Progress Software (NASDAQ: PRGS) reported strong financial results for Q2 2025, with significant growth across key metrics. The company achieved revenue of $237 million, up 36% year-over-year, and Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) of $838 million, representing 46% growth. Non-GAAP operating margin improved to 40%, while diluted earnings per share increased to $0.39 (GAAP) and $1.40 (non-GAAP).

The company announced the acquisition of Nuclia, an agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) AI solutions provider, to enhance its Data Platform capabilities. The acquisition, while strategically important, is described as immaterial to Progress' financials.

Based on strong performance, Progress raised its full-year 2025 guidance, now expecting revenue between $962-$974 million, non-GAAP operating margin of 38-39%, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $5.28-$5.40. The company also reported significant progress in debt reduction, paying down $40 million of its revolving credit facility in Q2.

Progress Software (NASDAQ: PRGS) ha riportato risultati finanziari solidi per il secondo trimestre del 2025, con una crescita significativa in tutti i principali indicatori. L'azienda ha raggiunto un fatturato di 237 milioni di dollari, in aumento del 36% rispetto all'anno precedente, e un Ricavo Ricorrente Annualizzato (ARR) di 838 milioni di dollari, con una crescita del 46%. Il margine operativo non-GAAP è migliorato al 40%, mentre l'utile diluito per azione è salito a 0,39 dollari (GAAP) e 1,40 dollari (non-GAAP).

La società ha annunciato l'acquisizione di Nuclia, un fornitore di soluzioni AI agentiche basate su Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), per potenziare le capacità della sua piattaforma dati. L'acquisizione, pur essendo strategicamente rilevante, è considerata non sostanziale per i risultati finanziari di Progress.

Grazie alle ottime performance, Progress ha rivisto al rialzo le previsioni per l'intero anno 2025, prevedendo ora un fatturato compreso tra 962 e 974 milioni di dollari, un margine operativo non-GAAP tra il 38% e il 39% e un utile diluito per azione non-GAAP tra 5,28 e 5,40 dollari. L'azienda ha inoltre segnalato importanti progressi nella riduzione del debito, estinguendo 40 milioni di dollari della sua linea di credito revolving nel secondo trimestre.

Progress Software (NASDAQ: PRGS) reportó sólidos resultados financieros en el segundo trimestre de 2025, con un crecimiento significativo en métricas clave. La compañía alcanzó ingresos de 237 millones de dólares, un aumento del 36% interanual, y un Ingreso Recurrente Anualizado (ARR) de 838 millones de dólares, lo que representa un crecimiento del 46%. El margen operativo ajustado mejoró al 40%, mientras que las ganancias diluidas por acción aumentaron a 0,39 dólares (GAAP) y 1,40 dólares (no GAAP).

La empresa anunció la adquisición de Nuclia, un proveedor de soluciones de IA basadas en Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) con agentes, para mejorar las capacidades de su plataforma de datos. La adquisición, aunque estratégicamente importante, se describe como irrelevante para las finanzas de Progress.

Basándose en el sólido desempeño, Progress elevó sus previsiones para todo el año 2025, esperando ahora ingresos entre 962 y 974 millones de dólares, un margen operativo no GAAP del 38-39% y ganancias diluidas por acción no GAAP de 5,28 a 5,40 dólares. La compañía también informó un progreso significativo en la reducción de deuda, pagando 40 millones de dólares de su línea de crédito revolvente en el segundo trimestre.

Progress Software (NASDAQ : PRGS) a publié de solides résultats financiers pour le deuxième trimestre 2025, avec une croissance significative sur les principaux indicateurs. La société a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 237 millions de dollars, en hausse de 36 % sur un an, et un chiffre d'affaires récurrent annualisé (ARR) de 838 millions de dollars, ce qui représente une croissance de 46 %. La marge opérationnelle non-GAAP s'est améliorée à 40 %, tandis que le bénéfice dilué par action a augmenté à 0,39 $ (GAAP) et 1,40 $ (non-GAAP).

L'entreprise a annoncé l'acquisition de Nuclia, un fournisseur de solutions d'IA Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agentique, afin de renforcer les capacités de sa plateforme de données. Cette acquisition, bien que stratégiquement importante, est considérée comme non significative pour les résultats financiers de Progress.

Grâce à ces solides performances, Progress a relevé ses prévisions pour l'année 2025, s'attendant désormais à un chiffre d'affaires compris entre 962 et 974 millions de dollars, une marge opérationnelle non-GAAP de 38 à 39 % et un bénéfice dilué par action non-GAAP compris entre 5,28 et 5,40 $. La société a également annoncé des progrès significatifs dans la réduction de sa dette, ayant remboursé 40 millions de dollars de sa ligne de crédit renouvelable au deuxième trimestre.

Progress Software (NASDAQ: PRGS) meldete starke Finanzergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2025 mit erheblichem Wachstum bei wichtigen Kennzahlen. Das Unternehmen erzielte einen Umsatz von 237 Millionen US-Dollar, ein Plus von 36 % im Jahresvergleich, und einen annualisierten wiederkehrenden Umsatz (ARR) von 838 Millionen US-Dollar, was einem Wachstum von 46 % entspricht. Die Non-GAAP-Betriebsmarge verbesserte sich auf 40 %, während der verwässerte Gewinn je Aktie auf 0,39 US-Dollar (GAAP) bzw. 1,40 US-Dollar (Non-GAAP) stieg.

Das Unternehmen gab die Übernahme von Nuclia bekannt, einem Anbieter von agentenbasierten Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) KI-Lösungen, um die Fähigkeiten seiner Datenplattform zu erweitern. Die Übernahme wird als strategisch wichtig, aber für die Finanzzahlen von Progress unerheblich beschrieben.

Aufgrund der starken Leistung hat Progress seine Prognose für das Gesamtjahr 2025 angehoben und erwartet nun einen Umsatz zwischen 962 und 974 Millionen US-Dollar, eine Non-GAAP-Betriebsmarge von 38-39 % sowie einen verwässerten Non-GAAP-Gewinn je Aktie von 5,28 bis 5,40 US-Dollar. Außerdem meldete das Unternehmen bedeutende Fortschritte bei der Schuldenreduzierung und tilgte im zweiten Quartal 40 Millionen US-Dollar seiner revolvierenden Kreditfazilität.

Insights

Progress Software delivers exceptional Q2 results with 46% ARR growth, boosting guidance while successfully acquiring Nuclia to expand AI capabilities.

Progress Software has delivered exceptional Q2 2025 results that significantly outpace industry averages. The 46% year-over-year growth in ARR to $838 million demonstrates remarkable momentum in recurring revenue—the most valuable revenue type for software companies. The 36% revenue growth to $237 million substantially exceeds typical enterprise software growth rates of 10-15%.

Looking at profitability metrics, Progress has achieved impressive results with non-GAAP operating margin of 40%, expanding 200 basis points year-over-year. This demonstrates excellent operational leverage as the company scales. The non-GAAP EPS growth of 28% to $1.40 outpaces revenue growth, indicating effective cost management amid expansion.

The successful ShareFile integration appears ahead of schedule, with management noting completion of "numerous major synergy milestones." This suggests cost synergies are materializing faster than projected, which typically translates to improved margins and cash flow.

The company's confidence is clearly reflected in the raised full-year guidance across all key metrics: revenue, operating margin, EPS, and cash flow. The new revenue guidance of $962-$974 million represents an increase of approximately $4 million at midpoint from previous guidance.

The acquisition of Nuclia, while described as "immaterial" financially, strategically positions Progress to capitalize on the high-growth RAG AI market by extending their data platform capabilities. This move into agentic RAG-as-a-service aligns with enterprise demands for proprietary data utilization in GenAI applications.

The only potential concern is the decline in cash from operations, down 53% year-over-year, though this appears to be primarily timing-related as the company remains on track for significant debt reduction of $160 million this fiscal year.

With a stable Net Retention Rate of 100%, Progress is effectively maintaining its customer base while driving substantial new business growth—a powerful combination for sustained performance.

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures, Liquidity Measures and Select Performance Metrics

Progress furnishes certain non-GAAP supplemental information to our financial results. We use such non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management team believes that excluding the effects of certain GAAP-related items helps to illustrate underlying trends in our business and provides us with a more comparable measure of our continuing business, as well as greater understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business. Management also uses such non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, evaluate performance, and allocate resources. In addition, the compensation of our executives and non-executive employees is based in part on the performance of our business as evaluated by such non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors� overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future by: (i) providing more transparency for certain financial measures, (ii) presenting disclosure that helps investors understand how we plan and measure the performance of our business, (iii) affording a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to our peer companies, and (iv) enabling investors to consider our operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis (including following the integration period of our prior acquisitions). However, this non-GAAP information is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and should be considered in conjunction with our GAAP results as the items excluded from the non-GAAP information may have a material impact on Progress� financial results. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjustments to Progress' GAAP financial results is included in the tables above.

In the noted fiscal periods, we adjusted for the following items from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Amortization of acquired intangibles - We exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because those expenses are unrelated to our core operating performance and the intangible assets acquired vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions and the maturities of the businesses acquired. Adjustments include preliminary estimates relating to the valuation of intangible assets from ShareFile. The final amounts will not be available until the Company's internal procedures and reviews are completed.
  • Stock-based compensation - We exclude stock-based compensation to be consistent with the way management and, in our view, the overall financial community evaluates our performance and the methods used by analysts to calculate consensus estimates. The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include these charges in operating plans.
  • Restructuring expenses - In all periods presented, we exclude restructuring expenses incurred because those expenses distort trends and are not part of our core operating results. Adjustments include preliminary estimates relating to restructuring expenses from ShareFile. The final amounts will not be available until the Company's internal procedures and reviews are completed.
  • Acquisition-related expenses - We exclude acquisition-related expenses in order to provide a more meaningful comparison of the financial results to our historical operations and forward-looking guidance and the financial results of less acquisitive peer companies. We consider these types of costs and adjustments, to a great extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, we do not consider these acquisition-related costs and adjustments to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. In addition, the size, complexity and/or volume of past acquisitions, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future acquisitions.
  • Cyber vulnerability response expenses, net - We exclude certain expenses resulting from the zero-day MOVEit Vulnerability, as more thoroughly described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission since June 5, 2023. Expenses include costs to investigate and remediate these cyber related matters, as well as legal and other professional services related thereto. Expenses related to such cyber matters are provided net of expected insurance recoveries, although the timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses. Costs associated with the enhancement of our cybersecurity program are not included within this adjustment. We expect to continue to incur legal and other professional services expenses in future periods associated with the MOVEit Vulnerability. Expenses related to such cyber matters are expected to result in operating expenses that would not have otherwise been incurred in the normal course of business operations. We believe that excluding these costs facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
  • Provision for income taxes - We adjust our income tax provision by excluding the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments discussed above.
  • 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. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we present revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis, which helps improve the understanding of our revenue results and 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.

In the noted fiscal periods, we also present the following liquidity measures:

  • Adjusted free cash flow ("AFCF") and unlevered free cash flow ("Unlevered FCF") - AFCF is equal to cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, plus restructuring payments. Unlevered FCF is AFCF plus tax-effected interest expense on outstanding debt.

In the noted fiscal periods, we also present the following select performance metrics:

  • Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR") - We disclose ARR as a performance metric to help investors better understand and assess the performance of our business because our mix of revenue generated from recurring sources currently represents the substantial majority of our revenues and is expected to continue in the future. We define ARR as the annualized revenue of all active and contractually binding term-based contracts from all customers at a point in time. ARR includes revenue from maintenance, software upgrade rights, public cloud, and on-premises subscription-based transactions and managed services. ARR mitigates fluctuations in revenue due to seasonality, contract term and the sales mix of subscriptions for term-based licenses and SaaS. We use ARR to understand customer trends and the overall health of our business, helping us to formulate strategic business decisions.

    We calculate the annualized value of annual and multi-year contracts, and contracts with terms less than one year, by dividing the total contract value of each contract by the number of months in the term and then multiplying by 12. Annualizing contracts with terms less than one-year results in amounts being included in our ARR that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period. We generally do not sell non-SaaS-based contracts with a term of less than one year unless a customer is purchasing additional licenses under an existing annual or multi-year contract. The expectation is that at the time of renewal, such contracts with a term less than one year will renew with the same term as the existing contracts being renewed, such that both contracts are co-termed. Historically, such contracts with a term of less than one year renew at rates equal to or better than annual or multi-year contracts.

    For SaaS-based contracts, there is a meaningful percentage of monthly auto-renewing contracts for which annualizing the contracts results in amounts being included in our ARR that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period.

    Revenue from term-based license and on-premises subscription arrangements include a portion of the arrangement consideration that is allocated to the software license that is recognized up-front at the point in time control is transferred under ASC 606 revenue recognition principles. ARR for these arrangements is calculated as described above. The expectation is that the total contract value, inclusive of revenue recognized as software license, will be renewed at the end of the contract term.

    The calculation is done at constant currency using the current year budgeted exchange rates for all periods presented.

    ARR is not defined in GAAP and is not derived from a GAAP measure. Rather, ARR generally aligns to billings (as opposed to GAAP revenue which aligns to the transfer of control of each performance obligation). 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.
  • Net Retention Rate ("NRR") - 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 calculated in accordance with GAAP and is not derived from a GAAP measure.
