Aspen Technology Announces Financial Results for the
First Quarter of Fiscal 2025
Bedford, Mass. – November 4, 2024 - Aspen Technology, Inc. (“AspenTech” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AZPN), a global leader in industrial software, today announced financial results for its first quarter in fiscal 2025, ended September 30, 2024.
Antonio Pietri, President and Chief Executive Officer of AspenTech, commented, “AspenTech continues to perform well amid ongoing macro uncertainty, delivering solid results to start fiscal 2025. We continue to see strong customer demand for our products and solutions to support their operational excellence and sustainability initiatives. The resilience of our ACV growth is a great indication of the mission-criticality of AspenTech’s technology to our customers.”
Pietri continued, “At our recent investor day, we laid out a compelling strategy that underscored how we believe AspenTech is poised to benefit from global investments in decarbonization, electrification, and the transition to a new energy system. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to deliver consistent high-single to double-digit ACV growth while meaningfully expanding our ACV margin to our Target Operating Model of 45-47% in the coming years. Today’s announcement of our anticipated acquisition of Open Grid Systems is in support of the strategy outlined and expands our suite of products and solutions for the utilities industry.”
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 and Recent Business Highlights    
•Annual contract value1 (“ACV”) was $941.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, increasing 9.4% year over year and 0.9% quarter over quarter.
•Cash flow used in operations was $4.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Free cash flow was negative $6.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is presented in the financial tables included in this press release.
•AspenTech announced today in a separate press release that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Open Grid Systems Limited (“Open Grid Systems”), a global provider of network model management technology and a pioneer in developing model-driven applications supporting open access to data through industry standards. This acquisition will further enhance AspenTech’s Digital Grid Management (“DGM”) suite to support utilities in effectively managing grid complexity while also ensuring resiliency.
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results Summary
AspenTech’s total revenue was $215.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $249.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Total revenue in the period included license and solutions revenue of $101.7 million, compared to $148.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, maintenance revenue of $90.7 million, compared to $85.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and services and other revenue of $23.5 million, compared to $15.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Bookings2 was $151.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $211.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year differences related to bookings and total revenue were in line with the Company’s expectations and driven by the timing of contract renewals and a higher concentration of attrition in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 relative to the full fiscal year.


Loss from operations was $96.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to a loss of $60.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Non-GAAP income from operations was $48.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $77.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Net loss was $60.5 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $34.5 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Non-GAAP net income was $53.9 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $74.9 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
AspenTech had cash and cash equivalents of $221.1 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $237.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during this period was primarily due to the impact of share repurchase activity under the Company’s fiscal 2025 share repurchase authorization (the “Fiscal 2025 Share Repurchase Authorization”). Under its revolving credit facility, AspenTech had no borrowings and $194.5 million available as of September 30, 2024.
Cash flow used in operations was $4.4 million and free cash flow was negative $6.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to cash flow from operations of $17.0 million and free cash flow of $16.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year differences in operating cash flow and free cash flow were due to one-time charges related to the Company’s workforce reduction and Russia exit as well as the timing of collections in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Recent Developments
Open Grid Systems Acquisition
AspenTech today announced in a separate press release that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Open Grid Systems. With this acquisition, AspenTech’s DGM suite will offer utilities a comprehensive, fully integrated network model management solution to address the acceleration of new grid assets, such as renewable generation, with increased flexibility to manage and scale network model data both inside and outside the control room. Open Grid Systems has a long history of participation in International Electrotechnical Commission (“IEC”) standards groups and collaborating with experts around the world to develop and promote the adoption of standards throughout the electrical industry. The transaction is subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Fiscal 2025 Share Repurchase Authorization Update
AspenTech repurchased 92,819 shares for approximately $20.5 million under the Company’s Fiscal 2025 Share Repurchase Authorization during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The total value remaining under this authorization was approximately $79.5 million as of September 30, 2024.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, AspenTech’s guidance for fiscal 2025, the completion of the Fiscal 2025 Share Repurchase Authorization and the completion and timing of the announced acquisition. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “strategy,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “opportunity” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the SEC. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release.
Management considers both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in managing AspenTech’s business. As the result of adoption of new licensing models, management believes that a number of AspenTech’s performance indicators based on GAAP, including revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income, should be viewed in conjunction with certain non-GAAP and other business measures in assessing AspenTech’s performance, growth and financial condition. Accordingly, management utilizes a number of non-GAAP and other business metrics, including the non-GAAP metrics set forth in this press release, to track AspenTech’s business performance.
