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 (U.S. 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2022. 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 at the dates and for the periods indicated. The September 30, 2022 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

Reference Rate Reform

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The ASU provides an update to the previously issued ASU 2020-04 to defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. In conjunction with our new credit agreement in January 2023, we have transitioned off of rates subject to reference rate reform without a material impact from such transition.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

(in thousands)	December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022
Contract asset	$	21,295	$	21,096
Deferred revenue	$	516,033	$	520,333

As of December 31, 2022, $16.7 million of our contract assets are expected to be transferred to receivables within the next 12 months and therefore are included in Other current assets. The remainder is included in Other long-term assets and expected to be transferred within the next 24 months. Approximately $6.0 million of the September 30, 2022 contract asset balance was transferred to receivables during the three months ended December 31, 2022 as a result of the right to payment becoming unconditional. Additions to contract assets of approximately $6.2 million related to revenue recognized in the period, net of billings. The majority of the contract asset balance relates to two large professional services contracts with invoicing terms based on performance milestones. There were no impairments of contract assets during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

6

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized $219.7 million of revenue that was included in Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022 and there were additional deferrals of $215.4 million, primarily related to new billings. For subscription contracts, we generally invoice customers annually. The balance of total short- and long-term receivables as of December 31, 2022 was $801.3 million, compared to total short- and long-term receivables as of September 30, 2022 of $871.0 million.

Our multi-year, non-cancellable on-premises subscription contracts provide customers with an annual right to exchange software within the subscription with other software. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, our total revenue liability was $34.6 million and $34.2 million, respectively, primarily associated with the annual right to exchange on-premises subscription software.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable, historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic conditions, and accounts receivable aging trends. Our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable was $0.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. Uncollectible trade accounts receivable written-off, net of recoveries and net bad debt expense were immaterial for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefit of those costs is expected to be longer than one year. These deferred costs primarily related to commissions. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, deferred costs of $41.3 million and $40.7 million, respectively, are included in Other current assets and $77.6 million and $77.0 million, respectively, are included in Other assets (non-current). Amortization expense related to costs to obtain a contract with a customer was $12.0 million and $11.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There were no impairments of the contract cost asset in the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers include transaction price amounts allocated to performance obligations that will be satisfied and recognized as revenue at a later date. As of December 31, 2022, the transaction price amounts include performance obligations of $516.0 million recorded in Deferred revenue and $1,205.9 million that are not yet recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to recognize approximately 59% of the total $1,721.9 million over the next 12 months, with the remaining amount thereafter.

The RSUs earned will vest on November 15, 2025. Up to a maximum of two times the number of rTSR RSUs eligible to be earned for the period (up to a maximum aggregate of 139 thousand RSUs) may vest. If the PTC stock price as of September 30, 2022 is higher than the PTC stock price as of September 30, 2025, but still meets or exceeds the peer group indexed return, a maximum of 100% of the rTSR RSUs may vest.

The weighted-average fair value of the rTSR RSUs was $179.60 per target RSU on the grant date. The fair value of the rTSR RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The significant assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows:

Average volatility of peer group	41.54	%
Risk free interest rate	4.12	%
Dividend yield	—	%

Total value on vest date of RSUs vested are as follows:

6. Acquisitions and Disposition of Business

Acquisition and transaction-related costs in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $5.8 million, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. These costs are classified in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquisition and transaction-related costs include direct costs of potential and completed acquisitions and dispositions (e.g., investment banker fees and professional fees, including diligence, legal and valuation services), expenses related to acquisition integration activities (e.g., professional fees and severance), and third-party costs related to structuring transactions.

Our results of operations include the results of acquired or sold businesses beginning on their respective acquisition or sale date. Our results of operations for the reported periods if presented on a pro forma basis would not differ materially from our reported results.

Refer to Note 15. Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the acquisition of ServiceMax Inc. in January 2023.

Intland Software

On April 29, 2022, we acquired Intland Software, GmbH, and Eger Invest GmbH (together, “Intland Software”) pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement. Intland Software developed and marketed the Codebeamer™ Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) family of software products. The purchase price of the acquisition was $278.1 million, net of cash acquired, which was financed with cash on hand and $264 million borrowed under our existing credit facility. Intland Software had approximately 150 employees on the close date.

The acquisition of Intland Software has been accounted for as a business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using a discounted cash flow model which requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future revenues and costs. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

The purchase price allocation resulted in $240.9 million of goodwill, $38.8 million of customer relationships, $19.1 million of purchased software, $1.3 million of trademarks, $20.1 million of deferred tax liabilities, $0.7 million of income tax payables, $6.9 million of deferred revenue, $6.5 million of accounts receivable, and $0.8 million of other net liabilities.

The acquired customer relationships, purchased software, and trademarks are being amortized over useful lives of 11 years, 10 years, and 10 years, respectively, based on the expected economic benefit pattern of the assets. The acquired goodwill was allocated to our software products segment and will not be deductible for income tax purposes. The resulting amount of goodwill reflects the expected value that will be created by expanding our ALM offerings, which are complementary to our PLM offerings.

PLM Services Business Disposition

On June 1, 2022, we sold a portion of our PLM services business to ITC Infotech India Limited ("ITC Infotech") pursuant to the Strategic Partner Agreement dated as of April 20, 2022 by and among PTC and ITC Infotech India Limited. Consideration received from ITC Infotech for the sale was approximately $60.4 million, consisting of $32.5 million cash paid on closing and $28.0 million of services to be provided by ITC Infotech to PTC for no additional charge.

11

We recognized a gain on the sale of $29.8 million in Q3'22, which consisted of $60.4 million of consideration received, less net assets of the business of $30.6 million. Net assets included $33.0 million of goodwill allocated to the business, less $2.4 million of liabilities associated with approximately 160 employees who transferred to ITC Infotech. Goodwill was allocated to the sold business based on a relative fair value allocation of total goodwill of the Professional Services segment.

Additional future contingent consideration of up to $20 million may be received within 2 years of the disposition based on certain performance milestones. We have elected to defer the recognition of gains associated with contingent consideration until they become realizable.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Software Products and (2) Professional Services. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are determined based on the components of our operating segments that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management. Our reporting units are the same as our operating segments.

As of December 31, 2022, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our Software Products segment was $2,751.2 million and attributable to our Professional Services segment was $11.2 million. As of September 30, 2022, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our Software Products segment was $2,725.2 million and attributable to our Professional Services segment was $11.2 million. Acquired intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting segment below its carrying value. If a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of goodwill and its estimated fair value. Factors we consider important, on an overall company basis and segment basis, when applicable, that could trigger an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period and a reduction of our market capitalization relative to net book value.

We completed our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 30, 2022, which consisted of a qualitative assessment of our Software Products segment and a quantitative assessment of our Professional Services segment. Our qualitative assessment for Software Products included company-specific (e.g., financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, as well as consideration of the fair value of each reporting unit relative to its carrying value at the last valuation date (June 27, 2020). Our quantitative assessment for the Professional Services segment compared the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. We estimated the fair value of the Professional Services reporting unit using a discounted cash flow valuation model. Based on our qualitative assessment for the Software Products segment and quantitative assessment for the Professional Services segment as of June 30, 2022, no impairment was required. Through December 31, 2022, there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangible assets may not be recoverable.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. GAAP prescribes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

•Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

13

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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 usually are 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.

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were as follows:

(in thousands)	December 31, 2022

Level 3 Investments

Convertible Note

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we invested $2.0 million in a non-marketable convertible note. This debt security is classified as available-for-sale and is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no changes in the fair value of this level 3 investment in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Equity Securities

During the first quarter of 2022, we recognized a gain of $9.8 million in Other income (expense), net related to an increase in value of equity securities we held Matterport, Inc., which was recorded at a fair value of $87.3 million in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All shares owned in Matterport were sold in 2022 and we did not hold any equity securities as of December 31, 2022 or September 30, 2022.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency forward contracts and options, to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk in order to reduce earnings volatility. We do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.

The following table shows our derivative instruments measured at gross fair value as reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(in thousands)	Fair Value of Derivatives Designated As Hedging Instruments				Fair Value of Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments
	December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022

(2)As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, current derivative liabilities of $3.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

15

Non-Designated Hedges

We hedge our net foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities primarily resulting from foreign currency denominated receivables and payables with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts have maturities of up to approximately three months. Generally, we do not designate these foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into forward contracts only as an economic hedge, any gain or loss on the underlying foreign-denominated balance would be offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in Other income (expense), net.

We hedge our forecasted U.S. Dollar cash flows with foreign exchange options to reduce the risk that they will be adversely affected by changes in Euro or Japanese Yen exchange rates. These contracts have maturities of up to approximately nine months. We do not designate these foreign currency options as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into options as an economic hedge, currency impacts on the Euro or Japanese Yen-denominated operations as compared to the forecasted plan rate may be partially offset by the gain on the put option. Gain on put options are included in Other income (expense), net.

As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had outstanding forward contracts and options with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

Currency Hedged (in thousands)	December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022

(1)As of December 31, 2022, $319.6 million of the Euro to U.S. Dollar outstanding notional amount relates to forward contracts and $192.3 million relates to options. As of September 30, 2022, all the Euro to U.S. Dollar outstanding notional amount relates to forward contracts.

(2)As of December 31, 2022, $14.5 million of the Japanese Yen to U.S. Dollar outstanding notional amount relates to forward contracts and $55.2 million relates to options. As of September 30, 2022, all the Japanese Yen to U.S. Dollar outstanding notional amount relates to forward contracts.

The following table shows the effect of our non-designated hedges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(in thousands)		Three months ended

16

In the three months ended December 31, 2022, foreign currency losses, net were $3.2 million. In the three months ended December 31, 2021, foreign currency losses, net were $4.4 million.

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 three months.

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 and subsequently reclassify them to foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss at the time of forward contract maturity. 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, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had outstanding forward contracts designated as net investment hedges with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

Currency Hedged (in thousands)	December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022
Euro / U.S. Dollar	$	176,076	$	110,446
JPY/ U.S Dollar		11,437		—
Total	$	187,513	$	110,446

The following table shows the effect of our derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities

We have entered into master netting arrangements for our forward contracts that allow net settlements under certain conditions. Although netting is permitted, it is currently our policy and practice to record all derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table sets forth the offsetting of derivative assets as of December 31, 2022:

10. Segment and Geographic Information

We operate within a single industry segment – computer software and related services. Operating segments as defined under GAAP are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Software Products, which includes license, subscription and related support revenue (including updates and technical support) for all our products; and (2) Professional Services, which includes consulting, implementation and training services. We do not allocate sales and marketing or general and administrative expense to our operating segments as these activities are managed on a consolidated basis. Additionally, segment profit does not include stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and certain other identified costs that we do not allocate to the segments for purposes of evaluating their operational performance.

The revenue and profit attributable to our operating segments are summarized below. We do not produce asset information by reportable segment; therefore, it is not reported.

11. Income Taxes

(in thousands)	Three months ended
	December 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Income before income taxes	$	86,424		$	55,376
Provision for income taxes	$	11,389		$	9,287
Effective income tax rate		13	%		17	%

In the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% due to our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. A significant amount of our foreign earnings is generated by our subsidiaries organized in Ireland and the Cayman Islands. In 2023 and 2022, the foreign rate differential predominantly relates to these earnings.

In 2023 and 2022, in addition to the foreign rate differential, the effective tax rate was impacted by the net effects of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) and Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) regimes and the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.

We reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period. We assess available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use our existing deferred tax assets. In the assessment for the period ended December 31, 2022, we maintain our conclusion that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal and state income will be realizable.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service 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, limitations on net operating losses and tax credits.

As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $25.5 million and $23.9 million, respectively. If all our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 were to become recognizable in the future, we would record a benefit to the income tax provision of $25.5 million, which would be partially offset by an increase in the U.S. valuation allowance of $5.3 million.

Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in favorable or unfavorable changes in our estimates. We believe it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to the resolution of multi-jurisdictional tax positions could be reduced by up to $5 million.

12. Debt

At December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had the following long-term debt obligations:

(in thousands)	December 31, 2022			September 30, 2022
4.000% Senior notes due 2028	$	500,000		$	500,000
3.625% Senior notes due 2025		500,000			500,000
Credit facility revolver(1)		359,000			359,000
Total debt		1,359,000			1,359,000
Unamortized debt issuance costs for the senior notes(2)		(7,829	)		(8,372	)
Total debt, net of issuance costs	$	1,351,171		$	1,350,628

(1) Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the credit facility were $3.2 million and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) Unamortized debt issuance costs are included in Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In February 2020, we issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.0% senior, unsecured long-term debt at par value, due in 2028 (the 2028 notes) and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior, unsecured long-term debt at par value, due in 2025 (the 2025 notes).

As of December 31, 2022, the total estimated fair value of the 2028 and 2025 notes was approximately $455.2 million and $476.9 million, respectively, based on quoted prices for the notes on that date.

We were in compliance with all the covenants for all of our senior notes as of December 31, 2022. Any failure to comply with such covenants could constitute a default that could cause all amounts outstanding to become due and payable immediately.

Terms of the 2028 and 2025 Notes

Interest on the 2028 and 2025 notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15. The debt indenture for the 2028 and 2025 notes includes covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, grant liens on our properties or capital stock, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or asset sales, and make capital distributions.

We may, on one or more occasions, redeem the 2028 and 2025 notes in whole or in part at specified redemption prices. In certain circumstances constituting a change of control, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Our ability to repurchase the notes upon such event may be limited by law, by the indenture associated with the notes, by our then-available financial resources or by the terms of other agreements to which we may be party at such time. If we fail to repurchase the notes as required by the indenture, it would constitute an event of default under the indenture which, in turn, may also constitute an event of default under other obligations.

21

Credit Agreement

We were party to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, from February 2020 through January 3, 2023 (the "Prior Credit Facility"). We used the Prior Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of businesses, share repurchases and working capital requirements.

On January 3, 2023, subsequent to the end of Q1’23, we terminated the Prior Credit Facility and repaid all amounts outstanding and entered into a new credit agreement for the purpose of funding the payment of the closing purchase price of ServiceMax. Refer to Note 15. Subsequent Events for additional discussion regarding the new credit agreement and acquisition of ServiceMax.

The Prior Credit Facility, in effect as of December 31, 2022, consisted of a $1 billion revolving credit facility, which could have been increased by up to an additional $500 million in the aggregate if the existing or additional lenders were willing to make such increased commitments. The revolving loan commitment did not require amortization of principal and could have been repaid in whole or in part prior to the scheduled maturity date at our option without penalty or premium. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of our credit facility approximated its book value.

Loans under the Prior Credit Facility bore interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days depending on the rate and period selected by PTC as described below. As of December 31, 2022, the annual rate for borrowings outstanding was 5.7%.

Under the Prior Credit Facility PTC and its subsidiaries were required to maintain the following financial ratios:

•Total leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, not to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter;

•Senior secured leverage ratio, defined as senior consolidated total indebtedness (which excludes unsecured indebtedness) to the consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; and

•Interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA to consolidated trailing four quarters of cash basis interest expense, of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.

As of December 31, 2022, our total leverage ratio was 1.79 to 1.00, our senior secured leverage ratio was 0.49 to 1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was 14.05 to 1.00 and we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the Prior Credit Facility.

In the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, we paid $4.8 million and $2.4 million of interest on our debt, respectively. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding during the first quarters of 2023 and 2022 was approximately 4.2% and 3.2%, respectively.

22

13. Leases

Our operating leases expire at various dates through 2037 and are primarily for office space, automobiles, servers, and office equipment.

Our headquarters are located at 121 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts. In February 2019, we subleased a portion of our headquarters through June 30, 2022, and received approximately $9.1 million in sublease income over the term of the sublease. In March 2022, we extended the sublease through June 30, 2023, and we will receive $2.9 million in sublease income over the term of the extension.

The components of lease cost reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

23

14. Commitments and Contingencies

As December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of $15.1 million (of which $0.5 million was collateralized) and $15.3 million (of which $0.5 million was collateralized), respectively, primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

Legal Proceedings

With respect to legal proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

401(k) Plan

On September 17, 2020, three individual plaintiffs filed a putative class action lawsuit against PTC, the Investment Committee for the PTC Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), and the PTC Board of Directors (collectively, the “PTC Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 in the oversight of the Plan. On September 22, 2021, the plaintiffs and the PTC Defendants reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit for a gross settlement amount of $1.725 million. The Court issued an Order of final approval of the settlement on October 18, 2022. PTC's insurer fully funded the Qualified Settlement Fund, per the terms of the approved Settlement Agreement, in November 2022.

Other Legal Proceedings

In addition to the matter listed above, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims against us in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2022, we estimate that the range of possible outcomes for such matters is immaterial and we do not believe that resolving them will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any of these legal proceedings and claims be resolved against us, the operating results for a reporting period could be adversely affected.

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. Except for intellectual property infringement indemnification, these agreements typically limit our liability with respect to other indemnification 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/subscription. 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.

15. Subsequent Events

Acquisition of ServiceMax Inc.

On January 3, 2023, we acquired ServiceMax, Inc. pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement dated November 17, 2022 by and among PTC, ServiceMax, Inc., and ServiceMax JV, LP. The preliminary purchase price is $1,478 million, net of cash acquired, which is payable in two installments. Upon closing of the transaction, PTC paid the first purchase payment installment of $835 million, as adjusted for working capital, indebtedness, cash, and transaction expenses as set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. The remaining purchase payment installment of $650 million is payable on October 2, 2023, without interest and not subject to contingencies. The terms of the Share Price Agreement are described in the Form 8-K filed by PTC on November 17, 2022.

Entry into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; Termination of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On January 3, 2023, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among PTC, PTC (IFSC) Limited, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility consists of a $1,250 million revolving credit facility and $500 million new term loan. The terms of the New Credit Facility are described in the Form 8-K filed by PTC on January 3, 2023.

In connection with entry into the New Credit Facility, PTC terminated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 13, 2020 by and among PTC, PTC (IFSC) Limited, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto. Approximately $359 million was outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility at the time of termination, which amount was repaid with a borrowing of the same amount under the New Credit Facility upon closing of New Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On January 3, 2023, PTC borrowed $630 million under the revolving line of the New Credit Facility and $500 million under the new term loan of the New Credit Facility to repay amounts under the Prior Credit Facility and to pay the closing purchase price for, and transaction expenses related to, the acquisition of ServiceMax, Inc., including the repayment of certain indebtedness of ServiceMax or its subsidiaries, bringing our total outstanding indebtedness to approximately $2,130 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Overview

PTC is a global software company that provides a portfolio of innovative digital solutions that work together to transform how physical products are engineered, manufactured, and serviced.

Our software portfolio includes award-winning offerings that enable companies to author product data (our CAD portfolio solutions) and manage product data management and orchestrate processes (our PLM portfolio solutions). Our software can be delivered on premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid model.

Our customer base includes some of the world's most innovative companies in the aerospace and defense, automotive, electronics and high tech, industrial machinery and equipment, life sciences, retail and consumer products industries.

We generate revenue through the sale of software subscriptions, which include license access and support (technical support and software updates); support for perpetual licenses; cloud services (hosting for our software and software-as-a-service (SaaS)); perpetual licenses; and professional services (consulting, implementation, and training).

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this document that are not historic facts, including statements about our future financial and growth expectations and targets, the expected effect of the ServiceMax acquisition on our business and future results, 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 deteriorate sooner or to a greater extent than we expect due to, among other factors, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply chain disruptions, increasing interest rates and inflation, volatile foreign exchange rates and the current strength of the U.S. dollar, and the effects of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, including the effect on energy supplies to Europe, all of which could cause customers to delay or reduce purchases of new software, reduce the number of subscriptions they carry, or delay payments to us, which would adversely affect ARR and/or our financial results, including cash flow; our businesses, including our ServiceMax and SaaS businesses, may not expand and/or generate the revenue, cash flow, or ARR we expect if customers are slower to adopt those technologies than we expect or if they adopt competing technologies; our strategic initiatives and investments, including our accelerated investments in our transition to SaaS and the acquisition of ServiceMax, may not deliver the results when or as we expect; we may be unable to integrate the ServiceMax technology when or as we expect; we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flow to return 50% of free cash flow to shareholders, and other uses of cash or our credit facility limits could preclude such 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 the geographic mix of our revenue, expenses, and profits, as well as other risks and uncertainties described below throughout or referenced in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.

Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our discussion of results includes discussion of our ARR (Annual Run Rate) operating measure, non-GAAP financial measures, and disclosure of our results on a constant currency basis. ARR and our non-GAAP financial measures, including the reasons we use those measures, are described below in Results of Operations - Operating Measure and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures, respectively. 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 of $1.66 billion at the end of Q1’23 represents 11% growth (15% on a constant currency basis) compared to Q1’22, including contribution from the Codebeamer™ business that we acquired in Q3’22. Organic constant currency ARR growth year over year was 14%. Although ARR grew in Q1’23 due to new bookings and churn improvement, we saw some incremental signs of a softening economy as new bookings came in below our expectations.

We generated $181 million of cash from operations in Q1’23 compared to $138 million in Q1’22, with the increase driven by strong operational execution based on a foundation of top line growth, solid collections and cost discipline. Free cash flow of $172 million in Q1'23 increased from $134 million in Q1'22, which includes capital expenditures of $9 million in Q1'23 and $3 million in Q1'22.

During Q1'23, we entered into an agreement to purchase ServiceMax, Inc. for $1.5 billion. The transaction subsequently closed in early Q2'23 and we made the first installment payment of $835 million, funded by new a new credit agreement that we entered into in connection with the closing of the acquisition. Refer to Note 15. Subsequent Events for additional discussion regarding the acquisition and the new credit agreement.

Results of Operations

The following table shows the financial measures that we consider the most significant indicators of our business performance. In addition to providing operating income, operating margin, diluted earnings per share and cash from operations as calculated under GAAP, we provide non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow for the reported periods. We also provide a view of our actual results on a constant currency basis. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the items described in Non-GAAP Financial Measures below. Investors should use these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with our GAAP results.

(1)See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of our GAAP results to our non-GAAP financial measures and Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations below for a description of how we calculate our results on a constant currency basis.

(2)Recurring revenue is comprised of subscription, perpetual support, and SaaS revenue.

(3)Cash flow from operations for Q1'23 includes $0.6 million of restructuring payments and $4.3 million of acquisition and transaction-related payments. Cash flow from operations for Q1'22 includes $10.5 million of restructuring payments.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations

Approximately 50% 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’23 and FY’22 by the exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2022. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates were a headwind to reported results in Q1'23, compared to Q1'22, but were a tailwind for Q1'23 compared to the exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2022.

If reported results for Q1’23 were converted into U.S. dollars based on September 30, 2022 exchange rates, ARR would have been lower by $60 million, revenue would have been lower by $5 million and expenses would have been lower by $2 million. If reported results for Q1’22 were converted into U.S. dollars based on September 30, 2022 exchange rates, ARR would have been lower by $107 million, revenue would have been lower by $35 million and expenses would have been lower by $18 million.

28

Revenue

Under ASC 606, the volume, mix, and duration of contract types (support, SaaS, on-premises subscription) starting or renewing in any given period may 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 up front 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. We continue to convert existing support contracts to on-premises subscriptions, resulting in a shift to up-front recognition of on-premises subscription license revenue in the period converted compared to ratable recognition for a perpetual support contract. 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 customers migrate 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 comparisons can vary significantly.

Revenue by Line of Business

(Dollar amounts in millions)	Three months ended				Percent Change
	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		Actual			Constant Currency
License	$	172.7	$	169.1		2	%		9	%
Support and cloud services		257.7		244.5		5	%		13	%
Software revenue		430.4		413.6		4	%		11	%
Professional services		35.6		44.1		(19	)%		(13	)%
Total revenue	$	465.9	$	457.7		2	%		9	%

Software revenue growth in Q1’23 was negatively impacted by the value of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. Dollar. Constant currency revenue growth was driven by our Windchill, IIoT, and Arena products.

Professional services revenue decreased in Q1’23 from Q1’22 as we continue to execute on our strategy of leveraging partners to deliver services rather than contracting to deliver services ourselves, including the Q3'22 sale of a portion of our PLM services business to ITC Infotech. Foreign currency exchange rates also represented a headwind to revenue in Q1'23 compared to Q1'22, as a majority of our professional services are in Europe and Asia.

Our expectation is that professional services revenue will continue to trend down over time as we execute on our partner strategy and deliver products that require less consulting and training services.

PLM software revenue growth in Q1’23 was negatively impacted by the value of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. Dollar. Constant currency revenue growth was driven by our Windchill, IIoT, and Arena products. Additionally, Q1’23 revenue benefited from the contribution from our Codebeamer business, which we acquired in Q3’22.

ARR for the PLM product group grew 16% (20% constant currency) from Q1’22 to Q1’23, driven by Windchill.

CAD software revenue in Q1’23 was negatively impacted by the value of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. Dollar. Constant currency revenue growth was driven by Creo.

ARR for the CAD product group grew 5% (10% constant currency) from Q1’22 to Q1’23, driven by Creo.

Software Revenue by Geographic Region

A significant portion of our software revenue is generated outside the U.S. In the first three months of FY'23 and FY'22 approximately 50% of software revenue was generated in the Americas, 35% in Europe, and 15% in Asia Pacific.

(Dollar amounts in millions)	Three months ended				Percent Change

Americas ARR was up 16% actual and constant currency, driven by Windchill and Creo.

Europe software revenue growth in Q1'23 was negatively impacted by the value of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. Dollar. On a constant currency basis, year-over-year revenue growth was driven by the Windchill product group and contribution from the Codebeamer business (which we acquired in Q3’22).

Europe ARR was up 9% (15% constant currency), driven by Windchill, Codebeamer and Creo.

Asia Pacific software revenue in Q1’23 was negatively impacted by the value of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. Dollar. On a constant currency basis, year-over-year revenue growth was driven by Creo, offset by a decline in Windchill and IIoT revenue. For both Windchill and IIoT, the average duration of on-premises subscriptions starting in the period decreased from Q1'22 to Q1'23, resulting in a reduction of on-premises subscription revenue recognized in Q1’23.

Asia Pacific ARR was up 2% (12% constant currency), driven by Creo and Windchill.

(1) Non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to GAAP results under Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

License gross margin increased in Q1’23 compared to Q1’22 due to a $3.6 million increase in license revenue, partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in cost of license revenue, which was driven by higher royalty expenses.

Support and cloud services gross margin increased in Q1’23 compared to Q1’22 due to increases in support and cloud services revenue of $13.2 million, partially offset by increases in cost of support and cloud services of $4.3 million, which were driven by higher hosting, travel and maintenance costs.

Professional services gross margin decreased in Q1’23 compared to Q1’22, primarily due to decrease in professional services revenue of $8.6 million, partially offset by decrease in professional services costs of $6.6 million.

Headcount increased 2% in Q1'23 compared to Q1'22, primarily driven by our acquisition of the Codebeamer business.

Operating expenses in Q1'23 compared to operating expenses in Q1'22 decreased primarily due to the following:

•a $34 million decrease in restructuring charges primarily related to the restructuring plan initiated in Q1’22;

•a $5 million decrease in compensation expense (including benefit costs) largely driven by foreign currency; and

•a $3 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

partially offset by:

•a $5 million increase in acquisition and transaction-related costs;

•a $3 million increase in travel expenses; and

•a $2 million increase in software subscriptions.

Interest Expense

(Dollar amounts in millions)	Three months ended
	December 31, 2022			December 31, 2021			Percent Change
Interest and debt premium expense	$	(16.4	)	$	(13.0	)		26	%

Interest expense includes interest on our credit facility and senior notes. We had $1.4 billion of total debt at the end of Q1'23, compared to $1.5 billion at the end of Q1'22. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was 4.2% for Q1'23, compared to 3.2% for Q1'22.

We expect that interest expense will increase over the remainder of the year, driven by incremental debt incurred in connection with the ServiceMax acquisition in Q2'23 and increasing interest rates under our variable-rate revolving credit facility.

Other income (expense), net		(3.1	)		5.7		(154	)%
Other income (expense), net	$	(2.1	)	$	6.2		(134	)%

Interest income represents earnings on the investment of our available cash and marketable securities.

The $8.3 million decrease in Other income (expense), net, for Q1'23 compared to Q1'22 was driven by a $9.8 million unrealized gain related to an equity investment in a publicly-traded company recorded in Q1’22.

Income Taxes

(Dollar amounts in millions)	Three months ended
	December 31, 2022			December 31, 2021			Percent Change

Provision for income taxes	$	11.4		$	9.3			23	%
Effective income tax rate		13	%		17	%

In Q1’23 and Q1’22, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% due to U.S. tax reform, our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate and the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation. A significant amount of our foreign earnings is generated by our subsidiaries organized in Ireland and the Cayman Islands. In Q1’23 and Q1’22, the foreign rate differential predominantly relates to these earnings.

In Q1’23 and Q1’22, in addition to the foreign rate differential, the effective tax rate was impacted by the net effects of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) and Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) regimes and the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial information included in Item 1 reflects no material changes in 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In accordance with recently issued accounting pronouncements, we will be required to comply with certain changes in accounting rules and regulations. Refer to Note 1. Basis of Presentation to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for all recently issued accounting pronouncements.

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. At December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $388 million, compared to $272 million at September 30, 2022.

A significant portion of our cash is generated and held outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $125 million in the U.S., $95 million in Europe, $142 million in Asia Pacific (including India) and $26 million in other non-U.S. countries. We have substantial cash requirements in the U.S., but we believe that the combination of our existing U.S. cash and cash equivalents, our ability to repatriate cash to the U.S., future U.S. operating cash flows and cash available under our credit facility 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 was $181 million in Q1'23, compared to $138 million in Q1'22. The increase in cash from operations in Q1'23 compared to Q1'22 was primarily driven by an increase in collections as our ARR (which generates customer billings) has grown year-over-year and lower salary-related payments. Cash from operations for Q1'23 included $0.6 million of restructuring payments, compared to $10.5 million of restructuring payments in Q1'22. In Q1'23 cash from operations also included $4.3 million of acquisition-related payments.

Cash used in financing activities in Q1'22 include the repurchase of common stock of $120 million and payments of withholding taxes related to stock-based awards of $49 million.

Undrawn under credit facility revolver	$	641.0
Undrawn under credit facility revolver available to borrow	$	625.3

As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of our then existing credit facility and the note indentures.

At the beginning of Q2'23, we entered into a new credit agreement which consisted of a $500 million term loan and a $1.25 billion credit facility revolver, which replaced our previous $1.0 billion credit facility revolver. Refer to Note 15. Subsequent Events and Note 12. Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion of our credit agreements.

Future Expectations

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations and amounts available under the credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements (which we expect to be approximately $20 million in FY’23) through at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term capital requirements.

On January 3, 2023, in conjunction with the ServiceMax acquisition, we terminated and repaid our prior credit facility and borrowed $630 million under the revolving credit line of the new credit facility and $500 million under a new term loan portion of the new credit facility. By the end of Q2’23, we anticipate reducing the amounts owed under the new credit facility revolver to approximately $450 million. During the remainder of FY'23 and FY'24, we expect to use a substantial portion of our cash generated from operating activities to repay debt outstanding under our new credit facility revolver, and expect that we will not repurchase shares in those periods as we seek to reduce our debt.

Our expected uses and sources of cash could change, our cash position could be reduced, and we could incur additional debt obligations if we decide to retire 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.

35

Operating Measure

ARR

We provide an ARR (Annual Run Rate) operating measure to help investors understand and assess the performance of our business as a SaaS and on-premises subscription company. ARR represents the annualized value of our portfolio of active subscription software, cloud, SaaS and support contracts as of the end of the reporting period.

We believe ARR is a valuable operating metric to measure the health of a subscription business because it captures expected subscription and support cash generation from customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we use them and the reasons we 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, 2022.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in the discussion of our results of operations and the respective most directly comparable GAAP measures are:

•free cash flow—cash flow from operations

•non-GAAP gross margin—GAAP gross margin

•non-GAAP operating income—GAAP operating income

•non-GAAP operating margin—GAAP operating margin

•non-GAAP net income—GAAP net income

•non-GAAP diluted earnings or loss per share—GAAP diluted earnings or loss per share

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 approximately 50% of our free cash flow to shareholders via stock repurchases. Free cash flow is cash flow from operations net of capital expenditures, which are expenditures for property and equipment and consist primarily of facility improvements, office equipment, computer equipment, and software.

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; restructuring and other charges, net; non-operating charges (credits), including those associated with the sale of a portion of our PLM services business and gains or losses on equity investments; and income tax adjustments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

We use these non-GAAP financial 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 financial 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 financial measures also affords investors a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to the results of other companies in our industry that use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

36

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 such 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.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period ended December 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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 (U.S. 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2022. 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 at the dates and for the periods indicated. The September 30, 2022 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

Reference Rate Reform

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The ASU provides an update to the previously issued ASU 2020-04 to defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. In conjunction with our new credit agreement in January 2023, we have transitioned off of rates subject to reference rate reform without a material impact from such transition.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

(in thousands)	December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022
Contract asset	$	21,295	$	21,096
Deferred revenue	$	516,033	$	520,333

As of December 31, 2022, $16.7 million of our contract assets are expected to be transferred to receivables within the next 12 months and therefore are included in Other current assets. The remainder is included in Other long-term assets and expected to be transferred within the next 24 months. Approximately $6.0 million of the September 30, 2022 contract asset balance was transferred to receivables during the three months ended December 31, 2022 as a result of the right to payment becoming unconditional. Additions to contract assets of approximately $6.2 million related to revenue recognized in the period, net of billings. The majority of the contract asset balance relates to two large professional services contracts with invoicing terms based on performance milestones. There were no impairments of contract assets during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized $219.7 million of revenue that was included in Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022 and there were additional deferrals of $215.4 million, primarily related to new billings. For subscription contracts, we generally invoice customers annually. The balance of total short- and long-term receivables as of December 31, 2022 was $801.3 million, compared to total short- and long-term receivables as of September 30, 2022 of $871.0 million.

Our multi-year, non-cancellable on-premises subscription contracts provide customers with an annual right to exchange software within the subscription with other software. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, our total revenue liability was $34.6 million and $34.2 million, respectively, primarily associated with the annual right to exchange on-premises subscription software.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable, historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic conditions, and accounts receivable aging trends. Our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable was $0.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. Uncollectible trade accounts receivable written-off, net of recoveries and net bad debt expense were immaterial for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefit of those costs is expected to be longer than one year. These deferred costs primarily related to commissions. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, deferred costs of $41.3 million and $40.7 million, respectively, are included in Other current assets and $77.6 million and $77.0 million, respectively, are included in Other assets (non-current). Amortization expense related to costs to obtain a contract with a customer was $12.0 million and $11.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There were no impairments of the contract cost asset in the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers include transaction price amounts allocated to performance obligations that will be satisfied and recognized as revenue at a later date. As of December 31, 2022, the transaction price amounts include performance obligations of $516.0 million recorded in Deferred revenue and $1,205.9 million that are not yet recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to recognize approximately 59% of the total $1,721.9 million over the next 12 months, with the remaining amount thereafter.

The following table presents the number of RSU awards granted by award type:

(in thousands)	Three months ended December 31, 2022
Performance-based RSUs(1)		69
Service-based RSUs(2)		580
Relative Total Shareholder Return RSUs(3)		69

(1)The performance-based RSUs are primarily made up of RSUs granted to our executives and are eligible to vest based upon annual performance measures over a three-year period. To the extent earned, those performance-based RSUs will vest in three substantially equal installments on November 15, 2023, November 15, 2024, and November 15, 2025, or the date the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been achieved for each performance period. Up to a maximum of two times the number of RSUs can be earned (up to a maximum aggregate of 139 thousand RSUs).

(2)The service-based RSUs were granted to employees, including our executive officers. Substantially all service-based RSUs will vest in three substantially equal annual installments on or about the anniversary of the date of grant.

(3)The rTSR RSUs were granted to our executives and are eligible to vest based on the performance of PTC stock relative to the stock performance of an index of PTC peer companies established as of the grant date, as determined at the end of the measurement period ending on September 30, 2025. The RSUs earned will vest on November 15, 2025. Up to a maximum of two times the number of rTSR RSUs eligible to be earned for the period (up to a maximum aggregate of 139 thousand RSUs) may vest. If the PTC stock price as of September 30, 2022 is higher than the PTC stock price as of September 30, 2025, but still meets or exceeds the peer group indexed return, a maximum of 100% of the rTSR RSUs may vest.

The weighted-average fair value of the rTSR RSUs was $179.60 per target RSU on the grant date. The fair value of the rTSR RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The significant assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows:

Average volatility of peer group	41.54	%
Risk free interest rate	4.12	%
Dividend yield	—	%

Acquisitions and Disposition of Business

6. Acquisitions and Disposition of Business

Acquisition and transaction-related costs in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $5.8 million, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. These costs are classified in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquisition and transaction-related costs include direct costs of potential and completed acquisitions and dispositions (e.g., investment banker fees and professional fees, including diligence, legal and valuation services), expenses related to acquisition integration activities (e.g., professional fees and severance), and third-party costs related to structuring transactions.

Our results of operations include the results of acquired or sold businesses beginning on their respective acquisition or sale date. Our results of operations for the reported periods if presented on a pro forma basis would not differ materially from our reported results.

Refer to Note 15. Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the acquisition of ServiceMax Inc. in January 2023.

Intland Software

On April 29, 2022, we acquired Intland Software, GmbH, and Eger Invest GmbH (together, “Intland Software”) pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement. Intland Software developed and marketed the Codebeamer™ Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) family of software products. The purchase price of the acquisition was $278.1 million, net of cash acquired, which was financed with cash on hand and $264 million borrowed under our existing credit facility. Intland Software had approximately 150 employees on the close date.

The acquisition of Intland Software has been accounted for as a business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using a discounted cash flow model which requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future revenues and costs. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

The purchase price allocation resulted in $240.9 million of goodwill, $38.8 million of customer relationships, $19.1 million of purchased software, $1.3 million of trademarks, $20.1 million of deferred tax liabilities, $0.7 million of income tax payables, $6.9 million of deferred revenue, $6.5 million of accounts receivable, and $0.8 million of other net liabilities.

The acquired customer relationships, purchased software, and trademarks are being amortized over useful lives of 11 years, 10 years, and 10 years, respectively, based on the expected economic benefit pattern of the assets. The acquired goodwill was allocated to our software products segment and will not be deductible for income tax purposes. The resulting amount of goodwill reflects the expected value that will be created by expanding our ALM offerings, which are complementary to our PLM offerings.

PLM Services Business Disposition

On June 1, 2022, we sold a portion of our PLM services business to ITC Infotech India Limited ("ITC Infotech") pursuant to the Strategic Partner Agreement dated as of April 20, 2022 by and among PTC and ITC Infotech India Limited. Consideration received from ITC Infotech for the sale was approximately $60.4 million, consisting of $32.5 million cash paid on closing and $28.0 million of services to be provided by ITC Infotech to PTC for no additional charge.

We recognized a gain on the sale of $29.8 million in Q3'22, which consisted of $60.4 million of consideration received, less net assets of the business of $30.6 million. Net assets included $33.0 million of goodwill allocated to the business, less $2.4 million of liabilities associated with approximately 160 employees who transferred to ITC Infotech. Goodwill was allocated to the sold business based on a relative fair value allocation of total goodwill of the Professional Services segment.

Additional future contingent consideration of up to $20 million may be received within 2 years of the disposition based on certain performance milestones. We have elected to defer the recognition of gains associated with contingent consideration until they become realizable.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Software Products and (2) Professional Services. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are determined based on the components of our operating segments that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management. Our reporting units are the same as our operating segments.

As of December 31, 2022, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our Software Products segment was $2,751.2 million and attributable to our Professional Services segment was $11.2 million. As of September 30, 2022, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our Software Products segment was $2,725.2 million and attributable to our Professional Services segment was $11.2 million. Acquired intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting segment below its carrying value. If a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of goodwill and its estimated fair value. Factors we consider important, on an overall company basis and segment basis, when applicable, that could trigger an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period and a reduction of our market capitalization relative to net book value.

We completed our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 30, 2022, which consisted of a qualitative assessment of our Software Products segment and a quantitative assessment of our Professional Services segment. Our qualitative assessment for Software Products included company-specific (e.g., financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, as well as consideration of the fair value of each reporting unit relative to its carrying value at the last valuation date (June 27, 2020). Our quantitative assessment for the Professional Services segment compared the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. We estimated the fair value of the Professional Services reporting unit using a discounted cash flow valuation model. Based on our qualitative assessment for the Software Products segment and quantitative assessment for the Professional Services segment as of June 30, 2022, no impairment was required. Through December 31, 2022, there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangible assets may not be recoverable.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. GAAP prescribes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

•Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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 usually are 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.

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were as follows:

Non-Designated Hedges

We hedge our net foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities primarily resulting from foreign currency denominated receivables and payables with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts have maturities of up to approximately three months. Generally, we do not designate these foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into forward contracts only as an economic hedge, any gain or loss on the underlying foreign-denominated balance would be offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in Other income (expense), net.

We hedge our forecasted U.S. Dollar cash flows with foreign exchange options to reduce the risk that they will be adversely affected by changes in Euro or Japanese Yen exchange rates. These contracts have maturities of up to approximately nine months. We do not designate these foreign currency options as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into options as an economic hedge, currency impacts on the Euro or Japanese Yen-denominated operations as compared to the forecasted plan rate may be partially offset by the gain on the put option. Gain on put options are included in Other income (expense), net.

As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had outstanding forward contracts and options with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

In the three months ended December 31, 2022, foreign currency losses, net were $3.2 million. In the three months ended December 31, 2021, foreign currency losses, net were $4.4 million.

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 three months.

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 and subsequently reclassify them to foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss at the time of forward contract maturity. 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, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had outstanding forward contracts designated as net investment hedges with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

As of December 31, 2022, we estimate that all amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be applied against exposed balance sheet accounts upon translation within the next three months.

Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities

We have entered into master netting arrangements for our forward contracts that allow net settlements under certain conditions. Although netting is permitted, it is currently our policy and practice to record all derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Segment and Geographic Information

10. Segment and Geographic Information

We operate within a single industry segment – computer software and related services. Operating segments as defined under GAAP are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Software Products, which includes license, subscription and related support revenue (including updates and technical support) for all our products; and (2) Professional Services, which includes consulting, implementation and training services. We do not allocate sales and marketing or general and administrative expense to our operating segments as these activities are managed on a consolidated basis. Additionally, segment profit does not include stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and certain other identified costs that we do not allocate to the segments for purposes of evaluating their operational performance.

The revenue and profit attributable to our operating segments are summarized below. We do not produce asset information by reportable segment; therefore, it is not reported.

Income Taxes

11. Income Taxes

(in thousands)	Three months ended
	December 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Income before income taxes	$	86,424		$	55,376
Provision for income taxes	$	11,389		$	9,287
Effective income tax rate		13	%		17	%

In the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% due to our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. A significant amount of our foreign earnings is generated by our subsidiaries organized in Ireland and the Cayman Islands. In 2023 and 2022, the foreign rate differential predominantly relates to these earnings.

In 2023 and 2022, in addition to the foreign rate differential, the effective tax rate was impacted by the net effects of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) and Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) regimes and the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.

We reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period. We assess available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use our existing deferred tax assets. In the assessment for the period ended December 31, 2022, we maintain our conclusion that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal and state income will be realizable.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service 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, limitations on net operating losses and tax credits.

As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $25.5 million and $23.9 million, respectively. If all our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 were to become recognizable in the future, we would record a benefit to the income tax provision of $25.5 million, which would be partially offset by an increase in the U.S. valuation allowance of $5.3 million.

Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in favorable or unfavorable changes in our estimates. We believe it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to the resolution of multi-jurisdictional tax positions could be reduced by up to $5 million.

(1) Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the credit facility were $3.2 million and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) Unamortized debt issuance costs are included in Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In February 2020, we issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.0% senior, unsecured long-term debt at par value, due in 2028 (the 2028 notes) and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior, unsecured long-term debt at par value, due in 2025 (the 2025 notes).

As of December 31, 2022, the total estimated fair value of the 2028 and 2025 notes was approximately $455.2 million and $476.9 million, respectively, based on quoted prices for the notes on that date.

We were in compliance with all the covenants for all of our senior notes as of December 31, 2022. Any failure to comply with such covenants could constitute a default that could cause all amounts outstanding to become due and payable immediately.

Terms of the 2028 and 2025 Notes

Interest on the 2028 and 2025 notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15. The debt indenture for the 2028 and 2025 notes includes covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, grant liens on our properties or capital stock, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or asset sales, and make capital distributions.

We may, on one or more occasions, redeem the 2028 and 2025 notes in whole or in part at specified redemption prices. In certain circumstances constituting a change of control, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Our ability to repurchase the notes upon such event may be limited by law, by the indenture associated with the notes, by our then-available financial resources or by the terms of other agreements to which we may be party at such time. If we fail to repurchase the notes as required by the indenture, it would constitute an event of default under the indenture which, in turn, may also constitute an event of default under other obligations.

Credit Agreement

We were party to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, from February 2020 through January 3, 2023 (the "Prior Credit Facility"). We used the Prior Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of businesses, share repurchases and working capital requirements.

On January 3, 2023, subsequent to the end of Q1’23, we terminated the Prior Credit Facility and repaid all amounts outstanding and entered into a new credit agreement for the purpose of funding the payment of the closing purchase price of ServiceMax. Refer to Note 15. Subsequent Events for additional discussion regarding the new credit agreement and acquisition of ServiceMax.

The Prior Credit Facility, in effect as of December 31, 2022, consisted of a $1 billion revolving credit facility, which could have been increased by up to an additional $500 million in the aggregate if the existing or additional lenders were willing to make such increased commitments. The revolving loan commitment did not require amortization of principal and could have been repaid in whole or in part prior to the scheduled maturity date at our option without penalty or premium. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of our credit facility approximated its book value.

Loans under the Prior Credit Facility bore interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days depending on the rate and period selected by PTC as described below. As of December 31, 2022, the annual rate for borrowings outstanding was 5.7%.

Under the Prior Credit Facility PTC and its subsidiaries were required to maintain the following financial ratios:

•Total leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, not to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter;

•Senior secured leverage ratio, defined as senior consolidated total indebtedness (which excludes unsecured indebtedness) to the consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; and

•Interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA to consolidated trailing four quarters of cash basis interest expense, of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.

As of December 31, 2022, our total leverage ratio was 1.79 to 1.00, our senior secured leverage ratio was 0.49 to 1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was 14.05 to 1.00 and we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the Prior Credit Facility.

In the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, we paid $4.8 million and $2.4 million of interest on our debt, respectively. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding during the first quarters of 2023 and 2022 was approximately 4.2% and 3.2%, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

14. Commitments and Contingencies

As December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of $15.1 million (of which $0.5 million was collateralized) and $15.3 million (of which $0.5 million was collateralized), respectively, primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

Legal Proceedings

With respect to legal proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

401(k) Plan

On September 17, 2020, three individual plaintiffs filed a putative class action lawsuit against PTC, the Investment Committee for the PTC Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), and the PTC Board of Directors (collectively, the “PTC Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 in the oversight of the Plan. On September 22, 2021, the plaintiffs and the PTC Defendants reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit for a gross settlement amount of $1.725 million. The Court issued an Order of final approval of the settlement on October 18, 2022. PTC's insurer fully funded the Qualified Settlement Fund, per the terms of the approved Settlement Agreement, in November 2022.

Other Legal Proceedings

In addition to the matter listed above, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims against us in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2022, we estimate that the range of possible outcomes for such matters is immaterial and we do not believe that resolving them will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any of these legal proceedings and claims be resolved against us, the operating results for a reporting period could be adversely affected.

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. Except for intellectual property infringement indemnification, these agreements typically limit our liability with respect to other indemnification 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/subscription. 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.

The remaining purchase payment installment of $650 million is payable on October 2, 2023, without interest and not subject to contingencies. The terms of the Share Price Agreement are described in the Form 8-K filed by PTC on November 17, 2022.

Entry into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; Termination of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On January 3, 2023, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among PTC, PTC (IFSC) Limited, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility consists of a $1,250 million revolving credit facility and $500 million new term loan. The terms of the New Credit Facility are described in the Form 8-K filed by PTC on January 3, 2023.

In connection with entry into the New Credit Facility, PTC terminated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 13, 2020 by and among PTC, PTC (IFSC) Limited, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto. Approximately $359 million was outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility at the time of termination, which amount was repaid with a borrowing of the same amount under the New Credit Facility upon closing of New Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On January 3, 2023, PTC borrowed $630 million under the revolving line of the New Credit Facility and $500 million under the new term loan of the New Credit Facility to repay amounts under the Prior Credit Facility and to pay the closing purchase price for, and transaction expenses related to, the acquisition of ServiceMax, Inc., including the repayment of certain indebtedness of ServiceMax or its subsidiaries, bringing our total outstanding indebtedness to approximately $2,130 million.
