PTC Provides Preliminary Q1 FY’09 Results
PTC provided preliminary financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended January 3, 2009.
Highlights
* Q1 non-GAAP Results: Revenue of $240 million with EPS of $0.14 to $0.16
* Q1 GAAP Results: Revenue of $240 million with EPS of $0.03 to $0.05
The preliminary Q1 non-GAAP results exclude approximately $10.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, $8.5 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expenses and $6.2 million of related income tax effects.
C. Richard Harrison, president and chief executive officer, commented, “The global economic situation has impacted our financial results for Q1. Revenue for Q1’09 of $240 million is essentially flat with Q1’08. On an organic constant currency basis, our Q1’09 revenue is down approximately $6 million, or 3%, compared to Q1’08. Our maintenance and services businesses continued to perform well in this environment, with the shortfall in Q1 revenue relative to our guidance of $250 to $260 million due to reduced license sales in all of our major geographies.”
The preliminary Q1 results include a non-GAAP tax provision rate of 22%, a GAAP tax benefit rate of 59% and approximately 117 million diluted shares outstanding.
PTC expects to announce final Q1 results on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 after the market closes and to host a conference call / webcast before the market opens on Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Details below.

Important Information About Non-GAAP References
PTC provides non-GAAP supplemental information to its financial results. Non-GAAP operating margin and EPS exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the related tax effects of the preceding items and any one-time tax items, such as valuation allowance reversals. PTC provides this non-GAAP information to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its operational performance by adjusting for certain non-cash and certain episodic expenses. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to peer companies. PTC management also uses this and other non-GAAP financial information to evaluate, manage and plan our business because the information provides additional insight into ongoing financial performance. In addition, compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. However, non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on PTC’s financial results. Therefore, management uses, and investors should use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our reported GAAP results.
