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 acquisition of iGATE Computer
     Systems Limited (formerly known as Patni Computer Systems Limited and
     referred to herein as "Patni") and the recent 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
     component of 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 the
     Company's control. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based
     compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of
     iGATE's 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.
  -- Foreign Exchange 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. The Company also recognized
     favorable foreign currency gain on re-measurement of escrow account balance
     maintained for facilitating payments related to the 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.

In March 2012, the Company entered into a forward foreign exchange contract to
mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on payments related to
the delisting of Patni. During the year 2012, the Company recognized foreign
currency loss on re-measurement of escrow account balance and foreign exchange
gain on re-measurement of redeemable non-controlling interest liability. 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. iGATE believes that eliminating these severance costs
     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.
  -- Delisting expenses: iGATE voluntarily delisted 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 with the delisting 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.
  -- Merger and reorganization expenses: iGATE is merging and reorganizing its
     overseas subsidiaries and branches with a view to simplifying the corporate
     structure and has incurred legal and professional expenses in this
     connection. Merger and reorganization is an infrequent activity and
     expenses incurred in connection therein are inconsistent in amount and
     significantly impacted by the timing and nature of the reorganization.
     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.
  -- Preferred dividend and accretion to preferred stock: The Company has issued
     8.00% Series B Preferred Stock. The Company also incurred issuance costs
     which have been netted against the proceeds received from the issuance of
     Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is being accreted
     over a period of six years. The Company 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.

Non-GAAP Disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA

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

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

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

  -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect iGATE's cash expenditures or future
     requirements of cash for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for,
     iGATE's working capital needs; and
  -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the
     cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on
     iGATE's debts; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
     the assets being depreciated and amortized will often need 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 iGATE's overall long-term incentive compensation package,
     although iGATE excludes it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing
     operating performance for a particular period; Adjusted EBITDA does not
     reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters iGATE
     considers not to be indicative of its ongoing operations; and other
     companies in iGATE's industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently
     than iGATE does, 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. iGATE compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its
GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
