The company also noted a significant reduction in cash and cash equivalents, which fell to $148.7 million from $337.1 million at the end of 2024, primarily due to the repayment of convertible senior notes.

Looking ahead, Pegasystems expressed optimism about its growth trajectory, supported by a robust pipeline of contracts and a focus on expanding its cloud offerings. The company anticipates continued revenue growth driven by increased demand for its software solutions, particularly in the public sector and among Global 2000 organizations. However, it acknowledged potential risks related to market conditions, client retention, and ongoing litigation matters that could impact future performance.
