PTC Announces Third Quarter FY’15 Results

Reported Software Revenue Down 7%; Record IoT New Customers and Revenue Drives 2% Constant Currency Software Revenue Growth

NEEDHAM, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 29, 2015PTC (Nasdaq: PTC) today reported revenue for the third quarter of FY’15 of $303.1 million. Net income was $17.4 million or $0.15 per share, which compares to revenue of $336.6 million and net income of $38.0 million or $0.32 per share in the third quarter FY’14.

Third quarter FY’15 non-GAAP revenue was $303.9 million. Non-GAAP net income was $61.7 million or $0.53 per share, which compares to non-GAAP net income of $63.7 million or $0.53 per share, in the third quarter FY’14.

James Heppelmann, President and CEO said, “We delivered strong third quarter non-GAAP earnings, above the high end of guidance, as cost reductions and focused portfolio management offset the effects of a more challenging macroeconomic climate on our core business. During the quarter, we saw record bookings, revenue, and new customer additions in our Internet of Things business, with several large industrial companies adopting our ThingWorx platform for their IoT initiatives. We believe our IoT vision aligns with the major strategic shift driven by product connectivity.”

Information about our use of non-GAAP measures, our bookings measure, our license mix-adjusted measures, and constant currency change measure is discussed in “Important Information About Non-GAAP References,” “Bookings Metric,” “License Mix-Adjusted Metrics” and “Constant Currency Change Metric” below. Reconciliations of our GAAP and non-GAAP measures are provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

The fourth quarter and FY’15 GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin and GAAP and non-GAAP EPS guidance exclude the estimated settlement losses of approximately $65 million related to the termination of our U.S. Computervision pension plan. While we expect to complete the termination process by September 30, 2015, the amount of the losses will vary based on the timing of the settlements and the amount of the projected benefit obligations and assets in the plan measured as of the dates the settlements occur.

The fourth quarter and full year FY’15 non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP EPS guidance also exclude the following items and their income tax effects, as well as any discrete tax items:

Bookings Metric

We offer both perpetual and subscription licensing options to our customers. Given the difference in revenue recognition between the sale of a perpetual software license (revenue is recognized at the time of sale) and a subscription (revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription term), we use bookings for internal planning, forecasting and reporting of new license and cloud services transactions. In order to normalize between perpetual and subscription transactions, we define bookings as either the annualized contract value (ACV) of a new subscription multiplied by a conversion factor of 2 or the perpetual license revenue recognized. We arrived at the conversion factor of 2 by considering a number of variables including pricing, support, length of term, and renewal rates. We define ACV as the total value of a new subscription solutions booking divided by the term of the contract (in days) multiplied by 365, unless the term is less than one year, in which case the contract value equals the ACV. When calculating L&SS bookings for a period, we add the value of the converted subscription solutions booking to our perpetual license revenue recognized for the period.

License Mix-Adjusted Metrics

These metrics assume that all new software and cloud services bookings since the start of FY’14 were perpetual license sales that included support in subsequent periods. The license mix-adjusted amount is calculated by converting the ACV (as defined above) of a new subscription solutions booking in the period to an assumed perpetual license equivalent by multiplying the ACV by a conversion factor of 2 (as defined above), and adding that amount to the perpetual license revenue amounts recognized in that period. Support calculated at 20% of the annual value of the converted amount is added to support revenue in future periods, beginning the quarter after the converted booking is assumed to be recognized. The assumed support revenue is recognized ratably over a 12 month period and is assumed to renew in subsequent years.

Constant Currency Change Metric

Year-over-year changes in revenue on a constant currency basis compare actual reported results converted into U.S. dollars based on the corresponding prior year’s foreign currency exchange rates to reported results for the comparable prior year period.

Important Information About Non-GAAP References

PTC provides non-GAAP supplemental information to its financial results. Non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges, acquisition-related expenses, costs associated with terminating a U.S. pension plan, a litigation accrual of $13.6 million associated with our previously disclosed China investigation, certain identified non-operating gains and losses, the related tax effects of the preceding items, and certain discrete tax items. We use these non-GAAP measures, and we believe that they assist our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operational performance because they provide a view of our operating results without items that are not, in our view, indicative of our core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business, and we use the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to the results of peer companies. In addition, compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. However, non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on PTC’s financial results. Management uses, and investors should consider, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.

PTC also provides information on “free cash flow” and “free cash flow return” to enable investors to assess our ability to generate cash without incurring additional external financings and to evaluate our performance against our announced long-term goal of returning approximately 40% of our free cash flow to shareholders via stock repurchases. Free-cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and free-cash flow return is the value of shares repurchased divided by free cash flow.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not historic facts, including statements about our fourth quarter and full fiscal 2015 targets and other future financial and growth expectations and anticipated tax rates, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include the possibility that the macroeconomic and/or global manufacturing climates may not improve or may deteriorate, the possibility that customers may not purchase our solutions when or at the rates we expect, the possibility that our businesses, including our Internet of Things (IoT) business, may not expand and/or generate the revenue we expect, the possibility that new products released and planned products, including IoT enabled core products, may not generate the revenue we expect or be released as we expect, the possibility that foreign currency exchange rates may vary from our expectations and thereby affect our reported revenue and expense, the possibility that the mix of revenue between license & subscription solutions, support and professional services could be different than we expect, which could impact our EPS results, the possibility that our customers may purchase more of our solutions as subscriptions than we expect, which would adversely affect near-term revenue, operating margins, and EPS, the possibility that sales of our solutions as subscriptions may not have the longer-term effect on revenue that we expect, the possibility that our workforce realignment may adversely affect our operations, the possibility that we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flow to return 40% of free cash flow to shareholders or that other uses of cash could preclude share repurchases, and the possibility that we may incur additional acquisition-related and pension plan termination-related expenses and losses than we expect.

Further, our results could be materially adversely affected by the resolution of our previously announced investigation in China. In the third quarter, we recorded a liability of $13.6 million associated with pending discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice to resolve this matter. This is the minimum amount of liability we expect to incur if we are able to reach a settlement in this matter, and does not include any amounts associated with potential fines that might be imposed by either or both of the SEC and DOJ, which amounts would increase our liability and could be significant. There can be no assurance that we will reach a settlement with these agencies or that the cost of such settlements, if reached, would not materially exceed the existing accrual.

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 the geographic mix of our revenue, expenses and profits and loans and cash repatriations from foreign subsidiaries. Other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected are detailed from time to time in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(3) Income tax adjustments for the three and nine months ended July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014 reflect the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments which are calculated by applying the applicable tax rate by jurisdiction to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above, and also include any identified tax items. In the fourth quarter of 2012, a valuation allowance was established against our U.S. net deferred tax assets. Similarly, in the fourth quarter of 2014, valuation allowances were established against our foreign net deferred tax assets in two foreign jurisdictions. As the U.S. and the two foreign jurisdictions are profitable on a non-GAAP basis, the 2015 and 2014 non-GAAP tax provisions are being calculated assuming there is no valuation allowance in these jurisdictions. The following identified tax item has been excluded from the non-GAAP tax results: Q2'14 includes a non-cash tax benefit of $8.9 million related to the release of a portion of the valuation allowance as a result of deferred tax liabilities established for the acquisition of ThingWorx.
