Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
has been very strong for us
We have a cybersecurity in the SMB side, and Micro Focus is very strong in cybersecurity and the enterprise side
More AI, and continue to be very strong in profitability, cash flows and capital allocation
With Micro Focus, we've become even stronger
From the partner standpoint, Asia Pac and Europe remains very strong for us
And I would say, from a vertical perspective, the financial services is very strong for us
So the Americas has been strong for us, very strong
That's a very good business for us
Pharma and industrial are also equally strong
We were very strong and Micro Focus is equally strong
So needless to say, our installed base of customers is very strong
On the direct side, for where we sit in near $6 billion software company, we probably have the strongest enterprise software sales force for a our company our scale
That's excellent
And that in itself is an opportunity for a company like OpenText, where we're saying, we're seeing pipeline acceleration of cloud deals that will be 2 to 4 quarters out accelerated to today
Excellent
The sticker shock of AMC is very highly profitable, high profits and cash flows
Excellent
And the government sector is actually very interesting
As the time goes on, you will see the AI revenues pick up and the cloud revenues being more sustainable
I mean, the broad partner network, although we anchor on SAP and the hyperscalers, we have strong partnerships with those
That's going to give us tremendous visibility into the 7% to 9% revenue growth rate in fiscal '26
So again, at the top of the house is SAP, we are SAP's strongest and largest provider from an extended ECM perspective and all other aspects integrated with the ERP
OpenText has been fairly acquisitive over the years, but has now reached a significant revenue scale, customer scale, global reach
Well, that's really exciting to hear
Again, we can talk more, but the broad umbrella of information management, software provider and with really a mission to not just grow and help enterprises but to stay profitable and generate strong cash flow
And those 2 teams have maybe found their purpose in life, right? They're actually very excited
OpenText was always strong in Europe
And cloud bookings growth is top of the house for us and about 15% plus on an annual basis, upward 30% in adjusted EBITDA, 20% in free cash flow
Brett Klein Well, excellent
The platform Athena is really creating a platform that's AI-driven that's going to improve efficiency of coding from the engineer's perspective
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
On the SMB side, we did call out some headwinds and this is really tied to our sort of carbonite, we brew to the Zix business, association with Microsoft
Over 60% of the book of business we bought was renewals and Micro Focus was operationally very challenged from a node perspective, and we've made tremendous stride
So one, you mentioned when you bought the asset, it had kind of low 80s renewal rates, which for an enterprise software company, I guess, I'm a little surprised it was that low
Look, I think the best way to describe it is the company was -- had way too many priorities that we're not operationally equipped to manage
As some of you may know, the Micro Focus products were not all growing
The global TC shipment data that you've been seeing is what is impacting us
So we did not do that
Don't worry
Maybe we may pay a turn or more than we did in the past, and we don't subscribe to the those companies that have galactic growth rates perhaps and an entitlement to make losses and not produce cash flows
