Pegasystems reports 16% growth in annual contract value

WALTHAM, Mass. - Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ:PEGA), a software company with a market capitalization of $8.79 billion, reported a 16% year-over-year increase in Annual Contract Value (ACV) for the second quarter of 2025, reaching $1.51 billion, according to a press release issued Tuesday. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears to be trading above its Fair Value, despite maintaining impressive gross profit margins of 75.74%.

The enterprise software company saw its Pega Cloud ACV grow by 28% compared to the same period last year, while Pega Cloud backlog increased 30%. In constant currency terms, these metrics rose 14%, 25%, and 26% respectively. The company’s strong performance is reflected in its overall revenue growth of 14.29% over the last twelve months, with InvestingPro data showing three analysts recently revising their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period.

The company reported second-quarter revenue of $384.5 million, up 9% from $351.2 million in the same period last year. GAAP net income surged to $30.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $6.6 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of 2024.

Cash flow from operations and free cash flow both increased more than 30% year over year, with free cash flow reaching $286.5 million for the first half of 2025, up from $218.4 million in the same period last year.

"Our first half of 2025 results show what happens when strategy, innovation, and execution come together," said Ken Stillwell, Pega’s COO and CFO, in the press release. "Our disciplined focus on Rule of 40 principles is fueling both accelerated growth and margin expansion." This execution excellence is reflected in the company’s Financial Health Score, which InvestingPro rates as ’GREAT’, with particularly strong scores in growth and profitability metrics.
