WALTHAM, Mass. — July 22, 2025 — Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the Enterprise Transformation Company™, released its financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

“Our unique approach to AI was a key driver of our strong first half results,” said Alan Trefler, Pega founder and CEO. “Pega harnesses AI's creative potential where it can best drive transformation—during workflow design with Pega Blueprint. This drives consistent execution through our state-of-the-art Pega Infinity workflow engine, rather than through inherently unpredictable prompts. Pega’s Predictable AI approach gives enterprises both the innovation they crave and the operational consistency they require.”

“Our first half of 2025 results show what happens when strategy, innovation, and execution come together,” said Pega COO & CFO Ken Stillwell. “Pega Blueprint is a game-changer for AI-driven enterprise transformation. Our disciplined focus on Rule of 40 principles is fueling both accelerated growth and margin expansion. We are more aligned, more energized, and more effective than ever.”

(1) The number of common shares and per share amounts have been recast for all prior periods to reflect the effect of the Company’s two-for-one forward common stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend distributed on June 20, 2025.

RECONCILIATION OF SELECTED GAAP AND NON-GAAP MEASURES (1)

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect the following adjustments:

•Stock-based compensation: We have excluded stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP operating expenses and profitability measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed to our revenues recognized during the periods presented and is expected to contribute to our future revenues, we continue to evaluate our business performance, excluding stock-based compensation.

•Restructuring: We have excluded restructuring from our non-GAAP financial measures. Restructuring fluctuates in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our restructuring activities. We believe excluding these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as these amounts are not representative of our core business operations and ongoing operational performance.

•Legal fees: Legal and related fees arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business. We believe excluding these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as the types of events giving rise to them are not representative of our core business operations and ongoing operational performance.

•Litigation settlement, net of recoveries: Cost to settle litigation, net of insurance recoveries, arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business. See "Note 20. Commitments And Contingencies" in Item 8 of our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and prior filings for further information. We believe excluding these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as the types of events giving rise to them are not representative of our core business operations and ongoing operational performance.

•Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP operating expenses and profitability measures. Amortization of intangible assets fluctuates in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of acquisitions. Investors should note that intangible assets contributed to our revenues recognized during the periods presented and are expected to contribute to future revenues. Amortization of intangible assets is likely to recur in future periods. We believe excluding these amounts provides a useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.

•Interest on convertible senior notes: In February 2020, we issued convertible senior notes (the “Notes”), due March 1, 2025, in a private placement. The Notes accrued interest at an annual rate of 0.75%, paid semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The outstanding Notes were repaid in their entirety at maturity. We believe that excluding the amortization of issuance costs provides a useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.

•Capped call transactions: We have excluded gains and losses related to our capped call transactions held at fair value under U.S. GAAP. The capped call transactions were expected to reduce common stock dilution and/or offset any potential cash payments we must make, other than for principal and interest, upon conversion of the Notes. We believe excluding these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as the types of events giving rise to them are not representative of our core business operations and ongoing operational performance.

•Foreign currency transaction loss (gain): We have excluded foreign currency transaction gains and losses from our non-GAAP profitability measures. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses fluctuate in amount and frequency and are significantly affected by foreign exchange market rates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are likely to recur in future periods. We believe excluding these amounts provides a useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.

•Other: We have excluded gains and losses from our venture investments. We believe excluding these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as the types of events giving rise to them are not representative of our core business operations and ongoing operational performance.

•Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding:

•Capped call transactions: In periods of GAAP net income, the shares calculated by applying the if-converted method related to the Company’s Notes are included in the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. The capped call transactions were expected to reduce common stock dilution and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company must make, other than for principal and interest, upon conversion of the Notes. We believe that including the expected impact of the capped call transactions in our non-GAAP financial measures provides a useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.

•Stock-based compensation: In periods of non-GAAP net income, we have included the dilutive impact of stock-based compensation in our non-GAAP weighted-average shares. In periods of GAAP net loss, these shares would have been excluded from our GAAP results as they would be anti-dilutive for GAAP. We believe including the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation in our non-GAAP financial measures in periods of net income is helpful to investors as this provides a useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods

(1) Per share amounts have been recast for all prior periods to reflect the effect of the Company’s two-for-one forward common stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend distributed on June 20, 2025.

(2) Stock-based compensation:

(3) Effective income tax rates:

			Six Months Ended June 30,
			2025						2024
GAAP			24		%				*
non-GAAP			22		%				22		%

Our GAAP effective income tax rate is subject to significant fluctuations due to several factors, including our stock-based compensation plans, research and development tax credits, and the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the U.S. and U.K. We determine our non-GAAP income tax rate using applicable rates in taxing jurisdictions and assessing certain factors, including historical and forecasted earnings by jurisdiction, discrete items, and ability to realize tax assets. We believe it is beneficial for our management to review our non-GAAP results consistent with our annual plan’s effective income tax rate as established at the beginning of each year, given tax rate volatility.

RECONCILIATION OF FREE CASH FLOW (1) AND OTHER METRICS

(1) Our non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less investment in property and equipment. Investment in property and equipment fluctuates in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of investments in our facilities and equipment. We provide information on free cash flow to enable investors to assess our ability to generate cash without incurring additional external financings. This information is not a substitute for financial measures prepared under U.S. GAAP.

(2) The supplemental information discloses items that affect our cash flows and are considered by management not to be representative of our core business operations and ongoing operational performance.

•Litigation settlement, net of recoveries: Cost to settle litigation, net of insurance recoveries, arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business. See "Note 20. Commitments And Contingencies" in Item 8 of our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and prior filings for further information.

•Legal fees: Legal and related fees arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business.

•Restructuring: Restructuring fluctuates in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our restructuring activities.

•Interest paid on convertible senior notes: In February 2020, we issued convertible senior notes (the “Notes”), due March 1, 2025, in a private placement. The Notes accrued interest at an annual rate of 0.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The outstanding Notes were repaid in their entirety at maturity.

•Income taxes, net of refunds: Direct income taxes paid net of refunds received.

Annual contract value (“ACV”) - ACV represents the annualized value of our active contracts as of the measurement date. The contract's total value is divided by its duration in years to calculate ACV. ACV is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors.
