Notes

(1) Based on comparison of historical revenue figures publicly

disseminated by companies in the ECM sector. All dollar amounts in

this press release are expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise

indicated.

(2) In addition to these GAAP and adjusted results, the Company has

provided financial information in the table below that adds-back

maintenance revenue eliminated due to the impact of purchase

accounting entries on deferred revenue and the impact of interest

expense. Management believes that the furnishing of these adjustments

provides a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and helps

to more accurately reflect Open Text's underlying operating results.

(3) Use of U.S. Non-GAAP financial measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP,

the Company provides adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share

(EPS), which are non U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company uses

adjusted EPS and adjusted net income to supplement the information

provided in its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in

accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes the provision of these

non U.S. GAAP measures allows investors to evaluate the operational and

financial performance of the Company's core business using the same

evaluation measures that management uses and is, therefore, a useful

indication of Open Text's performance or expected performance of

recurring operations and facilitates for period-to-period comparison of

operating performance.

The presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS is not meant to

be a substitute for net income or EPS presented in accordance with U.S.

GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a

supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. These non U.S. GAAP financial

measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized

meaning and thus the Company's definition may be different from similar

non U.S. GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts

and may differ from period to period. Thus, it may be more difficult to

compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies.

However, the Company's management attempts to compensate for these

limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in

the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS both in its

reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP financial measures of net income and EPS

and its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be

considered when evaluating the Company's results. Open Text strongly

encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety

and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are calculated as net income and net

income per share on a diluted basis, excluding, where applicable, the

effect of amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income

(expense), share-based compensation expense, and special charges

(recoveries), all net of tax. The Company's management believes that the

presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS provides useful

information to investors because it excludes non-operational charges and

is based on the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of

the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports and

makes operating decisions. The term "non-operational charge" is defined

by the Company as a charge that does not impact operating decisions taken

by the Company's management and excludes certain items, such as

amortization of acquired intangibles, other income (expense), share-based

compensation expense, special charges (recoveries), and the taxation

impact of these items.

based financial measures to non U.S. GAAP based financial measures
