Key Performance Indicators
The company’s Annual Recurring Revenue 2 (ARR), which includes subscription amounts related to both SaaS and on-premise contracts, rose to $407 million at the end of the quarter, or 17% growth as-reported and 17% in constant currency 1 .
| $USD millions | Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | Change |
| Annual recurring revenue 2 | 407 | 347 | 17% |
| (2) Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the total annualized value of recurring subscription amounts (ultimately recognized as SaaS, Subscription term licenses and Maintenance and support revenue) of all subscription contracts at a point in time. Annualized subscription amounts are determined solely by reference to the underlying contracts, normalizing for the varying revenue recognition treatments under IFRS 15 for cloud-based versus on-premise subscription amounts. It excludes one-time fees, such as for non-recurring professional services, and assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, unless such renewal is known to be unlikely. We believe that this measure provides a more current indication of our performance in the growth of our subscription business than other metrics. | |||
