The Company’s SaaS arrangements allow customers to use certain software solutions (without taking possession of the software) in a single-tenant cloud environment on a subscription basis. The Company’s PaaS arrangements allow customers to use certain software solutions (without taking possession of the software) in a multi-tenant cloud environment on a subscription or consumption basis. Included in SaaS and PaaS revenue are fees paid by our customers for use of our Biller solutions. Biller-related fees may be paid by our clients or directly by their customers and may be a percentage of the underlying transaction amount, a fixed fee per executed transaction, or a monthly fee for each customer enrolled. SaaS and PaaS costs include payment card interchange fees, the amounts payable to banks and payment card processing fees, which are included in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. All fees from SaaS and PaaS arrangements that do not qualify for treatment as a distinct performance obligation, which includes set-up fees, implementation or customization services, and product support services, are included in SaaS and PaaS revenue.

SaaS and PaaS revenue increased $21.4 million, or 10%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. 

•The impact of foreign currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar resulted in a $0.3 million decrease in SaaS and PaaS revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

•Adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, SaaS and PaaS revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased $21.7 million, or 10%, as compared to the same period in 2024.

•The increase was primarily driven by new customer go-lives since March 31, 2024, and higher transaction volumes during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

License Revenue

Customers purchase the right to license ACI software under multi-year, time-based software license arrangements that vary in length but are generally five years. Under these arrangements the software is installed at the customer’s location (i.e. on-premise). Within these agreements are specified capacity limits typically based on customer transaction volume. ACI employs measurement tools that monitor the number of transactions processed by customers and if contractually specified limits are exceeded, additional fees are charged for the overage. Capacity overages
