OpenText raises Cloud Booking outlook to 25%-30% growth in 2024

“OpenText demonstrated remarkable performance in the second quarter achieving record total revenues of $1.535 billion, up 71% year-over-year,” said Mark J. Barrenechea, OpenText CEO & CTO. “Driven by increased cloud demand, we saw record quarterly enterprise cloud bookings of $236 million, up 63% year-over year, led by continued strong enterprise content, Micro Focus cloud contribution and customers beginning their AI journey. With continued strength in our enterprise cloud businesses and our new Aviator (TM) AI products, we are raising our Cloud Booking outlook to 25% to 30% growth this year.” Barrenechea further added: “In November 2023, we announced our intention to divest the AMC business. This divestiture positions us to focus on higher-growth opportunities within Information Management such as Cloud and AI and we remain on track to closing the transaction in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.” “I am pleased with OpenText’s solid business execution in Q2,” said Madhu Ranganathan, OpenText EVP, CFO. “We delivered $566 million of adjusted EBITDA, up 66% year-over-year and free cash flows of $305 million, up 87% year-over-year. Our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong with approximately $1 billion in cash as of December 31, 2023. We remain on track to grow Micro Focus organically and bring Micro Focus on to the OpenText operating model by the end of this fiscal year.”
