"AI has become a key discussion point in customer conversations, and PTC is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this growing customer interest in AI. The need to modernize product data foundations in order to appropriately leverage AI is becoming clear to organizations, all while PTC establishes an intelligence layer to enable AI capabilities over our trusted solutions across CAD, PLM, ALM and SLM," concluded Barua.

As reported ARR excluding divested businesses excludes Kepware and ThingWorx ARR from Q3'25 to facilitate period-to-period comparisons following the divestiture of those businesses in Q2'26. ARR was flat year over year on an as reported basis in Q3'26.

On a constant currency basis, using our FY'26 Plan foreign exchange rates (rates as of September 30, 2025) for all periods. Constant currency ARR excluding divested businesses excludes Kepware and ThingWorx ARR from Q3'25.

Revenue and, as a result, operating margin and earnings per share are impacted under ASC 606.

In Q3'26, revenue declined 8% year over year on a constant currency basis.

"Our Q3 results reflect a focused business model, as the company's execution resulted in improved demand capture and customer adoption. Our strong financial performance in Q3 highlights the consistent commitment to excellence we strive for, resulting in our key metrics landing above the high end of our guidance. This performance to date and the visibility we have into our Q4 pipeline gives us confidence in raising the midpoint of our ARR guidance for the full year," said Jen DiRico, CFO.

"Further, we remain committed to our capital allocation priorities, reinvesting in the business while identifying tuck-in acquisitions and opportunities to repurchase PTC stock. Specific to Q3, we identified what we viewed as a compressed valuation of our stock and acted accordingly by repurchasing more than two times what we previously targeted for the quarter," concluded DiRico.

Excludes Kepware and ThingWorx ARR from FY'25 given the divestiture of those businesses in Q2'26. On a constant currency basis, using our FY'26 Plan foreign exchange rates (rates as of September 30, 2025) for all periods.

Refer to the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables below.

FY'26 cash flow guidance includes approximately $50 million of divestiture-related costs and approximately $100 million of divestiture-related cash taxes, partially offset by approximately $70 million of divestiture-related net free cash flow contribution, all of which are not expected to recur in future years. Also, FY'26 free cash flow guidance includes approximately $20 million of capital expenditures, which are not expected to recur in future years, primarily related to moving a major R&D center to a new office. FY'26 GAAP EPS guidance includes a $463 million gain on the sale of our Kepware and ThingWorx businesses, partially offset by approximately $140 million of divestiture-related expenses and taxes.

FY'26 includes Kepware and ThingWorx only until the divestiture on March 13, 2026; FY'25 includes Kepware and ThingWorx.

Q4'26 cash flow guidance includes approximately $26 million of divestiture-related costs and approximately $92 million of divestiture-related cash taxes, all of which are not expected to recur in future years. Also, Q4'26 free cash flow guidance includes approximately $11 million of capital expenditures, which are not expected to recur in future years, primarily related to moving a major R&D center to a new office.

Important Information About Our Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to our financial results. We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and we believe that they assist our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operating performance because they provide a view of our operating results without items that are not, in our view, indicative of our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP results as the items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures often have a material impact on our operating results, certain of those items are recurring, and others often recur. Management uses, and investors should consider, our non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with our GAAP results.

Non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the effect of the following items: stock-based compensation; 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 shown in the reconciliation provided; and income tax adjustments. Additional information about the items we exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we exclude them can be found in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

Free Cash Flow: We provide information on free cash flow 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 goals and intent to return excess cash to shareholders via stock repurchases. Free cash flow is cash provided by (used in) operations net of capital expenditures. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures.

Constant Currency (CC): We present CC information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. To present CC information, FY'26 and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars using the foreign exchange rate as of September 30, 2025, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during that period.

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:

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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this document that are not historic facts, including statements about our future operating, financial and growth expectations, and potential stock repurchases 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, including the recent military conflict in Iran, 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 those capabilities are not made available when or as we expect, if customers are slower to adopt those solutions than we expect, or if customers 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 proceeds we receive under the Transition Services Agreement entered into in connection with the divestiture of the Kepware and ThingWorx businesses may be lower than expected and/or may not offset our expenses and/or the cash flow impact of the divestiture to the extent expected; the divestiture and/or performance of the Transition Services Agreement may disrupt our business to a greater extent than we expect; other uses of cash or our credit facility limits could limit or preclude the return of excess cash 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 from time to time in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
