EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q is for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q modifies and supersedes documents filed before it. The United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you directly to those documents. Information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. In addition, information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

Unless indicated otherwise, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, we refer to Bentley Systems, Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries, as “Bentley Systems,” “Bentley,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our.”

This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q contains trademarks, service marks, brands, or product names owned by us, as well as those owned by others.

Numerical information in this report is presented on a rounded basis using actual amounts. Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q includes forward‑looking statements. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy, and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward‑looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “seeks,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions, as well as statements regarding our focus for the future, are intended to identify forward‑looking statements. We have based these forward‑looking statements largely on our current expectations, projections, and assumptions about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short‑term and long‑term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward‑looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward‑looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward‑looking statements. The forward‑looking statements, as well as our Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties.

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward‑looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q in greater detail in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. You should not rely upon forward‑looking statements as predictions of future events.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward‑looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, events, or circumstances reflected in the forward‑looking statements will occur. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any of these forward‑looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars, and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33‑11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate‑Related Disclosures for Investors. The final rule requires registrants to disclose certain climate‑related information in registration statements and annual reports. The final rule disclosure requirements will begin phasing in prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. Subsequent to issuance, the final rule became the subject of litigation and the SEC issued a stay to allow the legal process to proceed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rule on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑09”), which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023‑09 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑09 on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023‑07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑07”), which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023‑07 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

The provisional amounts are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified from the date of the acquisition as more information is obtained about the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however, such measurement period cannot exceed one year.

BSY Stock Repurchase Program

In May 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the BSY Stock Repurchase Program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $200,000 of the Company’s Class B common stock through June 30, 2024. In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Repurchase Program to allow the Company also to repurchase its outstanding convertible senior notes. This additional authorization did not increase the overall dollar limit of the Repurchase Program. The Company’s authorization under the Repurchase Program approved May 2022 expired on June 30, 2024. In March 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an extension to the Repurchase Program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $200,000 of the Company’s Class B common stock and/or convertible senior notes from June 30, 2024 through June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2024, $200,000 was available under the Company’s Board of Directors authorization for future repurchases of Class B common stock and/or outstanding convertible senior notes under the Repurchase Program.

The shares and convertible senior notes proposed to be acquired in the Repurchase Program may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The Company intends to fund repurchases from available working capital and cash provided by operating activities. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares and/or convertible senior notes repurchased under the Repurchase Program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management’s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company’s shares, the market price of the Company’s Class B common stock and outstanding convertible senior notes, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company’s debt and other agreements, and applicable legal requirements. The exact number of shares and/or convertible senior notes to be repurchased by the Company is not guaranteed, and the Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 729,681 shares for $37,515 under the Repurchase Program. The Company did not repurchase shares under the Repurchase Program for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Stock‑based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Specifically for performance‑based RSUs, stock‑based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards expected to vest at each reporting date. The Company accounts for forfeitures of equity awards as those forfeitures occur.

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The 2020 Plan provides for the granting of stock, stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and other stock‑based or performance‑based awards to certain directors, officers, colleagues, consultants, and advisors of the Company, and terminates in September 2030. The 2020 Plan provides that 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock may be issued for equity awards. Equity awards that are expired, canceled, forfeited, or terminated for any reason will be available for future grant under the 2020 Plan. As of June 30, 2024, equity awards available for future grants under the 2020 Plan were 20,033,122.

Restricted Stock and RSUs

Under the equity incentive plans, the Company may grant both time‑based and performance‑based shares of restricted Class B common stock and RSUs to eligible colleagues. Time‑based awards generally vest ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Performance‑based awards vesting is determined by the achievement of certain business growth targets, which include growth in annualized recurring revenues (“ARR”), as well as actual bookings for perpetual licenses and non‑recurring services. Performance targets are generally set for performance periods of one year to three years.

The following is a summary of unvested restricted stock and RSU activity and related information under the Company’s applicable equity incentive plans:

For each year of the Performance Period, one‑third of the performance‑based RSUs will be subject to a cliff, whereby no vesting of that portion will occur unless the Company’s applicable margin metrics (which, for 2022 was Adjusted EBITDA margin, and for 2023 was and 2024 will be Adjusted OI w/SBC margin, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations) also equals or exceeds the relevant target level for such year. Provided that the applicable margin targets are met, the total number of performance‑based RSUs that will vest is determined by the achievement of growth targets, which include growth in ARR, as well as actual bookings for perpetual licenses and non‑recurring services. Final actual vesting will be determined on January 31, 2025. The 2023 Adjusted OI w/SBC margin target, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, and the 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin target for the performance‑based RSUs were met.

The weighted average grant date fair values of RSUs granted were $50.66 and $40.80, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 16: Income Taxes

The following is a summary of Income before income taxes, Provision (benefit) for income taxes, and effective tax rate for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Income before income taxes	$	77,357		$	44,786		$	169,905		$	99,768

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was higher compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the impact of the decrease in discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year period. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $18,543 and $20,394, respectively, and $20,681 and $27,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily associated with windfall tax benefits from stock‑based compensation, net of the impact from officer compensation limitation provisions.

Note 17: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A financial asset or liability classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, account receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accruals, certain other current and long‑term liabilities, and long‑term debt.

Current Assets and Current Liabilities — In general, the carrying amounts reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short‑term nature of those instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements for Level 2 financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Interest Rate Swap — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap asset or liability is determined using an income approach and is measured based on the implied forward rates for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Debt — The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facility approximated its carrying value based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates for instruments with similar remaining terms. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes was $680,484 and $514,729, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes was $684,205 and $516,051, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes is based on quoted market prices of the Company’s instrument in markets that are not active and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret the market data and develop estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold, or settled.

Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities — The fair value of deferred compensation plan liabilities, including the liability classified phantom investments in the DCP, are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.

Financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis consist of the following:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred realignment costs of $843 and $867, respectively, related to the aforementioned program. The 2023 Program activities have been broadly implemented across the Company’s various businesses, which were substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2024. The Company expects the remaining termination benefits to be paid by the end of the third quarter of 2024.

Realignment costs by expense classification were as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended

Note 22: Net Income Per Share

The Company issues certain performance-based RSUs determined to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of the Company’s declaration of a dividend for common shares. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were 356,167 and 368,283 participating securities outstanding, respectively.

Undistributed net income allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income in determining basic net income attributable to common stockholders. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing basic net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares, inclusive of undistributed shares held in the DCP as phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.

For the Company’s diluted net income per share numerator, interest expense, net of tax, attributable to the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes is added back to basic net income attributable to common stockholders. For the Company’s diluted net income per share denominator, the basic weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans and ESPP, and for the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing diluted net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of fully diluted common shares.

Except with respect to voting and conversion, the rights of the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and the Company’s Class B common stock are identical. Each class of shares has the same rights to dividends and allocation of income (loss) and, therefore, net income per share would not differ under the two‑class method.

The details of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:

Results of Operations:

Impact of Foreign Currency

Our results of operations have been, and in the future will be, affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Other than the natural hedge attributable to matching revenues and expenses in the same currencies, we do not currently hedge foreign currency exposure.

We identify the effects of foreign currency on our operations and present constant currency growth rates and fluctuations because we believe exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period‑over‑period comparisons and enhance the understanding of our results and evaluation of our performance. Refer to the “Non‑GAAP Financial Measures” section for additional information, including our definition and our use of constant currency.

(1)Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for additional information, including our definition and our use of constant currency, and for a reconciliation of constant currency growth rates.

The increase in total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by an increase in subscriptions revenues, partially offset by a decrease in services revenues, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in perpetual licenses revenues.

Subscriptions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in subscriptions revenues was driven by improvements in our business performance of $38,201 ($39,609 on a constant currency basis) and $67,445 ($68,234 on a constant currency basis), respectively. Our business performance excludes the impact of our platform acquisitions and includes the impact from programmatic acquisitions, which generally are immaterial, individually and in the aggregate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the improvements in business performance were primarily driven by expansion from accounts with revenues in the same period in the prior year (“existing accounts”), and growth of 3% attributable to new accounts, most notably small- and medium-sized accounts. Improvements in business performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were led by our engineering applications, geoprofessional applications, and our Bentley Infrastructure Cloud for project delivery.

Perpetual licenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in perpetual licenses revenues was driven by a decline in business performance of $855 ($715 on a constant currency basis) and $890 ($642 on a constant currency basis), respectively.

Services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in services revenues was driven by a decline in our business performance of $3,758 ($3,681 on a constant currency basis) and $9,615 ($9,745 on a constant currency basis), respectively, driven primarily from weakness in Maximo-related work within our digital integrator, Cohesive.

Americas. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in revenues from the Americas was primarily driven by improvements in our business performance of $17,474 ($18,012 on a constant currency basis) and $33,322 ($33,489 on a constant currency basis), respectively.

The improvements in business performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to expansion of our subscriptions revenues from existing accounts in the U.S, partially offset by a decline in services revenues.

EMEA. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in revenues from EMEA was primarily driven by improvements in our business performance of $12,421 ($12,631 on a constant currency basis) and $14,303 ($13,058 on a constant currency basis), respectively.

The improvements in business performance for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to expansion of our subscriptions revenues from existing accounts in the U.K. and the Middle East, partially offset by a decline in services revenues.

The improvements in business performance for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to expansion of our subscriptions revenues from existing accounts in the U.K., the Middle East, and Central Europe, partially offset by a decline in services revenues.

APAC. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in revenues from APAC was primarily driven by improvements in our business performance of $3,693 ($4,570 on a constant currency basis) and $9,315 ($11,300 on a constant currency basis), respectively.

The improvements in business performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to expansion of our subscriptions revenues from existing accounts in Australia, India, and Southeast Asia, partially offset by declines of our subscriptions revenues from existing accounts in China.

Total revenues in China for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a decline in subscriptions revenues, partially offset by the expansion of our perpetual licenses revenues. The future results in China remain uncertain as a result of continued geopolitical challenges, the obstacles there to cloud‑deployed software, and the financial timing impact of the preference there for license sales, rather than subscriptions.

Cost of subscriptions and licenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, cost of subscriptions and licenses increased primarily due to an increase in cloud‑related costs of $2,286, partially offset by a decrease in headcount‑related costs of $830, mainly due to a decrease in stock‑based compensation expense, partially offset by realignment expenses related to the 2023 Program.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, cost of subscriptions and licenses increased primarily due to an increase in cloud‑related costs of $3,363. Partially offsetting the increase in cloud‑related costs were lower amortization of capitalized costs under our Accelerated Commercial Development Program of $1,330 as compared to the same period in the prior year and a decrease in headcount‑related costs of $1,120, mainly due to a decrease in stock‑based compensation expense, partially offset by realignment expenses related to the 2023 Program.

Cost of services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, cost of services decreased primarily due to a decrease in headcount‑related costs of $4,439 and $9,434, respectively, mainly due to a reduction in third‑party personnel costs.

Research and development. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, research and development expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in headcount‑related costs of $3,533 and $3,279, respectively, mainly due to lower separation costs and lower acquisition‑related retention incentives. Additionally for the three months ended June 30, 2024, headcount‑related costs further decreased due to the timing of employment taxes related to the vesting of certain awards associated with our equity incentive plans.

Selling and marketing. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, selling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to an increase in headcount‑related costs of $2,974, mainly due to an increase in third‑party personnel costs and higher travel‑related costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, selling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to an increase in headcount‑related costs of $6,364, mainly due to an increase in annual and other compensation costs, and an increase in third‑party personnel costs.

General and administrative. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in headcount‑related costs of $7,424, mainly due to an increase in stock‑based compensation expense, and to a lesser extent, an increase in annual and other compensation costs, as well as increased expense associated with non‑income related taxes of $4,059. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $2,200 of other corporate initiatives expenses, as well as approximately $2,000 of costs associated with our internal‑use system implementations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in headcount‑related costs of $6,884, mainly due to an increase in stock‑based compensation expense, and to a lesser extent, an increase in annual and other compensation costs, as well as increased expense associated with non‑income related taxes of $4,317. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $3,500 of costs associated with our internal‑use system implementations, as well as approximately $2,200 of other corporate initiatives expenses. Partially offsetting these increases were lower acquisition costs of $4,964 and income of $1,940 recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the continued wind down of our Russian entities since we exited operations beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

Deferred compensation plan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, deferred compensation plan expense was attributable to the marked to market impact on deferred compensation plan liability balances period over period.

Amortization of purchased intangibles. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, on a constant currency basis, amortization of purchased intangibles decreased primarily due to previously acquired intangible assets that continue to become fully amortized and lower acquisition activity as compared to prior periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was higher compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the impact of the decrease in discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year period. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded discrete tax benefits of $18,543 and $20,394, respectively, and $20,681 and $27,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily associated with windfall tax benefits from stock‑based compensation, net of the impact from officer compensation limitation provisions.

Key Business Metrics:

In addition to our results of operations discussed above, we believe the following presentation of key business metrics provides additional useful information to investors regarding our results of operations. To the extent material, we disclose below the additional purposes, if any, for which our management uses these key business metrics. Our key business metrics may vary significantly from period to period for reasons unrelated to our operating performance and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

(1)Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for additional information, including our definition and our use of constant currency.

Recurring Revenues

Recurring revenues are the basis for our other revenue-related key business metrics. We believe this measure is useful in evaluating our ability to consistently retain and grow our revenues within our existing accounts.

Recurring revenues are subscriptions 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.

ARR

ARR is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating the scale and growth of our business as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. Furthermore, we believe ARR, considered in connection with our last twelve‑month recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rate, is a leading indicator of revenue growth.

ARR is defined as the sum of the annualized value of our portfolio of contracts that produce recurring revenues 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, calculated using the spot foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that the last three months of recognized revenues, on an annualized basis, for our recurring software subscriptions with consumption measurement period durations of less than one year is a reasonable estimate of the annual revenues, given our consistently high retention rate and stability of usage under such subscriptions.

ARR resulting from the annualization of recurring contracts with consumption measurement durations of less than one year, as a percentage of total ARR, was 49% and 45% as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with our E365 subscription offering representing 43% and 38% of total ARR as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Constant currency ARR growth rate is the growth rate of ARR measured on a constant currency basis. In reporting period‑over‑period ARR growth rates in constant currency, we calculate constant currency growth rates by translating current and prior period ARR on a transactional basis to our reporting currency using current year budget exchange rates. We believe that ARR growth is an important metric indicating the scale and growth of our business.

Last twelve‑month recurring revenues is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating our ability to consistently retain and grow our recurring revenues. We believe that we will continue to experience favorable growth in recurring revenues primarily due to our strong account retention and recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rates, as well as the addition of new accounts with recurring revenues.

Last twelve‑months recurring revenues is calculated as recurring revenues recognized over the preceding twelve‑month period.

The last twelve‑months recurring revenues for the periods ended June 30, 2024 compared to the last twelve‑months of the comparative twelve‑month period increased by $120,908. This increase was primarily due to growth in ARR, which is primarily the result of growing our recurring revenues within our existing accounts as expressed in our recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rate, as well as additional recurring revenues resulting from new accounts and acquisitions. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 90% and 89%, respectively, of our revenues were recurring revenues.

Account Retention Rate

Account retention rate is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating the long‑term value of our account relationships and our ability to retain our account base. We believe that our consistent and high account retention rates illustrate our ability to retain and cultivate long‑term relationships with our accounts.

Account retention rate for any given twelve-month period is calculated using the average foreign 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.

Recurring Revenues Dollar‑Based Net Retention Rate

Recurring revenues dollar‑based net retention rate is a key business metric that we believe is useful in evaluating our ability to consistently retain and grow our recurring revenues.

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 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. Related to our platform acquisitions, recurring revenues into new accounts will be captured as existing accounts starting with the second anniversary of the acquisition when such data conforms to the calculation methodology. This may cause variability in the comparison.

Given that recurring revenues represented 90% and 89% of our total revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, this metric helps explain our revenue performance as primarily growth from existing accounts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP discussed above, we believe the following presentation of financial measures not in accordance with GAAP provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations. To the extent material, we disclose below the additional purposes, if any, for which our management uses these non‑GAAP financial measures and provide reconciliations between these non‑GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non‑GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, including operating income, or other measures of performance. Our non‑GAAP financial measures may vary significantly from period to period for reasons unrelated to our operating performance and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted OI w/SBC

Adjusted OI w/SBC is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used to measure the operational strength and performance of our business, as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business.

Adjusted OI w/SBC is our primary performance measure, which excludes certain expenses and charges, including the non-cash amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of intangible assets, as we believe these may not be indicative of our core business operating results. We intentionally include stock-based compensation expense in this measure as we believe it better captures the economic costs of our business.

Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, to evaluate financial performance, and in our comparison of our financial results to those of other companies. It is also a significant performance measure in certain of our executive incentive compensation programs.

Adjusted OI w/SBC is defined as operating income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses, and realignment expenses (income), for the respective periods.

Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors in making comparisons to other companies, although this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses, realignment expenses (income), and stock‑based compensation expense, for the respective periods.

Adjusted operating income	$	117,149	$	90,927	$	248,831	$	200,589

Further explanation of certain of our adjustments in arriving at Adjusted OI w/SBC and Adjusted operating income are as follows:

(1)Amortization of purchased intangibles. Amortization of purchased intangibles varies in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Management finds it useful to exclude these non‑cash charges from our operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning, and forecasting future periods. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will also contribute to our revenues in future periods. Amortization of purchased intangible assets will recur in future periods.

(2)Deferred compensation plan. We exclude Deferred compensation plan expense (income) when we evaluate our continuing operational performance because it is not reflective of our ongoing business and results of operation. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of this item on our total operating expenses. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the liabilities recorded as an expense (income) to Deferred compensation plan in the consolidated statements of operations.

(3)Acquisition expenses. We incur expenses for professional services rendered in connection with business combinations, which are included in our GAAP presentation of general and administrative expense (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q). Also included in our acquisition expenses are retention incentives paid to executives of the acquired companies. We exclude these acquisition expenses when we evaluate our continuing operational performance as we would not have otherwise incurred these expenses in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations.

(4)Realignment expenses (income). We exclude these charges and subsequent adjustments to our estimates when we evaluate our continuing operational performance because they are not reflective of our ongoing business and results of operations. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Realignment expenses were primarily associated with the 2023 Program. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Realignment expenses (income) was associated with the continued wind down of our Russian entities since we exited operations beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

(5)Stock‑based compensation expense. We exclude non-cash stock‑based compensation expenses from certain of our non‑GAAP measures because we believe this is useful to investors in making comparisons to other companies.

Constant Currency

Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures that present our results of operations excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A significant amount of our operations is conducted in foreign currencies. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use constant currency and constant currency growth rates to evaluate the underlying performance of the business, and we believe it is helpful for investors to present operating results on a comparable basis period over period to evaluate its underlying performance.

In reporting period‑over‑period results, except for ARR as discussed above in “Key Business Metrics” section, we calculate the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and constant currency information by translating current and prior period results on a transactional basis to our reporting currency using prior period average foreign currency exchange rates in which the transactions occurred.

Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries	48,031		64,719
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	51,278	$	68,412

Our primary source of operating cash is from the sale of our subscriptions, perpetual licenses, and services. Our primary use of cash is payment of our operating costs, which consist mainly of headcount‑related costs. In addition to operating expenses, we also use cash to service our debt obligations, to pay quarterly dividends, to repurchase our Class B common stock and convertible debt, and for capital expenditures in support of our operations. We also use cash to fund our acquisitions of software assets and businesses, and other investment activities.

We believe that cash generated from operations, together with existing cash and cash equivalent balances, and external borrowings including available liquidity under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and international working capital and capital expenditure requirements. We regularly review our capital structure and consider a variety of potential financing alternatives and planning strategies to ensure that we have the proper liquidity available in the locations in which it is needed and to fund our operations and growth investments with cash that has not been permanently reinvested outside the U.S. Our future capital requirements may be materially different than those currently planned in our budgeting and forecasting activities and depend on many factors, including our strategy of regularly acquiring and integrating specialized infrastructure engineering software businesses, our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products, competitive factors, our discretionary payments of dividends or repurchases of our Class B common stock and convertible debt, fund of our purchase commitments, currency fluctuations, and overall economic conditions, globally. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, while the incurrence of additional debt financing, including convertible debt, would result in additional debt service obligations. Such debt instruments also could introduce new or modified covenants that might restrict our operations and/or our ability to pay dividends, consummate acquisitions, or otherwise pursue our business strategies. We cannot provide assurance that we could obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all.

Cash Flows Activity

Investing activities	(10,946)		(29,752)
Financing activities	(270,999)		(215,976)

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, net cash provided by operating activities was higher by $10,736 due to an increase in net income of $48,181 and a net increase in non‑cash adjustments of $30,075, partially offset by a decrease in net cash flows from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $67,520. The decrease in cash flows from the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to the timing of collections on our receivables, the overall timing of tax payments period over period, and a decrease in deferred revenues.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was lower by $18,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower purchases of investments of $7,643, lower acquisition related payments of $5,299, and lower purchases of property and equipment and investment in capitalized software of $4,564.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was higher by $55,023 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher net paydowns of the Credit Facility of $50,176, including higher repayments of our term loan borrowings, and higher dividend payments of $6,627, primarily due to an increase in our quarterly dividend per share to $0.06 in 2024 from $0.05 in 2023. Refer to the sections titled “Long‑Term Debt” and “Stock Repurchases” below for further details.

Long-Term Debt


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Current portion of long-term debt	$	—	$	10,000
Long-term debt	1,334,618		1,518,403
Total debt	$	1,334,618	$	1,528,403

As of June 30, 2024, we had $849,850 available under the Credit Facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we made repayments of $102,500 on the senior secured term loan under the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the senior secured term loan, repayments are applied to unpaid quarterly principal installments. There are no remaining required principal installments on the senior secured term loan through the maturity date of November 15, 2025. We were in compliance with all covenants in its Credit Facility, the 2026 Notes, and the 2027 Notes as of June 30, 2024. Any failure to comply with such covenants under the Credit Facility would prevent us from being able to borrow additional funds under the Credit Facility, and, as with any failure to comply with such covenants under the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes, could constitute a default that may cause all amounts outstanding to become due and immediately payable in full.

Stock Repurchases

BSY Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $200,000 of our Class B common stock and/or outstanding convertible senior notes through June 30, 2024 under the Repurchase Program. This authorization under the Repurchase Program expired on June 30, 2024. In March 2024, our Board of Directors approved an extension to the Repurchase Program authorizing us to repurchase up to $200,000 of our Class B common stock and/or convertible senior notes from June 30, 2024 through June 30, 2026. We may use available working capital and cash provided by operations to make repurchases.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 729,681 shares for $37,515 under the Repurchase Program. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not repurchase shares under the Repurchase Program.

The timing, as well as the number and value of shares and/or convertible senior notes repurchased under the Repurchase Program, will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value of our shares, the market price of our Class B common stock and outstanding convertible senior notes, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with our debt and other agreements, and applicable legal requirements.

Withholding Taxes on Certain Equity Awards

We have the right to require that certain equity awardees receive gross or net quantities of shares of our Class B common stock, including distributions from the DCP and share issuances under our Bonus Plan. In the case of a gross issuance or distribution, an awardee is required to reimburse promptly to us the cash required for his or her tax withholding amounts. Conversely, under a net issuance or distribution, shares are withheld in consideration of remitting withholding taxes on behalf of an equity awardee, thereby requiring us to remit cash for the tax withholdings. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we exercised our right to require that impacted equity awardees receive gross quantities of our Class B common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we allowed impacted awardees the option to receive net quantities of shares of our Class B common stock. We will continue to evaluate whether share awards will be required to be received by awardees on a gross basis, or if net settlement may be elected by awardees.

Dividend Payments

The declaration and payment of dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We paid quarterly dividends of $0.06 per share of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.05 per share of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023. While we intend to continue paying quarterly dividends, any future determination will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent on a number of factors, including our results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions under Delaware law, and overall financial condition, as well as any other factors our Board of Directors considers relevant. In addition, the terms of the agreement governing the Credit Facility limit the amount of dividends we can pay.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk exposure as described in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Bentley Systems, Incorporated have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a or 15d of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject from time to time to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of pending matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently believe that we do not have any material litigation pending against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities

From April 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, we issued 1,936,318 shares of our Class B common stock in connection with distributions from our DCP.

None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. Unless otherwise stated, the sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us. The issuance of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars, and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33‑11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate‑Related Disclosures for Investors. The final rule requires registrants to disclose certain climate‑related information in registration statements and annual reports. The final rule disclosure requirements will begin phasing in prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. Subsequent to issuance, the final rule became the subject of litigation and the SEC issued a stay to allow the legal process to proceed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rule on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑09”), which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023‑09 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑09 on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023‑07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑07”), which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023‑07 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑07 on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

As of the date of adoption, Mr. Cumins is the sole participant in the Career Stock Program.

Any such awards, if made, would thereafter cliff vest five years following the end of the Performance Year and would otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Plan. As of June 30, 2024, the Committee has not yet made any awards to Mr. Cumins with respect to the Career Stock Program.

Basis of Presentation (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars, and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements.
Consolidation	These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33‑11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate‑Related Disclosures for Investors. The final rule requires registrants to disclose certain climate‑related information in registration statements and annual reports. The final rule disclosure requirements will begin phasing in prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. Subsequent to issuance, the final rule became the subject of litigation and the SEC issued a stay to allow the legal process to proceed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rule on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑09”), which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023‑09 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑09 on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023‑07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑07”), which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023‑07 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑07 on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
Fair Value Measurements	A financial asset or liability classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, account receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accruals, certain other current and long‑term liabilities, and long‑term debt. Current Assets and Current Liabilities — In general, the carrying amounts reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short‑term nature of those instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements for Level 2 financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Interest Rate Swap — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap asset or liability is determined using an income approach and is measured based on the implied forward rates for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Long-Term Debt — The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facility approximated its carrying value based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates for instruments with similar remaining terms.he estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes is based on quoted market prices of the Company’s instrument in markets that are not active and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret the market data and develop estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold, or settled. Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities — The fair value of deferred compensation plan liabilities, including the liability classified phantom investments in the DCP, are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.
