PTC Inc. furnished a Form 8-K on July 31, 2024 reporting results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2024 via Exhibit 99.1, a press release.

Q3'24 ARR was $2,126 milliona, up 10% from $1,929 million a year earlier, and constant currency ARR was $2,125 million, up 12% from $1,904 million. Operating cash flow was $214 million (up 26% from $169 million) and free cash flow was $212 million (up 29% from $164 million). Revenue declined 4% year over year to $519 million from $542 million, and the company stated that revenue declined 3% on a constant currency basis.

GAAP EPS was $0.57b and non-GAAP EPS was $0.98, compared with $0.51 and $0.99 a year earlier. Q3'24 GAAP and non-GAAP EPS each included a non-cash tax benefit of $0.12 and $0.08 respectively, tied to IRS procedural guidance issued in May 2024. For fiscal 2024, PTC updated its constant currency ARR guidance to $2,200 million to $2,220 million, or 11% to 12% growth, from the previous $2,200 million to $2,240 million, and maintained its free cash flow guidance of approximately $725 million.

The company expects to prioritize debt paydown in FY'24 and anticipates gross debt of approximately $1.7 billionc at fiscal year-end. Gross debt was $1,816 million at June 30, 2024, down from $2,365 million a year earlier, which included a $620 million ServiceMax deferred acquisition payment paid in October 2023. Cash and cash equivalents were $248 million at quarter end.

CEO Neil Barua said the company delivered solid ARR and cash flow in a challenging selling environment, and CFO Kristian Talvitie said Q3 free cash flow was slightly below guidance due to timing. PTC's long-term goal is to return approximately 50%d of free cash flow to shareholders via share repurchases while keeping Debt/EBITDA below 3x.
