CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — February 15, 2023 — Pegasystems Inc., the low-code platform provider empowering the world’s leading enterprises to Build for Change®, released its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2022.

“I’m pleased with our strong finish to 2022 and proud of our resilient team who performed so well in a year that included a number of major distractions and economic headwinds,” said Alan Trefler, Pega founder and CEO. “We have a tremendous opportunity in front of us as we move into 2023.

Discussion of non-GAAP financial measures

We believe that non-GAAP financial measures help investors understand our core operating results and prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts our performance without the effect of often one-time charges and other items outside our normal operations. The supplementary non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be superior to or a substitute for financial measures prepared under U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP and GAAP measures are at the end of this release.
