Business Context and Reporting Period
Genpact Limited filed a Form 8-K on January 20, 2010, reporting a material definitive agreement entered into on the same date. The filing concerns an amendment to the Master Services Agreement (MSA) between Genpact International, Inc. and General Electric Company (GE).
Key Financial Metrics and Agreement Terms
The filing details specific volume commitments and contract terms rather than historical financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, or cash flow.
- Contract Extension: The MSA term is extended by two years, now running through December 31, 2016.
- Minimum Annual Volume Commitment:
- Current commitment: $360 million.
- 2014: $250 million.
- 2015: $150 million.
- 2016: $90 million.
- Cost Commitments: The amendment includes specific productivity and price reduction commitments from Genpact, including volume discounts based on increases in overall GE revenues.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The filing does not provide comparative financial data or a discussion of material changes in Genpact's overall financial position versus the prior period. The primary change reported is the extension of the GE contract term and the adjustment of minimum volume commitments for the years 2014 through 2016.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain general business guidance or outlook. However, it notes that the summary is qualified by the full text of the MSA amendment, which will be filed as an exhibit to Genpact's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The agreement imposes specific price reduction and productivity obligations on Genpact.
