Manhattan Associates Annual Report 2022 Push Possible®
Executive Board of
Officers Directors
Five or six years ago we saw that the relationships across the supply chain — between manufacturers,
wholesalers, retailers, associates and customers — were radically changing. There was a growing
demand for greater speed, efficiency, agility and innovation. Monolithic legacy systems were
never going to be able to meet the needs of unified global commerce. Only a modern, cloud-
native approach, one that was fully extensible, always current, and continuously imbued with new
capabilities, would empower the marketplace with the solutions it needed.
A half-decade into our transitional journey and we were able to deliver another record year in 2022.
In fact, three of the past five years produced record revenues, as well as strong operating earnings.
This remarkable performance, amidst the long tail of the global pandemic, is a testament both to
the strength of our technology and our team’s dedication and resilience. Adoption of our Manhattan
Active® cloud solutions continues to increase nicely, with cloud revenue up 44% over 2021. It now
represents nearly 90% of our total software revenue.
Diving a little deeper into the numbers, in 2022 we set a new, full-year, total revenue record of $767
million — a 16% increase — led by strong demand for our solutions. In addition, we set all-time records
in cashflow, earnings per share and RPO (Remaining Performance Obligation). We strive for our
results to be balanced between revenue growth and profitability and we believe that our performance
has created a healthy combination that compares favorably to the “Rule of 40.” RPO, the leading
indicator of our growth, totaled $1.05 billion at year end — up 50% over 2021 — and we ended 2022
with $225 million in cash reserves and $0 debt.
As we enter 2023, we anticipate that Manhattan is well positioned to achieve another record year.
We believe that we maintain a clear technology advantage relative to our competition, and as you
know, the past few years have shone a spotlight on the importance of supply chains. Organizations
have reacted by devoting more focus and more spend to upgrading and optimizing their capabilities.
Our consistent investment strategy has created an opportunity for us to capitalize on the near-
universal need for modern, adaptable, supply chain solutions.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Demand is high for Manhattan’s flagship products. We have signed approximately 100 customers
across 12 countries for Manhattan Active Warehouse Management alone — all in less than two years.
It’s encouraging that almost 50% of those deals are with brands that are new to the Manhattan
family. In transportation, the market has taken a strong interest in Manhattan Active Transportation
Management, which launched a year after Manhattan Active Warehouse Management, in May of
2021. We are closing deals and filling the pipeline to capture even more market share this year.
Manhattan Active Omni continues to be a leader in the global market and our more recently released
retail Point of Sale and store systems solutions are picking up some very nice momentum.
True to the Manhattan spirit, we have no plans to rest. In the coming year, we plan to increase our
R&D investment to about $110 million. This commitment to innovation is fuel for our future success,
allowing us to develop ambitious new capabilities that solve emerging market needs.
As we see it, global conditions, market demand and our business strategy are all in alignment.
Because we engineered Manhattan Active applications from the ground up as truly cloud native,
they’re able to drive meaningfully different business outcomes for our customers. One of the most
important — and differentiated — ways is by enabling real-time process agility with an ability to
react to instantaneous changes. Driven by advanced, underlying technology across WMS, TMS
and OMS, our solutions are built to adapt in real time to meet changing market needs.
That could mean empowering a consumer to change an order’s delivery location just hours after
placing it, or a business customer to modify quantities or add products to an order that’s already
deep into a fulfillment cycle. Advanced agility can also bring the ability to manage change in
operational factors like early or late shipments, volatility in labor availability, or unpredictable order
volumes, in meaningful ways.
With all our major products now on the same revolutionary, cloud-native platform, going forward
we anticipate a growing need — and desire from our markets — for the adaptability and unification
that only Manhattan is at the forefront of offering.
It’s a very exciting time to be leading in the supply chain technology market, and the potential
advances extend well beyond running in the cloud. Manhattan Active applications use myriad
optimization techniques, including machine learning, heuristics and other forms of contextual and
generative artificial intelligence, to ensure our customers are maximizing profitability and precision
on every element of their supply chains.
But beyond our technology, products and differentiated capabilities, I believe the secret to
Manhattan’s success is our culture. Time and again, our global teams inspire awe at their ability to
execute and support customers in an ever-changing landscape. Much of that is thanks to hiring and
retaining the industry’s most experienced and talented workforce. This coming year, we will keep
investing in our people, with a goal of adding about 500 new team members to meet our continuing
growth aspirations and market demand.
As a progressive, people-first organization, we are always aware of the complex cultural and
socioeconomic changes occurring in our world. We will continually reevaluate and be ready to adapt
our corporate practices to match — and where we can help drive — the positive transformations
occurring in the world today.
At Manhattan, our purpose is to create possibilities that move life and commerce forward. As we
drive innovation that fuels supply chain modernization and transforms customer experiences, we
also feel an obligation to the greater good. That means a continued dedication to the environment,
supporting a diverse and inclusive workplace, and strengthening the communities where we live
and work.
Last year we commited to expanding our focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
matters. I continue to spearhead a cross-functional, ESG steering committee that is overseen by
our Board of Directors. In 2022, we launched our ESG-specific website and published our inaugural
ESG Disclosure Summary and we currently hold an A rating from MSCI.
As I reflect on the many successes at Manhattan, I am humbled at the opportunity to lead your
company. I truly value both the efforts of our growing employee family and your investment in the
organization as shareholders. Thank you for continuing this journey with us. We are gratified that
2022 was another record year. I feel confident in saying that our financial strength and strategy, and
your support, position us well in 2023 and into the future. Onward and upward.

PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
Manhattan Associates was founded in 1990 in Manhattan Beach, California and incorporated in Georgia in 1998. References in this
filing to the “Company,” “Manhattan,” “Manhattan Associates,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Manhattan Associates, Inc., our
predecessors, and our wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries. Our principal executive offices are located at 2300 Windy Ridge
Parkway, Tenth Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, and our telephone number is 770-955-7070.
We develop, sell, deploy, service and maintain software solutions designed to manage supply chains, inventory and omnichannel
operations for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other organizations. Our customers include many of the
world’s premier and most profitable brands. Our Manhattan Active® applications are run in the cloud and delivered as subscription-
based software as a service (SaaS), and its architecture is highly differentiated among enterprise application providers, particularly
within the Omni Channel and Supply Chain categories. Our microservice based architecture delivers a versionless yet highly
extensible experience for our customers. We offer our customers access to new innovation on a quarterly basis, ensuring all customers
are running on a single fully up-to-date codebase. Manhattan Active also provides zero downtime updates, so access to innovation is
delivered seamlessly into customer environments without the need for planned maintenance windows.
Specifically, Manhattan Associates develops modern commerce solutions that help its customers in three distinct areas of their
business:
• Supply Chain - We provide companies the tools needed to manage distribution and optimize transportation costs throughout
their entire commercial network. Manhattan’s Warehouse Management solutions are widely regarded as industry-leading
systems designed to optimize productivity and throughput in distribution centers and warehouses around the world. Our
software helps optimize fulfillment models to support our customers across a wide range of channels and fulfillment methods.
Likewise, we design our offerings with the aim of providing shippers and carriers the most comprehensive transportation
management solutions in the market. This includes software to help them move freight via the most cost-effective means
possible while also meeting service-level expectations, to model their transportation network, and to automate the procurement-
to-pay process.
• Omnichannel - Meeting ever-evolving consumer expectations of service, inventory availability, and delivery convenience is a
challenge every merchant must meet head on. Manhattan’s Omnichannel solutions provide an operating platform for digital
commerce, retailers, and wholesale businesses. Comprising Order Management, Store Inventory Fulfillment, Call Center, Point
of Sale, and Customer Engagement as its core applications, Manhattan Omnichannel solutions provide CRM capabilities for
contact center agents; end-to-end process enablement for store associates, and enterprise-wide inventory availability
determination, order fulfillment optimization, and point of sale capabilities.
• Inventory – Manhattan’s solutions provide distributors of finished goods (apparel, food, auto parts, pharmaceuticals, etc.) the
ability to forecast demand, determine when, where and how much inventory is needed, and translate this into a profitable
inventory buying plan. These areas are ever more complex and critical to profitability as more wholesalers and retailers engage
in omnichannel operations. Through the use of advanced science and sophisticated analytics, customer service level is
maximized with the minimum necessary inventory investment. Industry changes driven by omnichannel retail, pharmaceutical
regulations and other trends make this an area of particular need for many retailers and wholesale distributors.

expanded set of so-called end-to-end capabilities. As complexity continues to grow for our customers, Manhattan provides value
by eliminating the need to design, build and maintain complex system to system integration.
As previously described, Manhattan’s Supply Chain Solutions are focused on the distribution and transportation operations of the
enterprise. There are three main components of Manhattan’s Supply Chain Solutions:
• Distribution Management - These applications comprise Manhattan’s Warehouse Management Solutions (WMS) commonly
used to manage the complexity of the modern distribution center. WMS manages the flow of goods and information across the
distribution center. WMS is now delivered for new and upgrading customers in the form of Manhattan Active Warehouse
Management (MAWM), a cloud native and versionless application that delivers new innovation on a quarterly basis. Manhattan
Active WM runs on Google Cloud Platform, is offered exclusively via subscription, and includes state of the art fulfillment
optimization technology, a consumer grade mobile app experience for the associate; and embedded gamification capabilities to
improve associate engagement and performance. Manhattan Active WM is fully configurable and technically extensible,
meaning customers can build their own componentry to work alongside our base application. Manhattan Active WM also
embeds labor management and slotting optimization capabilities. Manhattan’s WMS customers benefit from its embedded
warehouse execution system that coordinates the interaction between automation, robotics and labor for maximum efficiency.
Manhattan’s WMS also enables the efficient utilization of a single distribution center for direct-to-consumer, retail
replenishment and high-volume wholesale fulfilment. Our WMS provides the customer the most productive operation that can
scale to meet the highest demands during peak season while operating effectively and profitably throughout the course of the
year.
• Transportation Management - Organizations today face a complex transportation environment with ever-changing demands
driven by macro-economic trends and governmental regulations. Manhattan’s Transportation Management Solutions (TMS) are
designed to help shippers navigate their way through these demands while meeting customer service expectations at the lowest
possible freight costs. TMS components include procurement and modeling tools to setup a successful network, along with
planning, execution and settlement tools to manage day-to-day transportation requirements. Our TMS can also connect shippers
with a network of partners that can increase shipping capacity on an as-needed basis. Manhattan Carrier is a suite of solutions
built specifically to help motor carriers optimize load assignments, minimize fuel costs, manage drivers’ hours of service and
accommodate demand fluctuations.
• Visibility - Visibility into the movement of goods between locations in the supply chain and outside the enterprise’s realm of
control is crucial to effective supply chain management. Manhattan provides best in class visibility and event management tools
that not only alerts our customer when events occur in the global supply chain, but also when they don’t occur (such as missing
a vessel overseas), as that can have a cascading effect on production lines, freight and most importantly, customer commitments.
Omnichannel Solutions
As omnichannel retail has placed new demands on organizations, it has also created new software solution needs. These
range from the ability to leverage inventory across the entire network to meet any demand, to providing store associates and call
center representatives the means to take advantage of the available inventory. Our Manhattan Active Omni set of solutions brings
together Order Management, Store Inventory & Fulfillment, Point of Sale and Customer Engagement tools into a single
application built on a shared, cloud-native, microservices platform. This architecture enables our customers to more easily expand
their systems to include more capabilities and quarterly product enhancements while always maintaining their customizations.

• Enterprise Omnichannel Solutions - There is a wide range of new capabilities that must be leveraged at a corporate or
‘central’ level in retail today to enable best-in-class customer service, full inventory visibility, direct to client distribution and
seamless fulfillment operations. Our goal is to enable an omnichannel commerce platform that can be tapped into by any selling
system—such as webstore, ERP, point-of-sale, call center, and mobile app, to more cost-effectively promise and then meet
delivery dates. Manhattan’s Enterprise Inventory builds out a complete inventory availability picture that can be updated in
near-real time with feeds from the warehouse, the store and other fulfillment locations in the network. Enterprise Order
Management merges this inventory availability data with demand feeds from across the organization to match supply with
demand satisfying customer delivery expectations while striving to maximize revenue and profitability. Finally, Manhattan
offers a unique Customer Engagement solution that enables contact center associates to see a holistic view of the customer,
including a complete customer sales and interaction history, to better satisfy shopper needs while optimizing potential revenue
and profit opportunities through new orders, exchanges or a returns. Manhattan Active Omni now also includes a set of Digital
Self-Service capabilities, allowing consumers to manage their orders after they have placed them.
• Omnichannel Solutions for the Store - As the consumer enters the store with more information than ever, it is vital to equip
the sales associate with relevant information and capabilities to satisfy their demands. Store solutions include Point of Sale,
available on mobile and fixed stations, to process purchase transactions and Customer Engagement to provide the associate with
a complete picture of the shopper’s purchase history. Manhattan brings these solutions together on a single mobile platform to
enable retailers to offer unparalleled service and convenience for the shopper.
• Another important part of the Manhattan Active store offering is Store Inventory and Fulfillment. Most retailers are now looking
to leverage store inventory to fulfill ecommerce demand (driving greater sales revenue with less inventory). This requires
solutions that can accurately maintain inventory integrity and enable productive, reliable fulfillment. Manhattan’s Store
Fulfillment solutions provide store associates with capabilities that power fulfillment experiences like buy online, pickup in
store, curbside pickup, same day delivery and ship from store.
Inventory Solutions
The ability to accurately forecast demand and project inventory needs is heightened by omnichannel retail requirements that change
traditional approaches to inventory management. Manhattan’s Inventory solutions address which products should be carried and the
quantity that will be needed at each location by date.
• Inventory Optimization - This set of applications includes sophisticated demand forecasting capabilities that can address the
particularly challenging slow-moving and intermittent products that frequently result in excess inventory due to unpredictability.
Also included is the Replenishment module that can evaluate inventory needs across all locations and channels. This module can
even suggest transferring inventory between locations (warehouses or stores) or ‘protect’ merchandise at a store from online
sales to save it for walk-in traffic.
• Planning - Manhattan’s Planning solutions provide merchants the tools they need to create channel-, store- or region-specific
assortments. These tools offer channel-specific metrics and methodologies that optimize the planning process and maximize
retailer revenues.
• Allocation – Manhattan’s Allocation is designed to serve the softlines/apparel market. It provides inventory planning
capabilities from first receipt in the distribution center through to the end of season for a given assortment. Built on the
Manhattan Active architecture, Manhattan Active Allocation is cloud native, versionless, runs on Google Cloud Platform and
updated on a quarterly basis.
Technology Platform
To fulfill increasing market demand for software-as-a-service models, Manhattan offers Manhattan Active Platform solutions –
cloud-native products designed to provide “always current” version-less product access. The server side full stack runs exclusively on
Google Cloud Platform, and end users can access the system from almost any type of device – mobile, tablet or desktop. Manhattan
Active solutions are sold directly in multi-year cloud subscription arrangements, typically for a period of five years or more, providing
clients with regular software updates during the contract period to ensure access to the latest product features and benefiting
Manhattan with a highly predictable and regular revenue stream.
Part of the key value proposition of Manhattan Active Platform is extensibility. In addition to the business configurability offered
within each line of business application, Manhattan Active Platform also allows our customers to change the underlying data model,
the user interface, and the core business logic within each application. Key to this process is Manhattan ProActive, our developer
enablement toolkit which allows for the types of technical modifications noted above (and more). While we don’t charge separately
for Manhattan ProActive (it comes as part to the subscription to any Manhattan Active Platform application), we do enhance it on the
same cadence as we do our line of business application, i.e. quarterly.
6
As omnichannel and supply chain solutions necessarily interact with other business operation systems, our solutions are designed
to interoperate with software from other providers as well as with a company’s existing legacy systems. This interfacing and open
system capability enables customers to continue using existing computer resources and to choose among a wide variety of existing and
emerging computer hardware and peripheral technologies. We also offer certain solutions in either on-premise software or cloud
computing models so that customers can select the option that best meets their requirements for control, flexibility, cost of ownership
and time-to-deployment.
Maintenance
We offer a comprehensive program that provides our on-premises software licensees with software upgrades for additional or
improved functionality and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry advances. We are able to
remotely access customer systems to perform diagnostics, provide online assistance, and facilitate software upgrades. We offer 24-
hour customer support 365 days in the year plus software upgrades for a pre-paid annual fee based on the specific solutions the
customer has and the service level required. We provide software upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis.
Professional Services
We advise and assist our customers in planning and implementing our solutions through our global Professional Services
Organization. To ensure successful long-term customer relationships, consultants assist customers with the initial deployment of our
systems, the conversion and transfer of the customer’s historical data onto our systems, and ongoing training, education and system
upgrades. We believe our Professional Services teams enable customers to implement our solutions knowledgeably and in the
appropriate amount of time, help customers achieve expected results from system investments, continuously identify new
opportunities for supply chain advancements and meaningfully add to our industry-specific knowledge base to improve future
implementations and product innovations.
Substantially all of our customers utilize some portion of our Professional Services to implement and support our software
solutions. Professional Services typically are rendered under time and materials contracts, with services billed by the hour.
Professional Services sometimes are rendered under fixed-fee contracts, with payments due on specific dates or milestones. We
believe that increased sales of our solutions will drive higher demand for our Professional Services.
Our Professional Services team delivers deep supply chain and enterprise commerce domain expertise to our customers through
industry-specific “best-practices” protocols and processes developed through the collective knowledge we have gained from 30 years
of implementing our supply chain solutions worldwide. We also extensively train our consulting personnel on enterprise commerce
operations and on our solutions.
Our business consultants, systems analysts and technical personnel assist customers in all phases of implementing our systems,
including planning and design, customer-specific module configuration, on-site implementation or conversion from existing systems
and integration with customer systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning, web- and mobile-based commerce platforms, and
Material Handling Equipment systems. At times, third-party consultants, such as those from major systems integrators, assist our
customers with certain implementations.
We offer Manhattan Training and Change Management Services under six categories: Role-Based Training Paths, Comprehensive
Training Programs, Change Management Services, Individual Product Training Courses, End-User Enablement and Knowledge
Resources.
Hardware Sales
As a convenience for our customers, we resell a variety of hardware developed and manufactured by others, including computer
hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, radio frequency identification (RFID) chip readers, bar code printers and scanners, and
other peripherals. We resell all third-party hardware products and related maintenance pursuant to agreements with manufacturers or
7
through distributor-authorized reseller agreements pursuant to which we are entitled to purchase hardware products and services at
discount prices and to receive technical support in connection with product installations and any subsequent product malfunctions. We
do not maintain hardware inventory as we generally purchase hardware from vendors only after receiving related customer orders.
Strategy
Our objective is to extend our position as the leading global commerce solutions provider for organizations intent on creating and
sustaining market advantages through technology-enabled commerce solutions. Our solutions help global distributors, wholesalers,
retailers, logistics providers and manufacturers successfully manage accelerating and fluctuating market demands, as well as master
the increasing complexity and volatility of their local and global supply chains. Our solutions are advanced, highly functional and
highly scalable. They are designed to enable organizations to: create customer experiences consistent with their brand values; improve
relationships with suppliers, customers and logistics providers; leverage investments across supply chain functions; effectively
generate revenue and manage costs; and meet dynamically changing customer requirements. We believe our solutions are uniquely
positioned to holistically optimize the way companies bring together omnichannel, supply chain and inventory management:
Develop and Enhance Software Solutions. We continue to focus our research and development resources on enhancing our Supply
Chain, Omnichannel Commerce and Inventory Solutions. We offer what we believe to be the broadest and most richly featured
software portfolio in the marketplace. To continually expand functionality and value, we provide enhancements to existing solutions
and introduce new solutions to address evolving industry standards and market needs. We identify these opportunities through our
Product Management, Professional Services, Customer Support and Account Management organizations, through interactions such as
ongoing customer consulting engagements and implementations, sessions with our solution user groups, association with leading
industry analyst and market research firms and participation on industry standards and research committees. Our solutions address
needs in various vertical markets, including retail, consumer goods, food and grocery, logistics service providers, industrial and
wholesale, high technology and electronics, life sciences and government. We intend to continue to enhance our solutions to meet the
dynamic requirements of these and new vertical markets as business opportunities dictate.
Expand International Presence. Our solutions offer significant benefits to customers in markets around the world, and for
organizations with global operations. We have offices in Australia, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives in Mexico and reseller partnerships in Latin
America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Asia. Our Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) operations support
sales, implementation services, and customer support functions for customers in Europe, as well as a number of customers across the
Middle East, concentrated in countries we consider politically and economically stable. Our Asia Pacific (APAC) operations service
emerging opportunities in China, Southeast Asia, and India, as well as more established markets in Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
Our emerging markets international strategy includes leveraging the strength of our relationships with current U.S. and Europe-based
customers that also have significant international operations.
Strategic Alliances and Indirect Sales Channels. We currently sell our products primarily through our direct sales personnel, and
through partnership agreements with a select number of organizations in emerging markets where we do not currently have a direct
sales presence. We have worked on joint projects and joint sales initiatives with industry-leading consultants and software systems
implementers, including most of the large consulting firms specializing in our targeted industries, to supplement our direct sales force
and professional services organization. We expand our indirect sales channels through reseller agreements, marketing agreements, and
agreements with third-party logistics providers. These alliances extend our market coverage and provide us with new business leads
and access to trained implementation personnel.
Acquire or Invest in Complementary Businesses. We evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities of technologies, solutions and
businesses that are consistent with our platform-based strategy and enable us to enhance and expand our offerings. Preferred
acquisition targets are those that would complement our existing solutions and technologies, expand our geographic presence and
distribution channels, extend our presence into additional vertical markets with challenges and requirements similar to those we
currently serve, and further solidify our leadership position within the primary components of supply chain planning and execution.
8
industry events, joint marketing with strategic partners, and targeted lead generation through account-based marketing. We also host
our annual Momentum and Exchange user conferences, webinars, and regional user groups where the Manhattan community comes
together to connect on important topics and each other, get inspired to drive their digital transformation, and get educated on
Manhattan solutions and offerings.
Our sales cycle typically begins with the generation of a sales lead — through in-house marketing efforts, advertising, targeted
promotions, web inquiries, trade show presence, speaking engagements, hosted seminars, or other means of referral — or the receipt
of a request for proposal from a prospective customer. Leads are qualified and opportunities are closed through a process that includes
telephone-based assessments of requirements, responses to requests for proposals, presentations and product demonstrations, site visits
and reference calls with organizations already using our supply chain solutions, and contract negotiations. Sales cycles vary
substantially from opportunity to opportunity, but typically require nine to twelve months.
In addition to new customer sales, we continue to leverage our existing customer base to drive revenue from system upgrades, sales
of additional licenses of purchased solutions, and sales of new or add-on solutions. To efficiently penetrate emerging global markets,
we leverage indirect sales channels, including sales through reseller agreements, marketing agreements, and agreements with third-
party logistics providers. To extend our market coverage, generate new business leads, and provide access to trained implementation
personnel, we leverage strategic alliances with systems integrators skilled at implementing our solutions. Business referrals and leads
are positively influenced by systems integrators, which include most of the large consulting firms and other systems consulting firms
specializing in our targeted industries.
Our Manhattan Value Partner (Manhattan MVP™) and Manhattan GeoPartner™ programs foster joint sales and marketing with
other organizations. Manhattan Value Partners are proven software and hardware providers, trusted third-party integrators and
consultants who bring added value to customer engagements through vertical industry knowledge or technical specialization.
Manhattan MVPs support and complement our supply chain solutions so we can provide customers with a comprehensive approach
that is suited to their business requirements. This collaborative program is designed to benefit both Manhattan and our partners
through tailored joint marketing, sales and, in some cases, co-development efforts. Among others, Manhattan MVPs include Google
Cloud, Deloitte, Accenture, Cognizant, Zebra, and Honeywell. Manhattan GeoPartners represent a select group of companies that sell
and implement our solutions in specific geographies around the world, each providing valuable localized expertise to meet customer
needs in areas such as Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region.
Customers
To date, our customers have been suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and logistics providers in a variety of industries.
Our top five customers (new or pre-existing) in the aggregate accounted for 11%, 12%, and 12% of total revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2022 (“2022”), the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021”) and the year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020”),
respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Product Development
We focus our development efforts on new product innovation and on adding new functionality to existing solutions; integrating our
various solution offerings; and enhancing the operability of our solutions across our platform and across distributed and alternative
hardware platforms, operating systems, and database systems. We believe that our future success depends, in part, on our ability to
continue to enhance existing solutions, respond to dynamically changing customer requirements and develop new or enhanced
solutions that incorporate new technological developments and emerging supply chain and industry standards. To that end,
development frequently focuses on base system enhancements and incorporating new user requirements and features into our
solutions. As a result, we deliver packaged, highly configurable solutions with increasingly rich functionality rather than custom-
developed software. We also deliver interface toolkits for many major ERP systems to enhance communication and improve data
flows between our core solutions and our customers’ host systems.
We leverage internal and external scientific advisors to inform our solution strategies and research and development approaches
with the most advanced thinking on supply chain opportunities, challenges and technologies. Our internal research team is comprised
of Ph.D.-credentialed math and science experts who work on creating and solving algorithms and other constructs that advance the
optimization capabilities and other aspects of our solutions. We also regularly communicate with and are advised by experts from
leading educational institutions known for their supply chain disciplines and practitioners from organizations deploying supply chain
technology in innovative and market-advancing ways. Together, our research team and external advisors inform both the practical
business approaches and the mathematical and scientific inventiveness of our solutions.
We conduct most research and development internally in the U.S. and India to retain domain knowledge and promote programming
continuity standards. However, we may periodically outsource some projects that can be performed separately or that require special
9
skills. We also use third-party translation companies to localize our application software into various languages including Chinese,
French, Japanese and Spanish.
Competition
Our solutions are solely focused on enterprise commerce capabilities. Our solutions help global distributors, wholesalers, retailers,
logistics providers and manufacturers successfully manage accelerating and fluctuating market demands, as well as master the
increasing complexity and volatility of their local and global supply chains. Our solutions are designed to enable organizations to:
create customer experiences consistent with their brand values; improve relationships with suppliers, customers and logistics
providers; leverage investments across supply chain functions; effectively generate revenue and manage costs; and meet dynamically
changing customer requirements characterized by rapid technological change in an intensely competitive environment. The principal
competitive factors affecting the markets for our solutions include: industry expertise; company and solution reputation; company
viability; compliance with industry standards; solution architecture; solution functionality and features; integration experience,
particularly with ERP providers and material handling equipment providers; ease and speed of implementation; proven return on
investment; historical and current solution quality and performance; total cost of ownership; solution price; and ongoing solution
support structure. We believe we compete favorably with respect to each of these factors.
Our competitors are diverse and offer a variety of solutions directed at various aspects of enterprise commerce. Existing
competitors include:
• Corporate information technology departments of current or potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;
• ERP vendors, including: Oracle, SAP and Infor, among others;
• Supply chain execution and planning vendors, including Blue Yonder/Panasonic (formerly JDA), Korber (formerly HighJump),
SAS Institute, the Sterling Commerce division of IBM, Relex, and others;
• Point of sale vendors, including Aptos, Oracle, and others; and
• Smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to develop supply chain execution solutions or planning
solutions that apply either globally or in specific countries.
We anticipate ongoing competition from ERP and supply chain management (SCM) applications vendors and from business
application software vendors that may broaden their solution offerings by internally developing or acquiring or partnering with
independent developers of supply chain planning and execution software. Some of these ERP and other potential competitors have
longer operating histories; significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources; greater name recognition; broader
solutions; and larger installed bases of customers than us. To the extent that ERP and SCM vendors or other large competitors develop
or acquire systems with functionality comparable or superior to ours, their larger customer bases, long-standing customer relationships
and ability to offer broader solutions outside the scope of supply chain could create significant competitive advantage for them. It also
is possible that new competitors or alliances among current or new competitors could emerge to win significant market share.
Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced earnings and margins and loss of market share.
In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
We believe we have established meaningful competitive differentiation through our supply chain and omnichannel commerce
expertise; our platform-based solution approach; our track record of continuous supply chain commerce innovation and investment;
our strong and endorsing customer relationships; our significant success in deploying and supporting supply chain, inventory and
omnichannel solutions for market-leading companies; our success in helping our clients address the enterprise impacts of digital
commerce; and our ability to out-execute others in identifying sales opportunities and demonstrating expertise throughout the sales
cycle. However, to further our market success, we must continue to respond promptly and effectively to economic consumption
models such as cloud subscription, technological change and competitors’ innovations. Consequently, we cannot assure that we will
not be required to make substantial additional investments in research, development, marketing, sales and customer service efforts in
order to meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete successfully in the future.
10
Proprietary Rights
We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark and trade dress laws, confidentiality procedures and
contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our products, processes and technology. We have registered trademarks for
Manhattan Associates and the Manhattan Associates logo, as well as a number of our products and features. Generally, we enter into
confidentiality and assignment-of-rights agreements with our employees, consultants, customers and potential customers and limit
access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information. We provide our SaaS services and license our proprietary products to our
customers under services contracts and license agreements that we believe contain appropriate use and other restrictions in order to try
to best protect our ownership of our services and products and our proprietary rights and to protect our revenue potential. However,
despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we cannot ensure that we will successfully deter misappropriation,
unintended disclosure or independent third-party development of our technology or our proprietary rights or information. Policing
unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and, while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software
solutions exists, as is the case with any software company, piracy could become a problem. Further, to the extent that we enter into
transactions in countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced, our efforts to protect our
proprietary rights may be ineffective. Whether we seek to enforce our proprietary rights in the U.S. or abroad, our efforts, including
litigation to enforce our rights, can result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, and such efforts, or our failure to succeed in
such efforts, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, regardless of
the final outcome.
As the number of supply chain management solutions available in the marketplace increases and solution functionality continues to
overlap, supply chain software may increasingly become subject to claims of infringement or other misappropriation of intellectual
property. Third parties may assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us relating to our products, processes or
technology. Such claims, whether or not they have merit, generally are time-consuming and may result in costly litigation, divert
management’s attention or cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Defense of
infringement or other misappropriation claims, entering into royalty or licensing agreements, the unavailability of such agreements, or
adverse determinations in proprietary rights litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash
flow and financial condition.
At Manhattan, employees are our most-valued asset and are the key to our success. We have offices in Australia, Chile, China,
France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as
representatives in Mexico and reseller partnerships in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Asia. As of
December 31, 2022, we employed approximately 4,150 employees worldwide.
Diversity & Inclusion: Our workforce is highly educated and diverse, which we believe is important for our continued success as a
leading innovator in supply chain and omnichannel commerce software and services. Our employees comprise software developers,
engineers, and other technical workers and professionals in business operations and administration. Manhattan’s PRISMTM embodies
our long-standing global diversity and inclusion strategy and is driven by team members with a passion for creating an innovative and
inclusive environment. It brings our diverse cultures together to form a collective brilliance in an environment where individuals from
all backgrounds and experiences can feel comfortable as themselves. Through PRISM, we offer our Women’s Initiative Network
(WINTM) and our Multicultural Network (MCNTM). We also have a dedicated learning path for all employees regarding diversity and
inclusion.
Talent Acquisition, Retaining, and Engagement: We employ several strategies for attracting, retaining, and engaging our talented
workforce. To build a steady and diverse pipeline of talent, we have a robust in-house recruiting program, which includes campus
recruiting focused on universities with leading supply chain, engineering, and computer science programs. Further, we employ
recruiting processes that mitigate unconscious biases and promote diverse candidate pools. Additionally, we cultivate partnerships
with organizations focused on hiring women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans, including Circa, Technologists of
Color, and Society of Women Engineers. Our campus programs include recruitment at historically black colleges and universities
(HBCUs) and other schools with a high percentage of females and minorities enrolled in engineering and computer science programs.
Further, as a federal contractor, we comply with federal contractor affirmative action requirements to employ and advance women,
minorities, individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans.
To attract and retain employees, we provide competitive compensation and benefits programs, employee recognition, career
development opportunities, and access to continual growth through online learning platforms, external training, and in-house live
training.
To further employee enrichment and engagement, we periodically survey our employees regarding their engagement levels. We use
these survey results to determine how we can continue to create work environments that enable and energize our employees and to
develop a positive culture. None of our U.S. employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement; our employees in both France
11
(approximately 160 employees) and the Netherlands (approximately 90 employees) are represented by employee works councils.
Globally, we have experienced no work stoppages, and we believe our relations with our employees are strong.
Social Responsibility: At Manhattan, we provide opportunities for our employees to take a full day each year to give back to their
communities. We call this our Manhattan PurposeTM day. We also give our employees multiple opportunities to serve through
community partnerships that we cultivate through our Manhattan ConnectTM program.
Well-being: We support the mental, emotional, physical, and financial well-being of our employees around the world with various
company-provided programs and self-service tools, including free virtual mental health counseling, free gym access in certain
locations, and free educational webinars, speakers, and other resources for personal financial and benefit plan management. In 2022,
we hired our first director of global well-being, who oversees our well-being programs and continues to look for ways to enhance our
offerings.

The effects of a pandemic or major public health concern such as the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
outbreak of the novel coronavirus, and the disease it causes, COVID-19, a pandemic. The pandemic spread throughout the U.S. and
the world and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures from time to time to contain the virus, including travel
bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. While we are unable to completely
predict the full impact that a pandemic and related remedial measures will have on our results from operations, financial condition,
liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment
measures, our compliance with these measures could impact our day-to-day operations and could disrupt our business and operations,
as well as that of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties, for an indefinite period of time.
The negative effects of a global pandemic such as COVID-19 on the overall economy could cause our revenues and profitability to
decline for numerous reasons, including:
• Our customers could implement cost-saving measures, which may include reductions in information technology expense or
requests for extended payment terms;
• Some customers could file for bankruptcy;
• Forced store closures could accelerate pre-existing disruption in the retail sector; and/or
12
• The spending habits of our customers’ customers could change, reducing our customers’ own revenues and profitability,
which in turn could affect our revenues and profitability.
While we have experienced strong demand during 2022 and expect continued growth for our cloud solutions, sales cycles could
extend as our customers and prospects continue to evaluate our solutions, including Manhattan Active Warehouse Management.
In addition, restrictions on in-person interaction, whether occasioned by government orders or changed habits or customs regarding
social distancing and group activity after the expiration of strict government measures, may have a material impact on our business.
For instance, implementation of our software may be impeded if either our personnel or our customer’s information technology
personnel are working remotely.
A decrease in revenues could also negatively affect our liquidity, as we primarily rely on cash generated from operating activities
for our liquidity needs. Compounding this issue, a pandemic may make outside capital less available or more expensive.
Our future revenue is dependent on continuing sales from cloud subscriptions, which in turn drive sales of professional
services. We are dependent on our new customers as well as our large installed customer base to purchase additional cloud
subscriptions and professional services from us. In future periods customers may discontinue the cloud subscriptions and in turn may
not purchase additional professional services from us. If our customers decide to discontinue the cloud subscription, or if they reduce
the scope of their professional services agreements, our revenue could decrease significantly, and that could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
In addition, many of our customers are using older versions of our products for which we are no longer developing any further
upgrades or enhancements. While we intend to migrate our customers who are using these versions to newer versions, products or
convert them to cloud subscription, there can be no assurance that these customers will do so. If customers using older versions of our
products decide not to license our current software products, or decide to discontinue the use of our products and associated post-
contract support services, our revenue could decrease and our operating results could be materially adversely affected.
If we encounter defects, delays or interruptions in our cloud subscription services, the demand for these services could
diminish, and we could incur significant liability. We currently utilize data center hosting facilities, which are managed by third-
parties, to provide cloud solutions and hosting services to our customers. If the data center facilities fail or encounter any damage, it
could result in interruptions in services to our customers. This could result in unanticipated downtime for our customers, and in turn,
our reputation and business could be adversely affected. In addition, if our customers use our cloud arrangements in unanticipated
ways, this could cause an interruption in service for other customers attempting to access their data.
If any defects, delays or interruption in our cloud solutions occur, customers could elect to cancel their service, delay or withhold
payment to us, not purchase from us in the future or make claims against us, which could adversely affect our business reputation,
results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
Delays in implementing our products could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial
condition. Due to the size and complexity of most of our software implementations, our implementation cycle can be lengthy and may
result in delays. Our products may require modification or customization and must integrate with many existing computer systems and
software programs of our customers. This can be time-consuming and expensive for customers and can result in implementation and
deployment delays of our products. Additional delays could result if we fail to attract, train, and retain services personnel, or if our
alliance companies fail to commit sufficient resources towards implementing our software. These delays and resulting customer
dissatisfaction could limit our future sales opportunities, harm our reputation, and adversely impact results of operations, cash flow,
and financial condition.
Our liability to clients may be substantial if our systems fail, which could adversely impact our business, results of
operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Our products are often critical to the operations of our customers’ businesses and
provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. If our products fail to function as required—which, as described in more detail in
other risk factors, could be due to software bugs, cloud hosting service failures, security breaches, faulty implementations or other
reasons—we may be subject to claims for substantial damages. Courts may not enforce provisions in our contracts that would limit
our liability or otherwise protect us from liability for damages. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert
management’s time and attention. Although we maintain general liability insurance and error and omissions coverage, these coverages
may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover claims against us. In addition, our insurer may
disclaim coverage as to any future claim. If claims exceeding the available insurance coverage are successfully asserted against us, or
our insurer imposes premium increases or large deductibles or co-insurance requirements on us, then our business, results of
operations, cash flow, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
13
Our ability to sell our cloud solutions is highly dependent on the quality of our services offerings, and our failure to offer
high quality services could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Most of our
customers rely to some extent on our professional services to aid in the implementation of our software solutions. Once our software
has been installed and deployed, our customers may depend on us to provide them with ongoing support and resolution of issues
relating to our software. Therefore, a high level of service is critical for the continued marketing and sale of our solutions. If we or our
partners do not efficiently and effectively install and deploy our software products, or succeed in helping our customers quickly
resolve post-deployment issues, our ability to sell software products to these customers would be adversely affected and our reputation
in the marketplace with potential customers could suffer.
Our pricing models may need to be modified due to price competition. The competitive markets in which we operate may
oblige us to reduce our prices in order to contend with the pricing models of our competitors. If our competitors discount certain
products or services, we may have to lower prices on certain products or services in order to attract or retain customers. Any such
price modifications would likely reduce margins and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, and
financial condition.
We may encounter long sales cycles, particularly with our larger customers, which could have an adverse effect on the
amount, timing, and predictability of our revenue, adversely affecting our business, results of operations, cash flow, and
financial condition. Our products have lengthy sales cycles, which typically extend from nine to twelve months and may take up to
several years. Potential and existing customers, particularly larger enterprise customers, often commit significant resources to an
evaluation of available solutions and services and require us to expend substantial time and resources in connection with our sales
efforts. The length of our sales cycles also varies depending on the type of customer to which we are selling, the product being sold,
and customer requirements. We may incur substantial sales and marketing expenses and expend significant management effort during
this time, regardless of whether we make a sale. Many of the key risks relating to sales processes are beyond our control, including:
our customers’ budgetary and scheduling constraints; the timing of our customers’ budget cycles and approval processes; our
customers’ willingness to replace their currently deployed software solutions; and general economic conditions.
As a result of these lengthy and uncertain sales cycles of our products and services, it is difficult for us to predict when customers
may purchase products or services from us, thereby affecting when we can recognize the associated revenue, and our operating results
may vary significantly and may be adversely affected. The length of our sales cycle makes us susceptible to having pending
transactions delayed or terminated by our customers if they decide to delay or withdraw funding for IT projects. Our customers may
decide to delay or withdraw funding for IT projects for various reasons, including, but not limited to, global economic cycles and
capital market fluctuations.
Our ability to maintain and develop our brand is critical for our continued success. The brand identity we have developed has
significantly contributed to the continued success of our business. Our ability to maintain and develop our brand is critical in
expanding our base of customers, partners and employees. Our brand will depend largely on our ability to remain a technology leader
and continue to provide high-quality innovative products, services, and features. Significant investments may be required in order to
maintain and develop our brand. However, the investments may later be proven to be unsuccessful. If we fail to maintain and develop
our brand, or if we incur excessive expenses in our efforts to do so, our business, operating results and financial condition may be
materially and adversely affected.
Our technology must be advanced if we are to remain competitive. The market for our products is characterized by rapid
technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changes in customer demands, and evolving industry
standards. Our existing products could be rendered obsolete if we fail to continue to advance our technology. We have also found that
the technological life cycles of our products are difficult to estimate, partially because of changing demands of other participants in the
supply chain. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to continue to enhance our current product
line while we concurrently develop and introduce new products that keep pace with competitive and technological developments.
These developments require us to continue to make substantial product development investments. Although we are presently
developing a number of product enhancements to our product sets, we cannot assure you that these enhancements will be completed
on a timely basis or gain customer acceptance.
Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial
condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price. Our business is
influenced by a range of factors that are beyond our control and that we have no comparative advantage in forecasting. These include:
• general economic and business conditions;
• interest rate and inflation rate trends and fluctuations;
• overall demand for enterprise software and services;
• governmental policy, budgetary constraints or shifts in government spending priorities;
14
• general geo-political developments, such as the war in Ukraine; and
• currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Macroeconomic developments in the United States and Europe and in parts of Asia and South America could negatively affect our
business, operating results, financial condition and outlook, which, in turn, could adversely affect our stock price. Any general
weakening of, and related declining corporate confidence in, the global economy or the curtailment in government or corporate
spending could cause current or potential customers to reduce or eliminate their information technology budgets and spending, which
could cause customers to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services; or cause customers not to pay us; or to
delay paying us for previously purchased products and services.
In addition, political unrest and the related potential impact on global stability, acts of war or terrorism and the potential for other
hostilities in various parts of the world, as well as potential public health crises and natural disasters continue to contribute to a climate
of economic and political uncertainty that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, including our
revenue growth and profitability.
Disruption in our vertical markets could materially affect our revenues and results of operations. Our largest market, retail,
is experiencing significant business disruption and transformation, primarily driven by digital commerce. We believe that disruption is
causing many traditional retailers to assess the challenges of the transformation and evaluate their store networks and costs, as they
face increasing competitive pressures from ecommerce retailers. Since our solutions often require our customers to make significant
capital investments, traditional retailers could delay purchase decisions on our products. While this disruption may present significant
opportunity for our company, we believe extended sales cycles for large cloud subscriptions could have a material adverse effect on
our revenues and results of operations.
Inability to attract, integrate, and retain management and other personnel could adversely impact our business, results of
operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Our success greatly depends on the continued service of our executives, as well as
our other key senior management, technical personnel, and sales personnel. Our future success will depend in large part upon our
ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled executives and employees. We face significant competition for individuals with
the skills required to perform the services we offer, and thus we may encounter increased compensation costs that are not offset by
increased revenue. In the broader technology industry in which we compete for talented hires, there is substantial and continuous
competition for engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing and managing software, as well as competition for
sales executives and operations personnel. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of these
highly skilled employees or motivate them. Because of the complexity of the supply chain market, we may experience a significant
time lag between the date on which technical and sales personnel are hired and the time at which these persons become fully
productive.
We may not be able to continue to successfully compete with other companies. We compete in markets that are intensely
competitive and are expected to become more competitive as current competitors expand their product offerings. Our current
competitors come from many segments of the software industry and offer a variety of solutions directed at various aspects of the
extended supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. We face competition for product sales from:
• Corporate information technology departments of current or potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;
• ERP vendors, including: Oracle, SAP, and Infor, among others;
• Supply chain execution and planning vendors, including Blue Yonder/Panasonic (formerly JDA), Korber (formerly HighJump),
SAS Institute, the Sterling Commerce division of IBM, Relex, and others;
• Point of sale vendors, including Aptos, Oracle, and others; and
• Smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to develop supply chain execution solutions or planning
solutions that apply either globally or in specific countries.
Some of these potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly more financial, technical, marketing, and other
resources, greater name recognition, broader solutions, and larger installed bases of customers than we do. We believe the domain
expertise required to continuously innovate supply chain technology in our target markets, effectively and efficiently implement
solutions, identify and attract sales opportunities, and compete successfully in the sales cycle provides us with a competitive advantage
and is a significant barrier to market entry. However, in order to be successful in the future, we must continue to respond promptly and
effectively to technological change and competitors’ innovations, and consequently we cannot assure you that we will not be required
to make substantial additional investments in connection with our research, development, marketing, sales, and customer service
efforts in order to meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete successfully in the future. Some of our competitors
have significant resources at their disposal, and the degree to which we will compete with their new innovative products in the
15
marketplace is undetermined. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced earnings and
margins, and loss of market share. In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow,
and financial condition.
Our operating results are substantially dependent on one line of business. We continue to derive our revenues from sales of
our supply chain cloud solutions and related professional services. Accordingly, any factor adversely affecting the markets for supply
chain cloud solutions could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
Our research and development activities may not generate significant returns. We anticipate continuing to make significant
investments in software research and development and related product opportunities because we believe that we must continue to
allocate a significant amount of resources to our research and development activities in order to compete successfully. We cannot
estimate with any certainty when we will, if ever, receive significant revenues from these investments.
Our growth is dependent upon the successful development of our direct and indirect sales channel mix. We believe that our
future growth also will depend on further developing and maintaining a successful direct sales force and strategic relationships with
systems integrators and other technology companies. We invest significant resources to maintain and develop our sales channels. Our
investment could adversely affect our operating results if these efforts do not generate cloud and services revenue necessary to offset
the investment.
Mergers or other strategic transactions involving our competitors could weaken our competitive position or reduce our
revenue. Our competitors have been consolidating, which may make them more formidable. Competing with stronger companies may
cause us to experience pricing pressure and loss of market share, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
Our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition may be adversely affected if we cannot integrate
acquired companies or manage joint ventures. We may from time to time acquire companies with complementary products and
services. These acquisitions will expose us to increased risks and costs, including those arising from the following: assimilating new
operations and personnel; diverting financial and management resources from existing operations; and integrating acquired
technologies. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from any of these acquisitions to offset the associated acquisition
costs. We may also evaluate joint venture relationships with complementary businesses. Any joint venture we enter into would involve
many of the same risks posed by acquisitions, particularly the following: risks associated with the diversion of resources; the inability
to generate sufficient revenue; the management of relationships with third parties; and potential additional expenses.
Our business may require additional capital. We may require additional capital to finance our growth or to fund acquisitions or
investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. Our capital requirements may be impacted by many factors,
including: demand for our products; the timing of and extent to which we invest in new technology; the timing of and extent to which
we acquire other companies; the level and timing of revenue; the expenses of sales and marketing and new product development; the
success and related expense of increasing our brand awareness; the cost of facilities to accommodate a growing workforce; the extent
to which competitors are successful in developing new products and increasing their market share; and the costs involved in
maintaining and enforcing intellectual property rights.
Fires or other catastrophic events at our principal facilities could disrupt our business. Fires, natural disasters or other
catastrophic events, particularly those affecting our Atlanta headquarters or India research and development center, may cause damage
or disruption to our operations, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption
by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management
and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers.
Our software may contain undetected errors or “bugs” causing harm to our reputation, which could adversely impact our
business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Software products as complex as those we offer might contain
undetected errors or failures when we first introduce them or when we release new versions. Despite testing, we cannot ensure errors
will not be found in new products or product enhancements after commercial release. Any errors could cause substantial harm to our
reputation, result in additional unplanned expenses to remedy any defects, delay the introduction of new products, result in the loss of
existing or potential customers, or cause a loss in revenue. Further, such errors could subject us to customer claims for significant
damages, and we cannot guarantee courts would enforce the provisions in our customer agreements limiting our damage liability. In
turn, this could materially affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
If our data protection or other security measures are compromised and, as a result, our data, our customers’ data or our IT
systems are accessed improperly, made unavailable, or improperly modified, our products and services may be perceived as
16
vulnerable, possibly damaging our brand and reputation, disrupting the IT services we provide to our customers, and causing
our customers to stop using our products and services, all of which could reduce our revenue and earnings, increase our
expenses and expose us to legal claims and regulatory actions. Our products and services can store, retrieve, manipulate and
manage our customers’ information and data as well as our own. We have a reputation for secure and reliable software products and
services and invest time and resources into protecting the integrity and security of our products, services and internal and external data
that we manage.
Nevertheless, we encounter attempts by third parties to penetrate or bypass our data protection and other security measures and
gain unauthorized access to our networks, systems and data or compromise our customers’ confidential information or data.
Unauthorized third parties also could improperly access or modify data as a result of employee or supplier error or malfeasance and
third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names,
passwords or other information.
These risks are persistent and likely will increase as we continue to grow our cloud offerings and services and store and process
increasingly large amounts of our customers’ confidential information and data. We also may acquire companies, products, services
and technologies and inherit such risks when we integrate these acquisitions within Manhattan.
If a cyber-attack or other security incident were to occur, we could suffer damage to our brand and reputation, which could reduce
our revenue, earnings, and operating cash flow resulting from increased expenses, including potential legal claims and regulatory
actions to address and fix the incidents.
Further, as regulatory focus on privacy issues continues to increase and become more complex, these potential risks to our business
will intensify. Changes in laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of sensitive data could
significantly increase our cost of providing our products and services.
The use of open source software in our products may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property,
which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Some of our products use or
incorporate software that is subject to one or more open source licenses. Open source software is typically freely accessible, usable
and modifiable. Certain open source software licenses require a user who intends to distribute the open source software as a
component of the user’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. In addition, certain open
source software licenses require the user of such software to make any derivative works of the open source code available to others on
unfavorable terms or at no cost. This can subject previously proprietary software to open source license terms.
While we monitor the use of all open source software in our products, processes, and technology and try to ensure that no open
source software is used in such a way as to require us to disclose the source code to the related product or solution, such use could
inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third-party software provider has incorporated open source software into software we license
from them for use in our products and solutions, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our
products and solutions. This could harm our intellectual property position and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
If we are unable to develop software applications that interoperate with computing platforms developed by others, our
business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition may be adversely affected. We develop software applications
that interoperate with operating systems, database platforms, and hardware devices developed by others, which we refer to collectively
as computing platforms. If the developers of these computing platforms do not cooperate with us or we are unable to devote the
necessary resources so that our applications interoperate with those computing platforms, our software development efforts may be
delayed and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. When new or updated versions of these computing
platforms are introduced, it is often necessary for us to develop updated versions of our software applications so that they interoperate
properly with these computing platforms. We may not accomplish these development efforts quickly or cost-effectively, and it is
difficult to predict what the relative growth rates of adoption of these computing platforms will be. These development efforts require
substantial investment, the devotion of substantial employee resources, and the cooperation of the developers of the computing
platforms. For some computing platforms, we must obtain some proprietary application program interfaces from the owner in order to
develop software applications that interoperate with the computing platforms. Computing platform providers have no obligation to
assist in these development efforts. If they do not provide us with assistance or the necessary proprietary application program
interfaces on a timely basis, we may experience delays or be unable to expand our software applications into other areas.
The computing platforms we use may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Any loss of the right to
use any of these systems could result in delays in the provision of our products and services, and our results of operations may be
adversely affected. Defects in computing platforms could result in errors or failure of our products, which could harm our business.
We incorporate third-party software in our solutions, the failure or unavailability of which could adversely affect our
ability to sell, support, and service our products. We incorporate and include third-party software into and with certain of our
17
products and solutions and expect to continue to do so. The operation of our products could be impaired if there are defects in that
third-party software. It may be difficult for us to correct any defects in third-party software because the development and maintenance
of the software is not within our control. Such defects could adversely affect our business.
In addition, there can be no assurance that these third parties will continue to make their software available to us on acceptable
terms, or at all; not make their products available to our competitors on more favorable terms; invest the appropriate levels of
resources in their products and services to maintain and enhance the capabilities of their software; or remain in business. Any
impairment in our relationship with these third parties or our ability to license or otherwise use their software could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
Liability for intellectual property claims can be costly and result in the loss of significant rights, which could adversely
impact our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. It is possible that third parties will claim that we
have infringed their current or future products, inventions, or other intellectual property. We expect that supply chain software
developers like us will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products grows. Any claims, with or without
merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, or require us to pay monetary damages or to
enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could negatively impact our operating results. There are no assurances that
these royalty or licensing agreements, if required, would be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We also may be required to
indemnify our customers for damages they suffer as a result of such infringement. There are no assurances that legal action claiming
patent infringement will not be commenced against us, or that we would prevail in litigation given the complex technical issues and
inherent uncertainties in patent litigation. If a patent claim against us were successful and we could not obtain a license on acceptable
terms or license a substitute technology or redesign the product or feature to avoid infringement, we may be prevented from
distributing our software or required to incur significant expense and delay in developing non-infringing software. Any of these events
could seriously harm our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash
flow, and financial condition. Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary technology. There are no
assurances that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized disclosure or third-party copying or use. We rely
on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements, licensing arrangements,
and contractual commitments to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights,
existing copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign
countries do not protect our rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse
engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Any infringement of our proprietary
rights could negatively impact our future operating results. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the
validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. In turn, our
business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities. As a multinational corporation, we are subject to income taxes in the U.S.
and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our global provision for income taxes and other tax
liabilities. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate
tax determination is uncertain. Our income tax returns are routinely subject to audits by tax authorities. Although we regularly assess
the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine our tax estimates, a final determination of tax
audits or tax disputes could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the earnings
of our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. If our plans change in the future or if we elect to repatriate the
unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries in the form of dividends or otherwise, we could be subject to additional local
withholding taxes which may result in a higher effective tax rate.
In addition, the United States and other governments adopt tax reform measures from time to time that impact future effective tax
rates favorably or unfavorably. These tax reforms may be in the form of changes in tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax
assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. Such changes can have a material adverse impact on our financial
results. In 2022, the United States enacted the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases.
While we do not anticipate that changes in the tax laws or rates in that Act will have a material, direct impact on the Company,
imposition of new excise taxes and minimum corporate tax rates such as these can have a material adverse impact on the Company in
the future.
We are also subject to non-income taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property and goods and services taxes
in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities with respect to these non-income taxes
18
and may have exposure to additional non-income tax liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
Other laws and regulations. We face risks related to other laws and regulations in areas discussed elsewhere in “Risk Factors”
section, including data protection, export controls and immigration.
Our international operations have many associated risks. We continue to strategically manage our presence in international
markets, and these efforts require significant management attention and financial resources. We may not be able to successfully
penetrate international markets, or, if we do, there can be no assurance that we will grow our business in these markets at the same rate
as in North America. International sales are subject to many risks and difficulties, including those arising from complying with a
variety of foreign laws, import and export restrictions and tariffs, reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries,
potential adverse tax treatment, less stringent adherence to ethical and legal standards by prospective customers in some countries,
language and cultural barriers and political and economic instability. Because of these inherent complexities and challenges, lack of
success in international markets could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
Our operating results may include foreign currency gains and losses. We conduct a portion of our business in currencies other
than the United States dollar. Our revenues, expenses, operating profit and net income are affected when the dollar weakens or
strengthens in relation to other currencies. In addition, we have a large development center in Bangalore, India, that does not have a
natural in-market revenue hedge to mitigate currency risk to our operating expense in India. Fluctuations in the value of other
currencies could materially impact our revenues, expenses, operating profit and net income.
Our employee retention and hiring may be hindered by immigration restrictions, which could adversely impact our
business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition. Foreign nationals who are not U.S. citizens or permanent
residents constitute a significant part of our professional U.S. workforce. Our ability to hire and retain these workers, and their ability
to remain and work in the U.S. are impacted by laws and regulations as well as by processing procedures of various government
agencies. Changes in laws, regulations, or procedures may adversely affect our ability to hire or retain such workers and may affect
our costs of doing business and/or our ability to deliver services.
Our stock price has been highly volatile. The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response
to various factors, including: global macro-economic contraction impacting demand for supply chain solutions; quarterly variations in
operating results; announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; developments with respect to
patents or proprietary rights; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and mergers, acquisitions, and combinations
involving our competitors or us.
Our operating results are difficult to predict and could cause our stock price to fall. Our quarterly revenue and operating
results are difficult to predict and can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. If our quarterly revenue or operating results fall
below the expectations of investors or public market analysts, the price of our common stock could fall substantially. Our quarterly
revenue is difficult to forecast for several reasons, including the following: global macro-economic disruptions; credit and equity
market disruptions, which can significantly impact capital availability and spend timing of customers or potential customers; the
varying sales cycle for our products and services from customer to customer, including multiple levels of authorization required by
some customers; the varying demand for our products; customers’ budgeting and purchasing cycles; delays in our implementations at
customer sites; timing of hiring new services employees and the rate at which these employees become productive; timing of
introduction of new products; development and performance of our distribution channels; and timing of any acquisitions and related
costs.
Most of our expenses, including employee compensation and rent, are relatively fixed. In addition, our expense levels are based, in
part, on our expectations regarding future revenue increases. As a result, any shortfall in revenue in relation to our expectations could
cause significant changes in our operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in quarterly losses. As a result of these
factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenue levels and operating results are not necessarily meaningful.
Historical growth rates and historical quarterly revenue and operating results may not be a good indicator of future operating results
and reliance on historical results should not be used to predict our future performance.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Georgia law may inhibit a takeover of our company. Our corporate
organizational documents and Georgia law contain provisions that might enable our management to resist a takeover of our company.
These provisions might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or a change in our management. These
provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for shareholders to elect their own director nominees and
19
compel other corporate actions. The existence of these provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for
shares of our common stock.
Changes in, or interpretation of, accounting principles could result in unfavorable accounting changes. Our Consolidated
Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and accompanying
accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines, and interpretations. These rules are subject to interpretation by the SEC and
various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles. Changes in these rules or their interpretation could
significantly change our reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions. Changes resulting from
these new accounting standards or the adoption of other new or revised accounting principles may result in materially different
financial results and may require that we make changes to our systems, processes, and controls. In addition, as we work to align with
the guidelines of the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) and the
Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) environmental metrics, we may continue to expand our disclosure in these
areas. Our failure to report accurately or achieve progress on our metrics timely could adversely affect our reputation, financial
performance and business growth.
Adverse litigation results could affect our business. From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims
arising in the ordinary course of business, and occasionally legal proceeding not in the ordinary course. Litigation can be lengthy,
expensive and disruptive to our operations, and can divert our management’s attention away from running our core business. The
results of any litigation also cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse decision could result in monetary damages or injunctive
relief that could affect our business, operating results or financial condition. Additional information regarding legal matters in which
we are involved, if any, can be found in Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 2. Properties
Our principal administrative, sales, marketing, support, and research and development facility is located in approximately 221,000
square feet of modern office space in Atlanta, Georgia. Substantially all of this space is leased to us through September 30, 2025. We
have an additional office under a multi-year agreement in New Jersey. We also occupy facilities outside of the United States under
multi-year agreements in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Chile, China, Japan, Singapore, India, Italy and Australia. We
also occupy offices under short-term agreements in Germany and Spain. We believe our office space is adequate to meet our
immediate needs; however, we may expand into additional facilities in the future.
Many of our customer engagements involve services or products that are critical to the operations of our clients’ businesses. Any
downtime or failure of our services or products could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our
responsibility for that failure. Although we attempt to contractually limit our liability for damages arising from services or product
downtime or failures or negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance that the limitations of liability in our contracts will be
enforceable.

Business Overview
We develop, sell, deploy, service and maintain software solutions designed to manage Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital
Supply Chain, inventory and omnichannel operations for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other
organizations. Our customers include many of the world’s most premier and profitable brands.
Our business model is singularly focused on the development and implementation of complex commerce enablement software
solutions that are designed to optimize supply chains, and retail store operations including point of sale effectiveness and efficiency
for our customers.
In 2022, we generated $767.1 million in total revenue, with a revenue mix of: cloud subscriptions 23%; software license 3%;
maintenance 19%; services revenue 51%; and hardware 4%.
We have three geographic reportable segments: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Geographic revenue is based on the location of
the sale. Our international revenue was approximately $238.4 million, $196.4 million and $178.1 million for the years ended
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which represents approximately 31%, 30% and 30% of our total revenue for the
years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. International revenue includes all revenue derived from sales to
customers outside the United States. At December 31, 2022, we employed approximately 4,150 employees worldwide. We have
offices in Australia, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom,
as well as representatives in Mexico and reseller partnerships in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and
Asia.
Future Expectations
While we remain cautious about the global economy, our results for the full year ended 2022 exceeded our expectations due to
solid demand for our cloud solutions. Our solutions are mission critical, supporting complex global supply chains. Favorable secular
tailwinds, such as the digital transformation of businesses in manufacturing, wholesale and retail, coupled with our commitment to
investing in organic innovation to deliver leading cloud supply chain, inventory and omnichannel commerce solutions is in synergistic
alignment with current market demand. This alignment is contributing to our strong financial results, higher demand and strong win
rates for our solutions for the period.
We remain committed to investing in our business to drive customer success and expand our total addressable market, which we
believe will position us well to achieve long-term sustainable growth and earnings. We have taken steps to best ensure the health and
safety of our employees globally. Our daily execution has evolved into hybrid model, and we continue to find innovative ways to
engage with employees, customers and prospects.
Going forward, we are investing in our cloud business, including enterprise investments in innovation, and strategic operating
expenses to support growth objectives. The pace at which the market adopts our cloud subscriptions, resulting in revenue recognition
spread out over the subscription period rather than up front, combined with extended lead times for developing new business, can
cause uncertainty, impacting our ability to accurately forecast bookings and revenues from quarter to quarter and over the longer term.
For 2023, our five strategic goals continue to be:
22
• Focus on customer success and drive sustainable long-term growth;
• Invest in innovation to expand our products and total addressable market;
• Expand our cloud suites of Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions;
• Develop and grow our cloud business and cloud subscription revenue; and
• Expand our global sales, marketing, and professional service teams.
Cloud Subscription
In 2017, we released Manhattan Active™ Solutions, accelerating our business transition to cloud subscriptions. Under a cloud
subscription, customers pay a periodic fee for the right to use our software within a cloud environment that we provide and manage
over a specified period of time. As part of our subscription program, we allow our existing customers to convert their maintenance
contracts to cloud subscription contracts. Some customers have converted their maintenance contracts to cloud subscriptions, and we
expect there will be continued opportunities to convert existing maintenance contracts to cloud subscription contracts in the future.
In the fifth year of our cloud transition, demand for our cloud solutions is the dominant preference of customers. Our perpetual
license solutions are rapidly attritting due to market demand for cloud with almost all of our pipeline representing cloud. Cloud
solutions are our fastest growing revenue line and represents 88% of total software revenue in 2022. We believe the reduction in
license and maintenance revenue in favor of our cloud offerings is positive for our customers and Manhattan Associates.
The WEO update projected that advanced economies, which represent our primary revenue markets, would grow at about 1.2 and
1.4 percent in 2023 and 2024, while the emerging and developing economies would grow at about 4.0 percent in 2023 and 4.2 percent
in 2024.
While we are encouraged by our results, we remain cautious regarding the pace of global economic growth. We believe global
geopolitical and economic volatility associated with the pandemic likely will continue to shape customers’ and prospects’ enterprise
software buying decisions.
Revenue
Cloud Subscriptions and Software License revenue: Cloud subscriptions revenue and remaining performance obligation (“RPO”)
growth are the leading indicators of our business performance, primarily derived from cloud subscription fees that customers pay for
our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions. Since we announced our transition to becoming a cloud-first
company in 2017 with our launch of Manhattan ActiveTM Solutions, we have continued to see a significant shift in demand for cloud
solutions versus software license. By comparison, in 2016, cloud subscriptions and software license revenue represented 7% and 93%,
respectively, of our total cloud and software license revenue mix.
In the full year ended 2022, cloud subscriptions and software license revenue were 88% and 12%, respectively, of our total cloud
subscriptions and software license revenue mix. RPO increased 50% over prior year on strong demand. As of December 31, 2022,
approximately $1,051.5 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from RPO. Over 97% of RPO represent cloud native
23
subscriptions with a non-cancelable term greater than one year (including cloud deferred revenue as well as amounts we will invoice
and recognize as revenue from our performance of cloud services in future periods). Maintenance contracts are typically one year in
duration and are not included in RPO. Going forward, we expect cloud revenue to increase as a percentage of total software revenue
mix on solid market demand supplanting legacy perpetual license demand.
In 2022, cloud subscriptions revenue totaled $176.5 million, or 23% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments
recognized $149.0 million, $23.0 million and $4.5 million in cloud subscriptions revenue, respectively, in 2022. Cloud subscriptions
revenue is recognized over the term of the agreement, typically five years or more. Cloud subscription revenue growth is influenced
by the strength of general economic and business conditions and the competitive position of our software products. These revenues
generally have long sales cycles.
In 2022, license revenue totaled $24.8 million, or 3% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments totaled $16.4
million, $6.4 million, and $2.1 million in license revenue, respectively, in 2022. The percentage mix of new to existing customers for
the combination of cloud subscriptions and software license sales was approximately 40/60 in 2022.
Our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply Chain solutions are focused on core omnichannel operation (e-commerce,
retail store operations and point of sale), supply chain commerce operations (Warehouse Management, Transportation Management
and Labor Management), and Inventory Optimization, which are intensely competitive markets characterized by rapid technological
change. We are a market leader in the supply chain management and omnichannel software solutions market as defined by industry
analysts such as ARC Advisory Group and Gartner. Our goal is to extend our position as a leading global supply chain solutions
provider by growing our cloud subscriptions and software license revenues faster than our competitors through investment in
innovation.
Maintenance Revenue: Our maintenance revenue totaled $142.2 million, or 19% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA and
APAC segments recognized $113.3 million, $19.8 million, and $9.2 million, respectively, in maintenance revenue in 2022. For
maintenance, we offer a comprehensive 24 hours per day, 365 days per year program that provides our customers with software
upgrades, when and if available, which include additional or improved functionality and technological advances incorporating
emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. The growth of maintenance revenues is influenced by: (1) new software license
revenue growth; (2) annual renewal of support contracts; (3) increase in customers through acquisitions; (4) fluctuations in currency
rates, and is offset by conversion of maintenance contracts to cloud subscription contracts. Substantially all of our customers renew
their annual support contracts. Maintenance revenue is generally paid in advance and recognized over the term of the agreement,
typically twelve months. Maintenance renewal revenue is recognized over the renewal period once we have a contract upon payment
from the customer.
Services Revenue: In 2022, our services revenue totaled $394.1 million, or 51% of total revenue. The Americas, EMEA, and
APAC segments recognized $296.0 million, $79.6 million, and $18.5 million, respectively.
Our professional services organization provides our customers with expertise and assistance in planning and implementing our
solutions. To ensure a successful product implementation, consultants assist customers with the initial installation of a system, the
conversion and transfer of the customer’s historical data onto our system, and ongoing training, education, and system upgrades. We
believe our professional services enable customers to implement our software rapidly, ensure the customer’s success with our
solutions, strengthen our customer relationships, and add to our industry-specific knowledge base for use in future implementations
and product innovations.
Although our professional services are optional, the majority of our customers use at least some portion of these services for their
planning, implementation, or related needs. Professional services are typically rendered under time and materials-based contracts with
services typically billed on an hourly basis. Professional services are sometimes rendered under fixed-fee based contracts with
payments due on specific dates or milestones.
Services revenue growth is contingent upon cloud sales and customer upgrade cycles, which are influenced by the strength of
general economic and business conditions and the competitive position of our software products. In addition, our professional services
business has competitive exposure to offshore providers and other consulting companies.
Hardware Revenue: Our hardware revenue, which we recognize net of related costs, totaled $29.5 million in 2022 representing 4%
of total revenue. As a convenience for our cloud and software customers, we resell a variety of hardware products developed and
manufactured by third parties. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, RFID chip readers, bar
code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. We resell all third-party hardware products and related maintenance pursuant to
agreements with manufacturers or through distributor-authorized reseller agreements pursuant to which we are entitled to purchase
hardware products and services at discount prices. We generally purchase hardware from our vendors only after receiving an order
from a customer. As a result, we do not maintain hardware inventory.
24
Product Development
We continue to invest significantly in research and development (R&D) to provide leading Unified Omnichannel Commerce and
Digital Supply Chain solutions to enable global retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and logistics providers successfully
manage accelerating and fluctuating demands as well as the increasing complexity and volatility of their local and global supply
chains, retail store operations and point of sale. Our R&D expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were
$111.9 million, $97.6 million, and $84.3 million, respectively.
We expect to continue to focus our R&D resources on the development and enhancement of our core supply chain, inventory
optimization, omnichannel and point of sale software solutions. We offer what we believe to be the broadest solutions portfolio in the
supply chain solutions marketplace, to address all aspects of inventory optimization, transportation management, distribution
management, planning, and omnichannel operations including order management, store inventory & fulfillment, call center and point
of sale.
We also plan to continue to enhance our existing solutions and to introduce new solutions to address evolving industry standards
and market needs. We identify opportunities to further enhance our solutions and to develop and provide new solutions through our
customer support organization, as well as through ongoing customer consulting engagements and implementations, interactions with
our user groups, association with leading industry analysts and market research firms, and participation in industry standards and
research committees. Our solutions address the needs of customers in various vertical markets, including retail, consumer goods, food
and grocery logistics service providers, industrial and wholesale, high technology and electronics, life sciences, and government.
In 2023, our priorities for use of cash will continue to be investments in our Unified Omnichannel Commerce and Digital Supply
Chain solutions. We also will prioritize capital allocation in our global teams to fund growth, and accretive share repurchases. We do
not anticipate any borrowing requirements in 2023 for general corporate purposes.

We have three geographic reportable segments: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Geographic revenue information is based on the
location of sale. The revenues represented below are from external customers only. The geography-based expenses include costs of
personnel, direct sales, marketing expenses, and general and administrative costs to support the business. There are certain corporate
expenses included in the Americas segment that we do not charge to the other segments including research and development, certain
marketing and general and administrative costs that support the global organization, and the amortization of acquired developed
technology. Included in the Americas costs are all research and development costs, including the costs associated with our operations
in India. During 2022, 2021, or 2020, we derived the majority of our revenues from sales to customers within our Americas segment.

The consolidated results of our operations for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are discussed below.
27
Revenue
Our revenue consists of fees generated from cloud subscriptions, software licensing, maintenance, professional services, and
hardware sales.
Maintenance Revenue
28
Year 2021 compared with year 2020
Maintenance revenue decreased $1.9 million in 2021 compared to 2020. Maintenance revenue for the Americas segments
decreased $3.1 million, while EMEA and APAC segments increased $0.9 million and $0.3 million compared to 2020, respectively.
Services Revenue
Hardware Revenue
Hardware revenue, net increased $5.8 million in 2022 compared to 2021. Hardware revenue, net increased $6.8 million in 2021
compared to 2020. The majority of hardware sales are derived from our Americas segment. Sales of hardware are largely dependent
upon customer-specific desires, which fluctuate.
Cost of Revenue
29
Operating Expenses
For 2022, 2021 and 2020, we did not capitalize any R&D costs because the costs incurred following the attainment of technological
feasibility for the related software product through the date of general release were insignificant.
30
Year 2021 compared with year 2020
General and administrative expenses increased $6.6 million in 2021 primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in compensation and
other personnel-related expenses, and a $2.5 million increase in performance-based compensation expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization of intangibles and software expense amounted to $6.7 million, $7.9 million, and $8.9 million in
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization of intangibles was immaterial in 2022, 2021 and 2020. We have recorded goodwill
and other acquisition-related intangible assets as part of the purchase accounting associated with various acquisitions.
Operating Income
Operating income in 2022 increased $18.4 million to $152.7 million, compared to $134.3 million for 2021. Operating margins were
19.9% for 2022 versus 20.2% for 2021. Operating income increased primarily due to increased cloud subscriptions and services
revenues. In 2022, operating income increased by $8.1 million, $5.3 million, and $5.0 million in the Americas, EMEA and APAC
segment, respectively. Our operating margin decreased slightly due to our commitment to strategically invest in the business as a
cloud first company focused on delivering long term sustainable growth and earnings leverage. We are investing significantly in R&D
to deliver new innovation as well as cloud operations headcount, infrastructure, and technology to support our ability to scale our
cloud business to achieve our growth objectives.
Operating income in 2021 increased $20.2 million to $134.3 million, compared to $114.1 million for 2020. Operating margins
were 20.2% for 2021 versus 19.5% for 2020. Operating income and operating margin increased primarily due to increased cloud
subscriptions and services revenues. In 2021, operating income increased in both of the Americas and EMEA segments by $10.1
million while the APAC segment remained relatively flat.
The income tax provision for 2022, 2021 and 2020 included excess tax benefits of $7.6 million, $6.6 million, and $3.8 million on
vesting of restricted stock.
31
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we funded our business through cash generated from operations. Our cash and cash equivalents as of
December 31, 2022 included $172.5 million held in the U.S. and $53.0 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that our
cash balances in the U.S. are sufficient to fund our U.S. operations. In the future, if we elect to repatriate the unremitted earnings of
our foreign subsidiaries, we would no longer be subject to additional U.S. income taxes on such earnings due to the enactment of the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, but we could be subject to additional local withholding taxes.
Cash flow from operating activities totaled $179.6 million, $185.2 million, and $140.9 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. Typical factors affecting our cash provided by operating activities include our level of revenue and earnings for the
period, the timing and amount of employee bonus and income tax payments, and the timing of cash collections from our customers
which is our primary source of operating cash flow. Cash flow from operating activities for 2022 decreased $5.6 million compared to
2021, which is mainly due to an increase in income tax payments from the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act elimination of the
expensing of research and development costs as incurred for tax purposes beginning in 2022. Cash flow from operating activities for
2021 increased $44.3 million compared to 2020, which is mainly due to earnings growth in 2021, and the timing of cash collections,
partially offset by an increase in income tax payments. Days sales outstanding was 77, 67 and 68 at December 31, 2022, 2021 and
2020, respectively, reflecting solid cash collections.
Investing activities used cash of approximately $6.6 million, $4.0 million, and $2.7 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Our investing activities for 2022, 2021 and 2020 consisted of capital spending to support company growth and short-term investing.
For 2022, 2021 and 2020, capital expenditure was $6.6 million, $4.0 million, and $2.7 million, respectively.
Financing activities used cash of approximately $204.5 million, $120.4 million, and $43.6 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. The principal use of cash for financing activities in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was to purchase our common stock, including
shares withheld for taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock. Repurchases of our common stock for 2022, 2021 and 2020 totaled
$204.5 million, $120.4 million, and $43.6 million, respectively, including shares withheld for taxes of $29.1 million, $20.4 million,
and $18.6 million, respectively. In January 2023, our Board of Directors approved raising the Company’s remaining share repurchase
authority to an aggregate of $75.0 million of our outstanding common stock.
Periodically, opportunities may arise to grow our business through the acquisition of complementary products and technologies.
Any material acquisition could result in a decrease to our working capital depending on the amount, timing, and nature of the
consideration to be paid. We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs
at least for the next twelve months, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In 2023, we anticipate that our
priorities for use of cash will be similar to prior years, with our first priority being continued investment in product development and
in our business to extend our market leadership. We will evaluate acquisition opportunities that are complementary to our product
footprint and technology direction. We will also continue to weigh our share repurchase options against cash for acquisitions and
investing in the business. At this time, we do not anticipate any borrowing requirements in 2023 for general corporate purposes.
Lease Commitments
We lease our facilities and some of our equipment under noncancelable operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates
through 2029. Rent expense for these leases aggregated $7.7 million, $7.9 million, and $7.9 million during 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
In the following table, we present a summary of our contractual commitments as of December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
Operating Lease Obligations $25,516 $7,109 $6,130 $5,344 $2,491 $2,351 $2,091
32
Indemnities
Our customer contracts generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under those provisions, we generally agree, subject
to certain exceptions, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with third party claims against the customer
alleging that the customer’s use of our software services and products infringe third party intellectual property rights. Conditions to
our obligations generally include that we are provided the right to control the defense of the claims and, in general, to control
settlement negotiations. Those provisions generally provide also that, if the customer is prevented from using our services or products
because of a third party infringement claim, our sole obligation (in addition to the indemnification, defense, and hold harmless
obligation referred to above) is to, at our expense, (i) procure for the customer the right to continue to use the services or products, (ii)
replace or modify the services or products so that the customer’s use does not infringe, or, if neither of those options is reasonably
feasible, terminate that particular services or products and provide, as applicable, a refund of services fees paid for services not
received or a refund of the unamortized portion of the license fees paid for the products (based on a five year amortization period).
Our customer contracts sometimes also require us to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the customer in connection with death,
personal injury or property damage claims made by third parties with respect to actions of our personnel or contractors. The indemnity
obligations contained in our customer contracts generally have no specified expiration date and no specified monetary limitation on
liability, but they do not cover indirect or consequential damages, such as our customers’ lost revenues or profits. We have not
previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification obligations. We account for these indemnity
obligations in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for contingencies and record a liability for these obligations when a
loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification obligations as of
December 31, 2022.
Warranties
In general, in our customer contracts for purchase of our cloud SaaS services or license of our on-premises software products, we
warrant that our services or software will perform in accordance with our published services or product specifications. Additionally,
we may include other warranties such as “no-malware” warranties and warranties that we will perform our SaaS services consistent
with generally accepted industry standards or similar standards. In our SaaS services agreements, we also include service level
agreements (SLAs) under which we agree to provide service credits to our customers if our services availability drops below certain
defined levels. If necessary, we would reserve for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty
claims and claims history. However, we have not incurred significant recurring expense under our services or product warranties. As a
result, we believe the estimated fair value of our warranty obligations is nominal and we have no liabilities recorded for them as of
December 31, 2022.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions
upon which we rely are reasonable based on information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions
are made. To the extent there are material differences between those estimates, judgments, or assumptions and actual results, our
financial statements will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions
are: Revenue Recognition and Accounting for Income Taxes.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects
the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We derive our revenue from cloud
subscriptions, software licenses, customer support services and software enhancements (“maintenance”), implementation and training
services, and sales of hardware. We exclude sales and usage-based taxes from revenue.
Cloud subscriptions includes software as a service and arrangements which provide customers with the right to use our software
within a cloud environment that we provide and manage where the customer does not have the right to take possession of the software
33
without significant penalty. SaaS and hosting revenues are recognized over the contract period. For contracts that include a perpetual
license and hosting services, we generally consider the arrangement as an overall service, recognized over the initial hosting term.
The software license fee typically due at the outset of the arrangement is not payable again if the customer renews the hosting
services, so that the customer’s option to renew the hosting services is a material right, the revenue from which, if the option is
exercised, we will recognize over the applicable renewal period.
Our perpetual software licenses provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists at the time of purchase. We
recognize revenue for distinct software licenses once the license period has begun and we have made the software available to the
customer. Our perpetual software licenses are typically sold with maintenance under which we provide a comprehensive 24 hours per
day, 365 days per year program that provides customers with software upgrades, when and if available, which include additional or
improved functionality and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. Revenue related to
maintenance is generally paid in advance and recognized over the term of the agreement, typically twelve months.
Our services revenue consists of fees generated from implementation, training and application managed services, including
reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses in connection with our implementation services. Implementation services include system
planning, design, configuration, testing, and other software implementation support, and are typically optional and distinct from our
software. Following implementation, customers may purchase application managed services to support and maintain our software.
Fees for our services are separately priced and are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the
services are performed. In certain situations, we render professional services under agreements based upon a fixed fee for portions of
or all of the engagement. Revenue related to fixed-fee-based services contracts is recognized over time based on the proportion
performed.
Significant Judgements
Our customer contracts include the sale of multiple SaaS services or licensed products. Judgement is required to determine whether
each service or product sold is a distinct performance obligation that should be accounted for separately. We allocate the transaction
price to the distinct performance obligations based on relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). We estimate SSP based on the prices
we charge our customers or by using other information such as market conditions and other observable inputs. However, the selling
price of our software licenses is highly variable. Thus, we estimate SSP for software licenses using the residual approach, determined
based on total transaction price less the SSP of other goods and services promised in the contract.
Contract Balances
Timing of invoicing to customers may differ from timing of revenue recognition. Payment terms for our software licenses vary. We
have an established history of collecting under the terms of our software license contracts without providing refunds or concessions to
our customers. Cloud subscriptions and maintenance are typically billed annually in advance. We typically bill our professional
services monthly as performed. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have
determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms
is to provide customers with predictable ways to purchase our software and services, not to provide or receive financing. Additionally,
we are applying the practical expedient to exclude from consideration any contracts with payment terms of one year or less as we
rarely offer terms extending beyond one year.
Deferred revenue mainly represents amounts collected prior to having completed performance of maintenance, cloud subscriptions
and professional services.
Our judgments, assumptions, and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our
interpretation of current tax laws, allowable deductions, projected tax credits, and possible outcomes of current and future audits
conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. We do not recognize a tax benefit unless we conclude that it is more likely than not
that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If
the recognition threshold is met, we recognize a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in our judgment, is
greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and
34
future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our statement of financial position and our
statements of income. Our assumptions, judgments, and estimates relative to the value of our net deferred tax asset take into account
predictions of the amount and category of future taxable income. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of
income in future years could render our current assumptions, judgments, and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate,
thus materially impacting our financial position and results of operations.
Interest Rates
We currently invest our cash and cash equivalents in a variety of financial instruments, including taxable floating rate obligations in
money market funds and certificate of deposits with original maturities of less than three months when purchased. These investments
are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas, except for India, are derived from business
operations. Our operations in India are funded by the U.S. operations. At December 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents balances
totaled $225.5 million, of which all is highly liquid.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest-earning instruments carry interest rate risks. Fixed rate securities may have
their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than
expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes
in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes
in interest rates. The weighted-average interest rate of return on cash equivalents and short-term investments was immaterial for the
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The fair value of cash equivalents held at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $106.6 million
and $13.8 million, respectively. Based on the average cash equivalents and short-term investments outstanding during 2022 and 2021,
increases or decreases in the rates of return of 25 basis points would result in increases or decreases to interest income of
approximately $0.6 million from the reported interest income for both 2022 and 2021.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Manhattan Associates, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s
principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that,
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the
Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of
the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of the end of the Company’s 2022 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 was effective.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2022, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and has issued
a report regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appearing on page 38, which expresses an unqualified opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Manhattan Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the
related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 6, 2023 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Manhattan Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our
report dated February 6, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Revenue Recognition
Description of the As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue
Matter upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or
services.
The Company enters into contracts with its customers that may include promises to transfer SaaS
offerings, software licenses, software maintenance and professional services. Significant
judgment may be required by the Company in determining the amount of revenue recognition
for these customer contracts which include multiple performance obligations, including the
determination of standalone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation, particularly
for products and services that are not sold separately.
Given these factors, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s judgments in
determining revenue recognition for these customer agreements was extensive and required a
high degree of auditor judgment.
39
How We Addressed the We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of
Matter controls over the Company's process to identify the performance obligations in a customer
arrangement, determine the standalone selling price and allocate the transaction price to those
performance obligations.
Our audit procedures included, among others, reading executed contracts for a sample of sales
transactions to assess management’s evaluation of significant terms, including the determination
of distinct performance obligations, and tested the amounts recognized as revenue or recorded in
deferred revenue. To test management’s determination of relative standalone selling price for
performance obligations, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing
the appropriateness of the methodology applied, testing mathematical accuracy of the underlying
data and calculations, and testing transactions to corroborate the data underlying the Company’s
calculations. We also assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements.

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020
Our operations are in North and South America (the “Americas"), Europe (EMEA), and the Asia/Pacific (APAC) region. The
Americas operation are conducted through the Parent Company, Manhattan Associates, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Manhattan Associates Chile Spa. The European operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Manhattan
Associates Limited, Manhattan Associates Europe B.V., Manhattan France SARL, and Manhattan Associates GmbH, in the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and Germany, respectively. Our Asia/Pacific operations are conducted through our wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Manhattan Associates Pty Ltd., Manhattan Associates KK, Manhattan Associates Software (Shanghai), Co. Ltd.,
Manhattan Associates Software Pte Ltd., and Manhattan Associates (India) Development Centre Private Limited in Australia, Japan,
China, Singapore, and India, respectively. We occasionally sell our products and services in other countries, such as countries in Latin
America, Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Asia, through our direct sales channel as well as various reseller channels.
Risks Associated with Single Business Line, Technological Advances, and Foreign Operations
We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenues from sales of cloud solutions and related services and hardware. The
markets for supply chain commerce solutions are highly competitive, subject to rapid technological change, changing customer needs,
frequent new product introductions, and evolving industry standards that may render existing products and services obsolete. As a
result, our position in these markets could be eroded rapidly by unforeseen changes in customer requirements for application features,
functions, and technologies.
Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to, differing economic
conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility.
We recognized foreign exchange gains of $4.7 million in 2022, compared to foreign exchange losses of $0.2 million and $0.4 million
in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Foreign exchange rate transaction gains and losses are classified in “Other (loss) income, net” on the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
In addition, we have a large development center in Bangalore, India, that does not have a natural in-market revenue hedge to
mitigate currency risk to our operating expenses in India. Fluctuations in the value of other currencies, particularly the Indian Rupee,
could significantly affect our revenues, expenses, operating profit and net income.
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries have been translated into United States dollars in accordance with the foreign
currency matters topic in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). Revenues and expenses from
international operations were denominated in the respective local currencies and translated using the average monthly exchange rates
for the year. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and the effect
of changes in exchange rates from year to year are disclosed as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive
income.
46
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. Amounts held are
above the federally insured limit.
Our sales are primarily to companies located in the United States, Europe and Asia. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our
customers’ financial condition and do not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due principally from large U.S., European and
Asia Pacific companies under stated contract terms. Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2022 for the Americas, EMEA, and
APAC segments were $133.6 million, $28.1 million, and $5.0 million, respectively. Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2021
for the Americas, EMEA, and APAC segments were $100.4 million, $19.5 million, and $4.5 million, respectively. Our top five
customers in aggregate accounted for 11%, 12%, and 12% of total revenue recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2022
(“2022”), the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021”), and the year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020”), respectively. No single
customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2022, 2021 and 2020, or more than 10% of accounts receivable as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; investments with
maturities of greater than 90 days from the date of purchase but less than one year are generally classified as short-term investments;
and investments with maturities of one year or greater from the date of purchase are generally classified as long-term investments.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. For
the purposes of computing realized gains and losses, cost is determined on a specific identification basis.
At December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $118.9 million and $106.6 million, respectively. We
currently have no long-term investments. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market funds of $100.4 million and
certificates of deposit of $6.2 million. For money market funds, we use quoted prices from active markets that are classified as Level
1, the highest level of observable input in the disclosure hierarchy framework. The Company had no investments at December 31,
2022.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable included in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values principally due to the short-term maturities of these
instruments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance
for doubtful accounts, which is based upon an evaluation of historical amounts written-off, the customers’ ability to pay, and general
economic conditions; self-insurance accruals; impairment testing of goodwill; and our effective income tax rate (including the impact
of unrecognized tax benefits) and deferred tax assets, which are based upon our expectations of future taxable income, allowable
deductions, and projected tax credits. Actual results will differ from these estimates.
47
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects
the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We derive our revenue from cloud
subscriptions, software licenses, customer support services and software enhancements (“maintenance”), implementation and training
services, and sales of hardware. We exclude sales and usage-based taxes from revenue.
Cloud subscriptions includes software as a service (“SaaS”) and arrangements which provide customers with the right to use our
software within a cloud environment that we provide and manage where the customer does not have the right to take possession of the
software without significant penalty. SaaS and hosting revenues are recognized over the contract period. For contracts that include a
perpetual license and hosting services, we generally consider the arrangement as an overall service, recognized over the initial hosting
term. The software license fee typically due at the outset of the arrangement is not payable again if the customer renews the hosting
services, so that the customer’s option to renew the hosting services is a material right, the revenue from which, if the option is
exercised, we will recognize over the applicable renewal period.
Our perpetual software licenses provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists at the time of purchase. We
recognize revenue for distinct software licenses once the license period has begun and we have made the software available to the
customer. Our perpetual software licenses are typically sold with maintenance under which we provide a comprehensive 24 hours per
day, 365 days per year program that provides customers with software upgrades, when and if available, which include additional or
improved functionality and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. Revenue related to
maintenance is generally paid in advance and recognized over the term of the agreement, typically twelve months.
Our services revenue consists of fees generated from implementation, training and application managed services, including
reimbursements of out-pocket expenses in connection with our implementation services. Implementation services include system
planning, design, configuration, testing, and other software implementation support, and are typically optional and distinct from our
software. Following implementation, customers may purchase application managed services to support and maintain our software.
Fees for our services are separately priced and are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the
services are performed. In certain situations, we render professional services under agreements based upon a fixed fee for portions of
or all of the engagement. Revenue related to fixed-fee-based services contracts is recognized over time based on the proportion
performed.
As part of a complete solution, our customers periodically purchase hardware products developed and manufactured by third
parties from us for use with the software licenses purchased from us. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency
terminal networks, radio frequency identification (RFID) chip readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. As we do
not physically control the hardware that we sell, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and recognize our hardware revenue net of
related cost. We recognize hardware revenue when control is transferred to the customer upon shipment.
Significant Judgements
Our contracts with customers typically contain promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Judgement is
required to determine whether each product and service is considered to be a distinct performance obligation that should be accounted
for separately under the contract. We allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations based on relative standalone
selling price (“SSP”). We estimate SSP based on the prices charged to customers, or by using information such as market conditions
and other observable inputs. However, the selling price of our software licenses is highly variable. Thus, we estimate SSP for software
licenses using the residual approach, determined based on total transaction price less the SSP of other goods and services promised in
the contract.
Contract Balances
Cloud subscriptions and maintenance are typically billed annually in advance. Timing of invoicing to customers may differ from
timing of revenue recognition. Payment terms for our software licenses vary. We have an established history of collecting under the
terms of our software license contracts without providing refunds or concessions to our customers. Cloud subscriptions and
maintenance are typically billed annually in advance. Services are typically billed monthly as performed. In instances where the
timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a
significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with predictable ways to
purchase our software and services, not to provide or receive financing. Additionally, we are applying the practical expedient to
exclude from consideration any contracts with payment terms of one year or less as we rarely offer terms extending beyond one year.
48
Deferred revenue mainly represents amounts collected prior to having completed performance of maintenance, cloud
subscriptions and professional services. $147.5 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December
31, 2021 was recognized in 2022.
No revenue was recognized in 2022 from performance obligations that were satisfied in prior periods.
As of December 31, 2022, approximately $1,051.5 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance
obligations. Over 97% of our reported performance obligations represent cloud native subscriptions with a non-cancelable term
greater than one year (including cloud-deferred revenue as well as amounts we will invoice and recognize as revenue from our
performance of cloud services in future periods). Maintenance contracts are typically one year in duration and are not included in the
remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 40% of these remaining performance
obligations over the next 24 months with the balance recognized thereafter. We have elected not to provide disclosures regarding
remaining performance obligations for contracts with a term of 1 year or less.
We have not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, have not recorded a provision for the cost
of returns and product warranty claims.
We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience of write-offs and a detailed assessment of accounts
receivable. Additions to the allowance for credit losses generally represent a sales allowance on services revenue, which are recorded
to operations as a reduction to services revenue. Total amount charged to operations in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $5.4 million, $2.5
million and $3.5 million, respectively.
Our analysis involved utilizing a model of internal historical losses data. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, we
consider the age of the accounts receivable, our historical write-offs, and the creditworthiness of the customer, among other factors.
Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by us will also change accordingly, which could affect the level of our future
allowances. We also analyzed future expected credit losses given ever present changes to future risks in projected economic
conditions and future risks of customer collection.
Deferred Commissions
We consider sales commissions to be incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and recognize an asset
for sales commissions related to performance obligations with an expected period of benefit of more than one year. We apply the
practical expedient to expense sales commissions when the amortization period would have been one year or less. Deferred
commissions were $29.9 million as of December 31, 2022, of which $21.9 million is included in other assets and $8.0 million is
included in prepaid expenses. Deferred commissions were $23.2 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $16.9 million is included
in other assets and $6.3 million is included in prepaid expenses. Sales commission expense is included in Sales and Marketing expense
in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Amortization of sales commissions in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $7.5
million, $5.2 million and $3.1 million respectively. No impairment losses were recognized during 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists of furniture, computers, other office equipment, and leasehold
improvements. We depreciate the cost of furniture, computers, and other office equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives (five years for office equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
lesser of their useful lives or the term of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense for 2022, 2021 and 2020 was approximately
$6.7 million, $7.9 million, and $8.9 million, respectively, and was included in “Depreciation and amortization” in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. Amortization expense on intangible assets in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial.
49
Property and equipment, at cost, consist of the following (in thousands):
December 31,
2022 2021
Office equipment $ 39,273 $ 37,435
Furniture and fixtures 4,871 5,012
Leasehold improvement 23,518 24,142
Property and equipment, gross 67,662 66,589
Less accumulated depreciation (54,859) (52,700)
Property and equipment, net $ 12,803 $ 13,889
We determine the amount of development costs capitalizable under the provisions of FASB Codification accounting for costs of
computer software to be sold, leased, or marketed. Under this guidance, computer software development costs are charged to R&D
expense until technological feasibility is established, after which remaining software production costs are capitalized. We have defined
technological feasibility as the point in time at which we have a detailed program design or a working model of the related product,
depending on the type of development efforts, and high-risk development issues have been resolved through end-to-end system
testing.
The evaluation of asset impairment requires management to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset
being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.
Impairment of Goodwill
We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually as of December 31 and between annual evaluations if events occur or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such
circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2)
unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.
We applied the simplified goodwill impairment test for 2022, that permits companies to perform a qualitative assessment based on
economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment test for all or selected reporting
units. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, companies are only required to perform Step 1 of the annual impairment test
for a reporting unit if the company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the unit’s fair value is less than its carrying
amount. To the extent we conclude that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying
amount, the two-step approach is applied. The first step would require a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to the
respective carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of
impairment loss, if any. We did not identify any macroeconomic or industry conditions as of December 31, 2022, that would indicate
that the fair value of the reporting units were more likely than not to be less than their respective carrying values. If circumstances
50
change or events occur to indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting units have fallen below their
carrying amount, we would record an impairment charge based on that difference. We performed our periodic review of goodwill for
impairment as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and did not identify any impairment as a result of the review.
In general, in our customer software license contracts, we warrant to our customers that our software products will perform in all
material respects in accordance with the standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to
the customer for six months after first use of the licensed products, but no more than 24 months after execution of the license
agreement. We also generally warrant in our Cloud subscription agreements that we will perform the Cloud services in all material
respects as defined in the agreement during the service period. Additionally, we warrant to our customers that services will be
performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon
services. If necessary, we will provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims
history. However, we have not incurred significant recurring expenses under product or service warranties. As a result, we believe the
estimated fair value of these agreements is nominal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Segment Information
We have three reportable segments as defined by the FASB Codification topic for segment reporting: Americas, EMEA, and
APAC. See Note 8 for discussion of our reportable segments.
Diluted net income per share is computed using net income divided by Weighted Shares and the treasury stock method effect of
common equivalent shares (“CESs”) outstanding for each period presented. In the following table, we present a reconciliation of
51
earnings per share and the shares used in the computation of earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and
2020 (in thousands, except per share data):
The number of anti-dilutive CESs in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial. See Note 2 for further information on those securities.
Our judgments, assumptions, and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our
interpretation of current tax laws, allowable deductions, projected tax credits, and possible outcomes of current and future audits
conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. We do not recognize a tax benefit unless we conclude that it is more likely than not
that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If
the recognition threshold is met, we recognize a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in our judgment, is
greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and
future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our financial position and results of operations.
Our assumptions, judgments, and estimates relative to the value of our net deferred tax asset take into account predictions of the
amount and category of future taxable income. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future
years could render our current assumptions, judgments, and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate, thus materially
impacting our financial position and results of operations.
Equity-Based Compensation
We account for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. See Note 2 for
further information.
Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $1.2 million in 2022, $2.3 million in 2021, and $1.6 million in
2020.
52
We immediately retire shares repurchased pursuant to any share repurchase program. We allocate the share purchase price in
excess of par value between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.
2. Equity-Based Compensation
Equity Based Compensation Plans
In May 2020, the Manhattan Associates, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) was approved by our shareholders. The
2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights. Vesting
conditions can be service-based or performance-based, or a combination of both. The number of shares subject to outstanding awards
under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that are forfeited or canceled or expire after the Effective Date, in accordance
with the terms of the 2007 Plan, are counted as one share toward the 2020 Plan.
A maximum of 4,500,000 shares are available for grant under the amended 2020 Plan. Each stock option, stock appreciation right,
restricted stock, or restricted stock unit granted is counted against the maximum share limitation as one share. Options and stock
appreciation rights cannot have a term exceeding seven years. As of December 31, 2022, there were 3,439,854 shares available for
issuance under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The
committee has the authority to interpret the provisions thereof.
The restricted stock awards contain vesting provisions that are 50% service based and 50% performance based for employee
awards and 100% service based for non-employee members of the Board of Directors (“Outside Directors”). The employee awards
have a four year vesting period, with the performance portion tied to annual revenue and operating income targets. The awards to
Outside Directors have a one year vesting period. We recognize compensation cost for service-based restricted awards with graded
vesting on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period, with the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least
equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date. For our performance-based restricted stock awards
with graded vesting, we recognize compensation cost on an accelerated basis applying straight-line expensing for each separately
vesting portion of each award.
The Company recorded equity-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and RSUs (collectively “restricted stock
awards”) of $59.4 million, $43.3 million, and $33.4 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total fair value of restricted
stock awards vested in 2022, 2021 and 2020, based on market value at the vesting dates was $81.4 million, $59.8 million, and $52.2
million, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during fiscal year 2022, 2021 and 2020 was
$123.75, $128.62 and $77.20, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSU
totaled $93.7 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years. We recognize
forfeitures of equity-based payments as they occur.
Included in RSU grants for the year ended December 31, 2022 are 273,158 units that have performance-based vesting criteria
granted at target level for 2022 and performance adjustments above target level for 2021. The performance criteria are tied to our
financial performance. As of December 31, 2022, the associated equity-based compensation expense has been recognized for the
portion of the award attributable to the 2022 performance criteria.

We are subject to future federal, state, and foreign income taxes and have recorded net deferred tax assets on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets at December 31, 2022 and 2021. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We present below significant components of our deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

We currently have a tax holiday in India under the Special Economic Zone Act through March 2029. As a result of this holiday,
we had pre-tax income of approximately $12.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022, that was not subject to tax. Separately,
we are subject to India’s Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT”) and accordingly incurred income tax expense of approximately $2.0
million in 2022. The impact on diluted earnings per share if the income had been fully taxable would have been a decrease of $0.03
per share in 2022.
We have tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $3.4 million available to offset future state tax. These tax credit carry-forwards
expire in 2026 to 2033. These credits represent a deferred tax asset of $2.7 million after consideration of the federal benefit of state tax
deductions. A valuation allowance of $1.4 million has been established for these credits because the ability to use them is not more
likely than not. We also have a tax credit carry-forward of approximately $3.1 million available to offset future foreign tax. This tax
credit carryforward begins expiring in 2036.
At December 31, 2022 we had approximately $72.0 million of undistributed earnings and profits. The undistributed earnings and
profits are considered previously taxed income and would not be subject to U.S. income taxes upon repatriation of those earnings, in
the form of dividends. The undistributed earnings and profits are considered to be permanently reinvested, accordingly no provision
for local withholdings taxes have been provided, however, upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends, we could be
subject to additional local withholding taxes.
We present below a summary of the items that cause recorded income taxes to differ from taxes computed using the statutory
federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows for the years ended December 31,
2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):
December 31,
2022 2021 2020
55
Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $10.5 million and $13.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in
these amounts are unrecognized tax benefits totaling $9.9 million and $11.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively,
which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within our global operations in income
tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized the following income tax expense:
$0.7 million, $0.4 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, for the potential payment of interest and penalties. Accrued interest and
penalties were $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. We conduct business globally and, as a
result, file income tax returns in the United State federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no
longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-US income tax examinations for the years before 2010. Due to the expiration of
statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions globally during 2023, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that
unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $3.3 million.
4. Shareholders’ Equity
During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we purchased 1,352,954, 709,200, and 337,007 shares of the Company’s common stock for $175.4
million, $100.0 million, and $25.0 million, respectively, through open market transactions as part of a publicly-announced share
repurchase program. In January 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $75 million
of our common stock. Beginning in 2023, we will be subject to a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases as enacted by the United States
Inflation Reduction Act which we will include in the cost of stock repurchases as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
5. Contingencies
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business, and occasionally
legal proceeding not in the ordinary course. Many of our installations involve products that are critical to the operations of our clients’
businesses. Any failure in our company’s products could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our
responsibility for such failure. Although we attempt to contractually limit our liability for damages arising from product failures or
negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance that the limitations of liability set forth in its contracts will be enforceable in all
instances. We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding in the ordinary course of business or other legal proceedings the result
of which we believe is likely to have a material adverse impact upon our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows. We expense legal costs associated with loss contingencies as such legal costs are incurred.
7. Leases
We lease our facilities and some of our equipment under noncancelable operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates
through 2029. The total operating lease liabilities for these leases at December 31, 2022 was approximately $20.0 million. For a few
of our facility leases, we have certain options to extend the lease term for up to 10 years, at our sole discretion. We have no finance
leases.
We present below the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
December 31,
2022
ASSETS
Operating lease right-of-use assets $17,794
LIABILITIES
Operating lease liabilities, current (included in $5,962
accrued and other liabilities)
Operating lease liabilities, long-term 14,065
Total operating lease liabilities $20,027
56
Aggregate future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2022 are as follows (in
thousands):
Year Ending December 31,
2023 $ 7,109
2024 6,130
2025 5,344
2026 2,491
2027 2,351
Thereafter 2,091
Total minimum payments required 25,516
Less short-term leases (91)
Less imputed interest (5,398)
Total operating lease liabilities $ 20,027
We are applying the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components, which allows us to account for lease
and non-lease components as a single lease component. The total lease cost in 2022 was $7.7 million, consisting of $7.3 million of
operating lease costs, and $0.4 million of short-term lease costs. The total lease cost in 2021 was $7.9 million, consisting of $7.5
million of operating lease costs, and $0.4 million of short-term lease costs. Total lease costs in 2020 were $7.9 million, consisting of
$7.5 million of operating lease costs, and $0.4 million of short-term lease costs. Our variable lease cost during 2022, 2021 and 2020
were immaterial.
8. Segment Reporting
We manage our business by geographic segment and have three geographic reportable segments: the Americas, EMEA, and
APAC. All segments derive revenue from the sale and implementation of our supply chain commerce solutions. The individual
products sold by the segments are similar in nature and are all designed to help companies manage the effectiveness and efficiency of
their supply chain commerce. We use the same accounting policies for each reportable segment. The chief executive officer and chief
financial officer evaluate performance based on revenue and operating results for each reportable segment.
The Americas segment charges royalty fees to the other segments based on cloud subscriptions and software licenses sold by those
reportable segments. The royalties, which totaled $8.9 million, $6.1 million, and $3.8 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
are included in costs of revenue for each segment with a corresponding reduction in the America’s cost of revenue. The revenues
represented below are from external customers only. The geography-based costs consist of costs for professional services personnel,
direct sales and marketing expenses, infrastructure costs to support the employee and customer base, billing and financial systems,
management and general and administrative support. There are certain corporate expenses included in the Americas segment that we
do not charge to the other segments. Such expenses include research and development, certain marketing and general and
administrative costs that support the global organization, and the amortization of acquired developed technology. Costs in the
Americas’ segment include all research and development costs including the costs associated with our operations in India.

In accordance with the segment reporting topic of the FASB Codification, we present below financial information by reportable
segment for 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):
In the following table, we present goodwill, long-lived assets, and total assets by reportable segment as of December 31, 2022 and
2021 (in thousands):
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we derived revenue from sales to customers outside the United States of
approximately $238.4 million, $196.4 million, and $178.1 million, respectively. Our remaining revenue was derived from domestic
sales.
Cloud subscriptions revenue primarily relates to our Manhattan Active omnichannel, warehouse management solutions, and
transportation management solutions for the year ended December 31, 2022. The majority of our software license revenue (over 85%)
relates to our warehouse management product group for the same period.
9. Subsequent Events
We evaluated all subsequent events that occurred after the date of the accompanying financial statements and determined that there
were no events or transactions during this subsequent event reporting period which require recognition or disclosure in our financial
statements.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
58
None.
No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system
of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in
all cases. Our disclosure controls and procedures, however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of
disclosure controls and procedures are met.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the
participation of management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are
met.
