Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2025 and March 4, 2025, respectively (the “2024 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2025, the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which were included in the 2024 Form 10-K. The December 31, 2024 Consolidated Balance Sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for any subsequent quarters or the full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We operate in one operating segment and one reportable segment. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our president and chief operating officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. Our CODM uses consolidated net income as the sole measure of segment profit or loss and to decide how to make resource allocation decisions. Significant segment expenses include cost of software-enabled services revenues, cost of license, maintenance and related revenues, selling and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. For these significant and other segment expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 refer to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The standard required more enhanced disclosures specifically related to effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new requirements were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis. We plan to adopt the standard in our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, and we expect the standard will impact financial statement disclosures only and will not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
