The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the same period in fiscal 2024 was driven by higher cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $16.5 billion mainly for the Ansys Merger, partially offset by proceeds of $142.5 million received in connection with the Software Integrity

Divestiture, higher net proceeds of $98.5 million from the sales, purchases and maturities of investments, and proceeds of $74.3 million from the sale of an office building in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.
