Insights

OpenText's Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a mixed financial picture. While annual revenues grew impressively by 28.6% to $5.8 billion, Q4 revenues declined 8.6% year-over-year to $1.36 billion, partly due to the divestiture of the AMC business. This divestiture, which brought in $2.275 billion, significantly boosted net income but impacted overall revenue.

The company's focus on recurring revenue streams is evident, with annual recurring revenues comprising 79% of total revenues. Cloud revenues showed modest growth of 7.1% annually and 2.9% in Q4, indicating steady progress in cloud adoption.

OpenText's profitability metrics are strong, with adjusted EBITDA margin at 34.1% for the year. The company's ability to generate free cash flow of $808 million is commendable, especially considering the investments in cloud, security and AI.

The announcement of a $300 million share repurchase program and a 5% dividend increase signals confidence in future cash flows. However, investors should note the significant debt prepayment of $2.766 billion, which reduced the net leverage ratio from 3.8x to 2.9x, indicating a focus on strengthening the balance sheet.

Overall, while the Q4 results show some challenges, the full-year performance and strategic moves position OpenText for potential growth, especially in cloud and AI-driven services.

OpenText's financial results reflect the ongoing transformation in the enterprise software industry. The company's strategic focus on cloud services and AI integration is evident in its product developments and financial priorities.

The 7.1% growth in cloud revenues, while modest, indicates a steady shift towards cloud-based solutions. This aligns with broader industry trends as enterprises increasingly adopt cloud technologies for information management. The 32.9% increase in enterprise cloud bookings is particularly noteworthy, suggesting strong future growth potential in this segment.

OpenText's acquisition of Pillr, a cybersecurity MDR platform, demonstrates the company's commitment to enhancing its security offerings. This move is timely, given the increasing importance of cybersecurity in enterprise IT strategies.

The company's recognition as a leader in IDC MarketScapes for unified endpoint management and client endpoint management for Microsoft Windows devices underscores its competitive position in key technology areas. Similarly, the FedRAMP authorization for OpenText cloud for government solution opens up significant opportunities in the public sector market.

The emphasis on AI, as seen in the IDOL™ platform's recognition in document mining and analytics, aligns with the industry's focus on AI-driven solutions. This positions OpenText well to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-enhanced information management tools.

While the divestiture of the AMC business may have impacted short-term revenues, it allows OpenText to focus on core growth areas in cloud and AI technologies, potentially driving long-term value creation in line with evolving market demands.

As part of our quarterly, non-cumulative cash dividend program, the Board declared on July 31, 2024, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.2625 per common share. The record date for this dividend is August 30, 2024, and the payment date is September 20, 2024. Any future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are all subject to the final determination and discretion of the Board of Directors.

Share Repurchase Plan/Normal Course Issuer Bid
OpenText also announced today that, in order to align its share repurchase plan to its fiscal year, it has terminated its existing share repurchase plan (the "Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan") and commenced a new share repurchase plan (the "Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan"), pursuant to which it intends to purchase for cancellation in open market transactions, from time to time over the next 12 months, if considered advisable, up to a maximum of 21,179,064 common shares, subject to a maximum aggregate value of US$300 million, on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the NASDAQ Global Select Market and/or alternative trading systems in Canada and/or the United States, if eligible, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules. The price that OpenText will pay for common shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted by applicable law or stock exchange rules.

Under the Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan, which was voluntarily terminated by OpenText on July 31, 2024, OpenText purchased and cancelled 5,073,913 common shares, through the facilities of the TSX or by such other permitted means, out of the 13,643,472 common shares it was authorized to repurchase, for an aggregate amount of approximately US$150 million and at a volume-weighted average purchase price of US$29.57 per common share. As a result of the early termination of the Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan, the 5,073,913 Common Shares purchased under the Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan will be deducted from the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan's annual limit as per the requirements of the TSX.

Under the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan, during the course of Fiscal 2025, OpenText intends to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, up to US$300 million of its issued and outstanding common shares, subject to a maximum of 21,179,064 common shares, representing 10% of the Company's public float (calculated in accordance with TSX rules) as at July 24, 2024, less the 5,073,913 common shares purchased under the Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan.  Purchases made under the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan may commence on August 7, 2024 and will expire on August 6, 2025.

The Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan will be effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  All common shares purchased by OpenText pursuant to the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan will be cancelled.

The Company's decision to commence the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan to purchase up to US$300 million of its issued and outstanding common shares, in addition to the approximately US$150 million of common shares purchased and cancelled under the Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan, for a total of approximately US$450 million of expected share repurchases over five fiscal quarters, is indicative of its confidence in its operational execution and expanding cash flows, with the Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan being part of the Company's previously disclosed overall strategic capital allocation, complementing its ongoing M&A activity and dividend program.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

The Company has voluntarily terminated its existing normal course issuer bid (the "Fiscal 2024 NCIB") and commenced a new normal course issuer bid (the "Fiscal 2025 NCIB") in order to provide it with a means to execute purchases over the TSX during the course of Fiscal 2025 as part of the overall Fiscal 2025 Repurchase Plan.

The TSX has approved the Company's voluntary termination of the Fiscal 2024 NCIB. The TSX has also approved the Company's notice of intention to commence the Fiscal 2025 NCIB pursuant to which the Company may purchase common shares over the TSX for the period commencing August 7, 2024 until August 6, 2025 in accordance with the TSX's normal course issuer bid rules, including that such purchases are to be made at prevailing market prices or as otherwise permitted. Under the rules of the TSX, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased in this period is 21,179,064 common shares (representing 10% of the Company's public float (calculated in accordance with TSX rules) as at July 24, 2024, less the 5,073,913 common shares purchased under the Fiscal 2024 NCIB), and the maximum number of shares that may be purchased on a single day is 138,175 common shares, which is 25% of 552,700 (the average daily trading volume for the common shares on the TSX for the six months ended March 31, 2024), subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, subject in any case to the volume and other limitations under Rule 10b-18.

The purchases made under the Fiscal 2024 Repurchase Plan are the only common shares purchased and cancelled under a normal course issuer bid within the past 12 months.

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 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 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 (loss) 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income (loss), 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.




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 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 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 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. Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to F'25 targets and F'27 aspirations, including A-EBITDA is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.




The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP-based financial measures to Non-GAAP-based financial measures for the following periods presented. The Micro Focus Acquisition significantly impacts period-over-period comparability.

(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.

(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 49% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%; 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. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately  14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

(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.

(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 36% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%; 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. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately  14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.
