First Quarter 2022 Highlights:

Revenue of $144.9 million increased 19% year-over-year on an actual currency basis, and 21% on a constant currency basis.

Non-GAAP revenue of $147.5 million increased 12% on an actual currency basis, and 14% on a constant currency basis.

We are extremely pleased with our strong first quarter results which built on the momentum from last year, said Yogesh Gupta, CEO at Progress. Customer demand and our execution remained solid, the integration of Kemp is on track and going very well, and the M&A deal pipeline remains robust. Although our financial exposure to Russia and Belarus is immaterial, we are nonetheless horrified by the geopolitical events and saddened by the humanitarian tragedy in Ukraine. Our hearts are with all of those in the region.
