Business Overview
We develop, sell, deploy, service and maintain software solutions designed to manage supply chains, inventory and omnichannel operations for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other organizations. Our customers include many of the world’s premier and most profitable brands.
Our business model is singularly focused on the development and implementation of complex commerce enablement software solutions that are designed to optimize supply chains, and retail store operations including POS effectiveness and efficiency for our customers.
We have five principal sources of revenue:
•
cloud subscriptions, including software as a service (SaaS) and hosting of software;
•
licenses of our software;
•
customer support services and software enhancements (collectively, “maintenance”) related to software licenses;
•
professional services, including solutions planning and implementation, related consulting, customer training, and reimbursements from customers for out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, “services”); and
•
hardware sales.
In 2025, we generated $1,081.4 million in total revenue, with a revenue mix of: cloud subscriptions 38%; software license 1%; maintenance 12%; services revenue 47%; and hardware 2%.
We have three geographic reportable segments: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Geographic revenue is based on the location of the sale. Our international revenue was approximately $373.5 million and $346.2 million for the years ended December 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represents approximately 35%, and 33% of our total revenue for the years ended December 2025 and 2024, respectively, respectively. International revenue includes all revenue derived from sales to customers outside the United States. At December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 4,370 employees worldwide. We have offices in Australia, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives in Mexico and reseller partnerships in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Asia.
Future Expectations
While we remain cautious about the global economy, our results for the full year ended December 31, 2025 exceeded our expectations due to solid demand for our cloud solutions. Our solutions are mission critical, supporting complex global supply chains. We believe that favorable secular tailwinds, such as the digital transformation of businesses in manufacturing, wholesale and retail, coupled with our commitment to investing in organic innovation to deliver leading cloud supply chain, inventory and omnichannel commerce solutions is in synergistic alignment with current market demand. We believe this alignment is contributing to our strong financial results, higher demand and strong win rates for our solutions for the period. We remain committed to investing in our business to drive customer success and expand our total addressable market, which we believe will position us well to achieve long-term sustainable growth and earnings.
Going forward, we are investing in our cloud business, including enterprise investments in innovation, and strategic operating expenses to support growth objectives.
29
For 2026, our five strategic goals continue to be:
•
Focus on customer success and drive sustainable long-term growth;
•
Invest in innovation to expand our products and total addressable market;
•
Expand our Manhattan Active suite of cloud solutions;
•
Develop and grow our cloud business and cloud subscription revenue; and
•
Expand our global sales and marketing teams.
Cloud Subscription
Under our Manhattan Active® Solutions cloud subscription offering, customers pay a periodic fee for the right to use our software within a cloud environment that we provide and manage over a specified period of time. Adoption of our Manhattan Active® cloud solutions continues to increase nicely, with cloud revenue up 21% over 2024. Cloud revenue now represents about 96% of our total software revenue.
Customers on our legacy perpetual license program can convert their maintenance contracts to cloud subscription contracts.
Global Economic Trends and Industry Factors
Global macro-economic trends, technology spending, and supply chain management market growth are important barometers for our business. In 2025, we generated approximately 65% of our total revenue in the United States, 20% in EMEA, and the remaining balance in APAC, Canada, and Latin America. In addition, Gartner Inc.(“Gartner”), an information technology research and advisory company, estimates that over 80% of every supply chain software solutions dollar invested is spent in North America and Europe; consequently, the health of the U.S. and European economies have a meaningful impact on our financial results.
We sell technology-based solutions with total pricing, including software and services, in many cases exceeding $1.0 million. Our software is often a part of our customers’ and prospects’ much larger capital commitment associated with facilities expansion and business improvement. We believe that, given the mission critical nature of our software, combined with a challenging global macro environment, our current sales cycles for large cloud subscriptions in our target markets could be extended. While demand for our solutions is solid, the current business climate within the United States and geographic regions in which we operate may affect customers’ and prospects’ decisions regarding timing of strategic capital expenditures.
In January 2026, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) provided a World Economic Outlook (WEO) update. The WEO update noted, “Global growth is projected at 3.3 percent in 2026 and 3.2 percent in 2027: rates similar to the estimated 3.3 percent outturn in 2025. Global headline inflation is expected to decline from an estimated 4.1 percent in 2025 to 3.8 percent in 2026 and further to 3.4 percent in 2027. The inflation projections are also broadly unchanged from those in October and envisage inflation returning to target more gradually in the United States than in other large economies.”
The WEO update projected advanced economies, which represent our primary revenue markets, would grow at about 2.4 and 2.0 percent in 2026 and 2027, while the emerging and developing economies would grow at about 4.2 percent in 2026 and 4.1 percent in 2027.
While we are encouraged by our results, we remain cautious regarding the pace of global economic growth. We believe global geopolitical and economic volatility likely will continue to shape customers’ and prospects’ enterprise software buying decisions.
Key Performance Metrics
We regularly review metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe cloud subscriptions revenue growth and remaining performance obligation (RPO) growth are the leading indicators of our business performance, primarily derived from cloud subscription fees that customers pay for our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions.
Cloud Subscriptions Revenue Growth
Our cloud revenue growth provides insight into our ability to maintain and grow our cloud customer base. Total cloud revenue increased from $337.2 million in 2024 to $408.1 million in 2025, representing a 21% year-over-year increase. Cloud revenue growth is being driven by strong demand for our cloud offerings.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Transaction price allocated to RPO represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and non-cancelable amounts that we expect to invoice and recognize as revenue in future periods. Over 98% of our RPO
30
represent cloud native subscriptions with a non-cancelable term greater than one year. Maintenance contracts typically are for one year and not included in RPO. RPO provides insight into our contracted backlog of future business. As of December 31, 2025, our RPO was approximately $2.2 billion, an increase of 25% over December 31, 2024 on strong demand.
Revenue
Cloud Subscriptions and Software License revenue: In the full year ended December 31, 2025, cloud subscriptions revenue was 96% of total cloud and software license revenue. In 2025, cloud subscriptions revenue totaled $408.1 million, or 38% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments recognized $313.0 million, $80.1 million and $15.0 million in cloud subscriptions revenue, respectively, in 2025. Cloud subscriptions revenue is recognized over the term of the agreement, typically five years or more. Cloud subscription revenue growth is influenced by the strength of general economic and business conditions and the competitive position of our software products. These revenues generally have long sales cycles. Approximately 56% of the total value of new non-cancelable cloud subscriptions (excluding renewals) signed during 2025 was with new customers and 44% was with existing customers. We define new customers as entities from which we either have never earned revenue or have not recognized revenue in the last five years.
In 2025, license revenue totaled $14.8 million, or 1% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments totaled $5.6 million, $8.4 million, and $0.8 million in license revenue, respectively, in 2025.
Our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutionsare focused on core omnichannel operation (e-commerce, retail store operations and POS), supply chain commerce operations (Warehouse Management, Transportation Management and Labor Management), and inventory optimization, which are intensely competitive markets characterized by rapid technological change. We are a market leader in the supply chain management and omnichannel software solutions market as defined by industry analysts such as ARC Advisory Group and Gartner. Our goal is to extend our position as a leading global supply chain solutions provider by growing our cloud subscriptions revenues faster than our competitors through investment in innovation.
Maintenance Revenue: Our maintenance revenue totaled $130.0 million, or 12% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA and APAC segments recognized $102.4 million, $19.0 million, and $8.6 million, respectively, in maintenance revenue in 2025. For maintenance, we offer a comprehensive 24 hours per day, 365 days per year program that provides our customers with software upgrades, when and if available, which include additional or improved functionality and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry initiatives.
Maintenance relates to our legacy perpetual license sales. We expect maintenance revenues to decline as we continue to develop our cloud offerings, and be offset by additional cloud revenue, including from customers converting their maintenance contracts to cloud subscriptions. The growth of maintenance revenues is influenced by: (1) new software license contracts; (2) annual renewal of support contracts; and (3) fluctuations in currency rates. Substantially all of our customers renew their annual support contracts or convert their maintenance contracts to cloud subscriptions. Maintenance revenue is generally paid in advance and recognized over the term of the agreement, typically twelve months. Maintenance renewal revenue is recognized over the renewal period once we have a contract upon payment from the customer.
Services Revenue: In 2025, our services revenue totaled $503.0 million, or 47% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments recognized $364.7 million, $107.5 million, and $30.8 million, respectively.
Our professional services organization provides our customers with expertise and assistance in planning and implementing our solutions. To ensure a successful product implementation, consultants assist customers with the initial implementation of a system or service, the conversion and transfer of the customer’s historical data to the new system or service, and ongoing training, education, and system/service upgrades. We believe our professional services enable customers to implement our software rapidly, ensure the customer’s success with our solutions, strengthen our customer relationships, and add to our industry-specific knowledge base for use in future implementations and product innovations.
Although our professional services are optional, the majority of our customers use at least some portion of these services for their planning, implementation, ongoing support, training, system upgrades or related needs. Professional services are typically rendered under time and materials-based contracts with services typically billed on an hourly basis. Professional services are sometimes rendered under fixed-fee based contracts with payments due on specific dates or milestones.
Services revenue growth is contingent upon cloud sales and customer upgrade cycles, which are influenced by the strength of general economic and business conditions and the competitive position of our software products. In addition, our professional services business has competitive exposure to offshore providers and other consulting companies.
Hardware Revenue: Our hardware revenue, which we recognize net of related costs, totaled $25.4 million in 2025 representing 2% of total revenue. As a convenience for our cloud and perpetual license customers, we resell a variety of hardware products developed and manufactured by third parties. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, RFID chip readers,
31
bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. We resell all third-party hardware products and related maintenance pursuant to agreements with manufacturers or through distributor-authorized reseller agreements pursuant to which we are entitled to purchase hardware products and services at discount prices. We purchase hardware from our vendors only after receiving an order from a customer. As a result, we do not maintain hardware inventory.
Product Development
We continue to invest significantly in research and development (R&D) to provide leading Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions to enable global retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and logistics providers to successfully manage accelerating and fluctuating demands as well as the increasing complexity and volatility of their local and global supply chains, retail store operations and POS. Our R&D expenses for the years ended December 2025 and 2024 were $145.1 million and $137.7 million, respectively.
We expect to continue to focus our R&D resources on the development and enhancement of our core supply chain, inventory optimization, omnichannel and POS software solutions. We offer what we believe to be the broadest solutions portfolio in the supply chain solutions marketplace, to address all aspects of inventory optimization, transportation management, distribution management, planning, and omnichannel operations including order management, store inventory & fulfillment, call center and POS.
We also plan to continue to enhance our existing solutions and to introduce new solutions to address evolving industry standards and market needs. We identify opportunities to further enhance our solutions and to develop and provide new solutions through our customer support organization, as well as through ongoing customer consulting engagements and implementations, interactions with our user groups, association with leading industry analysts and market research firms, and participation in industry standards and research committees. Our solutions address the needs of customers in various vertical markets, including retail, consumer goods, food and grocery logistics service providers, industrial and wholesale, high technology and electronics, life sciences, and government.
Cash Flow and Financial Condition
For 2025, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $389.5 million and have generated a cumulative total of $930.7 million for the three years ended December 31, 2025. Our cash at December 31, 2025 totaled $328.7 million, with no debt. We currently have no credit facilities. During the past three years, our primary uses of cash have been for funding investments in R&D in our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions to drive revenue and earnings growth. In addition for 2025, we repurchased $274.5 million of Manhattan Associates’ outstanding common stock under the share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. In January 2026, our Board of Directors replenished the Company’s share repurchase authority to an aggregate of $100.0 million of our common stock.
In 2026, we expect that our priorities for use of cash will continue to be investments in our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions. We also anticipate prioritizing capital allocation in our global teams to fund growth, and accretive share repurchases. We do not anticipate any borrowing requirements in 2026 for general corporate purposes.

Cloud Subscriptions Revenue
Cloud subscriptions revenue increased $70.9 million to $408.1 million in 2025 compared to 2024. Our customers have demonstrated a clear preference for cloud-based solutions, including existing customers that are migrating from on-premise to cloud-based offerings. Cloud subscriptions revenue increased $48.7 million, $17.3 million and $4.9 million for the Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments, respectively. Cloud subscriptions revenue recognized from first time cloud customers (defined as customers with no prior cloud subscriptions) during the year in which their initial cloud subscription began was approximately 8% and 2% of total cloud revenue in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our contracts with first time cloud customers for multi-year subscriptions typically increase in scope and price over the term, and thus revenue recognized during the year when the contract is signed tends to be small relative to the total contract value. Revenue recognized in the initial year excludes revenue from additional solutions sold to the customer in future years and could be impacted by the timing of the start date of the subscription during the year.
Software License Revenue
Software license revenue decreased $0.3 million to $14.8 million in 2025 compared to 2024 on strong market preference for our cloud-native solutions.License revenue for the Americas and APAC segments decreased $6.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, while license revenue for the EMEA segment increased $7.0 million in 2025 over 2024. The majority of our software license revenue relates to our warehouse management product group (approximately 80%) for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Maintenance Revenue
Maintenance revenue decreased by $8.3 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The Americas and APAC segments decreased $8.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to 2024, while the EMEA segment increased $0.6 million. Maintenance relates to our perpetual software licenses. The decrease in maintenance revenue for the Americas segment is primarily driven by customer demand for cloud-based solutions over perpetual software licenses.
Services Revenue
Services revenue decreased $22.5 million in 2025 compared to 2024. Service revenue for the Americas segment decreased $24.8 million, while services revenue for the EMEA and APAC segments increased $2.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, compared to 2024. The decrease in services revenue for the Americas segment is primarily driven by customer budgetary constraints that shifted services work to future periods which negatively impacted our professional services revenue related to cloud subscriptions. The percentage of professional services revenue that relates to cloud subscriptions in 2025 and 2024 was approximately 75%, respectively. The remainder of our professional services revenue relates to implementations, ongoing support, and upgrades of licensed software. Professional services revenue recognized from first time cloud customers (defined as customers with no prior cloud subscriptions) during the year in which their initial cloud subscription began was approximately 7% of total services revenue in 2025 and 2024, respectively. As with our cloud subscriptions, customers often continue to purchase our professional services beyond their initial implementation to roll out additional locations, implement additional features and functionality, and implement additional products, as well as for general support. Professional services revenue recognized from first time cloud customers excludes those services we provided after the year in which the initial cloud subscription began. Further, the professional services revenue attributable to first time cloud customers could be affected by the timing of the start date of the subscription during the year.
35
Hardware Revenue
Hardware revenue, net decreased $0.8 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The majority of hardware sales are derived from our Americas segment. Sales of hardware are largely dependent upon customer-specific desires, which fluctuate.
Cost of Revenue
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)
Cost of cloud subscriptions, maintenance and services $ 471,405 $ 469,659 0%
Cost of Cloud Subscriptions, Maintenance and Services
Cost of cloud subscriptions, maintenance and services consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of employees dedicated to cloud subscriptions; maintenance services related to perpetual software licenses; and professional and technical services as well as hosting fees. The $1.7 million increase in 2025 compared to 2024 was principally due to a $10.6 million increase in computer infrastructure cost, partially offset by a $5.5 million decrease in compensation and other personnel-related expenses, a $2.5 million decrease in performance-based compensation expense, and a $0.8 million decrease in travel expense.
Cost of Software License
Cost of software license consists of the costs associated with software reproduction; media, packaging and delivery; documentation, and other related costs; and royalties on third-party software sold with or as part of our products. In 2025, cost of license decreased $0.4 million, compared to 2024.
Operating Expenses

Restructuring expense 2,937 - NA
Research and Development
Our principal research and development (R&D) activities during 2025 and 2024 focused on the expansion and integration of new products and releases, including cloud solutions, while expanding the product footprint of our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions, including Inventory Optimization and point-of-sale.
For 2025 and 2024, we did not capitalize any R&D costs as the period between determining technological feasibility was established or that it is probable the software product would be used to perform the function intended were insignificant.
R&D expenses primarily consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs for personnel involved in our research and development activities. Research and development expenses in 2025 increased by $7.4 million compared to 2024. This increase is principally due to a $7.4 million increase in compensation and other personnel-related expenses.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, commissions, travel and other personnel-related costs and the costs of our marketing and alliance programs and related activities. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.2 million in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in compensation and other personnel-related expense, a $1.1 million increase in marketing and
36
campaign expenses, a $0.9 million increase in performance-based compensation expense, and a $0.3 million increase in travel expense.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs of executive, financial, human resources, information technology, and administrative personnel, as well as facilities, legal, insurance, accounting, and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $4.0 million in 2025 due to a $3.0 million signing bonus, $0.8 million in recruiting fees, and $6.5 million of stock compensation expense related to the hiring of our new chief executive officer; a $5.4 million increase in compensation and other personnel-related expenses, a $1.5 million increase in professional expense, and a $0.8 million increase in office expense, partially offset by a $13.8 million decrease in expense related to an unusual health insurance claim as the final payment was much lower than the cost estimates previously provided by our health insurance provider.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization of intangibles and software expense amounted to $6.3 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization of intangibles was immaterial in 2025 and 2024. We have recorded acquisition-related intangible assets as part of the purchase accounting associated with various acquisitions.
Restructuring expense
In January 2025, the Company eliminated approximately 100 positions to align our services capacity with customer demand which has been impacted by short-term macro-economic uncertainty. The Company recorded restructuring expense of approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 to the Americas segment. The expense primarily consists of employee severance and outplacement services. The expense is classified in “Restructuring expense” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Operating Income
Operating income in 2025 increased $18.2 million to $279.8 million, compared to $261.6 million for 2024. Operating margins were 25.9% for 2025 versus 25.1% for 2024. Operating income and margin increased primarily due to increased cloud subscriptions. In 2025, operating income increased by $0.2 million, $15.6 million, and $2.4 million in the Americas, EMEA and APAC segment, respectively.
Other Income and Income Taxes
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)
Other (Loss) Income, net
Other (loss) income, net primarily includes interest income, foreign currency gains and losses, and other non-operating expenses. Interest income was $4.4 million and $6.0 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate earned on cash and investments was approximately 1% in 2025 and approximately 2% in 2024. We recorded net foreign currency gains of $1.7 million in 2025 and losses of $1.0 million in 2024. The foreign currency gains and losses mainly resulted from gains or losses on intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies with subsidiaries due to the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, primarily the British Pound Sterling, Euro, and Indian Rupee.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rates were 23.1% and 18.2% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective income tax rate takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits.
The effective tax rate in 2025 increased from 2024 mainly due to a decrease of excess tax benefits on restricted stock vesting in 2025, an increase in executive compensation limitations, and an increase in tax contingency reserves.
The income tax provision for 2025 and 2024 included excess tax benefits of $6.1 million and $13.1 million on vesting of restricted stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2025 and 2024, we funded our business through cash generated from operations. Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 included $226.6 million held in the U.S. and $102.1 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that our cash balances in the U.S. are sufficient to fund our U.S. operations. In the future, if we elect to repatriate the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, we would no longer be subject to additional U.S. income taxes on such earnings due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, but we could be subject to additional local withholding taxes.
Cash flow from operating activities totaled $389.5 million and $295.0 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Typical factors affecting our cash provided by operating activities include our level of revenue and earnings for the period, the timing and amount of employee bonus and income tax payments, and the timing of cash collections from our customers which is our primary source of operating cash flow. Cash flow from operating activities for 2025 increased $94.5 million compared to 2024 due to the timing of cash collections from our customers and decrease in cash taxes owed from the acceleration of the deduction for domestic research and development expenditures. Days sales outstanding was 73 and 74 for quarter ending December 2025 and 2024, respectively, reflecting solid cash collections.
Investing activities used cash of $15.5 million and $8.7 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our investing activities for 2025 and 2024 consisted of capital spending to support company growth and short-term investing.
Financing activities used cash of $315.2 million and $286.4 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The principal use of cash for financing activities in 2025 and 2024 was to purchase our common stock, including shares withheld for taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock and excise tax payments. Repurchases of our common stock for 2025 and 2024 totaled $315.2 million and $286.4 million, respectively, including shares withheld for taxes of $39.0 million and $43.6 million, respectively. Excise tax payments totaled $1.6 million and $1.1 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. In January 2026, our Board of Directors replenished the Company’s share repurchase authority to an aggregate of $100.0 million of our common stock.
We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs at least for the next twelve months, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In 2026, we anticipate that our priorities for use of cash will be similar to prior years, with our first priority being continued investment in product development and in our business to extend our market leadership. We will also continue to weigh our share repurchase options against cash for acquisitions and investing in the business. At this time, we do not anticipate any borrowing requirements in 2026 for general corporate purposes.
Periodically, opportunities may arise to grow our business through the acquisition of complementary products and technologies. Any material acquisition could result in a decrease to our working capital depending on the amount, timing, and nature of the consideration to be paid. We expect to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that are complementary to our product footprint and technology direction.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Our principal commitments as of December 31, 2025 consist of multiple non-cancellable contracts for cloud infrastructure services and obligations under operating leases. As of December 31, 2025, our cloud infrastructure contractual obligations are approximately $202.7 million over the next 5 years. We also enter into non-cancellable subscriptions in the ordinary course of business for internal software to support our operations. Our contractual obligations, as of December 31, 2025, are approximately $37.0 million over the next 7 years. We expect to fulfill all of these commitments from our working capital.
Lease Commitments
We lease our facilities and some of our equipment under noncancelable operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates ranging from 2025 to 2036. Rent expense for these leases aggregated$10.1 million and$9.3million during 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In the following table, we present a summary of our contractual commitments as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
Indemnities
Our customer contracts generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under those provisions, we generally agree, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with third party claims against the customer alleging that the customer’s use of our services and products infringe third party intellectual property rights. Conditions to our obligations generally include that we are provided the right to control the defense of the claims and, in general, to control settlement negotiations. Those provisions generally provide also that, if the customer is prevented from using our services or products because of
38
a third party infringement claim, our sole obligation (in addition to the indemnification, defense, and hold harmless obligation referred to above) is to, at our expense, (i) procure for the customer the right to continue to use the services or products, (ii) replace or modify the services or products so that the customer’s use does not infringe, or, if neither of these options is reasonably feasible, (iii) terminate that particular services or products and provide, as applicable, a refund of services fees paid for services not received or a refund of the unamortized portion of the license fees paid for the products (based on a five year amortization period). Our customer contracts sometimes also require us to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with death, personal injury or property damage claims made by third parties with respect to actions of our personnel or contractors. The indemnity obligations contained in our customer contracts generally have no specified expiration date and no specified monetary limitation on liability, but they do not cover indirect or consequential damages, such as our customers’ lost revenues or profits. We have not previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification obligations. We account for these indemnity obligations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's guidance on accounting for contingencies and record a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification obligations as of December 31, 2025.
Warranties
In general, in our customer contracts for purchase of our cloud SaaS services or license of our on-premises software products, we warrant that our services or software will perform in accordance with our published services or product specifications. Additionally, we may include other warranties such as “no-malware” warranties and warranties that we will perform our SaaS services consistent with generally accepted industry standards or similar standards. In our SaaS services agreements, we also include service level agreements (SLAs) under which we agree to provide service credits to our customers if our services availability drops below certain defined levels. If necessary, we would reserve for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claims history. However, we have not incurred significant recurring expense under our services or product warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of our warranty obligations is nominal, and we have no liabilities recorded for them as of December 31, 2025.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based on information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. To the extent there are material differences between those estimates, judgments, or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The accounting policy that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions is Revenue Recognition.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We derive our revenue mainly from cloud subscriptions, customer support services, and software enhancements (“maintenance”), and professional services. We exclude sales and usage-based taxes from revenue.
Nature of Products and Services
Cloud subscriptions include software as a service (“SaaS”) and hosting arrangements which provide customers with the right to use our software within a cloud environment that we provide and manage where the customer does not have the right to take possession of the software without significant penalty. SaaS and hosting revenues are recognized over the contract period as the service is provided.
Our services revenue consists of fees generated from implementation, training and application managed services, including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses in connection with our implementation services. Implementation services include system planning, design, configuration, testing, and other software implementation support, and are typically optional and distinct from our software. Following implementation, customers may purchase application managed services to support and maintain our software. Fees for our services are separately priced and are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. In certain situations, we render professional services under agreements based upon a fixed fee for portions of or all of the engagement. Revenue related to fixed-fee-based services contracts is recognized over time based on the proportion performed.
39
Our cloud contracts with customers can include the sales of SaaS and services. We allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations based on relative standalone selling price ("SSP"). We estimate SSP based on the prices charged to customers, or by using other observable inputs. The selling price of our cloud subscriptions are highly variable. Thus, we estimate SSP for our cloud subscriptions using the residual approach, determined based on total transaction price less the SSP of other goods and services promised in the contract.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Business
Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Our international operations currently include business activity out of offices in the Australia, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against a foreign currency, the value of our sales and expenses in that currency converted to U.S. dollars decreases. When the U.S. dollar weakens, the value of our sales and expenses in that currency converted to U.S. dollars increases. We recognized foreign exchange losses of $1.7 million in 2025, compared to losses of $1.0 million in 2024, and losses of $1.5 million in 2023. Foreign exchange rate transaction gains and losses are classified in “Other (loss) income, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Income. A fluctuation of 10% in the period end exchange rates at December 31, 2025 relative to the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a change of approximately $5.9 million in the reported foreign currency loss.
Interest Rates
We currently invest our cash and cash equivalents in a variety of financial instruments, including taxable floating rate obligations in money market funds and certificate of deposits with original maturities of less than three months when purchased. These investments are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas, except for India, are derived from business operations. Our operations in India are funded by the U.S. operations. At December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balances totaled $328.7 million, of which all is highly liquid.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest-earning instruments carry interest rate risks. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. The weighted-average interest rate of return on cash equivalents and short-term investments was approximately 1% and 2% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair value of cash equivalents held at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $72.6 million and $93.8 million, respectively. Based on the average cash equivalents and short-term investments outstanding during 2025 and 2024, increases or decreases in the rates of return of 25 basis points would result in increases or decreases to interest income of approximately $0.7 million and $0.7 million from the reported interest income for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Manhattan Associates, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of the end of the Company’s 2025 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 was effective.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 and has issued a report regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appearing on page 43, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
1. Organization, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
Manhattan Associates, Inc. (“Manhattan”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a developer and provider of supply chain commerce solutions that help organizations optimize the effectiveness, efficiency, and strategic advantages of their supply chains. Our solutions consist of software, services, and hardware, which coordinate people, workflows, assets, events, and tasks holistically across the functions linked in a supply chain from planning through execution. These solutions also help coordinate the actions, data exchange, and communication of participants in supply chain ecosystems, such as manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, trading partners, transportation providers, channels (such as catalogers, store retailers, and Web outlets), and consumers.
Our operations are in North and South America (the “Americas"), Europe (EMEA), and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. The Americas operation are conducted through the Parent Company, Manhattan Associates, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Manhattan Associates Chile Spa. Our European and Asia Pacific operations are conducted through wholly owned subsidiaries within their respective geographies. We occasionally sell our products and services in other countries, such as countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Asia, through our direct sales channel as well as various reseller channels.
Risks Associated with Single Business Line, Technological Advances, and Foreign Operations
We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenues from sales of cloud solutions and related services. The markets for supply chain commerce solutions are highly competitive, subject to rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions, and evolving industry standards that may render existing products and services obsolete. As a result, our position in these markets could be eroded rapidly by unforeseen changes in customer requirements for application features, functions, and technologies.
Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. We recognized foreign exchange gains of $1.7 million in 2025, compared to losses of $1.0 million in 2024, and gains of $1.5 million in 2023. Foreign exchange rate transaction gains and losses are classified in “Other (loss) income, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
In addition, we have a large development center in Bangalore, India, that does not have a natural in-market revenue hedge to mitigate currency risk to our operating expenses in India. Fluctuations in the value of other currencies, particularly the Indian Rupee, could significantly affect our expenses, operating profit and net income.
Principles of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries have been translated into United States dollars in accordance with the foreign currency matters topic in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). Revenues and expenses from international operations were denominated in the respective local currencies and translated using the average monthly exchange rates for the year. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and the effect of changes in exchange rates from year to year are disclosed as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. Amounts held are above the federally insured limit.
51
Our sales are primarily to companies located in the United States, Europe and Asia. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and do not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due principally from large U.S., European and Asia Pacific companies under stated contract terms. Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2025 for the Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments were $152.8 million, $52.9 million, and $9.0 million, respectively. Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2024 for the Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments were $144.8 million, $50.6 million, and $10.1 million, respectively. Our top five customers in aggregate accounted for 10%, 12%, and 11% of total revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025”), the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024”), and the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023”), respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2025, 2024, and 2023, or more than 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Fair Value Measurement
We measure our investments based on a fair value hierarchy disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and their characteristics. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
•
Level 1–Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
•
Level 2–Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
•
Level 3–Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; investments with maturities of greater than 90 days from the date of purchase but less than one year are generally classified as short-term investments; and investments with maturities of one year or greater from the date of purchase are generally classified as long-term investments. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. For the purposes of computing realized gains and losses, cost is determined on a specific identification basis.
At December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $256.1 million and $72.6 million, respectively. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market funds of $51.3 million and certificates of deposit of $21.3 million. For money market funds, we use quoted prices from active markets that are classified as Level 1, the highest level of observable input in the disclosure hierarchy framework. The Company had no investments at December 31, 2025.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values principally due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates include the allowance for credit losses, which is based upon an evaluation of historical amounts written-off, the customers’ ability to pay, and general economic conditions; self-insurance accruals; impairment testing of goodwill; and our effective income tax rate (including the impact of unrecognized tax benefits) and deferred tax assets, which are based upon our expectations of future taxable income, allowable deductions, and projected tax credits. Actual results will differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We derive our revenue from cloud subscriptions, software licenses, customer support services and software enhancements (“maintenance”) for software licenses, professional services, and sales of hardware. We exclude sales and usage-based taxes from revenue.
Nature of Products and Services
Cloud subscriptions include software as a service (“SaaS”) and hosting arrangements which provide customers with the right to use our software within a cloud environment that we provide and manage where the customer does not have the right to take possession of the software without significant penalty. SaaS and hosting revenues are recognized over the contract period as the service is provided.
52
Our services revenue consists of fees generated from implementation, training and application managed services, including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses in connection with our implementation services. Implementation services include system planning, design, configuration, testing, and other software implementation support, and are typically optional and distinct from our software. Following implementation, customers may purchase application managed services to support and maintain our software. Fees for our services are separately priced and are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. In certain situations, we render professional services under agreements based upon a fixed fee for portions of or all of the engagement. Revenue related to fixed-fee-based services contracts is recognized over time based on the proportion performed.
Our cloud contracts with customers can include the sales of SaaS and services. We allocate the transaction price to the distinct
performance obligations based on relative SSP. We estimate SSP based on the prices charged to customers, or by using information
such as market conditions and other observable inputs. The selling price of our cloud subscriptions are highly variable. Thus, we
estimate SSP for our cloud subscriptions using the residual approach, determined based on total transaction price less the SSP of
other goods and services promised in the contract.
We provide maintenance services to customers who have previously purchased a perpetual license, including a comprehensive 24 hours per day, 365 days per year program that provides customers with software upgrades, when and if available, which include additional or improved functionality and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. Maintenance contracts typically only have one performance obligation. Revenue related to maintenance is generally paid in advance and recognized over the term of the agreement, typically twelve months.
Our perpetual software licenses provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists at the time of purchase. We recognize revenue for distinct software licenses once the license period has begun and we have made the software available to the customer. The selling prices of our software licenses are highly variable. Thus, we estimate SSP for software licenses using the residual approach, determined based on total transaction price less the SSP of other goods and services promised in the contract.
Our customers periodically purchase hardware products developed and manufactured by third parties from us for use with the software licenses purchased from us. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, radio frequency identification (RFID) chip readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. As we do not physically control the hardware that we sell, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and recognize our hardware revenue net of related cost. We recognize hardware revenue when control is transferred to the customer upon shipment.
Contract Balances
Cloud subscriptions and maintenance for perpetual software licenses are typically billed annually in advance.Timing of invoicing to customers may differ from timing of revenue recognition. Payment terms for our software licenses vary. We have an established history of collecting under the terms of our software license contracts without providing refunds or concessions to our customers. Services are typically billed monthly as performed. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with predictable ways to purchase our software and services, not to provide or receive financing. Additionally, we are applying the practical expedient to exclude from consideration any contracts with payment terms of one year or less. We rarely offer terms extending beyond one year.
Deferred revenue mainly represents amounts collected prior to having fully satisfied cloud subscriptions, maintenance and professional services performance obligations. $277.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024 was recognized in 2025.
No revenue was recognized in 2025 from performance obligations that were satisfied in prior periods.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of December 31, 2025, approximately $2.2 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. Over 98% of our remaining performance obligations represent cloud native subscriptions with a non-cancelable term greater than one year (including cloud-deferred revenue as well as amounts we will invoice and recognize as revenue from our performance of cloud services in future periods). Maintenance contracts for perpetual software licenses are typically one year in duration and are not included in the remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 38% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months with the majority of the remaining balance recognized over the following 36 months. We have elected not to provide disclosures regarding remaining performance obligations for contracts with a term of 1 year or less.
Returns and Allowances
We have not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, have not recorded a provision for the cost of returns and product warranty claims.
53
We record an allowance for credit losses utilizing a model of internal historical losses data. In estimating the allowance for credit losses, we considered our historical write-offs, the historical creditworthiness of the customer, and other factors. We also analyzed expected credit losses given future risks in projected economic conditions and future risks of customer collection. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by us will also change accordingly, which could affect the level of our future allowances. Additions to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in general and administrative expense and were immaterial in all periods presented. Our credit loss reserve was $0.9 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We also reduce accounts receivable with a corresponding reduction in services revenue for the most likely amount of potential service revenue adjustments based on a detailed assessment of accounts receivable. The total amount recorded to services revenue was $0.6 million, $1.6 million, and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we have reduced our accounts receivable balance by $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for these potential adjustments.
Deferred Commissions
We consider sales commissions to be incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and recognize an asset for sales commissions related to performance obligations with an expected period of benefit of more than one year. We amortize these amounts over the expected benefit period which we estimate by considering several factors, including the rate of technological change and duration of our customer contracts. Sales commissions for renewal contracts are amortized over the related contractual renewal period. We apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions when the amortization period would have been one year or less. Deferred commissions were $51.2 million as of December 31, 2025, of which $39.5 million is included in other assets and $11.7 million is included in prepaid expenses.Deferred commissions were $42.4 million as of December 31, 2024, of which $31.8 million is included in other assets and $10.6 million is included in prepaid expenses. Sales commission expense is included in Sales and Marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Amortization of sales commissions in 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $12.0 million, $10.6 million, and $9.8 million respectively. No impairment losses were recognized during 2025, 2024, and 2023.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists of furniture, computers, other office equipment, and leasehold improvements. We depreciate the cost of furniture, computers, and other office equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (three to five years for office equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the term of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense for 2025, 2024, and 2023 was approximately $6.3 million, $6.3 million, and $5.8 million, respectively, and was included in “Depreciation and amortization” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortization expense on intangible assets in 2025, 2024, and 2023 was immaterial.
Property and equipment, at cost, consist of the following (in thousands):
December 31,
Software Development Costs
Software may be for internal use or for resale. Costs related to certain software, which is for resale, are capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Under this guidance, computer software development costs are charged to research and development (R&D) expense until technological feasibility is established, after which remaining software production costs are capitalized. We have defined technological feasibility as the point in time at which we have a detailed program design or a working model of the related product, depending on the type of development efforts, and high-risk development issues have been resolved through end-to-end system testing. We do not typically capitalize costs related to software for resale as technological feasibility generally coincides with general availability of the software.
We account for internal use software in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software. We expense all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of our development. We capitalize the costs incurred during the application development stage once it is probable that development will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs are typically insignificant. All other costs, primarily related to maintenance and minor software fixes as well as research and development, are expensed as incurred.
54
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review the values assigned to long-lived assets, including property and equipment and certain intangible assets, to determine whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives may warrant revision or that the remaining balances may not be recoverable. If such events and circumstances exist, undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets are compared with their carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. During 2025, 2024, and 2023, we did not recognize any impairment expense associated with our long-lived or intangible assets.
The evaluation of asset impairment requires management to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.
Goodwill and Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. During 2025 and 2024, we did not recognize any impairment expense associated with our goodwill. We do not have any accumulated impairment loses as of 2025. Goodwill was $62.2 million at the end of both years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Impairment of Goodwill
We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually as of December 31 and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.
We applied the simplified goodwill impairment test for 2025, that permits companies to perform a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment test for all or selected reporting units. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, companies are only required to perform Step 1 of the annual impairment test for a reporting unit if the company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. To the extent we conclude that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step approach is applied. The first step would require a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to the respective carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. We did not identify any macroeconomic or industry conditions as of December 31, 2025, that would indicate that the fair value of the reporting units were more likely than not to be less than their respective carrying values. If circumstances change or events occur to indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting units have fallen below their carrying amount, we would record an impairment expense based on that difference. We performed our periodic goodwill impairment review as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and did not identify any impairment as a result of the review.
Guarantees and Indemnities
We account for guarantees in accordance with the guarantee accounting topic in the FASB Codification. Our customer contracts generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under those provisions, we generally agree, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with third party claims against the customer alleging that the customer’s use of our services and products in compliance with their license infringe the third party’s patent, copyright, or other intellectual property rights. Conditions to our obligations generally include that we are provided the right to control the defense of the claims and, in general, to control settlement negotiations. Those provisions generally provide also that, if the customer is prevented from using our services or products because of a third party infringement claim, our sole obligation (in addition to the indemnification, defense, and hold harmless obligation referred to above) is to, at our expense, (i) procure for the customer the right to continue to use the services or products, (ii) replace or modify the services or products so that the customer’s use does not infringe, or, if neither of these options is reasonably feasible, (iii) terminate that particular services or products and provide, as applicable, a refund of services fees paid for services not received or a refund of the unamortized portion of the license fees paid for the products (based on a five year amortization period). Our customer contracts sometimes also require us to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with death, personal injury or property damage claims made by third parties with respect to actions of our personnel or contractors. The indemnity obligations contained in our customer contracts generally have no specified expiration date and no specified monetary limitation on liability, but they do not cover indirect or consequential damages, such as our customers’ lost revenues or profits. We have not previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification obligations. We account for these indemnity obligations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's guidance on accounting for contingencies and record a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification obligations as of December 31, 2025, or 2024.
In general, in our customer contracts for purchase of our cloud SaaS services or license of our on-premises software products, we warrant that our services or software will perform in accordance with our published services or product specifications. Additionally,
55
we may include other warranties such as “no-malware” warranties and warranties that we will perform our SaaS services consistent with generally accepted industry standards or similar standards. In our SaaS services agreements, we also include service level agreements (SLAs) under which we agree to provide service credits to our customers if our services availability drops below certain defined levels. We also warrant to our customers that services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, we will provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims history. However, we have not incurred significant recurring expenses under product or service warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is nominal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Segment Information
We have three reportable segments as defined by the FASB Codification topic for segment reporting: Americas, EMEA, and APAC. See Note 8 for discussion of our reportable segments.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed using net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (“Weighted Shares”) for the period presented.
Diluted net income per share is computed using net income divided by Weighted Shares and the treasury stock method effect of common equivalent shares (CES) outstanding for each period presented. In the following table, we present a reconciliation of earnings per share and the shares used in the computation of earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except per share data):
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except per share data)
Earnings per share:
Weighted average number of shares:
The number of anti-dilutive CESs in 2025, 2024, and 2023 was immaterial.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments that are excluded from net income and reflected in shareholders’ equity. The entire accumulated other comprehensive income balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 represents foreign currency translation adjustments.
Accounting for Income Taxes
We provide for the effect of income taxes on our financial position and results of operations in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Under this accounting pronouncement, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and for the change in net deferred tax assets or liabilities resulting from events that are recorded for financial reporting purposes in a different reporting period than recorded in the tax return. Management must make significant assumptions, judgments, and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes and also our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recorded against our net deferred tax asset.
Our judgments, assumptions, and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws, allowable deductions, projected tax credits, and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. We recognize tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that they will be sustained on audit, and measure them at the largest amount greater than 50% likely to be realized. Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for
56
income taxes in our statement of financial position and our statements of income. Our assumptions, judgments, and estimates relative to the value of our net deferred tax asset take into account predictions of the amount and category of future taxable income. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render our current assumptions, judgments, and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate, thus materially impacting our financial position and results of operations.
Equity-Based Compensation
We account for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation. See Note 2 for further information.
Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $2.0 million in 2025, $1.8 million in 2024, and $2.4 million in 2023.
Retirement of Repurchased Shares
We immediately retire shares repurchased pursuant to any share repurchase program. We allocate the share purchase price in excess of par value between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires additional disclosure primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We have adopted the new accounting guidance within our income tax disclosures in Note 3.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), and in January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. We expect to adopt the updated accounting guidance in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2028 and for interim period reporting beginning in 2029, as required in ASU 2024-03 and further clarified by ASU 2025-01. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure for internal-use software costs, which removes references to software development project stages and considers different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. ASU 2025-06 requires an entity to capitalize software costs when: (1) Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) It is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold"). In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance but does not expect material changes to results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
2. Equity-Based Compensation
Equity Based Compensation Plans
In May 2020, the Manhattan Associates, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) was approved by our shareholders. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights. Vesting conditions can be service-based or performance-based, or a combination of both.
A maximum of 4,500,000 shares are available for grant under the amended 2020 Plan. Each stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, or restricted stock unit granted is counted against the maximum share limitation as one share. Options and stock appreciation rights cannot have a term exceeding seven years. As of December 31, 2025, there were 1,763,469 shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The committee has the authority to interpret the provisions thereof.
The restricted stock unit awards contain vesting provisions that are 50% service based and 50% performance based for employee awards and 100% service based for non-employee members of the Board of Directors (“Outside Directors”). The employee awards
57
have a four year vesting period, with the performance portion tied to annual revenue and operating income targets. The awards to Outside Directors have a one year vesting period. We recognize compensation cost for service-based restricted awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period, with the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date. For our performance-based restricted stock awards with graded vesting, we recognize compensation cost on an accelerated basis applying straight-line expensing for each separately vesting portion of each award. We utilize the price of our publicly traded shares to determine the fair value of restricted stock units on the grant date.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
We present below a summary of changes in unvested units of restricted stock during 2025:
Number of Units Grant Date Fair Value
The Company recorded equity-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and RSUs (collectively “restricted stock awards”) of $111.3 million, $93.2 million, and $71.6 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested in 2025, 2024, and 2023, based on market value at the vesting dates was $115.2 million, $127.1 million, $85.2 million, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during fiscal year 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $246.49, $201.54, and $127.51, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSU totaled $144.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years. We recognize forfeitures of equity-based payments as they occur.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 364,411 RSUs that have performance-based vesting criteria, which are tied to our financial performance. The performance-based RSUs granted in 2025 related to 2025 employee awards and 2024 above-target employee awards. As of December 31, 2025, the associated equity-based compensation expense has been recognized for the portion of the award attributable to the 2025 performance criteria.

3. Income Taxes
We are subject to future federal, state, and foreign income taxes and have recorded net deferred tax assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We present below significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (in thousands):
December 31,
Deferred tax assets:
Accounts receivable $ 646 $ 835
Foreign subsidiary net operating losses 61 -

We currently have a tax holiday in India under the Special Economic Zone Act through March 2029. As a result of this holiday, we had pre-tax income of approximately $18.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2025, $9.1 million of which was not subject to tax. The impact on diluted earnings per share if the income had been fully taxable would have been a decrease of $0.05 per share in 2025.
We have tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $3.7 million available to offset future state tax. These tax credit carry-forwards expire in 2028 to 2036. These credits represent a deferred tax asset of $3.0 million after consideration of the federal benefit of state tax deductions. We have foreign operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $0.1 million available to offset future foreign tax, which expire in 2030. A valuation allowance of $2.0 million has been established for these credits because the ability to use them is not more likely than not. We also have a tax credit carry-forward of approximately $5.6 million available to offset future foreign tax. This tax credit carryforward begins expiring in 2037.
The Company asserts permanent reinvestment on undistributed foreign earnings. The undistributed earnings and profits are considered previously taxed income and would not be subject to U.S. income taxes upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends. As the undistributed earnings and profits are considered to be permanently reinvested, no provision for local withholdings taxes have been provided, however, upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends, we could be subject to additional local withholding taxes.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes significant changes to U.S. corporate tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Notably, it allows an immediate deduction for domestic research and development expenditures, reinstates 100% bonus depreciation, and modifies international tax provisions. The acceleration of the deduction for domestic research and development expenditures reduces our cash taxes owed for 2025 and 2026.
60
We present below a summary of the items that cause recorded income taxes to differ from taxes computed using the statutory federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
December 31,
Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, $ (9,149 ) $ (9,688 ) $ (10,532 )
Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $12.1 million and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Included in these amounts are unrecognized tax benefits totaling $11.2 million and $8.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
61
We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within our global operations in income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized the following income tax expense: $0.5 million, $0.6 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, for the potential payment of interest and penalties. Accrued interest and penalties were $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. We conduct business globally and, as a result, file income tax returns in the United State federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-US income tax examinations for the years before 2015. Due to the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions globally during 2027, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $1.6 million.
4. Shareholders’ Equity
During 2025, 2024, and 2023, we purchased 1,451,019, 986,555, and 1,204,328 shares of the Company’s common stock for $274.5 million, $241.6 million, and $166.0 million, respectively, through open market transactions as part of a publicly-announced share repurchase program. In January 2026, our Board of Directors replenished the Company’s share repurchase authority to an aggregate of $100.0 million of our common stock.
We are subject to a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases as enacted by the United States Inflation Reduction Act which we include in the cost of stock repurchases as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. In 2025, we paid $1.6 million in excise tax related to 2024 repurchase and vesting activity.
5. Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of the ordinary course of business, and occasionally legal proceedings not in the ordinary course.
Many of our software products and services are critical to our customers’ business operations. Failures could result in claims against us for substantial damages, regardless of our level of responsibility for those failures. We attempt to limit contractually our liability for damages arising from product or service failures or our negligent acts or omissions, but there can be no absolute assurance that those limitations will be enforceable.
Although litigation and other legal proceeding outcomes are difficult to predict, we do not believe we are a party to any legal proceeding the result of which is likely to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We expense legal costs associated with loss contingencies as we incur them. We record insurance recoveries when received.
Among other proceedings, we are currently party to the lawsuits described below.
Securities Litigation
On February 25, 2025, an alleged Company shareholder filed a putative class action lawsuit, Prime v. Manhattan Associates, Inc., et al., No. 1:25-cv-00992-TRJ (N.D. Ga.), in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and certain of our current and former officers (the “Prime Action”). The complaint in the Prime Action alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under that act, based on purported materially false and misleading statements and omissions allegedly made by the defendants (the Company and named current and former officers) between October 22, 2024, and January 28, 2025. The complaint in the Prime Action sought class certification, unspecified monetary damages, and costs and attorneys’ fees. On April 15, 2025, another alleged Company shareholder filed a putative class action lawsuit, City of Orlando Police Officers’ Pension Fund v. Manhattan Associates, Inc., et al., No. 1:25-cv-02089-TRJ (N.D. Ga.), in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and certain of our current and former officers (the “City of Orlando Action”). The complaint in the City of Orlando Action alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 based on purported materially false and misleading statements and omissions allegedly made by the defendants between July 24, 2024, and February 7, 2025. The factual allegations underlying the claims in the City of Orlando Action were similar to the factual allegations made in the Prime Action. The complaint in the City of Orlando Action sought class certification, unspecified monetary damages, and costs and attorneys’ fees. On May 2, 2025, the Court consolidated the two actions (the “Consolidated Action”), and on May 23, 2025, the Court appointed the plaintiffs in the City of Orlando Action as the lead plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action. On July 22, 2025, the lead plaintiffs filed their Amended Complaint, in which the securities law violations alleged are the same as those alleged in the original actions and the proposed class period is the same as in the City of Orlando action. The defendants deny the material allegations in the Consolidated Action, which is still in the early stages and has not yet been certified as a class action, and intend to defend themselves vigorously. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Action on September 22, 2025, following which the plaintiffs filed their opposition on November 24, 2025, and the defendants filed their reply on December 22, 2025. The Court has set a hearing date on the motion for March 11, 2026. The Company maintains insurance that may cover defendants’ liability arising out of this litigation up to the policy limits and subject to meeting certain deductibles and to other terms and conditions. We are unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from, these proceedings.
62
Derivative Litigation
On September 22, 2025, a purported Company shareholder, Patrick Ayers, filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit, Ayers v. Capel, et al., No. 1:25-cv-05416-TRJ, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Ayers Action”). The Ayers Action names certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as defendants. The allegations in the Ayers Action overlap substantially with the allegations in the above-referenced Consolidated Action. The Ayers Action assert claims for alleged violations of the federal securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty, waste, and unjust enrichment. On October 14, 2025, the court entered an order staying the Ayers Action pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the Consolidated Action. We are unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from, these proceedings.

We sponsor the Manhattan Associates 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”), a qualified profit sharing plan with a 401(k) feature covering substantially all our employees. Since 2012, we have provided a 50% matching contribution up to 6% of eligible compensation being contributed after the participant’s first year of employment. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company expensed matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan of $8.9 million, $8.5 million, and $7.8 million, respectively.
7. Leases
We lease our facilities and some of our equipment under noncancelable operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates through 2036. The total operating lease liabilities for these leases at December 31, 2025 was approximately $61.1 million. For a few of our facility leases, we have certain options to extend the lease term for up to 10 years, at our sole discretion. We have no finance leases.

The total lease cost in 2024 was $9.3 million, consisting of $9.0 million of operating lease costs, and $0.3 million of short-term lease costs.

8. Segment Reporting
We manage our business by geographic segment and have three geographic reportable segments: the Americas (North, Latin and South America); Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific (APAC). All segments derive revenue from the sale and implementation of our supply chain commerce solutions. We operate in one operating segment (the Americas) because most of the Company's service offerings operate on the Manhattan platform and are deployed and sold in a nearly identical manner. The individual products sold by the segments are similar in nature and are all designed to help companies manage the effectiveness and efficiency of their supply chain commerce. We use the same accounting policies for each reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker (Chief Executive Officer) reviews the variances in each reportable segment’s operating income compared to prior periods and to budget on a monthly basis to evaluate performance and allocate resources (including employees, financial or capital).
The Americas segment charges royalty fees to the other segments based on cloud subscriptions and software licenses sold by those reportable segments. The royalties, which totaled $26.0 million, $18.9 million, and $13.7 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, are included in costs of revenue for each segment with a corresponding reduction in the America’s cost of revenue. The revenues represented below are from external customers only. The geography-based costs consist of costs for professional services personnel, direct sales and marketing expenses, infrastructure costs to support the employee and customer base, billing and financial systems, management and general and administrative support. There are certain corporate expenses included in the Americas segment that we do not charge to the other segments. Such expenses include research and development, stock compensation, certain marketing and general and administrative costs that support the global organization, and the amortization of acquired developed technology. Costs in the Americas’ segment include all research and development costs including the costs associated with our operations in India. Expense related to an unusual health insurance claim is included within "Operating expenses" within the Americas segment.
