Financial Outlook
Current report
As of August 7, 2025, the Company’s full year Fiscal 2026 outlook is as follows:
Current report
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.
Current report
In addition, we intend to continue our strong capital allocation program with our quarterly dividend and renewed share repurchase program. See Note 26 “Subsequent Events” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Strategic Priorities
Current report
We believe our strategic priorities position us well to create both near and long-term shareholder value through organic and inorganic growth, greater capital efficiency and improved profitability. As an organization, we are focused on our three strategic priorities:
Current report
•Expanding our competitive advantage: We believe we are well positioned in our key markets to increase our competitive AI-first advantage through our product cycle and leading with Business AI, Business Clouds and Business Security.
Current report
Looking ahead, innovation continues to move to the cloud. Businesses rely on a mix of public and private clouds, managed services, and off-cloud options. We’re modernizing our infrastructure and building on our OpenText Cloud investments to meet customers where they are. Our cloud-native applications, combined with public cloud partners and managed services, provide secure, scalable solutions. With multi-tenant SaaS and embedded AI across our portfolio—including Titanium X—we aim to deliver greater flexibility, productivity, and choice.
Current report
•Total revenue growth: We are committed to total revenue growth through organic initiatives, innovation and acquisitions.
Current report
We believe in a programmatic approach to growth through tuck-in acquisitions or when they align with our strategic priorities. We expect to carry out programmatic divestitures, when that is the best opportunity to monetize long-term returns for mature products. We will remain flexible and allocate our capital accordingly to the highest return scenario. We regularly evaluate such opportunities within the Information Management market and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities. This strategy will often align to how we assess which of our products are performing compared to outperforming in growth and our capital allocation revenue growth expectations.
Current report
•Achieving Operational Excellence: We focus on driving margin and earnings expansion, free cash flow growth, and capital return. We focus on expanding profitability so as to drive cash flow growth, which helps fuel our innovation and capital allocation priorities.
Current report
As previously announced, our Business Optimization Plan was designed to support strategic initiatives, integration and simplification efforts following the Micro Focus acquisition, AMC Divestiture and AI-first innovation and growth plans.
Current report
As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred $127.9 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. On a combined basis, the expansion is expected to result in a total net reduction of approximately 2,000 positions.
Current report
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 has 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” included within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details.

Additional Considerations
Current report
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, the imposition of tariffs and other restrictive measures. These tariffs and other restrictive measures do not currently target 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.
Current report
Our total revenues decreased by $601.2 million, primarily across license and customer support product types, in the year ended June 30, 2025 relative to the year ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the exclusion of revenue contributions from the AMC business, and after factoring the unfavourable impact of $2.8 million of foreign exchange rate changes. The following table illustrates the revenues contributed by the AMC business during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Current report
Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we have disclosed the cloud renewal rate on a net basis (cloud net renewal rate). This rate includes increases and decreases in renewed contract values driven by product mix, volume and consumption, and changes for price adjustments relating to renewed contract values, which were not part of the historical calculation of the cloud renewal rate. For the year ended June 30, 2025, our cloud net renewal rate, excluding the impact of Carbonite Inc. and Zix Corporation, was 96%.
Current report
Cloud services and subscriptions revenues increased by $36.0 million or 2.0% during the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior fiscal year; up 2.1% after factoring in the unfavourable impact of $1.5 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to an increase in EMEA of $43.0 million, a decrease in Americas of $5.3 million, and a decrease in Asia Pacific of $1.7 million.
Current report
Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we have disclosed the customer support renewal rate on a net basis (customer support net renewal rate). This rate includes increases in renewed contract values driven by volume and consumption, and excludes reductions driven by shifts from customer support renewals where customers migrate to other product types, which were not part of the historical calculation of the customer support renewal rate. For the year ended June 30, 2025, our customer support net renewal rate was 91%.
Current report
Customer support revenues decreased by $379.3 million or 14.0% during the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior fiscal year; down 13.9% after factoring in the unfavourable impact of $2.9 million of foreign exchange rate changes. The decrease was primarily due to the exclusion of customer support revenue contributions of $283.5 million as a result of the AMC Divestiture. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to a decrease in Americas of $251.4 million, a decrease in EMEA of $89.7 million and a decrease in Asia Pacific of $38.2 million.
Current report
Professional service and other revenues decreased by $49.3 million or 12.3% during the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior fiscal year; down 12.5% after factoring in the favourable impact of $1.0 million of foreign exchange rate changes. The decrease was partially due to the exclusion of professional services revenue contributions as a result of the AMC Divestiture. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to a decrease in Americas of $30.6 million, a decrease in EMEA of $17.8 million, and a decrease in Asia Pacific of $0.9 million.
Current report
(1)Beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company reclassified certain expenses previously included within Research and development to Sales and marketing in the Consolidated Statements of Income to provide a better representation of the function of the expenses and reclassified prior period information to conform to the current presentation.
Current report
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $103.6 million during the year ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily from the exclusion of sales and marketing expenses as of result of the AMC Divestiture, and restructuring and other cost savings initiatives. Payroll and payroll-related benefits, which is comprised of salaries, benefits and variable short-term incentives, decreased by $71.0 million, commissions decreased by $13.7 million, share-based compensation expense decreased by $8.9 million, facility-related expenses decreased by $7.7 million and contract labour and consulting expenses decreased by $4.3 million. Overall, our sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, remained stable at 20% compared to the prior fiscal year.
Current report
Depreciation expenses decreased during the year ended June 30, 2025 by $1.0 million compared to the prior fiscal year. Depreciation expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2025 to 3% from 2% in the prior fiscal year.
Current report
Special charges (recoveries) increased by $10.6 million during the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to an increase in restructuring costs of $127.9 million related to the Business Optimization Plan, partially offset by a decrease in restructuring costs of $72.7 million, related to the Micro Focus Acquisition, and a decrease in divestiture related costs of $41.9 million as compared to the prior fiscal year.
Current report
Numerous countries have agreed to a statement in support of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development model rules that propose a global minimum tax rate of 15% for companies with revenue above €750 million, calculated on a country-by-country basis. Countries with significant operations for Open Text that have enacted the legislation include Canada and UK. We are continuing to monitor when and how such rules in other jurisdictions will be enacted into law. As of the year ended June 30, 2025, the impact of the global minimum tax is not material.
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted, 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 Company is currently assessing the future implications of these tax law changes.

As an organization, we are committed to “Total Growth”, meaning we strive towards delivering value through organic initiatives, innovations and acquisitions. With an emphasis on increasing recurring revenues and expanding profitability, we believe our Total Growth strategy will ultimately drive cash flow growth, thus helping to fuel our innovation, broaden our go-to-market distribution and identify and execute strategic acquisitions.

The combination of OpenText cloud-native applications and managed services, together with the scalability and performance of our partner public cloud providers, offer more secure, reliable and compliant solutions to customers wanting to deploy cloud-based Information Management applications.

Carbonite Class Action Complaint
Previous report
On August 1, 2019, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite Inc. (Carbonite), a purported stockholder of Carbonite filed a putative class action complaint against Carbonite, its former Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad S. Ali, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Folger, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts captioned Ruben A. Luna, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19-cv-11662-LTS) (the Luna Complaint). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements in connection with Carbonite’s Server Backup VM Edition, and seeks, among other things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearly identical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the Securities Actions).

On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants moved to dismiss the Securities Actions on March 10, 2020. On October 22, 2020, the district court granted with prejudice the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Actions.

Over the last three fiscal years, we have invested a cumulative total of $2.01 billion in R&D or 14.7% of cumulative revenue for that three-year period. On an annual basis, we continue to target to spend 14% to 16% of revenues on R&D expense. With our innovation roadmap delivered, we believe we have fortified our support for customer choice: private cloud, public cloud, off-cloud, and API cloud.

As part of cloud services and subscription revenues, in connection with cloud subscription and managed service contracts, we often agree to perform a variety of services before the customer goes live, such as, converting and migrating customer data, building interfaces and providing training. These services are considered an outsourced suite of professional services which can involve certain project-based activities. These services can be provided at the initiation of a contract, during the implementation or on an ongoing basis as part of the customer life cycle. These services can be charged separately on a fixed fee or a time and materials basis, or the costs associated may be recovered as part of the ongoing cloud subscription or managed services fee. These outsourced professional services are considered to be distinct from the ongoing hosting services and represent a separate performance obligation within our cloud subscription or managed services arrangements. The obligation to provide outsourced professional services is satisfied over time, with the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits as we satisfy our performance obligations. For outsourced professional services, we recognize revenue by measuring progress toward the satisfaction of our performance obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours. As a practical expedient, when we invoice a customer at an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance to date, we recognize revenue at that amount.

We account for our uncertain tax provisions by using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of the available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained on audit, including the resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize is measured as the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be realized. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. On subsequent recognition and measurement, the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent the Company’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, although the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. We recognize both accrued interest and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes within the “Provision for (recovery of) income taxes” line of our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of the available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained on audit, including the resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize is measured as the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be realized. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. On subsequent recognition and measurement, the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent the Company’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, although the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. We recognize both accrued interest and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes within the Provision for income taxes line of our Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 year ended June 30, 2024, our Customer support renewal rate, excluding the impact of Carbonite, Zix and Micro Focus, was approximately 95%, consistent with the year ended June 30, 2023.
