Executive Chair Greg Bentley said, “BSY’s hallmark growth dependability, positively exemplified by the quarters of 2026, underscores the boundless prioritization of investment within the world’s owner-operators of physical infrastructure— and our company’s ingrained zeal for hybrid innovation, led foreseeably by successive multi-faceted integration of AI. These factors underlie my confidence in the durability of superior financial returns for holders of BSY shares, characterized by our sustained momentum in growth of ARR, profitability, and most fundamentally, free cash flow (appropriately burdened by operating stock-based compensation).”

CEO Nicholas Cumins said, “We had another strong quarter, reflecting disciplined execution by our team and continued strength in the end markets we serve. Growth was led once again by the Resources sector, followed by Public Works / Utilities, including from the electric grid.

“We are also making meaningful progress with Infrastructure AI. We are instrumenting more of our engineering applications so that users can combine our trusted, deterministic engines for modeling, analysis, and simulation with the reasoning capabilities of their preferred AI assistants. The feedback from accounts has been encouraging: as they better understand what becomes possible, they are beginning to apply these capabilities on live projects, creating value that we intend to monetize in due course.”

CFO Werner Andre said, “Our second-quarter results reflect consistent high performance across our key financial metrics, positioning us favorably within our full-year financial outlook. We delivered constant-currency ARR growth of 12% and constant-currency subscriptions revenue growth of 13%, with free cash flow having grown 15% on a last-twelve-months basis and profitability in line with our expectations. During the second quarter, we went live with our new enterprise-wide finance and quote-to-cash platforms, the costs of which we absorbed within our margin commitment while laying the foundation for future efficiency and scale.

“Our disciplined approach to capital allocation is evidenced by quarter-end net debt leverage of 1.9 times and ample credit capacity, notwithstanding a meaningful increase in share repurchases during the first half. Together with our reliable cash generation, and in anticipation of our mid-2027 convertible notes maturity, we maintain the flexibility to fund programmatic acquisitions and to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, we sometimes refer to financial measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these measures are considered non‑GAAP financial measures under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Those rules require the supplemental explanations and reconciliations that are in Bentley Systems’ Form 8‑K (Quarterly Earnings Release) furnished to the SEC.

We use AOI less Operating SBC as our primary performance measure because we believe it better reflects our core operating results by excluding items that are not indicative of the ordinary operation of our business, including costs arising directly from our acquisition activity and the costs of discrete realignment initiatives. Consistent with that objective, we refined the measure during 2026: beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we expanded our acquisition expenses adjustment to include cash- and equity‑settled retention incentives provided to key employees of acquired companies, and renamed the measure from Adjusted operating income less stock-based compensation expense (“AOI less SBC”) to “AOI less Operating SBC”; and beginning in the second quarter of 2026, applying the same principle, we began adjusting for integration costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations. We continue to adjust for discrete realignment initiatives, and we do not adjust for severance or organizational and workforce changes undertaken in the ordinary course of managing our business, which remain reflected in AOI less Operating SBC. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current definition; no integration costs were incurred in periods prior to the second quarter of 2026.
