Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bentley Systems, Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Bentley Systems, Incorporated” or the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, payments related to the Company’s interest rate swap were recognized in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and the corresponding prior period amounts, which were previously recognized in Interest expense, net, were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the amounts reclassified were not material, and Income before income taxes and Net income in the consolidated statements of operations did not change as a result of these reclassifications.
