OpenText Corporation reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, revealing a total revenue of $1.283 billion, a 2.2% increase from $1.254 billion in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by a 6.6% rise in cloud services and subscriptions revenue, which reached $492.9 million, compared to $462.6 million in the prior year. The company also noted a significant increase in net income attributable to OpenText, which rose to $172.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, up from $92.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the previous year.
In terms of operational metrics, OpenText's annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased by 2.7% to $1.058 billion, while adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was reported at $437.9 million, compared to $395.3 million in the prior year. The company’s gross margin improved to 73.1%, up from 71.6% in the same quarter last year, reflecting better cost management and operational efficiencies. The total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, stood at $1.254 billion, an increase from $1.156 billion at the end of the previous fiscal year.
OpenText also highlighted strategic developments, including the proposed divestiture of its Vertica business to Rocket Software for $150 million, which is expected to close in fiscal 2026. This follows the successful divestiture of its eDOCS business to NetDocuments for $163 million in January 2026. The proceeds from these divestitures are intended to be used to reduce outstanding debt, with the eDOCS sale resulting in a gain of $64.3 million recorded in other income.
The company’s workforce as of March 31, 2026, comprised approximately 20,500 employees, with a notable reduction in research and development personnel, which decreased by 759 employees compared to the previous year. OpenText's focus on operational excellence is evident in its Business Optimization Plan, which aims to generate annualized savings of approximately $490 million to $550 million, with 35% of these savings already realized.
Looking ahead, OpenText has updated its fiscal 2026 outlook, projecting total revenue growth of 1% to 2% and cloud services and subscriptions revenue growth of 4% to 5%. The company anticipates an adjusted EBITDA margin improvement of 50 to 100 basis points and free cash flow growth of 22% to 25%. These projections reflect the company's commitment to enhancing its core Information Management capabilities and optimizing its capital allocation strategies.
