Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Company Overview - Progress Software Corporation ("Progress," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") provides enterprise software products for the development, deployment and management of high-impact applications.
Our products are generally sold as perpetual licenses, but certain products also use term licensing models and our cloud-based offerings use a subscription-based model. More than half of our worldwide license revenue is realized through relationships with indirect channel partners, principally independent software vendors, original equipment manufacturers, distributors and value-added resellers. Independent software vendors develop and market applications using our technology and resell our products in conjunction with sales of their own products that incorporate our technology. Original equipment manufacturers are companies that embed our products into their own software products or devices. Value-added resellers are companies that add features or services to our product, then resell it as an integrated product or complete "turn-key" solution.
We operate in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), and Asia and Australia ("Asia Pacific"), through local subsidiaries as well as independent distributors.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on January 26, 2024 (our "2023 Annual Report").
We made no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our 2023 Annual Report, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and records changes in estimates in the period in which they become known. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition and business combinations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company beginning with the annual period ending November 30, 2026, allowing for adoption on a prospective basis or a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard only impacts disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments in this update expand segment disclosure requirements, including new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment among other disclosure requirements. This update is effective for the Company in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending November 30, 2025, and interim periods beginning after December 1, 2025. The adoption of this standard only impacts disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There were no debt securities by contractual maturity due after one year as of February 29, 2024.
Note 3: Derivative Instruments
Cash Flow Hedge
On July 9, 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap contract with an initial notional amount of $150.0 million to manage the variability of cash flows associated with approximately one-half of our variable rate debt. The contract matures on April 30, 2024 and requires periodic interest rate settlements. Under our interest rate swap contract, we receive a floating rate based on the greater of 1-month SOFR or 0.00%, and pay a fixed rate of 1.855% on the outstanding notional amount.
We have designated the interes t rate swap as a cash flow hedge and assess the hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the derivative. To the extent that the interest rate swap is highly effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivative are included as a component of other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although we determined at the onset of the hedge that the interest rate swap will be a highly effective hedge throughout the term of the contract, any portion of the fair value swap subsequently determined to be ineffective will be recognized in earnings. As of February 29, 2024, the fair value of the hedge was a gain of $0.6 million, which was included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss reclassified to interest expense during the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 was a decrease of $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
The following table presents our interest rate swap contract where the notional amount is equal to approximately one-half of the corresponding reduction in the balance of our term loan. The fair value of the derivative represents the discounted value of the expected future discounted cash flows for the interest rate swap, based on the payment schedule and the current forward curve for the remaining term of the contract, as of the date of each reporting period (in thousands):

| February 29, 2024 |  | November 30, 2023
| Notional Value |  | Fair Value |  | Notional Value |  | Fair Value
Interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges | $ | 98,438 |  |  | $ | 587 |  |  | $ | 103,125 |  |  | $ | 1,495 |

10

Forward Contracts
We generally use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on intercompany accounts receivable and loans receivable denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries.
All forward contracts are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, other accrued liabilities, or other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and generally expire between 30 days and 2 years from the date the contract was entered. At February 29, 2024 $2.8 million was recorded in other accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At November 30, 2023, $2.5 million was recorded in other accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In the three months ended February 29, 2024, realized and unrealized losses of $0.6 million from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency loss, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the three months ended February 28, 2023, realized and unrealized gains of $0.5 million from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency loss, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market-based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates.
Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value
Fair Value of the Convertible Senior Notes
The fair value of our Convertible Senior Notes, with a carrying value of $355.3 million and $354.8 million, was $378.0 million and $377.1 million as of February 29, 2024 and November 30, 2023, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the quoted price in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period and classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities including cash, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or settlement.

Goodwill
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in the three months ended February 29, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Balance, December 1, 2023 | $ | 832,101 |
Additions(1) | 700 |
Translation adjustments | 5 |
Balance, February 29, 2024 | $ | 832,806 |

(1) The additions to goodwill during fiscal year 2024 are related to the acquisition of MarkLogic in February 2023. See Note 6: Business Combinations for additional information.
Note 6: Business Combinations
MarkLogic Acquisition
On February 7, 2023, we completed the acquisition of the parent company of MarkLogic Corporation ("MarkLogic"), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of January 3, 2023. The acquisition was completed for a base purchase price of $355.0 million (subject to certain customary adjustments) in cash.
The acquisition consideration for MarkLogic has been allocated to MarkLogic’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The excess of total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.
During the quarter ended February 29, 2024, the measurement period adjustments were completed, which resulted in a $0.7 million increase in goodwill. The purchase price allocation is now complete.
The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

| Purchase Price Allocation |  | Life
Net working capital | $ | 46,335 |  |  |
Property, plant and equipment | 723 |  |  |
Purchased technology | 67,300 |  |  | 7 years
Trade name | 12,500 |  |  | 7 years
Customer relationships | 152,300 |  |  | 7 years
Other assets, including long-term unbilled receivables | 4,477 |  |  |
Deferred taxes | (24,478) |  |  |
Deferred revenue | (32,418) |  |  |
Goodwill | 161,770 |  |  |
Net assets acquired | $ | 388,509 |  |  |

The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to value the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The valuation assumptions take into consideration our estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections.
Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. We determined the acquisition date deferred revenue balances based on our assessment of the individual contracts acquired. A significant portion of the deferred revenue was recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.
We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $161.8 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.
13

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred.
The amount of revenue of MarkLogic included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended February 29, 2024 was approximately $31.7 million. The amount of revenue of MarkLogic included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended February 28, 2023 was not material. We determined that disclosing the amount of MarkLogic related earnings included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of MarkLogic were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.
Pro Forma Information
The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and MarkLogic as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2021, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the MarkLogic acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include: (i) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense relating to the $232.1 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (ii) an increase in interest expense to record interest for the period presented as a result of drawing down our revolving line of credit in connection with the acquisition, and (iii) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.5%).
The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated expense savings resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2021.

Note 7: Debt
In March of 2024, the Company refinanced its debt by issuing 2030 Convertible Senior Notes (described below) and used the proceeds to pay off the outstanding balance of the term loan and revolving line of credit under our previous credit agreement. We also entered into an amended and restated credit facility. Accordingly, we classified the balance of the term loan on the balance sheet as long-term as of February 29, 2024.
Notes Payable
2030 Convertible Senior Notes
On March 1, 2024, the Company issued, in a private placement, Convertible Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $450 million, due March 1, 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The proceeds from the 2030 Convertible Notes were used in part to enter into the 2024 Capped Call Transactions (described below), working capital, and other general corporate purposes, including paying off the existing term loan and revolving line of credit. There are no required principal payments prior to the maturity of the 2030 Convertible Notes. The 2030 Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears on September 1 and March 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2024. The Company incurred approximately $12.2 million in issuance costs for the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes.
Conversion Rights
Before November 1, 2029, Noteholders may convert their 2030 Convertible Notes in the following circumstances:
•During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on May 31, 2024, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least twenty trading
14

days (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; or
•During the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; or
•Upon the occurrence of distributions on the Company’s common stock, which distribution per share of common stock has a value exceeding 10% of the last reported sale price per share on the trading day immediately before the date such distribution is announced; or
•Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, then the Noteholder of any Note may convert such Note.
From and after November 1, 2029, Noteholders may convert their 2030 Convertible Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes to be converted, by issuing shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate is 14.7622 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes, representing an initial conversion price of approximately $67.74 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including spin-offs, tender offers, exchange offers, make-whole fundamental change and certain stockholder distributions.
Repurchase Rights
On or after March 5, 2027, and on or before the 60th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 2030 Convertible Notes, subject to partial redemption limitation, at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a redemption notice and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. Pursuant to the partial redemption limitation, the Company may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding 2030 Convertible Notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time it sends the related redemption notice.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” (as described below) occur at any time, holders may, subject to certain exceptions, require the Company to purchase their 2030 Convertible Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. A fundamental change relates to events such as business combination transactions involving the Company, shareholder approval of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.
2024 Capped Call Transactions
On February 27, 2024, in connection with the pricing of the 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (“2024 Capped Call Transactions”). The 2024 Capped Call Transactions cover approximately 6.6 million shares (representing the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the Notes) of the Company’s common stock. The 2024 Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of 2030 Convertible Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the 2024 Capped Call Transactions will initially be $92.98 per share of common stock, which represents a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of the common stock of $53.13 per share on February 27, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2024 Capped Call Transactions. The cost of the purchased capped calls of $42.2 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital upon settlement in March 2024.
Credit Facility
On March 7, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders, which provides a $900.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility may be made available in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies and may be increased, and new term loan commitments may be entered into, by up to an additional $260.0 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments. The
15

revolving credit facility has sublimits for swing line loans up to $25.0 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million. We expect to use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes.
Interest rates for the revolving credit facility are determined by reference to a Term Benchmark Rate or a base rate at our option and would range from 1.50% to 3.00% above the Term Benchmark Rate for Term Benchmark-based borrowings or from 0.50% to 2.00% above the defined base rate for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio. Additionally, we may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective Term Benchmark Rates for those currencies, based on our consolidated total net leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required, ranging from 0.150% to 0.400% per annum, based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio.
The credit facility matures on March 7, 2029. The revolving credit facility does not require amortization of principal. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the maturity date, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears.
Costs incurred to obtain our long-term debt of $6.0 million, along with $0.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the previous credit agreement, will be recorded as debt issuance costs and amortized over the term of the debt agreement using the effective interest method. Further, unamortized debt issuance costs related to the repaid term loan will be expensed in accordance with the accounting for a debt extinguishment.
We are the sole borrower under the credit facility and our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets and each of our material domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, change the nature of the business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated interest charge coverage ratio, a consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio and a consolidated total net leverage ratio.
Note 8: Common Stock Repurchases
In January 2023, our Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $150.0 million, to an aggregate authorization of $228.0 million. In the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, we repurchased and retired 0.4 million shares for $22.5 million and 0.3 million shares for $15.0 million, respectively. As of February 29, 2024, there was $171.5 million remaining under the current authorization.
On March 1, 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 0.4 million shares for $25.0 million.
Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using either the current market price of the stock, the Black-Scholes option valuation model, or the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 or 5 years for options and 3 or 4 years for restricted stock units, and adjust the expense each period for actual forfeitures. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units and our employee stock purchase plan using an accelerated attribution.
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, we granted performance-based restricted stock units that include two performance metrics under our Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") where the performance measurement period is three years. Vesting of the LTIP awards on the 2022, 2023 and 2024 plans are based on the following: (i) 75% is based on achievement of a three-year cumulative operating income, and (ii) 25% is based on our level of attainment of specified TSR targets relative to the percentage appreciation of a specified index of companies for the respective three-year periods. The vesting of LTIP awards is also subject to continued employment of the grantees through the performance period, except in the event of a qualifying termination. In order to estimate the fair value of such awards, we used a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model for the market condition portion of the award and used the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, less the present value of expected dividends when applicable, for the portion related to the performance condition.

Deferred Contract Costs
Certain of our sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Depending upon the sales incentive program and the related revenue arrangement, such capitalized costs are amortized over the longer of (i) the product life, which is generally three to five years; or (ii) the term of the related revenue contract. We determined that a three to five year product life represents the period of benefit that we receive from these incremental costs based on both qualitative and quantitative factors, which include customer contracts, industry norms, and product upgrades. Total deferred contract costs were $7.0 million and $7.6 million as of February 29, 2024 and November 30, 2023, respectively, and are included in other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred contract costs is included in sales and marketing expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and was minimal in all periods presented.

We excluded stock awards representing approximately 714,000 and 340,000 shares of common stock from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively, as these awards were anti-dilutive.
The dilutive impact of the Notes on our calculation of diluted earnings per share is considered using the if-converted method. However, because the principal amount of the Notes must be settled in cash, the dilutive impact of applying the if-converted method is limited to the in-the-money portion, if any, of the Notes. During the three months ended February 29, 2024, we did
19

not include the Notes in our diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion feature in the Notes was out of the money.
Note 14: Segment Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.
We operate as one operating segment: software products to develop, deploy, and manage high-impact applications. Our CODM evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis. As we operate as one operating segment, the required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 15: Cyber Related Matters
November 2022 Cyber Incident
Following the detection of irregular activity on certain portions of our corporate network, we engaged outside cybersecurity experts and other incident response professionals to conduct a forensic investigation and assess the extent and scope of the incident. We do not expect to incur additional costs related to this incident as the investigation is closed. We incurred expenses of $2.7 million related this incident during the three months ended February 28, 2023.
MOVEit Vulnerability
As previously reported, on the evening of May 28, 2023, our MOVEit technical support team received an initial customer support call indicating unusual activity within their MOVEit Transfer instance. An investigative team was mobilized and, on May 30, 2023, the investigative team discovered a zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer (including our cloud-hosted version of MOVEit Transfer known as MOVEit Cloud). A "zero-day vulnerability" is a vulnerability that has been publicly disclosed (e.g., by an independent researcher or threat actor) before the software vendor has an opportunity to patch it. The investigative team determined the zero-day vulnerability (the “MOVEit Vulnerability”) could provide for unauthorized escalated privileges and access to the customer’s underlying environment in both MOVEit Transfer (the on-premise version) and MOVEit Cloud (a cloud-hosted version of MOVEit Transfer that we deploy in both (i) a public cloud format, as well as (ii) for a small group of customers, in customer-dedicated cloud instances that are hosted, separate and apart from the public instances of our MOVEit Cloud platform).
We will continue to assess the potential impact of the MOVEit Vulnerability on our business, operations, and financial results. MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Cloud represented less than 4% in aggregate of our revenue for the three months ended February 29, 2024.
Litigation and Governmental Investigations
As of the date of the issuance of the financial statements, (i) we have received formal letters from 35 customers and others that claim to have been impacted by the MOVEit Vulnerability, some of which have indicated that they intend to seek indemnification from us related to the MOVEit Vulnerability, (ii) we have received a letter from an insurer providing for notice of a subrogation claim (where the insurer is seeking recovery for all expenses incurred in connection with the MOVEit Vulnerability), which has resulted in the filing of a lawsuit in the District of Massachusetts, and (iii) we are party to approximately 127 class action lawsuits filed by individuals who claim to have been impacted by the exfiltration of data from the environments of our MOVEit Transfer customers, which the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred to the District of Massachusetts for coordinated and consolidated proceedings.
We have also been cooperating with; (i) several inquiries from domestic and foreign data privacy regulators (as further described hereafter); (ii) several inquiries and two formal investigations from state attorneys general (as further described hereafter); (iii) a formal investigation from a U.S. federal law enforcement agency (as of the date of the filing of this report, the law enforcement investigation that we are cooperating with is not an enforcement action or formal governmental investigation of which we have been told that we are a target); and (iv) a formal investigation from the SEC (as further described hereafter).
On October 2, 2023, Progress received a subpoena from the SEC seeking various documents and information relating to the MOVEit Vulnerability. As described in the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, at this stage, the SEC investigation is a fact-finding inquiry, the investigation does not mean that Progress or anyone else has violated federal securities laws, and the investigation does not mean that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security. Progress is cooperating fully with the SEC in its investigation.
20

On December 21, 2023, Progress received a preservation notice from the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), but has not otherwise received a request for information nor is Progress aware of any formal FTC investigation.
On January 18, 2024, Progress received a subpoena from the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia seeking various documents and information relating to the MOVEit Vulnerability. At this stage, the investigation is a fact-finding inquiry, and the investigation does not mean that Progress or anyone else has violated applicable laws. Progress is cooperating fully with the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia in its investigation.
On February 9, 2024, Progress received a subpoena from the Office of the Attorney General for the State of New Jersey seeking various documents and information relating to the MOVEit Vulnerability. At this stage, the investigation is a fact-finding inquiry, and the investigation does not mean that Progress or anyone else has violated applicable laws. Progress is cooperating fully with the Office of the Attorney General for the State of New Jersey in its investigation.
On November 3, 2023, the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office informed Progress that based upon the information provided, the Commissioner’s Office determined that regulatory action against Progress was not required in relation to the MOVEit Vulnerability. Additionally, on March 14, 2024, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s Office informed Progress that it has closed its file investigating the MOVEit Vulnerability.
Expenses Incurred and Future Costs
For the three months ended February 29, 2024, we incurred $1.0 million of costs related to the MOVEit Vulnerability. The costs recognized are net of received and expected insurance recoveries of approximately $0.8 million. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses. We expect to incur investigation, legal and professional services expenses associated with the MOVEit Vulnerability in future periods. We will recognize these expenses as services are received, net of insurance recoveries. While a loss from these matters is reasonably possible, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses at this time, particularly while the foregoing matters remain ongoing. Furthermore, with respect to the litigation, the proceedings remain in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class if certified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. Also, each of the governmental inquiries and investigations mentioned above could result in adverse judgements, settlements, fines, penalties, or other resolutions, the amount, scope and timing of which could be material, but which we are currently unable to predict. Therefore, we have not recorded a loss contingency liability for the MOVEit Vulnerability as of February 29, 2024.
In addition, we may accelerate or make additional investments in our information technology systems, infrastructure, software products or networks following the MOVEit Vulnerability, however, we currently do not expect such amounts to be material to any fiscal period.
Insurance Coverage
During the period when the November 2022 cyber incident and the MOVEit Vulnerability occurred, we maintained $15.0 million of cybersecurity insurance coverage, which is expected to reduce our exposure to expenses and liabilities arising from these events. As of February 29, 2024, we have recorded approximately $7.0 million in insurance recoveries, of which $2.5 million was related to the November 2022 cyber incident and $4.5 million was related to the May 2023 MOVEit Vulnerability, providing us with $8.0 million of additional cybersecurity insurance coverage (which is subject to a $0.5 million retention per claim). We will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under our insurance policies.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q may contain information that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Whenever we use words such as "believe," "may," "could," "would," "might," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "target," "anticipate" and negatives and derivatives of these or similar expressions, or when we make statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other events that have not yet occurred, we are making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon our present intent, beliefs or expectations, but are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual future results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements due to various factors which are more fully described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Annual Report as well as the risk factors described in Part II, Item 1A of this Report on Form 10-Q. Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what

extent, any of such risks may be realized. We also cannot assure you that we have identified all possible issues that we might face. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that we make.
Overview
Progress provides enterprise software products for the development, deployment and management of high-impact business applications.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, loss contingencies and the MOVEit Vulnerability, and business combinations. For further information regarding the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1: Basis of Presentation to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our 2023 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our 2023 Annual Report.
Use of Constant Currency
Revenue from our international operations has historically represented a substantial portion of our total revenue. As a result, our revenue results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, if the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries strengthen, our consolidated results stated in U.S. dollars are positively impacted.
As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis enhances the understanding of our revenue results and evaluation of our performance in comparison to prior periods. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.

As a percentage of total revenue | 19 | % |  | 22 | % |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Income from operations decreased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 due to an increase in costs of revenue and operating expenses, offset by increased revenue, as shown above.

As a percentage of total revenue | (4) | % |  | (3) | % |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Other expense, net, increased due to increased interest expense on our term loan and our revolving line of credit, which we drew on to fund part of our acquisition of MarkLogic. We expect our annual interest expense to decrease for the remainder of 2024 due to the reduced contractual interest rate on the 2030 convertible notes, which were used to finance the term loan and the borrowings outstanding under the revolver. Interest income and other, net, was higher in fiscal year 2024, resulting from higher interest rates on our invested cash balance. We expect interest income to continue growing during fiscal year 2024. Foreign currency loss increased year over year due to rate volatility and timing of intercompany and hedge settlement activitie s.

Our effective tax rate was 18% and 21% in the first fiscal quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective rate was due to discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and the statute of limitations expiring on uncertain tax positions in the first fiscal quarter of 2024. There were no significant discrete tax items in the first fiscal quarter of 2023.

Select Performance Metrics:
Management evaluates our financial performance using a number of financial and operating metrics. These metrics are periodically reviewed and revised to reflect changes in our business.
27

Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR)
We provide an ARR performance metric to help investors better understand and assess the performance of our business because our mix of revenue generated from recurring sources has increased in recent years and comprises the vast majority of our total revenue. ARR represents the annualized contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of a period. ARR includes maintenance, software upgrade rights, both public cloud instances and on-premises subscription-based transactions and managed services. ARR mitigates fluctuations due to seasonality, contract term and the sales mix of subscriptions for term-based licenses and SaaS. ARR is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. ARR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.
We define ARR as the annualized recurring revenue of term-based contracts from all customers at a point in time. We calculate ARR by taking monthly recurring revenue, or MRR, and multiplying it by 12. MRR for each month is calculated by aggregating, for all customers during that month, monthly revenue from committed contractual amounts, additional usage and monthly subscriptions. The calculation is done at constant currency using the current year budgeted exchange rates for all periods presented.
Our ARR was $571.0 million and $570.0 million as of February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively, remaining constant year-over-year.
Net Retention Rate
We calculate net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period end ("Prior Period ARR"). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end ("Current Period ARR"). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the net retention rate. Net retention rate is not defined in accordance with GAAP.
Our net retention rates have generally ranged between 99% and 102% for all periods presented. Our high net retention rates illustrate our predictable and durable top line performance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents

(In thousands) | February 29, 2024 |  | November 30, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 133,222 |  |  | $ | 126,958 |

The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $6.3 million from the end of fiscal year 2023 was due to cash inflows from operations of $70.5 million, $1.7 million in cash received from the issuance of common stock. These cash inflows were offset by cash outflows of $30.0 million for the repayment of the revolving line of credit, repurchases of common stock of $22.5 million, dividend payments of $8.2 million, payments of debt obligations of $3.4 million, the effect of exchange rates on cash of $1.5 million, and purchases of property and equipment of $0.3 million. Except as described below, there are no limitations on our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents.
As of February 29, 2024, $73.0 million of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Foreign cash includes unremitted foreign earnings, which are invested indefinitely outside of the U.S. As such, the foreign cash is not available to fund our domestic operations. If we were to repatriate these earnings, we may be subject to income tax withholding in certain tax jurisdictions and a portion of the repatriated earnings may be subject to U.S. income tax. However, we do not anticipate that this would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.
28

Share Repurchase Program
In January 2023, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization by $150 million, to an aggregate authorization of $228.0 million. In the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, we repurchased and retired 0.4 million shares for $22.5 million and 0.3 million shares for $15.0 million, respectively. The shares were repurchased in both periods as part of our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase program. As of February 29, 2024, there was $171.5 million remaining under the current authorization.
On March 1, 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 0.4 million shares for $25.0 million.
Dividends
On March 19, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share of common stock, which will be paid on June 17, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 3, 2024. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.

Our gross accounts receivable as of February 29, 2024, decreased by $36.6 million from the end of fiscal year 2023. Our days sales outstanding (DSO) in accounts receivable increased to 50 days from 42 days in the first fiscal quarter of 2023 due to the timing of billings.

During the first three months of fiscal year 2024, we did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of debt, while in the same period in fiscal year 2023 we received $195.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of debt to partially fund the acquisition of MarkLogic. Further, we repurchased $22.5 million of our common stock under our share repurchase plan compared to $15.0 million in the same period of the prior year. We also made payments on our long-term debt of $33.4 million (including a $30.0 million repayment on the revolving line of credit) in the first three months of fiscal year 2024 and $1.7 million in the same period in 2023. Finally, we made dividend payments of $8.2 million to our stockholders during the first three months of fiscal year 2024 and $8.0 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2023.
Liquidity Outlook
Cash from operations in fiscal year 2024 could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of various risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Annual Report which have led to increased disruption and volatility in capital markets and credit markets that could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future. However, based on our current business plan, we believe that existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under our Credit Facility, will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements through at least the next twelve months. We do not contemplate a need for any foreign repatriation of the earnings which are deemed invested indefinitely outside of the U.S. Our foreseeable cash needs include capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt repayments, quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases, lease commitments, restructuring obligations and other long-term obligations.
Legal and Other Regulatory Matters
MOVEit Vulnerability
As previously reported, on the evening of May 28, 2023, our MOVEit technical support team received an initial customer support call indicating unusual activity within their MOVEit Transfer instance. An investigative team was mobilized and, on May 30, 2023, the investigative team discovered a zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer (including our cloud-hosted version of MOVEit Transfer known as MOVEit Cloud). A “zero-day vulnerability” is a vulnerability that has been publicly disclosed (e.g., by an independent researcher or threat actor) before the software vendor has an opportunity to patch it. The investigative team determined the zero-day vulnerability (the “MOVEit Vulnerability”) could provide for unauthorized escalated privileges and access to the customer’s underlying environment in both MOVEit Transfer (the on-premise version) and MOVEit Cloud (a cloud-hosted version of MOVEit Transfer that we deploy in both (i) a public cloud format, as well as (ii) for a small group of customers, in customer-dedicated cloud instances that are hosted, separate and apart from the public instances of our MOVEit Cloud platform). We promptly took down MOVEit Cloud for further investigation and notified all then-known current and former MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Cloud customers in order to apprise them of the MOVEit Vulnerability and alert them to immediate remedial actions. In parallel, our team developed a patch for all supported versions of MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Cloud, which was released on May 31, 2023, and allowed for the restoration of MOVEit Cloud that same day.
We are subject to litigation and governmental investigations related to the MOVEit Vulnerability, for which we have incurred expenses and will incur future costs. We expect our exposure to such expenses and liabilities to be reduced by insurance.
