Notes

(1)    All dollar amounts in this press release are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated.

(2)    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Non-GAAP). These Non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus the Company's definition may be different from similar Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. Thus it may be more difficult to compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results.

The Company uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the information provided in its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despite these limitations, it is appropriate to supplement the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP measures with certain Non-GAAP measures defined below.

Non-GAAP-based net income and Non-GAAP-based EPS, attributable to OpenText, are consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income or earnings per share, attributable to OpenText, on a diluted basis, excluding the effects of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and special charges (recoveries), all net of tax and any tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income, as further described in the tables below. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets and share-based compensation within cost of sales. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as GAAP-based income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges (recoveries), and share-based compensation expense.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income, attributable to OpenText, excluding interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation and special charges (recoveries). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

The Company's management believes that the presentation of the above defined Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because they portray the financial results of the Company before the impact of certain non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” is defined for this purpose as an expense that does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company's management. These items are excluded based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.

The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and therefore believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures, which in certain cases adjust for the impact of amortization of intangible assets and the related tax effects that are primarily related to acquisitions, will provide readers of financial statements with a more consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and be more useful in helping readers understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends. Additionally, the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, primarily due to acquisitions and most recently in response to our return to office planning, that have resulted in costs associated with reductions in headcount, consolidation of leased facilities and related costs, all which are recorded under the Company’s “Special charges (recoveries)” caption on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Each restructuring activity is a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and each differs in terms of its operational implementation, business impact and scope, and the size of each restructuring plan can vary significantly from period to period. Therefore, the Company believes that the exclusion of these special charges (recoveries) will also better aid readers of financial statements in the understanding and comparability of the Company's operating results and underlying operational trends.

In summary, the Company believes the provision of supplemental Non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText's performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance (although prior performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance). As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, supplementary Non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.

The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP-based financial measures to Non-GAAP-based financial measures for the following periods presented.

(1)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.

(2)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.

(3)    GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.

(4)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the periods relevant to an acquisition and include certain charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations, and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.

(5)    GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars.

(6)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as other income (expense) generally relates to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities in these privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses on these investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.

(7)    Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision rate of approximately 35% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of items that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based adjusted net income. Such excluded items include amortization, share-

based compensation, special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

(1)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.

(2)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.

(3)    GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.

(4)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the periods relevant to an acquisition and include certain charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations, and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.

(5)    GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars.

(6)    Adjustment relates to the exclusion of other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as other income (expense) generally relates to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities in these privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses on these investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.

(7)    Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision rate of approximately 30% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of items that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based adjusted net income. Such excluded items include amortization, share-

based compensation, special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

Dear Shareholders It remains a volatile world with the war in Ukraine, massive refugee crisis in Europe, goods and wage inflation, ongoing supply chain challenges, Covid-19 on the rise in China, and we remain in a global pandemic. These macro events have made it clear that the need for Information Management and digitalization has never been greater. This acceleration in information-led transformations is evident in OpenText’s discussions with customers, partners, in our performance, and in our sales pipeline. The best answer for organizations facing inflation is digitalization; the best answer to supply chain disruption is digitalization; and the best way to manage wage inflation is digitalization. By digitalization I mean taking all forms of work and making them machine-readable, and when machine-readable, using the information and learnings to have people and computers get smarter, go faster, and ultimately, gain an information advantage. In our experience, the transformations that yield the best results are those transformations that are information-led. And the best solution to help organizations gain an information-led transformation is the OpenText Cloud. We are optimistic and believe in the transformative nature of innovation and technology. Information Management is essential to power and protect organizations of all sizes, as they elevate themselves to their fullest potential. Our mission remains to deliver Information Management - at scale, in the cloud, for organizations of all sizes. Our OpenText offices are open. We have begun to return to our physical workplaces where we are better together and human collaboration is irreplicable. In June, we plan to host our annual OpenText World Europe conference live from Munich, and we will bring our employees together in person at our company kickoff in July. I hope you can join us at OpenText World Europe on June 21-22. May the one that brings peace, bring peace for all. We are each privileged, not because of our economic upbringing, but rather, because we were raised in environments that allowed us to be optimistic. And I have never been more optimistic about our future, reinforced by a strong Q3, robust expectations for Q4, and our confidence to be in our expected range of 3% to 4% total revenue growth for Fiscal 2022. OpenText’s strong third-quarter performance, amidst challenging global macro-dynamics, reflects the strength, durability and resiliency of the OpenText business model. Our cloud strategy is working, and we are seeing the results of our efforts as we help our customers to digitize, transform and grow. We continue to invest in talent, innovation, and technology to drive our growth strategy and we are well positioned to grow and extend our leadership in the $92 billion Information Management market. OpenText Quarterly Shareholder Letter For the third quarter ended March 31, 2022 (Q3, FY’22) May 4, 2022 1


Adoption of our Cloud Editions products continues to grow, reflecting our strong track record of investing in market-leading innovations to create superior customer value.

This includes additional segmentation between enterprise and Small and Medium-Sized Business (SMB) • Multiple GROW with OpenText initiatives including our Summit program which focuses on growing our largest customers through our fantastic direct sales and global account teams • We are seeing strong double-digit growth in bookings from our first tranche of global accounts and expect similar results as the expanded investments made in our coverage matures • We continue to transition our significant and valuable install base to the cloud • We have boosted our combined renewal rate (off-cloud + cloud) from 91% to 94% over the past 5 years demonstrating resiliency during significant social, political, and economic macro events • In enterprise, we attained Global 10K (G10K) account coverage of 66%, on track to reach full coverage of 80%+ by end of CY'23 • We introduced the goal of doubling our international sales capacity and revenue, led by the cloud • We now have 2,000+ employees focused on SMB, including 500+ product & engineering experts • We highlighted Microsoft’s New Commerce Experience program, which is providing us with an opportunity to engage and grow our MSP partners in new ways.

OpenText solutions help organizations be future-oriented and create simplicity. The pace of rising compliance measures and labor costs has reinvigorated the attention on process automation and the need for information-led transformations.

Moreover, cybersecurity continues to be the top concern for many customers. OpenText continues to strengthen the security protocols of our cloud infrastructure and cloud offerings with multi-layered protection. The charge regarding business transformation tools and solutions and this battle rhythm has enabled us to rapidly bring compelling value to our customers. On March 2, 2022, we announced Cloud Editions 22.1, which introduced innovations that digitally empower teams to increase their productivity, optimize supply chains, and deliver personalized customer experiences at scale — all while increasing security and reducing risk. Accelerating Our Investments Over the next five years, OpenText plans to invest approximately $2.2 billion in R&D with 80% of that spending dedicated to advancing innovation across our clouds.

Our Culture is Centered on Our Customers Our OpenText culture is truly customer-centered, and our performance continues to be driven by our focus on our customers’ priorities and commitment to outstanding execution. Our five purpose-driven cloud platforms offer end-to-end solutions to enable delivery of personalized customer experiences at scale — all while increasing security and reducing risk. With over 75,000 enterprise customers and over 800,000 SMB customers, OpenText is the top choice for the world’s largest organizations to help them accelerate their information-led transformations. We have the scale, expertise and breadth of our cloud solutions to provide the highest possible value for the largest organizations in the world. Forty of the 50 largest global supply chains are OpenText customers. Our top priority is to be the navigator for our customers’ cloud journeys. We have a number of customer success stories to highlight this quarter: Booz Allen Hamilton, an American management and information technology consulting firm, selected OpenText PLM Managed Services to strengthen its ability to provide client information across more domains and departments. Ecopetrol, a Fortune Global 500 company, the leading petroleum company in Colombia and one of the main petroleum companies in Latin America, migrated all their content from IBM P8 to OpenText Extended ECM. Société Générale, a French multinational investment bank and financial services company, extended its archiving capabilities with OpenText InfoArchive to support the merger of its retail banks. Elephant Insurance, a US auto insurance carrier and a subsidiary of UK leading insurer, Admiral Group, selected OpenText Exstream to generate, personalize and deliver omnichannel communications for their claims, policy and billing services. The Philippine National Bureau of Investigation, a government agency under the Department of Justice, selected OpenText EnCase Forensic and OpenText Tableau to present digital forensic evidence in courts. 6


Mergers and Acquisitions We see our M&A capabilities as a strategic competitive advantage and a foundational part of our Total Growth Strategy. The pipeline of opportunities for M&A is growing as valuations in the market become more attractive. We have the capital and leadership bandwidth to pursue our pipeline. Acquisitions enable us to further extend our Information Management leadership supporting our broader growth aspirations. M&A continues to be an important vector to double the company over the next 5 to 7 years and we have the financial strength and flexibility to deploy our M&A strategy at scale for long-term value creation. Acquisitions Create Foundation for OpenText’s SMB Powerhouse Offering Security remains a high priority for small and medium businesses. The acquisitions of Carbonite in 2019 and Zix in 2021 have provided us with a strong foundation to expand our footprint in the SMB market. The Zix integration is tracking to plan, and I have been very impressed with the talent Zix brings to OpenText, our new MSPs, and the deepening of our strategic relationship with Microsoft. We Stand with the People of Ukraine We stand with the people of Ukraine, whose country is being attacked in an unprovoked war against an independent sovereign nation with a democratically elected government. OpenText has ceased all direct business in Russia and Belarus and with known Russian-owned companies, and this will continue until the war ends and sanctions are lifted. We will continuously monitor the situation and adjust our business practices as required, keeping our employees, customers, and partners informed. OpenText is proud to be partnering with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and has made a $100,000 USD donation in support of their ongoing humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. We are also encouraging our employees to contribute to this important cause. This crisis has wide-ranging impacts on our customers, and we are ready to work quickly to help find solutions to any business disruptions. Protecting customer and partner data is our top priority. We will continue to adopt a proactive and vigilant approach in monitoring cyber-threats. We have a defined Security Incident process to address potential exposure and would immediately advise clients in the event of a breach or data privacy issues. 7


Conclusion OpenText has grown its revenues at a 13.2% compound annual growth rate over the last 5 years through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. Over that same timeframe, our ARR grew even faster at 15.3% and Cloud revenues grew at 18.6%, leading to higher predictability of our business. In Q3, our ARR was 83% of total revenues. OpenText continues to accelerate its journey to be the leading Information Management company in the cloud and our position in this market has never been stronger. We will continue to invest in talent, innovation, and technology to drive our growth strategy. As we approach the end of FY’22, our confidence in the durability of our model remains strong. We remain committed to our Total Growth Strategy and creating shareholder value through growth, profitability, and capital efficiency. We are on track to meet our FY’22 targets and longer-term aspirations. OpenText has never been better positioned to make the most of the opportunities that are ahead of us. Mark J. Barrenechea OpenText CEO & CTO 8
