Annualized recurring revenues financial
"Annualized recurring revenues (ARR) was $1,535,988 as of June 30, 2026"
Annualized recurring revenues (ARR) is a financial metric that converts a company’s predictable, repeatable income—usually from subscriptions, service contracts, or memberships—into a standardized yearly amount. Investors use ARR as a quick measure of the steady cash a business can expect each year, similar to annualizing a monthly paycheck to see how much you’d earn over twelve months; it helps assess growth, predictability and the value of the business.
AOI less Operating SBC financial
"AOI less Operating SBC was $116,036 for the three months ended June 30, 2026"
Constant currency financial
"Total revenues were $410,727, up 12.8% or 12.2% on a constant currency basis"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
Deferred compensation plan financial
"Deferred compensation plan expense was $11,661 for the three months ended June 30, 2026"
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
Convertible senior notes financial
"Convertible senior notes due July 2027 (the 2027 Notes) totaled $575,000"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q is for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q modifies and supersedes documents filed before it. The United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you directly to those documents. Information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. In addition, information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.
Unless indicated otherwise, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, we refer to Bentley Systems, Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries, as “Bentley Systems,” “Bentley,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our.”
This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q contains trademarks, service marks, brands, or product names owned by us, as well as those owned by others.
Numerical information in this report is presented on a rounded basis using actual amounts. Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q includes forward‑looking statements. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, our business strategy, and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward‑looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “seeks,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions, as well as statements regarding our focus for the future, are intended to identify forward‑looking statements. We have based these forward‑looking statements largely on our current expectations, projections, and assumptions about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short‑term and long‑term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward‑looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward‑looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward‑looking statements. The forward‑looking statements, as well as our Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward‑looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q in greater detail in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. You should not rely upon forward‑looking statements as predictions of future events.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward‑looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, events, or circumstances reflected in the forward‑looking statements will occur. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any of these forward‑looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025‑06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025‑06”), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under Subtopic 350-40, referred to as internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within that annual reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 may be adopted on a prospective basis to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date, on a retrospective basis to all periods presented, or on a modified prospective transition basis for in-process projects through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025‑06 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024‑03, Income Statements–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024‑03”), which requires enhanced disclosure of income statement expense categories to improve transparency and provide financial statement users with more detailed information about the nature, amount, and timing of expenses impacting financial performance. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 may be adopted either on a prospective basis to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024‑03, however, other than additional disclosure, the Company does not expect a change to the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33‑11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate‑Related Disclosures for Investors. The final rule requires registrants to disclose certain climate‑related information in registration statements and annual reports. The final rule disclosure requirements would have begun phasing in prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rule pending completion of a judicial review of certain petitions challenging their validity. In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the final rule. In September 2025, judicial review was suspended awaiting SEC clarity on its position. In May 2026, the SEC issued a formal proposal to rescind the final rule in its entirety. The Company will continue to monitor the formal administrative outcomes of the SEC’s rescission proposal and evaluate the potential impact of the final rule, if any, on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025‑05, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025‑05”), which provides public entities with an optional practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivables and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company adopted ASU 2025‑05 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and elected the practical expedient, which permits the assumption that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The adoption of ASU 2025‑05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase accounting for an acquisition completed during the year ended December 31, 2025. The initial accounting for this business combination is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired is still in process. The provisional amounts are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified from the date of the acquisition as more information is obtained about the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however, such measurement period cannot exceed one year. The primary areas of preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to working capital, tax assets and liabilities, and amounts allocated to goodwill.

Stock‑based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Specifically for performance‑based RSUs, stock‑based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards expected to vest at each reporting date. The Company accounts for forfeitures of equity awards as those forfeitures occur.
Bentley Systems, Incorporated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company’s 2020 Plan provides for the granting of stock, stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and other stock‑based or performance‑based awards to certain directors, officers, colleagues, consultants, and advisors of the Company, and terminates in September 2030. The 2020 Plan provides that 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock may be issued for equity awards. Equity awards that are expired, canceled, forfeited, or terminated for any reason will be available for future grant under the 2020 Plan. As of June 30, 2026, equity awards available for future grants under the 2020 Plan were 16,303,754 .
Restricted Stock and RSUs
Under the 2020 Plan, the Company may grant both time‑based and performance‑based shares of restricted Class B common stock and RSUs to eligible colleagues. Time‑based awards generally vest ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Performance‑based awards vesting is determined by the achievement of certain business growth targets established by the Sustainability Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Performance targets are generally set for performance periods of one year to three years , which are subject to certain cliff vesting performance targets.

Note 17: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
A financial asset or liability classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, account receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accruals, certain other current and long‑term liabilities, and long‑term debt.
Current Assets and Current Liabilities — In general, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short‑term nature of those instruments.
25
Table of Contents
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements for Level 2 financial instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
Interest Rate Swap — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap asset or liability is determined using an income approach and is measured based on the implied forward rates for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities — The fair value of deferred compensation plan liabilities, including the liability classified phantom investments in the DCP, are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.

Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various purchase commitments for goods and services. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into approximately $204,000 of non‑cancelable future cash purchase commitments for services related to cloud provisioning of the Company’s software and for internal-use software costs. As of June 30, 2026, total non‑cancelable future cash purchase commitments were approximately $249,600 to be paid through 2029. The Company expects to fully consume its contractual commitments in the ordinary course of operations.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, based upon the advice of counsel, the outcome of such actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 19: Segment and Geographic Information
The Company operates and manages its business in a single reportable segment, the development and marketing of computer software and related services. The Company defines its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to be its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The Company’s reported measures of profit or loss for segment reporting purposes are Net income and Adjusted operating income less operating stock‑based compensation expense (“AOI less Operating SBC”). The CODM is regularly provided Net income and AOI less Operating SBC to understand the Company’s financial and operating results across accounting periods and for comparison of the Company’s results to those of other companies. The CODM regularly reviews AOI less Operating SBC for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, to evaluate operating performance, and to make decisions on allocation of resources. The CODM does not use segment asset information to evaluate operating performance or allocate resources.
The presentation of Net income is included in the consolidated statements of operations. AOI less Operating SBC is a non‑GAAP financial measure and is defined as operating income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses (inclusive of cash‑ and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies), integration costs, and realignment expenses (income), for the respective periods.
The Company uses AOI less Operating SBC as its primary performance measure because management believes it better reflects the Company’s core operating results by excluding items that are not indicative of the ordinary operation of its business, including costs arising directly from acquisition activity and the costs of discrete realignment initiatives. Consistent with that objective, the Company refined the measure during 2026: beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company expanded its acquisition expenses adjustment to include cash- and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies, and renamed the measure from “AOI less SBC” to “AOI less Operating SBC”; and beginning in the second quarter of 2026, applying the same principle, the Company began adjusting for integration costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses into its operations. The Company continues to adjust for discrete realignment initiatives, and does not adjust for severance or organizational and workforce changes undertaken in the ordinary course of managing its business, which remain reflected in AOI less Operating SBC. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current definition; no integration costs were incurred in periods prior to the second quarter of 2026.

| AOI less Operating SBC | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
Further explanation of certain of the Company’s adjustments in arriving at AOI less Operating SBC are as follows:
(1)Acquisition expenses. The Company incurs expenses for professional services rendered in connection with business combinations, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s GAAP consolidated statements of operations. Also included in the Company’s acquisition expenses are cash- and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of the acquired companies.
(2)Integration costs. Integration costs are incremental costs incurred to integrate and consolidate acquired businesses with the Company’s existing operations, including where it combines an acquired business with an existing business and consolidate overlapping teams, products, and systems. These costs consist primarily of employee severance and related personnel costs arising from such consolidation, and also include contract termination costs and costs to combine or migrate systems, platforms, and processes, and, to a lesser extent, charges to exit or consolidate facilities or other assets, in each case incurred as a direct result of an acquisition. The Company excludes these costs when evaluating its continuing operational performance because they result from acquisition activity rather than the ordinary course of business. Integration costs do not include costs of discrete realignment initiatives that are not undertaken in connection with an acquisition, which are reported as realignment expenses (income). Integration costs may recur to the extent the Company completes and integrates additional acquisitions.
(3)Realignment expenses (income). Realignment expenses (income) consist of the costs of discrete, significant realignment initiatives that the Company formally approves and that have a defined scope of actions and completion timeline—such as a broad reorganization or workforce-reduction program—including employee severance and related personnel costs and associated facility or asset costs. Such initiatives arise from time to time, and the related costs may recur in future periods. The Company excludes these amounts when evaluating its continuing operational performance because such initiatives are distinct from the ordinary course of business. The Company does not adjust for severance or organizational and workforce changes undertaken in the ordinary course of managing its business, which remain reflected in the measure.
“Headcount‑related” costs are considered the Company’s significant expense category and primarily include salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock‑based compensation expense, employment taxes, travel, training, and realignment and optimization of the Company’s colleagues, and third‑party personnel expenses and related overhead. Certain of these amounts—cash- and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies, integration costs, and the costs of discrete realignment initiatives—are excluded in deriving AOI less Operating SBC, as described in the reconciliation above. The CODM is regularly provided headcount‑related costs to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, to evaluate financial performance, and to align colleague resources and evaluate compensation to support the Company’s operational efficiency and maximize long‑term growth. Headcount‑related costs of $236,745 and $209,081 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $465,087 and $408,690 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are included in Cost of subscriptions and licenses, Cost of services, Research and development, Selling and marketing, and General and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.

These other segment items primarily include cloud‑related costs incurred for servicing the Company’s accounts using cloud provisioned offerings and the Company’s license administration platform, channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage to users, marketing costs, acquisition costs, depreciation expense, and amortization expense recorded in Cost of subscriptions and licenses, Cost of services, Research and development, Selling and marketing, and General and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, other segment items include Deferred compensation plan expense (income), Amortization of purchased intangibles, and non‑operating expense (income) amounts presented in the consolidated statements of operations.
Under the Company’s AOI less Operating SBC measure of profit or loss for segment reporting purposes, other segment items were $62,119 and $51,596 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $120,697 and $97,125 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These other segment items primarily include cloud‑related costs incurred for servicing the Company’s accounts using cloud provisioned offerings and the Company’s license administration platform, channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage to users, marketing costs, and depreciation expense recorded in Cost of subscriptions and licenses, Cost of services, Research and development, Selling and marketing, and General and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. Within the reconciliation of AOI less Operating SBC, cash- and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies included as a component of acquisition expenses totaling $2,373 and $3,340 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $6,035 and $6,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of headcount‑related costs. Additionally, within the reconciliation of AOI less Operating SBC, integration costs of $1,800

Note 21: Net Income Per Share Attributable to Bentley Systems Stockholders
To compute the numerator of basic net income per share attributable to Bentley Systems stockholders, undistributed net income attributable to Bentley Systems allocated to participating securities (described further below) using the required two‑class method, is subtracted from net income attributable to Bentley Systems. The denominator of basic net income per share attributable to Bentley Systems stockholders is the weighted average number of shares, inclusive of undistributed shares held in the DCP as phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.
The Company may issue performance-based RSUs that meet the definition of participating securities, as the holders are entitled to non-forfeitable dividend rights upon the declaration of dividends on the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2026, no participating securities were outstanding and as of June 30, 2025, 206,013 participating securities were outstanding.
To compute the numerator of diluted net income per share attributable to Bentley Systems stockholders, interest expense, net of tax, attributable to the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes using the if‑converted method is added back to basic net income attributable to Bentley Systems. To compute the denominator of diluted net income per share attributable to Bentley Systems stockholders, the basic weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans and ESPP using the treasury stock method, and for the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes using the if‑converted method.
Except with respect to voting and conversion, the rights of the holders of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock are identical. Each class of shares has the same rights to dividends and allocation of income (loss) and, therefore, net income per share attributable to Bentley Systems stockholders would not differ under the two‑class method.

The Company repaid the 2026 Notes at maturity on January 15, 2026, and no shares of the Company’s Class B common stock were issued upon settlement. Following the repayment, the 2026 Notes no longer represent potential common shares and were excluded from the dilutive effect of assumed conversion for periods after that date.

Results of Operations:
Our results of operations have been, and in the future will be, affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Other than the natural hedge attributable to matching revenues and expenses in the same currencies, we do not currently hedge foreign currency exposure.
We identify the effects of foreign currency on our operations and present constant currency growth rates and fluctuations because we believe exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period‑over‑period comparisons and enhance the understanding of our results and evaluation of our performance. Refer to the “Non‑GAAP Financial Measures” section for additional information, including our definition and our use of constant currency.

(1)Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for additional information, including our definition and our use of constant currency, and for a reconciliation of constant currency growth rates.
The increase in total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by an increase in subscriptions revenues, and to a lesser extent, an increase in services revenues, partially offset by a decrease in perpetual licenses revenues. Our business performance includes the impact from programmatic acquisitions, which generally are immaterial, individually and in the aggregate.
Subscriptions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, subscriptions revenues increased $45,183 ($43,382 on a constant currency basis) and $95,349 ($85,116 on a constant currency basis), respectively, primarily driven by expansion from accounts with revenues in the same period in the prior year (“existing accounts”), and growth of 3% attributable to new accounts, most notably small- and medium-sized accounts. Increases in subscriptions revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were led by Bentley Open Applications and Seequent applications, and to a lesser extent, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud.
Perpetual licenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, perpetual licenses revenues decreased $486 ($610 on a constant currency basis) and $2,221 ($2,556 on a constant currency basis), respectively.
Services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, services revenues increased $1,924 ($1,771 on a constant currency basis) and $7,132 ($6,267 on a constant currency basis), respectively, primarily due to strength in Maximo‑related work within our digital integrator.

Research and development. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, on a constant currency basis, research and development expenses increased primarily due to an increase in headcount‑related costs of $5,297 and $11,733, respectively, mainly due to increases in annual and other compensation costs.
Selling and marketing. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, on a constant currency basis, selling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to an increase in headcount‑related costs of $7,181 and $13,365, respectively, mainly due to increases in annual and other compensation costs, and an increase in promotional costs of $1,560 and $3,988, respectively.
General and administrative. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, on a constant currency basis, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher headcount‑related costs of $9,392 and $16,527, respectively. This increase reflected annual compensation increases, higher bonuses, stock‑based compensation expense, and associated employment taxes, as well as strategic headcount expansion across our corporate functions, as we continue to scale the business. The comparison also reflects a prior-year period in which general and administrative expenses had decreased on a constant currency basis when compared to the same periods in 2024.
Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased in connection with our new enterprise-wide administrative and business management platform, which went live during the second quarter of 2026. This increase reflected higher software subscription costs, as well as certain non‑recurring costs, including incremental audit and internal-control implementation costs and higher travel costs associated with system testing and go-live activities. General and administrative expenses were also affected by lower capitalization of internal-use software implementation costs as compared to the prior-year period, during which a greater portion of these costs was deferred. We expect the higher software subscription costs and reduced capitalization associated with the platforms to continue to affect general and administrative expenses.
In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized approximately $2,200 of non‑recurring third‑party costs associated with other corporate initiatives, which did not occur in the prior-year period.
Deferred compensation plan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, deferred compensation plan expense was attributable to the marked to market impact on deferred compensation plan liability balances period over period.
Amortization of purchased intangibles. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, amortization of purchased intangibles was flat compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Key Business Metrics:
In addition to our results of operations discussed above, we believe the following presentation of key business metrics provides additional useful information to investors regarding our results of operations. To the extent material, we disclose below the additional purposes, if any, for which our management uses these key business metrics. Our key business metrics may vary significantly from period to period for reasons unrelated to our operating performance and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Recurring Revenues
Recurring revenues are the basis for our other revenue-related key business metrics. We believe this measure is useful in evaluating our ability to consistently retain and grow our revenues within our existing accounts.
Recurring revenues are subscriptions revenues that recur monthly, quarterly, or annually with specific or automatic renewal clauses and professional services revenues in which the underlying contract is based on a fixed fee and contains automatic annual renewal provisions.
ARR
ARR is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating the scale and growth of our business as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. Furthermore, we believe ARR, considered in connection with our last twelve‑month recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rate, is a leading indicator of revenue growth.
ARR is defined as the sum of the annualized value of our portfolio of contracts that produce recurring revenues as of the last day of the reporting period, and the annualized value of the last three months of recognized revenues for our contractually recurring consumption‑based software subscriptions with consumption measurement durations of less than one year, calculated using the spot foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that the last three months of recognized revenues, on an annualized basis, for our recurring software subscriptions with consumption measurement period durations of less than one year is a reasonable estimate of the annual revenues, given our consistently high retention rate and stability of usage under such subscriptions.
ARR resulting from the annualization of recurring contracts with consumption measurement durations of less than one year, as a percentage of total ARR, was 51% as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, with our E365 subscription offering representing 46% and 45% of total ARR as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Constant currency ARR growth rate is the growth rate of ARR measured on a constant currency basis. In reporting period‑over‑period ARR growth rates in constant currency, we calculate constant currency growth rates by translating current and prior period ARR on a transactional basis to our reporting currency using current year budget exchange rates. We believe that ARR growth is an important metric indicating the scale and growth of our business.

Last Twelve‑Months Recurring Revenues
Last twelve‑month recurring revenues is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating our ability to consistently retain and grow our recurring revenues. We believe that we will continue to experience favorable growth in recurring revenues primarily due to our strong account retention and recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rates, as well as the addition of new accounts with recurring revenues.
Last twelve‑months recurring revenues is calculated as recurring revenues recognized over the preceding twelve‑month period.
The last twelve‑months recurring revenues for the periods ended June 30, 2026 compared to the last twelve‑months of the comparative twelve‑month period increased by $176,982. This increase was primarily due to growth in ARR, which is primarily the result of growing our recurring revenues within our existing accounts as expressed in our recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rate, as well as additional recurring revenues resulting from new accounts and acquisitions. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 93% and 92%, respectively, of our revenues were recurring revenues.
Account Retention Rate
Account retention rate is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating the long‑term value of our account relationships and our ability to retain our account base. We believe that our consistent and high account retention rates illustrate our ability to retain and cultivate long‑term relationships with our accounts.
Account retention rate for any given twelve-month period is calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the prior period, as follows: the prior period recurring revenues from all accounts with recurring revenues in the current and prior period, divided by total recurring revenues from all accounts during the prior period.
Recurring Revenues Dollar‑Based Net Retention Rate
Recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rate is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating our ability to consistently retain and grow our recurring revenues.
Recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rate is calculated, using the average exchange rates for the prior period, as follows: the recurring revenues for the current period, including any growth or reductions from existing accounts, but excluding recurring revenues from any new accounts added during the current period, divided by the total recurring revenues from all accounts during the prior period. A period is defined as any trailing twelve months. Related to our platform acquisitions, recurring revenues into new accounts will be captured as existing accounts starting with the second anniversary of the acquisition when such data conforms to the calculation methodology. This may cause variability in the comparison.
Given that recurring revenues represented 93% and 92% of our total revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, this metric helps explain our revenue performance as primarily growth from existing accounts.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP discussed above, we believe the following presentation of financial measures not in accordance with GAAP provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations. To the extent material, we disclose below the additional purposes, if any, for which our management uses these non‑GAAP financial measures and provide reconciliations between these non‑GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non‑GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, including operating income, or other measures of performance. Our non‑GAAP financial measures may vary significantly from period to period for reasons unrelated to our operating performance and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

We use AOI less Operating SBC as our primary performance measure because we believe it better reflects our core operating results by excluding items that are not indicative of the ordinary operation of our business, including costs arising directly from our acquisition activity and the costs of discrete realignment initiatives. Consistent with that objective, we refined the measure during 2026: beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we expanded our acquisition expenses adjustment to include cash- and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies, and renamed the measure from “AOI less SBC” to “AOI less Operating SBC”; and beginning in the second quarter of 2026, applying the same principle, we began adjusting for integration costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations. We continue to adjust for discrete realignment initiatives, and we do not adjust for severance or organizational and workforce changes undertaken in the ordinary course of managing our business, which remain reflected in AOI less Operating SBC. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current definition; no integration costs were incurred in periods prior to the second quarter of 2026.
Adjusted Operating Income Less Operating Stock-Based Compensation Expense (“AOI less Operating SBC”)
AOI less Operating SBC is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used to measure the operational strength and performance of our business, as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business.
AOI less Operating SBC is defined as operating income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses (inclusive of cash‑ and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies), integration costs, and realignment expenses (income), for the respective periods.
AOI less Operating SBC is our primary performance measure, which excludes certain expenses and charges, including cash‑ and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies, as we believe these may not be indicative of our core business operating results. We intentionally include operating stock‑based compensation expense (non‑cash stock‑based compensation expense less equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies) in this measure as we believe it better captures the economic costs of our business.
Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, to evaluate financial performance, and in our comparison of our financial results to those of other companies. It is also a significant performance measure in certain of our executive incentive compensation programs.
Adjusted Operating Income (“AOI”)
Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors in making comparisons to other companies, although this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses (inclusive of cash‑ and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies), integration costs, realignment expenses (income), and operating stock‑based compensation expense (non‑cash stock‑based compensation expense less equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies), for the respective periods.

Further explanation of certain of our adjustments in arriving at AOI less Operating SBC and Adjusted operating income are as follows:
(1)Amortization of purchased intangibles. Amortization of purchased intangibles varies in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Management finds it useful to exclude these non‑cash charges from our operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning, and forecasting future periods. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will also contribute to our revenues in future periods. Amortization of purchased intangible assets will recur in future periods.
(2)Deferred compensation plan. We exclude Deferred compensation plan expense (income) when we evaluate our continuing operational performance because it is not reflective of our ongoing business and results of operations. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of this item on our total operating expenses. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the liabilities recorded as an expense (income) to Deferred compensation plan in the consolidated statements of operations.
(3)Acquisition expenses. We incur expenses for professional services rendered in connection with business combinations, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses in our GAAP consolidated statements of operations. Also included in our acquisition expenses are cash‑ and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of the acquired companies. We exclude these acquisition expenses when we evaluate our continuing operational performance as we would not have otherwise incurred these expenses in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations.
(4)Integration costs. Integration costs are incremental costs incurred to integrate and consolidate acquired businesses with our existing operations, including where we combine an acquired business with an existing business and consolidate overlapping teams, products, and systems. These costs consist primarily of employee severance and related personnel costs arising from such consolidation, and also include contract termination costs and costs to combine or migrate systems, platforms, and processes, and, to a lesser extent, charges to exit or consolidate facilities or other assets, in each case incurred as a direct result of an acquisition. We exclude these costs when evaluating our continuing operational performance because they result from acquisition activity rather than the ordinary course of business. Integration costs do not include costs of discrete realignment initiatives that are not undertaken in connection with an acquisition, which are reported as realignment expenses (income). Integration costs may recur to the extent we complete and integrate additional acquisitions.
(5)Realignment expenses (income). Realignment expenses (income) consist of the costs of discrete, significant realignment initiatives that we formally approve and that have a defined scope of actions and completion timeline—such as a broad reorganization or workforce-reduction program—including employee severance and related personnel costs and associated facility or asset costs. Such initiatives arise from time to time, and the related costs may recur in future periods. We exclude these amounts when evaluating our continuing operational performance because such initiatives are distinct from the ordinary course of business. We do not adjust for severance or organizational and workforce changes undertaken in the ordinary course of managing our business, which remain reflected in the measure.
(6)Operating stock‑based compensation expense. We define “operating” stock‑based compensation expense as non‑cash stock‑based compensation expense less equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies.

Constant Currency
Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures that present our results of operations excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A significant amount of our operations is conducted in foreign currencies. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use constant currency and constant currency growth rates to evaluate the underlying performance of the business, and we believe it is helpful for investors to present operating results on a comparable basis period over period to evaluate its underlying performance.
In reporting period‑over‑period results, except for ARR as discussed above in “Key Business Metrics” section, we calculate the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and constant currency information by translating current and prior period results on a transactional basis to our reporting currency using prior period average foreign currency exchange rates in which the transactions occurred.

Our primary source of operating cash is from the sale of our subscriptions, perpetual licenses, and services. Our primary use of cash is payment of our operating costs, which consist mainly of headcount‑related costs. In addition to operating expenses, we also use cash to service our debt obligations, to pay quarterly dividends, to repurchase our Class B common stock and convertible debt, and for capital expenditures in support of our operations. We also use cash to fund our acquisitions of software assets and businesses, and other investment activities.
We believe that cash generated from operations, together with existing cash and cash equivalent balances, and external borrowings including available liquidity under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and international working capital and capital expenditure requirements. We regularly review our capital structure and consider a variety of potential financing alternatives and planning strategies to ensure that we have the proper liquidity available in the locations in which it is needed and to fund our operations and growth investments with cash that has not been permanently reinvested outside the U.S. Our future capital requirements may be materially different than those currently planned in our budgeting and forecasting activities and depend on many factors, including our strategy of regularly acquiring and integrating specialized infrastructure engineering software businesses, our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products, competitive factors, our discretionary payments of dividends or repurchases of our Class B common stock and convertible debt, funding of our purchase commitments, currency fluctuations, and overall economic conditions, globally. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, while the incurrence of additional debt financing, including convertible debt, would result in additional debt service obligations. Such debt instruments also could introduce new or modified covenants that might restrict our operations and/or our ability to pay dividends, consummate acquisitions, or otherwise pursue our business strategies. We cannot provide assurance that we could obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all.

Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, net cash provided by operating activities was lower by $15,579 due to a decrease in net cash flows from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $35,140, partially offset by an increase in net income of $12,026 and a net increase in non‑cash adjustments of $7,535. The decrease in net cash flows from the change in operating assets and liabilities period over period was primarily due to timing of collections on our receivables, overall timing of payments for income taxes, and lower accounts payable. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher period over period accruals and other current liabilities, and Cloud Services Subscription deposits.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was higher by $6,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to higher purchases of property and equipment and investment in capitalized software.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was lower by $32,570 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. Net borrowings under the Credit Facility increased $781,221 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year due to proceeds from our new $550,000 Term Loan and higher net revolving borrowings. During the first quarter of 2026, we utilized revolving borrowings and available cash on hand to repay the $677,830 outstanding principal balance of the 2026 Notes upon maturity in January 2026. Subsequently, during the second quarter of 2026, proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay a portion of those revolving borrowings. Further, payments for shares acquired, including shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program, were higher by $79,938 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, under the Repurchase Program, we paid $9,797 in cash to repurchase $10,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Notes during the first quarter of 2025.

The 2026 Notes matured on January 15, 2026. Upon maturity, we repaid $678,254, which consisted of the remaining outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the 2026 Notes using borrowings under the Credit Facility and available cash on hand. Subsequently, on April 23, 2026, we entered into a First Amendment to our Credit Facility, which provided for a new $550,000 Term Loan and used those borrowings to repay portions of the revolving indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $1,203,944 available under the Credit Facility, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and the 2027 Notes. Any failure to comply with such covenants under the Credit Facility would prevent us from being able to borrow additional funds under the Credit Facility, and, as with any failure to comply with such covenants under the 2027 Notes, could constitute a default that may cause all amounts outstanding to become due and immediately payable in full.
Stock Repurchases
BSY Stock Repurchase Program
Our Board of Directors approved the Repurchase Program authorizing us to repurchase up to $500,000 of our Class B common stock and/or outstanding convertible senior notes through December 31, 2028. We may use available working capital, cash provided by operating activities, and/or external borrowings including available liquidity under our Credit Facility to make repurchases.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 3,747,742 shares for $125,075 under the Repurchase Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 1,173,041 shares for $50,023, and $10,000 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2026 Notes for $9,797 under the Repurchase Program.
The timing, as well as the number and value of shares and/or outstanding convertible senior notes repurchased under the Repurchase Program, will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value of our shares, the market price of our Class B common stock and outstanding convertible senior notes, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with our debt and other agreements, and applicable legal requirements.
Withholding Taxes on Certain Equity Awards
We have the right to require that certain equity awardees receive gross or net quantities of shares of our Class B common stock, including distributions from the DCP and share issuances under the Bonus Plan. In the case of a gross issuance or distribution, an awardee is required to reimburse promptly to us the cash required for his or her tax withholding amounts. Conversely, under a net issuance or distribution, shares are withheld in consideration of remitting withholding taxes on behalf of an equity awardee, thereby requiring us to remit cash for the tax withholdings. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we allowed impacted awardees the option to receive net quantities of shares of our Class B common stock. We exercised our right to require that impacted equity awardees receive gross quantities of our Class B common stock during the first quarter of 2025, but we allowed impacted awardees the option to receive net quantities of shares of our Class B common stock during the second quarter of 2025. We will continue to evaluate whether share awards will be required to be received by awardees on a gross basis, or if net settlement may be elected by awardees.

Dividend Payments
The declaration and payment of dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We paid quarterly dividends of $0.07 per share of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. While we intend to continue paying quarterly dividends, any future determination will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent on a number of factors, including our results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions under Delaware law, and overall financial condition, as well as any other factors our Board of Directors considers relevant. In addition, the terms of the agreement governing the Credit Facility limit the amount of dividends we can pay.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Bentley Systems, Incorporated have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, we implemented our new enterprise-wide administrative and business management platform, which resulted in changes to some of our business processes, accounting systems, and related internal controls. We continue to conduct post‑implementation monitoring and enhancements as needed to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a or 15d of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
