Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bentley Systems, Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Bentley Systems, Incorporated” or the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10 ‑ K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, payments related to the Company’s interest rate swap were recognized in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and the corresponding prior period amounts, which were previously recognized in Interest expense, net , were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the amounts reclassified were not material, and Income before income taxes and Net income in the consolidated statements of operations did not change as a result of these reclassifications.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020‑04 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022.

Under the Credit Facility, the Company has a $200,000 senior secured term loan with a maturity of November 15, 2025 (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan requires principal repayment at the end of each calendar quarter. Beginning with March 31, 2022 and ending with December 31, 2023, the Company is required to repay $1,250 per quarter.

Under the non‑Term SOFR elections, revolving loan borrowings bear a base interest rate of the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the overnight bank funding effective rate plus 50 bps, or (iii) the applicable term SOFR rate plus 10 bps, plus a spread ranging from 25 bps to 125 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Swingline borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest that resets daily. Interest on U.S. dollar swingline borrowings bear an interest rate of the daily simple SOFR rate plus 3.5 bps, plus a spread ranging from 125 bps to 225 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Company cannot make optional currency swingline borrowings without the consent of the applicable swingline lender. Term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates that reset every one, three, or six months depending on the period selected by the Company. Under the Term SOFR elections, term loan borrowings bear an interest rate of the applicable term SOFR rate plus 10 bps, plus a spread ranging from 100 bps to 200 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Under the non‑Term SOFR elections, term loan borrowings bear a base interest rate of the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the overnight bank funding effective rate plus 50 bps, or (iii) the applicable term SOFR rate plus 10 bps, plus a spread ranging from 0 bps to 100 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s material first tier domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ U.S. assets and 65% of the stock of their directly owned foreign subsidiaries. The agreement governing the Credit Facility contains customary positive and negative covenants, including restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and make other restricted payments, as well as events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenants defaults, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness in excess of $50,000, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of $10,000, failure of any security document supporting the Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and a change of control.

Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, in whole or in part, are permitted at any time, so long as the Company gives notice as required by the Credit Facility. However, if prepayment is made with respect to a SOFR‑based loan and the prepayment is made on a date other than an interest payment date, the Company is subject to customary breakage costs. Convertible Senior Notes As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes, and none of the conditions of the 2026 Notes or 2027 Notes to early convert had been met. Derivative Arrangements The Company records derivative instruments as an asset or liability measured at fair value and depending on the nature of the hedge, the corresponding changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations or comprehensive income. If the derivative is determined to be a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities through the consolidated statements of operations or recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes until the hedged item is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized in earnings. Also, changes in the entire fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge are recognized in earnings. Effective on April 2, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $200,000 and a ten‑year term to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility. Effective on June 26, 2023, the Company amended the interest rate swap agreement to replace the LIBOR rate to SOFR under the ISDA Fallback Protocols included within the agreement. Subsequent to the amendment, the Company will continue to pay a fixed interest rate of 72.9 bps, and will receive a floating interest rate equal to daily SOFR plus an ARRC spread adjustment of 11.448 bps. The interest rate swap is not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes. The Company accounts for the interest rate swap as either an asset or a liability on the consolidated balance sheets and carries the derivative at fair value (see Note 17). Gain (loss) from the change in fair value and payments related to the interest rate swap are recognized in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 20). The bank counterparty to the derivative potentially exposes the Company to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. To mitigate that risk, the Company only contracts with counterparties who meet the Company’s minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. The Company monitors counterparty risk on at least a quarterly basis and adjusts its exposure as necessary. The Company does not enter into derivative instrument transactions for trading or speculative purposes. Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net consists of the following: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Contractual interest expense $ (8,678) $ (7,345) $ (27,352) $ (17,092) Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs (1,823) (1,822) (5,469) (5,468) Other interest (expense) income (47) (76) 958 (1,234) Interest income 501 109 1,240 273 Interest expense, net $ (10,047) $ (9,134) $ (30,623) $ (23,521) The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility were 7.44% and 4.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 7.04% and 3.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Restricted Stock and RSUs Under the equity incentive plans, the Company may grant both time‑based and performance‑based shares of restricted Class B Common Stock and RSUs to eligible colleagues. Time‑based awards generally vest ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Performance‑based awards vesting is determined by the achievement of certain business profitability and growth targets, including growth in annualized recurring revenues (“ARR”), and actual bookings for perpetual licenses and non‑recurring services, among others. Performance targets are generally set for performance periods of one year to three years.

(5) Primarily relates to the 2023 annual performance period, except for 13,367 additional shares earned based on the achievement of 2022 performance goals for performance‑based RSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted 185,186 performance‑based RSUs to certain officers and key employees, which vest subject to the achievement of certain performance goals over a three‑year performance period (the “Performance Period”). For each year of the Performance Period, one‑third of the performance‑based RSUs will be subject to a cliff, whereby no vesting of that portion will occur unless the Company’s applicable margin metrics (which, for 2022, was Adjusted EBITDA margin and for 2023 and 2024, will be Adjusted operating income inclusive of stock-based compensation expense (“Adjusted OI w/SBC”) margin, excluding the impact of currency exchange fluctuations) also equals or exceeds the relevant target level for such year. Provided that the applicable margin targets are met, the total number of performance‑based RSUs that will vest is determined by the achievement of growth targets, which include growth in ARR, as well as actual bookings for perpetual licenses and non‑recurring services. Final actual vesting will be determined on January 31, 2025. The 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin target for the performance‑based RSUs was met. In 2016, the Company granted RSUs subject to performance‑based vesting as determined by the achievement of certain business growth targets. Certain colleagues elected to defer delivery of such shares upon vesting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 1,562 and 10,888 shares, respectively, were delivered to colleagues, and 28 and 23 additional shares, respectively, were earned as a result of dividends. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 7,829 and 9,363 shares, respectively, of these vested and deferred RSUs remained outstanding. The weighted average grant date fair values of RSUs granted were $40.82 and $38.68, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, restricted stock and RSUs were issued net of 137,675 and 81,301 shares, respectively, which were sold back to the Company to settle applicable income tax withholdings of $6,062 and $3,208, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $4,428 and $4,280, respectively, primarily associated with windfall tax benefits from stock‑based compensation, net of the impact from officer compensation limitation provisions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate was higher compared to the prior year period primarily due to an increase in the forecasted effective tax rate impact of the GILTI inclusion due to the mandatory capitalization of research and development expenses for U.S. tax purposes and a decrease in discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $31,895 and $36,032, respectively, primarily associated with windfall tax benefits from stock‑based compensation, net of the impact from officer compensation limitation provisions.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Sep. 30, 2023
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments A financial asset or liability classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, account receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accruals, certain other current and long‑term liabilities, and long‑term debt. Current assets and current liabilities — In general, the carrying amounts reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short‑term nature of those instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: Acquisition contingent consideration — The fair value of these liabilities is generally determined using a cost or income approach and is measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions the Company believes would be made by a market participant. Interest rate swap — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap asset or liability is determined using an income approach and is measured based on the implied forward rates for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Long-term debt — The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facility approximated its carrying value based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates for instruments with similar remaining terms. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes was $671,962 and $492,815, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes was $622,431 and $470,856, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes is based on quoted market prices of the Company’s instrument in markets that are not active and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret the market data and develop estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold, or settled. Deferred compensation plan liabilities — The fair value of deferred compensation plan liabilities, including the liability classified phantom investments in the DCP, are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis consist of the following: September 30, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 3,023 $ — $ — $ 3,023 Interest rate swap (2) — 41,302 — 41,302 Total assets $ 3,023 $ 41,302 $ — $ 44,325 Liabilities: Acquisition contingent consideration (3) $ — $ — $ 3 $ 3 Deferred compensation plan liabilities (4) 81,719 — — 81,719 Cash-settled equity awards (3) 715 — — 715 Total liabilities $ 82,434 $ — $ 3 $ 82,437 December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 19 $ — $ — $ 19 Interest rate swap (2) — 37,200 — 37,200 Total assets $ 19 $ 37,200 $ — $ 37,219 Liabilities: Acquisition contingent consideration (3) $ — $ — $ 1,196 $ 1,196 Deferred compensation plan liabilities (4) 79,081 — — 79,081 Cash-settled equity awards (3) 536 — — 536 Total liabilities $ 79,617 $ — $ 1,196 $ 80,813 (1) Included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Net Income Per Share

Net Income Per Share	Sep. 30, 2023
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share	Net Income Per ShareThe Company issues certain performance-based RSUs determined to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of the Company’s declaration of a dividend for common shares. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 364,753 and 362,773 participating securities outstanding, respectively. Undistributed net income allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income in determining basic net income attributable to common stockholders. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing basic net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares, inclusive of undistributed shares held in the DCP as phantom shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock. For the Company’s diluted net income per share numerator, interest expense, net of tax, attributable to the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes is added back to basic net income attributable to common stockholders. For the Company’s diluted net income per share denominator, the basic weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans and ESPP, and for the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing diluted net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of fully diluted common shares. Except with respect to voting and conversion, the rights of the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the Company’s Class B Common Stock are identical. Each class of shares has the same rights to dividends and allocation of income (loss) and, therefore, net income per share would not differ under the two‑class method. The details of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator: Net income $ 53,027 $ 36,997 $ 147,202 $ 149,058 Less: Net income attributable to participating securities (18) (11) (56) (31) Net income attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders, basic 53,009 36,986 147,146 149,027 Add: Interest expense, net of tax, attributable to assumed conversion of convertible senior notes 1,716 832 5,157 5,116 Net income attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders, diluted $ 54,725 $ 37,818 $ 152,303 $ 154,143 Denominator: Weighted average shares, basic 313,069,132 310,116,104 311,915,808 308,959,801 Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and RSUs 2,115,802 4,126,936 2,534,773 5,278,839 Dilutive effect of ESPP 6,466 168,518 60,526 171,571 Dilutive effect of assumed conversion of convertible senior notes 17,633,786 10,758,825 17,633,786 17,667,623 Weighted average shares, diluted 332,825,186 325,170,383 332,144,893 332,077,834 Net income per share, basic $ 0.17 $ 0.12 $ 0.47 $ 0.48 Net income per share, diluted $ 0.16 $ 0.12 $ 0.46 $ 0.46 The following potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been anti‑dilutive for the periods presented: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 RSUs — 297,789 — 279,789 Convertible senior notes — 6,908,798 — — Total anti-dilutive securities — 7,206,587 — 279,789

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bentley Systems, Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Bentley Systems, Incorporated” or the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.
Consolidation	These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10 ‑ K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification	Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, payments related to the Company’s interest rate swap were recognized in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and the corresponding prior period amounts, which were previously recognized in Interest expense, net , were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the amounts reclassified were not material, and Income before income taxes and Net income in the consolidated statements of operations did not change as a result of these reclassifications.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020‑04 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022‑06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 , which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting by extending the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. The expedients and exceptions provided by these ASUs do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2024, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2024, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company adopted these ASUs during the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 10) and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition	As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s contract assets relate to performance obligations completed in advance of the right to invoice and are included in Prepaid and other current assets
Fair Value Measurements	A financial asset or liability classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, account receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accruals, certain other current and long‑term liabilities, and long‑term debt. Current assets and current liabilities — In general, the carrying amounts reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short‑term nature of those instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: Acquisition contingent consideration — The fair value of these liabilities is generally determined using a cost or income approach and is measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions the Company believes would be made by a market participant. Interest rate swap — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap asset or liability is determined using an income approach and is measured based on the implied forward rates for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Deferred compensation plan liabilities — The fair value of deferred compensation plan liabilities, including the liability classified phantom investments in the DCP, are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.
