AspenTech’s total revenue was $303.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $257.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Total revenue in the period included license and solutions revenue of $188.2 million, compared to $152.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, maintenance revenue of $90.6 million, compared to $85.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and services and other revenue of $24.7 million, compared to $19.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Non-GAAP income from operations was $149.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $88.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements related to the Company, Emerson and the proposed acquisition by Emerson of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company that Emerson does not already own (the “Transaction”), which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include any statements containing the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “goal,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements reflect current beliefs and expectations; however, these statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including with respect to consummating the Transaction and any competing offers or acquisition proposals for the Company, uncertainties as to how many of the Company’s stockholders will tender their stock in the tender offer, the effects of the Transaction (or the announcement thereof) on the Company’s stock price, relationships with key third parties or governmental entities, transaction costs, risks that the Transaction disrupts current plans and operations or adversely affects employee retention, potentially diverting management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations, changes in the Company’s business during the period between announcement and closing of the Transaction, and any legal proceedings that may be instituted related to the Transaction. Actual results could differ materially due to various factors, risks and uncertainties. Among other things, there can be no guarantee that the Transaction will be completed in the anticipated timeframe or at all, that the conditions required to complete the Transaction will be met, that any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreement for the Transaction will not occur or that Emerson will realize the expected benefits of the Transaction; and other risks listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as well as the Schedule 14D-9 and Schedule 13E-3 that may be filed by the Company and the Schedule TO and related tender offer documents that may be filed by Emerson.

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.
