NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2025
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1— BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “OpenText” or the “Company.” We wholly own all of our subsidiaries with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa), which as of March 31, 2025, was 70 % owned by OpenText. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company's fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “Fiscal” refers to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to “Fiscal 2025” refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.
Beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company reclassified expenses of $ 7.5 million and $ 23.1 million, respectively, from Research and development to Sales and marketing in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to provide a better representation of the function of the expenses. We also reclassified prior period information to conform to current presentation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, key estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based compensation, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, (x) the valuation of pension obligations and pension assets, (xi) the valuation of available-for-sale investments, (xii) the valuation of derivative instruments and (xiii) the accounting for disposals of assets and liabilities.
Divestiture of AMC Business
On May 1, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Application Modernization and Connectivity (AMC) business to Rocket Software, Inc. (Rocket Software), for $ 2.275 billion in cash before taxes, fees and other adjustments (the AMC Divestiture). See Note 17 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for more details. The Company determined that the AMC business did not constitute a component, as its operations and cash flows could not be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company’s operations and cash flows due to significant shared costs. Therefore, the transaction did not meet the discontinued operations criteria, and the results of operations from the AMC business were presented within Income from operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income up to the date of disposition.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted in Fiscal 2025
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which provides guidance to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU must be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 on the Company’s financial disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” that addresses requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU must be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 on the Company’s financial disclosures.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40),” which requires additional disclosures of specific expense categories included within income statement expense captions. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied on a prospective basis with the option for retrospective application, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Company’s financial disclosures.

(1) Americas consists of countries in North, Central and South America.
(2) EMEA consists of countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
(3) Asia Pacific primarily consists of Japan, Australia, China, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, India and New Zealand.
(4) Recurring revenue is defined as the sum of Cloud services and subscriptions revenue and Customer support revenue.
Contract Balances
A contract asset, net of allowance for credit losses, will be recorded if we have recognized revenue but do not have an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer. For example, this will be the case if implementation services offered in a cloud arrangement are identified as a separate performance obligation and are provided to a customer prior to us being able to bill the customer. In addition, a contract asset may arise in relation to subscription licenses if the license revenue that is recognized upfront exceeds the amount that we are able to invoice the customer at that time. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.
The balance for our contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e. deferred revenues) for the periods indicated below were as follows:
As of March 31, 2025 As of June 30, 2024
Short-term contract assets
$ 70,878 $ 66,450
Long-term contract assets
47,961 38,684
Short-term deferred revenues
1,526,829 1,521,416
Long-term deferred revenues
171,890 162,401
The difference in the opening and closing balances of our contract assets and deferred revenues primarily results from the timing difference between our performance and customer payments. We fulfill our obligations under a contract with a customer

Table of Contents
by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025, we reclassified $ 82.1 million (nine months ended March 31, 2024 — $ 90.6 million) of contract assets to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, there was no impairment loss recognized related to contract assets.
We recognize deferred revenue when we have received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer for future obligations to transfer products or services. Our deferred revenues primarily relate to cloud services and customer support agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services. The amount of revenue that was recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at June 30, 2024 was $ 1,390 million (nine months ended March 31, 2024—$ 1,566 million).
Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, such as sales commissions. The following table summarizes the changes in total capitalized costs to obtain a contract, since June 30, 2024:
Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of June 30, 2024
$ 109,488
New capitalized costs incurred 37,289
Amortization of capitalized costs ( 31,518 )

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of March 31, 2025
$ 115,452
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, there was no significant impairment loss recognized related to capitalized costs to obtain a contract. Refer to Note 7 “Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets” for additional information on incremental costs of obtaining a contract.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized. They include amounts recognized as deferred revenue and amounts that are contracted but will be billed and recognized as revenue in future periods.
Beginning December 31, 2024, the Company elected to include RPO for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less in accordance with ASC 606-10-50-14, and discontinued use of the practical expedient relating to the disclosure of RPO within a contract. The Company believes this presentation is preferable as it provides additional information. Comparative amounts have not been provided for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as such information cannot be practically determined for comparison purposes.
The following chart provides RPO information as of the following periods. The 12-month periods noted below are as of the dates presented, with the remaining balances recognized substantially over the next three years thereafter.

NOTE 4— LEASES
We enter into operating leases, both domestically and internationally, for certain facilities, automobiles, data centers and equipment for use in the ordinary course of business. The duration of the majority of these leases generally ranges from 1 to 10 years, some of which include options to extend for an additional 3 to 5 years after the initial term. Additionally, the land upon which our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada is located is leased from the University of Waterloo for a period of 49 years beginning in December 2005, with an option to renew for an additional term of 49 years. We also have finance lease liabilities comprised of equipment lease arrangements with an average duration of 4 to 5 years, of which all are currently being sublet. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract relate to incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, which are eligible for capitalization on contracts to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered (see Note 3 “Revenues”).
Investments relate to certain investment funds in which we are a limited partner. Our interests in each of these investees range from 4 % to below 20 %. These investments are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of net income or losses based on our interest in these investments, which approximates fair value and is subject to volatility based on market trends and business conditions, is recorded as a component of Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (see Note 20 “Other Income (Expense), Net”). During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, our share of income (loss) from these investments was $ 1.6 million and $ 3.6 million, respectively (three and nine months ended March 31, 2024—$( 0.8 ) million and $( 19.0 ) million, respectively).
A portion of the available-for-sale financial assets relate to contractual arrangements under insurance policies held by the Company with guaranteed interest rates that are utilized to meet certain pension and post-retirement obligations but do not meet the definition of a plan asset. The remaining portion of available-for-sale financial assets are primarily comprised of various debt and equity funds, which are valued utilizing market quotes provided by our third-party custodian. These arrangements are treated as available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value quarterly (see Note 14 “Fair Value Measurement”) with unrealized gains and losses recorded within “Other comprehensive income (loss), net” (see Note 18 “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)”).
Prepaid expenses and other assets, both short-term and long-term, include advance payments on licenses that are being amortized over the applicable terms of the licenses and other miscellaneous assets.

Senior Notes 2028 will mature on February 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded interest expense of $ 8.7 million and $ 26.1 million, respectively, relating to Senior Notes 2028 (three and nine months ended March 31, 2024—$ 8.7 million and $ 26.1 million, respectively).
Senior Secured Fixed Rate Notes
Senior Secured Notes 2027
On December 1, 2022, the Company issued $ 1 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2027 (Senior Secured Notes 2027, and together with the Senior Notes 2031, Senior Notes 2030, Senior Notes 2029, and Senior Notes 2028, the Senior Notes) in connection with the financing of the acquisition of Micro Focus International Limited, formerly Micro Focus International plc, and its subsidiaries (Micro Focus) (the Micro Focus Acquisition) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Secured Notes 2027 bear interest at a rate of 6.90 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on June 1, 2023. Senior Secured Notes 2027 will mature on December 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.
The Senior Secured Notes 2027 are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and are secured with the same priority as the Company’s senior credit facilities. The Senior Secured Notes 2027 and the related guarantees are effectively senior to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ senior unsecured debt to the extent of the value of the Collateral (as defined in the indenture to the Senior Secured Notes 2027) and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of each of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Secured Notes 2027. As of March 31, 2025, the Senior Secured Notes 2027 bear an effective interest rate of 7.39 %. The effective interest rate includes interest expense of $ 51.9 million and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $ 2.1 million.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded interest expense of $ 17.3 million and $ 51.9 million, respectively, relating to Senior Secured Notes 2027 (three and nine months ended March 31, 2024—$ 17.3 million and $ 51.9 million, respectively).
Term Loan B
On May 30, 2018, we entered into a credit facility that provides for a $ 1 billion term loan facility (Term Loan B), and borrowed $ 1 billion under the facility to, among other things, repay in full the loans under our prior $ 800 million term loan facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. On May 6, 2024, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the AMC Divestiture to prepay in full the then outstanding principal balance of $ 940 million under Term Loan B, at which point all remaining commitments under Term Loan B were reduced to zero and Term Loan B was terminated .
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we did not record any interest expense relating to Term Loan B (three and nine months ended March 31, 2024—$ 17.1 million and $ 51.6 million, respectively).

Revolver
On December 19, 2023, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to, among other things, extend the maturity to December 19, 2028. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with the Acquisition Term Loan (as defined below) and Senior Secured Notes 2027.
The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of interest equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolver) and a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25 % to 1.75 %.
Under the Revolver, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4.50 :1.00 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of March 31, 2025, our consolidated net leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the Revolver, was 2.48 :1.00.
As of March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolver (June 30, 2024— nil ). For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we did not record any interest expense relating to the Revolver (three and nine months ended March 31, 2024— nil and $ 2.2 million, respectively).
Acquisition Term Loan
On December 1, 2022, we amended our first lien term loan facility (the Acquisition Term Loan), dated as of August 25, 2022, to increase the aggregate commitments under the senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility from an aggregate principal amount of $ 2.585 billion to an aggregate principal amount of $ 3.585 billion. On August 14, 2023, we entered into the second amendment to the Acquisition Term Loan to reduce the applicable interest rate margin by 0.75 % over the remaining term of the Acquisition Term Loan. On May 15, 2024, we entered into the third amendment to the Acquisition Term Loan to reduce the applicable interest rate margin by 0.5 % and remove the 10 -basis point credit spread adjustment for loans bearing interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). On November 27, 2024, we entered into the fourth amendment to the Acquisition Term Loan to reduce the applicable interest rate margin by 0.5 % over the remaining term of the Acquisition Term Loan. The reductions in interest rate margin on the Acquisition Term Loan resulting from the amendments were all accounted for by the Company as debt modifications.
The Acquisition Term Loan has a seven-year term from the date of funding, and repayments under the Acquisition Term Loan are equal to 0.25 % of the principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of the Acquisition Term Loan, with the remainder due at maturity. Borrowings under the Acquisition Term Loan currently bear a floating rate of interest equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Acquisition Term Loan) plus an applicable margin of 1.75 %. As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Acquisition Term Loan bears an interest rate of 6.07 %. As of March 31, 2025, the Acquisition Term Loan bears an effective interest rate of 7.12 %. The effective interest rate includes interest expense of $ 114.6 million and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $ 10.9 million.
The Acquisition Term Loan has incremental facility capacity of (i) $ 250 million plus (ii) additional amounts, subject to meeting a “consolidated senior secured net leverage” ratio not exceeding 2.75 :1.00, in each case subject to certain conditions. Consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of the Company’s total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, that is secured by the Company’s or any of the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets, over the Company’s trailing four financial quarter net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. Under the Acquisition Term Loan, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4.50 :1.00 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of the Company’s total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over the Company’s trailing four financial quarter net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges as defined in the Acquisition Term Loan. As of March 31, 2025, our consolidated net leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the applicable agreement, was 2.48 :1:00.
The Acquisition Term Loan is unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiary guarantors, as defined in the Acquisition Term Loan, and is secured by a first charge on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors on a pari passu basis with the Revolver and the Senior Secured Notes 2027.
On October 20, 2023, and January 22, 2024, the Company made prepayments of $ 75 million and $ 175 million, respectively, on the Acquisition Term Loan using cash on hand. On May 6, 2024, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the AMC Divestiture to prepay $ 1.06 billion of the outstanding principal balance of the Acquisition Term Loan.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded interest expense of $ 33.5 million and $ 114.6 million, respectively, relating to the Acquisition Term Loan (three and nine months ended March 31, 2024—$ 69.2 million and $ 219.5 million, respectively).

Debt Discount and Issuance Costs
Debt discount and issuance costs relate primarily to costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining or amending our credit facilities and issuing our Senior Notes and are being amortized through interest expense over the respective terms of the Senior Notes and Acquisition Term Loan using the effective interest method and straight-line method for the Revolver.
NOTE 10— PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Defined Benefit and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company has 48 pension and other post-retirement plans in multiple countries. All of our pension and other post-retirement plans are located outside of Canada and the United States. The plans are primarily located in Germany, which, as of March 31, 2025, make up approximately 55 % of the total net benefit pension obligations.
Our defined benefit pension plans include a mix of final salary type plans which provide for retirement, old age, disability and survivor’s benefits. Final salary type pension plans provide benefits to members either in the form of a lump sum payment or a guaranteed level of pension payable for life in the case of retirement, disability and death. Benefits under our final salary type plans are generally based on the participant’s age, compensation and years of service as well as the social security ceiling and other factors. Many of these plans are closed to new members. The net periodic costs of these plans are determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.
Other post-retirement plans include statutory plans that offer termination, indemnity or other end of service benefits. Many of these plans were assumed through our acquisitions or are required by local regulatory and statutory requirements. All of our defined benefit and other post-retirement plans are included in the aggregate projected benefit obligation within Pension liability, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following are details of net pension expense relating to the defined benefit pension plans:

Share Repurchase Plan
On April 30, 2024, the Board authorized a share repurchase plan (Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan) pursuant to which we were authorized to purchase for cancellation, in open market transactions from time to time over the 12-month period commencing on May 7, 2024 until May 6, 2025, up to $ 250 million of our Common Shares. The Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan included a normal course issuer bid to provide means to execute purchases over the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
On July 31, 2024, in order to align our share repurchase plan to our fiscal year, the Board approved the early termination of the Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan and authorized a new share repurchase plan (the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan), pursuant to which we may purchase for cancellation in open market transactions, from time to time over the 12-month period commencing on August 7, 2024 until August 6, 2025, if considered advisable, up to an aggregate of $ 300 million of our Common Shares on the TSX, NASDAQ and/or alternative trading systems in Canada and/or the United States, if eligible, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules. On March 13, 2025, we increased the authorized limit of the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan by $ 150 million to $ 450 million and established an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP). The price that we are authorized to pay for Common Shares in open market transactions is the market price at the time of purchase or such other price as is permitted by applicable law or stock exchange rules. The Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan will be effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and includes a normal course issuer bid to provide means to execute purchases over the TSX.

As of March 31, 2025, 4,192,904 options to purchase Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans.
We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or, where appropriate, the Monte Carlo pricing model, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.
We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.

Long-Term Incentive Plans
We incentivize certain eligible employees, in part, with long-term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three-year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Target PSUs become vested upon the achievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the outstanding PSUs are based on market conditions or performance-based revenue conditions. RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest subject to an eligible employee’s continued employment throughout the applicable vesting period.
PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIP have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with ASC Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. We estimate the fair value of PSUs with market-based conditions using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value. The fair value of PSUs with performance-based conditions have been valued based upon their grant date fair value. Beginning in Fiscal 2023, certain PSU and RSU grants were eligible to receive dividend equivalent units that vest under the same conditions as the underlying grants.
Performance Share Units (Issued Under LTIP)
PSUs (issued under LTIP) vest after three years from the respective date of grants and upon the achievement of Performance Conditions determined at the time of the grant.

Occasionally, we enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Litigation
We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.
Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 “Loss Contingencies” (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.
If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such accrued liabilities was not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As

described more fully below, we are unable at this time to estimate a possible loss or range of losses in respect of certain disclosed matters.
Contingencies
CRA Matter
As part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries and has issued notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. Assuming the utilization of available tax attributes (further described below), we estimate our potential aggregate liability, as of March 31, 2025, in connection with the CRA's reassessments for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, to be limited to penalties, interest and provincial taxes that may be due of approximately $ 80.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, we have provisionally paid approximately $ 32.0 million in order to fully preserve our rights to object to the CRA’s audit positions, being the minimum payment required under Canadian legislation while the matter is in dispute. This amount is recorded within Long-term income taxes recoverable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025.
The notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 would, as drafted, increase our taxable income by approximately $ 90 million to $ 100 million for each of those years, as well as impose a 10 % penalty on the proposed adjustment to income. Audits by the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability.
We strongly disagree with the CRA’s positions and believe the reassessments of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 (including any penalties) are without merit, and we are continuing to contest these reassessments. On June 30, 2022, we filed a notice of appeal with the Tax Court of Canada seeking to reverse all such reassessments (including penalties) in full and the customary court process is ongoing.
Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA’s reassessments to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, we have elective deductions available for those years (including carry-backs from later years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as described above.
The CRA has audited Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2020 on a basis that we strongly disagree with and are contesting. The focus of the CRA audit has been the valuation of certain intellectual property and goodwill when one of our subsidiaries continued into Canada from Luxembourg in July 2016. In accordance with applicable rules, these assets were recognized for tax purposes at fair market value as of that time, which value was supported by an expert valuation prepared by an independent leading accounting and advisory firm. CRA’s position for Fiscal 2017 through Fiscal 2020 relies in significant part on the application of its positions regarding our transfer pricing methodology that are the basis for its reassessment of our fiscal years 2012 to 2016 described above, and that we believe are without merit. Other aspects of CRA’s position for Fiscal 2017 through Fiscal 2020 conflict with the expert valuation prepared by the independent leading accounting and advisory firm that was used to support our original filing position. The CRA issued notices of reassessment in respect of Fiscal 2017 through 2020 on a basis consistent with its proposal to reduce the available depreciable basis of assets in Canada. We have filed notices of objection to the reassessments for each of these years. If we are ultimately unsuccessful in defending our position, the estimated impact of the proposed adjustment could result in us recording an income tax expense, with no immediate cash payment, to reduce the stated value of our deferred tax assets of up to approximately $ 470 million. Any such income tax expense could also have a corresponding cash tax impact that would primarily occur over a period of several future years based upon annual income realization in Canada. We strongly disagree with the CRA’s position for Fiscal 2017 through Fiscal 2020 and intend to vigorously defend our original filing position. We are not required to provisionally pay any cash amounts to the CRA as a result of the reassessment in respect of Fiscal 2017 through Fiscal 2019 due to utilization of available tax attributes; however, for Fiscal 2020 and, to the extent the CRA reassesses subsequent fiscal years on a similar basis, we may make certain minimum payments required under Canadian legislation.
We will continue to vigorously contest the adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments, as well as any reduction to the basis of our depreciable property. We are confident that our original tax filing positions were appropriate. Accordingly, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments or proposed reassessment in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 13— INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased to a provision of 10.5 %, compared to a provision of 5.8 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Table of Contents
The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, increased to a provision of 13.5 %, compared to a provision of 10.1 % for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the Canadian statutory rate of 26.5 % primarily due to tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, research and development credits, and the effect of foreign rate differences, partially offset by withholding taxes, foreign source income inclusion in the U.S. and a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differs from the Canadian statutory rate primarily due to tax benefits related to change in valuation allowance, foreign tax credits, and research and development credits, partially offset by U.S. Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT), withholding taxes, and an increase to uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the Canadian statutory rate of 26.5 % primarily due to tax benefits related to a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits, foreign tax credits, research and development credits, partially offset by withholding taxes and foreign source income inclusion in the U.S.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 differs from the Canadian statutory rate primarily due to tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, research and development credits, and a change in valuation allowance, partially offset by U.S. BEAT and withholding taxes.
As of March 31, 2025, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits accrued was $ 150.6 million (June 30, 2024 — $ 180.4 million), which is inclusive of interest and penalties accrued of $ 19.2 million (June 30, 2024 — $ 24.3 million). We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefit could decrease by $ 31.4 million in the next 12 months, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.
As of March 31, 2025, we have recognized a deferred income tax liability of $ 18.1 million (June 30, 2024—$ 15.9 million) on taxable temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries and planned periodic repatriations from certain German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.
State Aid Matter
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a long-term income tax receivable related to the payment it made in regard to a State Aid charging notice it received as a result of the European Commission’s final decision on its State Aid investigation into the UK’s “Financing Company Partial Exemption” legislation where it concluded that part of the legislation was in breach of the EU State Aid rules. Micro Focus, along with the UK government and certain other UK-based international companies, appealed the decision to the General Court of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
The CJEU’s judgment was handed down on September 19, 2024. The CJEU broadly followed the Advocate General’s opinion, setting aside the judgment of the General Court and annulling the Commission’s ruling. As a result, a refund of the State Aid charging notice, in the amount of $ 43.8 million plus interest of $ 4.0 million, was received in March 2025.
NOTE 14— FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
29
Table of Contents
• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
• Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at an amount that approximates the fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities. The carrying value of our other long-term debt facilities approximates the fair value since the interest rate is at market. See Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” for further details.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Balance as of March 31, 2025
$ 25,533
Our derivative liabilities and our derivative assets are classified as Level 2 and are comprised of foreign currency forward and swap contracts. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparties to which have high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for these instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as, where applicable, foreign currency spot and forward rates.
Our available-for-sale financial assets are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3. Our Level 2 available-for-sale financial assets are comprised primarily of various debt and equity funds, which are valued utilizing market quotes provided by our third-party custodian. Our Level 3 available-for-sale financial assets are comprised of insurance contracts which are valued by an external insurance expert by applying a discount rate to the future cash flows and taking into account the fixed interest rate, mortality rates and term of the insurance contracts. See Note 7 “Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets” for further details.
If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, no indications of impairments were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.
NOTE 15— DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Non-designated Hedges
In connection with the Micro Focus Acquisition, in August 2022, we entered into certain derivative transactions to meet certain foreign currency obligations under UK cash confirmation requirements related to the purchase price of the Micro Focus Acquisition, mitigate the risk of foreign currency appreciation in the GBP denominated purchase price and mitigate the risk of foreign currency appreciation in the EUR denominated existing debt held by Micro Focus. We entered into the following derivatives: (i) three deal-contingent forward contracts, (ii) a non-contingent forward contract, and (iii) EUR/USD cross currency swaps.
The deal-contingent forward contracts had an aggregate notional amount of £ 1.475 billion. The non-contingent forward contract had a notional amount of £ 350 million. The cross currency swaps are comprised of 5-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps with a notional amount of € 690 million and 7-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps with a notional amount of € 690 million. On January 7, 2025, we terminated certain of our outstanding 5-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount of € 138 million and made a termination payment of approximately $ 10.4 million on January 9, 2025.
These instruments were entered into as economic hedges to mitigate foreign currency risks associated with the Micro Focus Acquisition. The instruments did not initially qualify for hedge accounting at the time they were entered into. In connection with the closing of the Micro Focus Acquisition, the deal-contingent forward and non-deal contingent forward contracts were settled and we designated the 7-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps as net investment hedges (see further details below). The 5-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps are non-designated and are measured at fair value with changes to fair value being recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within Other income (expense), net.
Net Investment Hedge
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company designated the € 690 million of 7-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps as net investment hedges in accordance with “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). The Company utilizes the designated cross currency swaps to protect our EUR-denominated operations against exchange rate fluctuations.
The Company assesses the hedge effectiveness of its net investment hedges on a quarterly basis utilizing a method based on the changes in spot price. As such, for derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges, changes in fair value of the designated hedging instruments attributable to fluctuations in the foreign currency spot exchange rates are initially recorded as a component of currency translation adjustments included within Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income until the hedged foreign operations are either sold or substantially liquidated.
In accordance with Topic 815 certain components of the designated cross currency swaps relating to counterparty credit risk and forward exchange rates were excluded from the above effectiveness assessment. The fair value of these excluded components will be amortized over the life of the hedging instruments within Interest and other related expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, we will record the cash flows related to the periodic interest settlements on the 7-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps within the investing activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any gains or losses recognized upon settlement of the cross currency swaps will be recorded within the investing activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Cash Flow Hedge
We are engaged in hedging programs with various banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our payroll exposure with typical maturities of between one and twelve months . We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative purposes.
31
Table of Contents
We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under Topic 815. As the critical terms of the hedging instrument and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction are the same, in accordance with Topic 815, we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within Other comprehensive income (loss), net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the contracts is recorded within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and represents the net loss before tax effect that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings within the next twelve months.
As of March 31, 2025, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $ 92.7 million (June 30, 2024—$ 95.7 million).

Business Optimization Plan
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, we made a strategic decision to align the Company’s workforce to support its growth and innovation plans (Business Optimization Plan). The Business Optimization Plan charges relate to workforce reductions. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.
As of March 31, 2025, $ 57.1 million has been recorded to date within Special charges (recoveries) within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
On April 29, 2025, the Board approved an expansion of the Business Optimization Plan. Please see Note 23 “Subsequent Events” for additional details.

Micro Focus Acquisition Restructuring Plan
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, as part of the Micro Focus Acquisition, we made a strategic decision to implement restructuring activities to reduce our overall workforce and further reduce our real estate footprint around the world (Micro Focus Acquisition Restructuring Plan). The Micro Focus Acquisition Restructuring Plan charges relate to facility costs and workforce reductions. Facility costs include the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of right of use assets, the write-off of property and equipment and other related variable lease and exit costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.
Since the inception of the Micro Focus Acquisition Restructuring Plan, $ 145.5 million has been recorded within Special charges (recoveries) within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges relating to the Micro Focus Acquisition Restructuring Plan.

NOTE 17— ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Fiscal 2024 Divestiture
Divestiture of AMC Business
On May 1, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its AMC business to Rocket Software for $ 2.275 billion in cash before taxes, fees and other adjustments. The results of the AMC business were recorded and presented within our Condensed Consolidated and Consolidated Financial Statements during Fiscal 2024 for the period of July 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024. In connection with the sale, a gain of $ 429.1 million was recorded in Other income (expense), net within our Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended June 30, 2024. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, working capital and other adjustments were finalized, which resulted in a payment of $ 11.7 million, and a decrease to the gain on the AMC Divestiture by $ 4.2 million.
The Company determined that the AMC business did not constitute a component, as its operations and cash flows cannot be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company’s operations and cash flows due to significant shared costs, therefore, the transaction did not meet the discontinued operations criteria, and the results of operations from the AMC business are presented within Income from operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income up to the date of disposition.
The Company used the net proceeds from the transaction to prepay in full the outstanding principal balances of the Term Loan B and prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Acquisition Term Loan, as further described in Note 9 “Long-Term Debt.” The Company has also agreed to provide certain transition services to Rocket Software following the completion of the divestiture for up to 24 months after the closing date of May 1, 2024, which are included in financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These transition service costs are reimbursable by Rocket Software. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we billed Rocket Software $ 4.2 million and $ 31.4 million, respectively, under the Transition Services Agreement. Substantially all of the transition services were completed as of the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

NOTE 21— EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to OpenText by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to OpenText by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 22— RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of the Audit Committee and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest in the transaction. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit Committee generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2025, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a member of the Board of Directors, earned consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. The fees earned were not material. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.
NOTE 23— SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Cash Dividends
As part of our quarterly, non-cumulative cash dividend program, we declared, on April 29, 2025, a dividend of $ 0.2625 per Common Share. The record date for this dividend is June 6, 2025 and the payment date is June 20, 2025. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of our Board.
Expansion of Business Optimization Plan
On April 29, 2025, the Board approved an expansion of our previously announced Business Optimization Plan to complete strategic initiatives, integration and simplification following the Micro Focus acquisition, AMC Divestiture and other growth and innovation plans including the deployment of AI and automation.
We expect up to approximately $ 200.0 million of additional costs to be incurred to complete this final phase of the Business Optimization Plan, bringing the combined plan up to approximately $ 260.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, $ 57.1

Table of Contents
million of the original $ 60.0 million has been recorded within Special charges (recoveries) within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to date. The entire Business Optimization Plan is expected to be substantially completed by the second quarter of Fiscal 2027.
This expansion includes costs associated with workforce reduction due to automation, centralization and simplification, and corresponding facility costs related to a reduction of our real estate footprint globally. On an overall basis, the expansion is expected to result in a total net reduction of approximately 2,000 positions, an increase of approximately 1,600 positions from the previously announced plan. Facility costs include the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of right of use assets, the write-off of fixed assets, and other related variable lease and exit costs.
