Quarterly Summary:
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, we saw the following activity as compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2025:
• Total revenue was $1,282.5 million, up 2.2% compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; down 2.1% after factoring in the favourable impact of $54.6 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Total revenue was up as increases in the Content, Business Network and ADM product categories were offset by decreases in the Cybersecurity (Enterprise), Cybersecurity (SMB & Consumer), ITOM and Analytics product categories.

Business Update
Effective April 20,2026, Ayman Antoun was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board. Mr. Antoun succeeded James McGourlay, who served as Interim Chief Executive Officer until April 20,2026. Upon the transition, Mr. McGourlay was appointed as President, Chief Client Officer.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
As a result of the continually changing marketplace in which we operate and our strategic objectives, we regularly evaluate acquisition and divestiture opportunities within our market and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities.
Proposed Divestiture of Vertica Business
On February 2, 2026, the Company reached a definitive agreement to divest Vertica, a part of its Analytics product category, to Rocket Software Inc. (Rocket Software) for $150.0 million in cash, before taxes, fees and other adjustments. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the divestiture to reduce outstanding debt. The transaction remains subject to customary approvals and closing conditions and is expected to close during Fiscal 2026. See Note 17 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Divestiture of eDOCS Business
On October 2, 2025 the Company reached a definitive agreement to divest an on-premise solution (eDOCS), a part of its Analytics product category, to NetDocuments, for $163.0 million in cash before taxes, fees and other adjustments. The Company completed the divestiture on January 12, 2026. The Company used the proceeds from the transaction to prepay $163.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Acquisition Term Loan (as defined below). See Note 17 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Impacts of Geopolitical Conflicts and Diplomatic Tensions
We continue to monitor the geopolitical conflicts and diplomatic tensions around the world, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the conflict involving Iran and the broader Middle East instability. We have ceased all direct business in Russia and Belarus. We continue to operate our Israeli-based business and support our employees in the region. While our operations within these locations are not material and we do not expect these geopolitical conflicts to have a material adverse effect on our overall business, results of operations or financial condition, it is not possible to predict the broader consequences or broader expansion of these conflicts, including adverse effects on the global economy, on our business and operations as well as those of our customers, partners and third-party service providers. See also “Outlook for Remainder of Fiscal 2026” for significant tariff and trade developments. For more information, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025.
Outlook for Remainder of Fiscal 2026
Financial Outlook
As of May 7, 2026, the Company updated its full year Fiscal 2026 outlook, which is as follows:
Metrics
Fiscal 2026 Growth
Total Revenues (1)
1% to 2%
Total Cloud services and subscriptions revenues
4% to 5%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 50 bps to 100 bps
Free Cash Flows
22% to 25%
Enterprise Cloud Bookings 16% to 20%
______________________
(1) Our Fiscal 2026 growth metric for Total Revenues includes $30 million of lower revenues in the second half of Fiscal 2026, of which $15 million resulted from the divestiture of the eDOCS business and $15 million resulted from the proposed divestiture of the Vertica business. The eDOCS and Vertica businesses contributed approximately $30 million and $80 million, respectively, of full year revenue during Fiscal 2025.
Fiscal 2026 growth metrics for Total Cloud services and subscriptions revenues, Free Cash Flow and Enterprise Cloud Bookings have been revised upward. Total Cloud services and subscriptions revenues growth increased due to higher conversion rates in Enterprise Cloud Bookings. Free Cash Flow growth increased primarily due to the timing of tax payments. Enterprise Cloud Bookings growth increased due to a larger pipeline of deals and higher conversion rates.
The forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may vary materially. The Company does not present a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because it is impractical to forecast certain items without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting, within a reasonable range, the occurrence and financial impact of and the periods in which such items may be recognized.
Refer to Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025 for the Company’s full year Fiscal 2026 outlook.
Strategic Priorities
We continue to focus on our three strategic priorities: expanding our competitive advantage, driving total revenue growth and achieving operational excellence. To expand our competitive advantage, we continue to advance our AI-first Information Management offerings, which are well positioned for Agentic AI, through ongoing investment and cloud-native innovations which will further enhance our products. In pursuing total revenue growth, we remain committed to organic initiatives and a programmatic approach to growth through tuck-in acquisitions and divestitures to best align capital with the highest return opportunities. As part of this effort, we are reviewing portfolio-shaping opportunities, including potential redeployment of capital from non-core assets to enhance focus on our core Information Management for AI Business and support long-term shareholder returns. On operational excellence, we are focused on expanding profitability, free cash flows and capital return to support our innovation and capital allocation priorities. Refer to Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025 for additional information.
Business Optimization Plan
As previously announced, our Business Optimization Plan was designed to support strategic initiatives, integration and simplification efforts following the acquisition of Micro Focus International Limited (the Micro Focus Acquisition), the sale of
46
Table of Contents
the Company’s Application Modernization and Connectivity (AMC) business (the AMC Divestiture) and AI-first innovation and growth plans.
As of March 31, 2026, we have incurred $215.0 million of the total expected costs of up to approximately $260.0 million. These costs primarily related to workforce reduction driven by automation, centralization, and simplification, as well as associated real estate footprint reductions globally.
The Business Optimization Plan along with other savings initiatives, when fully implemented, is expected to generate total annualized savings of approximately $490.0 million to $550.0 million. The Company realized approximately 35% of these savings during Fiscal 2025 and expects to realize an additional 35% in Fiscal 2026, with the balance thereafter. The entire business optimization plan is expected to be substantially completed by the second quarter of Fiscal 2027. See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025.
Additional Considerations
We conduct business globally and are subject to a complex and evolving international trade environment. Recent trade tensions among major economies, including the United States, Canada, China, the European Union and others, have led to the dissolution of trade agreements and the imposition of tariffs and other restrictive measures. These tariffs and other restrictive measures do not currently target digital goods and services, including software, services, intangibles or other digital services; however, we cannot predict future trade policy or tariffs, including whether such digital goods and services will be subject to any form of tariffs or other restrictions in the future, or the timing of any impacts thereof. We also cannot predict the impact that such tariffs and other restrictive measures will have on the macroeconomic environment or our customers, which could adversely impact our business and our results of operations.
We will continue to closely monitor the potential impacts of changes in global tariff policies and structures and other trade policies, or related impacts on the global economy arising from the current geopolitical climate, such as inflation with respect to wages, services and goods, concerns regarding any potential recession, volatile interest rates, financial market volatility, or other impacts from the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts and other geopolitical disputes on our business. See Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” herein and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make 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. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The policies listed below are areas that may contain key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to make judgments and estimates and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve complex situations and require a higher degree of judgment, either in the application and interpretation of existing accounting literature or in the development of estimates that affect our financial statements. The critical accounting policies which we believe are the most important to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
(i) Revenue recognition,
(ii) Goodwill,
(iii) Acquired intangibles, and
(iv) Income taxes.
For a full discussion of all our accounting policies, see Note 2 “Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following tables provide a detailed analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. For each of the periods indicated below, we present our revenues by product type, revenues by major geography, cost of revenues by product type, total gross margin, total operating margin, gross margin by product type, and their corresponding percentage of total revenue.
In addition, we provide Non-GAAP measures for the periods discussed to provide additional information to investors that we believe will be useful as this presentation aligns with how our management assesses our Company’s performance. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of GAAP-based measures to Non-GAAP-based measures.

Divestiture of eDOCS Business
On January 12, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its eDOCS business to NetDocuments. The comparability of our operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, was impacted by the eDOCS divestiture, as the operating results of the eDOCS business were excluded from the Company’s consolidated results, beginning January 12, 2026. As such, consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 included the business operating results of eDOCS up to the date of the eDOCS divestiture. eDOCS business operating results were included in the consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025. For more details on the Company’s divestitures, see Note 17 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Transition Services Agreements
In connection with the eDOCS divestiture, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (TSA) with NetDocuments, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain transition services to NetDocuments for up to 12 months following the closing date. These transition service costs are reimbursable by NetDocuments.
On May 1, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its AMC business to Rocket Software. The AMC business was comprised of the legacy OpenText connectivity business and the legacy Micro Focus AMC business. In connection with the AMC Divestiture, the Company entered into a TSA with Rocket Software, whereby the Company agreed to provide certain transition services to Rocket Software for up to 24 months following the closing date. These transition service costs were reimbursable by Rocket Software. All transition services pursuant to the TSA with Rocket Software were completed as of June 30, 2025.

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type
1) Cloud Services and Subscriptions:
Cloud services and subscriptions revenues are from hosting arrangements where in connection with the licensing of software, the end user does not take possession of the software, as well as from end-to-end fully outsourced business-to-business integration solutions to our customers (collectively referred to as cloud arrangements). The software application resides on our hardware or that of a third-party, and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis via an identified line. Our cloud arrangements can be broadly categorized as platform as a service, software as a service, cloud subscriptions and managed services.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, our cloud net renewal rate (Cloud NRR), excluding the impact of Carbonite Inc. and Zix Corporation, decreased to 95% from 96%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Cloud net renewal rate measures the percentage of annual contract value retained from Enterprise cloud customer subscription agreements available to renew, after giving effect to contract expansions (such as price increases and upsells) and reductions (cancellations). Cloud NRR excludes internal portfolio movements (such as migrations to the Company’s other Cloud offerings). Cloud NRR includes enterprise-based customers, which contribute approximately 90% of the Company’s total revenues, and excludes the impact of Carbonite Inc. and Zix Corporation, whose businesses primarily serve our small- and medium-sized business and consumer customers and comprise the remainder of our revenues.
Cost of Cloud services and subscriptions revenues is comprised primarily of third-party network usage fees, maintenance of in-house data hardware centers, technical support personnel-related costs and some third-party royalty costs.

Cost of Cloud services and subscriptions revenues decreased by $1.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a decrease in labour-related costs of $6.4 million, partially offset by an increase in third-party network usage fees of $5.3 million. Overall, the gross margin percentage on Cloud services and subscriptions revenues increased to 64% from 62%.
2) Customer Support:
Customer support revenues consist of revenues from our customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when available. Customer support revenues are generated from support and maintenance relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. Therefore, changes in Customer support revenues do not always correlate directly to the changes in license revenues from period to period. The terms of support and maintenance agreements are typically twelve months, and are renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Our management reviews our customer support renewal rates on a quarterly basis, and we use these rates as a method of monitoring our customer service performance.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, our customer support net renewal rate (Customer Support NRR) increased to 93% from 90%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Customer Support NRR measures the percentage of annual contract value retained from Enterprise customer support agreements available to renew, after giving effect to contract expansions (such as price increases and upsells) and reductions (cancellations). Customer Support NRR excludes internal portfolio movements (such as migrations to the Company's Cloud and other offerings). Customer Support NRR includes enterprise-based customers, which contribute approximately 90% of the Company’s revenues, and excludes the impact of Carbonite Inc. and Zix Corporation, whose businesses primarily serve small- and medium-sized business and consumer customers and comprise the remainder of our revenues.
Cost of Customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and related costs, as well as third-party royalty costs.

4) Professional Service and Other:
Professional service and other revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide implementation, training and integration services (professional services). Other revenues consist of hardware revenues, which are included within the “Professional service and other” category because they are relatively immaterial to our service revenues. Professional services are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses. Professional service and other revenues can vary from period to period based on the type of engagements as well as those implementations that are assumed by our partner network.
Cost of Professional service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant components of these costs are personnel-related expenses, travel costs and third-party subcontracting.

Table of Contents
Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 by $14.3 million, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a reduction in amortization related to customer-based intangible assets from previous acquisitions becoming fully amortized and a reduction in amortization related to the proposed divestiture of the Vertica business.
Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets decreased during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 by $18.6 million, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a reduction in amortization related to customer-based intangible assets from previous acquisitions becoming fully amortized and a reduction in amortization related to the proposed divestiture of the Vertica business.
Special charges (recoveries):
Special charges (recoveries) typically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans, acquisition and divestiture-related costs and other similar charges and recoveries. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating acquired entities with existing OpenText operations. Actions related to such restructuring plans are typically completed within a period of one year. In certain limited situations, if the planned activity does not need to be implemented, or an expense lower than anticipated is paid out, we record a recovery of the originally recorded expense to Special charges (recoveries).

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 were 16.6% and 19.9%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 were 10.5% and 13.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate increased year over year primarily related to reduced releases in unrecognized tax benefits,

and a reduction in research and development credits in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted in the U.S., introducing amendments to U.S. tax laws with various effective dates. Key income tax-related provisions of the OBBBA include provisions related to bonus depreciation, research and development expenditures, interest expense deductibility and revisions to international tax regimes. The changes had an immaterial impact to the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Non-GAAP). These Non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus the Company's definition may be different from similar Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. Thus, it may be more difficult to compare the Company’s financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company’s management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s results.
The Company uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the information provided in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despite these limitations, it is appropriate to supplement the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP measures with certain Non-GAAP measures defined below.
Non-GAAP-based net income and Non-GAAP-based EPS, attributable to OpenText, are consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income or earnings (loss) per share, attributable to OpenText, on a diluted basis, excluding the effects of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and special charges (recoveries), all net of tax and any tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income, as further described in the tables below. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets and share-based compensation within cost of sales. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as GAAP-based income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges (recoveries), and share-based compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined and calculated as GAAP-based net income, attributable to OpenText, excluding interest income (expense), provision for (recovery of) income taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation and special charges (recoveries). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
Free cash flows is defined and calculated as GAAP-based cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
The Company’s management believes that the presentation of the above defined Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because they portray the financial results of the Company before the impact of certain non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” is defined for this purpose as an expense that does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company’s management. These items are excluded based upon the way the Company’s management evaluates the performance of the Company’s business for use in the Company’s internal reports and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.
The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and therefore believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures, which in certain cases adjust for the impact of amortization of intangible assets and the related tax effects that are primarily related to acquisitions, will provide readers of financial statements with a more consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and be more useful in helping readers understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends. Additionally, the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, primarily due to acquisitions and most recently in response to our return to office planning, that have resulted in costs associated with reductions in headcount, consolidation of leased facilities and related costs, all which are recorded under the Company’s Special charges (recoveries) caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Each restructuring activity is a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and each differs in terms of its operational implementation, business impact and scope, and the size of each restructuring plan can vary significantly from period to period. Therefore, the Company believes that the exclusion of these special charges (recoveries) will also better aid readers of financial statements in the understanding and comparability of the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends.
In summary, the Company believes the provision of supplemental Non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company’s core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText’s performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance (although prior performance is not necessarily indicative of
60
Table of Contents
future performance). As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, supplementary Non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.
The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP-based financial measures to Non-GAAP-based financial measures for the following periods presented.

(1) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(2) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(3) GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.
(4) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the periods relevant to an acquisition and include certain charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. See Note 16 “Special Charges (Recoveries)” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
(5) GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars.
(6) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as other income (expense) generally relates to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities in these privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses on these investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results. Other income (expense) also includes unrealized and realized gains (losses) on our derivatives which are not designated as hedges. We exclude gains and losses on these derivatives as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.
(7) Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision rate of approximately 17% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 24%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of items that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based net income. Such excluded items include amortization, share-based compensation, special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Beginning in Fiscal 2025, net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 have been fully utilized and are no longer included. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 24%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

(1) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(2) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(3) GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.
(4) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the periods relevant to an acquisition and include certain charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. See Note 16 “Special Charges (Recoveries)” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
(5) GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars.
(6) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as other income (expense) generally relates to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities in these privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses on these investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results. Other income (expense) also includes unrealized and realized gains (losses) on our derivatives which are not designated as hedges. We exclude gains and losses on these derivatives as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.
(7) Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision rate of approximately 10% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 24%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of items that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based net income. Such excluded items include amortization, share-based compensation, special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Beginning in Fiscal 2025, net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 have been fully utilized and are no longer included. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 24%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of balances with banks as well as deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less.
We continue to anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, as well as available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments, capital expenditures, dividends and operating needs for the next twelve months. Any further material or acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing and would be subject to the financial covenants established under our credit facilities. For more details, see “Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities” below.
Cash flows from operating activitie s
Cash flows from operating activities increased by $148.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year principally related to an increase in net changes from working capital of $121.2 million primarily from the one-time tax payments made in the prior year related to the AMC Divestiture, and an increase in net income after the impact of non-cash items of $27.3 million.
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 we had a days sales outstanding (DSO) of 45 days, as compared to our DSO of 43 days during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025. The per day impact of our DSO in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025 on our cash flows was $14.1 million and $13.9 million, respectively. In arriving at DSO, we exclude contract assets as these assets do not provide an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer.
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash flows from investing activities are primarily on account of acquisitions and additions of property and equipment.
Cash flows provided by investing activities increased by $147.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to cash consideration received from the eDOCS divestiture during Fiscal 2026 of $162.9 million, a payment of $11.7 million made in the prior year related to working capital net settlement on the AMC Divestiture and a payment of $10.4 million related to the termination of certain of our outstanding 5-year EUR/USD cross currency swaps in the prior year, partially offset by increased additions for property and equipment of $26.5 million and a decrease in proceeds from other investing activities of $11.0 million.
Cash flows from financing activities
Our cash flows from financing activities generally consist of long-term debt financing and amounts received from stock options exercised by our employees and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) purchases by our employees. These inflows are typically offset by scheduled and non-scheduled repayments of our long-term debt financing and, when applicable, the payment of dividends and/or repurchases of our Common Shares.
69
Table of Contents
Cash flows used in financing activities increased by $188.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is primarily due to the net impact of the following activities:
(i) $163.0 million increases in prepayments of long-term debt, and
(ii) $67.8 million related to a net increase in cash used in the repurchases of Common Shares and treasury stock.
The increases in cash flows used in financing activities above were partially offset by the following decreases:
(i) $23.5 million related to higher proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares upon the exercise of options under the ESPP, and
(ii) $16.6 million net change in TSA obligations driven by cash collections on behalf of Rocket Software related to certain transition services performed by the Company related to the AMC Divestiture. All transition services pursuant to the TSA with Rocket Software were completed as of June 30, 2025.
Cash Dividends
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.275 and $0.825 per Common Share, respectively, in the aggregate amount of $66.3 million and $203.0 million, respectively (three and nine months ended March 31, 2025—$0.2625 and $0.7875 per Common Share, respectively, in the aggregate amount of $67.9 million and $205.3 million, respectively).
Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to final determination and discretion of the Board. See Item 5 “Dividend Policy” included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025 for more information.
Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities
Our long-term debt and credit facilities consist of senior notes, a term loan facility, and a revolving credit facility, as described below and further detailed in Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2026, we had senior debt outstanding, with maturities starting in 2027 and extending through 2031, with a total carrying value of $4.3 billion. The senior notes bear interest at rates between 3.875% and 6.90%, in each case payable semi-annually in arrears. Our senior secured notes due 2027 are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and are secured with the same priority as the Company’s senior credit facilities.
Acquisition Term Loan
In August 2022, we entered into a $2.585 billion first lien term loan facility (Acquisition Term Loan) with a seven-year term from the date of funding. The Acquisition Term Loan was amended in December 2022 to increase the aggregate principal amount to $3.585 billion. 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%.
On January 15, 2026, we used the proceeds from the eDOCS divestiture to prepay $163.0 million of our aggregate outstanding principal balance on the Acquisition Term Loan. See Note 17 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on the eDOCS divestiture.
Revolver
On December 19, 2023, we amended our $750 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to, among other things, extend the Revolver’s maturity date to December 19, 2028. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver as of March 31, 2026. 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 and our senior secured notes due 2027. Borrowings under the Revolver currently 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%.
Shelf Registration Statement
On December 12, 2025, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which became effective automatically (the Shelf Registration Statement). The Shelf Registration Statement allows for primary and secondary offerings from time to time of equity, debt and other securities, including Common Shares, Preference Shares, debt securities,

Table of Contents
depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, units and subscription receipts. As the Company qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” in Canada, a short-form base shelf prospectus qualifying the distribution of such securities was concurrently filed with Canadian securities regulators on December 12, 2025. The type of securities and the specific terms thereof will be determined at the time of any offering and will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement to be filed separately with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators.
Share Repurchase Plan / Normal Course Issuer Bid
On April 30, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the Board) authorized a share repurchase plan (the 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 an aggregate of $250 million of our Common Shares.
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 share repurchase plan (the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan), pursuant to which we were authorized to purchase for cancellation 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 March 13, 2025, the Company increased the authorized limit of the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan by $150 million to $450 million.
On August 6, 2025, the Company renewed its share repurchase plan, pursuant to which we may purchase for cancellation, from time to time over the 12-month period commencing on August 12, 2025 until August 11, 2026, if considered advisable, up to an aggregate of $300 million of our Common Shares in open market transactions on the TSX (as part of the Fiscal 2026 NCIB, as defined below), the NASDAQ and/or alternative trading systems in Canada and/or the United States, if eligible, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules (the Fiscal 2026 Repurchase Plan). On February 10, 2026, we increased the authorized limit of the Fiscal 2026 Repurchase Plan by $200 million to $500 million. 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 2026 Repurchase Plan will be effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and includes a normal course issuer bid to provide means to execute purchases over the TSX. Further, as part of the renewal of the Fiscal 2026 NCIB (as defined below), the Company established an automatic share repurchase plan (ASPP) with its broker to facilitate repurchases of the Common Shares. Under the terms of the ASPP, the Company’s broker is permitted to make purchases at its sole discretion based on parameters set by the Company in accordance with TSX rules, applicable law and the terms of the ASPP, during periods when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to make purchases, whether due to regulatory restriction or customary self-imposed blackout periods. Outside of such periods, Common Shares can be purchased based on management’s discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable law. All purchases of Common Shares made under the ASPP are included in determining the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased and cancelled 9,679,300 and 14,225,223 Common Shares for $251.7 million and $403.9 million, respectively, inclusive of 2% Canadian excise taxes recorded (three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, 4,350,716 and 9,212,818 Common Shares, respectively, for $116.7 million and $270.3 million, respectively, inclusive of 2% Canadian excise taxes recorded).
Normal Course Issuer Bid
On July 31, 2024, the Company voluntarily terminated the normal course issuer bid previously authorized on April 30, 2024 and established a new normal course issuer bid (the Fiscal 2025 NCIB) in order to provide it with a means to execute purchases over the TSX from the period commencing on August 7, 2024 until August 6, 2025 as part of the overall Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan.
On August 6, 2025 the Company renewed its normal course issuer bid (the Fiscal 2026 NCIB) in order to provide it with a means to execute purchases over the TSX as part of the overall Fiscal 2026 Repurchase Plan.
The TSX approved the Company’s notice of intention to commence the Fiscal 2026 NCIB, pursuant to which the Company may purchase Common Shares over the TSX for the period commencing on August 12, 2025 until August 11, 2026 in accordance with the TSX’s normal course issuer bid rules, including that such purchases be made at prevailing market prices or as otherwise permitted. Under the rules of the TSX, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be purchased in this period is 24,906,456 (representing 10% of the Company’s public float calculated in accordance with TSX rules) as of July 31, 2025, and the maximum number of Common Shares that can be purchased on a single day is 224,146 Common Shares, which was 25% of 896,585 (calculated in accordance with TSX rules based on the average daily trading volume for the Common Shares on the TSX for the six months ended July 31, 2025), subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, and subject in any case to the volume and other limitations under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act.

Guarantees and Indemnifications
We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third-party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third-party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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.
See Note 12 “Guarantees and Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
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).
See Note 12 “Guarantees and Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
Contingencies
As part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the 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. 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.
The CRA has audited Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2019, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 on a basis that we strongly disagree with and are contesting. The CRA issued notices of reassessment in respect of Fiscal 2017 through Fiscal 2021 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 2021 and intend to vigorously defend our original filing position.

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.
See Note 12 “Guarantees and Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice, except for guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business.
