Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP measures are not in
accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with,
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and may be
different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these
non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or
principles. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP
measures are included in the attached financial tables. 

iGATE believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not
reflect all of the amounts associated with iGATE's results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used
to evaluate iGATE's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding
GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in
nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more
important than comparable GAAP measures. 

iGATE believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in addition to the related GAAP measures
provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by iGATE's
management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP
measures are also used by management in connection with iGATE's performance
compensation programs. 

More specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures contained herein exclude the
following items: 

  -- Amortization of intangible assets: Intangible assets comprise value of
     customer relationships from the recent Patni acquisition and the previous
     delisting of iGATE's Indian subsidiary. iGATE incurs charges relating to
     the amortization of these intangibles. These charges are included in
     iGATE's GAAP presentation of earnings from operations, operating margin,
     net income and diluted earnings per share. iGATE excludes these charges for
     purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures.
  -- Stock-based compensation: Although stock-based compensation is an important
     aspect of the compensation of iGATE's employees and executives, determining
     the fair value of the stock-based instruments involves a high degree of
     judgment and estimation and the expense recorded may not reflect the actual
     value realized upon the future exercise or termination of the related
     stock-based awards. Furthermore, unlike cash compensation, the value of
     stock-based compensation is determined using a complex formula that
     incorporates factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our
     control. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based
     compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our
     core business.
  -- Acquisition expenses: iGATE incurs costs related to its acquisitions, which
     are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by
     the timing and nature of iGATE's acquisitions. iGATE believes that
     eliminating these expenses for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP
     measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of iGATE's current
     operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance.
  -- Forex gain: The Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to
     mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on payments related
     to the acquisition of Patni. We also recognized favorable foreign currency
     gain on re-measurement of escrow account balance maintained for
     facilitating payments related to Patni acquisition. iGATE believes that
     eliminating the non-capitalized items for purposes of calculating these
     non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of iGATE's
     current performance and comparisons to its past performance.
  -- Severance Cost: As a result of the acquisition of Patni, iGATE incurred
     severance costs in connection with the termination of the services of some
     of Patni's employees.
  -- Delisting expenses: iGATE is voluntarily delisting the equity shares of its
     majority owned subsidiary, Patni from the National Stock Exchange of India
     Limited and the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and the American Depository
     Shares from the New York Stock Exchange. Delisting is an infrequent
     activity and expenses incurred in connection therein are inconsistent in
     amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of the
     delisting. iGATE believes that eliminating these expenses for purposes of
     calculating these non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful
     evaluation of iGATE's current operating performance and comparisons to its
     past operating performance.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items that iGATE may
exclude in presenting its financial results.

The company presents the non-GAAP financial measure adjusted EBITDA because,    
 management uses this measure to monitor                                        
and evaluate the performance of the business and believes the presentation of   
 this measure will enhance the investors' ability                               
to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company's underlying         
 performance relative to other companies in the industry.                       

Non-GAAP Disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to iGATE Corporation plus (i)
depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, (iii) income tax expense,
minus (iv) other income, net plus (v) foreign exchange loss, (v) stock based
compensation (vi) acquisition expenses (vii) severance expenses and (viii)
delisting expenses.  We eliminated the impact of the above as we do not
consider them as indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These
adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these
adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental
analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future
we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the
adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should
not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by
unusual or non-recurring items. 

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts
in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by
excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating
performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA: [(i) as a factor in
evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation,
(ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and (iii) because
our credit agreement and our indenture use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA
to measure our compliance with certain covenants. 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these
limitations are: 

  -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future
     requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our
     working capital needs;
  -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the
     cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on
     our debts; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the
     assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in
     the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for
     such replacements; non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element
     of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we
     exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance
     for a particular period; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of
     certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be
     indicative of our ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry
     may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its
     usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance
with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP
results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
