PTC Announces Solid Q3 Results, Increases FY’12 EPS Guidance

NEEDHAM, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 25, 2012 — PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC) today reported results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Highlights

The Q3 non-GAAP revenue results exclude a $0.2 million effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of the acquired deferred maintenance balance of MKS Inc. The Q3 non-GAAP EPS results also exclude $13.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $9.0 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, $4.1 million of restructuring charges, and $5.3 million of income tax adjustments. The Q3 results include a non-GAAP tax rate of 23%, a GAAP tax rate of 26% and 121 million diluted shares outstanding.

Results Commentary

James Heppelmann, president and chief executive officer, commented, “PTC delivered solid operating results, with Q3 non-GAAP revenue toward the higher end of our guidance range and non-GAAP EPS exceeding the high end of our guidance range. Our license revenue of $83.8 million was up 7% year over year on a constant currency basis. Organic license revenue increased 1% year over year on a constant currency basis reflecting very strong comparable results in Q3’11 – particularly in our MCAD business. From a geographic perspective, Europe continued to perform in line with our expectations and the Pac Rim and Japan delivered strong results. While Americas performance lagged other geographies in Q3, our pipeline continues to build and we are optimistic about the outlook for this region in Q4’12.” Reported license revenue was up 3% year over year and reported organic license revenue was down 3% year over year.

Heppelmann added, “We had 34 large deals (recognition of license + services revenue of more than $1 million from a single customer) in Q3’12, compared to 25 in Q2’12. We believe this is an indicator of the strength of our pipeline for business opportunities with new and existing customers. During the quarter we recognized revenue from leading organizations such as FAW Group, Jenoptick, KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG, Levi Strauss, Samsung, Stryker, US Navy and Volvo.”

Heppelmann continued, “We are excited about the market momentum we are seeing and remain committed to driving margin expansion. In spite of weaker macroeconomic conditions and currency headwinds (currency alone could negatively impact FY’13 revenues by approximately $40 million) we are targeting FY’13 non-GAAP EPS of $1.70 to $1.80.” We will provide formal FY’13 guidance in conjunction with our Q4 results in October.

Jeff Glidden, chief financial officer, commented, “From a profitability standpoint, Q3 was another solid quarter with a good mix of revenue, strong services margins, and lower operating expenses as we remained disciplined on hiring and spending. We delivered $0.37 non-GAAP EPS, an increase of 16% from $0.32 non-GAAP EPS in Q3’11. We ended Q3’12 with $238 million of cash up from $224 million at the end of Q2’12, reflecting strong operating cash flow, offset by $20 million used to repay our revolving credit facility and $20 million for stock repurchases.”

Outlook Commentary

Glidden added, “For Q4, we are providing guidance of $320 to $335 million in revenue with $100 to $115 million in license revenue, approximately $70 million in services revenue and $150 million in maintenance revenue. Q4 guidance assumes $1.20 USD / EURO, down from previous assumption of $1.30. We are expecting Q4 non-GAAP EPS of $0.44 to $0.50 and GAAP EPS of $0.33 to $0.39.” The Q4 guidance assumes a non-GAAP tax rate of 25%, a GAAP tax rate of 20% and 121 million diluted shares outstanding. The Q4 non-GAAP EPS guidance excludes $12 million of stock-based compensation expense, $9 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense, and their related income tax effects.

Glidden continued, “Looking to the full year FY’12, we are now targeting non-GAAP revenue of $1,255 to $1,270 million, representing 10% to 11% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis. We are now targeting license revenue of approximately $355 million (up 6% year-over-year on a constant currency basis), services revenue of approximately $300 million and non-GAAP maintenance revenue of $610 million. Our commitment to profitability remains squarely on track. We continue to work toward significant improvement in services non-GAAP net margins with a target of at least 12% for the year, and we are targeting approximately 180bps of non-GAAP operating margin improvement during FY’12. Our new FY’12 non-GAAP EPS target is $1.46 to $1.52.” On a reported revenue basis, we are now targeting FY’12 non-GAAP and GAAP revenue growth of 7% to 9% year-over-year, license revenue growth of 4% year-over-year and a GAAP EPS target of $0.73 to $0.80 with a target of approximately $607 million in GAAP maintenance revenue.

The FY’12 targets assume a non-GAAP tax rate of 24.5%, a GAAP tax rate of 23% and 121 million diluted shares outstanding. The FY’12 non-GAAP targets exclude approximately $25 million in restructuring charges, $3 million for the effect of purchase accounting on acquired MKS deferred maintenance revenue, $52 million of stock-based compensation expense, $36 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, $3 million of acquisition-related expenses, $1 million of other expense, their related income tax effects, as well as any one time tax items.

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 the acquired deferred maintenance balance of MKS Inc., stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges, certain foreign currency transaction losses, and the related tax effects of the preceding items and any one-time tax items. Constant currency measures are calculated by multiplying results by the exchange rates in effect for the comparable periods in the prior year and assumes no change in tax rates. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not historic facts, including statements about our fiscal 2012, fiscal 2013 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 customers may not purchase our solutions when or at the rates we expect, the possibility that our pipeline of opportunities in North America may not generate the revenue we expect, the possibility that we will be unable to achieve planned services margins and operating margin improvements, the possibility that foreign currency exchange rates may vary from our expectations and thereby affect our reported revenue and expenses, and the possibility that we may not achieve the license, services or maintenance growth rates that we expect, which could result in a different mix of revenue between license, service and maintenance and could impact our EPS results. 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.

(3)     In the first quarter of 2012 we recorded $0.8 million of foreign currency transaction losses related to MKS legal entity mergers completed during the quarter. In the third quarter of 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we had entered into forward contracts to reduce our foreign currency exposure related to changes in the Canadian to U.S. Dollar exchange rate from the time we entered into the agreement in early April to acquire MKS (the purchase price was in Canadian Dollars) and the closing date which occurred on May 31, 2011. We realized foreign currency losses of $4.4 million recorded as other expense related to the acquisition. In the first quarter of 2011 we recorded $0.7 million of foreign currency losses related to a previously announced litigation settlement in Japan.
