"OpenText is helping the world's leading brands digitize their business, both on- and off-premise, and our strategy is showing bright-line success supported by our strong fourth quarter performance. We ended fiscal year 2015 with total revenues of $1.9 billion, up 14% year-over-year, non-GAAP operating margin of 31% and operating cash flows of $523 million," said OpenText CEO Mark J. Barrenechea. "With a more directly aligned sales leadership team in place, our sales organization performed extremely well in Q4, closing 26 deals over $1 million (11 cloud and 15 license)."
Barrenechea further added, "Over the last four years, our non-GAAP operating margin has grown from 27% to 31%, and our cloud revenue from zero to 33%, all while maintaining consistent license revenue on an absolute basis. Our confidence continues into fiscal 2016 and we are raising our non-GAAP operating margin model range to 30% to 34% and raising our annual recurring revenue range to 82% to 86%."
In addition, Barrenechea added, "Today we announced a share buyback of up to $200 million and our quarterly dividend of 20 cents. We also re-affirm our intent to allocate $3 billion in capital to acquisitions in the coming years."
