Revenue and, as a result, operating margin and earnings per share are impacted under ASC 606.
Q1’26 cash flow included $10 million of outflows related to the Kepware and ThingWorx transaction, which are not expected to recur in future years.
In Q1’26, revenue grew 19% year over year on a constant currency basis.
Q1’26 GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS included a non-cash tax benefit of $7.1 million or $0.06, due to the receipt of IRS consent to an accounting methodology change requested in FY’24.
Q1’25 GAAP EPS included a non-cash tax benefit of $5.4 million, or $0.04, due to the release of a tax reserve related to prior years.
“For a second consecutive quarter, we significantly stepped up the contracting of strategic customer deals. We will start to see our improved demand capture flow into ARR later this year, and are on track with our strategy to drive durable and predictable multi-year growth,” said Jen DiRico, CFO.
“We executed well on key initiatives in Q1’26: our go to market team continued to build momentum; the divestiture of Kepware and ThingWorx progressed; and we meaningfully reduced our share count, with $200 million of share repurchases under our $2 billion share repurchase authorization,” DiRico concluded.

Guidance for cash flow, revenue, and EPS reflects our business as currently constituted and does not take into account the effect of the Kepware and ThingWorx divestiture, except for costs already incurred in Q1’26 and expected in Q2’26. We still expect approximately $160 million of divestiture-related expense payments and cash taxes in FY’26 in connection with the closing of the transaction, which are not expected to recur in future years. We will update our FY’26 guidance in conjunction with the closing of the transaction.
Cash flow guidance includes $10 million of outflows related to the Kepware and ThingWorx transaction already paid in Q1’26 and an additional approximately $5 million of outflows expected in Q2’26, which are not expected to recur in future years.
GAAP EPS guidance includes $11 million of expenses related to the Kepware and ThingWorx transaction already recognized in Q1’26 and an additional approximately $10 million of expenses expected in Q2’26, which are not expected to recur in future years.
Includes approximately $20 million of capital expenditures which are not expected to recur in future years, related to moving a major R&D center to a new office.

FY’26 financial guidance includes the following assumptions:
The guidance assumptions below reflect our business as currently constituted and do not take into account the effect of the Kepware and ThingWorx divestiture, except for costs already incurred in Q1’26 and expected in Q2’26. We still expect approximately $160 million of divestiture-related expense payments and cash taxes in FY’26 in connection with the closing of the transaction, which are not expected to recur in future years. We will update our FY’26 guidance in conjunction with the closing of the transaction.
We provide ARR guidance on a constant currency basis, using our FY’26 Plan foreign exchange rates (rates as of September 30, 2025) for all periods.
We expect churn to remain low.
For cash flow, due to largely similar invoicing seasonality and timing of expenses, and consistent with the past 5 years, we expect the majority of our collections to occur in the first half of our fiscal year and for fiscal Q4 to be our lowest cash flow generation quarter.
Compared to FY’25, given our FY’26 ARR guidance range, FY’26 GAAP operating expenses are expected to increase approximately 5%, primarily due to investments to drive future growth and factoring in Kepware and ThingWorx divestiture-related expenses of $11 million in Q1’26 and an additional approximately $10 million in Q2’26. FY’26 non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to increase approximately 4%, primarily due to investments to drive future growth.
Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $30 million, with approximately $20 million of capital expenditures in FY’26 that are not expected to recur in future years, related to moving a major R&D center to a new office.
Cash interest payments are expected to be approximately $50 million to $70 million.
Cash tax payments are expected to be approximately $130 million to $150 million.
GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be approximately 20% to 25%.
GAAP P&L results are expected to include the items below, totaling approximately $331 million to $361 million, as well as their related tax effects:
approximately $230 million to $260 million related to stock-based compensation, approximately $80 million related to amortization of acquired intangible assets, approximately $20 million related to acquisition and transaction-related charges, of which $11 million was already recognized in Q1’26 and approximately $10 million is expected in Q2’26, and approximately $1 million related to non-operating charges.
In Q2’26, we intend to repurchase approximately $250 million of common stock and expect a decrease in fully diluted shares to approximately 119 million shares, compared to 121 million shares in Q2’25.
In the second half of FY’26, we intend to repurchase between $150 million and $250 million of common stock per quarter. In addition, we continue to expect net after-tax proceeds of approximately $365 million from the Kepware and ThingWorx transaction, which we expect to use for incremental shares repurchases in FY’26. In total, we expect to repurchase approximately $1.115 billion to $1.315 billion of our shares in FY’26.

Important Information About Our Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to our financial results. We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and we believe that they assist our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operating performance because they provide a view of our operating results without items that are not, in our view, indicative of our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP results as the items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures often have a material impact on our operating results, certain of those items are recurring, and others often recur. Management uses, and investors should consider, our non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with our GAAP results.
Non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the effect of the following items: stock-based compensation; amortization of acquired intangible assets; acquisition and transaction-related charges included in general and administrative expenses; impairment and other charges (credits), net; non-operating charges and credits shown in the reconciliation provided; and income tax adjustments. Additional information about the items we exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we exclude them can be found in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Free Cash Flow: We provide information on free cash flow to enable investors to assess our ability to generate cash without incurring additional external financings and to evaluate our performance against our announced long-term goals and intent to return excess cash to shareholders via stock repurchases. Free cash flow is cash provided by (used in) operations net of capital expenditures. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures.
Constant Currency (CC): We present CC information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. To present CC information, FY’26 and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars using the foreign exchange rate as of September 30, 2025, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during that period.
Operating Measure
ARR: ARR (Annual Run Rate) represents the annualized value of our portfolio of active subscription software, SaaS, hosting, and support contracts as of the end of the reporting period. We calculate ARR as follows:
We consider a contract to be active when the product or service contractual term commences (the “start date”) until the right to use the product or service ends (the “expiration date”). Even if the contract with the customer is executed before the start date, the contract will not count toward ARR until the customer right to receive the benefit of the products or services has commenced.
For contracts that include annual values that change over time, we include in ARR only the annualized value of components of the contract that are considered active as of the date of the ARR calculation. We do not include any future committed increases in the contract value as of the date of the ARR calculation.
As ARR includes only contracts that are active at the end of the reporting period, ARR does not reflect assumptions or estimates regarding future contract renewals or non-renewals.
Active contracts are annualized by dividing the total active contract value by the contract duration in days (expiration date minus start date), then multiplying that by 365 days (or 366 days for leap years).
We believe ARR is a valuable operating measure to assess the health of a subscription business because it is aligned with the amount that we invoice the customer on an annual basis. We generally invoice customers annually for the current year of the contract. A customer with a one-year contract will typically be invoiced for the total value of the contract at the beginning of the contractual term, while a customer with a multi-year contract will be invoiced for each annual period at the beginning of each year of the contract.
ARR increases by the annualized value of active contracts that commence in a reporting period and decreases by the annualized value of contracts that expire in the reporting period.
As ARR is not annualized recurring revenue, it is not calculated based on recognized or unearned revenue and is not affected by variability in the timing of revenue under ASC 606, particularly for on-premises license subscriptions where a substantial portion of the total value of the contract is recognized as revenue at a point in time upon the later of when the software is made available, or the subscription term commences.
ARR should be viewed independently of recognized and unearned revenue and is not intended to be combined with, or to replace, either of those items. Investors should consider our ARR operating measure only in conjunction with our GAAP financial results.
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements notice
Statements in this document that are not historic facts, including statements about our future operating, financial and growth expectations, potential stock repurchases, the expected timing of closing the sale of the Kepware and ThingWorx businesses (the “divestiture”), and expected drivers of customer adoption of our solutions, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include: the macroeconomic and/or global manufacturing climates may not improve or may deteriorate due to, among other factors, the effects of import tariffs, threats of additional and reciprocal import tariffs, global trade and geopolitical tensions and uncertainty, volatile foreign exchange rates, high interest rates or increases in interest rates, inflation, and tightening of credit standards and availability, any of which could cause customers to delay or reduce purchases of new software, adopt competing software solutions, reduce the number of subscriptions they carry, or delay payments to us, which would adversely affect our ARR (Annual Run Rate) and/or financial results and cash flow and growth; our investments in our software solutions, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into our software solutions, may not drive expansion of those solutions and/or generate the ARR and/or cash flow we expect if customers are slower to adopt those solutions than we expect or if they adopt competing solutions; customers may not build the product data foundations essential for the AI-driven transformation of their business when or as we expect, which could adversely affect our ARR and/or financial results and cash flow and growth; our go-to-market realignment and related initiatives may not generate the ARR and/or financial results or cash flow when or as we expect; the divestiture may not be consummated when or as we expect if, among other factors, regulatory approvals under applicable laws and regulations are not received when or as we expect, or if other closing conditions are not satisfied when or as we expect or are waived; the divestiture may disrupt our business to a greater extent than we expect; other uses of cash or our credit facility limits could limit or preclude the return of excess cash and the net proceeds of the divestiture to shareholders by way of share repurchases, or could change the amount and timing of any share repurchases; and foreign exchange rates may differ materially from those we expect. In addition, our assumptions concerning our future GAAP and non-GAAP effective income tax rates are based on estimates and other factors that could change, including changes to tax laws in the U.S. and other countries and the geographic mix of our revenue, expenses, and profits. Other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected are described from time to time in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
