Results Commentary

James Heppelmann, president and chief executive officer, commented, "PTC's revenue and non-GAAP EPS were above the high end of our guidance range, while license revenue was near the high end of the range with no mega deals (transactions resulting in recognized license revenue of over $5 million in the quarter). We believe our strong EPS performance, in particular, reflects our continued efforts to drive margin expansion and earnings growth. License revenue of $79 million was flat year over year and on a constant currency basis compared to a strong performance in Q1'13, which was the fiscal year end for Servigistics, and a period in which we recognized significant revenue from a mega deal in the Americas. On a constant currency basis we saw 8% year-over-year revenue growth in Japan, 4% year-over-year revenue growth in the Americas, 2% year-over-year revenue growth in Europe, and a 12% year-over-year revenue decline in the Pacific Rim. Reported revenue in Japan and the Pacific Rim was down 13% and 12%, respectively, and in the Americas and Europe was up 4% and 6%, respectively."

Heppelmann added, "CAD license revenue grew 15% year over year on a constant currency and reported basis while total CAD revenue was up 4% on a constant currency basis and 3% on a reported basis. Our extended PLM business was up 1% year over year on a constant currency and reported basis compared to very strong performance in Q1'13, which included a mega deal. Our SLM business saw a 4% constant currency and reported revenue decline versus the year-ago period. Keep in mind that the Servigistics fiscal year ended in Q1'13; going forward, we expect seasonality in our SLM business to more closely resemble the rest of our business, and we continue to anticipate achieving strong SLM revenue growth in FY'14. We had 34 large deals (recognized license + services revenue of more than $1 million) in Q1'14, up from 27 in Q1'13. Similar to Q1'13, the mix of large deal revenue was skewed somewhat more heavily toward services. During the quarter we recognized revenue from leading organizations such as ABB Ltd, Air China, Airbus Helicopters, Brother Industries, DCNS, Embraer, HKMC, Liebherr, NVIDIA, Petrobras, Renault, and Volkswagen."

Jeff Glidden, chief financial officer, commented, "We delivered $0.50 non-GAAP EPS and achieved a 25.3% non-GAAP operating margin. We generated $36 million in operating cash flow, borrowed $110 million from our credit facility to fund the acquisition of ThingWorx early in the second quarter, and used $6 million for capital expenditures, resulting in an ending cash balance of $371 million."

Outlook Commentary

"Based on the strength of our pipeline, an expanding set of impact solutions that address key customer challenges, and our ability to address future growth opportunities in the smart, connected product space through our recent acquisition of ThingWorx, we are very excited about the longer-term growth opportunity for PTC. With strong Q1 results, we remain comfortable with our 25% non-GAAP operating margin target for FY'14. Furthermore, we are committed to driving non-GAAP margin expansion toward our FY'17 target range of 28% to 30%," said Heppelmann.

Glidden added, "For Q2'14, we are providing guidance of $320 to $330 million in revenue with $75 to $90 million in license revenue, approximately $75 million in services revenue and approximately $165 million in support revenue. We anticipate somewhat higher spending levels in Q2'14 driven by increased hiring, particularly within sales and R&D, annual salary increases, and the inclusion of the ThingWorx business. We are expecting Q2 non-GAAP EPS of $0.43 to $0.48 and GAAP EPS of $0.28 to $0.33 (excluding acquisition accounting for the ThingWorx transaction)."

The Q2 guidance assumes $1.36 USD / EURO and 104 YEN / USD, a non-GAAP tax rate of 25%, a GAAP tax rate of 25% and 121 million diluted shares outstanding. The Q2 non-GAAP guidance excludes $13 million of stock-based compensation expense, $12 million of intangible asset amortization expense, their related income tax effects, as well as any additional discrete tax items.

Glidden continued, "Given our Q1 performance and the inclusion of revenue from ThingWorx this fiscal year, we are now targeting FY'14 revenue of $1,330 to $1,345 million, license revenue of $355 to $370 million, services revenue of approximately $300 million and support revenue of approximately $675 million. We are targeting non-GAAP EPS of $2.03 to $2.13 and GAAP EPS of $1.38 to $1.48, up from our prior guidance of $2.00 to $2.10 non-GAAP EPS and $1.28 to $1.38 GAAP EPS, respectively."

The FY'14 targets assume a non-GAAP tax rate of 25%, a GAAP tax rate of 25% and 121 million diluted shares outstanding. The FY'14 non-GAAP guidance excludes $52 million of stock-based compensation expense, $49 million of intangible asset amortization expense, $1 million of restructuring charges, $1 million of acquisition-related charges and their related income tax effects, as well as any additional discrete tax items. Our Q2 and FY'14 guidance does not include the impact of acquisition accounting for the ThingWorx transaction, for which we expect to record a non-cash tax benefit due to the recording of deferred tax liabilities and the resulting reduction in the U.S. valuation allowance.

Q1 Earnings Conference Call and Webcast

Prepared remarks for the conference call have been posted to the investor relations section of our website. The prepared remarks will not be read live; the call will be primarily Q&A.

Important Information About Non-GAAP References

PTC provides non-GAAP supplemental information to its financial results. Non-GAAP revenue, operating expenses, margin and EPS exclude the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue of Servigistics, Inc., stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges, acquisition-related expenses and gains, and the related tax effects of the preceding items and 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 results on a constant currency basis to provide a year-over-year view of our results excluding the effect of currency translation. Our constant currency disclosures are calculated by multiplying the actual results for the first quarter of 2014 by the exchange rates in effect for the comparable period in 2013.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not historic facts, including statements about our fiscal 2014 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 climate may not improve or may deteriorate, the possibility that customers may not purchase or adopt our solutions when or at the rates we expect and that our pipeline deals may not convert as we expect, the possibility foreign currency exchange rates may vary from our expectations and thereby affect our reported revenue and expense, the possibility that we may not achieve the license, services or support growth rates that we expect, which could result in a different mix of revenue between license, service and support and could impact our EPS results, the possibility that we may be unable to improve services margins as we expect, the possibility that we may be unable to improve sales productivity as we expect, the possibility that our CAD and SLM businesses and the ThingWorx business may not expand and/or generate the revenue we expect, the possibility that resource constraints and personnel reductions could adversely affect our revenue, and the possibility that remedial actions relating to our previously announced investigation in China will have a material impact on our operations in China and that fines and penalties may be assessed against us in connection with this matter. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
