Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Company Overview - Progress Software Corporation ("Progress," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") provides enterprise software products for the development, deployment and management of high-impact applications.
Our products are generally sold as perpetual licenses, but certain products also use term licensing models and our cloud-based offerings use a subscription-based model. More than half of our worldwide license revenue is realized through relationships with indirect channel partners, principally independent software vendors, original equipment manufacturers, distributors and value-added resellers. Independent software vendors develop and market applications using our technology and resell our products in conjunction with sales of their own products that incorporate our technology. Original equipment manufacturers are companies that embed our products into their own software products or devices. Value-added resellers are companies that add features or services to our product, then resell it as an integrated product or complete "turn-key" solution.
We operate in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), and Asia and Australia ("Asia Pacific"), through local subsidiaries as well as independent distributors.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on January 27, 2023 (our "2022 Annual Report").
We made no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and records changes in estimates in the period in which they become known. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition and business combinations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), as amended in December 2022 by Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 ("ASU 2022-06"). ASU 2020-04 provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions apply only to those transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 in June 2023, in connection with the amendment of its interest rate swap agreement to implement certain changes in the reference rate from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The application of this expedient preserves the cash flow hedge designation of the interest rate swaps and presentation consistent with past presentation and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

There were no debt securities by contractual maturity due after one year as of August 31, 2023.
Note 3: Derivative Instruments
Cash Flow Hedge
On July 9, 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap contract with an initial notional amount of $ 150.0 million to manage the variability of cash flows associated with approximately one-half of our variable rate debt. The contract matures on April 30, 2024 and requires periodic interest rate settlements. Under this interest rate swap contract, we receive a floating rate based on the greater of 1-month LIBOR or 0.00 %, and pay a fixed rate of 1.855 % on the outstanding notional amount . In June 2023, the interest rate swap agreement was amended to implement certain changes in the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR.
We have designated the interes t rate swap as a cash flow hedge and assess the hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the derivative. To the extent that the interest rate swap is highly effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivative are included as a component of other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although we have determined at the onset of the hedge that the interest rate swap will be a highly effective hedge throughout the term of the contract, any portion of the fair value swap subsequently determined to be ineffective will be recognized in earnings. As of August 31, 2023, the fair value of the hedge was a gain of $ 2.5 million, which was included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss reclassified to interest expense during the nine months ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022 was a decrease of $ 2.6 million and an increase of $ 1.1 million, respectively.
The following table presents our interest rate swap contract where the notional amount reflects the quarterly amortization of the interest rate swap, which is equal to approximately one-half of the corresponding reduction in the balance of our term loan as we make scheduled principal payments. The fair value of the derivative represents the discounted value of the expected future discounted cash flows for the interest rate swap, based on the amortization schedule and the current forward curve for the remaining term of the contract, as of the date of each reporting period (in thousands):

Interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges $ 107,813 $ 2,466 $ 120,000 $ 4,407
11
Forward Contracts
We generally use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on intercompany accounts receivable and loans receivable denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries.
All forward contracts are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and generally expire between 30 days and 2 years from the date the contract was entered. At August 31, 2023, $ 2.4 million and $ 0.2 million was recorded in other accrued liabilities and other current assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At November 30, 2022, $ 3.1 million and $ 0.1 million were recorded in other noncurrent liabilities and other current assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, realized and unrealized gains of $ 1.1 million and $ 2.7 million, respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency loss, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, realized and unrealized losses of $ 5.4 million and $ 9.0 million, respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency loss, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. These gains and losses were substantially offset by realized and unrealized gains and losses in the offsetting positions.
The table below details outstanding foreign currency forward contracts where the notional amount is determined using contract exchange rates (in thousands):

When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market-based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates.
Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value
Fair Value of the Convertible Senior Notes
The fair value of our Convertible Senior Notes, with a carrying value of $ 354.2 million and $ 352.6 million, was $ 411.8 million and $ 376.0 million as of August 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the quoted price in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period and classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Other Long-term Debt
The fair value of the borrowing outstanding detail in Note 7 approximates the carrying value of the debt due to variable rates that are applicable and no significant change in our credit ratings.
Fair Value of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities including cash, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or settlement.

Note 6: Business Combinations
MarkLogic Acquisition
On February 7, 2023, we completed the acquisition of the parent company of MarkLogic Corporation ("MarkLogic"), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of January 3, 2023. The acquisition was completed for a base purchase price of $ 355.0 million (subject to certain customary adjustments) in cash.
The acquisition consideration for MarkLogic has been preliminarily allocated to MarkLogic’s assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for those estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).
The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):
Initial Purchase Price Allocation Measurement Period Adjustments Adjusted Purchase Price Allocation Life
Net working capital $ 49,477 $ ( 1,063 ) $ 48,414
Property, plant and equipment 723 — 723
Purchased technology 67,600 ( 300 ) 67,300 7 years
Trade name 12,500 — 12,500 7 years
Customer relationships 162,200 ( 10,900 ) 151,300 7 years
Other assets, including long-term unbilled receivables 6,172 ( 1,401 ) 4,771
Deferred taxes ( 17,441 ) ( 957 ) ( 18,398 )
Deferred revenue ( 33,116 ) — ( 33,116 )
Goodwill 140,964 14,050 155,014
Net assets acquired $ 389,079 $ ( 571 ) $ 388,508
14
The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to value the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The valuation assumptions take into consideration our estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections.
We determined the acquisition date deferred revenue balance based on our assessment of the individual contracts acquired. A significant portion of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.
We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $ 155.0 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, we incurred approximately $ 0.6 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses on our consolidated statement of operations.
The amount of revenue of MarkLogic included in our consolidated statement of operations during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, was approximately $ 20.4 million and $ 50.7 million, respectively. We determined that disclosing the amount of MarkLogic related earnings included in the consolidated statement of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of MarkLogic were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.
Pro Forma Information
The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and MarkLogic as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2021, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the MarkLogic acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include: (i) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense relating to the $ 231.1 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (ii) an increase in interest expense to record interest for the period presented as a result of drawing down our revolving line of credit in connection with the acquisition, and (iii) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.5%).
The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated expense savings resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2021.

Note 8: Common Stock Repurchases
In January 2023, our Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $ 150.0 million, to an aggregate authorization of $ 228.0 million. In the three months ended August 31, 2023, we did no t repurchase and retire any shares of our common stock. In the three months ended August 31, 2022, we repurchased and retired 0.5 million shares for $ 24.1 million. In the nine months ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, we repurchased and retired 0.5 million shares for $ 30.0 million and 1.7 million shares for $ 75.5 million, respectively. The shares were repurchased in both periods as part of our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase program. As of August 31, 2023, there was $ 198.0 million remaining under the current authorization.
Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards, less the present value of expected dividends when applicable, measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using the current market price of the stock, the Black-Scholes option valuation model, or the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model.
In 2021, 2022 and 2023, we granted performance-based restricted stock units that include two performance metrics under our Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") where the performance measurement period is three years . Vesting of the LTIP awards on the 2021, 2022 and 2023 plans are based on the following: (i) 25 % is based on our level of attainment of specified TSR targets relative to the percentage appreciation of a specified index of companies for the respective three-year periods, and (ii) 75 % is based on achievement of a three-year cumulative operating income target. In order to estimate the fair value of such awards, we used a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model for the market condition portion of the award, and used the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant for the portion related to the performance condition.
The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally four years for options and three years for restricted stock units. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to our employee stock purchase plan using an accelerated attribution method.

As of August 31, 2023, transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $ 288 million. We expect to recognize approximately 77 % of the revenue within the next year and the remainder thereafter.
18
Deferred Contract Costs
Certain of our sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Depending upon the sales incentive program and the related revenue arrangement, such capitalized costs are amortized over the longer of (i) the product life, which is generally three to five years ; or (ii) the term of the related revenue contract. We determined that a three to five year product life represents the period of benefit that we receive from these incremental costs based on both qualitative and quantitative factors, which include customer contracts, industry norms, and product upgrades. Total deferred contract costs were $ 8.0 million and $ 8.8 million as of August 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and are included in other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred contract costs is included in sales and marketing expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and was minimal in all periods presented.
Note 12: Restructuring Charges
The following table provides a summary of activity for our restructuring actions (in thousands):
Excess Facilities and Other Costs Employee Severance and Related Benefits Total
Balance, December 1, 2022 $ 3,870 $ 30 $ 3,900
Costs incurred 644 5,586 6,230
Cash disbursements ( 1,146 ) ( 3,836 ) ( 4,982 )
Translation and other adjustments — 19 19
Balance, August 31, 2023 $ 3,368 $ 1,799 $ 5,167
During fiscal year 2023, we restructured our operations in connection with the acquisition and subsequent integration of MarkLogic, which resulted in a reduction in redundant positions, primarily within administrative functions. Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under this restructuring are expected to be made through fiscal year 2023. We expect to incur additional expenses as part of these actions related to employee costs and facility closures during fiscal year 2024, but we do not expect these costs to be material.
Note 13: Earnings per share
We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and deferred stock units, using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share on an interim basis (in thousands, except per share data):
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022
Net income $ 19,098 $ 21,797 $ 54,862 $ 71,361
Weighted average shares outstanding 43,452 43,211 43,365 43,589
Basic earnings per common share $ 0.44 $ 0.50 $ 1.27 $ 1.64
Diluted earnings per common share:
Net income $ 19,098 $ 21,797 $ 54,862 $ 71,361
Weighted average shares outstanding 43,452 43,211 43,365 43,589
Effect of dilution from common stock equivalents 1,353 724 1,178 710
Effect of dilution from if-converted Convertible Senior Notes 176 — — —
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 44,981 43,935 44,543 44,299
Diluted earnings per share $ 0.42 $ 0.50 $ 1.23 $ 1.61
We excluded stock awards representing approximately 252,000 and 286,000 shares of common stock from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, respectively, as these awards were anti-dilutive. We excluded stock awards representing approximately 1,777,000 and 1,739,000 shares of common stock from the calculation
19
of diluted earnings per share in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively, as these awards were anti-dilutive.
The dilutive impact of the Notes on our calculation of diluted earnings per share is considered using the if-converted method. For the three months ended August 31, 2023, the average daily closing price of the Company's common stock was greater than the conversion price for the Notes outstanding as of August 31, 2023. Therefore, for this period, the Company applied the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per common share. During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the average daily closing price of the Company's common stock was less than the conversion price for the Notes. Therefore, for this period, the Notes had no impact on the computation of diluted earnings per common share.
Note 14: Segment Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.
We operate as one operating segment: software products to develop, deploy, and manage high-impact applications. Our CODM evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis. As we operate as one operating segment, the required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 15: Cyber Related Matters
November 2022 Cyber Incident
Following the detection of irregular activity on certain portions of our corporate network, we engaged outside cybersecurity experts and other incident response professionals to conduct a forensic investigation and assess the extent and scope of the cyber incident. Costs for this cyber incident were primarily related to the engagement of external cybersecurity experts and other incident response professionals. We did not incur any meaningful costs related to this cyber incident for the three months ended August 31, 2023. For the nine months ended August 31, 2023, we incurred $ 4.2 million of costs related to this cyber incident. Costs are provided net of received and expected insurance recoveries of approximately $ 3.0 million, which was recognized during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses.
MOVEit Vulnerability
As previously reported, on the evening of May 28, 2023, our MOVEit technical support team received an initial customer support call indicating unusual activity within their MOVEit Transfer instance. An investigative team was mobilized and, on May 30, 2023, the investigative team discovered a zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer (including our cloud-hosted version of MOVEit Transfer known as MOVEit Cloud). The investigative team determined the zero-day vulnerability (the “MOVEit Vulnerability”) could provide for unauthorized escalated privileges and access to the customer’s underlying environment in both MOVEit Transfer (the on-premise version) and MOVEit Cloud (a cloud-hosted version of MOVEit Transfer that we deploy in both (i) a public cloud format, as well as (ii) for a small group of customers, in customer-dedicated cloud instances that are hosted, separate and apart from the public instances of our MOVEit Cloud platform).
We will continue to assess the potential impact of the MOVEit Vulnerability on our business, operations, and financial results. MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Cloud represented less than 4 % in aggregate of our revenue for the nine months ended August 31, 2023.
Litigation and Governmental Investigations
As of the date of the issuance of the financial statements, (i) we have received formal letters from 23 customers and others that claim to have been impacted by the MOVEit Vulnerability, some of which have indicated that they intend to seek indemnification from us related to the MOVEit Vulnerability, (ii) we have received a letter from an insurer providing for notice of a subrogation claim (where the insurer is seeking recovery for all expenses incurred in connection with the MOVEit Vulnerability), and (iii) we are party to 58 class action lawsuits filed by individuals who claim to have been impacted by the exfiltration of data from the environments of our MOVEit Transfer customers (on October 4, 2023, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order consolidating litigation relating to the MOVEit Vulnerability where we are a party in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts).
We have also been cooperating with several inquiries from domestic and foreign data privacy regulators, inquiries from several state attorneys general, as well as formal investigations from: (i) a U.S. federal law enforcement agency (as of the date of the filing of this report, the law enforcement investigation that we are cooperating with is not an enforcement action or formal
20
governmental investigation of which we have been told that we are a target), and (ii) the SEC (as further described hereafter). On October 2, 2023, Progress received a subpoena from the SEC seeking various documents and information relating to the MOVEit Vulnerability. As described in the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, at this stage, the SEC investigation is a fact-finding inquiry, the investigation does not mean that Progress or anyone else has violated federal securities laws, and the investigation does not mean that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security. Progress intends to cooperate fully with the SEC in its investigation.
Expenses Incurred and Future Costs
For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, we incurred $ 1.0 million of costs related to the MOVEit Vulnerability. The costs recognized are net of received and expected insurance recoveries of approximately $ 1.9 million, which was recognized during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses. We expect to incur investigation, legal and professional services expenses associated with the MOVEit Vulnerability in future periods. We will recognize these expenses as services are received, net of received and expected insurance recoveries. While a loss from these matters is possible, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses at this time, particularly while the foregoing matters remain ongoing. Furthermore, with respect to the litigation, the proceedings remain in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class if certified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. Also, each of the governmental inquiries and investigations mentioned above could result in adverse judgements, settlements, fines, penalties, or other resolutions, the amount, scope and timing of which could be material, but which we are currently unable to predict. Therefore, we have not recorded a loss contingency liability for the MOVEit Vulnerability as of August 31, 2023.
Insurance Coverage
During the period when the November 2022 cyber incident and the MOVEit Vulnerability occurred, we maintained $ 15.0 million of cybersecurity insurance coverage, which is expected to reduce our exposure to expenses and liabilities arising from these events. As of August 31, 2023, we have recorded approximately $ 4.9 million in insurance recoveries, of which $ 3.0 million was related to the November 2022 cyber incident and $ 1.9 million was related to the May 2023 MOVEit Vulnerability, providing us with $ 10.1 million of additional cybersecurity insurance coverage (which is subject to a $ 0.5 million retention per claim). We will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under our insurance policies.
