PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) delivers double-digit growth, margin expansion and major divestiture plans
PTC Inc. reports strong quarterly growth, with revenue rising 21% to $685.8 million and ARR increasing 13% to $2.49 billion versus a year earlier. Growth was driven mainly by a 56% jump in license revenue and solid support and cloud services performance.
GAAP operating income nearly doubled to $221.1 million, expanding operating margin from 20.4% to 32.2%, while non-GAAP operating margin reached 45.1%. Diluted EPS climbed 104% to $1.39, or $1.92 on a non-GAAP basis, supported by higher revenue and cost discipline.
PTC generated $269.7 million in operating cash flow and $267.4 million in free cash flow, then repurchased $200 million of stock under a $2 billion authorization. The company also agreed to sell its Kepware and ThingWorx businesses for $600 million in cash plus up to $125 million of contingent consideration, with closing expected on or before April 1, 2026.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PTC Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate in order to make the information not misleading, these unaudited quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The September 30, 2025 Consolidated Balance Sheet included herein is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a year mean our fiscal year, which ends on September 30.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Narrow-Scope Improvements for Interim Reporting
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The ASU will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2029, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption to result in disclosure changes only.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by eliminating project stage-based capitalization and clarifying the probable-to-complete threshold to commence the capitalization of software costs. The ASU will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2029, with early adoption permitted. The standard may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The assets and liabilities of the Kepware and ThingWorx business were classified as held for sale in the first quarter of 2026. We expect that the sales proceeds less costs to sell will exceed the carrying value of the net assets. This divestiture did not qualify for discontinued operations and therefore, its results will be included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in continuing operations through the date of sale.

7. Fair Value Measurements
The valuation hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities reported at fair value prioritizes the inputs for such valuations into three broad levels:
A financial asset's or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Money market funds, time deposits, and corporate notes/bonds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
The principal market in which we execute our foreign currency derivatives is the institutional market in an over-the-counter environment with a relatively high level of price transparency. The market participants are generally large financial institutions. Our foreign currency derivatives’ valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and quoted pricing intervals from public data sources and do not involve management judgment. These contracts are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Net Investment Hedges
We translate balance sheet accounts of subsidiaries with foreign functional currencies into the U.S. Dollar using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We designate certain foreign exchange forward contracts as net investment hedges against exposure on translation of balance sheet accounts of Euro and Japanese Yen functional subsidiaries. Net investment hedges partially offset the impact of Foreign currency translation adjustment recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All foreign exchange forward contracts are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the maximum duration of net investment hedge foreign exchange forward contracts is approximately
Net investment hedge relationships are designated at inception, and effectiveness is assessed retrospectively on a quarterly basis using the net equity position of Euro and Japanese Yen functional subsidiaries. As the forward contracts are highly effective in offsetting exchange rate exposure, we record changes in these net investment hedges in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts due to changes in time value are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Our derivatives are not subject to any credit contingent features. We manage credit risk with counterparties by trading among several counterparties and we review our counterparties’ credit at least quarterly.
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, we had outstanding forward contracts designated as net investment hedges with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

In the quarter ended December 31, 2025, our rate included the effects of IRS procedural guidance requiring consent for previously automatic changes of accounting method.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2025, upon receiving consent from the IRS, we released the reserve established in 2025 related to the procedural guidance, which resulted in a net income tax benefit of $
In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the IRS in the U.S. We regularly assess the likelihood of additional assessments by tax authorities and provide for these matters as appropriate. We are currently under audit by tax authorities in several jurisdictions. Audits by tax authorities typically involve examination of the deductibility of certain permanent items, transfer pricing, limitations on net operating losses and tax credits.

On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”) was enacted into law. The Act includes changes to U.S. tax law that are applicable to us beginning in 2026.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
We enter into standard indemnification agreements with our customers and business partners in the ordinary course of our business. Under such agreements, we typically indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our products. Indemnification may also cover other types of claims, including claims relating to certain data breaches. These agreements typically limit our liability with respect to indemnification claims other than intellectual property infringement claims. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and, accordingly, we believe the estimated fair value of liabilities under these agreements is immaterial.
We warrant that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published specifications during the term of the license. Additionally, we generally warrant that our consulting services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards and, in the case of fixed price services, the agreed-upon specifications. In most cases, liability for these warranties is capped. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history; however, we have not incurred significant cost under our product or services warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these liabilities is immaterial.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview
PTC is a global software company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. We employ over 7,000 people and support more than 30,000 customers globally.
We primarily serve customers in the following industry verticals:
Our customers are focused on improving their competitiveness in the face of global competition and increasing product complexity, and our suite of software offerings is a strategic enabler of this and their digital transformation initiatives. Given the breadth and openness of our portfolio, we enable the Intelligent Product Lifecycle: establishing a strong product data foundation in the engineering department and democratizing the access and use of that data across the enterprise to drive cross-functional collaboration, accelerate new product introduction timelines, and deliver higher product quality. By embracing the Intelligent Product Lifecycle, our customers establish the quality, consistency, and traceability of product data, ensuring the data is up-to-date, accessible, reliable, and actionable. Our customers can then go on to use this data to break down silos, streamline workflows, and achieve interoperability across departments, functions, and systems. This includes the growing emphasis on AI-driven transformation across our customers’ teams, operations, and processes. A product data foundation is the backbone of AI-driven transformation.
Our business is based on a subscription model and 95% of our 2025 revenue was recurring in nature. Compared to a perpetual license model, our subscription model naturally drives higher customer engagement and retention and provides better business predictability. This, in turn, enables us to make steady and sustained investments to support our customers and pursue mid-to-long-term growth opportunities.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this document that are not historic facts, including statements about our future operating, financial and growth expectations, potential stock repurchases, and the expected timing of closing the sale of the Kepware and ThingWorx businesses (the "divestiture"), are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include: the macroeconomic and/or global manufacturing climates may not improve or may deteriorate due to, among other factors, the effects of import tariffs, threats of additional and reciprocal import tariffs, global trade and geopolitical tensions and uncertainty, volatile foreign exchange rates, high interest rates or increases in interest rates, inflation, and tightening of credit standards and availability, any of which could cause customers to delay or reduce purchases of new software, adopt competing software solutions, reduce the number of subscriptions they carry, or delay payments to us, which would adversely affect our ARR (Annual Run Rate) and/or financial results and cash flow and growth; our investments in our software solutions, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into our software solutions, may not drive expansion of those solutions and/or generate the ARR and/or cash flow we expect if customers are slower to adopt those solutions than we expect or if they adopt competing solutions; customers may not build the product data foundations

essential for the AI-driven transformation of their business when or as we expect, which could adversely affect our ARR and/or financial results and cash flow and growth; our go-to-market realignment and related initiatives may not generate the ARR and/or financial results or cash flow when or as we expect; the divestiture may not be consummated when or as we expect if, among other factors, regulatory approvals under applicable laws and regulations are not received when or as we expect, or if other closing conditions are not satisfied when or as we expect or are waived; the future thresholds upon which the additional contingent consideration of up to $125 million related to the divestiture would become payable may not be achieved; other uses of cash or our credit facility limits could limit or preclude the return of excess cash and the net proceeds of the divestiture to shareholders by way of share repurchases, or could change the amount and timing of any share repurchases; and foreign exchange rates may differ materially from those we expect. In addition, our assumptions concerning our future GAAP and non-GAAP effective income tax rates are based on estimates and other factors that could change, including changes to tax laws in the U.S. and other countries and the geographic mix of our revenue, expenses, and profits. Other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected are described below throughout or referenced in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.
Our Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our discussion of results includes discussion of our ARR operating measure, non-GAAP financial measures, and disclosure of our results on a constant currency basis. ARR and our non-GAAP financial measures are described below in Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The methodology used to calculate constant currency disclosures is described in Results of Operations - Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations. You should read those sections to understand our operating measure, non-GAAP financial measures, and constant currency disclosures.
Executive Overview
ARR grew 13% (8% constant currency) to $2.49 billion as of the end of Q1’26 compared to Q1’25.
Cash provided by operating activities grew 13% to $270 million in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25. Free cash flow grew 13% to $267 million in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25. In Q1'26, we made $10 million of divestiture-related payments. Our cash flow growth is attributable to resilient top-line growth due to our subscription business model and operational discipline. In Q1'26, we repurchased $200 million of our outstanding shares.
Revenue grew 21% (19% constant currency) to $686 million in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25, driven by growth in license revenue due to the higher total value and longer average duration of renewal contracts that commenced in the period. Operating margin grew by approximately 1180 basis points in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25, reflecting higher revenue as well as continued operating discipline. Diluted earnings per share grew 104% to $1.39 in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25, driven by revenue growth.
In Q1'26, we entered into an agreement to sell our Kepware and ThingWorx businesses and classified related assets and liabilities as held for sale. We may receive up to $600 million upon closing of the transaction, subject to adjustments as set forth in the purchase agreement. For further detail, refer to Note 5. Acquisitions and Divestitures to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The transaction is expected to close on or before April 1, 2026. Our expected use of the net after-tax proceeds will follow our overall capital allocation strategy of returning excess cash to shareholders via share repurchases.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations
Approximately 55% of our revenue and 30% of our expenses are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Because we report our results of operations in U.S. Dollars, currency translation, particularly changes in the Euro, Yen, Shekel, and Rupee relative to the U.S. Dollar, affects our reported results. Our constant currency disclosures are calculated by multiplying the results in local currency for the quarterly periods for FY'26 and FY'25 by the exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2025.
If Q1'26 reported results were converted into U.S. Dollars using the rates in effect as of September 30, 2025, ARR would have been higher by $6 million, revenue would have been higher by $4 million, and expenses would have been higher by $1 million. If Q1'25 reported results were converted into U.S. Dollars using the rates in effect as of September 30, 2025, ARR would have been higher by $102 million, revenue would have been higher by $16 million, and expenses would have been higher by $6 million.
Revenue
Under ASC 606, the volume, mix, and duration of contract types (support, SaaS, on-premises subscription) starting or renewing in any given period can have a material impact on revenue in the period, and as a result can impact the comparability of reported revenue period over period. We recognize revenue for the license portion of on-premises subscription contracts when we deliver the licenses to the customer, typically on the start date, and we recognize revenue on the support portion of on-premises subscription contracts and stand-alone support contracts ratably over the term. Revenue from our cloud services (primarily SaaS) contracts is recognized ratably. We expect that over time a higher portion of our revenue will be recognized ratably as we expand our SaaS offerings, release additional cloud functionality into our products, and migrate customers from on-premises subscriptions to SaaS. Given the different mix, duration and volume of new and renewing contracts in any period, year-over-year or sequential revenue can vary significantly.

Software revenue growth in Q1'26 was driven by license revenue growth, which reflects the higher total value and longer average duration of contracts that renewed in the current-year period.
Support and cloud services revenue growth in Q1'26 was driven by growth in both PLM and CAD.
Professional services revenue decreased in Q1'26 as we continue to execute on our strategy of leveraging partners to deliver services rather than contracting to deliver services ourselves.

License gross margin growth in Q1'26 was in line with license revenue growth. Cost of license revenue grew in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25, primarily due to higher royalty expenses.
Support and cloud services gross margin growth in Q1'26 was in line with support and cloud services revenue growth. Cost of support and cloud services revenue grew 11% in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25, primarily due to increasing compensation-related costs and cloud and software subscription-related costs as the business grows.
Professional services gross margin decreased in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25, primarily driven by a sharper decrease in professional services revenue than in professional services expense. The decreases in professional services revenue and costs are due to our continued execution on our strategy of leveraging partners to deliver services rather than contracting to deliver services ourselves.

The effective tax rate for Q1'26 was higher than the effective tax rate for the corresponding prior-year period primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of income before taxes. The effective tax rate for Q1’26 also reflected a net income tax benefit of $7 million related to IRS procedural guidance, as described below. Q1’25 included a benefit of $5 million associated with the impact of tax reserves related to prior years in a foreign jurisdiction.
In Q1’26, our rate included the effects of IRS procedural guidance requiring consent for previously automatic changes of accounting method. In 2024, we requested consent from the IRS to change our tax accounting method for the treatment of certain deductions. In Q1’26, upon receiving consent from the IRS, we released the reserve established in 2025 related to the procedural guidance, which resulted in a net income tax benefit of $7 million for the reversal of the associated accrued interest and indirect effects on GILTI and FDII in 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”) was enacted into law. The Act includes changes to U.S. tax law that are applicable to us beginning in FY'26. These changes include provisions allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. Our financials reflect the impact of the provisions of the Act that are applicable beginning FY'26.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as set forth under the heading Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We invest our cash with highly rated financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Due to the stability of our subscription model and consistency of annual, up-front billing, we aim to maintain a low cash balance. A significant portion of our cash is generated and held outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23 million in the U.S., $101 million in Europe, $69 million in Asia Pacific (including India) and $17 million in other countries. We have substantial cash requirements in the U.S. but believe that the combination of our existing U.S. cash and cash equivalents, cash available under our revolving credit facility, future U.S. operating cash inflows, and our ability to repatriate cash to the U.S. will be sufficient to meet our ongoing U.S. operating expenses and known capital requirements.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased $31 million in Q1'26 compared to Q1'25. Growth was driven by higher collections and lower vendor disbursements, partially offset by higher tax payments and higher salary and related payments. Additionally, Q1'26 included $10 million of divestiture-related payments.
Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities in Q1'26 and Q1'25 was driven by inflows from the settlement of net investment hedges.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities in Q1'26 included $200 million of repurchases of common stock. Cash used in financing activities in Q1'25 included net payments of $205 million on our credit facility and $75 million of repurchases of common stock.

As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility and the note indenture. As of December 31, 2025, the annual rate for borrowings outstanding under the credit facility was 5.2%.
Our credit facility and our senior notes are described in Note 10. Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of December 31, 2025, $25 million of our debt associated with the credit facility term loan was classified as current.
Future Expectations
We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash inflows from operations and amounts available under the credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term capital requirements.
We expect to use the net after-tax proceeds of the Kepware and ThingWorx divestiture to repurchase shares, in line with our long-term goal of returning excess cash to shareholders.
Our expected uses and sources of cash could change, our cash position could be reduced, and we could incur additional debt obligations if we retire other debt, engage in strategic transactions, or repurchase shares, any of which could be commenced, suspended, or completed at any time. Any such repurchases or retirement of debt will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any debt retirement or issuance, share repurchases, or strategic transactions may be material.
Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Operating Measure
ARR
ARR (Annual Run Rate) represents the annualized value of our portfolio of active subscription software, SaaS, hosting, and support contracts as of the end of the reporting period. We calculate ARR as follows:
26
Table of Contents
We believe ARR is a valuable operating measure to assess the health of a subscription business because it is aligned with the amount that we invoice the customer on an annual basis. We generally invoice customers annually for the current year of the contract. A customer with a one-year contract will typically be invoiced for the total value of the contract at the beginning of the contractual term, while a customer with a multi-year contract will be invoiced for each annual period at the beginning of each year of the contract.
ARR increases by the annualized value of active contracts that commence in a reporting period and decreases by the annualized value of contracts that expire in the reporting period.
As ARR is not annualized recurring revenue, it is not calculated based on recognized or unearned revenue and is not affected by variability in the timing of revenue under ASC 606, particularly for on-premises license subscriptions where a substantial portion of the total value of the contract is recognized as revenue at a point in time upon the later of when the software is made available, or the subscription term commences.
ARR should be viewed independently of recognized and unearned revenue and is not intended to be combined with, or to replace, either of those items. Investors should consider our ARR operating measure only in conjunction with our GAAP financial results.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we use them and exclude the items identified below are described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in the discussion of our results of operations and the respective most directly comparable GAAP measures are:
27
Table of Contents
The non-GAAP financial measures other than free cash flow exclude, as applicable: stock-based compensation expense; amortization of acquired intangible assets; acquisition and transaction-related charges included in General and administrative expenses; Impairment and other charges (credits), net; non-operating charges (credits), net; and income tax adjustments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 and as reflected in the reconciliation tables.
The items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures often have a material impact on our financial results, certain of those items are recurring, and other items often recur. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most closely comparable GAAP measure on our financial statements.
