant to provisions of the relevant purchase agreements. Typically, at the end of the performance period, one third of the awards granted immediately vest and convert to common stock. The remaining awards vest in equal installments on the second and third anniversaries from the date of grant. If an eligible employee leaves the Company prior to the vesting date, the unvested portion of the award will be forfeited. The Company periodically evaluates the achievement of the related performance conditions during requisite service period and the number of shares expected to be delivered, and resulting compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.
Summarized activity related to the Company’s performance-based awards for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was as follows:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Construction in progress — On December 7, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with IDEAB Project Eesti AS (“IDEAB”) for the construction of an office building within the High Technologies Park in Minsk, Belarus (the “Construction Agreement”). At the same time, the Company entered into a related investment agreement with the Minsk Executive Committee acting on behalf of the Republic of Belarus (the “Investment Agreement”) permitting the Company to use land located in the government’s High Technologies Park to construct the new office building and granting certain tax benefits. The Investment Agreement specified a completion deadline for construction of September 15, 2012 (later extended by the parties to December 31, 2014) which, if not met, may result in a monthly penalty and, if the Investment Agreement is terminated, disgorgement of certain tax benefits received by the Company in connection with the project and potential full restoration of the land to its original condition.
The Construction Agreement committed IDEAB to construct an office building for the Company in Minsk with a committed completion date of February 28, 2014. The building has been partially completed, but in April 2014, IDEAB stopped its construction for reasons unrelated to the Company’s performance under the Construction Agreement. In May 2014, IDEAB notified the Company that it was unable to continue as general contractor to complete the construction of the building in time and on the terms agreed. As a result, the Company took control over the construction site and is seeking alternatives to complete the project. On July 7, 2014, the Company provided IDEAB with notice of termination of the Construction Agreement. The effective date of termination was on or about July 11, 2014. The Company is evaluating its options to pursue recovery from IDEAB through legal proceedings.
At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $17,500 of capitalized construction costs and estimated up to $7,000 of additional investment required to complete the construction and put the building into operation. The Company estimates that an additional ten months will be needed for completion of the building construction. In addition, up to $4,500 of advance payments issued to IDEAB for future work and construction materials under the Construction Agreement may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2014, the Company estimated the amount of probable losses under the Construction Agreement at $2,000. These costs were recorded within the Company’s consolidated income from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Based on the information known to the Company at this time, any additional liability related to this matter is not reasonably estimable.
Indemnifications  In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These obligations typically arise in contracts where the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants for certain matters such as title to assets and intellectual property rights associated with the sale of products. The duration of these indemnifications varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite.
The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances of each agreement and the fact that certain indemnifications provide for no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the indemnification. Management is not aware of any such matters that historically had or would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Litigation — From time to time, the Company is involved with litigation, claims or other contingencies. Management is not aware of any such matters that would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company reports segment information based on the managerial responsibility for its client base. Because managerial responsibility for a particular client relationship generally correlates with the client’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between client locations and the geographic boundaries of the Company’s reportable segments. In some specific cases, however, managerial responsibility for a particular client is assigned to a management team in another region, usually based on the strength of the relationship between client executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In a case like this, the client’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment.
The Company’s reportable segments are North America, Europe, Russia and Other. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates its performance and allocates resources based on segment revenues and operating profit. Segment operating profit is defined as income from operations before unallocated costs. Generally, operating expenses for each operating segment have similar characteristics and are subject to similar factors, pressures and challenges. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. Certain expenses are not allocated to specific segments, as management does not believe it is practical to allocate such costs to individual segments because they are not directly attributable to any specific segment. Further, stock-based compensation expense is not allocated to individual segments in internal management reports used by the CODM. Accordingly, these expenses are separately disclosed as “unallocated” and adjusted only against the Company’s total income from operations.
Revenues from external customers and segment operating profit, before unallocated expenses, for the North America, Europe, Russia and Other reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were as follows:

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which impacts virtually all aspects of an entity’s revenue recognition. The ASU introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. To qualify as a discontinued operation the standard requires a disposal to represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The standard is effective prospectively for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements, but will impact the reporting of any future dispositions.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 is a new accounting standard on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new standard provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The new standard became effective for the periods commencing January 1, 2014, and it should be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date with retrospective application permitted. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Company’s financial conditions, results of operating and cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” in this item and “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.” We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.
In this quarterly report, “EPAM,” “EPAM Systems, Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to EPAM Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Executive Summary
We are a leading global IT services provider focused on complex software product development services, software engineering and vertically-oriented custom development solutions. Since our inception in 1993, we have been serving independent software vendors, or ISVs, and technology companies. The foundation we have built serving ISVs and technology companies has enabled us to differentiate ourselves in the market for software engineering skills and technology capabilities. Our work with these clients exposes us to their customers’ challenges across a variety of industry “verticals.” This has enabled us to develop vertical-specific domain expertise and grow our business in multiple industry verticals, including Banking and Financial Services, Business Information and Media, and Travel and Consumer.
We have client management locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Switzerland, Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Australia. Our clients primarily consist of Forbes Global 2000 corporations located in North America, Europe and the CIS. Our delivery centers in Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Poland and China are strategically located in centers of software engineering talent and educational excellence. The majority of our employees are located in these delivery centers with compensation and benefits related to this pool of resources being the primary component of our operating expenses. Additionally, our global delivery model and centralized support functions, combined with the benefits of scale from the shared use of fixed-cost resources, such as computers and office space, enhance our productivity levels and enable us to better manage efficiency of our global operations by maintaining adequate resource utilization levels and implementing company-wide cost-management programs. As a result, we have managed to create a relatively homogeneous delivery base whereby our applications, tools, methodologies and infrastructure allow us to seamlessly deliver services and solutions from our delivery centers to global clients across all geographies, thereby further strengthening our relationships with them.
Our focus on delivering quality to our clients is reflected by an average of 93.9% and 78.4% of our revenues in 2013 coming from clients that had used our services for at least one and two years, respectively.
Year-to-Date 2014 Developments and Trends
During the first half of 2014, our revenues were $335.1 million, an increase of approximately 30% over $257.4 million reported for the same period a year ago. Our performance remained strong across all of our key verticals, driving revenue growth in North America and Europe.
We remain committed to maintaining and improving a well-balanced portfolio of clients. During the first half of 2014, our top five and top ten customers accounted for 33.1% and 44.9% of consolidated revenues, respectively.
We seek to grow revenues by continually expanding the scope and size of our engagements, as well as by growing our key customer base through internal business development efforts and strategic acquisitions. During the first half of 2014, we made progress in this strategy and increased the reach of our offerings, both geographically and across industry verticals.
On March 5, 2014, we completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of U.S.-based healthcare technology consulting firm Netsoft Holdings, LLC and Armenia-based Ozsoft, LLC (collectively, “Netsoft”). Netsoft works with leading health plans in the U.S. on their medical management and claims systems, and specializes in working with leaders in pioneering fields such as accountable care organizations, tele-medicine, healthcare analytics, personalized medicine, health information exchanges, and online self-service capabilities. The Netsoft acquisition added approximately 40 IT professionals to our headcount.
On April 30, 2014, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Joint Technology Development Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Jointech Software (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of China, and Jointech Software Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore

(collectively, “Jointech”). Jointech provides strategic technology services to multi-national organizations in investment banking, wealth and asset management. The acquisition of Jointech added over 200 IT professionals to our headcount and significantly extended our footprint in South-East Asia. With this acquisition, we expect to create an integrated global platform focused on serving large multinational customers within the Banking and Financial Services vertical, and extend our global value proposition in the region.
On June 6, 2014, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of each of GGA Software Services, LLC, Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Inc., and GGA’s Russian affiliate (collectively, “GGA”). Established in 1994, GGA develops best-in-class scientific informatics applications and content databases; creates state-of-the-art algorithms and models; and delivers IT support, maintenance, and QA services to the worlds leading healthcare and life sciences companies, including eight of the top ten largest pharmaceutical companies. The acquisition added over 300 IT professionals and over 120 scientists to our highly-experienced employee base and created a significant growth opportunity in the Life Sciences and Healthcare industry verticals. We also see tremendous potential in combining our traditionally recognized strengths with GGAs algorithm development, mathematical modeling, and sophisticated content database development capabilities. The capability to develop and operationalize platforms, combining tools, models and data, has broad applications across other strategic industries on which EPAM focuses, including the Banking and Financial Services, Business Information and Media, and Retail and Consumer verticals.

The key highlights of our consolidated results for the second quarter of 2014 and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2013, were as follows:
The European geography continued its strong performance, generating revenue growth of $20.5 million and $42.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, or 42.9% and 45.7%, respectively, over the corresponding periods of 2013;
Revenue increased in all our key verticals, and in particular within the Banking and Financial Services and Travel and Consumer verticals, which grew $17.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2014 over the corresponding period of 2013, and $31.9 million and $16.9 million on a year-to-date basis.
Our organic growth was complemented by three completed strategic acquisitions which expanded our highly skilled employee base, geographic footprint and service capabilities. In addition, we added capabilities in the Healthcare and Life Sciences vertical forming a foundation for emerging verticals.
Income from operations grew by 5.4% and 22.0% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations decreased by 2.6% and 0.8% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, over the corresponding periods in 2013. The decrease was due to a combination of factors, including an increase of over $2.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.6 million increase in amortization expenses related to our 2014 acquisitions, and a $2.0 million writedown of prepaid assets to adjust the book value of prepaid construction costs to an estimated recoverable amount.
Net income increased by 4.9% during the second quarter of 2014 compared with the corresponding period of 2013. On a year-to-date basis, the net income increased by 20.1% over the corresponding period of 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, our net income decreased by 2.1% and 0.8% during the three and six months ended, respectively, due to the items noted above, as well as the adverse effects of higher effective tax rate and foreign exchange rate changes in 2014 when compared to last year.
The operating results in any period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, we discuss the following key measures that are not calculated according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”):
Income from operations, as reported on our consolidated and condensed statements of income and comprehensive income, excluding certain expenses and benefits, which we refer to as “non-GAAP income from operations.”
Non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of reported revenues, which we refer to as “non-GAAP operating margin.”
We believe that these non-GAAP measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business, and we use these measures to establish budgets and operational goals (communicated internally and externally), manage our business and evaluate our performance. We also believe these measures help investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods and compare our operating results with those of similar companies. We exclude certain expenses and benefits from non-GAAP income from operations that we believe are not reflective of these underlying business trends and are not useful measures in determining our operational performance and overall business strategy. Because our reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated according to GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures reported by other companies within our industry. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation from or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but, rather, should be considered together with our consolidated and condensed financial statements, which are prepared according to GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of income from operations as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income to non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

From time to time, we acquire businesses and incur operating expenses which we would not otherwise have incurred. Such expenses include acquisition-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets. These costs are dependent on a number of factors and are generally inconsistent in amount and frequency, as well as significantly impacted by the timing and size of related acquisitions. Additionally, the size, complexity and volume of past acquisitions, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and volume of future transactions. Amortization of purchased intangible assets is excluded from our non-GAAP measures to allow management to evaluate our operating results as if these assets have been developed internally rather than acquired in a business combination. We believe this approach provides a supplemental measure of performance in which the acquired intangible assets are treated in a manner comparable to the internally developed assets.
Stock-based compensation expense is excluded from our non-GAAP measures because we believe such exclusion allows for a more accurate comparison of our operating results among the periods, as well as enhances comparability with operating results of peer companies.
We also exclude certain other expenses and one-time charges because we believe they are not indicative of what we consider to be organic, continuing operations. Such items include goodwill impairment write-offs, legal settlement expenses, and certain other non-cash one-time charges.
See our “Results of Operations” section below for a more detailed discussion and analysis of these charges.

We have significant international operations, and we earn revenues and incur expenses in multiple currencies. When important to management’s analysis, operating results are compared in “constant currency terms”, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The effect of rate fluctuations is excluded by translating the current period’s revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison. See Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this report for a discussion of our exposure to exchange rates.
Effects of Inflation
Economies in CIS countries such as Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine have periodically experienced high rates of inflation.
Ukraine has been recently undergoing heightened political and economic turmoil. Yearly inflation, by various estimates, is forecasted to reach 14% to 16% by the end of 2014. Despite $3.2 billion received from the International Monetary Fund and additional $13 billion pledged by other international organizations and countries in 2014, the negative outlook in Ukraine’s economy continues.
In addition, in March 2014, several credit rating agencies revised their outlook on Russia to negative to reflect potential material and unanticipated financial and economic consequences of sanctions that the European Union and United States may impose in connection with situation in the Crimea region.
In February 2014, the government of Kazakhstan devalued the local currency, tenge, by 19%. The government is currently forecasting inflation of 6% to 8% in 2014, however, political and economic instability in the region contribute to the economic uncertainty in Kazakhstan.
Over a three-year period ended December 31, 2013, significant inflation has been reported in Belarus. The National Statistical Committee of Belarus estimated that inflation was approximately 118.3% in 2013 and it continued to ramp during the first half of 2014. The measures currently used by the Belarusian government to control this recent inflation include monetary policy and pricing instruments, including increasing interest rates and the use of anti-monopoly laws to prevent the increase in pricing of goods, as well as privatization and using foreign borrowings to replenish the budget and stabilize local currency. Inflation, government actions to combat inflation and public speculation about possible additional actions have also contributed materially to economic uncertainty in Belarus. Belarus may experience high levels of inflation in the future. In the first half of 2014, we had approximately $0.9 million, or 0.3%, of our revenues denominated in Belarusian rubles.
Periods of higher inflation may slow economic growth in those countries. Inflation also is likely to increase some of our costs and expenses, which we may not be able to pass on to our clients and, as a result, may reduce our profitability. Inflationary pressures could also affect our ability to access financial markets and lead to counter-inflationary measures that may harm our financial condition, results of operations or adversely affect the market price of our securities.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Revenues
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, our revenues grew in excess of 30.0% over the corresponding periods in 2013, to a record $174.7 million and $335.1 million of revenues, respectively. The increase was attributable to a combination of factors, including deeper penetration to existing customers and attainment of new customers, both organically and through acquisitions, which became accretive to our revenues from the date of acquisition.
During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues in North America, our largest geography, grew $18.4 million and $34.7 million, or 27.0% and 26.5%, respectively, over the same periods last year. Expressed as a percentage of consolidated revenues, the North America geography accounted for 49.6% and 49.4% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which represented a decrease of 1.6% and 1.5% over the corresponding periods in 2013. The decrease was primarily a result of accelerated growth in Europe.
Revenues from our Travel and Consumer vertical increased by $3.0 million, or 23.9%, in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period of 2013, and $8.3 million, or 36.1%, on a year-to-date basis. The increase in this vertical was primarily driven by the fast expansion of our strategic relationship with a large retail chain, which we acquired in 2012. This customer has been one of our top ten customers since the second quarter of 2013. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from this customer accounted for 12.2% and 17.3% of total revenue growth in North America, respectively.
During the first half of 2014 we continued our focus on creating synergies with customers in other verticals, including such industry segments as Healthcare Insurance and Life Sciences. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, combined revenues from customers in the Other vertical accounted for $6.9 million, or 37.3%, and $12.3 million, or 35.5%, of the overall growth in the North America geography, respectively.

Table of Contents

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from the Business Information and Media vertical increased by $3.4 million, or 25.5%, and $5.9 million, or 22.0%, over the corresponding periods of 2013. The growth in this vertical in 2014 was attributable to additional revenue streams created by our 2012 acquisitions, as well as resumed growth in revenues from certain long-time customers, including Thomson Reuters. Our ISVs and Technology vertical accounted for 19.2% and 16.1% of total growth during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, our Banking and Financial Services vertical remained our dominant vertical in Europe and accounted for 56.4% and 61.3%, respectively, of overall revenue growth in this geography. During the second quarter and first half of 2014, revenues from the Banking and Financial Services vertical increased $11.6 million, or 47.9%, and $26.1 million, or 57.2%, respectively, over the corresponding periods of 2013. It was also our largest and fastest growing vertical on a consolidated basis. Continued solid performance of the Banking and Financial Services vertical was attributable to an increased demand for our services and ongoing relationships with existing customers located in Europe. In particular, 19.9% and 26.5% of consolidated revenue growth during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was attributable to increased business from certain our largest customers located in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Furthermore, we continue to see growing demand for our services from European-based customers within the Travel and Consumer and Business Information and Media verticals. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, combined revenues from these verticals increased by $6.3 million and $12.0 million, respectively, over the corresponding periods last year and accounted for 30.9% and 28.1% of total growth in this geography during periods indicated.
Revenues in the CIS geography decreased $0.8 million, or 5.4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2014, and $3.5 million, or 11.4%, on a year-to-date basis as compared to the corresponding periods of 2013. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to revenue recognition delays related to fixed-price projects, budgetary delays with certain customers located in Russia, as well as decline in revenues from one of our largest customers in Kazakhstan.
Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $110.1 million representing an increase of 31.8% over the corresponding period of 2013. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased by 0.3% to 63.0% of consolidated revenues.
An increase in cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the second quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by a $25.8 million increase in personnel-related costs, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million. The increase was mainly attributable to a 16.7% growth in the average production headcount as compared with the second quarter of 2013.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $212.6 million representing an increase of 31.6% over the corresponding period of 2013. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), increased 0.7% over the corresponding period of 2013, to 63.4% of consolidated revenues.
An increase in cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the first half of 2014 was primarily driven by a $49.4 million increase in personnel-related costs, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a 13.7% growth in the average production headcount as compared to the same period last year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
We continued to invest in key areas, including sales, infrastructure, industry expertise, and other functions supporting global operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.7 million representing an increase of 35.5% over the corresponding period of 2013. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.7% over the corresponding period of 2013, to 22.1% of consolidated revenues.
An increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by a $7.1 million increase in personnel-related costs. This was mainly due to a 18.0% growth in the average non-production headcount as compared to the same period last year. In addition, we incurred $1.3 million of costs related to our 2014 acquisitions, including $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, which resulted in a 0.7% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues. This was partially offset by increased efficiencies in utilization of shared resources, and, to a lesser extent, favorable exchange rate movements in the CIS region.

27

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses were $71.0 million, representing an increase of 27.7% over last year. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 0.4% to 21.2% of consolidated revenues. The decrease in year-to-date selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to increased efficiencies in utilization of shared resources and, to a lesser extent, favorable exchange rate movements in the CIS region. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in acquisition-related costs and stock-based compensation expense related to our 2014 acquisitions.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, depreciation and amortization expense was $5.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively, as compared to $3.9 million and $7.5 million in the corresponding periods last year. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased 0.2% and decreased 0.2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared with the corresponding periods of 2013, which was mainly due to amortization of intangible assets related to our 2014 acquisitions, partially offset by significantly higher non-recurring capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2013.
Other Operating Expenses, Net
In the second quarter of 2014 we recorded a $2.0 million writedown in prepaid assets related to the construction of our corporate facilities in Belarus. Please see Note 11 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements” for further information.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Net interest and other income was $1.2 million and $2.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, representing an increase of $0.4 million and $0.7 million when compared to the corresponding periods last year. The increase was primarily driven by interest paid on cash accounts in Belarus and, to a lesser extent, interest earned on employee housing loans.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our worldwide effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, was 19.5% and 19.0%, respectively, and 19.5% and 19.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Movements in our worldwide effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2013, were primarily due to (a) a larger portion of our pre-tax profits attributable to tax jurisdictions with relatively higher effective tax rates (as compared to effective tax rates in the CIS region); (b) a relative shift in offshore services performed in Belarus, where we are currently entitled to a 100% exemption from Belarusian income tax, to other countries in the CIS region (specifically Ukraine, and, to a lesser extent, Russia), both of which have higher income tax rates than Belarus; (c) adjustments to the statutory rates in several countries (primarily the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Hungary); and (d) the second quarter 2014 acquisitions which added new tax jurisdictions into our worldwide effective tax rate analysis.
Results by Business Segment
Our operations consist of four reportable segments: North America, Europe, Russia and Other. The segments represent components of EPAM for which separate financial information is available that is used on a regular basis by our chief executive officer, who is also our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in determining how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. This determination is based on the unique business practices and market specifics of each region and that each region engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses. Our reportable segments are based on managerial responsibility for a particular client. Because managerial responsibility for a particular client relationship generally correlates with the client’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between client locations and the geographic boundaries of our reportable segments. In some specific cases, however, managerial responsibility for a particular client is assigned to a management team in another region, usually based on the strength of the relationship between client executives and particular members of our senior management team. In a case like this, the client’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment. Our CODM evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on segment revenues and operating profit.
Segment operating profit is defined as income from operations before unallocated costs. Generally, operating expenses for each operating segment have similar characteristics and are subject to similar factors, pressures and challenges. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. We use globally integrated support organizations to realize economies of scale and efficient use of resources. As a result, a majority of our expenses is shared by all segments. These shared expenses include Delivery,

28

Table of Contents

Recruitment and Development, Sales and Marketing, and support functions such as IT, Finance, Legal, and Human Resources. Generally, shared expenses are allocated based on measurable drivers of expense, e.g., recorded hours or headcount. However, certain expenses are not specifically allocated to specific segments, as management does not believe it is practical to allocate such costs to individual segments because they are not directly attributable to any specific segment. Further, stock based compensation expense is not allocated to individual segments in internal management reports used by the chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, these expenses are separately disclosed as “unallocated” and adjusted only against our total income from operations.
Revenues from external clients and segment operating profit, before unallocated expenses, for the North America, Europe, Russia and Other reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

North America Segment
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from our North America segment were 50.5% of total revenues representing an increase of $19.2 million, or 27.8%, over the corresponding period in 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, segment operating profits increased $5.3 million, or 32.8%, as compared to the same period last year, to $21.5 million net operating profit.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from our North America segment were 50.3% of total revenue representing an increase of $36.3 million, or 27.5%, over the corresponding period of 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, segment operating profits increased $9.3 million, or 30.7%, as compared to the first half of 2013, to $39.7 million net operating profit.
The increase in revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily driven by continued expansion of existing customer relationships, and to a lesser extent, by revenues from new clients. Furthermore, this quarter 2014 and year-to-date operating results of the North America operating segment benefited from our recent acquisitions of Netsoft and GGA. As a percentage of revenues, the North America segment’s operating profit was 24.4% and 23.6% during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and 23.5% and 23.0% in the corresponding periods last year.
Europe Segment
Europe continues to be a rapidly growing segment in our portfolio, given our nearshore delivery capabilities, and our value proposition in delivering quality software engineering solutions and services. Our business model continues to gain considerable traction with European-based clients primarily in the Banking and Financial Services and Travel and Consumer verticals. Furthermore, our second quarter 2014 and year-to-date results also benefited from the acquisition of Jointech, a company with locations in South-East Asia, which created a new value proposition for our existing customers within the Banking and Financial Services vertical, particularly in the areas of investment banking, wealth and asset management, and extended our reach with that customers into new geography. We expect that many of our new and existing customers in other business verticals will use our services in that fast-growing region resulting in possible revenue and operating profit increases to the Europe segment.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from our Europe segment were 40.9% of total segment revenues representing an increase of $23.1 million, or 47.7%, over the corresponding period of 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, segment operating profits increased $1.6 million, or 19.7%, as compared to the corresponding period of 2013, to $9.7 million net operating profit.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from our Europe segment were 41.6% of total segment revenues representing an increase of $44.6 million, or 47.2%, over the corresponding period of 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, segment operating profits increased $7.4 million, or 44.6%, as compared to the corresponding period of 2013, to $23.8 million net operating profit.
Russia and Other Segments
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from our Russia segment were $13.4 million representing a decrease of $0.1 million over the corresponding period of 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, operating profits of the Russia segment increased $0.5 million as compared to the same period last year, to $2.2 million of net operating profit.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from our Other segment were $1.5 million representing a decrease of $0.7 million over the corresponding period of 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, operating profits of the Other segments decreased $0.8 million over the same period last year, to $0.9 million of operating losses.
On a year-to-date basis, revenues from the Russia and Other operating segments decreased $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2013. Operating profits of the Russia and Other segments decreased $1.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, when compared with the operating profits of these segments in the corresponding period a year ago.
Revenues and operating profits in the Russia and Other segments are subject to volatility resulting from revenue recognition delays related to finalizing budgets for certain arrangements with major customers in those segments. If recognized, such revenues would improve the operating margin of the Russia segment by approximately 2.2% and 9.2% in the second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively. We were unable to estimate revenues attributable to the services rendered under certain arrangements with our largest customer in the Other segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and cannot provide assurance these revenues will be recognized in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
At June 30, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $175.1 million and $40.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving line of credit. As of that date, $156.2 million of our total cash and cash equivalents was held outside the United States. Of this amount, $91.4 million was held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts in Belarus, including deposits that accrued interest at an average interest rate of 4.2% during the first half of 2014. Our subsidiaries in the CIS or APAC do not maintain significant balances denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
We have a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). Effective January 15, 2013, we entered into a new agreement with the Bank (the “2013 Credit Facility”) which increased our borrowing capacity under the revolving line of credit from $30.0 million to $40.0 million and extended the maturity of the facility to January 15, 2015. Advances under the new line of credit accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.25%. The 2013 Credit Facility is secured by all of our domestic tangible and intangible assets, as well as by 100% of the stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The line of credit also contains customary financial and reporting covenants and limitations. We are currently in compliance with all covenants contained in our revolving line of credit and believe that our revolving line of credit provides sufficient flexibility such that we will remain in compliance with its terms in the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.
The cash and cash equivalents held at locations outside of the United States are for future operating expenses and we have no intention of repatriating those funds. We are not, however, restricted in repatriating those funds back to the United States, if necessary. If we decide to remit funds to the United States in the form of dividends, $156.2 million would be subject to foreign withholding taxes, of which $144.2 million would also be subject to U.S. corporate income tax. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents held in the United States and cash flow to be generated from domestic operations will be adequate to satisfy our domestic liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. Our ability to expand and grow our business in accordance with current plans and to meet our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate, if any, at which our cash flows increase, our continued intent not to repatriate earnings from outside the U.S. and the

availability of public and private debt and equity financing. To the extent we pursue one or more significant strategic acquisitions, we may incur debt or sell additional equity to finance those acquisitions.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operations during the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $36.8 million to $33.0 million, as compared to $3.8 million net cash used by operations in the corresponding period of 2013. First half 2014 operating cash flows benefited, in part, from our strong focus on improving working capital efficiencies during the latter part of 2013, including focus on reducing days outstanding for our billed and unbilled receivables. Coupled with strong growth in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding period of 2013, this resulted in an approximately 33% increase in customer collections year-over-year. This increase more than offset the higher working capital requirements associated with increased revenues, including growth in total compensations and benefits of our IT professionals, overhead expenses, and higher tax payments.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $19.2 million to $33.2 million as compared to $14.0 million used in investing activities during the corresponding period of 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to $26.5 million spent on acquisitions of businesses, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in capital investments as compared to the corresponding period last year, combined with a net $4.4 million decrease in loans issued under the Employee Housing Program.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased $1.0 million to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily attributable to lesser proceeds received by us as a result of stock option exercises and associated tax benefits, as compared to the same period last year.
