Definitions of the non‑GAAP financial measures used in this press release and reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are included below under the heading "Use and Reconciliation of Non‑GAAP Financial Measures."

"The fourth quarter and full-year 2020 concluded to our general satisfaction, given the enduring pandemic conditions in most of the world. Our overall application usage and new business generation essentially rebounded by year end to pre-pandemic levels, and our growth in ARR and especially recurring revenues underscore our long-term momentum and predictability. The commercial / facilities and industrial / resources sectors remain weaker, but on balance we believe we are well positioned, by our diversification and market-leading emphasis on public works / utilities, for 2021's broadly anticipated infrastructure investment resurgence," said Greg Bentley, CEO.

Mr. Bentley continued, "While we expect that 2020's evident acceleration in "going digital" for infrastructure engineering will continue, our first-ever annual financial outlook naturally reflects conservative assumptions about the timing of cyclical economic recovery. While we are prepared and inclined to invest resolutely in the "generational" opportunity for infrastructure digital twins, our 2021 plans and outlook nevertheless give appropriate precedence to our commitment and ability to steadily improve our sustainable operating margins, indefinitely."

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Developments:

  • In November 2020, Bentley Systems completed its follow‑on public offering of 11.5 million shares of its Class B Common Stock at a price of $32.00 per share (the "Follow-On Offering"). The Company sold 9.6 million shares of Class B Common Stock (inclusive of 1.5 million shares sold upon the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock). The selling stockholders sold 1.9 million shares of Class B Common Stock. The Company received net proceeds of $294.4 million after deducting expenses of $12.9 million. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Class B Common Stock sold by the selling stockholders.
  • For the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported an effective tax rate of 23.7% and 23.0% respectively.

Recent Financial Developments:

  • In January 2021, Bentley Systems entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which matures on November 15, 2025 (the "New Credit Facility"). Upon entry into the New Credit Facility, the Company obtained a $850.0 million senior secured revolving facility and refinanced all indebtedness outstanding under its former Credit Facility.
  • In January 2021, Bentley Systems completed an offering of $690.0 million of 0.125% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). Interest will accrue from January 26, 2021 and will be payable twice a year with the first payment due on July 15, 2021. The Company used $25.5 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes to pay the cost of the capped call transactions and approximately $250.5 million to repay outstanding indebtedness under the former Credit Facility and to pay related fees and expenses. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include funding future acquisitions. The Company may apply all or a portion of the net proceeds for the acquisition of businesses, software solutions, and technologies that the Company believes are complementary to its own, although the Company has no agreements, commitments, or understandings with respect to any specific material acquisition at this time. The Company has not allocated any specific portion of the net proceeds to any particular purpose and its management will have the discretion to allocate the proceeds as it determines. The Company incurred $18.0 million of expenses in connection with the 2026 Notes offering consisting of the payment of underwriting discounts and commissions, professional fees, and other expenses.

2021 Financial Outlook

The Company is providing the following outlook for the year ending December 31, 2021. The 2021 guidance herein is premised on COVID-19 pandemic-related business impacts generally abating gradually by year end, however, the ultimate impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's financial outlook remain uncertain.

  • Total revenues in the range of $895 million to $920 million, representing growth of 11.7% to 14.8%;
  • Constant currency ARR growth rate of 8% to 10%;
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $285 million to $295 million, representing growth of 7.1% to 10.8%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 32%;
  • Its effective tax rate to be approximately 20%.

The Company does not provide quarterly guidance, but will update its full-year financial outlook when announcing quarterly operating results during 2021 to the extent expectations materially change.

The 2021 outlook information provided above includes Constant currency ARR growth rate, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance, which are non-GAAP financial measures management uses in measuring performance. The Company is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of certain items and unanticipated events, including stock-based compensation charges, depreciation and amortization of capitalized software costs and of acquired intangible assets, realignment expenses, and other items, which would be included in GAAP results. The impact of such items and unanticipated events could be potentially significant.

The 2021 outlook is forward-looking, subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and its management, and based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change. Actual results may vary and those variations may be material. As such, the Company's results may not fall within the ranges contained in its outlook. The Company uses these forward-looking measures to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Definitions of Certain Key Business Metrics

Definitions of the non‑GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release and reconciliations of such measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents are included below under "Use and Reconciliation of Non‑GAAP Financial Measures." Certain non‑GAAP measures included in our financial outlook are not being reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. The Company is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non‑GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected for these periods not to impact the non‑GAAP measures, but would impact GAAP measures. Such unavailable information, which could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results, may include stock-based compensation charges, depreciation and amortization of capitalized software costs and of acquired intangible assets, realignment expenses, and other items.

Last twelve-month recurring revenues are calculated as recurring revenues recognized over the preceding twelve-month period. We define recurring revenues as subscription revenues that recur monthly, quarterly, or annually with specific or automatic renewal clauses, and professional services revenues in which the underlying contract is based on a fixed fee and contains automatic annual renewal provisions.

Constant Currency Metrics

In reporting period-over-period results, we calculate the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and constant currency information by translating current period results using prior period average foreign currency exchange rates. Our definition of constant currency may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures, and these constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

  • Our last twelve-month recurring revenues dollar-based net retention rate is calculated, using the average exchange rates for the prior period, as follows: the recurring revenues for the current period, including any growth or reductions from accounts with recurring revenues in the prior period ("existing accounts"), but excluding recurring revenues from any new accounts added during the current period, divided by the total recurring revenues from all accounts during the prior period. A period is defined as any trailing twelve months. The recurring revenues dollar-based net retention rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was calculated under Topic 606 and continues to be presented pursuant to Topic 605 for comparability purposes. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2020, the recurring revenues dollar-based net retention rate was calculated using revenues recognized pursuant to Topic 605 for all periods in order to enhance comparability during our transition to Topic 606 as we did not have all information that was necessary to calculate recurring revenues dollar-based net retention rate pursuant to Topic 606 for earlier periods.
  • Our last twelve-month account retention rate for any given twelve-month period is calculated using the average currency exchange rates for the prior period, as follows: the prior period recurring revenues from all accounts with recurring revenues in the current and prior period, divided by total recurring revenues from all accounts during the prior period. The account retention rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was calculated under Topic 606 and continues to be presented pursuant to Topic 605 for comparability purposes. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2020, the account retention rate was calculated using revenues recognized pursuant to Topic 605 for all periods in order to enhance comparability during our transition to Topic 606 as we did not have all information that was necessary to calculate account retention rate pursuant to Topic 606 for earlier periods.
  • Our Constant currency ARR growth rate is the growth rate of our ARR, measured on a constant currency basis. Our ARR is defined as the sum of the annualized value of our portfolio of contracts that produce recurring revenue as of the last day of the reporting period, and the annualized value of the last three months of recognized revenues for our contractually recurring consumption-based software subscriptions with consumption measurement durations of less than one year.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-plane Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we have calculated adjusted cost of subscriptions and licenses, adjusted cost of services, adjusted research and development, adjusted selling and marketing, adjusted general and administrative, adjusted income from operations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, each of which are non‑GAAP financial measures. We have provided tabular reconciliations of each of these non‑GAAP financial measures to such measure's most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Management uses these non‑GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate financial performance and liquidity. Our non‑GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosure as we believe they provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results, prospects, and liquidity period-over-period without the impact of certain items that do not directly correlate to our operating performance and that may vary significantly from period to period for reasons unrelated to our operating performance, as well as to compare our financial results to those of other companies. Our definitions of these non‑GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, our non‑GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K to be filed with the SEC.

We calculate these non‑GAAP financial measures as follows:

  • Adjusted cost of subscriptions and licenses is determined by adding back to GAAP cost of subscriptions and licenses, amortization of purchased intangibles and developed technologies, stock-based compensation, and realignment expenses, for the respective periods;
  • Adjusted cost of services is determined by adding back to GAAP cost of services, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, and realignment expenses, for the respective periods;
  • Adjusted research and development is determined by adding back to GAAP research and development, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, and realignment expenses, for the respective periods;
  • Adjusted selling and marketing is determined by adding back to GAAP selling and marketing, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, and realignment expenses, for the respective periods;
  • Adjusted general and administrative is determined by adding back to GAAP general and administrative, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, and realignment expenses, for the respective periods;
  • Adjusted income from operations is determined by adding back to GAAP operating income, amortization of purchased intangibles and developed technologies, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, realignment expenses, and expenses associated with IPO for the respective periods;
  • Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles and developed technologies, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, realignment expenses, expenses associated with IPO, other non-operating income and expense (primarily foreign exchange gain (loss)), net, the tax effect of the above adjustments to net income, and loss from investment accounted for using the equity method, net of tax. The tax effect of adjustments to net income is based on the estimated marginal effective tax rates in the jurisdictions impacted by such adjustments;
  • Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is determined by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding;
  • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, realignment expenses, expenses associated with IPO, other non-operating income and expense (primarily foreign exchange gain (loss)), net, and loss from investment accounted for using the equity method, net of tax;
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.

We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non‑GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the related GAAP financial measures.
