EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Annual Report on Form 10‑K is for the year ended December 31, 2025. This Annual Report on Form 10‑K 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 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. In addition, information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.
Unless indicated otherwise, throughout this Annual Report on Form 10‑K, we refer to Bentley Systems, Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries, as “Bentley Systems,” “Bentley,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our.”
This Annual Report on Form 10‑K 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 Annual Report on Form 10‑K includes forward‑looking statements. All statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K 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 Annual Report on Form 10‑K 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 Annual Report on Form 10‑K 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 Annual Report on Form 10‑K in greater detail in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K. 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 Annual Report on Form 10‑K to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

PART I
Item 1. Business
Our Business
Bentley Systems is the infrastructure engineering software company.
Our purpose is to advance the world’s infrastructure for better quality of life. Our mission is to reshape how infrastructure systems and critical resources are delivered and optimized.
We were founded in 1984 by the Bentley brothers and on September 25, 2020, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”).
Our enduring commitment is to develop and support the most comprehensive portfolio of integrated software offerings across disciplines, sectors, geographies, and the infrastructure lifecycle, enabling digital workflows that improve project delivery and asset performance.
Our users design, build, and operate infrastructure assets for the following sectors:
• Public Works/Utilities , which represents approximately 59% of our sector-attributable annualized recurring revenues (“ARR”) (1)(2) , includes roads, rail, bridges, tunnels, airports, and ports; federal, state, and municipal agencies; and networks for electricity, gas, water, wastewater, and communications;
• Resources , which represents approximately 27% of our sector-attributable ARR (1)(2) , includes mining, oil and gas upstream activities, offshore, pipelines, environmental management, and renewable energy;
• Industrial , which represents approximately 9% of our sector-attributable ARR (1)(2) , includes process and discrete manufacturing, oil and gas downstream activities, and power generation; and
• Commercial/Facilities , which represents approximately 5% of our sector-attributable ARR (1)(2) , includes campuses, office buildings, retail facilities, and hospitals.
Our Products and Offerings
We serve enterprises and professionals across the infrastructure lifecycle, from the design and construction of new projects to the operation and maintenance of existing assets. For projects, our software encompasses conception, planning, surveying, design, engineering, and construction, as well as the collaboration required to coordinate and share the work of interdisciplinary and/or distributed project teams. For assets, our software spans the operating life of commissioned infrastructure assets, allowing our accounts to manage engineering changes for safety and compliance and to model performance and reliability to support operations and maintenance decisions.
Bentley Open Applications and Seequent applications are primarily cloud-connected desktop modeling and simulation applications that support the breadth of engineering and geoprofessional disciplines.
Bentley Infrastructure Cloud , provided via cloud and hybrid environments, extends enterprise collaboration during project delivery and helps manage engineering information during operations and maintenance.

(1) Refer to the section titled “Key Business Metrics” included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information, including our definition and our use of ARR.
(2) Sector-attributable ARR refers to the proportion of our ARR which can be attributed either based on the sector-specific classification of the account and/or the sector-specific classification of the product giving rise to the ARR. The portions of our ARR which cannot be sector-attributed consist generally of ARR within accounts that are diversified engineering firms which work in multiple sectors, and as to that portion of their ARR which are for products that are not sector-specific, such as MicroStation , and structural or geotechnical modeling and simulation applications, and ProjectWise , which are used across any and all sectors.

Bentley Asset Analytics automatically detect and analyze issues to trigger key operational workflows, improving overall asset performance.
Powering these products is our Cesium and iTwin Platform , a cloud‑native technology platform to create, curate, and leverage infrastructure digital twins. Through our platform, our products are becoming increasingly data-centric to take advantage of digital twin and artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities.

The proportions of our revenues are referenced in the diagram below.

Our comprehensive portfolio of integrated software offerings comprises:
Bentley Open Applications . We offer an open modeling environment comprising domain‑specific modeling and simulation applications that analyze the functional performance of designs. Our engineering applications work together to improve infrastructure engineering quality and productivity, resulting in better project designs and deliverables.
Bentley Open Applications support a wide variety of file formats – both Bentley and third‑party – and industry standards and design codes, enabling digital workflows across design, simulation, and analysis, and ensuring engineering data is not locked in, but remains open and accessible. We take care to enable compatibility across successive generations of our applications, which enables engineers, throughout their careers, to maintain continuity with their preferred interfaces, formats, and methodologies, while advancing their work at the leading edge of innovation.

Cesium and iTwin Platform. Our Cesium and iTwin Platform for developing infrastructure digital twin applications leveraging our infrastructure schemas, enables users to create and curate cloud‑native digital representations of physical infrastructure assets, incorporating underlying engineering information federated with operational and enterprise data, and then to model, simulate, analyze, synchronize, track, and predict performance over time. Using digital twins, our users can more fully extend digital workflows across the entire infrastructure lifecycle, increasing the value of infrastructure engineers’ work.
The platform was augmented through the acquisition of Cesium in September 2024. Cesium technology is used to develop powerful 3D geospatial applications—helping organizations understand their assets, environments, and operations in a 3D geospatial context. The combination of Cesium and iTwin capabilities enables developers and users to seamlessly align 3D geospatial data with engineering, operational, and enterprise data to create digital twins with astonishing user experiences that scale from vast infrastructure networks to the millimeter-accurate details of individual assets.
Through our platform, we are adding digital twin capabilities to our existing products and developing a new generation of data-centric and AI-powered offerings. The platform also supports a thriving ecosystem of third‑party developers who use our open standards-based and open source tools and open application programming interfaces (APIs) to develop applications for the built and natural environment. With tens of thousands of developers, Cesium is the de-facto developer platform for 3D geospatial applications. The combination of Cesium and iTwin provides new opportunities for growth and value creation for this developer ecosystem.
Additionally, some capabilities of the platform are offered as discrete iTwin products. These include:
• iTwin Capture , for capturing, modeling, analyzing, and sharing reality data, enabling users to easily create engineering‑ready, high-resolution 3D meshes of infrastructure assets using drone video and survey imagery;

Comprehensiveness of Our Offerings
Our offerings are comprehensive across professional disciplines, infrastructure sectors, geographies, and the infrastructure lifecycle, resulting in what we believe to be durable competitive advantages:
Professional Disciplines . Each infrastructure project requires seamless and deep collaboration among professional disciplines, which can include civil, structural, geotechnical, subsurface, and process engineers; architects; geospatial professionals; city and regional planners; contractors; fabricators; and operations and maintenance engineers. Our open modeling and simulation applications facilitate iterative interactions between disciplines and coordination across project participants. Additionally, we believe our collaboration systems lead the market in managing infrastructure engineering firms’ preferred work-in-progress workflows.
Lifecycle Stages. Both project delivery enterprises and owner‑operators benefit from our software, which enables digital workflows to extend across the infrastructure lifecycle, from design to construction and ultimately asset management. This capability allows our users’ digital engineering models to be leveraged as the context for real-time condition monitoring to achieve better and safer operations and maintenance.
Infrastructure Sectors. Most major engineering and project delivery firms pursue an ever‑changing mix of projects across the public works/utilities, industrial, resources, and commercial/facilities sectors and for flexibility tend to favor an infrastructure engineering software vendor whose portfolio correspondingly spans their full breadth. This comprehensiveness provides diversification for our own business, as an incidental advantage. For example, when there have been cyclical downturns in the primarily privately‑financed industrial, resources, and commercial/facilities sectors, we have historically witnessed offsetting counter‑cyclical government investment in public works/utilities.
Geographies. While design codes may vary by country, infrastructure purposes and engineering practices are fundamentally the same throughout the world, which makes it possible for our infrastructure modeling applications to be used globally. Our offerings are available in most major languages, supporting country‑specific design codes, standards, and conventions. Our development teams are also globally dispersed, due in part to acquisitions made in various countries, but also to provide any needed last-mile localization of our applications. Our global comprehensiveness enables our project delivery accounts to compete more efficiently across geographic markets, thus also providing global supply‑chain sourcing choices for owners.
Digital Twins and AI
Over our company’s history, as computing capabilities have advanced, the scope of infrastructure engineering software has correspondingly increased. However, project and asset software markets have developed independently from one another, resulting in disconnected digital workflows. We believe the advancement from siloed project-specific software, including for computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM), and asset-specific software, including for geographic information systems (GIS), to unified and evergreen infrastructure digital twins will have the effect of merging what have been to date separate market spaces as well as enabling new use cases that were not possible or practical with previous technologies.

Table of C ontents

We believe that the growing adoption of data-centric workflows, via infrastructure digital twins, will serve to overcome the factors that have held back the digital advancement of infrastructure engineering and will facilitate the broader use of engineering data in the operation of infrastructure assets. Moreover, we believe that due to the comprehensiveness of our offerings across the infrastructure lifecycle, infrastructure digital twins and newly enabled digital workflows spanning design, construction, and operations will most particularly benefit our users and enhance our competitiveness.
This includes the increasing use of AI, which represents a paradigm shift for infrastructure sectors, which create massive amounts of data during design, construction, and operations. Infrastructure organizations can leverage AI during project delivery to automate repetitive tasks and more, enabling engineers to focus on higher-value activities. They can also apply AI during operations to analyze data for insights into asset conditions.
We believe that helping infrastructure organizations deploy AI across the lifecycle represents a significant opportunity for Bentley. With Bentley Infrastructure Cloud , organizations can unlock access to their data, freeing it from closed formats and aligning it to open schemas, to enable AI across projects. Bentley Infrastructure Cloud also helps organizations maintain a digital thread from design through construction and operations, enabling AI-based performance recommendations.
We are also embedding AI capabilities across our comprehensive portfolio of integrated software offerings. For example, Bentley Copilot is a context-aware AI assistant that guides users through workflows, surfaces relevant information, and can make changes to design models; our next-generation applications such as Bentley OpenSite+ include native AI capabilities, e.g., for drawings production; and Bentley Asset Analytics products include AI agents that automatically identify maintenance issues and recommend preventive action.
Our Commercial Offerings
Licensing and Subscriptions
We offer a variety of licensing and subscription options so that users can choose what works best for them, their project, and their organization.
For larger organizations with centralized management of their engineering software portfolio, we offer our Enterprise 365 (“E365”) subscription. Our E365 subscription is an all‑inclusive global consumption‑based plan which provides access to our comprehensive portfolio of integrated software offerings with uniform pricing across all countries. E365 subscriptions require a Cloud Services Subscription (“CSS”) (described below) and are charged to accounts primarily based upon daily usage or elective subscriptions, dependent on product. They are also inclusive of “Enterprise Services” (described below). Our Bentley Infrastructure Cloud offerings utilized under E365 are charged based on the total number of users within a calendar quarter, or fixed asset bands, respectively. While the majority of our E365 subscriptions revenue is attributed to daily consumption of our applications, E365 subscriptions typically contain floors or ceilings on usage charges.
A perpetual license for Bentley software is a one‑time purchase with an annual maintenance subscription, called SELECT, which includes 24/7 technical support, access to learning resources, and the ability to exchange licenses for other software once a year. In addition, SELECT offers license pooling, which enables software access from multiple computers, and term licenses, which enables users to access software beyond their license entitlements for monthly or quarterly periods to cover short‑term surges in their workload.
We also offer a 12‑month named-user subscription including license, training, and knowledgeable engineering support procured through our e‑store, Virtuosity, which is a convenient and cost‑effective way for infrastructure professionals in small‑ and medium‑sized businesses (“SMBs”) to access Bentley software.
We deliver our Bentley Infrastructure Cloud capabilities under our CSS, charged quarterly based on the number of users of various levels of functionality. Pricing includes cloud provisioning, although some accounts elect on‑premises and/or hybrid hosting.

Table of C ontents

CSS streamlines the procurement, administration, and payment process for us and our accounts for cloud offerings, term licenses, and recurring services. Participants in our E365 program use CSS as the funding mechanism for their subscription. At the end of 2025, accounts representing approximately 60% of our total ARR (1) had chosen to implement, for licensing of our software, our commercial models eligible under CSS.
Enterprise Services
For our enterprise accounts, services are delivered via proactive and continuous engagement with users and accounts with business outcomes in mind, ensuring that accounts achieve optimal results from our software. This collaborative process culminates in a statement of work that outlines specific, structured engagements called “Blueprints.” These services are offered both virtually and in-person, delivered by colleagues, most with domain experience and credentials in infrastructure engineering. Enterprise services, based on allotted credits, are bundled into our E365 subscription.
We also offer specialized services, including services to support Bentley Infrastructure Cloud implementations and advisory services to aid organizations in adopting digital technologies and workflows.
Our Primary Growth Initiatives
Incremental to our long‑standing programmatic acquisition strategy, we have determinedly invested internal resources to accelerate organic growth, with increasing success, through the following primary growth initiatives:
• Accretion in Enterprise Accounts : We have established that E365 helps our accounts implement, propagate, and upgrade our offerings more quickly, encouraging greater consumption of our software and stronger account relationships. We intend to continue to expand the reach of our E365 subscription within virtually all of our enterprise accounts;
• Accretion in SMBs : New business from SMB accounts, including from hundreds of new “logos” each quarter, has become a substantial contributor to our overall ARR growth (2) , and we are encouraged to continue investment in our Virtuosity business and e‑store. Development and deployment of a “low touch” and ultimately “no touch” digital experience will enable this business to further scale and align with the market potential; and
• Asset Analytics: The third growth initiative involves further expansion into asset operations and maintenance, leveraging digital twin opportunities to be incrementally monetized through cloud subscriptions charged per asset. Our Bentley Asset Analytics portfolio leverages digital twin and AI capabilities to generate discrete and actionable insights of existing infrastructure assets.

Our Accounts
We provide our software to nearly 42,000 accounts in 189 countries worldwide. Our revenues are balanced and diversified between engineering and construction contracting firms who work together to deliver the design and construction of capital projects (representing 52%, 51%, and 50% of our 2025, 2024, and 2023 total revenues, respectively), and their clients, the world’s public and private infrastructure asset owners and operators (representing 48%, 49%, and 50% of our 2025, 2024, and 2023 total revenues, respectively).
We bring our offerings to market primarily through direct sales channels, including through our account managers and our Virtuosity inside sales colleagues and e‑store, which generated approximately 94% of our 2025 total revenues. We also rely on specialist channel partners in geographic regions where we do not currently have a meaningful presence or where, for some of our offerings, direct sales efforts are less economically feasible. Channel partners accounted for approximately 6% of our 2025 total revenues.

We do not have material account concentration. No account, including any group of accounts under common control or accounts that are affiliates of each other, represented more than 2% of our total revenues in 2025, 2024, or 2023.
Our Acquisitions
Since our founding, we have purposefully pursued a strategy of acquiring and integrating specialized infrastructure engineering software businesses, including 8 acquisitions over the past three years. Most acquired products had already been interfacing with our platform prior to acquisition, and our acquisition purpose is typically to improve their technical and commercial integration.
As a public company, we have been able to make platform acquisitions which appreciably increase our scale and/or the scope of our platform capabilities. Our platform acquisitions have been:
• Seequent Holdings Limited (2021), to enable infrastructure digital twin capabilities to incorporate modeling and simulation of full subsurface depths, and advancing infrastructure resilience and sustainability by helping geoprofessionals to understand environmental conditions and to mitigate environmental risks; and
• PLS (2022), to bring design, analysis, and management of overhead electric power transmission lines and structures to our grid digital twin offerings. PLS substantially completes the reach of our comprehensive portfolio for the lifecycle integration of grid infrastructure across electrical transmission, substation, and distribution assets, and communications towers.
Our programmatic acquisitions, which most often “fill white space” within our ecosystem, add their value principally by enhancing our platform comprehensiveness, and accordingly we consider this programmatic aspect of our growth as characteristically within our mainstream business performance (unlike platform acquisitions). Our average historical ARR growth rate (1) from programmatic acquisitions over the past three years has been less than 1% measured on a constant currency basis.

Our Competition
The market for our software is highly competitive and subject to change. We compete against large, global, publicly‑traded companies that have resources greater than our own, and against small, new, or geographically‑focused firms that specialize in developing niche software offerings. While we do not believe that any competitor offers a portfolio as comprehensive as ours, we do face strong competition, varying by infrastructure lifecycle phase and sector:
• our key competitors in Public Works/Utilities applications include Autodesk, Inc., Trimble Inc., and Hexagon AB;
• our key competitors in Resources applications include Hexagon AB and the AVEVA unit of Schneider Electric, as well as Dassault Systèmes, Datamine, Maptek, RMS, and Micromine in mining;
• our key competitors in Industrial applications include Hexagon AB and the AVEVA unit of Schneider Electric;
• our key competitors in Commercial/Facilities applications include Autodesk, Inc., Nemetschek SE, and Trimble Inc.;
• our key competitors in project delivery systems include Autodesk, Inc. and Oracle Corporation; and
• our key competitors in asset performance systems include the AVEVA unit of Schneider Electric, Esri, and GE Vernova.

Table of C ontents

The principal competitive factors affecting our market include:
• product features, performance, and effectiveness;
• reliability and security;
• openness and the ability to integrate with other technologies;
• price, commercial model, and total cost of use; and
• brand awareness and reputation.
We believe we compete favorably against our competitors based on the factors above and that we distinguish ourselves through the comprehensiveness of our software offerings portfolio, our commitment to both integration and interoperability across the entire infrastructure lifecycle, our flexible commercial models, and our direct sales channels.

Our Research and Development
We make substantial investments in research and development because we believe the infrastructure engineering software market presents compelling opportunities for the application of new technologies that advance our current offerings. Our research and development roadmap balances technological advances and new offerings with continuous enhancements to existing offerings. Our allocation of research and development resources is guided by management‑established priorities, input from product managers, and feedback from various channels including users and user-facing teams.
As part of our resource allocation process, we also conduct a cost‑benefit analysis of acquiring available technology in the marketplace versus developing our own software.
Our Intellectual Property
We believe that the success of our business depends more on the quality of our proprietary software, technology, processes, and domain expertise than on copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. While we consider our intellectual property rights to be valuable, we do not believe that our competitive position depends primarily on obtaining legal protection for our software and technology. Instead, we believe that our competitive position depends primarily on our ability to maintain a leadership position by developing innovative proprietary software, technology, information, processes, and know‑how. Nevertheless, we rely on a combination of copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets in the U.S. and other jurisdictions to secure our intellectual property, and we use contractual provisions and non‑disclosure agreements to protect it. In addition, from time to time we enter into collaboration arrangements and in‑bound licensing agreements with third parties, including certain of our competitors, in order to expand the functionality and interoperability of our software. We are not substantially dependent upon any one of these arrangements, and we are not obligated to pay any material royalty or license fees with respect to them.
Our patents cover systems and methods relating to various aspects of software for infrastructure design and modeling, collaboration and work‑sharing, and infrastructure asset operations. Among other things, our patents address a broad range of issues in infrastructure domains from analyzing building energy usage and structural analysis, railway system maintenance, water network design and operation, and augmented reality, as well as techniques for creating, storing, displaying, and processing infrastructure models.
To innovate and increase our strategic position, our software developers are incentivized to alert our internal patent committee to innovations that might be patentable or of strategic value. We also assess appropriate occasions for seeking patent and other intellectual property protections for aspects of our technology and offerings that we believe constitute innovations providing significant competitive advantages, both domestically and outside of the U.S.
13

Table of C ontents

Despite the foregoing, our intellectual property rights may not be successfully asserted in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged by third parties. Moreover, the laws and enforcement of the laws of various foreign countries where our products are licensed do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as U.S. laws. Enforcement of intellectual property rights against alleged infringers could lead to costly litigation and counterclaims, and our inability or perceived inability to protect our proprietary information could harm our business. While we have recovered some revenue resulting from the unauthorized use of our software, we are unable to measure the full extent to which unauthorized use of our software products exists.
Our Production and Suppliers
Our principal supplier of cloud services is Microsoft, with whom we have entered into a multi-year contract for a committed level of expenditures for Azure. We added Google Cloud as a cloud service provider in 2024 to expand our delivery capabilities and optimize costs.

To learn more, visit the impact portion of our website at www.bentley.com/company/impact/. The information posted on this website is not incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Human Capital Management
Our colleagues are a key success factor in driving our continued growth. We create an enriching colleague experience, underscored by our mission, actions, and priorities (MAP) in which colleagues can do the best work of their career while making a positive impact by advancing the world’s infrastructure.
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 5,800 full‑time colleagues globally, including approximately 2,400 in the Americas (the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, including the Caribbean); approximately 1,600 in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”); and approximately 1,800 in Asia‑Pacific (“APAC”). None of our full‑time U.S. colleagues are unionized. Outside the U.S., a small overall portion of our colleagues in certain countries are represented by a colleague representative organization, such as a union or colleague association. Our colleagues bring nearly 70 languages to fulfill the needs of our globally dispersed accounts and users. Our colleagues are highly qualified with an average of seven years of total service and advanced academic credentials, including over 160 doctoral degrees and over 1,400 master’s‑level degrees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following is a discussion of the material factors that make an investment in the Company and its securities speculative or risky. The risks described herein are not the only risks we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Demand for our software is subject to volatility in our accounts’ underlying businesses, which includes infrastructure projects that typically have long timelines.
Our sales are based significantly on accounts’ demand for software in the following infrastructure sectors: (i) public works/utilities; (ii) resources; (iii) industrial; and (iv) commercial/facilities. Although these sectors are typically countercyclical to one another in nature, each periodically experiences economic declines and may be exacerbated by other economic factors. If participants in any of these sectors reduce spending or allocate future funding in a manner that results in fewer infrastructure improvement or expansion projects, then our accounts’ underlying business may be impacted and demand for our software may decrease or our rate of contract renewals may decrease. A prolonged decrease in such spending may harm our results of operations. Our accounts may request discounts or extended payment terms on new arrangements or seek to extend payment terms on existing arrangements due to lower levels of infrastructure spending or for other reasons, all of which may reduce revenue. We may not be able to adjust our operating expenses to offset such discounts or other arrangements because a substantial portion of our operating expenses is related to personnel, facilities, and marketing programs. The level of personnel and related expenses may not be able to be adjusted quickly and is based, in significant part, on our expectations for future revenues and demand.
Infrastructure projects typically have long timelines and we may invest in building capacity based on expected demand for our software that takes longer to develop than we expect or fails to develop at all. Additionally, government spending on infrastructure may decrease, which could decrease the demand for our software and have a negative impact on our results of operations. We may not be successful in forecasting future demand levels and could fail to win business at the expected rates. If we underestimate the demand for our software, we may be unable to fulfill the increased demand in a timely fashion or at all. If we overestimate the demand for our software, we may incur additional expenses for which we would not have corresponding revenues, negatively impacting our results of operations.
The majority of our revenues and an increasing percentage of our operations are attributable to operations outside the U.S., and our results of operations therefore may be materially affected by the legal, regulatory, social, political, economic, and other risks of foreign operations.
Approximately 59%, 58%, and 58% of our total revenues were from outside the U.S. for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We anticipate that revenues from accounts outside the U.S. will continue to comprise a majority of our total revenues for the foreseeable future.
Our international revenues, including from emerging economies, are subject to general economic and political conditions in foreign markets and our revenues are impacted by the relative geographical and country mix of our revenues over time. These factors could adversely impact our international revenues and, consequently, our business. Our dependency on international revenues also makes us more exposed to global economic and political trends, which can negatively impact our financial results. Further, our operations outside the U.S. are subject to legal, regulatory, social, political, economic, and other risks inherent in international business operations, including, without limitation, local product preference and product requirements, trade protection measures, sanctions, quotas, embargoes, import and export licensing requirements, duties, tariffs or surcharges and more stringent regulations relating to privacy and data security and access to, or use of, commercial and personal information.
16

Table of C ontents

The occurrence of any one of these risks could negatively affect our international business and, consequently, our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, operating in international markets requires significant management attention and financial resources. We cannot be certain that the investment and additional resources required to operate in other countries will produce desired levels of revenue or profitability.
Decreased investment by APAC, including China, may have a negative effect on our business.
Approximately 18% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 relate to infrastructure projects in APAC, including China. We cannot assure you that spending in these countries on infrastructure projects will continue at historical levels or increase in the future, or that demand for our software in APAC in general will not be negatively affected by reductions in spending or other limitations.
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could negatively impact our financial results and cash flows.
We sell our software in 189 countries, primarily through a direct sales force located throughout the world. Approximately 59%, 58%, and 58% of our total revenues were from outside the U.S. for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As we continue to expand our presence in international regions, the portion of our revenues, expenses, cash, accounts receivable, and payment obligations denominated in foreign currencies continues to increase. Further, we anticipate that revenues from accounts outside of the U.S. will continue to comprise the majority of our total revenues for the foreseeable future.
Because of our international activities, we have revenues, expenses, cash, accounts receivable and payment obligations denominated in foreign currencies. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, 33%, 34%, and 35%, respectively, of our total revenues were denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, we are subject to currency exchange risk. Our revenues and results of operations are adversely affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to other currencies and are positively affected when the U.S. dollar weakens. As a result, changes in currency exchange rates will affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In the event that there are economic declines in countries in which we conduct transactions, the resulting changes in currency exchange rates may affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We are most impacted by movements in and among the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Chinese yuan renminbi, and New Zealand dollar. For example, the Chinese yuan renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably, due to changes in foreign exchange for a wide variety of reasons, including actions instituted by China. Because of changes in trade between the U.S. and China, and renminbi internationalization, China may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system, and we cannot assure you that the renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future.
In addition, countries in which we operate may be classified as highly inflationary economies, requiring special accounting and financial reporting treatment for such operations, or such countries’ currencies may be devalued, or both, which may harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We cannot predict the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and we may not be successful in minimizing the risks of these fluctuations. In addition, the fluctuation and volatility of currencies, even when it increases our revenues or decreases our expenses, impacts our ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings.
We may not be able to increase the number of new subscription‑based accounts or cause existing accounts to renew their subscriptions, which could have a negative impact on our future revenues and results of operations.
We may not be able to increase demand for our subscription‑based services in line with our growth strategy. Our accounts are not obligated to renew their subscriptions for our offerings, and they may elect not to renew. We cannot assure renewal rates or the mix of subscriptions renewals. Account renewal rates may decline or fluctuate due to a number of factors, including offering pricing, competitive offerings, account satisfaction, and reductions in account spending levels or account activity due to economic downturns or financial markets uncertainty. If our
17

Table of C ontents

accounts do not renew their subscriptions or if they renew on less favorable terms, our revenues may decline, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Consolidation among our accounts and other enterprises in the markets in which we operate may result in a loss of business.
It is likely that some of our existing accounts will consolidate, be acquired, or experience a change in management, which could lead to a decrease in the size of our account base. We expect consolidation among our accounts as they attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions. If two or more of our accounts consolidate, they may also wish to consolidate the software and services that we provide to them. If an existing account is acquired by another company that uses the software of one of our competitors, we may lose business in that account to our competitor. In addition, if an account experiences a change in management, the new management team may be accustomed to the software of one of our competitors, and we could lose that account. Any such consolidation, acquisition, or management change could lead to pricing pressure, erosion of our margins, loss of accounts, and loss of market share, all of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have in the past and expect to continue in the future to seek to grow our business through acquisitions of or investments in new or complementary businesses, software, or technologies, and the failure to manage acquisitions or investments, or the failure to integrate them with our existing platform and business, could harm us.
Since our founding, we have strategically acquired and integrated numerous software assets and businesses. We may, however, be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future or, if suitable candidates are identified, we may be unable to complete the business combination on commercially acceptable terms. The process of exploring and pursuing acquisition opportunities may result in devotion of significant management and financial resources.
Even if we are able to consummate acquisitions that we believe will be successful, these transactions present many risks including, among others, failing to achieve anticipated synergies and revenue increases, difficulty incorporating and integrating the acquired technologies or software solutions with our offerings and existing applications, difficulties managing an acquired company’s technologies or lines of business or entering new markets where we have limited prior experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions, the loss of key colleagues, accounts, and channel partners of ours or of the acquired company, and the requirement to test and assimilate the internal control processes of the acquired business in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Quality problems, defects, errors, failures, or vulnerabilities in our software or services could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Our offerings are, in some cases, highly complex and incorporate advanced software technologies that we attempt to make interoperable with the products of other software providers. Despite testing prior to release, our software may contain undetected defects or errors. Further, the combined use of our software with those of other software providers may cause errors or failures, or it may expose undetected defects, errors, or failures in our software. These defects, errors, or failures could affect software performance and damage the businesses of our accounts, as well as delay the development or release of new software or new versions of software. Further, we cannot guarantee that all of our accounts are using the latest versions of our software with enhanced security features and may be more vulnerable to cyber‑attacks. Allegations of unsatisfactory performance in any of these situations could damage our reputation in the market and our relationships with our accounts, cause us to lose revenue or market share, increase our service costs, cause us to incur substantial costs in analyzing, correcting, or redesigning the software, cause us to lose accounts, subject us to liability for damages, and divert our resources from other tasks, any one of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We may also be required to provide full replacements or refunds for such defective software. We cannot assure you that such remediation would not harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
18

Table of C ontents

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be harmed if we are unable to cross‑sell our software offerings.
A significant component of our growth strategy is to increase the cross‑selling of our software offerings to current and future accounts, however, we may not be successful in doing so if our accounts find our additional offerings to be unnecessary or unattractive. We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, significant resources in developing and acquiring additional software offerings, which resources may not be recovered if we are unable to successfully cross‑sell these offerings to accounts using our existing software. Any failure to sell additional software offerings to current and future accounts could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
There are significant costs and restrictions associated with the repatriation of cash from our non-U.S. operations.
Our cash and cash equivalents balances are concentrated in a few locations around the world, with approximately 68% and 96% of those balances held outside of the U.S. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash repatriation restrictions may limit our ability to repatriate cash held by our foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the repatriation of cash held by our foreign subsidiaries may result in adverse tax consequences. Any repatriation of cash may be restricted or may result in our incurring substantial costs. As a result, we may be required to seek sources of cash to fund our operations, including through the issuance of equity securities, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders, or by incurring additional indebtedness. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure sources of financing on terms favorable to us, or at all.
From time to time we realign or introduce new business initiatives, including reorganizing our sales and marketing, research and development, and administrative functions; if we fail to successfully execute and manage these initiatives, our results of operations could be negatively impacted.
We rely heavily on our direct sales force. From time to time, we reorganize and make adjustments to our sales leadership and/or our sales force in response to such factors as management changes, performance issues, market opportunities, and other considerations. These changes may result in a temporary lack of sales production and may adversely impact revenues in future quarters. Market acceptance of any new business or sales initiative is dependent on our ability to match our accounts’ needs at the right time and price. There can be no assurance that we will not restructure our sales force in future periods or that the transition issues associated with such a restructuring will not occur. Similarly, reorganization of our research and development and administrative functions can disrupt our operations and negatively impact our results of operations if the execution is not managed properly. If any of our assumptions about expenses, revenues, or revenue recognition principles from these initiatives proves incorrect, or our attempts to improve efficiency are not successful, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, and our financial results could be negatively impacted.
A portion of our revenues are from sales by our channel partners and we could be subject to loss or liability based on their actions.
Sales through our global network of independent regional channel partners accounted for 6%, 7%, and 8% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These channel partners sell our software in geographic regions where we do not have a meaningful presence, and in niche markets where they have specialized industry and technical knowledge. Where we rely on channel partners, we may have reduced contact with ultimate users that purchase through such channel partners, thereby making it more difficult to establish brand awareness, ensure proper installation, service ongoing requirements, estimate demand, and respond to the evolving needs of an account. Any of our channel partners may choose to terminate its relationship with us at any time. As a result, our ability to service the ultimate users who were interfacing with that channel partner may take time to develop as we divert resources to service those users directly or find a suitable alternative channel partner to continue the relationship. Any disruption in service may damage our reputation and business. In addition, our channel partners may be unable to meet their payment obligations to us, which would have a negative impact on our financial results. Our channel partners may also not have loyalty to our brand and therefore may not be particularly motivated to sell our software or services.
19

Table of C ontents

The use of channel partners could also subject us to lawsuits, potential liability, and reputational harm if, for example, any channel partners misrepresent the functionality of our software or services to accounts, fail to comply with their contractual obligations, or violate laws or our corporate policies. Such actions may impact our ability to distribute our software into certain regions and markets, and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
We incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning (collectively “AI” herein this item) into our software offerings, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, or liability, and adversely affect our operations.
We believe AI represents a paradigm shift for infrastructure sectors. We are building and embedding AI capabilities across our comprehensive portfolio of integrated software offerings to support and accelerate the use of AI by our users and accounts. We expect data-centric and AI-powered offerings to help drive future growth in our business but there can be no assurance that we will realize the anticipated growth or benefits. As with many innovations, there may be slow adoption, regulatory challenges, or we may fail to appropriately implement and market our data-centric and AI-powered offerings.
AI is becoming an increasingly regulated space with a number of jurisdictions having proposed or enacted laws concerning AI. Against this regulatory backdrop, our offerings based on AI may expose us to additional lawsuits and regulatory investigations and subject us to legal liability as well as brand and reputational harm. Further, research and development associated with our AI offerings may be impacted by the increasingly complex regulatory landscape by increasing the burdens and costs associated with research and development.
Risks Related to Information Technology (“IT”) Systems and Intellectual Property
Interruptions in the availability of server systems or communications with Internet, third‑party hosting facilities or cloud‑based services, or failure to maintain the security, confidentiality, accessibility, or integrity of data stored on such systems, could harm our business or impair the delivery of our managed services.
A significant portion of our software development personnel, source code, and computer equipment is located at operating facilities outside the U.S. We also depend on data maintained on servers running third‑party enterprise-wide administrative, account relationship management, and other business operations systems. We further rely upon a variety of Internet service providers, third‑party hosting facilities, and cloud computing platform providers, such as Microsoft Azure, as well as local service providers to support project teams and users in most regions and countries throughout the world, particularly with respect to our cloud service offerings. Failure to maintain the security, confidentiality, accessibility, or integrity of data stored on such systems could damage our reputation in the market and our relationships with our accounts, cause us to lose revenue or market share, increase our service costs, cause us to incur substantial costs, cause us to lose accounts, subject us to liability for damages, and divert our resources from other tasks, any one of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Any damage to, or failure of, such systems, or communications to and between such systems, could result in interruptions in our operations, managed services, and software development activities. Such interruptions may reduce our revenue, delay billing, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause accounts to terminate their subscriptions, or adversely affect our attrition rates and our ability to attract new accounts. Our business would also be harmed if our accounts and potential accounts believe our products or services are unreliable.
If our security measures or those of our third‑party cloud data hosts, cloud computing platform providers, or third‑party service partners, are breached, and unauthorized access is obtained to an account’s data, our data or our IT systems, our services may be perceived as not being secure, accounts may curtail or stop using our services, and we may incur significant legal and financial exposure and liabilities.
As we digitize and use cloud and web‑based technologies to leverage account data to deliver a more complete account experience, we are exposed to increased security risks and the potential for unauthorized access to, or improper use of, our and our accounts’ information. Certain of our services involve the storage and transmission of accounts’ proprietary information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information,
20

Table of C ontents

litigation, and possible liability. Although we devote resources to maintaining our security and integrity, we may not prevent security incidents.
The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber‑attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. These threats include but are not limited to identity theft, unauthorized access, domain name system attacks, wireless network attacks, viruses and worms, advanced persistent threat, application centric attacks, peer-to-peer attacks, phishing, backdoor trojans, and distributed denial of service attacks. Any of the foregoing could attack our accounts’ data (including their employees’ personal data), our data (including colleagues’ personal data), our IT systems or those of our accounts and/or critical vendors. It is virtually impossible for us to entirely eliminate this risk. Like all software, our software is vulnerable to cyber‑attacks. The impact of cyber‑attacks could disrupt the proper functioning of our software or services, cause errors in the output of our accounts’ work, allow unauthorized access to sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information of ours or our accounts, and other destructive outcomes.
Additionally, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce colleagues or accounts into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords, or other information in order to gain access to our accounts’ data, our data, or our IT systems. Malicious third parties may also conduct attacks designed to temporarily deny accounts access to our services. Any security breach could result in a loss of confidence in the security of our products and services, damage our reputation, negatively impact our future sales, disrupt our business, and lead to regulatory inquiry and legal liability.
Failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.
Our future success and competitive position depend in large part on our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technologies. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to secure and protect our intellectual property rights, all of which provide only limited protection and may not currently or in the future provide us with a competitive advantage. Patents or trademarks may not issue from any of our pending or future patent or trademark applications. Patents or trademarks that do issue from such applications may not give us the protection that we seek, and such patents or trademarks may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented. Any patents or trademarks that may issue in the future from our pending or future patent and trademark applications may not provide sufficiently broad protection and may not be enforceable in actions against alleged infringers.
The steps we take may not be adequate to protect our technologies and intellectual property, our patent and trademark applications may not lead to issued patents or registered trademarks, others may develop or patent similar or superior technologies or offerings, and our patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property may be challenged, invalidated, designed around, or circumvented by others. Furthermore, effective copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our offerings are available or where we do business.
Increasingly regulatory focus on privacy, data protection, cross-border data flows, and information security issues, and new and expanding laws may apply to our business and non‑compliance with such rules may limit the use and adoption of our services, adversely affect our business, or expose us to increased liability.
As a global software and service provider, we collect and process personal data and other data from our users and prospective users. We use this information to provide software offerings to our accounts, to validate user identity, to fulfill contractual duties and administer billing and support, to expand and improve our business, and to communicate and recommend products and services through our marketing and advertising efforts. We may also share accounts’ personal data with certain third parties as described in the privacy statement provided to each account. We may also share accounts’ personal data with certain third parties as described in the privacy statement provided to each account. Further, we collect and otherwise process personal data of our global employees and contractors.
21

Table of C ontents

Governments, regulators, privacy advocates, plaintiffs’ attorneys, and our users and accounts are increasingly focused on how companies collect, process, use, store, share, and transmit personal data. Regulation relating to the provision of our software is evolving, as federal, state, and foreign governments continue to adopt new, or modify existing, laws and regulations addressing privacy, data protection, data sovereignty, information security and the collection, processing, storage, sharing, transmission, and use of data generally. This evolving regulatory landscape may be subject to differing interpretations, jurisdiction specific inconsistencies, or may conflict with other rules. We expect the regulatory landscape to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Further, our expectation is that there will continue to be new laws, regulations, and industry standards applicable to our collection, processing, storage, sharing, transmission, and use of data generally.
Globally, laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) in the European Union (the “E.U.”) and the Personal Information Protection Law (the “PIPL”) in China have been enacted, and numerous other countries have proposed or have enacted laws concerning privacy, data protection, data sovereignty, and information security; these laws impose obligations directly on us as both a data controller and a data processor, as well as on many of our users. In addition, new and emerging state laws in the U.S. governing privacy, data protection, and information security, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and numerous laws in other states, many of which provide for obligations similar to the CCPA and CPRA, have been enacted. These laws and regulations, as well as industry self-regulatory codes, create new compliance obligations and substantially expand the scope of potential liability and provide greater penalties for non-compliance. For example, the GDPR provides for penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of a company’s annual global revenue, whichever is greater, the PIPL provides for penalties of up to 50 million renminbi or 5% of a company's annual revenue and disgorgement of all illegal gains, whichever is greater, and the CCPA provides for penalties of up to $7,988 per violation.
Although, we monitor the regulatory environment and have invested in addressing these developments, operating in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape may impact our innovation and business drivers in developing new and emerging technologies (e.g., AI). Globally, these and other requirements are causing increased scrutiny amongst users, particularly in the public sector and highly regulated industries, which could restrict the use and adoption of our software (in particular cloud services). Further, these developments may require us to take on more onerous obligations in our contracts, restrict our ability to store, transfer, and process data or, in some cases, impact our ability or our users’ ability to offer our services in certain locations, to deploy our offerings, or to derive insights from user data globally.
Around the world, there is continued uncertainty in relation to the legal mechanisms supporting cross‑border data flows which are subject to evolving guidance, active litigation, and enforcement proceedings in a number of jurisdictions. A number of countries including China, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Japan have established specific requirements for cross‑border data transfers. Further, a number of countries and states have adopted or are considering adopting data localization policies which would further restrict cross‑border data transfers and may require data to be localized in the country of origin (potentially at a state level) which could substantially impact our operations.
Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to protect data, could result in enforcement action against us, including fines and public censure, claims for damages by users, accounts, and other affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss of goodwill (both in relation to existing accounts and prospective accounts), any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Around the world, there are numerous lawsuits in process against various technology companies that process personal data. If those lawsuits are successful, it could increase the likelihood that we may be exposed to liability for our own policies and practices concerning the processing of personal data and could hurt our business.
Our accounts expect us to meet voluntary certification or other standards established by third parties or imposed by the accounts themselves. If we are unable to maintain these certifications or meet these standards, it could adversely affect our ability to provide our software to certain accounts and could harm our business. Further, if we were to experience a breach of systems compromising our accounts’ sensitive data, our brand and reputation could
22

Table of C ontents

be adversely affected, use of our software and services could decrease, and we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation, and regulatory proceedings.
The costs of compliance with and other burdens imposed by laws, regulations, and standards may limit the use and adoption of our services and reduce overall demand for them, or lead to significant fines, penalties, or liabilities for any noncompliance.
Furthermore, concerns regarding privacy, data protection, cross-border data flows, and information security may cause our accounts’ customers to resist providing the data necessary to allow our accounts to use our services effectively. Even the perception that the privacy of data is not satisfactorily protected or does not meet regulatory requirements could inhibit sales of our software or services, and could limit adoption of our cloud‑based offerings.
We license third‑party technologies for the development of certain software offerings, and, in some instances, we incorporate third‑party technologies, including open source software, into our software. If we fail to maintain these licenses or are unable to secure alternative licenses on reasonable terms, our business could be adversely affected.
We license third-party technologies to develop certain software offerings, and, in some cases, we incorporate third‑party technologies into our own software, including technologies owned by our competitors. If we were to seek to expand the scope of this activity in the future, we could be required to obtain additional licenses and enter into long‑term arrangements with third parties on whose technology we could become substantially dependent.
If we are unable to use or license these third‑party technologies on reasonable terms, including commercially justifiable royalty rates, or if these technologies fail to operate properly or be appropriately supported, maintained, or enhanced, we may not be able to secure alternatives in a timely manner and our ability to develop and commercialize our own software offerings could be adversely impacted. In addition, licensed technology may be subject to claims that it infringes others’ intellectual property rights and we may lose access to or have restrictions placed on our use of the licensed technology. We also incorporate open source software into our products. While we have attempted not to use open source code in a manner which could adversely impact our proprietary code, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market or sell our products or to develop new products.
Assertions by third parties of infringement or other violations by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies in our industry. Although claims of this kind have not materially affected our business to date, there can be no assurance such claims will not arise in the future. Any claims or proceedings against us, regardless of whether meritorious, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Related to Regulation and Litigation
Recent and potential tariffs imposed by the U.S. government or a global trade war could increase the cost of our products and services and the cost of conducting our business, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Recent and potential tariffs imposed by the U.S. government or a global trade war could increase the cost of our products and services and the cost of conducting our business, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The U.S. government has threatened substantial changes to trade agreements and has raised the possibility of imposing significant increases on tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., particularly from China. The imposition of additional tariffs by the U.S. could result in the adoption of tariffs by other countries, leading to a global trade war. In addition, certain of these risks may be heightened as a result of changing political
23

Table of C ontents

climates. For example, the U.S. and China have been levying tariffs on their respective imports. Such tariffs could have a significant impact on our business and the business of our accounts. While we may attempt to renegotiate prices with suppliers or diversify our supply chain in response to tariffs, such efforts may not yield immediate results or may be ineffective. We might also consider increasing prices to the end consumer; however, this could reduce the competitiveness of our products and services, and adversely affect revenue. If we fail to manage these dynamics successfully, our gross margins and profitability could be adversely affected.
We are subject to legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, and we may be named in additional legal proceedings or become involved in regulatory inquiries in the future, any of which may be costly, distracting to our core business and could result in an unfavorable outcome, or harm on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or the trading price for our securities.
We are subject to various investigations, claims, and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including commercial disputes, labor and employment matters, tax audits, alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, and other matters. As the global economy has changed, our industry has seen an increase in litigation activity and regulatory inquiries. Like many other high technology companies, on a regular and ongoing basis, we receive inquiries from U.S. and foreign regulatory agencies regarding our business and our business practices, and the business practices of others in our industry. In the event that we are involved in significant disputes or are the subject of a formal action by a regulatory agency, we could be exposed to costly and time consuming legal proceedings that could result in any number of outcomes. Any claims or regulatory actions initiated by or against us, whether successful or not, could result in expensive costs of defense, costly damage awards, injunctive relief, increased costs of business, fines or orders to change certain business practices, significant dedication of management time, diversion of significant operational resources, or otherwise harm our business. In any of these cases, our financial results could be negatively impacted.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar anti‑bribery and anti‑corruption laws associated with our activities outside the U.S. could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
The majority of our revenues are from jurisdictions outside of the U.S. We are subject to the FCPA, which generally prohibits U.S. companies and their intermediaries from making payments to foreign officials for the purpose of directing, obtaining, or keeping business, and requires companies to maintain reasonable books and records and a system of internal accounting controls. The FCPA applies to companies and individuals alike, including company directors, officers, employees, and agents. Under the FCPA, U.S. companies may be held liable for corrupt actions taken by employees, strategic or local partners, or other representatives. In addition, the government may seek to rely on a theory of successor liability and hold us responsible for FCPA violations committed by companies or associated with assets that we acquire.
We are subject to governmental sanctions compliance, and export and import controls that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we violate the controls.
Our offerings may be subject to U.S. export controls and economic sanctions laws and regulations that restrict the delivery of our software and services to certain locations, governments, and persons. While we have processes in place to prevent our offerings from being exported in violation of these laws, including obtaining authorizations as appropriate and screening against U.S. government lists of restricted and prohibited persons, we cannot guarantee that these processes will prevent all violations of export control and sanctions laws. We may also decide to acquire companies whose past activities could give rise to potential liability under export control and sanctions laws. Such acquisitions may require substantial time and resources to integrate the acquired company into our compliance processes, to correct potential compliance gaps, and to remediate past potential violations by the acquired company, including through our own internal actions, voluntary self‑disclosures, or other measures.
Further, if our channel partners fail to obtain appropriate import, export, or re‑export licenses or permits, we may also be adversely affected, for example, through reputational harm, as well as other negative consequences including government investigations and penalties. Complying with export control and sanctions regulations for a particular sale may be time‑consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities.
24

Table of C ontents

Violations of U.S. sanctions or export control laws can result in fines, penalties, denial of export and trading privileges, and seizure of goods and assets. Other consequences include negative publicity and harm to business reputation, increased government scrutiny (including intrusive audits, and increased difficulty obtaining government licenses and approvals), and/or remedial compliance measures as a condition of settling government charges.
We may face exposure to product or professional liability claims that could cause us to be liable for damages.
The use of our software, including AI-enabled offerings, could lead to the filing of product liability claims against us were someone to allege that our software provided inaccurate or incomplete information at any stage of the infrastructure lifecycle or otherwise failed to perform according to specifications. In the event that accounts or third parties sustain property damage, injury, death, or other loss in connection with their use of our software or infrastructure for which our software and services were used to engineer, we, along with others, may be sued, and whether or not we are ultimately determined to be liable, we may incur significant legal expenses, management’s attention could be diverted from operations, and market acceptance of our software could decrease. Our risk of exposure to litigation in these situations could rise as our software and services are used for increasingly complex and high‑profile infrastructure projects. Litigation could also impair our ability to obtain professional liability or product liability insurance or increase the cost of such insurance. These claims may be brought by individuals seeking relief on their own behalf or purporting to represent a class. In addition, product liability claims may be asserted against us in the future based on events we are not aware of at the present time.
The limitations of our liability included in our contracts with accounts may not be enforceable or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. Additionally, we may be subject to claims that are not explicitly covered by contract, such as a claim directly by a third party. There is no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover incurred liabilities or that we will be able to obtain acceptable product and professional liability coverage in the future.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
Our credit agreement, as amended, contains restrictive covenants that may limit our operating flexibility, and certain changes in ownership of equity interests in us by the Bentley Family (Barry J. Bentley, Gregory S. Bentley, Keith A. Bentley, Raymond B. Bentley, and Richard P. Bentley, collectively (the “Bentleys”), certain other family members and trusts and other entities controlled by or primarily for the benefit of the Bentleys and their families) constitutes an event of default.
Our second amended and restated credit agreement, entered into on October 18, 2024 with a syndicate of banks (the “Credit Facility”), contains certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness other than amounts under the Credit Facility and specified baskets, incur additional liens, merge or consolidate with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, enter into new lines of business, pay dividends to our stockholders, repurchase our common stock and outstanding indebtedness, make investments in and acquire other businesses, and transfer or dispose of assets. In certain circumstances, the agreement governing the Credit Facility may also limit our ability to transfer cash among our subsidiaries and between us and our subsidiaries, including our foreign subsidiaries. It also contains certain financial covenants, including a covenant requiring us not to permit the net senior secured leverage ratio to exceed 3.00 to 1.00 and a covenant requiring the fixed charge coverage ratio for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to not be less than 3.00 to 1.00, and financial reporting requirements. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our U.S. assets and 65% of the stock of our and certain of our subsidiaries’ foreign subsidiaries.
Further, if the Bentley Family ceases to collectively own equity interests in us representing at least 20% of the aggregate voting power of the Company, then such change in ownership will be an event of default under the agreement governing the Credit Facility and, among other things, the commitments under the Credit Facility may be terminated immediately and the outstanding loans and accrued interest may become due and payable immediately.
25

Table of C ontents

In addition, there is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flows or revenues to meet these financial covenants or pay the principal and interest on any debt. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that future working capital, borrowings, or equity financing will be available to repay or refinance any debt. Any inability to make scheduled payments or meet the financial covenants in the agreement governing the Credit Facility would adversely affect our business.
We may incur substantial additional debt, which could exacerbate the risks described above.
We may incur additional debt in the future. Although the agreement governing the Credit Facility contains restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, those restrictions are subject to a number of exceptions which permit us and our subsidiaries to incur substantial debt. Adding new debt to current debt levels could intensify the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face. Refer to the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.
Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flows from our business to pay our substantial debt.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flows from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flows, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, any future indebtedness we may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital, or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.
Risks Related to Our Class B Common Stock
We issued convertible notes that have rights senior to our Class B common stock.
In June 2021, we issued $575 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), which will mature on July 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by us or converted by the holder pursuant to their terms. The 2027 Notes rank senior in right of payment to our Class B common stock and any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes; equal in right of payment to any of our liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, or other winding up, our assets that secure debt ranking senior or equal in right of payment to the 2027 Notes will be available to pay obligations on the 2027 Notes only after the secured debt has been repaid in full from these assets, and our assets will be available to pay common stockholders only after all debt obligations have been repaid. There may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the 2027 Notes then outstanding or any or all shares of our Class B common stock then outstanding.
The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the 2027 Notes, could have a material effect on our reported financial condition and results of operations.
The accounting method for reflecting the 2027 Notes on our consolidated balance sheets and reflecting the underlying shares of our Class B common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition.

Table of C ontents

Under the if‑converted method, diluted earnings per share will be calculated assuming that all the 2027 Notes are converted solely into shares of Class B common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti‑dilutive. The application of the if‑converted method will reduce our reported diluted earnings per share.
Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the 2027 Notes is satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the 2027 Notes as a current, rather than long‑term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders convert their notes and could materially reduce our reported working capital.
The conditional conversion feature of the 2027 Notes may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2027 Notes is triggered, holders of the 2027 Notes will be entitled to convert the 2027 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 2027 Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class B common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their 2027 Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 2027 Notes as a current, rather than long‑term, liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
Conversion of the 2027 Notes will dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders, including holders who had previously converted their 2027 Notes, or may otherwise depress the price of our Class B common stock.
The conversion of some or all of the 2027 Notes will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders to the extent we deliver shares upon conversion of any of the 2027 Notes. Any sales in the public market of the Class B common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class B common stock. In addition, the existence of the 2027 Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the 2027 Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the 2027 Notes into shares of our Class B common stock could depress the price of our Class B common stock. As of December 31, 2025, without giving effect to any potential adjustments to the conversion rate set forth in the indenture or any limits on conversion, and assuming our Class B common stock is trading at or above $83.23 per share for the 2027 Notes, 6,908,567 shares of our Class B common stock would be issuable upon a full conversion of the 2027 Notes.
The capped call transactions entered into when we issued the 2027 Notes may affect the value of our common stock.
In connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, we entered into capped call transactions with the respective option counterparties. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 2027 Notes, and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2027 Notes with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our Class B common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the 2027 Notes. The option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding derivatives with respect to our Class B common stock and/or purchasing or selling our Class B common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the 2027 Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the 2027 Notes). This activity could cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our Class B common stock.

The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with the Bentley Control Group (the Bentleys and certain of their family members, trusts or other permitted transferees, as well as all other holders of our Class A common stock in respect of such shares of Class A common stock, who collectively are acting as a group).
Our Class A common stock has 29 votes per share, and our Class B common stock, which is the class of common stock that is issuable upon conversion of the 2027 Notes, and is the only class that is publicly traded and listed, has one vote per share. The beneficial owners of our Class A common stock together hold approximately 53.5% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2025. Moreover, as a result of the 29 to one voting ratio between our Class A and Class B common stock, the Bentley Control Group controls and will continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock and therefore is able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, subject to the occurrence of certain events that would reduce the voting power of our Class A common stock or cause the conversion thereof. This concentrated control will limit or preclude stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our business, even if such a transaction would benefit other stockholders. The Bentley Control Group may also have interests that differ from those of other stockholders and may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree and which may be adverse to such other stockholders’ interests.
In addition, we are a “controlled company” for the purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rules, which provides us with exemptions from certain of the corporate governance standards imposed by the rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market. These provisions further allow the Bentley Control Group to exercise significant control over our corporate decisions and limit the ability of the public stockholders to influence our decision making.
The choice of forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or colleagues.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a claim of a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, or any action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce, or determine the validity of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, and any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, the choice of forum provision provides that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, claims brought under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act must be brought exclusively in the federal district court for the District of Delaware. Despite the choice of forum provision, investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and rules and regulations thereunder. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other colleagues, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other colleagues. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

General Risk Factors
Global economic and political conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our operations and performance depend significantly on foreign and domestic economic and political conditions. Uncertainty regarding economic and political conditions may negatively impact us as accounts defer spending or postpone infrastructure projects in response to tighter credit, higher unemployment, higher interest rates, higher inflation, increases on tariffs, financial market volatility, government austerity programs, negative financial news, declining valuations of investments, and other factors. In addition, certain of our accounts’ budgets may be constrained and they may be unable to procure our offerings at the same level as in prior periods. Our accounts’ ability to pay for our software and services may also be impaired, which may lead to an increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts and write‑offs of accounts receivable. Since we are exposed to the majority of major world markets, uncertainty in any significant market may negatively impact our performance and results, particularly with respect to our largest geographic accounts. Our accounts include government entities, including the U.S. government, and if spending cuts impede the ability of governments to purchase our products and services, our revenues could decline. In addition, a number of our accounts rely, directly and indirectly, on government spending. We are unable to predict economic conditions or the likelihood of additional economic uncertainty arising in any of our key markets. Changes in economic conditions could result in us not meeting our revenue growth objectives and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Geopolitical trends toward nationalism and protectionism and the weakening or dissolution of international trade pacts in response to changing trade policies may increase the cost of, or otherwise interfere with, conducting our business including supply chain disruptions, and reduced competitiveness due to the imposition of trade barriers. These trends have increased levels of political and economic unpredictability globally, and may increase the volatility of global financial markets; the impact of such developments on the global economy remains uncertain. Political instability or adverse political developments, including, without limitation, as a result of or in connection with trade relations between the U.S., E.U., and China, as well as terrorist attacks, cyber events, armed conflicts (or the threat or escalation thereof), bank failures, civil unrest, espionage, natural disasters, epidemics, and pandemics in any of the countries in which we do business could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Changes in existing financial accounting standards or practices, or taxation rules or practices may adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes in existing accounting or taxation rules or practices, new accounting pronouncements or taxation rules, or varying interpretations of current accounting pronouncements or taxation practices could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations or the way we conduct our business. Further, such changes could potentially affect our reporting of transactions completed before such changes are effective. Additionally, our effective tax rate is subject to volatility related to the tax effects associated with the accounting for stock‑based compensation including as a result of price changes in our Class B common stock.
If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired, then we could be required to record a significant charge to earnings.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to test for goodwill impairment at least annually. In addition, we assess our goodwill and amortizable intangible assets for impairment if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce its fair value below its carrying value, including declines in stock price, market capitalization, or cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry. Depending on the results of our assessment, we could be required to record a significant impairment charge in our consolidated financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets was determined, negatively impacting our results of operations.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
We maintain a comprehensive process for: (i) identifying the assets, threats, and vulnerabilities that affect our information systems and networks; (ii) analyzing the likelihood and impact of potential cyberattacks on our assets, operations, and objectives; (iii) evaluating the existing cybersecurity controls and measures that we have in place to prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks; and (iv) implementing and monitoring the appropriate cybersecurity solutions and practices that reduce our cyber risk exposure and enhance our cyber resilience .
In doing so, our Information Security Team, which is comprised of dedicated privacy and security professionals and run by our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), stays abreast of security industry and threat trends, and regularly seeks to improve our cybersecurity risk management program. Our executive leadership team, with input and guidance from our CISO, is responsible for our overall enterprise risk management system and processes, and regularly considers cybersecurity risks in the context of other material risks to the Company. Our CISO, who has over 15 years’ experience in cybersecurity and 30 years’ experience in software engineering, design, and development, has been with the Company for more than ten years and has helped grow the Company’s Information Security Team into its current mature form.
As part of our overall cybersecurity strategy, as and when we detect cybersecurity threats, our Information Security Team documents the relevant incident details, assesses the impact and severity of it, identifies the root cause and corrective actions, and communicates the incident to our CISO and any other relevant parties as needed. We also seek to address cybersecurity risks associated with our third-party vendors by making our Information Security Team a key part of relevant vendor onboarding, whereby we conduct comprehensive risk assessments of such vendors’ cybersecurity policies and practices. When necessary, we utilize third party auditors and consultants to assess third-party cybersecurity risks, and we consult with outside counsel as appropriate, including on materiality analysis and disclosure matters . Our senior management makes the final materiality determinations and disclosure and other compliance decisions.
Our full Board of Directors has oversight responsibility for risks and incidents relating to cybersecurity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and discusses with management our policies and practices regarding risk assessment and management, including planning regarding business continuity and cybersecurity. In addition, the Board of Directors receives regular reports from management on cybersecurity matters, including areas such as strategic plans and programs, threat intelligence, major cybersecurity risk areas, regulations, and cybersecurity incidents.
Our management team, including our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”), and Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”), are responsible for assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, including supervision of our internal security incident response team. Each of these leaders have extensive experience assessing and managing cybersecurity programs and risk. Our CIO joined Bentley in 2025 and is responsible for the Company’s internal technology infrastructure, systems, data, and security. Our CIO has over 25 years of experience as a technologist across a wide variety of industries. She brings significant experience leading enterprise technology organizations and developing cybersecurity and data‑protection practices to support large‑scale operational environments. Our CTO joined Bentley in 2021 and is the principal architect of the Company’s technology directions. Our CTO has over 20 years of technology leadership experience in startups, scaleups, and large organizations. His strategic role includes ensuring that our software development and engineering are secure, resilient, and aligned with risk management needs. Our CLO has been with Bentley since 1998 and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the global Law and Corporate Advancement team. Our CLO brings deep expertise in legal and regulatory frameworks, including cybersecurity and data protection, ensuring the organization’s compliance with evolving regulations. He leads a global privacy team focused on best practices in safeguarding sensitive information and proactively manages risks related to cyber threats and privacy concerns.

Results of Operations:
Our results of operations have been, and in the future will be, affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, approximately 33%, 34%, and 35%, respectively, of our total revenues and 45%, 42%, and 45%, respectively, of our total operating expenses were denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar including most significantly: euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Chinese yuan renminbi, and New Zealand dollars. Other than the natural hedge attributable to matching revenues and expenses in the same currencies, we do not currently hedge foreign currency exposure. Additionally, because we have operations in, and derive revenue from, geographies around the world, we will continue to monitor the impact of tariffs and other trade policies on our business and the businesses of our accounts, as well as on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
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.

Revenues
We generate revenues from subscriptions, perpetual licenses, and services. Our total revenues are diversified by account type, size, and geographic region. The majority of our revenue growth, excluding the impact from acquisitions, is driven by additional subscriptions revenues from existing accounts using the same products. To a lesser extent, our revenue growth is attributable to subscriptions revenues from new accounts and subscriptions revenues from existing accounts using new products. We believe that we have a loyal account base, with over 70% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 generated from organizations that have been our accounts for over ten years.
In addition to our results of operations discussed below, the following is supplemental data of our revenues:

Year Ended December 31,
(as a percentage of total revenues) 2025 2024 2023
Revenues from:
Direct sales channels 94 % 93 % 92 %
Indirect channel partners 6 % 7 % 8 %

Revenues from:
Subscriptions 92 % 90 % 88 %
Recurring services 1 % 1 % 1 %
Total recurring revenues 93 % 91 % 89 %
Perpetual licenses and other services 7 % 9 % 11 %

Largest account represents no more than 2 % 2 % 2 %

The volume, mix, and duration of contract types starting or renewing in any given period may have a material impact on revenue in the period, and as a result can impact the comparability of reported revenue period-over-period. Our subscriptions, perpetual licenses, and services offerings are recognized pursuant to applicable GAAP guidance. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information on our revenues. We believe that subscription revenues will continue to comprise a majority of our total revenues.

(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 year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in subscriptions revenues, partially offset by a decrease in services revenues.
Subscriptions . For the year ended December 31, 2025, the increase in subscriptions revenues was driven by improvements in our business performance of $153,334 ($142,592 on a constant currency basis). Our business performance includes the impact from programmatic acquisitions, which generally are immaterial, individually and in the aggregate.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the improvements in business performance were primarily driven by expansion from accounts with revenues in the prior period (“existing accounts”), and growth of 2.5% attributable to new accounts, most notably small- and medium-sized accounts. Improvements in business performance for the year ended December 31, 2025 were led by Bentley Open Applications , followed by Seequent applications, and Bentley Infrastructure Cloud .
Perpetual licenses . For the year ended December 31, 2025, perpetual licenses revenues were flat compared to the prior year.
Services. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the decrease in services revenues was driven by a decline in our business performance of $4,869 ($5,548 on a constant currency basis), primarily due to the winding down of a large services project in the beginning of 2025.

Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2025, our revenues in China were essentially flat. Our perpetual licenses revenues in China increased primarily due to expansion from new accounts, partially offset by a decline from existing accounts. Our subscriptions revenues in China decreased primarily due to a decline from existing accounts, partially offset by an increase from new accounts.
The future results in China remain uncertain as a result of continued geopolitical challenges, the obstacles there to cloud‑deployed software, and the financial timing impact of the preference there for license sales, rather than subscriptions.
