OpenText Corporation Reports Annual Results for Fiscal Year 2025
OpenText Corporation, a prominent player in the Information Management sector, has released its annual financial results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The company, known for its comprehensive suite of products and services aimed at enhancing digital transformation, faced significant shifts in its operations due to strategic acquisitions and divestitures during the year.
1. Executive Overview
OpenText provides an array of solutions that empower organizations to manage both structured and unstructured data effectively. The firm employs approximately 21,400 individuals across 42 countries, with a significant presence in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific.
Fiscal 2025 Summary
In Fiscal 2025, OpenText reported total revenue of $5,168.4 million, reflecting a decrease of 10.4% compared to the previous fiscal year. This decline was largely attributed to the divestiture of its Application, Modernization and Connectivity (AMC) business, which was completed on May 1, 2024. Annual recurring revenue stood at $4,190.5 million, a year-over-year decline of 7.6%. However, cloud services and subscriptions revenue increased by 2.0%, reaching $1,856.5 million.
Key financial metrics from Fiscal 2025 include:
- GAAP-based net income: $435.9 million, down from $465.1 million in the prior fiscal year.
- Non-GAAP-based net income: $1,007.8 million, compared to $1,137.3 million in the previous year.
- Operating cash flow: Decreased by 14.2% to $830.6 million.
During the fiscal year, OpenText repurchased 14,524,664 Common Shares for $418.3 million and declared cash dividends of $1.05 per Common Share, totaling $271.5 million.
2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
OpenText has been active in both acquisitions and divestitures as part of its strategic growth initiatives. The acquisition of Micro Focus International Limited for $6.2 billion was completed on January 31, 2023, significantly influencing revenue and operational results in Fiscal 2025. Conversely, the divestiture of the AMC business for $2.275 billion in cash led to notable changes in year-over-year financial comparisons.
Following these moves, OpenText consolidated the results of its acquisitions, including KineMatik Ltd. and Pillr, into its financials, further shaping its operational landscape.

The operating performance for Fiscal 2025 was impacted by the aforementioned acquisitions and divestitures. The company observed a stark decline in license revenues of 25.0% and a 14.0% drop in customer support revenues.
