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, 2023. 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 as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The September 30, 2023 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

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU will be effective for us in 2026. We expect the adoption to result in disclosure changes only.

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU will be effective for us in 2025. We expect the adoption to result in disclosure changes only.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $289.4 million of revenue that was included in Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2023. The remainder of the change was driven by additional deferrals, primarily from new billings.

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, 2023

Table of Contents

and September 30, 2023, our total revenue liability was $25.5 million and $23.7 million, respectively, primarily associated with the annual right to exchange on-premises subscription software.

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, 2023, the transaction price amounts include performance obligations of $665.5 million recorded in Deferred revenue and $1,499.7 million that are not yet recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to recognize approximately 60% of the total $2,165.2 million over the next 12 months, with the remaining amount thereafter.

5. Acquisitions

Acquisition and transaction-related costs in the three months ended December 31, 2023 totaled $2.5 million, compared to $5.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022. These costs are classified in General and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

pure-systems

On October 4, 2023, we acquired pure-systems GmbH pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement. Pure-systems is a leading provider of product and software variant management solutions used by manufacturing companies to efficiently manage the different versions of software and systems engineering assets. The purchase price was $93.5 million, net of cash acquired, which was financed primarily with a draw on the revolving line of our credit facility. Pure-systems had approximately 50 employees on the close date.

The acquisition of pure-systems has been accounted for as a business combination. Assets 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 is considered preliminary, pending finalization of the valuation of intangible assets. Additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period to Goodwill, intangible assets, and net tax liabilities.

The following table outlines the preliminary purchase price allocation for pure-systems:


(in thousands)
Goodwill	$	77,118
Customer relationships		17,400
Purchased software		10,000
Trademarks		800
Net tax liability		(8,860	)
Acquired debt		(2,475	)
Other net liabilities		(526	)
Total	$	93,457

The acquired customer relationships, purchased software, and trademarks are being amortized over useful lives of 18 years, 10 years, and 10 years, respectively, based on the expected economic benefit pattern of the assets. The acquired goodwill will not be deductible for income tax purposes. The amount

of goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation reflects the expected value that will be created by expanding our ALM offerings, which are included within our PLM product group.

Our results of operations for the reported periods if presented on a pro forma basis would not differ materially from our reported results.

ServiceMax

On January 3, 2023, we acquired ServiceMax, Inc. pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated November 17, 2022 for $1,448.2 million, net of cash acquired. PTC paid the first installment of $828.2 million on the acquisition date. The remaining installment of $650.0 million, of which $620.0 million represents the fair value as of the acquisition date and $30.0 million is imputed interest, was paid in October 2023. The fair value of the deferred acquisition payment was calculated based on our borrowing rate at the time of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation resulted in $974.9 million of Goodwill, $628.6 million of intangible assets, $121.7 million of net tax liabilities, and $33.6 million of other net liabilities.

ServiceMax develops and licenses cloud-native, product-centric field service management (FSM) software, which is included within our PLM product group. ServiceMax had approximately 500 employees on the close date.

7. Fair Value Measurements

The valuation hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities reported at fair value prioritizes the inputs for such valuations into three broad levels:

•

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

•

Level 2: quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; or

•

Level 3: unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

A financial asset's or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Money market funds, 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, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts 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

As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, current derivative liabilities are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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, gains or losses on the underlying foreign-denominated balance are generally offset by the losses or gains on the forward contract. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in Other income (expense), net.

As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, we had outstanding forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments with notional amounts equivalent to the following:


Currency Hedged (in thousands)	December 31, 2023		September 30, 2023

In the three months ended December 31, 2023, foreign currency gains, net were $1.0 million. In the three months ended December 31, 2022, foreign currency losses, net were $3.2 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, 2023 and September 30, 2023, we had outstanding forward contracts designated as net investment hedges with notional amounts equivalent to the following:


Currency Hedged (in thousands)	December 31, 2023		September 30, 2023
Euro / U.S. Dollar	$	373,527	$	337,923

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, 2023:


(in thousands)	Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets						Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets
As of December 31, 2023	Gross Amount of Recognized Assets		Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Net Amounts of Assets Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Financial Instruments			Cash Collateral Received		Net Amount

Provision for income taxes	$	19,212		$	11,389
Effective income tax rate		22	%		13	%

The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the effective tax rate for the corresponding prior-year period primarily due to a non-cash tax expense of $3.6 million related to a tax reserve in a foreign jurisdiction as well as a decrease in the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.

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, transfer pricing, limitations on net operating losses and tax credits.

Total debt, net of issuance costs(4)	$	2,260,855		$	1,695,785

(1)

Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the credit facility were $2.3 million included in Other current assets and $7.0 million included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 and $2.3 million included in Other current assets and $7.5 million included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023.

(2)

The stated maturity date under the credit facility on which both the revolver line and the term loan will mature and all amounts then outstanding will become due and payable is January 3, 2028. However, if our outstanding 2025 Senior Notes have not been refinanced to mature on or after April 3, 2028 or redeemed by November 16, 2024, all amounts outstanding under the credit facility will become due and payable on November 16, 2024. The term loan will begin amortizing in March 2024, with payments of $9.4 million in 2024, $21.9 million in 2025, and $25.0 million in 2026 and 2027, and $418.7 million in 2028.

(3)

Unamortized debt issuance costs for the senior notes are included in Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(4)

As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, $12.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively, of debt associated with the credit facility term loan was classified as short term with the remaining balance classified as long term.

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, 2023, the total estimated fair value of the 2028 and 2025 notes was approximately $478.8 million and $491.4 million, respectively, based on quoted prices for the notes on that date.

We were in compliance with all the covenants for all our senior notes as of December 31, 2023.

Credit Agreement

Our credit facility consists of (i) a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility, (ii) a $500 million term loan credit facility, and (iii) an incremental facility pursuant to which we may incur additional term loan tranches or increase the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2023, unused commitments under our credit facility were $483 million and amounts available for borrowing were $470 million.

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of our credit facility approximates its book value.

PTC and certain eligible foreign subsidiaries are eligible borrowers under the credit facility. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, $221.5 million was borrowed by an eligible foreign subsidiary borrower.

Loans under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates. As of December 31, 2023, the annual rate for borrowings outstanding was 7.2%. A quarterly revolving commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required, ranging from 0.175% to 0.325% per annum, based upon our total leverage ratio.

As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility.

Interest

In the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred interest expense on our debt of $35.3 million and $16.4 million, respectively. In the three months ended December 31, 2023, we paid $44.8 million of interest on our debt, of which $30.0 million was interest imputed on the $650.0 million ServiceMax deferred acquisition payment that we settled in the period. In the three months ended December 31, 2022, we paid $4.8 million of interest on our debt. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was approximately 5.7% and 4.2% during the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

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. These agreements typically limit our liability with respect to indemnification claims other than intellectual property infringement 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. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this document that are not historic facts, including statements about our future financial and growth expectations and potential stock repurchases, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include: the macroeconomic and/or global manufacturing climates may not improve when or as we expect or may deteriorate due to, among other factors, high interest rates or increases in interest rates and inflation, volatile foreign exchange rates and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar, tightening of credit standards and availability, the effects of the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, and growing tensions with China, any 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, Codebeamer, and SaaS businesses, may not expand and/or generate the ARR and/or cash flow 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 in our ALM business, and the acquisition of ServiceMax, may not deliver the results when or as we expect; we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flow to return 50% of free cash flow to shareholders via share repurchases, 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 changes to tax laws in the U.S. and other countries and the geographic mix of our revenue, expenses, and profits. Other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected are described 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 grew 24% to $2.06 billion as of the end of Q1’24 compared to Q1’23. Organic ARR grew 13% year over year to $1.88 billion. ARR growth was driven by the contribution from the ServiceMax business acquired in Q2'23 and organic growth across all regions and in both the CAD and PLM product groups. In CAD, we delivered 11% ARR growth in Q1’24 (10% in constant currency), with the growth primarily driven by Creo. In PLM, our ARR growth was 34% (33% constant currency), with 19 points of the growth attributable to ServiceMax. Our PLM organic growth in Q1’24 was 15% (14% in constant currency), primarily driven by Windchill and supported by strong percentage growth in ALM due to Codebeamer.

Cash provided by operating activities was $187 million in Q1'24, an increase of $6 million compared to Q1'23. The increase was driven by higher collections (including contributions from ServiceMax) and lower tax payments, partially offset by higher vendor disbursements, interest payments, and salary-related payments. Q1'24 cash from operations includes $45 million of interest payments, compared to $5 million in the prior-year period. Interest payments in Q1'24 included the payment of $30 million imputed interest on the ServiceMax deferred acquisition payment. Free cash flow of $183 million in Q1'24 increased 6% from $172 million in Q1'23.

Revenue growth of 18% (16% constant currency) in Q1'24 compared to Q1'23 was driven by the contribution from ServiceMax as well as organic growth in Creo and Windchill. Interest expense was higher in Q1'24 than in Q1'23 due to higher debt balances and higher interest rates, which adversely affected our net income and earnings per share results.

In October 2023, we made a payment of $650 million to settle the ServiceMax deferred acquisition payment liability, of which $620 million was purchase consideration and $30 million was imputed interest. We financed this payment with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We also borrowed €85 million under the revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of pure-systems in October 2023.

(2)

Recurring revenue is comprised of on-premises subscription, perpetual support, SaaS, and cloud revenue.

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'24 and FY'23 by the exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2023.

Revenue

Under ASC 606, the volume, mix, and duration of contract types (support, SaaS, on-premises subscription) starting or renewing in any given period can 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 can vary significantly.

Revenue by Line of Business


(Dollar amounts in millions)	Three months ended				Percent Change
	December 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		Actual			Constant Currency
License	$	184.0	$	172.7		7	%		5	%
Support and cloud services		330.5		257.7		28	%		26	%
Software revenue		514.5		430.4		20	%		18	%
Professional services		35.7		35.6		1	%		(1	)%
Total revenue	$	550.2	$	465.9		18	%		16	%

Software revenue in Q1'24 benefited from contributions from ServiceMax, which was acquired in early Q2'23, and from organic growth. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates were a slight tailwind to revenue results in the period.

Within software revenue, license revenue growth was driven by growth in Asia, particularly in Creo and Windchill. Support and cloud services revenue growth was driven by the contribution from ServiceMax, as well as growth in Windchill, particularly in the Americas.

Professional services revenue was flat in Q1'24 compared to Q1'23, despite the addition of ServiceMax professional services revenue. Our expectation is that professional services revenue will continue to trend down over time as we execute on our strategy of leveraging partners to deliver services rather than contracting to deliver services ourselves and as we deliver products that require fewer consulting and training services.

Software revenue	$	514.5	$	430.4		20	%		18	%

PLM software revenue growth in Q1'24 benefited from the contribution from ServiceMax. Excluding ServiceMax revenue, constant currency revenue growth was driven by Windchill, particularly in the Americas, and Codebeamer.

PLM ARR grew 34% (33% constant currency) from Q1’23 to Q1'24, driven primarily by ServiceMax, Windchill, and Codebeamer.

CAD software revenue growth was primarily driven by Creo revenue growth in Europe and Asia Pacific. Growth in Europe was driven in part by longer durations of on-premises subscription contracts.

CAD ARR grew 11% (10% constant currency) from Q1’23 to Q1’24, driven primarily by Creo.

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

License gross margin increased in Q1’24 compared to Q1’23 at a slightly higher rate than license revenue due to a decrease in Cost of license revenue, which was driven by lower intangible amortization expense.

Support and cloud services gross margin growth in Q1'24 compared to Q1'23 was in line with support and cloud services revenue growth, with costs growing at a similar rate to revenue. The main drivers of the increase to Cost of support and cloud services revenue were royalty expenses, intangible amortization expense, and compensation costs.

Professional services gross margin, like professional services revenue, was relatively flat in Q1'24 compared to Q1'23.

Total headcount increased 11% between Q1’23 and Q1’24, primarily driven by our acquisition of ServiceMax.

Operating expenses in Q1'24 increased compared to Q1'23, primarily due to the following:

•

a $29 million increase in compensation expense (excluding stock-based compensation expense), mainly driven by our acquisition of ServiceMax and annual merit increases; and

•

a $16 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, driven in part by the acceleration of expense related to the CEO succession (which is included in General and administrative), as well as more grants related mainly to the ServiceMax acquisition.

Interest and debt premium expense	$	(35.3	)	$	(16.4	)		116	%

Interest expense includes interest on our revolving credit facility, term loan, and our senior notes due 2025 and 2028. The increase in interest expense was driven by higher total debt and higher interest rates in Q1’24 compared to Q1’23.

Other income (expense), net	$	2.2	$	(2.1	)		205	%

The increase in Other income (expense), net, was driven by $1.0 million in foreign currency exchange gains in Q1'24 compared to $3.2 million in foreign currency exchange losses in Q1'23 primarily related to our foreign currency forward contracts.

Income Taxes

Effective income tax rate		22	%		13	%

The effective tax rate for Q1'24 was higher than the effective tax rate for Q1'23 primarily due to a non-cash tax expense of $3.6 million related to a tax reserve in a foreign jurisdiction as well as a decrease in the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.

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.

A significant portion of our cash is generated and held outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23.5 million in the U.S., $91.5 million in Europe, $129.1 million in Asia Pacific (including India) and $20.9 million in other countries. We have substantial cash requirements in the U.S. but 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 revolving 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 increased $6.4 million in Q1'24 compared to Q1'23. The increase was driven by higher collections (including contribution from ServiceMax) and lower tax payments, partially offset by higher vendor disbursements, interest payments, and salary-related payments. Q1'24 cash from operations includes $44.8 million of interest payments, compared to $4.8 million in the prior-year period. Interest payments in Q1'24 included the payment of $30 million of imputed interest on the ServiceMax deferred acquisition payment.

Cash Used In Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in Q1’24 was driven by the acquisition of pure-systems for $93.5 million, net of cash acquired.

Cash Used In Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities in Q1’24 includes $620.0 million paid to settle the portion of the ServiceMax deferred acquisition payment related to purchase consideration, partially offset by net borrowings of $558.4 million ($739.8 million borrowed under the revolving line of our existing credit facility, less payments of $181.4 million) to fund the ServiceMax deferred acquisition payment and pure-systems acquisition.

As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility and the note indentures. As of December 31, 2023, the annual rate for borrowings outstanding under the credit facility was 7.2%.

Our credit facility and our senior notes are described in Note 10. Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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 expenditure requirements (which we expect to be approximately $20 million in FY'24) through at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term capital requirements.

For the remainder of FY'24, we expect to use substantially all our cash generated from operating activities to repay debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

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

Operating Measure

ARR

ARR (Annual Run Rate) 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 calculate ARR as follows:

•

We consider a contract to be active when the product or service contractual term commences (the “start date”) until the right to use the product or service ends (the “expiration date”). Even if the contract with the customer is executed before the start date, the contract will not count toward ARR until the customer right to receive the benefit of the products or services has commenced.

•

For contracts that include annual values that increase over time, which we refer to as ramp contracts, we include in ARR only the annualized value of components of the contract that are considered active as of the date of the ARR calculation. We do not include any future committed increases in the contract value as of the date of the ARR calculation.

Table of Contents

•

As ARR includes only contracts that are active at the end of the reporting period, ARR does not reflect assumptions or estimates regarding future customer renewals or non-renewals.

•

Active contracts are annualized by dividing the total active contract value by the contract duration in days (expiration date minus start date), then multiplying that by 365 days (or 366 days for leap years).

We believe ARR is a valuable operating measure to assess the health of a subscription business because it is aligned with the amount that we invoice the customer on an annual basis. We generally invoice customers annually for the current year of the contract. A customer with a one-year contract will typically be invoiced for the total value of the contract at the beginning of the contractual term, while a customer with a multi-year contract will be invoiced for each annual period at the beginning of each year of the contract.

ARR increases by the annualized value of active contracts that commence in a reporting period and decreases by the annualized value of contracts that expire in the reporting period.

As ARR is not annualized recurring revenue, it is not calculated based on recognized or unearned revenue and is not affected by variability in the timing of revenue under ASC 606, particularly for on-premises license subscriptions where a substantial portion of the total value of the contract is recognized as revenue at a point in time upon the later of when the software is made available, or the subscription term commences.

ARR should be viewed independently of recognized and unearned revenue and is not intended to be combined with, or to replace, either of those items. Investors should consider our ARR operating measure only in conjunction with our GAAP financial results.

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, 2023.

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 per share—GAAP diluted earnings per share

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 (credits), net; non-operating charges (credits), net; and income tax adjustments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

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.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

7. Fair Value Measurements

The valuation hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities reported at fair value prioritizes the inputs for such valuations into three broad levels:

•

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

•

Level 3: unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

A financial asset's or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Money market funds, 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.

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:
