Mark: Let me walk through our top growth opportunities in key areas, we are looking to outperform in the.
Mark: The first is in our installed base, we have a marquee install base with 120000 enterprise customers we.
Mark: We will complete next quarter, but delivery of titanium exor cloud editions twenty-five dot two we view each customer that's an opportunity to upgrade the titanium X. We expect to upgrade customers in place upgrade them to the cloud and expand capabilities wherever they run their workflows, if they choose not to upgrade their support.
Mark: Peaceful gradually rise overtime.

Speaker Change: We are also still very much in the license business. This is a meaningful mechanism for customers to own not subscribe to our information management capabilities.
Speaker Change: Speaking a moment to the grants of certain IP rights from last year.
Speaker Change: Excluding these grants from last year, our license business will grow this fiscal year.
Speaker Change: We introduced in January a new mechanism for customers to own our technology via a license we call. It the open path Hello, a perpetual end user license agreement they.
The open text pillar is an uplift on existing license and maintenance, allowing the customer to remove limits on their usage wallen active support and <unk>.
Speaker Change: Additionally, these customers gain cloud credits for future consumption, that's providing an additional incentive to purchase the open past.
Speaker Change: License and maintenance growth are intrinsically related.
Speaker Change: It's important to note that while our core maintenance business continues to return impressive results. The Italian ATM areas are not growing this year due to the license performance.
Speaker Change: With this our total maintenance revenue growth rate will be negative this year. Our return to total maintenance growth is centered on three programs continued execution on a P E and premium services to sell more licenses, including Italian ATM and open path and three new advanced customer services, our Acs we.
Speaker Change: We're focused on growth we were we will return to growth and we will.

The next leg of item growth will be driven by expanding outside of traditional it workflows into employee workflows customer and industry workflows in the emerging <unk> and.
Speaker Change: Operational workflows.
Speaker Change: On the ATM side, we have Reoriented, our go to market strategy as a top of market focus.
Speaker Change: And as differentiate it not for single developer, but for a large scale organizations, who are writing software. This is a really good place to be as we are all software companies today.
Speaker Change: Our top industry focus includes software and cloud companies financial services auto.
Speaker Change: Telecommunications biotech and more with this new strategy and with titanium X. We have two key SaaS wins already in Q2 at Pfizer and Lilly I am confident we will return to growth with titanium SaaS AI and on top of market focus. We're also live internally across 10000 engineers.
Speaker Change: Four requirements management productivity insight lease management and quality, we took all our requirements and put them in the product and now thats part of titanium X I find when you can run the software yourself and gained value you build strong momentum from there.
Speaker Change: Next growth opportunity continues to be with our Hyperscale partners, who play an expanded role in our cloud growth real simple, Microsoft we've decided to bring our xdr to market honest, you're an integrated with Microsoft Security co pilot, our new SaaS platform and our new sovereign capabilities run on G. C. P. R.
Speaker Change: Cloud runs across all of the hyperscale or as for customer choice with AWS G. C. P. In Azure a S. A P products run in the cloud and across all Hyperscale or <unk>.
Speaker Change: And as I said at open text World, we make multi cloud work and these partnerships will contribute markedly.
Speaker Change: And finally in addition to all these organic programs, we will continue to evaluate strategic opportunities to create value and increase our growth rate through divestitures for combinations.
Speaker Change: Let me turn to RPM.
With gross growth as our new number one priority I wanted to present, our new RP O disclosures in new cloud <unk> metric that will provide insight into our cloud growth overtime. There are two strategic points I'd like to make and then Madhu will go into the detail.
Madhu: We are now providing further insight into our appeal, both for cloud and maintenance both current and non current.
Madhu: As you can see from ending Q2 cloud RP O was $2 3 billion and larger than our maintenance our P O at $1 8 billion.
Madhu: Please note. This is now for the entirety of our cloud business and fully includes enterprise and SMB, There's no more asterix on our disclosure, including that's not including this this is our full cloud business.
Madhu: Second we're also introducing a new metric cloud C. R. P L and what flows in and what flows out in it.
Madhu: Common sense formula to calculate the change in cloud ERP all from our beginning period, two and ending period. We also included an example contract waterfall, we designed dark disclosure after reviewing market, leading cloud companies, including SAP and Salesforce and of course, we welcomed European do we welcome your continued feedback to improve even more.
Madhu: Now we're also including periods ending June 30th 24 September 30th 24 at December 31, 24, and will provide these new disclosures every quarter going forward and when we complete this fiscal year. You can then begin to gain further insight by tracking year over year Cloud C. R. P. L compares and growth.
It's always a good time to provide.
Madhu: A deeper insight into our appeal I mean move onto our financial targets and turn to our updated F. 'twenty five targets, we're revising our revenue downward by $130 million to a range of $5 175.17 billion to $5 two 7 billion.
Madhu: The 130 million is broken out approximately 25% FX.
Madhu: 25% D M D X C impacting license and maintenance and 50% from icon and ADM performance impacting license and maintenance.
Madhu: Turning to slide nine to our Investor presentation provide detailed insight into the $130 million now conjunctive with this our cloud revenue range is unchanged. Our adjusted EBITDA percent target is unchanged, our new cloud bookings growth range is 20% to 25% representing a very strong second half and momentum.
Madhu: Into 26, we're raising our free cash flow range to $600 million to $650 million. We're on track to delivering 570 million plus a record capital return to shareholders. This year through dividends and buybacks and our F. 'twenty six and longer term aspirations remain unchanged in our next update on a longer term view will be.
Madhu: On our year end call.
Madhu: Like all businesses, we are monitoring the impacts of tariffs currency and the transactional nature of U S policy. All of these items are creating some business uncertainty.
Madhu: Let me turn to <unk> for a moment as well chronicled that HP <unk> and micro focus had a strategic relationship with DSC was a major reseller and consumer of HPE and Microfocus software.
Madhu: During Q2, the long life Microfocus Alliance agreement with DXP has now run its course and that reflects the end of an unlimited deployment model with Dx seat in Q2.
Madhu: And we did not come to a mutually beneficial new agreement.
Madhu: This ending as it is the best outcome in the long run for open text as we're able to establish now full value for software engage customers directly however, the near term it creates some headwinds for renewals and maintenance revenue in the second half of the year second half of fiscal 'twenty five more importantly, it positions us for success in 26, which is <unk>.
Madhu: DXP remains partner and we hope to build a forward looking partnership from here.
Madhu: As we discussed during our last earnings call Q2, and a half twenty-five are difficult year over year comparisons.
Madhu: Please recall in fiscal 'twenty four we disclosed the license revenue primarily from inclusion of Microfocus and grants of certain IP rights. This was particularly called out within Q2 and Q3 of last year I want to give a really important perspective, you really important when you're looking at the core health of our business and the foundation we are building on.
Madhu: For growth as our new number one priority excluding AMC.
Madhu: Clothing license revenue from grants of certain IP rights, excluding the FX impacts our F. 'twenty five year over year revenue growth would be constant not declining.
Madhu: Excluding the second half the impact would be growing.
Madhu: And further and very important we expect the company to return to bright line organic growth in Q4 Hope you find this insight helpful.
Madhu: Let me wrap up with some qualitative comments as we look over the remainder of fiscal 'twenty five.
Madhu: Post AMC divestiture margin was clearly our number one priority.
Madhu: Our first half results.
Madhu: And our Q2 delivery we have delivered.
Madhu: Now that we've delivered we're setting a new number one priority which is growth we.
Madhu: We have our business model right and our operating foundation strong and with a Q2 adjusted EBITDA of 37, 6% 307 million free cash flow and raising our free cash flow outlook for the year.
Madhu: Our growth challenges are in focused areas and we have a clear plan to resolve them in the short term with a more focused leadership team. We expect Q4 to have bright line total revenue growth and this sets us up for a successful F. 'twenty six we're excited about the opportunity of growth in titanium ex content security AI SaaS.
Madhu: Getting item at ADM towards that improved ex us sales execution open path for license advanced customer services for maintenance, all expanding our competitive advantage.
Madhu: I'd also like to note that near 60% of our businesses in the U S and the New administration is focused on pro growth initiatives and investments like S. M B and expanding manufacturing. We're excited about these pro growth opportunities ahead of us in the United States.
Madhu: Growth plus competitive advantage plus margin and free cash flow expansion plus capital return because he open texts formula for creating exceptional shareholder value.
You asked for more transparency and to the exceptional items and our cloud. So I hope you find the deeper insights helpful. Today, you have my full commitment to continue this style of communication.
Madhu: So let me end with we're making progress. So you should team is focused and we will not rest nor will be satisfied until we deliver total growth cloud.
Speaker Change: Cloud growing faster come back to maintenance growth so with that let me turn the call over to Mr. <unk>.
Speaker Change: Thank you Mark and thank you all for joining us today.
Please refer to the IR materials posted on our website.
Speaker Change: In Q2, we demonstrated the strength of our operating model delivering 37, 6% adjusted EBITDA, a significant achievement and that reflects that operational efficiency as a larger company. Today I will also present expanded disclosures and new metrics relating to IPO and cips and specific instances I will provide year over year comparison.
Speaker Change: Excluding the impact of AMC divestiture.
Speaker Change: And moving to financials metrics GAAP net income was $229 9 million or <unk> 87 cents diluted EPS non.
Speaker Change: non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.11 down 10, 5% due to the impact of AMC divestiture.
Speaker Change: GAAP gross margin of 73, 3% was down from 73, 6% year over year.
Speaker Change: non-GAAP gross margin of 77, 2% compared to 78, 6% due to higher margin license revenue in the prior year from AMC and IP rights now.
Speaker Change: non-GAAP cloud gross margin was strong at 63, 3%.
Speaker Change: Just an EBITDA of $501 5 million or 37, 6% and continues to reflect our extreme operational focus to capture.
Speaker Change: Margin opportunity operating cash flows of $348 million and free cash flow to see how the $6 7 million Dsos at 43 days, one day higher than 42 days from last quarter and down four days from Q2 last year at 47 days and that reflects the strength of our working capital and what is seasonal.
Speaker Change: The the highest billing quarter for us.
Speaker Change: Now moving to outlook first let me draw your attention to our Q3 quarterly factors included in slide 12 of our Investor presentation. We expect 1.26 billion to $1 3 billion of total revenue and <unk> at 1.025 billion to 1.045 billion with targeting Q3 of <unk>.
Speaker Change: EBITDA margin of 29% to 30% and let me recall that while our fiscal year ending June 30th January of each year starts the clock for employee Saturday uplift the higher benefits and vacation accruals to note. Our total spend in Q3 would be approximately 8% higher on a quarter over quarter basis.
Speaker Change: Due to the factors I, just noted yet 3% lower on a year over year as we continue to optimize that expense models.
Speaker Change: I just provided you with insight into our updated fiscal 'twenty five outlook and that that is a clear path ahead to address our near term challenges we remain on target for our fiscal 2025, adjusted EBITDA target of 33% to 34% and have increased our free cash flow range to 600 to 650 million fully yet.
Speaker Change: Now let me offer more details on our expanded disclosures are leading to RPM.

Speaker Change: The remainder is the balance beyond 12 months.
Speaker Change: We want to provide additional insights and sharing two numbers relating to cloud revenue in any given 12 months approximately 60% of the cloud revenue arises from CRT or current Doctor your balance and remainder of the 40% is contributed in either by revenue from India in new business revenue from India.
Speaker Change: Louis and do defer to our strong cloud renewal rates revenues from India uncommitted business, which include business not in committed contracts and contracts more aligned to consumption models like our business network.
Speaker Change: Page four of our supplemental materials for details on cloud CRT, a model and a cloud contract example on pages five and eight.
Speaker Change: Our enterprise cloud bookings 250 million for Q2 flow completely into the cloud appeal balances and only the current portion of those bookings flow into see IPO.
Speaker Change: For customer support the percentage to be recognized for the next 12 months is 17, 9% given the predominantly annual nature of the support contracts and ratable revenue recognition.
Speaker Change: These balances can fluctuate from quarter to quarter, we are a global company operating in multiple industries and verticals and seasonality is inherent in our business calendar year end and our fiscal fourth quarter June was generally see stronger bookings.
Speaker Change: In summary, I would like to close with our previously communicated full point strategy to create shareholder value as we continue to accelerate cloud growth capturing the large margin opportunity and casually expansions remain front and center.
Speaker Change: Long said disciplined capital allocation all enabled by the open text business system.
Speaker Change: Our strong operational improvements during the last two fiscal years are paying off. These efforts continued in Q2, posting 37, 6% adjusted EBITDA margin in Q2, our free cash flow and working capital performance in Q2 was driven by strong cost controls and and leveraging timely in advanced billing supported by steadfast collections.

The record date for this dividend is March seven 2025, and the payment date is March 21, 2025, we continue to be on track to deliver approximately $570 million of capital.
Speaker Change: Our dividend and share buyback programs this fiscal year.
Speaker Change: I'll close with a few areas relating to operational initiatives, but the deep lens again into margin and cash flow expansion expanding.
Speaker Change: Expanding cloud profitability by addressing our fixed data center space, optimizing cloud infrastructure vendor contracts and customer level cost structures, and hyperscale or cost containment all with continued to benefit our cloud gross margin.
Speaker Change: Our next wave of high value use of AI internally are in full motion in Samsung R&D.
Speaker Change: Type C on who is with US today and can certainly take your questions. Todd has rolled out programs towards consistency and elevating sales excellence. This would improve sales productivity, while giving us operating leverage we continue to expand our centers of excellence given the incredible talent and capabilities.

Mark: Visibility and you have my commitment to continue that style of communications look I think our around around the globe are the only area at shot out as Europe, and and and and growth is is it's hard in Europe right now.
Mark: But we are in very good industries were and strategic manufacturing were in communications, where deep with governments and that's really only macro area that I I would shut out we're quite excited about the pro pro a growth American investment.
Mark: Initiatives happening in SMB and U S based manufacturing and Theres no doubt that currency the new U S administration is focused on the U S currency, which is creating FX challenges for everyone Who's a global business, we are not subject to tariffs.
As a digital company, we'll see where that progresses over time, but it's really on physical goods.
Mark: Not not digital services.
Mark: And that just creates some uncertainty for others actually we're here to help customers to <unk>.
About moving manufacturing or supply chains to kind of you know right balanced their portfolios. So we're not subject to the tariffs we're helping customers.
Mark: We're excited about the pro growth up investments in the U S. But I'd say growth in Europe is Ah Ah is as elusive right now, but I like the industries we're in.
Mark: Perfect. Thank you and I have one follow up.
Mark: <unk> talked a lot about them.
Speaker Change: I had one follow up you talked a lot about like item and you made mention of suitability I T. S M et cetera, but the one question I get a lot from U S. Investors is around like how should we think about you in the market because obviously there is like.
Speaker Change: Now on the idea of same item side, there's like the uptake, but its you guys out there like where do you think you kind of play and where do you win thank you and congrats from me.
Speaker Change: Yeah. Thank you well I like very much the well that's why I highlight it we want to outperform in key categories and the three key categories, our content security and what we call item today. So if you think of our ability to discover a company.
Speaker Change: Through observer ability and monitor it.
Speaker Change: <unk> to manage all its unstructured content intelligent content collaboration workflows, but on top of that have our own packaged staff not just for I T.
Speaker Change: Service management, but for HR help desk for supply chain help desk.
Speaker Change: Corporate employee experiences I think we're very well positioned.
Speaker Change: <unk> core stack to Outcompete and outperform so expect us to focus on Absorbability and service management being real focused in those two areas.
Speaker Change: But combined with security and combined with our strength in content.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: The next question is from <unk>.
Speaker Change: So now with Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Speaker Change: I appreciate the question. This is bill Simmons for adverse Abad from Jefferies.
Speaker Change: Keith you highlighted multiple growth opportunities.
Speaker Change: Mark maybe expanding on the previous answer what are those growth opportunities you've talked about with security maybe double click there can you talk about where you do particularly well in security today in additional areas.
Speaker Change: That's it.
Speaker Change: You're taking right now to disrupt that market.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: Pretty happily and thank you just a little echo on the phone there.
Speaker Change: So where we're focusing where we are today.
Speaker Change: Is core identity applications network and forensics, that's where we excel today and I highlighted some of our new SaaS wins in that area. Nestle for example for a total level security Frost bank and voltage for transaction Crimson and cap Gemini and identity management.
Speaker Change: Our next deliverable or the next market segment for US is xdr right the ability to adjust detect and respond and we think we're very uniquely positioned with some of the core assets from Microfocus.
Speaker Change: As well as the vertical database some of our own technology.
And we partner with Microsoft We've built this integrated to Azure. We've built this integrated with security co pilot, we're going to go to market with Microsoft and we believe we're gonna be a composed of both solution. Now we don't think we have to go in and displace any one actually we want to be we want it.
Speaker Change: We want to incorporate them all and to what we do and we think we can provide value on top of them all to be able to literally ingest Billy.
Speaker Change: Billions of events, a day and process them down to a multiple a needle in multiple haystacks.
Speaker Change: The next area is we wanted to bring all of that to our install base. So when we launched titanium X next quarter or.
Speaker Change: The xdr capabilities will be pre integrated to our content platform and pre integrated to our business network platform. So we can go into our install base and not just try to win xdr standalone extra on top of other vendors, but pre integrated into our own software. So that's why I highlighted it as my second point of.
Speaker Change: Growth and a category, we're going to out compete in and we put into it to lead the engineering side of the business, we repositioned movie Mazuch to do nothing but security. So that's why we feel pretty confident here.
Thanks, Mark and then if I could sneak in a second one.
Speaker Change: A big focus during the presentations at open text World was on some of the go to market changes across the business can you just remind us of some of those announcements.

Speaker Change: And that's what we're doing today inclusive of materials in our IR deck. So within the 130 million, 25% is FX, 25% is D. C. It really focuses on our focus is down to just ADM an item of about $65 million to $70 million, where is the core challenge and its related.
Speaker Change: It to license and maintenance.
Speaker Change: The cloud side. So we got the security business back on track, so and item its about titanium ex or do observe ability cloud.
Speaker Change: Service management cloud.
Speaker Change: We believe we are ready now and including some of the investments Todd was talking about and we're simply going to relaunch.
Speaker Change: With titanium Maxon Reengage, our 5000 customers on ADM.
Speaker Change: We have now refocused the portfolio to be top of market and this idea of to be everything to all things, which was the previous strategy do you think the new strategy going forward, where we're not here for a single developer. We're here for a large scale developer organizations were now live on the product I got 10.
Speaker Change: <unk> engineers and the product every single day, we've taken all those advancements put him back in the product and the released with titanium Max thus wins like at Pfizer.
Speaker Change: And Eli Lilly that we've talked about so we're confident that here in the short term we're going to return those two pieces are a back back to growth I'd also like to take the opportunity if I can again, unless the IP licensing license will grow this year.
Speaker Change: The IP and FX, our businesses constant this year unless dfc, we'd be growing so we're very focused on that that fit that that area of item and ADM license maintenance $65 million to $70 million.
Speaker Change: And I believe we got the right plan here in the short term to return them to growth.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: Okay, Great and then you touched on the new licensing model in your prepared remarks, which should be a bit of a tailwind just any further color on that in any one specifically was that launched.
Speaker Change: Yeah, we launched it in January this is the open text Palo.
Speaker Change: And look we have a large license install base and we're in the license business.
Speaker Change: And there are a couple of models in the industry.
Speaker Change: Tom.
Speaker Change: When you get a pretty mature in this space.
Speaker Change: Customers.
Speaker Change: I want to keep for those customers, who want to keep running on premise or off cloud we wanted to help support them.
Speaker Change: And and you know they've grown they've acquired Oh, they may want to expand to new divisions add more users. So we're gonna make it easy for them.
Speaker Change: Work and allow them to go enterprise wide.
Speaker Change: Not have to count anymore.
Speaker Change: And that will require a license uplift in our maintenance uplift.
Speaker Change: And we will give them some cloud credits along the way so when they're ready to move to the cloud, they're even more invested in the open text solution. So.
Speaker Change: Again less the IP licensing license is growing this year and we wanted to kind of continue that momentum with this this new open past mechanism.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: But the premise is that the clients pay more but in exchange get unlimited licenses such requirements. That's.
Speaker Change: That's correct that they will get they'll pay more and license they'll pay a little more in maintenance and.
Speaker Change: In exchange for that there'll be able to go unlimited.
Speaker Change: And they will no longer have to count.
Speaker Change: Alright.
Speaker Change: Thanks, Mark I'll pass along.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Speaker Change: Operator next our next question.
Speaker Change: Oh Jeez. The next question is from Stephanie price with CIBC. Please go ahead.
Stephanie Price: Good afternoon.
Speaker Change: Just in light of some of the recent news around large language models, such as deep Sea just curious how you're thinking about planned investments in AI and whether you think you can benefit from some of the cost reductions neon space.
Stephanie Price: Yes, we're.
Stephanie Price: You know I said earlier, it's definitely a welcome to call our criteria question I.
Stephanie Price: I said very early on there'll be a thousand language models and let a thousand models bloom.
Stephanie Price: Quota pull them those tool ups not language models below 1000, tulips Bloom, so let a thousand models bloom.
Stephanie Price: We like the spirit of deep seek to lower the cost.
<unk> language models.
Stephanie Price: And we're already embedding some open source bottles into parts of our solution to for ease of deployment predictability of expense and lower expense. So we applaud.
Stephanie Price: The spirit behind deep seek and we think this trend will continue.
Stephanie Price: Now for technical point.
Stephanie Price: We have deep seek.
Stephanie Price: <unk> been a quarantine area fully installed we've tried the <unk> one model.
Stephanie Price: It doesn't really work.
Stephanie Price: So it's actually more expensive than running Lama, so I don't want to get into the technical aspects of the the.
Stephanie Price: The version in China of how it may be running the technical backend.
Stephanie Price: What we've done just a pure test and a quarantine Faraday cage.
Stephanie Price: And it simply doesn't outperform Lama and is not more cost effective but we applaud.
Stephanie Price: This idea of innovation open source models and lowering the cost and we will benefit from that.
Stephanie Price: Yeah.
Speaker Change: Thanks for the color and then in your prepared remarks, you mentioned evaluating strategic alternatives to increase value either through divestitures or combinations.
Even span on how to think about capital allocation at this point.
Speaker Change: Well great.
Speaker Change: A great question and.
Speaker Change: Look I think it goes like this.
Speaker Change: With.
Speaker Change: Our margin was our number one priority post EMC divestiture and I couldnt be more proud of the team and how they delivered in the first half, including Q2, I mean half a billion dollars of adjusted EBITDA dollars. So we'd have a new number one priority.
Speaker Change: We have multiple priorities, but this is this is our number one overriding priority at the company, which is now growth and it's across all be use and maintenance.
Speaker Change: We're going to return to bright line growth in Q4.
Speaker Change: And yes, we all want more growth and we expect more growth and will return to growth in Q4, that's our current focus now.
Speaker Change: Now in parallel we're going to continue to evaluate strategic opportunities and what does that mean in some cases I think it will mean for Bu and acquisition.
I think some other cases it could mean a combination of divestiture.
Speaker Change: But my macro point is this and my attention for purposely saying it on the call in my script as I wanted deliver more paths and more reasons to buy our stock.
Speaker Change: And I think those answers are total growth higher cloud growth.
Speaker Change: Their margins are higher free cash flows upper quartile capital return.
Speaker Change: And unlocking the value of each of our business units beyond organic growth through this strategic thinking.
Speaker Change: So.
Speaker Change: Clearly, we're focused right now on record capital return in 'twenty five.
Speaker Change: Completing the divestiture and getting the margin operation engine boy, it's just a whole different level of oxygen what growth is our number one priority and as we focus on each be you to do that I wanted to kind of walk through just how I was thinking.
Speaker Change: In parallel to just focusing on organic growth I hope that's helpful.
That is thank you very much.
Speaker Change: Our next question is from Paul Treiber with RBC capital markets. Please go ahead.
Speaker Change: Oh, thanks, so much and good afternoon, just wanted to.
Speaker Change: To ask a question on bookings.
Speaker Change: And your expectations for bookings going forward the outlook calls for a pickup in growth in the second half of the year. What do you see as the primary driver of that is do you expect titanium Max to drive a search or do you just see less seasonality than in the past.
Speaker Change: And $200 million or so in bookings per quarter as sort of a new normal going forward yeah, Yeah, Paul Let me just jump in the hand, and I'll hand, it to Todd.
Speaker Change: Look I on a percent basis it was.
Speaker Change: A little over 6% in Q2, but it was a record high watermark of $250 million of guaranteed new bookings that flowed right into <unk>.
Speaker Change: So that is the high watermark and clearly we're expecting a V.
Speaker Change: Very strong second half and Todd I'll, let you talk to the strong second half, yes, thanks, Mark and thanks for the question. So I mean, just as Mark mentioned, we're super proud and excited about that record quarter of customer demand for cloud or new bookings and we see this continuing into the second half because we've got a solid pipeline in Q3 and in Q4, we are larger.
Speaker Change: <unk> cloud pipeline ever that means we've got really strong coverage and in addition to that we've launched already a focus list of programs and incentives to convert that pipeline and we also fully expect that titanium <unk> being completed next quarter, it's going to provide a tailwind for that.
Speaker Change: Pipeline conversion as well so we're super bullish.
That's great to hear thanks for the explanation be shifting shifting gears and.
Speaker Change: Speaking on AI could you walk through you touched in the past like Theres internal initiatives around AI do you have any metrics you can share in terms of the productivity gains that you've seen or ways that you can be more efficient youre spending internally. So perhaps you can ship that.
Speaker Change: Those dollars to focus on growth initiatives.
Speaker Change: Yeah. Great question. Thank you, Paul we're not ready to put a quantum on it.
Speaker Change: But we have two large initiatives and there'll be a third and a fourth that's right on the event horizon for us.
Speaker Change: The first is our platform.
Speaker Change: Thenar.
Speaker Change: Where you can imagine.
<unk> the.
Speaker Change: The breadth.
Speaker Change: Software rebuild and development environments.
Speaker Change: You know, it's you know we're close to 10 billion lines of code.
Speaker Change: Cross multiple environments, and <unk> and all of that.
Speaker Change: We've built a proprietary AI.
Speaker Change: AI platform internally.
For our developers.
Speaker Change: To use Athena, we don't use co pilot.
To use Athena for things such as the following explain a piece of code to me I'm, a new developer and I've got to learn a piece of code explain it to me.
Speaker Change: Can you fix the bug helped me.
Speaker Change: I need to write an interface to an API generate the code.
Speaker Change: I need to localize it and.
Speaker Change: Uh huh.
Speaker Change: Or in left left to right languages, so generate the screens and Gui for me.
Speaker Change: So.
Speaker Change: That's kind of uplift productivity.
Speaker Change: Is that 5% to 10%, we'll see it could be mid single digits could be low double digit and if we can do that I just added 1000 developers no extra cost.
Speaker Change: On the sales side, we are live on our platform, we call internally Ali Dot AI. All he was your original name for our pre demo environment are back in the lives linked days and we've advanced it to Ali Dot AI, where we're helping them be downloaded at open text world to generate rfps.
Speaker Change: Can that uplift our sales productivity, 5% to 10%, 15% increase our win rate.
Todd: Todd any comments you want to provide on on Ali <unk>, Yeah. So if you're a pre sales leader at open text that is your first.
Todd: Stop when you have an RFP right now it is live and it's active and we are at the precipice in Q3 of expanding that and the capabilities for the entire Salesforce account executives will have new information at their fingertips via mobile as well. So we're really excited about AI.
Todd: Boosting our efficiency in worldwide sales.
Todd: So next stop is tech support.
Todd: And one of the next stops post that is helping increase our win rate.
Todd: Oh, and competing and more opportunity so long from what we've seen from theory to test beds to version one even version twos internally I'm, absolutely convinced will raise productivity.
Todd: And engineering.
Todd: Sales support and helping us compete more and win more widmore, but not ready to put a hard dollar number on it yet Paul but we'll keep you updated.
Speaker Change: Thanks for taking the questions.
Todd: Thank you.
Speaker Change: Our next question is from Seth Gilbert with UBS. Please go ahead.
Speaker Change: Thanks for the questions maybe two if I may start you made a comment at the beginning of your prepared remarks about the upgrade to titanium axis re engaging with 5000 customers.
Speaker Change: Can you just kind of rising over time I was wondering if you could talk about the upgrade journey titanium ask how's it going is there maybe a plan to migrate certain percent of customers in FY 'twenty five.
Speaker Change: Yeah fair enough. So titanium X is fully delivered next quarter right. So we're almost there and we have 5000 customers where just on items not the overall install base of 120000.
Speaker Change: What's the opportunity.
Speaker Change: Is large for us.
Speaker Change: We want to get.
Speaker Change: The entire install I mean, I'm just going to start a big generale I want the entire install base to be engaged and move to titanium Max overtime. All we got to bring our installed base with us and it's compelling Gen AI and aviators 15 aviators 100 agents SaaS at scale I've already started to highlight some of the wins.
Speaker Change: As all the froth cap Gemini.
Speaker Change: Content Pleasant cotton the content world intelligent content, plus AI workflow plus as I, Tom the one you highlighted <unk> ability service cloud ADM. The features that run open tax can now run you beyond control tower in AI and security Xdr, So titanium X is compelling.
Speaker Change: We're going to start with those on older versions.
Speaker Change: When are we going to kind of look at three three major buckets. One of those buckets is the customers on three releases in back Oh, we have a world class PS organization, they'll engage they'll have upgrade programs.
And that's the first place that we're going to go to with titanium X and we respect customers, who don't want to move and we're perfectly understand that but we will begin to raise your prices.
Speaker Change: And because there are cost will go up of supporting you off cloud so that's a bit of the opportunity.
That's a bit of where we're going to start and we begin next quarter.
Speaker Change: Got it very helpful. Maybe just as a follow up unless I missed it I didn't see.
Speaker Change: Any of the disclosure around the business unit revenue split I guess, we were we were hopeful that we would see maybe a little bit of it this quarter. So even if and correct me if I maybe missed it in the filings, but even if not a quantitative I was wondering if you could provide maybe some qualitative color on some of the faster growing be used.
Speaker Change: MS units and maybe some that are not growing as quickly. Thank you.
Speaker Change: Yeah, No you didn't miss it.
Speaker Change: And what we did this quarter.
Speaker Change: His focus on.
Speaker Change: Cloud.
Speaker Change: And so the new <unk> disclosure is very important and very strategic and ties to our number one priority. So we put our energy there.
Speaker Change: This is a long life disclosure for us to give you the insight into the strength of our cloud growth over time.
Speaker Change: So that's where we put our energy to get RPI.
Speaker Change: Maintenance and cloud <unk> and cloud <unk> cloud CRP Oh, so that's fully fully available. We also focused our attention in the communication around I want I just want to say it again that again less the IP licensing.
Speaker Change: License is growing this year, new new insight for you all.
Speaker Change: Less IP and FX the business is constant new insight for you unless dfc, we'd be growing so we focused on those insights.
Speaker Change: Burst breaking down each each bu.
Speaker Change: We will we will at the end of the year provide our usual be you update if you will content are hot hand with AI.
Speaker Change: Security growing.
Speaker Change: M B a.
Speaker Change: It was a negative year last year.
Speaker Change: Or or performing constant this year with path to the second half growth. For example, we just delivered the new secured cloud secure VPN or PR.
Speaker Change: PC Optimizer, Oh, we have edr unsecured cloud and we have a whole new online presence as cyber security open tax dotcom. So SMB went from negative to constant path to growth in the second half should be a positive contributor in the year out. We also provided some insight into ADM an item on the call specifically around.
Maintenance and license. So we thought that was we thought that was a better usage of our time to give you that insight.
Speaker Change: And so that's a little bit of the Bu insight, but we'll have a full update at the end of the year.
unknown: Got it Super helpful. Thank you Mark.
Speaker Change: And Seth welcome to our call and thank you for your questions.
The next question is from Kevin Chris Shneur asked me with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.
Kevin: Hey, there I get afternoon question on on the cloud business that had a nice uptick in growth this quarter, but you've maintained.
Kevin: The guide, 2% to 5% for the year you sound really bullish on on on that business you talked about a lot of different initiatives big SaaS wins.
Kevin: I'm just curious you know you know what would you is there anything to think about that would make you know the revenue growth in the cloud the closer to the 2% range rather than the 5% range, but just wondering about the guidance and your thoughts there.
Speaker Change: Well I I highlighted a couple of things and even tighter Madhu jump in one is record new commitments in Q4 $250 million.
Speaker Change: Outflows right into the top of the <unk> and you can now see the RP O and Youll see it next quarter.
Speaker Change: Second is I highlighted.
Speaker Change:
Speaker Change: Large strategic SaaS wins before the full delivery.
Speaker Change: <unk> by the way when we deliver titanium customers don't have to upgrade those pieces, we upgrade them forum on the content side large win at SAP.
Speaker Change: Aldi immune agree on the security side Frost cap Gemini necessarily on ADM Lilly Pfizer Theyre, all SaaS wins faster time to revenue.
Speaker Change: And and then the momentum around the delivery of titanium X.
Speaker Change:
Speaker Change: So yes, we're focused on a $65 $70 million in an ATM and I, Tom but no. We're not moving are our cloud view of fiscal 'twenty five.
Madhu: Anything you want to add her madhu.
Madhu: Yeah, I'll take a pass and then Todd can chime in so Kevin just specific question on why we left the range is unchanged right I think the good news is that we did lead the ranges unchanged notwithstanding a kind of a downward trend in the other buckets license and maintenance right now two things I will I will remind us our enterprise cloud bookings are strong cloud bookings.
Madhu: We still have a ramp to revenue right. There's about a six to nine months. After the first started of revenues. So think of this as providing us more visibility into beyond 'twenty five.
Madhu: And then the second part as Mark outlined SMB and see a very strong components of cloud revenue for this year for 25, we are planning them at more neutral to constant. So those are the reasons why we left the range unchanged and SaaS is picking up as you heard from Marc and overtime beyond 25 suddenly we think the SaaS.
The mix in the overall cloud revenue.
Madhu: We will provide higher velocity from bookings to revenue.
Madhu: Yes that would put it.
Madhu: Adding on to my comments I made about the direct sales force and the pipeline activation and conversion activity. We have underway partnerships are playing an increasingly important role in our cloud business and that's going to only continue mark referenced a couple of those just to reinforce our industry, leading SAP partnership is driving accelerated.
Madhu: Cloud growth our relationships with the cloud service providers, Microsoft and Google are contributing and then in our emerging markets in specific industries resellers are playing an increasingly important role for us as well and we're excited about that.
Speaker Change: I really appreciate that extra color I just wanted to slip one last one in here can you remind us how big your government opportunity is how much how much government exposure you have in the U S and maybe any thoughts on Doge, you know potential benefits or things to consider there. Thanks.
Speaker Change: Yeah, No we don't break out just our U S government business.
Speaker Change: But I would say globally the public sector.
Speaker Change: Is.
Speaker Change: Roughly 15% of our revenues on a global on a global basis.
Speaker Change: Look were.
Speaker Change:
Speaker Change: On the business front, we are excited about the opportunities in the U S.
Speaker Change: The.
Speaker Change: Mid market.
Speaker Change: And manufacturing investments.
Speaker Change: 60% of our business in the U S and.
Speaker Change: We're gonna be very present to help bar.
Speaker Change: To help our customers take advantage of that and do that digitally enabled.
Speaker Change: Part of the U S government efficiency programs dose is about becoming more digital.
Speaker Change: And so we got a great presence in D C.
Speaker Change: We're fully represented both on the.
Speaker Change: Government intelligence side, as well as standard agencies, and Ngos as well as the large states in the U S. So I think we're well positioned that as opportunities come along we will be right there.
Speaker Change: The next question is from Richard Tse with National Bank Financial. Please go ahead.
Richard Tse: Oh, yes, thanks for fitting me here through the hours just quickly.
Speaker Change: Can you provide some metrics on how aviators performing.
Speaker Change:
Speaker Change: Look I think the.
Speaker Change: We're not.
Speaker Change: Disclosing specific.
Speaker Change: King's or revenue numbers, there is no doubt that.
Speaker Change: Or.
Speaker Change: Our work fully delivered in titanium X is helping us win.
Speaker Change: The SaaS wins, all have a part of AI.
Speaker Change: Again, I can't emphasize the strategic enterprise global nature of the SaaS wins open take imagine. These two words in the same sentence open text and SaaS.
Speaker Change:
Speaker Change: And what titanium Max we set out on top of him X to to have as part of a SaaS platform.
Speaker Change: <unk> in Q2.
Speaker Change: So all the Munich re frost Capgemini Nestle Lilly Pfizer I, just couldn't be more proud of those wins Moe.
Speaker Change: Most of them have aviator as part of it.
Speaker Change: So so we're not here yet to kind of break out this much of revenue or this much of booking but unequivocally a part of our platform part of our win strategy and part of the actual wins at this point so stay tuned there there'll be more to follow here as we upgraded titanium X.
Speaker Change: There'll be more to talk about on the AI platform.
Speaker Change: Okay, and just a last quick one here for me I. Appreciate you sharing those <unk> metrics I think in the past you've talked about sort of expanding your disclosures and so as you go forward are you going to be looking at disclosing things like net expansion rate and I only ask that because.
Speaker Change: Big part of your strategy here is selling into the base and I think having that metric in terms of understanding how that basis growing would be very helpful. So is that something on the radar here.
Speaker Change: Thank you for the feedback.
Speaker Change: There there is we're going to assess the feedback clearly.
Speaker Change: Clearly, it's not about renewal, it's about expansion over time.
Speaker Change: So thank.
Speaker Change: Thank you for the feedback we'll take it offline and process all the feedback.
Speaker Change: Big disclosure for us as you know.
Speaker Change: It's both a cloud and maintenance, it's current and long term with a big emphasis on cloud CRP O and that increased visibility and so what are the commitments flowing in.
Speaker Change: What are the uncommitted portion and they're all the things we do talked about we disclosed a very simple formula.
Speaker Change: We looked at SAP and Salesforce of how they disclose we have a net renewal rate as well. So a good comment on when you start to talk expansion will take it as a feedback and who will cut all the feedback and then understand what the next set is so thank you for the questions.
Speaker Change: Okay. Thank you.
I'll now hand, the call back over to Mr. Barry for closing remarks.
Speaker Change: Very good thank you for.
Being part of our Q2 call.
Margin was our number one priority post AMC divestiture and with our Q2 and first half performance, we delivered in our new number one priority is growth.
Speaker Change: Second.
We're very excited about the opportunity that titanium exit upgrades will bring us and three we look forward to your continued feedback.
Speaker Change: On our new style of communications and the insights into our business and did you find them helpful and how we can continue to do that.
Speaker Change: Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you at Morgan Stanley.
Speaker Change: And elsewhere. Thank you very much.
