Forward guidance

Bentley Systems narrowed its 2023 ARR growth outlook (constant currency business performance) to a range of 12% to 13% due to the momentum underlying a strong first half, offset by lower expectations for programmatic acquisition contributions this year, and particularly by the business model shift in China (from ARR) due to prevailing geopolitical concerns.
