Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, for Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018 were:
(1) Audit fees were primarily for professional services rendered for (a) the annual audits of our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying attestation report regarding our ICFR contained in our Annual Report on Form 10- K, (b) the review of quarterly financial information included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, (c) audit services related to mergers and acquisitions and offering documents, and (d) annual statutory audits where applicable.
(2) Audit-related fees were primarily for assurance and related services, such as the review of non-periodic filings with the SEC.
(3) Tax fees were for services related to tax compliance, including the preparation of tax returns, tax planning and tax advice.
(4) All other fees consist of fees for services other than the services reported in audit fees, audit-related fees, and tax fees.
OpenText's Audit Committee has established a policy of reviewing, in advance, and either approving or not approving, all audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services that our independent registered public accounting firm provides to us. This policy requires that all services received from our independent registered public accounting firm be approved in advance by the Audit Committee or a delegate of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated the pre-approval responsibility to the Chair of the Audit Committee. All services that KPMG LLP provided to us in Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018 have been preapproved by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of the services as set out above is compatible with the maintaining of KPMG LLP's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following (in millions):
Contract Assets
A contract asset represents our expectation of receiving consideration in exchange for products or services that we have transferred to our client. Contract assets and liabilities, or deferred revenues, are determined and presented on a net basis at the contract level since the rights and obligations in a contract with a client are interdependent. In contrast, a receivable is our right to consideration that is unconditional except for the passage of time required before payment of that consideration is due. The difference in timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, contract assets and deferred revenues from client advances and deposits. We account for receivables in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Receivables (“ASC 310”), and assess both contract assets and receivables for impairment in accordance with ASC 310. There were no impairment charges related to contract assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Our short-term contract assets are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our long-term contract assets are included in Other non-current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 11 — Other Non-Current Assets.

Answer: 4.7
Calculation: 19.5-14.8
Gross Profit and Gross Margin (exclusive of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets described below)
Our gross profit by reportable segment was as follows (dollars in millions):
(1) Certain of the amounts may not total due to rounding of individual amounts. (2) Unallocated manufacturing costs are presented as a percentage of total revenue (includes expensing of the fair market value step-up of inventory of $19.6 million during 2019 and $1.0 million during 2018).
The decrease in gross profit of $265.1 million, or approximately 12%, was primarily due to the impact of the decrease in sales volume, higher fixed costs due to the expansion in our manufacturing capacity as well as the expensing of $19.6 million excess over book value of inventory, commonly referred to as the fair market value step-up, from the Quantenna acquisition.
Gross margin decreased to 35.8% during 2019 compared to 38.1% during 2018. The decrease was due to a competitive pricing environment resulting in a decline in average selling prices, higher demand for lower margin products, increased manufacturing costs due to a higher mix of external manufacturing and decreased demand for our products, as explained in the revenue section.

Pension benefit commitments
For fiscal 2019, Managing Board members were granted contributions under the BSAV totaling € 5.6 million (2018: € 5.4 million), based on a Supervisory Board decision from November 7, 2019. Of this amount, € 0.02 million (2018: € 0.03 million) relates to the funding of pension commitments earned prior to the transfer to the BSAV.
The expense recognized in fiscal 2019 as a service cost under IFRS for Managing Board members’ entitlements under the BSAV in fiscal 2019 totaled € 5.4 million (2018: € 5.3 million).
Contributions under the BSAV are added to the individual pension accounts in the January following each fiscal year. Until pension payments begin, members’ pension accounts are credited with an annual interest payment (guaranteed interest) on January 1 of each year. The interest rate is currently 0.90%.
The following table shows the individualized contributions (allocations) under the BSAV for fiscal 2019 as well as the defined benefit obligations for pension commitments:
In fiscal 2019, former members of the Managing Board and their surviving dependents received emoluments within the meaning of Section 314 para. 1 No. 6 b of the German Commercial Code totaling € 21.09 million (2018: € 39.9 million).
The defined benefit obligation (DBO) of all pension commitments to former members of the Managing Board and their surviving dependents as of September 30, 2019, amounted to €175.7 million (2018: €168.2 million). This figure is included in NOTE 17 in B.6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
1 Deferred compensation totals € 4,125,612 (2018: € 4,115,237), including € 3,703,123 for Joe Kaeser (2018: € 3,694,439), € 361,494 for Klaus Helmrich (2018: € 362,606) and € 60,995 for Prof. Dr. Ralf P. Thomas (2018: € 58,192).
2 In accordance with the provisions of the BSAV, benefits to be paid to Lisa Davis are not in any way secured or funded through the trust associated with the Company’s BSAV plan or with any other trust. They represent only an unsecured, unfunded legal obligation on the part of the Company to pay such benefits in the future under certain conditions, and the payout will only be made from the Company’s general assets.

Question: What is the current interest rate?
Answer: 0.90%
The movement of contract liabilities is mainly caused by the timing difference of the satisfaction of a performance of obligation and the consideration received from customers.
The Company recognized NT$3,815 million and NT$616 million, respectively, in revenues from the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period as performance obligations were satisfied for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019.

Key management1 compensation
1 Key management comprises the directors of intu properties plc and the Executive Committee who have been designated as persons discharging managerial responsibility (PDMR).
During 2017 the Group’s joint ventures in intu Puerto Venecia and intu Asturias sold shares in subsidiaries, previously wholly owned by the respective joint ventures, listed on the Spanish MaB to PDMRs of the Group. The total value of the shares at 31 December 2019 is €1.0 million for each joint venture, representing 1 per cent of the respective outstanding share capital. The sale of shares in these entities was required to comply with Spanish MaB free float listing requirements. The Group provided an interest-free loan to PDMRs to enable them to purchase the shares. The loans are treated as a taxable benefit which accordingly is included in the above table. In line with the terms of the relevant loan agreements entered into, the loans are repayable in full upon cessation of employment or the sale of the underlying assets. Further to the exchange of contracts in respect of the sale of intu Puerto Venecia in December 2019 and of intu Asturias in January 2020, the relevant PDMRs sold these shareholdings in January 2020 and February 2020 respectively. All outstanding loans in respect of the above arrangements have been repaid to the Company in full or in part. For those loans which have been partially repaid, the outstanding balance has been written off by the Company.

Performance
Free Cash Flow was £54.9m in FY19 compared to £92.4m in FY18, the decrease primarily reflecting the impact of US cash flows. This represents a conversion rate of 36% of Adjusted EBITDA (FY18: 45%). Excluding the US cash flows, Free Cash Flow Conversion increased to 47% from 33% in FY18, driven by improved EBITDA, lower working capital outflows, lower interest costs and lower exceptional cashflows.
Several other factors had a specific impact on cash flow during FY19. These included the effects of the disposal of the US business and associated capital restructuring, as well as the timing of dividend payments.
Net Debt decreased to £288.5m from £501.1m at the end of FY18. The Group’s Net Debt:EBITDA leverage as measured under financing agreements was 1.8x at year end. This compared to 1.9x at the end of March 2019 and 2.3x at the end of September 2018. This outturn includes the increased debt associated with the Freshtime acquisition completed in early September 2019. As at 27 September 2019, the Group had committed facilities of £506m with a weighted average maturity of 4.0 years.
ROIC was 14.4% for the 12 months ended 27 September 2019, compared to 15.6% for the 12 months ended 28 September 2018. The reduction was primarily driven by increased investment, in particular the timing of the acquisition of Freshtime and was so impacted by an increased tax rate.

Sales-Type Leases
We are the lessor in sales-type lease arrangements for network equipment, which have initial terms of up to five years. Our sales-type lease arrangements contain either a provision whereby the network equipment reverts back to us upon the expiration of the lease or a provision that allows the lessee to purchase the network equipment at a bargain purchase amount at the end of the lease. In addition, our sales-type lease arrangements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The allocation of the consideration between lease and nonlease components is determined by stand-alone selling price by component. The net investment in sales-type leases consists of lease receivables less unearned income. Collectability of sales-type leases is evaluated periodically at an individual customer level. The Company has elected to exclude taxes related to sales-type leases from revenue and the associated expense of such taxes. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not have an allowance for credit losses for our net investment in sales-type leases. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the components of the net investment in sales-type leases were as follows:
(1) Included in other receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(2) Included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
