Bentley Systems, the leading provider of infrastructure engineering software, kicked off 2026 with significant financial momentum, reporting a total revenue of $424.2 million. This 14.5% year-over-year increase was largely fueled by the company’s subscription services and robust demand within its Resources and Public Works sectors.

Infrastructure professionals globally rely on Bentley’s specialized software to design, build, and operate essential systems for transportation, energy, and water. By utilizing these digital twin solutions, engineering firms can unlock critical data to create more resilient infrastructure and transform how they manage long-term asset performance.

The company is currently accelerating its focus on artificial intelligence, integrating AI agents into its software to automate complex engineering workflows at a massive scale.

Executive Chair Greg Bentley emphasized that these advancements allow the world’s top design firms to leverage their own proprietary data for a competitive economic advantage.

While the company saw a slight dip in operating margins due to strategic investments and recent credit facility adjustments, its steady net income growth and nearly $1.5 billion in recurring revenue highlight its stability.

By providing the tools necessary for modern engineering, Bentley Systems continues to serve as a vital partner for firms looking to enhance project delivery through high-tech, data-driven innovation.
