Strategic Partners
Building an ecosystem of partners is becoming increasingly important as we expand the capabilities of our core solutions, and IoT offerings and as we expand our addressable markets by leveraging our partner sales and services distribution channels. With this in mind, in 2018, we entered into the three strategic alliances described below.
We partnered with Rockwell Automation to align our respective smart factory technologies to address the market for smart, connected operations, with particular focus on the plant and factory setting. As part of this strategic alliance, we have aligned our ThingWorx® IoT, Kepware® industrial connectivity, and Vuforia® augmented reality (AR) platforms with Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk® MES, FactoryTalk Analytics, and Industrial Automation platforms, and we both offer these solutions in the market. This suite is now launched and marketed as FactoryTalk Innovation Suite Powered by PTC. Rockwell Automation has exclusive rights to resell certain of our solutions to certain customers and geographic regions. In connection with this strategic alliance, Rockwell Automation made a $1 billion equity investment in PTC.
We partnered with Microsoft to make the ThingWorx® Industrial Innovation Platform available on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform as our preferred cloud platform. By partnering with Microsoft, we are able to leverage the two companies’ complementary technologies and together pursue opportunities in industrial sectors. This integration enables us to deliver a combined and connected solution for industrial IoT and digital product lifecycle management that enable companies to bring new products to market faster enhanceto meet rapidly changing market demand. This is particularly relevant for start-up and upstart businesses focused on technology-centered innovations that commonly leverage contract manufacturers for production of their designs.

Accelerate SaaS Transformation

Manufacturers today face a myriad of business challenges. Macroeconomic forces, such as an ever-evolving workforce, supply chain disruptions, the rise of smart, connected products, and the need to prove sustainability, are all driving the need for change. We enable companies to respond to these challenges with technology that leverages the cloud to transform how, where, and when work gets done. Software-as-a-service (SaaS), which has already reshaped nearly all aspects of business, is poised to transform management of the entire product lifecycle. Anticipating this need, PTC acquired the Onshape and Arena cloud-native product development solutions. In parallel, we are heavily investing to transform our technology portfolio to SaaS.

Strategic Transactions

During FY'22, we completed two strategic transactions. In Q3'22, we acquired the CodebeamerTM application lifecycle management business to broaden and deepen our ALM footprint across safety-critical and regulated industries. In Q3'22, we also sold a portion of our PLM services business to ITC Infotech. The transaction is designed to accelerate customer digital transformation initiatives and adoption of our Windchill+ SaaS solution. Refer to Note 6. Acquisitions and Disposition of Business of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for additional discussion regarding these transactions.

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors


The following are important factors we have identified that could affect our future results and youran investment in our securities. You should consider them carefully when evaluating an investment in PTC securities, or any forward-looking statements made by us, including those contained in this Annual Report, because these factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or the performance projected in forward- lookingany forward-looking statements. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Holders of the 6.00% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 6% Notes”) that we issued in May 2016 should also consider the risk factors related to those notes described in the prospectus supplement we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2016, which are incorporated herein by reference.

I.Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Industry

We face significant competition, which may reduce our profitability and limit or reduce our market share.

The markets for our products and solutions are rapidly changing and characterized by intense competition, disruptive technology developments, evolving distribution models and increasingly lower barriers to entry. If we are unable to provide products and solutions that address customers’ needs as well as our competitors’ products and solutions do, or to align our pricing, licensing and delivery models with customer preferences, we could lose customers and/or fail to attract new customers, which could cause us to lose revenue and market share. Competitive

For example, the COVID-19 pandemic caused companies worldwide to close their offices and their employees to have to work remotely from their homes, and there remains uncertainty about the extent to which employees will return to the office in the long term. This has focused companies on the need for solutions that empower and support remote work by employees. We believe customers and potential customers will increasingly seek software solutions that support remote work by employees. Although many of our solutions support remote work, others are less efficient at doing so. We have embarked on an effort to make our solutions available on a SaaS platform; however, this will require significant effort and investment and we cannot be sure that we will be able to make our solutions available as SaaS solutions as quickly as we expect or that customers will adopt them as we expect. If we are unable to compete successfully with competitors offering SaaS solutions, we could lose customers and/or fail to attract new customers, which could cause us to lose revenue and market share, which would adversely affect our business and financial results.

In addition, competitive pressures could also cause us to reduce our prices, which could reduce our revenue and margins.

Our current and potential competitors range from large and well-established companies to emerging start-ups. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have greater name recognition in the markets we serve and greater financial, technical, sales and marketing, and other resources, which could limit our ability to gain customer recognition and confidence in our products and solutions and successfully sell our products and solutions, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

A breach of security in our products or computer systems, or those of our third-party service providers, could compromise the integrity of our products, cause loss of data, harm our reputation, create additional liability and adversely impact our financial results.

We have implemented and continue to implement measures intended to maintain the security and integrity of our products, source code and computerIT systems. The potential consequences offor a security breach or system disruption (particularly through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists) havehas significantly increased in scopeover time as the scope, number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attackscyberattacks and cyber intrusions have increased – particularly cyberattacks and intrusions from arounddesigned to access and exfiltrate information and to disrupt and lock-up access to systems for the world have increased. Despite efforts to create security barriers to such threats, itpurpose of demanding a ransom payment. It is impossible for us to eliminate thisthe risk of a successful cyberattack or intrusion, and, in fact, we deal with security issues on a regular basis and have experienced security incidents from time to time. Accordingly, there is a risk that we might encounter a material eventcyberattack or issueintrusion will be successful and that such an event or issue may occur.

will be material.

In addition, we offer cloud services to our customers and some of our products, including our SaaS products, are hosted by third-party service providers, which expose us to additional risks as those repositories of our customers’ proprietary data may be targeted and a cyberattack or intrusion may be successful and material. Interception of data transmission, misappropriation or modification of data, corruption of data and attacks against our service providers may adversely affect our products or product and service delivery. Malicious code, viruses or vulnerabilities that are undetected by hackers.

our service providers may disrupt our business operations generally and may have a disproportionate effect on those of our products that are developed and delivered in the cloud environment.

While we devote resources to maintaining the security and integrity of our products and systems, as well as performing due diligence of our third-party service providers, security breaches that have not had a material effect on our business or that of our customers have occurred, and we will continue to face cybersecurity threats and exposure. A significant breach of the security and/or integrity of our products or systems, or those of our third-party service providers, whether or intentional or by human error by our employees or others, could disrupt our business operations or those of our customers, could prevent our products from functioning properly, could enable access to sensitive, proprietary or confidential information including that of our customers, or could disruptenable access to our business operationssensitive, proprietary or those of our customers.confidential information. This could require us to incur significant costs of investigation, remediation and further protection,and/or payment of a ransom; harm our reputation,reputation; cause customers to stop buying our products,products; and cause us to face lawsuits and potential liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.



We increasingly rely on third-party providers of cloud infrastructure services to deliver our offerings to users on our platform, and any disruption of or interference with our use of these services could adversely affect our business.

Our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential customers to use and access our cloud services or our website in order to download our software or encrypted access keys for our software within an acceptable amount of time. We use a number of third-party service providers that we do not control for key components of our infrastructure, particularly with respect to development and delivery of our cloud-based products. The use of these service providers gives us greater flexibility in efficiently delivering a more tailored, scalable customer experience, but also exposes us to additional risks and vulnerabilities. Third-party service providers operate their own platforms that we access, and we are, therefore, vulnerable to their service interruptions. We may experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time as a result of problems with our third-party service providers’ infrastructure. Lack of availability of this infrastructure could be due to a number of potential causes including technical failures, natural disasters, fraud or security attacks that we cannot predict or prevent. Such outages could trigger our service level agreements with customers and require us to issue the issuance of credits to our cloud-based product customers, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to renew our agreements with our cloud service providers on commercially reasonable terms, or any of our agreements are prematurely terminated, or we need to add new cloud services providers to increase capacity and uptime, we could experience interruptions, downtime, delays, and additional expenses related to transferring to and providing support for these new platforms. Any of the above circumstances or events may harm our reputation and brand, reduce the availability or usage of our platforms and impair our ability to attract new users, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to hire or retain personnel with the necessary skills to operate and grow our business, which could adversely affect our ability to compete.

Our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales and marketing, technical, financial and administrative personnel to operate and grow our business. Competition for such personnel in our industry is intense, particularly in the Boston, Massachusetts area where our global headquarters is located.

The technical personnel required to develop our products and solutions are in high demand, particularly technical personnel with augmented and virtual reality and analytics expertise as there are comparatively fewer persons with those skills.demand. If we are unable to attract and retain technical personnel with the requisite skills, our product and solution development efforts could be delayed, which could adversely affect our ability to compete and thereby adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

The managerial, sales and marketing, financial and administrative personnel necessary to guide our operations, market and sell our solutions and support our business operations are also in high demand due to the intense competition in our industry.

If we are unable to attract and retain the personnel we need to develop compelling products and solutions, and guide, operate and support our business, we may be unable to successfully compete, in the marketplace, which would adversely affect our revenuesbusiness, financial condition and profitability.

results of operations.

We depend on sales within the discrete manufacturing sector and our business could be adversely affected if manufacturing activity does not grow, or if it contracts, or if manufacturers are adversely affected by other economicmacroeconomic factors.

A large amount of our sales are to customers in the discrete manufacturing sector. The global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) has declined significantly over the past year and remained below the 50% level in September 2019, with a particularly large recent decline in Europe. Although the decline in Manufacturing PMI did not have a significant adverse affect on our business in 2019, if the manufacturing sector does not improve or continuesManufacturers worldwide continue to decline, our customers in this sector may, as they have in the past, reduce or defer purchases of our products and services, which could adversely affect our financial results.

In addition, manufacturers worldwide are facing increasingface uncertainty about the global economic climatemacroeconomic environment due to, among other factors, the geopolitical environmenteffects of earlier and ongoing trade tensionssupply chain disruptions, rising interest rates and tariffs. In addition, withininflation, volatile foreign exchange rates and the technology industrycurrent relative strength of the U.S. Administration’sdollar, the effects of the Russia—Ukraine conflict, including on the supply of energy resources in Europe, and the U.S. Government’s focus on technology transactions with non-U.S. entities and potential expanded prohibitions has created additional uncertainty.entities. In light of these concernschallenges and challenges, including the potential enactment or expansion of laws that restrict our ability to sell our solutions to customers,concerns, customers may delay, reduce, or forego purchases of our solutions, which would adversely affect our business and financial results.

If we fail to successfully manage our transition to a subscription-based licensingSaaS company, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

We completed our transition from offering perpetual licenses for our products to offering only subscription-based licenses worldwide in January 2019 (excluding Kepware). While we expect our subscription base, recurring revenue and cash flow to increase over time as a result of this licensing model transition, our ability to achieve these financial objectives is subject to risks and uncertainties.

Becoming a subscription-based licensingSaaS company requires a considerable additional investment of technical, financial, legal and sales resources, and a scalablein our organization. Whether our transition will be successful and will accomplish our business and financial objectives is subject to uncertainties, including but not limited to: customer demand, attach and renewal rates, channel acceptance,adoption, our ability to further develop and scale infrastructure, our ability to include functionality and usability in such offerings that address customer requirements, and our costs. If we are unable to successfully establish these new offerings and navigate our business transition due to the foregoingthese risks and uncertainties, our business and financial results could be adversely impacted.

Because our sales and operations are globally dispersed, we face additional compliance risks and any compliance riskfailure could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We sell and deliver software and services, and maintain support operations, in a large number ofmany countries whose laws and practices differ from one another and are subject to unexpected changes. Managing these geographically dispersed operations requires significant attention and resources to



ensure compliance with laws of those countries and those of the U.S. governing our activities in non-U.S. countries.

12


Table of Contents

Those laws include, but are not limited to, anti-corruption laws and regulations (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010), data privacy laws and regulations (including the European Union's General Data Privacy Regulation), and trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations (including laws administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant sanctions authorities). Our compliance risks are heightened due to the go-to-market approach for our businessesbusiness that relies heavily on a partner ecosystem, the fact that we operate in and are expanding into, countries with a higher incidence of corruption and fraudulent business practices than others, the fact that we deal with governments and state-owned business enterprises, the fact that cyber attacks and intrusions that could expose sensitive information have increased, and the fact that global enforcement of laws has significantly increased.

Accordingly, while we strive to maintain a comprehensive compliance program, we cannot guarantee that an employee, agent or business partner will not act in violation ofmay violate our policies or U.S. or other applicable laws that a cyber attack or intrusion would not be successful, or that we may inadvertently violate such laws. Investigations of alleged violations of those laws and cyber intrusions can be expensive and disruptive. Violations of such laws can lead to civil and/or criminal prosecutions, substantial fines and other sanctions, including the revocation of our rights to continue certain operations, and also cause business loss and reputation loss,reputational harm, which could adversely affect our financial results and/or stock price.

Our international businesses present economic and operating risks, which could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We expect that our international operations will continue to expand and to account for a significant portion of our total revenue. Because we transact business in various foreign currencies, the volatility of foreign exchange rates has had and may in the future have a material adverse effect on our revenue, expenses and operating results.
Other risks inherent in our international operations include, but are not limited to, the following:
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign sales and development operations;
possible future limitations upon foreign-owned businesses;
increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;
inadequate local infrastructure; and
greater difficulty in protecting our intellectual property.
We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities and our effective tax rate may increase or fluctuate, which could increase our income tax expense and reduce our net income.
As a multinational organization, we are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in the U.S. and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide income tax provision and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our tax returns are subject to review by various taxing authorities. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes could be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. For example, we have an open tax dispute in South Korea with respect to which we paid $12 million in 2017 to accommodate the potential tax liability through 2015, which we are disputing. If we do not prevail in that challenge, we could be subject to additional liabilities for periods after 2015, which we estimate could be $13 million.
Our effective tax rate can be adversely affected by several factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:
changes in tax laws, regulations, and interpretations in multiple jurisdictions in which we operate;
assessments, and any related tax interest or penalties, by taxing authorities;
changes in the relative proportions of revenues and income before taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;
changes to the financial accounting rules for income taxes;
unanticipated changes in tax rates; and


changes to a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, if any.

II.Risks Related to Acquisitions and Strategic Relationships

Businesses we acquire may not generate the revenue and earnings we anticipate and may otherwise adversely affect our business.

We have acquired, and intend to continue to acquire, new businesses and technologies. If we fail to successfully integrate and manage the businesses and technologies we acquire, or if an acquisition does not further our business strategy as we expect, or if a business we acquire has unexpected legal or financial liabilities, our operating results will be adversely affected.

Moreover, business combinations involve risks and uncertainties

The types of issues that can adversely affect our operationswe may face in integrating and operating results, including:

the acquired business include:

difficulties managing an acquired company’s technologies or lines of business or entering new markets where we have limited or no prior experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions;
unanticipated operating difficulties in connection with the acquired entities, including potential declines in revenue of the acquired entity;
failure
complications relating to the assumption of pre-existing contractual relationships of an acquired company that we would not have otherwise entered into, the termination or modification of which may be costly or disruptive to our business;
issuing equity awards to, or assuming existing equity awards of, acquired employees, which may more rapidly deplete share reserves available under our shareholder-approved equity incentive plans;
litigation arising from the transaction, including potential intellectual property claims or disputes following our acquisition;
diversion of management and employee attention;
challenges with implementing adequate and appropriate controls, procedures and policies in an acquired business;
potential loss of key personnel in connection with an acquisition; and
potential incompatibility of business cultures.

13


Table of Contents

Further, if we do not achieve the expected return on our investments, it could impair the intangible assets and goodwill that we recorded as part of an acquisition, which could require us to record a reduction to the value of those assets.

We may incur significant debt or issue a material amount of debt or equity securities to finance an acquisition, which could adversely affect our businessoperating flexibility and financial statements.

If we were to incur a significant amount of debt—whether by borrowing funds under our credit facility or operating results and impair the assets that we recorded as a part ofotherwise or issuing new debt securities—to finance an acquisition, including intangible assets and goodwill;

diversion of management and employee attention;
loss of key personnel;
assumption of unanticipated legal or financial liabilities or other unidentified issues with the acquired business;
potential incompatibility of business cultures;
significant increases in our interest expense, leverage and debt service requirements ifand leverage would increase significantly. The increases in these expenses and in our leverage could constrain our ability to operate as we incurmight otherwise or to borrow additional debt to pay for an acquisition; and
ifamounts.

If we were to issue a significant amount of equity securities in connection with future acquisitions,an acquisition, existing stockholders would be diluted and earnings per share would likelycould decrease.

Our inability to maintain or develop our strategic and technology relationships could adversely affect our business.

We have many strategic and technology relationships with other companies with which we work to offer complementary solutions and services, that market and sell our solutions and that provide technologies that we embed in our solutions. We may not realize the expected benefits from these relationships and such relationships may be terminated by the other party. If these companies fail to perform or if a company terminates or substantially alters the terms of the relationship, we could suffer delays in product development, reduced sales or other operational difficulties and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

III.Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights, which could adversely affect our business and our ability to compete effectively.

Our software products are proprietary. We protect our intellectual property rights in these items by relying on copyrights, trademarks, patents and common law safeguards, including trade secret protection, as well as restrictions on disclosures and transferability contained in our agreements with other parties. Despite these measures, the laws of all relevant jurisdictions may not afford adequate protection to our products and other intellectual property. In addition, we frequently encounter attempts by individuals and companies to pirate our software. If our measures to protect our intellectual property rights fail, others may be able to use those rights, which could reduce our competitiveness and revenues.

In addition, any legal action to protect our intellectual property rights that we may bring or be engaged in could be costly, may distract management from day-to-day operations and may lead to additional claims against us, and we may not succeed, all of which would materially adversely affect our operating results.

Intellectual property infringement claims could be asserted against us, which could be expensive to defend and could result in limitations on our use of the claimed intellectual property.



The software industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights. If a lawsuit of this type is filed, it could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. We cannot be sure that we would prevail against any such asserted claims. If we did not prevail, we could be prevented from using the claimed intellectual property or be required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which might not be available on terms acceptable to us. In addition to possible claims with respect to our proprietary products, some of our products contain technology developed by and licensed from third parties and we may likewise be susceptible to infringement claims with respect to these third-party technologies.

IV.Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our ability to meet our payment obligations under our debt.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. As of November 15, 2019,2022, our total debt outstanding was approximately $1.1 $1,359billion, approximately $628 million of which was under our $1 billion secured credit facility (which matures in September 2023) and $500 million of which was associated with the 6%3.625% Senior Notes and 4.000% Senior Notes (together, “Senior Notes”) issued May 2016,in February 2020, which mature in May 2024February 2025 and 2028, respectively, and are unsecured. Of the $628unsecured, and $359 million outstandingof which was borrowed under our secured credit facility, $455 million was borrowed on November 1, 2019 to finance our acquisition of Onshape. In November 2019, we also amended the credit facility to increase the revolving loan commitment from $700 million to $1 billion (see Liquidity and Capital Resources-Outstanding Notes which matures in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Annual Report).February 2025. All amounts outstanding under the credit facility and the notesSenior Notes will be due and payable in full on their respective maturity dates. As of November 15, 2019,2022, we had unused commitments under our credit facility of approximately $357$641 million. PTC Inc. and one of our foreign subsidiaries are eligible borrowers under the credit facility and certain other foreign subsidiaries may become borrowers under our credit facility in the future, subject to certain conditions.

Notwithstanding the limits contained in the credit agreement governing our credit facility and the indenture governing our 2024 6% Notes, we may be able to incur substantial additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. If we do so, the risks related to our level of debt could intensify.

Specifically, our level of debt could:

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations and other ongoing business obligations, which may result in defaults;
result in an event of default if we fail to comply with the financial and other covenants contained in the agreements governing our debt instruments, which could result in all of our debt becoming immediately due and payable or require us to negotiate an amendment to financial or other covenants that could cause us to incur additional fees and expenses;
limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;
reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes and limit our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes;
increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions;
expose us to
amplify the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under theour credit facility, are at variable rates of interest;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business, the industries in which we operate, and the overall economy; and
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; andcompetitors.
increase our cost of borrowing.

Any of the above-listed factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our payment obligations under our debt agreements.

Despite our current level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt and other obligations. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness and other obligations in the future, including secured debt. Although the credit agreement governing our credit facility contains restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions. The additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. In addition, the credit agreement and the indenture governing our Senior Notes due 2025 and 2028, will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, or we incur other obligations, the related risks that we now face could intensify.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to generate sufficientenough cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors, some



of which are beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to effect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Our debt agreements restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from those dispositions and may also restrict our ability to raise debt or equity capital to be used to repay other indebtedness when it becomes due. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain proceeds in an amount sufficient to meet any debt service obligations then due.

Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our debt obligations.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and the lenders under our credit facility could terminate their commitments to loan money, the lenders could foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings, the holders of our 2024 6%Senior Notes could declare all outstanding principal, premium, if any, and interest to be due and payable, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. All of theseThese events could result in a loss of your investment.

We are required to comply with certain financial and operating covenants under our debt agreements. Any failure to comply with those covenants could cause amounts borrowed to become immediately due and payable and/or prevent us from borrowing under the credit facility.

We are required to comply with specified financial and operating covenants under our debt agreements and to make payments under our debt, which limit our ability to operate our business as we otherwise might operate it. Our failure to comply with any of these covenants or to meet any debt payment obligations could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, would result in any amounts outstanding, including any accrued interest and/or unpaid fees, becoming immediately due and payable. We might not have sufficientenough working capital or liquidity to satisfy any repayment obligations in the event of an acceleration ofif those obligations.obligations were accelerated. In addition, if we are not in compliance with the financial and operating covenants under the credit facility when we wish to borrow funds, we will be unable to borrow funds.

In addition, the financial and operating covenants under the credit facility may limit our ability to borrow funds, including for strategic acquisitions and share repurchases.

Our credit facility has variable interest tied to LIBOR and we could become subject to higher interest rates if the replacement rate we agree on with our banks is higher.

Borrowings under our revolving credit facility use the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark for establishing the interest rate. On March 5, 2021, the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated and authorized administrator of LIBOR, isannounced, and the subjectFCA confirmed, that one week and two-month USD LIBOR settings will cease on December 31, 2021, and that the USD LIBOR panel for all other tenors will cease on June 30, 2023.

The credit facility provides a mechanism pursuant to which we and other regulatory guidance and proposalsthe administrative agent may agree, under certain circumstances, to transition to an alternate base rate borrowing or amend the credit facility to establish an alternate interest rate to LIBOR that includes consideration of the then-prevailing market convention for reform. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely or to perform differently thandetermining interest rates for syndicated loans in the past. United States at that time.

Although we believe the recent discussions about alternative rates will not materially increase the interest rates on our credit facility, the final agreed rate may increase the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.

V.Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Debt Securities

Our operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter, making future operating results difficult to predict; failure to meet market expectations could cause the price of our securities to decline.

Our quarterly operating results historically have fluctuated and are likely to continue to fluctuate depending on many factors, including:

our adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 in 2019 creates significant revenue volatility;
variability in our contracts, including timing of start dates, length of contracts, and mix of on-premiseon-premises and cloud-based purchases, which would impact our revenue and earnings;
a high percentage of
the rate at which our orders historically have been generated in the third month of each fiscal quarter and any failure to receive, completeexisting contracts renew or process orders at the end of any quarter could cause us to fall short of our financial and operating targets;churn;
our adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 in 2019 creates significant revenue volatility;


a significant percentage of our orders comes from transactions with large customers, which tend to have long lead times that are less predictable;
because our operating expenses are largely fixed in the short term and are based on expected revenues,bookings, any failure to achieve our revenuebookings targets could cause us to miss our near term earnings and cash flow targets;
because a significant portion of our revenue and expenses are generated from outside the U.S., shifts in foreign currency exchange rates have had and could adversely affectcontinue to have an adverse effect on our reported results; and
we may incur significant expenses in a quarter in connection with corporate development initiatives, restructuring efforts or the investigation, defense or settlement of legal actions that would increase our operating expenses and reduce our earnings for the quarter in which those expenses are incurred.

Accordingly, our quarterly results are difficult to predict prior to the end of the quarter and we may be unable to confirm or adjust expectations with respect to our operating results for a quarter until that quarter has closed. Any failure to meet our quarterly revenue or earnings targetsexpectations could adversely impact the market price of our securities.

Our long-range financial targets are predicated on expanding our portfolio of recurring revenue contracts (ARR growth), operating margin improvements and cash flow growth that we may fail to achieve, which could reduce our expected earnings and cause us to fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors and cause the price of our securities to decline.
We are projecting long-term ARR, operating margin and cash flow growth. Our projections are based on the expected growth potential in the IoT and AR markets, as well as more modest growth in our core CAD and PLM markets. We may not achieve the expected ARR growth if the markets we serve do not grow at expected rates, if customers do not purchase, renew, or expand subscriptions as we expect, if we are not able to deliver solutions desired by customers and potential customers, and/or if acquired businesses do not generate the revenue growth that we expect.
Over time, we expect our operating margin to improve, which improvements are predicated on operating leverage and on improved operating efficiencies, particularly within our sales organization, and on service margin improvements. If we are unable to reduce our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue through productivity initiatives, or to reduce the amount of services we provide and/or to improve our services margins, we may not achieve our operating margin targets.
If we fail to achieve our long-range financial targets, or if analysts and investors expect that we will not achieve our long-range financial targets, the price of our securities could decline.

Our stock price has been volatile, which may make it harder to resell shares at a favorable time and price.

Market prices for securities of software companies are generally volatile and are subject to significant fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. TheFurther, our stock price has been more volatile than that of other software companies. Accordingly, the trading prices and valuations of thesesoftware companies’ stocks, and of ours, may not be predictable. Negative changes in the public’s perception of the prospects of software companies, or of PTC or the markets we serve, could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results.

VI. General Risk Factors

Our international businesses present economic and operating risks, which could adversely affect our proxy statement with respectbusiness and financial results.

We expect that our international operations will continue to expand and to account for a significant portion of our most recent annual meetingtotal revenue. Because we transact business in various foreign currencies, the volatility of stockholdersforeign exchange rates has had and Schedules 13Dmay in the future have a material adverse effect on our revenue, expenses and 13G filed with the SEC with respect tooperating results.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Annual Report about anticipated financial results, capital developments and growth, as well as about the development of our products, markets and markets,workforce, are forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans and assumptions. Important information about the bases for these plans and assumptions and factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from these statements is contained below and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a year reflect our fiscal year that ends on September 30.

Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our discussion of results includes discussion of our ARR (Annual Run Rate) operating measures (including "ARR," “license and subscription bookings” and other subscription-related measures) andmeasure, non-GAAP financial measures. Our operating 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 MeasuresMeasure 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 andmeasure, non-GAAP financial measures.

Revenue Sourcesmeasures, and Recognition
We sell software subscription and perpetual licenses, support for perpetual licenses, cloud services and professional services.
constant currency disclosures.

Subscription revenue is comprised of time-based licenses whereby customers use our software and receive related support for a specified term. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 are presented under the Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASC 606), while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition and revenues for non-software deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements (ASC 605). Through 2018, revenue for our subscription contracts was recognized ratably over the term of the contract under ASC 605; this differs from how revenue for such contracts is recognized under ASC 606. Our contracts with customers may include multiple goods and services. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized for each performance obligation that can be separately identified under the contract. Accordingly, our on-premise subscription contracts are unbundled into multiple performance obligations (i.e., license, cloud and support). Determining whether the software licenses and the cloud services are distinct from each other, and therefore performance obligations to be accounted for separately, or not distinct from each other, and therefore part of a single performance obligation, may require significant judgment. To date, for the majority of our products, we have concluded that the on-premise software licenses and cloud services provided in our subscription offerings are distinct from each other such that revenue from each performance obligation within the offering should be recognized separately. We will continue to review this conclusion as the cloud services that we deliver in combination with our on-premise subscriptions continue to evolve, which could result in changes to how we recognize revenue for such products. The license portion of our on-premise subscription contracts (approximately 50% to 55%) is recognized upfront and the cloud and support portions (approximately 45% to 50%) are recognized ratably over the term. Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud services for which revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract are included in subscription revenue and have been immaterial to date.

Perpetual licenses are a perpetual right to use the software, for which revenue is generally recognized up front upon shipment to the customer. Support revenue is comprised of contracts to maintain new and/or previously purchased licenses, for which revenue is recognized ratably over the


term of the contract. Professional services engagements typically result from sales of new licenses, and for which revenue is recognized as the services are performed.
Our revenue recognition practices and the effects of our adoption of ASC 606, including adjustments to accumulated deficit related to billed and unbilled deferred revenue, are described in "revenue Recognition" and "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and in Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report.
Our adoption of ASC 606 has increased the volatility of our revenue results as a significant portion of subscription revenue is recognized at the time of delivery, rather than being recognized ratably over the contract period.
Executive Overview

ARR increased 10% to $1,116 million ($1,134 million and 12% at the guidance rate) as of the end of 2019 reflecting solid growth for this metric across all our businesses, particularly in our IoT and AR businesses.

Operating cash flow was $285 million, up 15% in 2019 compared to 2018. We made $22 million more in restructuring payments in 2019 compared to 2018 related to our workforce realignment and headquarters relocation.
Our 2019 results reflect continued demand for our PLM and CAD products as well as growing demand for our IoT and Augmented Reality (AR) products. License and subscription bookings in the fourth quarter of 2019 were $150 million, higher than anticipated, driven by strong bookings in IoT and AR, including a mega deal (bookings greater than $5 million) with our strategic alliance partner, Rockwell Automation. License and subscription bookings were $472 million, up 1% (4%7% (16% constant currency) in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily driven by strong IoT and AR bookings growth, offset by declines in PLM and CAD bookings.
Under ASC 605, total revenue, software revenue and subscription revenue grew in 2019 compared to 2018, despite an 800 basis point increase in subscription mix in 2019. Under ASC 605, recurring software revenue was $1,079 million, an increase of 10% (13% constant currency) in 2019 compared to 2018. Under ASC 605, recurring revenue as a percentage of software revenue was 94% in 2019 compared to 90% in 2018. Under ASC 605, perpetual license and support revenue decreased year over year because we discontinued offering perpetual licenses for most of our solutions effective January 1, 2019. Operating margin under ASC 605 increased 200 basis points in 2019 resulting from the compounding effect of subscription licenses and lower operating expenses due to effective cost discipline. EPS declined under ASC 605 in 2019 primarily due to a higher tax provision.

We ended 2019 with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $327 million, up from $316 million at the end of 2018. We generated $285 million of cash from operations in 2019 compared to $248$1,572 million in 2018. Cash from operations in 2019 includes $25 million of restructuring payments compared to $3 million in the year-ago period. In 2019, we also used cash from operations to repurchase $115 million of common stock. As of September 30, 2019, the balance outstanding under our credit facility was $173 million and total debt outstanding was $673 million.
Operating Measures
We provide these measures to help investors understand the progress of our subscription transition. These measures are not necessarily indicative of revenue for the period or any future period.
ARR
ARR at the end of 2019 grew 10% (12% constant currency)FY’22 compared to the end of 2018, reflectingFY’21. Excluding the strengthimpact of our products and solutions and the valueCodebeamer, which we provide to our customers. Our CAD and PLM businesses saw combined ARR growth of 8% (10% constant currency). Our IoT and AR businesses delivered 26% ARR growth (28% constant currency). With the combination of IoT and AR exiting fiscal 2019 at greater than 12% of total ARR and one-third of total bookings, these businesses represent a growing portion of the PTC business. Our focused solutions group closed the year stronger than expected, delivering 8% (10% constant currency) ARR growth for the year.
License and Subscription Bookings
chart-be91c64c186a28e1b17.jpg
License and subscription bookings for 2019 were $472 million, up 1% over 2018 (4% on a constant currency basis). In the fourth quarter of 2019 we had a mega deal (bookings greater than $5 million) with Rockwell Automation. The mega deal from Rockwell Automation was issued to satisfy a portion of


expected 2020 demand and will be credited against committed ACV minimums dueacquired in 2020 under the parties’ strategic alliance agreement, as amended.
Subscription ACV
New subscription ACV increased 13% over 2018 to $199 million due to continued adoption of our subscription offerings around the globe.
Deferred Revenue and Backlog (Unbilled Deferred Revenue)
Deferred revenue primarily relates to software agreements invoiced to customers for which the revenue has not yet been recognized. Unbilled deferred revenue (backlog) is the aggregate of booked orders for license, support and subscription (including multi-year subscription contracts with start dates after October 1, 2018 through the third quarter of 2019 that were subjectFY’22, organic ARR growth was 6% (15% constant currency) in FY’22 compared to FY’21.

FY’22 revenue of $1.93 billion increased 7% over FY’21 (11% in constant currency). FY’22 operating margin of 23% increased approximately 200 basis points over FY’21 and non-GAAP operating margin of 38% increased approximately 300 basis points. Operating margin improvements are due to higher revenue and continued operating expense discipline. FY’22 diluted EPS was $2.65 compared to $4.03 in FY'21. Diluted EPS in FY'22 included a $35 million non-operating charge associated with the decrease in value of an equity investment in a publicly-traded company, offset by a non-operating $30 million credit associated with the sale of a portion of our PLM services business. Diluted EPS in FY'21 benefited from gains associated with an equity investment in a publicly-traded company, and income tax credits related to a limited annual cancellation right,release of which approximately $158a previously held valuation allowance. FY'22 non-GAAP diluted EPS was $4.58, representing a 15% increase over non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.97 in FY'21.

FY’22 operating cash flow of $435 million was cancellable at September 30, 2019) for which the associated revenue has not been recognizedgrew 18% over FY’21; FY’22 free cash flow of $416 million grew 21% over FY’21. FY'22 operating cash flow and the customer has not yet been invoiced. Early in the fourth quarter of 2019, we discontinued the cancellation right for substantially all new contracts. We do not record unbilled deferred revenue on our Consolidated Balance Sheets; such amounts are recorded as deferred revenue when we invoice the customer. We provide this view of deferred revenuefree cash flow included an $11.8 million outflow related to acquisition and backlog to enable investors to understand the significant contractual commitments we have to customerstransaction-related costs and to provide a view of future revenue that we expect will be recognized, even if those commitments are not reflected on our balance sheet.

(1) Upon adoption of ASC 606, approximately $367$40.8 million of total deferred revenue was recorded as a decrease to accumulated deficitrestructuring payments. We ended FY’22 with cash and cash equivalents of $272 million and gross debt of $1.36 billion, with an offsetting $219 million increase to unbilled accounts receivable, a $143 million decrease to deferred revenue and a $5 million increase in other assets netaggregate interest rate of liabilities, primarily as a result of the acceleration of subscription license revenue under ASC 606.3.9%.



Of the unbilled deferred revenue balance at September 30, 2019, we expect to invoice customers approximately $504 million within the next twelve months. Unbilled deferred revenue decreased by 3% year over year due to initial multi-year contracts renewing for shorter periods.
We expect that the amount of deferred revenue and unbilled deferred revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the specific timing, duration and size of customer subscription and support agreements, varying billing cycles of such agreements, the specific timing of customer renewals (which are typically for one year), foreign currency fluctuations, the timing of when deferred revenue is recognized as revenue and the timing of our fiscal quarter ends. The average contract duration was approximately 2 years for new subscription contracts in 2019, 2018 and 2017.
The effects of our adoption of ASC 606, including the adjustments to accumulated deficit related to billed and unbilled deferred revenue, are described in Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsequent Events
On November 1, 2019, PTC acquired Onshape, creators of the first Software as a Service (SaaS) product development platform that unites robust CAD with powerful data management and collaboration tools, for approximately $470 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition is expected to accelerate PTC's ability to attract new customers with a SaaS-based product offering and position the company to capitalize on the inevitable industry transition to SaaS. In connection with the acquisition, PTC borrowed $455 million under its existing credit facility.
On November 13, 2019 we increased the revolving loan commitment under the credit facility to $1 billion and made other administrative amendments to the credit facility.
Future Expectations, Strategies and Risks
Our transition to a subscription model has been a headwind for revenue and earnings in 2019 with an increase in our subscription bookings mix of 800 basis points as compared to 2018. We expect the effect of the transition to moderate in fiscal 2020. We expect to grow revenue and expand our margins in fiscal 2020. We anticipate that IoT and AR adoption rates will continue to expand and will be the most significant driver to growth. In addition, we believe the recent acquisition of Onshape will provide us an opportunity to participate in the higher growth CAD and PLM markets serving small and medium businesses where we traditionally have not had a presence.
PTC remains committed to long-term development of Creo and Windchill. We want to be best-in-class with both the on-premise and SaaS deployment models in the CAD market. We will continue our pursuits of real-time simulation, generative design, additive manufacturing, and embedded IoT and AR capabilities.
With the growth opportunity in the SaaS-based CAD market and other strategic initiatives we have undertaken, as well as our continued commitment to operating margin improvement, we are realigning our workforce in 2020 to shift investment to support these strategic, high growth opportunities. We expect this realignment will result in a restructuring charge of up to $25 million in 2020. The effect of the realignment is reflected in our 2020 guidance.
As we move into 2020, our three overriding goals are:
sustainablegrowtha09.jpg

Sustainable Growth
We are focused on driving ARR growth both in the high-growth Industrial IoT and AR markets and in our core CAD and PLM markets.
expandsubscriptiona10.jpg

Cost Controls and Margin Expansion
Our goal is to drive continued margin expansion over the long term. We continue to proactively manage our cost structure and invest in what we believe are high return opportunities in our business. We expect to deliver continued long-term operating margin expansion, as we drive ARR growth and realize the compounding benefit of our maturing subscription business.



costctrlsmarginexpansiona10.jpg

Expand Free Cash Flow
Our goal is to grow our free cash flow. PTC's free cash flow is driven primarily by increasing operating profit and efficiently managing both working capital and capital expenditures. Our plan for 2020 is to increase operating profit by expanding ARR and maintaining an efficient cost structure.

Income tax adjustments reflect the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments which are calculated by applying the applicable tax rate by jurisdiction to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above. We recorded the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in our 2018 GAAP earnings, resulting in a non-cash benefit of approximately $12 million. We have excluded this benefit from our non-GAAP results.


(3) Cash flow from operations for 2019 includes $25 million of restructuring payments. Cash flow from operations for 2018 includes $3 million of restructuring payments. Cash flow from operations for 2017 includes $37 million of restructuring payments, a $12 million payment related to a Korea tax audit and $3 million of legal settlement payments.

Cash flow from operations for FY’22 and FY’21 includes $40.8 million and $14.5 million of restructuring payments, respectively. Cash from operations for FY’22 and FY’21 includes $11.8 million and $15.0 million of acquisition and transaction-related payments, respectively. Cash from operations for FY'21 includes $17.9 million in un-forecasted payments related to the prior period tax exposure from a non-U.S. tax dispute.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations

Approximately 60%55% of our revenue and 40% of our expenses are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. CurrencyDollar. 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, which areresults. Changes in U.S. Dollars. If 2019 reported results were converted into U.S. dollars based on the corresponding prior year’s foreign currency exchange rates 2019 revenue would have been higher by $34 million and expenses would have been higher by $22 million. The net impact on year-over-yeara headwind to reported results would have been an increase in operating income of $12 million in 2019. FY’22.

The results of operations in the table above, and the tables and discussions below about revenue by line of business, product group, and revenue by geographic region in the tables that follow present both actual percentage changes year over year and percentage changes on a constant currency basis.

Revenue
We discuss our revenue Our constant currency disclosures are calculated by multiplying the results in local currency for FY'22 and FY'21 by linethe exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2021. If FY'22 reported results were converted into U.S. dollars using the rates in effect as of business,September 30, 2021, ARR as of September 30, 2022 would have been higher by product group$134 million and by geographic region below. Our discussion is focused on our results under ASC 605 for purposesoperating income in FY'22 would have been $27 million higher.

Under ASC 606, softwarethe 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 results were lower than under ASC 605 primarilyin the period, and as a result can impact the comparability of reported revenue period-over-period. We recognize revenue for the accelerationlicense 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 element 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. As we continue to expand our SaaS offerings and release additional cloud functionality into our products, and customers begin to migrate from on-premises subscriptions to SaaS products, we expect that over time a higher portion of our on-premise subscription revenue associated withwill be recognized ratably. Given the retained earnings adoption adjustment recordeddifferent mix, duration and volume of new and renewing contracts in the first quarter, offset byany period, year-over-year or sequential revenue recognized in 2019, which would otherwise have been recognized ratably over future years under ASC 605. Professional services revenue under ASC 606 was higher than under ASC 605 due to the requirement to separately identify certain performance obligations, which would have otherwise been combined and recognized ratably under ASC 605, but instead were recognized in 2019.

The strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies had a substantial impact on our revenue growth in FY'22. On an actual currency basis, FY'22 revenue increased $126 million (7%), compared to an increase of $202 million (11%) on a constant currency basis.

Software revenue increased in FY’22 compared to FY’21 due to growth of Windchill and supportArena revenue in the Americas and was 82% of totalcontribution from the recently acquired Codebeamer business in Europe, offset by a decline in Creo revenue primarily driven by foreign currency fluctuations in Europe and 94% of softwarechanges in contract durations. In FY'22, our average durations for on-premises subscriptions starting in the year decreased slightly, resulting in a reduced revenue for 2019. Our subscription revenue includes an immaterial amount of Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud services revenue.

As our mix of subscription sales relativebenefit compared to perpetual license sales has increased, perpetual license revenue and support revenue have declined and are expectedFY'21, which benefited from significant increases in average contractual durations due to continue to decline as customers purchase our solutions as subscriptions and convert existing perpetual licenses with support contracts to


subscriptions. Effective January 1, 2019, new software licenses for our core solutions and ThingWorx solutions became available only by subscription worldwide.
Our results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by our ability to close large transactions. The amount of bookings and revenue, particularly license and subscriptions, attributable to large transactions, and the number of such transactions, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on customer purchasing decisions and macroeconomic conditions. Such transactions may have long lead times as they often follow a lengthy product selection and evaluation process and, for existing customers, are influenced by contract expiration cycles. This may cause volatility in our results.
Professional Services
business rule changes.

Professional services engagements typically result from sales of new licenses; revenue is recognized over the term of the engagement. Under ASC 605 professional services revenue was up 5% (9% constant currency) in 2019FY’22 compared to 2018.FY'21 reflects an increase in revenue associated with large PLM consulting engagements, particularly with automotive, aerospace and defense and consumer electronics customers. Professional services revenue in 2018 includes a $14.5 million write-down related to a settlementthe first half of a customer dispute concerning a receivable. ExcludingFY’21 was negatively impacted by services delivery challenges associated with the impact of this write-down, professional services revenue in 2019 would have declined 4% year over year. We expectCOVID-19 pandemic.

Our long-term expectation is that professional services revenue will trend flat-to-downdown over time due to our strategy to expand margins by migratingas we migrate more services engagements to our partners and deliveringdeliver products that require less consulting and training services.

As described in Part I, Item 1. Business above, in the second half of FY'22, we accelerated this strategy through the sale of a portion of our PLM services business to ITC Infotech.

Windchill software revenue grewincreased by 12% (16% constant currency), driven by a significant increase in 2019on-premises subscription license revenue and an increase in cloud services revenue. Windchill ARRincreased 10% (19% constant currency) in FY'22 compared to 2018,FY'21.

Arena software revenue increased by 122% (actual and constant currency), driven by an increase in cloud services revenue and an increase in on-premises subscription license revenue. Arena was acquired in January 2021, so it did not contribute to FY'21 revenue for the full year and purchase accounting adjustments to acquired deferred revenue had a greater impact on FY'21 revenue than FY'22. Arena ARR increased by 27% (actual and constant currency) in FY'22 compared to FY'21.

IIoT software revenueincreased by 7% (10% constant currency) driven by an increase in cloud services revenue. IIoT ARRincreased 14% (21% constant currency) in FY'22 compared to FY'21.

The Codebeamer business, which we acquired in the third quarter, performed well and added a point of ARR growth, taking constant currency ARR growth to 16% for the fourth quarter and full year. Codebeamer generated $9 million of revenue in FY'22, with $6 million of on-premises subscription revenue whichand $2 million of perpetual support revenue. Codebeamer ARR as of September 30, 2022 was up 41% (44%$16 million ($18 million on a constant currency basis) year over year. This growth was offset in part.

Creo software revenue decreased by 1% primarily driven by the 49% (46%effect of foreign currency headwinds in Europe. Creo software revenue increased 4% on a constant currency basis) declinebasis. Creo ARRwas flat (increased 11% in perpetual license revenueconstant currency) in 2019 due to the end of life of perpetual licenses.

Solutions professional services revenue in 2018 reflects the $14.5 million write-down described above. Excluding the impact of this write-down, Solutions professional services revenue would have declined 11% year over year. Solutions professional services revenue for 2019 declinedFY'22 compared to 2018 due toFY'21.

Under ASC 605, the increase in total gross margin in 2019FY'22 compared to 2018 reflects higher software revenue driven by the increase in recurring subscription revenue. Margins for license and subscription are beginning to expand as the subscription model matures and revenue that has been deferred begins to contribute to each quarterly period. Under ASC 605, support gross margins are down in 2019 compared 2018 due to the decrease in perpetual support revenue due to conversions of support to subscription and the end of life of perpetual licenses.
Professional services revenue in 2018 reflects the $14.5 million revenue write-down associated with the customer dispute described above. Without the revenue write-down, professional services gross margin would have been 17% in 2018.

On a constant currency basis from the prior period, total costs and expenses increased 5% from 2018 to 2019 and increased 2% from 2017 to 2018.

2019 compared to 2018
ASC 605 costs and expenses in 2019 compared to 2018FY'21 increased primarily due to the following:



a $32.7 million restructuring charge associated with exiting our Needham headquarters facility in the second quarter of 2019 and a $15.7 million restructuring charge for our workforce realignment in the first quarter of 2019,
a $9.3$34 million increase in cloud services hosting costs,restructuring charges primarily due to the restructuring plan initiated in Q1’22;
a $3.6$9 million increase in royalty expense,travel expenses;
a $2.4$6 million increase in rent expense partially due to one month of overlapping rent in Needham and the new Seaport location in January 2019, andintangible amortization expense;
a $2.1$6 million increase in marketing expenses.software subscriptions; and
The increases above were
a $5 million increase in internal hosting costs;

partially offset by:

a $15.0$12 million decrease in total compensation expense (including benefit costscosts) due to lower headcount caused by attrition and travel expenses, primarily driven by restructuring actions; and
a $12.5$6 million decrease in performance-based compensation and a $4.7 million decrease in salaries, benefits and travel costs, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in commissions expense, andstock-based compensation.

Our cost of license revenue consists of fixed and variable costs associated with reproducing and distributing software and documentation, as well as royalties paid to third parties for technology embedded in or licensed with our software products, amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired products, and cost of subscription licensing. Costs associated with providing post-contract support such as providing software updates and technical support for both our subscription offerings and our perpetual licenses are included in cost of support and cloud service revenue. Cost of license revenue as a percentage of license revenue can vary depending on the subscription mix percentage, the product mix sold, the effect of fixed and variable royalties, headcount and the level of amortization of acquired software intangible assets.
Cost of license revenue in 2019 under ASC 606 is higher than under ASC 605 due to the timing of revenue recognition under ASC 606, resulting in earlier recognition of the associated royalty costs. Under ASC 605, the support component of subscription revenue is included in license revenue, which reduces cost of license as a percentage of total license revenue.
Cost of license revenue in 2019 compared to 2018 increased primarily due to a $3.2 million increase in royalty expense, offset by $2.8 million lower compensation costs.
Cost of license revenue as a percentage of license revenue under ASC 605 decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 due to higher revenue as recurring subscription revenue increased.

Our cost of support and cloud services revenue includes costs associated with providing post-contract support such as providing software updates and technical support for both our subscription offerings and our perpetual licenses, cost of cloud services (including third party hosting costs), and cost of software as a service revenue. Cost of support and cloud services revenue consists of costs such as salaries, benefits, and computer equipment and facilities associated with customer support and cloud services and the release of support updates (including related royalty costs).
Under ASC 605, the support component of subscription revenue is included in license revenue, which increases the cost of support and cloud services as a percentage of total support and cloud services revenue.
In 2019 compared to 2018, cloud services hosting costs increased 32% ($4.5 million), offset by a decrease in total support and cloud services compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses of 1% ($1.2 million) and in third-party consulting costs of 23% ($1.5 million).

In January 2019, we relocated to our new worldwide headquarters in the Boston Seaport District. Our prior headquarters lease expires in November 2022. As a result, we have overlapping rent obligations for those premises and in 2019 we recorded a restructuring charge of $32.7 million associated with the restructuring of that lease. The facility restructuring charge is based on the net present value of remaining lease commitments net of estimated sublease income of $7.6 million, of which $3.9 million is committed as of the end of fiscal 2019. We continue to seek additional subtenants for the space. Restructuring charges and estimated cash outflows could increase if we are unable to sublease our prior headquarters as we expect.
The headquarters relocation charges include accelerated depreciation expense and duplicate rent for January associated with exiting our prior headquarters facility.
In the first quarter of 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan to realign our workforce to shift investment to support Industrial Internet of Things and Augmented Reality strategic opportunities. As this was a realignment of resources rather than a cost-savings initiative, it did not result in significant cost savings. The restructuring plan was completed in the first quarter of 2019. In 2019 we recorded restructuring charges of $15.7 million related to this restructuring plan.
In 2019, we made cash payments related to restructuring charges of $24.7 million. At September 30, 2019, accrued restructuring totaled $31.1 million, of which we expect to pay $12 million within the next twelve months.

2021. We repaid $355 million of our revolving credit facility in FY'22, offset by $264 million borrowed at the end of April to fund the acquisition of the Codebeamer business. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days. As of September 30, 2022, the annual rate for borrowings under the credit facility was 4.1%, which has subsequently increased to 5.7%.

Foreign currency net losses include costs of hedging contracts, certain realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses, and foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the required period-end currency re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Because a large portion of our revenue and expenses is transacted in foreign currencies, we engage in hedging transactions involving the use of foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Changes in the balance year over year are due to required period-end currency re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries that use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency.  Hedging costs decreased $4.0 million in 2019 compared to 2018 due to implementation of favorable net investment hedges of foreign currency exposure.

In 2019,FY’21, our effective tax rate is higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% due in large part, to the scheduling of the reversal of existing temporary differences resulting in deferred tax liabilities that


cannot be offset against deferred tax assets requiring an increase to the U.S. valuation allowance, U.S. tax reform (as described below) and foreign withholding taxes, an obligation of the U.S. parent. This is offsetimpacted by our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate, the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation and the indirect effects of the adoption of ASC 606.rate. A significant amount of our foreign earnings is generated by our subsidiaries organized in Ireland.Ireland and the Cayman Islands. In 2019FY’22 and FY’21 the foreign rate differential predominantly relates to these Irishthose earnings.
On December 22, 2017, In addition to the United States enactedforeign rate differential, our tax reform legislation throughrate differed from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the "Tax Act"), which significantly changed existing U.S.statutory federal income tax laws by a reductionrate due to the net effects of the corporate tax rate, the implementation of a new system of taxation for non-U.S. earnings, the imposition of a one-time tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries,Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) and the expansion of the limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation and interest expense. As we have a September 30 fiscal year-end, a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 24.5% applies for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. The Tax Act also provides that net operating losses generated in years ending after December 31, 2017 (our fiscal 2018) will be carried forward indefinitely and can no longer be carried back, and that net operating losses generated in years beginning after December 31, 2017 can only reduce taxable income by up to 80% when utilized in a future period. The Tax Act includes a provision to tax global intangible low-tax income (GILTI) of foreign subsidiaries, a deduction for Foreign-DerivedForeign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) regimes (together referred to as U.S. Tax reform), and the base erosion anti-abuseexcess tax (BEAT) measure that taxes certain payments between a U.S. corporation and its foreign subsidiaries. The GILTI, FDII and BEAT provisions were effective for us beginning October 1, 2018. Our accounting policy isbenefit related to treat tax on GILTI as a current period cost includedstock-based compensation.

Additionally in FY’22, our results include tax expense inrelating to the year incurred.

In 2018, we provided no federal income taxes payablebook over tax basis difference on goodwill disposed of as part of the sale of a portion of our PLM service business. As a result of the deemed repatriationnet effect of undistributed earnings as the tax was offset by a combination of current year losses and existing attributes which had a full valuation allowance recorded against the related deferred tax assets. In 2018, we recorded a state income taxes payable on the deemed repatriation of $1.7 million. We also recorded a deferred tax benefit of $14.1 million for the impact of the Tax Act on our net U.S. deferred income tax balances. This was primarily attributable to the reduction of the federal tax rate on the net deferred tax liabilitythese items in the U.S., and the ability to realize net operating losses from the reversal of existing deferred tax assets which can now be carried forward indefinitely and can therefore be netted against deferred tax liabilities for indefinite lived intangible assets.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued rules that allow for a period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. We finalized recording the impacts of the Tax Act in the quarter ended December 29, 2018 and did not record any significant adjustments.
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The purpose of ASU 2016-16 is to simplify the income tax accounting of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory and to record its effect when the transfer occurs. We adopted this amendment beginning in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective method with a cumulate effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $72.3 million, with a corresponding increase of $75.3 million to deferred tax assets, a $6.0 million decrease to income tax assets and a $3.0 million decrease to income tax liabilities. The adjustment primarily relates to deductible amortization of intangible assets in Ireland. Post adoption,2022, our effective tax rate no longerdid not differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate.

Valuation Allowance
We have concluded, basedthe valuation allowance on the weightmajority of available evidence, that a full valuation allowance continues to be required against our U.S. net deferred tax assets as they are not more likely than notassets.

Our results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021, include a charge of $37.3 million related to be realizedthe effects of a tax matter in the future. We will continueRepublic of Korea (South Korea) of $34.4 million, and the resulting impact on U.S. income taxes of $2.9 million. The charge related to reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period. However, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.



Tax Audits and Examinations
In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 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. Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in material changes in our estimates.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, we received an assessment of approximately $12 million from the tax authorities in South Korea. The assessment relateswith respect to various tax issues, primarily foreign withholding taxes.taxes, in South Korea. We made additional payments of approximately $20 million to the tax authorities in South Korea in FY’21 for the years 2016 to 2021.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

We invest our cash with highly rated financial institutions and in diversified domestic and international money market mutual funds. cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $272 million, compared to $327 million at September 30, 2021.

A significant portion of our cash is generated and held outside the U.S. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11 million in the U.S., $105 million in Europe, $128 million in Asia Pacific (including India) and $28 million in other non-U.S. countries. We have appealedsubstantial cash requirements in the U.S., but we believe that the combination of our existing U.S. cash and intendcash equivalents, marketable securities, our ability to vigorously defendrepatriate cash to the U.S., future U.S. operating cash flows and cash available under our positions. 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 $435 million in FY'22 compared to $369 million in FY'21. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to approximately $170 million of higher cash collections, offset by $30 million more in salary and salary-related payments, a $57 million increase in disbursements largely related to prepayments made in FY'22, and a $12 million increase in tax-related payments.

Restructuring payments totaled $41 million in FY'22, compared to $15 million in FY'21. Cash paid for income taxes was $55 million in FY'22 compared to $58 million in FY'21.

As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility and the note indentures. Any failure to comply with such covenants under the credit facility would prevent us from being able to borrow additional funds under the credit facility, and, as with any failure to comply with such covenants under the note indentures, could constitute a default that could cause all amounts outstanding to become due and payable immediately. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days. As of September 30, 2022, the annual rate for borrowings outstanding was 4.1%, which has subsequently increased to 5.7%.

Our credit facility and our Senior Notes are described in Note 9. Debt of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report.

Share Repurchase Authorization

Our Articles of Organization authorize us to issue up to 500 million shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $1 billion of our common stock through September 30, 2023. We may use cash from operations and borrowings under our credit facility to make any such repurchases. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued.

28


Table of Contents

In FY'22 and in FY'21 we repurchased 1.05 million shares for $125 million and approximately 0.23 million shares in the open market for $30 million, respectively.

Our long-term goal is to return approximately 50% of our free cash flow to shareholders via share repurchases, while also taking into consideration the interest rate environment and strategic initiatives and acquisitions, which could cause us to reduce, suspend, or cease repurchases.

Expectations for Fiscal 2023

We believe that upon completion of a multi-level appeal process it is more likely than not that our positionsexisting cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations and amounts available under the credit facility and otherwise, will be sustained. Accordingly,sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements (which we haveexpect to be approximately $20 million in FY’23) through at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term capital requirements.

Our expected uses and sources of cash could change, our cash position could be reduced, and we could incur additional debt obligations if we engage in strategic transactions, retire debt, or repurchase shares, any of which could be commenced, suspended, or completed at any time. Any share repurchases or debt retirement will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Such debt retirement or issuance, share repurchases, or strategic transactions may be material. We regularly borrow under our credit facility to make strategic acquisitions and expect to continue to do so, and may substantially increase our indebtedness to pursue strategic acquisitions, which would increase our debt repayment obligations, including related interest obligations.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2022, our future contractual obligations were related to debt, leases, pension liabilities, unrecognized tax benefits, and purchase obligations. See Note 9. Debt, Note 19. Leases, Note 14. Pension Plans, and Note 8. Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for information about those obligations, which Notes are incorporated by reference into this section. Our purchase obligations were approximately $161.4 million, with $64.2 million expected to be paid in FY'23 and $97.2 million thereafter. Purchase obligations represent minimum commitments due to third parties, including royalty contracts, research and development contracts, telecommunication contracts, information technology maintenance contracts in support of internal-use software and hardware, financing leases, operating leases with original terms of less than 12 months, and other marketing and consulting contracts. Contracts for which our commitment is variable, based on volumes, with no fixed minimum quantities, and contracts that can be canceled without payment penalties are not recorded a tax reserve for this matter. We paid this assessmentincluded in the first quarter of 2017, pending resolution of the appeal process. If the South Korean tax authorities werepurchase obligation amounts above. The purchase obligations included above are in addition to prevail the potential additional exposure through 2019 would be approximately $13 million.

Our Future Effective Income Tax Rate
Our future effective income tax rate may be materially impacted by the amount of income taxes associated with our foreign earnings, which are taxed at rates different from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, as well as the timing and extent of the realization of deferred tax assets and changes in the tax law. Further, our tax rate may fluctuate within a fiscal year, including from quarter to quarter, due to items arising from discrete events, including settlements of tax audits and assessments, the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties, and acquisitions of other companies.
In July 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The opinion invalidated part of a treasury regulation requiring stock-based compensation to beamounts included in any qualified intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The Company previouslyCurrent liabilities and Prepaid expenses recorded a tax benefit based on the opinion in the case,our September 30, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of September 30, 2022, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of approximately $15 million (of which $0.5 million was offset by a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets. On June 7, 2019, the U.S. Courtcollateralized).

29


Table of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the U.S. Tax Court’s decision. On July 22, 2019, Altera Corp. filed a petition for an en banc rehearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which was denied on November 12, 2019.  Altera Corp. has 90 days from this date to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the decision. Due to the fact that the Altera decision is not yet final, as well as uncertainty surrounding the status of the current regulations and questions related to jurisdiction given the Company does not reside in the Ninth Circuit, we have determined no adjustment is required to the consolidated financial statements as a result of this ruling. The Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to its consolidated financial statements.

Operating Measures

Measure

ARR

To help investors understand and assess the success of our subscription transition, we provide an

ARR operating measure. On September 5, 2019, we revised the ARR definition. ARR(Annual Run Rate) represents the annualized value of our portfolio of recurring customer arrangementsactive subscription software, cloud, SaaS, and support contracts as of the end of the reporting period, including subscription software, cloud, and support contracts. This is a change from our prior definition where ARR for a quarter was calculated by dividing the portion of non-GAAP software revenue attributable to subscription and support under ASC 605 for the quarter by the number of days in the quarter and multiplying by 365. The definition change did not materially change the amount of ARR reported under ASC 605 for the 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 new customers, existing customer expansions and includes the impact of total churn, which reflects churn, offset by the impact of any pricing increases.

customers. Because this measure represents the annualized value of recurring customer contracts as of the end of a reporting period, ARRpoint in time, it does not represent revenue for any particular period or remaining revenue that will be recognized in future periods.
Subscription Bookings and Subscription ACV


On September 5, 2019, we announced a revision to our reporting measures. Effective in 2020, we will no longer provide bookings but instead we will provide ARR, which we believe provides a more comprehensive view of a subscription business.
Given the difference in revenue recognition between the sale of a perpetual software license and a subscription, during our transition to a subscription business model we used bookings for internal planning, forecasting and reporting of new license and cloud services transactions (as subscription bookings includes cloud services bookings).
In order to normalize between perpetual and subscription licenses, we define subscription bookings as the subscription annualized contract value (subscription ACV) of new subscription contracts multiplied by a conversion factor of 2. We arrived at the conversion factor of 2 by considering a number of variables, including pricing, support, length of term, and renewal rates. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, the average subscription contract term was approximately two years.
We define subscription ACV as the total value of a new subscription contract (which may include annual values that increase over time and without regard to contractual termination options) divided by the term of the contract (in days), multiplied by 365. If the term of the subscription contract is less than a year, and is not associated with an existing contract, the booking is equal to the total contract value. Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, minimum ACV commitments under our Strategic Alliance Agreement with Rockwell Automation are included in subscription ACV if the period-to-date minimum ACV commitment exceeds actual ACV sold under the Agreement.
We define license and subscription bookings as subscription bookings plus perpetual license bookings.
Because subscription bookings is a metric we use to approximate the value of subscription sales if sold as perpetual licenses, it does not represent the actual revenue that will be recognized with respect to subscription sales or that would be recognized if the sales were perpetual licenses, nor does the annualized value of monthly software rental bookings represent the value of any such booking.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 revenue—GAAP revenue
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

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. We believe that free cash flow, in conjunction with cash from operations, is a useful measure of liquidity since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations.

The non-GAAP financial measures other than free cash flow exclude, fair value adjustments related to acquired deferred revenue and deferred costs,as applicable: stock-based compensation expense,expense; amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related charges, pension plan termination-related costs, a legal accrual, restructuring charges, non-operating credit facility refinancing costs, identified discreteassets; acquisition and transaction-related charges included in general and administrative expenses; restructuring and other charges, net; non-operating other expense, netcharges; and the relatedincome tax effects of the precedingadjustments.

The items and any other identified tax items.

These itemsexcluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are normally included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management excludes these items when evaluating our ongoing performance and/or predicting our earnings trends, and therefore excludes them when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our GAAP results, as should investors.
Settlement Revenue Exclusions. In Q4'18, we settled a previously disclosed dispute with respect to a customer receivable. The settlement included partial payment of the receivable and new software purchases. The net revenue write-down recorded in Q4'18 was $9.3 million, comprised of a $14.5 million professional services revenue write-down, partially offset by new subscription revenue of $5.2 million. We excluded the professional services revenue write-down because the write-down related to revenue that was recorded in periods prior to fiscal 2017 and is not reflective of current operating performance and


excluded the new subscription revenue because it mitigated the impact of the professional services revenue write-down.
Fair value of acquired deferred revenue is a purchase accounting adjustment recorded to reduce acquired deferred revenue to the fair value of the remaining obligation, so our GAAP revenue after an acquisition does not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. We believe excluding these adjustments to revenue from these contracts (and associated costs in fair value adjustment to deferred services cost) is useful to investors as an additional means to assess revenue trends of our business.

Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense relating to stock-based awards issued to executive officers, employees and outside directors, consisting of restricted stock, stock options and restricted stock units. We exclude this expense as it is a non-cash expense and we assess our internal operations excluding this expense and believe it facilitates comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets is a non-cash expense that is impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.

Acquisition-related30


Table of Contents

Acquisition and other transactionaltransaction-related charges included in generalGeneral and administrative costs expenses are direct costs of potential and completed acquisitions and expenses related to acquisition integration activities, including transaction fees, due diligence costs, severance and professional fees. Subsequent adjustments to our initial estimated amount of contingent consideration associated with specific acquisitions are also included within acquisition-relatedacquisition and transaction-related charges. Other transactional charges include third-party costs related to structuring unusual transactions. We do not include these costs when reviewing our operating results internally. The occurrence and amount of these costs will vary depending on the timing and size of acquisitions.acquisitions and transactions.

U.S. pension plan termination-related costs include charges related to our plan that we began terminating in the second quarter of 2014. Costs associated with termination of the plan are not considered part of our regular operations.

Restructuring and other charges, net include includes excess facility restructuring charges headquarters relocation(credits); impairment and accretion expense charges related to the lease assets of exited facilities; sublease income from previously impaired facilities; and severance costs resulting from reductions of personnel driven byand third-party professional consulting fees related to modifications toof our business strategy. Headquarters relocation charges are non-cash accelerated depreciation expense recorded in anticipation of exiting our prior headquarters facility due to changes in the estimated useful lives of fixed assets. We do not include these costs when reviewing our operating results internally. These costs may vary in size based on our restructuring plan.

Non-operating credit facility refinancing costscharges (credits) includes gains or losses associated with sales or changes in value of assets or liabilities which are non-operating chargesgenerally investing or financing in nature, and are inconsistent with our ordinary operating activities. In FY'22, we record asrecorded gains associated with the sale of assets, including the sale of a result of the refinancingportion of our credit facility. We assess our internal operations excluding these costs and believe it facilitates comparisonsPLM services business. Additionally in FY'22, we recorded a loss associated with the reduction in value of an equity investment in a publicly-traded company. In FY'21, we recorded a gain related to the performancechange in value of other companiesan equity investment in our industry.a publicly-traded company.

Income tax adjustments include the tax impact of the items above and assumes that we are profitable on a non-GAAP basis in the U.S. and one foreign jurisdiction. It also eliminates the effect of the valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions. Additionally, we exclude other material tax items that we do not include when reviewing our operating results internally.

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.

The items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures often have a material impact on our financial results and such items often recur. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this Annual Report 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.

Income tax adjustments reflect the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments which are calculated by applying the applicable tax rate by jurisdiction to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above. In FY'22, adjustments include tax expense of $15.5 million related to the sale of a portion of our PLM services business, of which $8.1 million pertains to the basis difference in goodwill. Our FY'21 GAAP results included benefits of $179.7 million related to the release of the valuation allowance on the majority of our U.S. net deferred tax assets. As we were profitable on a non-GAAP basis, the FY'21 tax provision was calculated assuming there was no valuation allowance. Additionally, our non-GAAP results for FY'21 excluded tax expenses of $34.8 million related to a non-U.S. prior period tax exposure, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenues, results of operations, and net income, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are made based on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained, and we may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time.

The accounting policies, methods and estimates used to prepare our financial statements are described generally in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report. The most important accounting judgments and estimates that we made in preparing the financial statements involved:

revenue recognition;
accounting for income taxes; and
valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations.


A critical accounting policy is one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires us to make subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies require us to make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time of the estimate, and different estimates that we could have used, or changes in the estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting policies, guidelines and interpretations related to our critical accounting policies and estimates are generally subject to numerous sources of authoritative guidance and are often reexamined by accounting standards rule makers and regulators. These rule makers and/or regulators may promulgate interpretations, guidance or regulations that may result in changes to our accounting policies, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Nature of Products and Services
Our sources of revenue include: (1) subscription, (2) perpetual license, (3) support for perpetual licenses and (4) professional services. Revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software products and from related support and/or professional services contracts. Effective October 1, 2018, we

We record revenues in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. In accordance with ASC 606,Customers. For a full description of our revenue is recognized when a customer obtains controlaccounting policy, refer to Note 2. Summary of promised products or services.

Our sources of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchangeinclude: (1) subscriptions, (2) perpetual licenses, (3) support for these products orperpetual licenses and (4) professional services. To achieve the core principleSubscriptions include term-based on-premises licenses, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and hosting services.

Judgments and Estimates

Determination of this standard, we apply the following five steps:

(1) Identify the contract with the customer,
(2) identify the performance obligations in the contract,
(3) determine the transaction price,
(4) allocation the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract,
(5) recognize revenue when orobligations. Our subscriptions are frequently sold as we satisfy a performance obligation.
We enter into contracts that include combinationsbundle of products support and professional services, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations with differing revenue recognition patterns referenced below.

Through 2018, we recorded revenues for software related deliverables in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition and revenues for non-software deliverables in accordance withASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements. Under those standards, revenue is recordedwhen the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred (generally, FOB shipping point or electronic distribution), (3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is probable. We exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with determining the amounts of software license and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period.
Judgments and Estimates
Our contracts with customers for subscriptions typically include commitments to transfer term-based, on-premise software licenses bundled with support and/or cloud services. On-premiseservices over the same term. On-premises software is typically determined to be a distinct performance obligation and is thus recognized separately from the support whichand/or cloud components. On-premises license software revenue is sold forgenerally recognized at the samepoint in time that the software is made available to the customer, while the support and cloud software revenue components are recognized over the term of the subscription. For subscription arrangements whichcontract. In cases where subscriptions include cloud services, we assessfunctionality and on-premises software, an assessment has been performed to determine whether the cloud


component is highly interrelated with on-premise term software licenses. Other than a limited population of subscriptions, the cloud component is not currently deemed to be interrelated with the on-premise term software and, as a result, cloud services are accounted fordistinct from the on-premises software. In the substantial majority of instances, cloud services provide incremental functionality to customers and have been considered distinct and recognized separately from the on-premises software. This assessment could have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognition and may change as a distinctour product offerings evolve.

Although the exchange right is limited to software products within a similar product grouping, the exchange right is not limited to products with substantially similar features and functionality as those originally delivered. We determined thataccount for this right to exchange previously delivered software for different software represents variable consideration to be accounted for as a liability.

recognized. Changes in these estimates could significantly impact revenue for any given period.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to calculate our income tax expense based on taxable income by jurisdiction. There are many transactions and calculations about which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain; as a result, our calculations involve estimates by management. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of revenue-sharing, cost-reimbursement and transfer pricing arrangements among related entities and the differing tax treatment of revenue and cost items across various jurisdictions. If we were compelled to revise or to account differently for our arrangements, that revision could affect our recorded tax liability.

liabilities.

Table of Contents

The income tax accounting process also involves estimating our actual current tax liability, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, we must establish a valuation allowance as a charge to income tax expense.

As of September 30, 2019,2022, we have a valuation allowance of $146.1$17.8 million against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a valuation allowance of $31.6$4.5 million against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that a full valuation allowance continues to beis not required against our U.S. net deferred tax assets as they are not more likely than not to be realized in the future. We will continue to reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period.

The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions is established primarily for our net operatingcapital loss carryforwards, the majority of which do not expire. ThereHowever, there are limitations imposed on the utilization of such net operatingcapital losses that could further restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

Prior to the passage of the U.S. Tax Act, the Company asserted that substantially all of the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries were considered indefinitely invested and accordingly, no deferred taxes were provided. Pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. Tax Act, these earnings were subjected to a one-time transition tax.tax and there is therefore no longer a material cumulative basis difference associated with the undistributed earnings. We maintain our assertion to permanently reinvest these earnings outside the U.S. unless repatriation can be done with no significant tax cost,substantially tax-free, with the exception of a



foreign holding company formed in 2018 and our Taiwan subsidiary. If we decide to repatriate any additional non-U.S. earnings in the future, we may be required to establish a deferred tax liability on such earnings. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on the undistributed earnings would not be material.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 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. Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in material changes in our estimates.

Valuation of Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations

In accordance with business combination accounting, we allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Determining these fair values requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Our identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of developed technology, core technology, tradenames, customer lists and contracts, and software support agreements and related relationships. Developed technology consists of products that have reached technological feasibility. Core technology represents a combination of processes, inventions and trade secrets related to the design and development of acquired products. Customer lists and contracts and software support agreements and related relationships represent the underlying relationships and agreements with customers of the acquired company’s installed base. We have generally valued intangible assets using a discounted cash flow model. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to:

35


Table of Contents

future expected cash flows from software license sales, customer support agreements, customer contracts and related customer relationships and acquired developed technologies and trademarks and trade names;names and
expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimating cash flows from the projects when completed;
the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used by the combined company; and
discount rates used to determine the present value of estimated future cash flows.

In addition, we estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets based upon the expected period over which we anticipate generating economic benefits from the related intangible asset.

Net tangible assets consist of the fair values of tangible assets less the fair values of assumed liabilities and obligations. Except for deferred revenues, net tangible assets were generally valued by us at the respective carrying amounts recorded by the acquired company, if we believed that their carrying values approximated their fair values at the acquisition date. TheFor acquisitions completed prior to FY'22, the values assigned to deferred revenue reflect an amount equivalent to the estimated cost plus an appropriate profit margin to perform the services related to the acquired company’s software support contracts.

During FY'22, we adopted ASU 2021-08, whereby deferred revenue for acquisitions completed in FY'22 reflect the amounts that would have been deferred as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606.

In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax relatedtax-related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date and we reevaluate these items quarterly with any adjustments to our preliminary estimates being recorded to goodwill provided that we are within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) and we continue to collect information in order to determine their estimated values. Subsequent to the measurement period or our final determination of the estimated value of uncertain tax positions or tax relatedtax-related valuation allowances, whichever comes first, changes to these uncertain tax positions and tax relatedtax-related valuation allowances will affect our provision for income taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur, which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.



When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable, we perform an assessment of the asset for potential impairment. This assessment is based on projected undiscounted future cash flows over the asset’s remaining life. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, we record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset, determined using projected discounted future cash flows of the asset.

Cash and cash equivalents
We invest our cash with highly rated financial institutions and in diversified domestic and international money market mutual funds. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. In addition, we hold investments in marketable securities totaling approximately $57 million with an average maturity of 12 months. At September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $270 million, compared to $260 million at September 30, 2018, reflecting $285 million in operating cash flow, $25 million of net borrowings under our credit facility, $13 million in proceeds from issuance of common stock, and $10 million from settlements of net investment hedges, offset by $115 million used for repurchases of common stock, $87 million used for acquisitions, $64 million used for capital expenditures, $44 million used to pay withholding taxes on stock-based awards that vested in the period, $8 million used for purchases of investments, $2 million used for the payment of contingent consideration, and $1 million used to purchase marketable securities, net of proceeds from maturities.
Cash provided by operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $285 million in 2019 compared to $248 million in 2018. The increase in 2019 is primarily due to higher cash collection of accounts receivable of approximately $80 million, offset by an increase in payments related to payables and accruals due to timing, a decrease in net income of $79 million, and an increase in restructuring payments of $22 million (year over year).
Restructuring payments totaled $25 million in 2019, compared to $3 million in 2018. Cash paid for income taxes was $39 million in 2019 compared to $23 million in 2018.

The net borrowings in 2019 reflect borrowings of $205 million under our credit facility to fund the working capital requirements and Frustum acquisition, offset by repayments of $180 million. In 2019 we repurchased $115 million of our common stock, paid $44 million in withholding taxes in connection with stock-based awards, received $13 million in proceeds from issuance of common stock under our ESPP, and made $2 million in contingent consideration payments.
Credit Agreement
In November 2019, we amended and restated our existing credit facility to increase the revolving loan commitment from $700 million to $1 billion and amend other provisions. The credit facility is a multi-currency credit facility with a syndicate of sixteen banks for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Administrative Agent. Outstanding revolving loan amounts may be repaid in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, prior to the September 13, 2023 maturity date, when all remaining amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full.
We use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of businesses, share repurchases and working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2019, we had $173.1 million in revolving loans outstanding under the credit facility, the fair value of which approximated its book value. As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $527 million undrawn, of which $512 million would be available to borrow, the availability ofrecently issued accounting pronouncements, which is reducedincorporated herein by letters of credit and certain other long-term liabilities. Giving effect to the Onshape acquisition and the amendment to the credit facility, we had approximately $357 million available to borrow.
Any borrowings by PTC Inc. or certain of our foreign subsidiaries under the credit facility would be guaranteed, respectively, by our material domestic subsidiaries that become parties to the subsidiary guaranty, if any, and/or by PTC Inc. Borrowings are also secured by first priority liens on property of PTC and certain of our material domestic subsidiaries, including 100% of the voting equity interests of certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of our material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates that reset every 30 to 180 days depending on the rate and period selected by us and based upon our total leverage ratio. During 2019, the weighted average annual interest rate for all borrowings outstanding was 5.38% and, as of September 30, 2019, the rate on the credit facility was 3.44%. We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility ranging from 0.175% to 0.30% per year based on our total leverage ratio.
The credit facility imposes customary covenants that limit our ability to incur liens or guarantee obligations, pay dividends and make other distributions, make investments and engage in certain other transactions. In addition, we and our material domestic subsidiaries may not invest in, or loan to, our foreign subsidiaries in aggregate amounts exceeding $100 million for any purpose and an additional $200 million for acquisitions of businesses. We also must maintain the following financial ratios:


Required RatioRatio as of September 30, 2019

Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
Ratio of senior consolidated total indebtedness (which excludes unsecured indebtedness) to consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.
Not > 3.00:1.000.47:1.00
reference.

Any failure to comply with such covenants would prevent us from being able to borrow additional funds, and would constitute a default, permitting the lenders to, among other things, accelerate the amounts outstanding and terminate the credit facility. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility.

Outstanding Notes
On May 12, 2016, we issued $500 million of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 6% Notes”) in a registered offering and used the net proceeds to repay indebtedness under our senior credit facility. As of September 30, 2019, unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the offering and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the 2024 6% Notes were $4.0 million.
The 2024 6% Notes are unsecured, mature on May 15, 2024, and bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, payable semi-annually (November and May). We may redeem some or all of the 2024 6% Notes at redemption prices specified in the 2024 6% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we undergo a change of control, we will be required to make an offer to purchase all the 2024 6% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2024 6% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The notes were issued under an indenture that contains customary covenants. Subject to certain exceptions, our ability to incur certain additional debt is limited unless, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and the application of the proceeds thereof, the ratio of our EBITDA to our Consolidated Fixed Charges (as both terms are defined in the indenture) is not greater than 2.00 to 1.00. The indenture also restricts our ability to incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other distributions, sell assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions. Any failure to comply with these and other covenants included in the indenture could constitute an event of default that could result in the acceleration of the payment of the aggregate principal amount of 2024 6% Notes then outstanding and accrued interest. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Share Repurchase Authorization
Our Articles of Organization authorize us to issue up to 500 million shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $1,500 million of our common stock for the October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020 period. We use cash from operations and borrowings under our credit facility to make such repurchases. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued.
In 2019, we repurchased 1.4 million shares in the open market for $115 million. In addition, in 2019 and 2018, we repurchased 3.0 million and 9.4 million shares, respectively, under accelerated share repurchase agreements.
Expectations for Fiscal 2020
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 $28 million in 2020) through at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term capital requirements.
On November 1, 2019, we acquired Onshape for approximately $470 million, net of cash acquired. In connection with the acquisition, we borrowed $455 million under our existing credit facility, and we also increased the loan commitment to $1 billion on November 13, 2019. We plan to suspend our share repurchase program in 2020 in order to accelerate debt repayments.


Our expected uses of cash could change, our cash position could be reduced, and we could incur additional debt obligations if we purchase our outstanding shares or retire debt or engage in strategic transactions, any of which could be commenced, suspended or completed at any time.  Any such purchases or retirement of debt will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.  We also evaluate possible strategic transactions on an ongoing basis and at any given time may be engaged in discussions or negotiations with respect to possible strategic transactions.  The amounts involved in any share or debt repurchases or strategic transactions may be material.
We ended 2019 with a cash balance of $270 million and marketable securities of $57 million. A significant portion of our cash is generated and held outside of the United States. At September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $40.0 million in the United States, $83.0 million in Europe, $122.0 million in Asia Pacific Rim (including India) and $25.0 million in other non-U.S. countries. All of the marketable securities are held in Europe. We have substantial cash requirements in the United States, but we believe that the combination of our existing U.S. cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and 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.

Includes required principal repayments and interest and commitment fees on our 2024 6% Notes and our revolving credit facility based on the balance outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and the interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2019, 6.0% for our 2024 6% Notes and 3.44% for our revolving credit facility. The credit facility matures on September 13, 2023, when all remaining amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. Principal and interest on any additional borrowing that may be required to refinance the credit facility upon its maturity are not included in the contractual obligations above.
(2)
The future minimum lease payments above include minimum future lease payments for excess facilities under non-cancellable operating leases. These leases qualify for operating lease accounting treatment and, as such, are not included on our balance sheet. See Note 10.Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for additional information regarding our operating leases. On September 7, 2017, we entered into a lease for approximately 250,000 square feet located at 121 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts. The term of the lease is expected to run from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2037. Base rent for the first year of the lease is $11.0 million and will increase by $1 per square foot leased per year thereafter ($0.3 million per year). Base rent first becomes payable on July 1, 2020. In addition to the future minimum lease payments above, for a majority of leases we are required to pay a pro rata portions of building operating costs and real estate taxes (together, “Additional Rent”). Additional rent is variable in nature and is not included in the operating lease payments above.
(3)Purchase obligations represent minimum commitments due to third parties, including royalty contracts, research and development contracts, telecommunication contracts, information technology maintenance contracts in support of internal-use software and hardware and other marketing and consulting contracts. Contracts for which our commitment is variable, based on volumes, with no fixed minimum quantities, and contracts that can be canceled without payment penalties have been excluded. The purchase obligations included above are in addition to amounts included in current liabilities and prepaid expenses recorded on our September 30, 2019 consolidated balance sheet.
(4)
These obligations relate to our international pension plans and are not subject to fixed payment terms. Payments have been estimated based on the plans’ current funded status, planned employer contributions and actuarial assumptions. In addition, we may, at our discretion, make additional voluntary contributions to the plans. See Note 14.Pension Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for further discussion.
(5)
As of September 30, 2019, we had recorded total unrecognized tax benefits of $11.5 million. This liability is not subject to fixed payment terms and the amount and timing of payments, if any, which we will make related to this liability, are not known. See Note 8.Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for additional information.
As of September 30, 2019, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of approximately $15.1 million (of which $1.1 million was collateralized).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated (to



the extent of our ownership interest therein) into our financial statements. We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In accordance with recently issued accounting pronouncements, we will be required to comply with certain changes in accounting rules and regulations, someTable of which are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to ContentsNote 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for all recently issued accounting pronouncements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We face exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.

Foreign currency exchange risk

Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to Western European countries, Japan, Israel, China and Canada. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that arise from receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. We do not enter into or hold foreign currency derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge future cash flowflows or forecast transactions.

Our non-U.S. revenues generally are transacted through our non-U.S. subsidiaries and typically are denominated in their local currency. In addition, expenses that are incurred by our non-U.S. subsidiaries typically are denominated in their local currency. In 2019, approximately 60%Approximately 55% of our revenue and 40% of our expenses were transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Historically two-thirds of our revenue and half of our expenses were transacted in currencies other than U.S. Dollars. Currency translation affects our reported results because we report our results of operations in U.S. Dollars. Historically, our most significant currency risk has been changes in the Euro and Japanese Yen relative to the U.S. Dollar. Based on current revenue and expense levels (excluding restructuring charges and stock-based compensation), a $0.10 change in the USD to EuropeanEUR exchange ratesrate and a 10 Yen change in the Yen to USD exchange rate would impact operating income by approximately $17$32 million and $7$12 million, respectively.

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from intercompany transactions, with most intercompany transactions occurring between a U.S. dollar functional currency entity and a foreign currency denominated entity. Intercompany transactions typically are denominated in the local currency of the non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary in order to centralize foreign currency risk. Also, both PTC (the parent company) and our non-U.S. subsidiaries may transact business with our customers and vendors in a currency other than their functional currency (transaction risk). In addition, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results and balances of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars (translation risk). If sales to customers outside of the United States increase, our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will increase.

Our foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the U.S. dollar value of balances denominated in foreign currency, resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our foreign currency hedging program uses forward contracts to manage the foreign currency exposures that exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The contracts are primarily are denominated in Canadian DollarsJapanese Yen and European currencies, and have maturities of less than threefour months.

Generally, we do not designate

The majority of our foreign currency forward contracts are not designated 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 currency denominated receivables and payables are included in foreign currency net losses.

Debt

In addition to the $500 million$1 billion due under our 2024 6%2025 and 2028 Senior Notes, as of September 30, 2019,2022, we had $173$359 million outstanding under our credit facility. As of November 15, 2019, we have $628 million outstanding under our credit facility due to the Onshape acquisition. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days depending on the rate and period selected by us. These loans are subject to interest rate risk as interest rates will be adjusted at each rollover date to the extent such amounts are not repaid. As of September 30, 2019,2022, the annual rate on the credit facility loans was 3.44%4.14%. If there waswere a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates, the annual net impact to earnings and cash flows would be $1.7$3.6 million. This hypothetical change in cash flows and earnings has been calculated based on the borrowings outstanding at September 30, 20192022 and a 100 basis point per annum change in interest rate applied over a one-year period.

Cash and cash equivalents

As of September 30, 2019,2022, cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. We invest our cash with highly rated financial institutions in North America, Europe and Asia-PacificAsia Pacific and in diversified domestic and international money market mutual funds. At September 30, 2019,2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $40.0$11 million in the United States, $83.0$105 million in Europe, $122.0$128 million in Asia Pacific Rim (including India), and $25.0$28 million in other non-U.S. countries. Given the short maturities and investment grade quality of the portfolio holdings at September 30, 2019,2022, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents.

Our invested cash is subject to interest rate fluctuations and, for non-U.S. operations, foreign currency exchange rate risk. In a declining interest rate environment, we would experience a decrease in interest income. The



opposite holds true in a rising interest rate environment. Over the past several years, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, European Central Bank and Bank of England have changed certain benchmark interest rates, which havehas led to declines and increases in market interest rates. These changes in market interest rates have resulted in fluctuations in interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income will continue to fluctuate based on changes in market interest rates and levels of cash available for investment. Our consolidated cash balances were impacted favorably by $2.6 million and $7.8 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively and unfavorably by $1.1 million in 2017, due to changesChanges in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar particularlyhad an unfavorable impact of $24.2 million and $0.1 million on our consolidated cash balances in 2022 and 2021, respectively, in particular due to changes in the Euro and the Japanese Yen.

Evaluation 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.

As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2019.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and


Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

deteriorate

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 20192022 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment and those criteria, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2019,2022, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 20192022 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears under Item 8.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20192022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PTC Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 20192022 and 2018,2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, (loss), of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2019,2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013) (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 20192022 and 2018,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 20192022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions


The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management'sManagement’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidatedfinancial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.


F-1


Table of Contents

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.




Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting


A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Critical Audit Matters


The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that waswere communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relatesrelate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.


Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identification of Distinct Performance Obligations and Estimate of Standalone Selling Price


As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s sources of revenue include: (1) subscription,subscriptions, (2) perpetual license,licenses, (3) support for perpetual licenses and (4) professional services. Revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software products and from related support and/or professional services contracts. During the year ended September 30, 2019,2022, the Company recognized revenue from contracts with customers of $1,255.6$1,933.3 million. The Company’s adoption of the accounting standard related to revenue recognition resulted in a decrease in accumulated deficit of $363.2 million, net of tax. The Company’s contracts with customers for subscriptions typically include commitments to transfer term-based, on-premiseon-premises software licenses bundled with support. On-premisesupport and/or cloud services. On-premises software is determined to be a distinct performance obligation from support. Judgment is required by management to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation. Management uses the estimated standalone selling price method to allocate the transaction price for items that are not sold separately. The estimated standalone selling price is determined using all information reasonably available to management, including market conditions and other observable inputs. The corresponding revenues are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.


F-2


Table of Contents

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition, specifically related to management’s identification of distinct performance obligations, and their estimate of standalone selling price, is a critical audit matter are there wasthe significant judgment by management in both the identification of distinct performance obligations, specifically the determination that the on-premiseon-premises software is determined to be a distinct performance obligation from support, and in estimating the standalone selling price using market pricing conditions and other observable inputs, such as historical pricing practices, for each distinct performance obligation. Thiswhich in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s identification of distinct performance obligations within contracts with customers and the judgments made by management used to estimate the standalone selling price used to allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations. Due to this complexity, there



was a significant level of auditor judgment and effort in evaluating the Company’s adoption of the accounting standard related to revenue recognition including the completeness and accuracy of management’s cumulative adoption adjustments to accumulated deficit and deferred revenue.

customers.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over management’s adoption of the accounting standard related to revenue recognition, identification of distinct performance obligations and estimate of standalone selling prices used to allocate transaction price to distinct performance obligations in its contracts with customers.obligations. These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policy resulting from its adoption of the accounting standard related to revenue recognition and testing the completeness and accuracy of management’s cumulative adoption adjustments; (ii) testing management’s identification of distinct performance obligations in its contracts with customers; (iii) testing management’s process for estimating standalone selling price which included testing the completeness and accuracy of input data usedcustomers by examining revenue contracts on a sample basis and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management, principally market and pricing conditions and other observable inputs such as historical pricing practices; and (iv) evaluation of the accuracy of management’s allocation of transaction price to thewhether these performance obligations contained withinare satisfied at a sample of contracts with customers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

PTC Inc. was incorporated in 1985 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. PTC is a global software and services company that deliversprovides a technology platformportfolio of innovative digital solutions that work together to transform how physical products are engineered, manufactured, and solutions to help companies design, manufacture, operate, and service things for a smart, connected world.

serviced.

Basis of Presentation

Our fiscal year-end is September 30. The consolidated financial statements include PTC Inc. (the parent company) and its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries, including those operating outside the U.S.United States. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

We prepare our financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.United States. that require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Changes in Presentation and Reclassifications

On October 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASC 606). Results for reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition and revenues for non-software deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements (ASC 605). In connection with the adoption of ASC 606, we changed our presentation of the statement of operations to reflect revenue and associated costs as license, support and cloud services, and professional services. For the prior year period, all components of subscription licenses (including support) are included in license revenue. Prior to our adoption of ASC 606, revenues from subscription licenses and support thereon were not separated and were previously included in subscription revenue in our consolidated statement of operations since we did not have VSOE of fair value for support on subscription sales. In addition, revenue and costs associated with our cloud services, which are immaterial and were previously reported in subscription revenue, are classified as support and cloud services for all periods presented.

Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2019, in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, all non-service net periodic pension costs are now presented in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The prior period non-service net periodic pension cost amounts have been reclassified for comparability.
Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2019, in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, restricted cash is now included with cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The prior period restricted cash amounts have been reclassified for comparability. As of September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, $1.1 million of restricted cash was included in other current assets.
Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2018, in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, excess tax benefits are now classified as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. The prior period excess tax benefits have been reclassified for comparability.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign Currency Translation

For our non-U.S. operations where the functional currency is the local currency, we translate assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity. For our non-U.S. operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, we remeasure monetary assets and liabilities using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical rates and record resulting exchange gains or losses in foreign currency net losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We translate income



statement amounts at average rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in foreign currencyOther income, net losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

Nature of Products and Services

Our sources of revenue include: (1) subscription,subscriptions, (2) perpetual license,licenses, (3) support for perpetual licenses and (4) professional services. Revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software products and from related support and/or professional services contracts. Effective October 1, 2018, we record revenues in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products or services. To achieve the core principle of this standard, we apply the following five steps:

(1) Identify
identify the contract with the customer,
(2)
identify the performance obligations in the contract,
(3)
determine the transaction price,
(4) allocation
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
(5)
recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation.

Through 2018, we recorded revenues for software related deliverables in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition and revenues for non-software deliverables in accordance withASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements. Under those standards, revenue is recordedwhen the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred (generally, FOB shipping point or electronic distribution), (3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is probable. We exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with determining the amounts of software license and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period.

Judgments and Estimates

Our contracts with customers for subscriptions typically include commitments to transfer term-based, on-premiseon-premises software licenses bundled with support and/or cloud services. On-premiseOn-premises software is determined to be a distinct performance obligation from support which is sold for the same term of the subscription. For subscription arrangements which include cloud services and on-premises licenses, we assess whether the cloud component is highly interrelated with on-premisethe on-premises term-based software licenses. Other than a limited population of subscriptions, the cloud component is not currently deemed to be interrelated with the on-premiseon-premises term software and, as a result, cloud services are accounted for as a distinct performance obligation from the software and support components of the subscription.

Judgment is required to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation. We use the estimated standalone selling price method to allocate the transaction price for items that are not sold separately. The estimated standalone selling price is determined using all information reasonably available to us, including market conditions and other observable inputs. The corresponding revenues are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied. WeWhere subscriptions include on-premises software and support only, we determined that 50% to 55%approximately 55% of the estimated standalone selling price for subscriptions that contain distinct license and support



performance obligations areis attributable to software licenses and 45% to 50%, depending upon the product offering,approximately 45% is attributable to support for those licenses.
Some of our subscription offerings include a combination of on-premises and cloud-based technology. In such cases, the cloud-based technology is considered distinct and receives an allocation of approximately 5% to 50% of the estimated standalone selling price of the subscription. The amounts allocated to cloud are based on assessment of the relative value of the cloud functionality in the subscription, with the remaining amounts allocated between software and support.

Our multi-year, non-cancellable on-premiseon-premises subscription contracts provide customers with an annual right to exchange software within the original subscription with other software. Although the exchange right is limited to software products within a similar product grouping, the exchange right is not limited to products with substantially similar features and functionality as those originally delivered. We determined that this right to exchange previously delivered software for different software represents variable consideration to be accounted for as a liability. We have identified a standard portfolio of contracts with common characteristics and applied the expected value method of determining variable consideration associated with this right. Additionally, where there are isolated situations that are outside of the standard portfolio of contracts due to contract size, longer contract duration, or other unique contractual terms, we use the most likely amount method to determine the amount of variable consideration. In both circumstances, the variable consideration included in the transaction price is constrained to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. As ofSeptember 30, 2019,2022 and 2021, the total refund liability was $22.9 $34.2million and $40.3 million, respectively, primarily associated with the annual right to exchange on-premiseon-premises subscription software.

Practical Expedients

We have elected certain practical expedients associated with the adoption of the newour revenue standard.recognition policy. We do not account for significant financing components if the period between revenue recognition and when the customer pays for the products or services is one year or less. Additionally, we recognize revenue equal to the amount we have a right to invoice when the amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance to date.

Cash Equivalents

Our cash equivalents are invested in money market accounts and time deposits of financial institutions. We have established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that are intended to maintain safety and liquidity. Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased.

Marketable Securities

Our

As of September 30, 2022, our investment portfolio consistsconsisted of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate notes/bonds and government securities that havehad a maximum maturity of three years. In December 2020, we sold all our marketable securities to partially fund the Arena acquisition, resulting in proceeds of $56.2 million. Neither gross realized gains nor gross realized losses related to the sale were material.

Equity Securities

On July 22, 2021, a company in which we were a preferred equity investor, Matterport, Inc., completed a business combination with a public company. The longercarrying value of our investment, which was classified as a non-marketable equity investment, was approximately $8.7 million prior to the durationbusiness combination. Our preferred shares were converted into common shares of these securities,Matterport. As of September 30, 2022, PTC held no shares in Matterport, as we sold all previously held shares during the more susceptible they arethree months ended March 31, 2022. The shares sold included those held as of September 30, 2021, as well as additional shares which PTC earned during the second quarter of FY'22 based on contingent earn-outs achieved in January 2022. Shares related to changesthe original investment were restricted from sale until January 2022 (six months after Matterport became a public company). At expiration of this lock-out, we sold all shares held from the original investment for $39.1 million at an average price of $9.1 per share. In February 2022, we sold all remaining shares for $3.6 million at an average share price of $7.6 per share. Due to the decline in market interest ratesthe price per share during the first six months of fiscal 2022, we recognized a net loss of $34.8 million in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No additional gains or losses have been recognized for 2022 and bond yields. Allthe aggregate realized gain from the original investment of $8.7 million was $34.0 million.

The fair value of the Matterport shares as of September 30, 2021 was $77.5 million and was determined using the closing price of Matterport's common stock as of September 30, 2021, less a temporary discount for lack of marketability. For the year ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an unrealized losses are due to changesgain of $68.8 million on the appreciation of the value of the shares in market interest rates, bond yields and/or credit ratings.

Other income, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

We review our investments to identify and evaluatealso have non-marketable equity investments that have an indication of possible impairment. We concluded that, at September 30, 2019, the unrealized losses were temporary.

Non-Marketable Equity Investments
Wewe account for non-marketable equity investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments ofoff the same issuer. We monitor non-marketable equity investments for events that could indicate that the investments are impaired, such as deterioration in the investee'sissuer's financial condition and business forecasts and lower valuationsvaluation in recent or proposed financings. Changes in fair value of non-marketable equity investments are recorded in Other income, (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not record any impairment charges for our investments. The carrying value of our non-marketable equity investments is recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $9.4$1.0 million and $1.7$2.2 million as of September 30, 20192022 and 2018,2021, respectively. In 2017, we sold a cost method investment in a private company for $13.7 million for a gain

Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cashCash and cash equivalents, accountsAccounts receivable and accountsAccounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of investments, trade accounts receivable and foreign currency derivative instruments. Our cash,Cash, cash equivalents, and foreign currency derivatives are placed with financial institutions with high credit standings. Our credit risk for derivatives is also mitigated due to the short-term nature of the contracts. Our customer base consists of large numbers ofmany geographically diverse customers dispersed across many industries. No individual



customer comprised more than 10% of our trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 20192022 or 20182021 or comprised more than 10% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2019, 20182022, 2021 or 2017.2020.

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. Generally accepted accounting principles prescribe 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. 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.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Effective October 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which replaced the incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model that requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic conditions, and accounts receivable aging trends. Our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable was $0.7$0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million as of September 30, 2019, $0.6 million as of September 30, 2018, $1.1 million as of September 30, 20172022, 2021 and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2016.2020, respectively. Uncollectible trade accounts receivable written-off, net of recoveries, were $0.2$0.4 million, $1.0$0.1 million and $1.5$0.2 million in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively. BadNet bad debt expense was $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $1.5$0.5 million in 2019, 20182022, net bad debt recovery was $0.2 million in 2021 and 2017, respectively,net bad debt expense was $0.0 million in 2020, and is included in generalGeneral and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivatives

Generally accepted accounting principles require all derivatives, whether designated in a hedging relationship or not, to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to Western European countries, Japan, China and Canada.India. Our foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the U.S. dollar value of anticipated transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency,currencies resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency forward contracts and options, to manage the exposures to foreign currency exchange risk to reduce earnings volatility. We do not enter into derivatives transactions for trading or speculative purposes. For a description of our non-designated hedge and cash flownet investment hedge activitiesactivity see Note 17.Derivative Financial Instruments.

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 thesefour months. The majority of our foreign currency forward contracts are not designated 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 or losses on the underlying foreign-denominated balance are offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract and are included in foreign currency losses,Other income, net.



Cash Flow Hedges
Our foreign exchange risk management program objective is to identify foreign exchange exposures and implement appropriate hedging strategies to minimize earnings fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate movements.
 In 2017, 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 we designated certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges of Euro, Yen and SEK denominated intercompany forecast revenue transactions (supported by third party sales). No cash flow hedges were entered after the first quarter of 2019. All foreign exchange forward contracts were carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and had maximum duration of up to 15 months.
Cash flow hedge relationships were designated at inception, and effectiveness was assessed prospectively and retrospectively using monthly regression analysis. As the forward contracts were highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on the hedged transactions, we record the effective portion of changes in these cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transactions were recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts due to changes in time value were included in the assessment of effectiveness. Our derivatives were not subject to any credit contingent features. We managed credit risk with counter-parties by trading among several counter-parties and we reviewed our counter-parties’ credit at least quarterly.

Net Investment Hedges

We translate balance sheet accounts of subsidiaries with foreign functional currencies into the U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulatedAccumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We designate certain foreign exchange forward contracts as net investment hedges against exposure on translation of balance sheet accounts of Euro functional subsidiaries. Net investment hedges partially offset the impact of foreign currency translation adjustment recorded in accumulatedAccumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All foreign exchange forward contracts are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the maximum duration of foreign exchange forward contracts is approximately three months.

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 functional subsidiaries. As the forward contracts are highly effective in offsetting exchange rate exposure, we record changes in these Unrealized gain (loss) on net investment hedges in accumulatedAccumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassify them to foreignForeign currency translation adjustment in accumulatedAccumulated 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 counter-partiescounterparties by trading among several counter-parties,counterparties, and we review our counter-parties’counterparties’ credit at least quarterlquarterly.

Leases

We adopted ASC 842, y.Leases effective October 1, 2019. ASC 842 requires a modified retrospective transition method that could either be applied at the earliest comparative period in the financial statements or in the period of adoption. We elected to use the period of adoption (October 1, 2019) transition method and therefore did not recast prior periods.

F-13


Table of Contents

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease obligations on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our operating leases are primarily for office space, cars, servers, and office equipment. We made an election not to separate lease components from non-lease components for office space, servers and office equipment. We combine fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of our lease assets and liabilities. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, Accrued expenses and Other current liabilities, and Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term as that of the lease payments at the commencement date. The right-of-use assets include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives received. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base non-cancellable lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities.

Certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the lease assets and liabilities. These variable payments include insurance, taxes, consumer price index payments, and payments for maintenance and utilities.

Our operating leases expire at various dates through 2037.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Computer hardware and software are typically amortized over three to five years, and furniture and fixtures over three to eight years.twelve years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the remaining terms of the related leases. Property and equipment under capital leases are amortized over the lesser of the lease termsterm or their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred; additions and improvements are capitalized. When an item is sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is relieved, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income.

Software Development Costs

We incur costs to develop computer software to be licensed or otherwise marketed to customers. Our research and development expenses consist principally of salaries and benefits, costs of computer equipment, and facility expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs of internally developed or externally purchased software that qualify for capitalization. Development costs for software to be sold externally incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, but prior to the general release of the product, are capitalized and, upon general release, are amortized using the greater of either the straight-line method over the expected life of the related products or based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related to such assets are realized. The straight-line method is used if it



approximates the same amount of expense as that calculated using the ratio that current period gross product revenues bear to total anticipated gross product revenues. NaNNo development costs for software to be sold externally were capitalized in 2019, 20182022, 2021 or 2017. In 2018,2020. We purchased software of $6.0 million and $0.6 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, we acquired capitalized software through business combinations (for further detail, see Note 6. Acquisitions and Disposition of $0.8 million.Business). These assets are included in acquired intangibleIntangible assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

F-14


Table of Contents

Business Combinations

We allocate the purchase price of acquisitions to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the purchase price over the value of net identifiable assets acquired. While best estimates and assumptions are used to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Any adjustments to estimated fair value are recorded to goodwill, provided that we are within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) and that we continue to collect information to determine estimated fair value. Subsequent to the measurement period or our final determination of estimated fair value, whichever comes first, adjustments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill, Acquired Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price in a business acquisition exceeds the fair valuesvalue of net identifiable assets on the date of purchase.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually as of the end of the third quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Factors we consider important, on an overall company basis and reportable-segmentsegment 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.

Our annual goodwill impairment test is based on either a quantitative or qualitative (Step 0) orassessment. A quantitative (Step 1) assessment and is designed to determine whether we believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units exceed their carrying values. A Step 0 assessment includes a review of qualitative factors including company specific (financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, and a consideration of the fair value of each reporting unit at the last valuation date. A Step 1 assessment is a quantitative analysis that compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the 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 impliedestimated fair value. We estimate the fair values of our reporting units using discounted cash flow valuation models. Those models require estimates of future revenues, profits, capital expenditures, working capital, terminal values based on revenue multiples, and discount rates for each reporting unit. We estimate these amounts by evaluating historical trends,trends; current budgets and operating plansplans; and industry data.

A qualitative assessment is designed to determine whether we believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units exceed their carrying values. Qualitative assessment includes a review of qualitative factors, including company-specific (financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, and a consideration of the fair value of each reporting unit at the last valuation date.

We completed our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 29,201930, 2022, which consisted of a qualitative assessment of our Software Products segment and a quantitative assessment of our Professional Services segment in conjunction with the sale of a portion of that business to ITC Infotech. 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). Based on our qualitative assessment, we believe it is more likely than not that the fair value of our Software Products reporting unit exceeds its carrying value and no further impairment testing is required. 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 reporting unit using a discounted cash flow valuation model. This model requires estimates of future revenues, profits, capital expenditures, working capital, and a terminal value based on a Step 0 assessmentresidual cash flow valuation model. We estimated this amount by evaluating historical trends, current budgets and concluded thatoperating plans, including consideration of the completed transaction with ITC Infotech. Based on a comparison of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the Professional Services reporting unit as of June 30, 2022, no impairment charge was required asrequired. Through September 30, 2022, there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying values of that date.

goodwill or acquired intangible assets may not be recoverable.

Long-lived assets primarily include property and equipment and acquired intangible assets with finite lives (including purchased software, customer lists and trademarks). Purchased software is amortized over periods up to 1116 years, customer lists are amortized over periods up to 1213 years and trademarks are amortized over periods up to 12 years. We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. An impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset or asset group. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses incurred were $3.6$8.6 million, $2.9$7.1 million and $2.5$3.8 million in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effects of these differences are reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax operating loss and credit carryforwards. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we include an expense within the taxTax provision (benefit) for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)



Comprehensive income (loss) consists of netNet income (loss) and otherOther comprehensive income (loss), which includes foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in unrecognized actuarial gains and losses (net of tax) related to pension benefits, unrealized gains and losses on hedging instruments and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. For the purposes of comprehensive income disclosures, weWe do not record tax provisions or benefits for the net changes in the foreign currency translation adjustment, as we intend to reinvest permanently undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported as a component of stockholders’ equityStockholders’ Equity and, as of September 30, 2019 and 2018,2022, was comprised of the following: cumulative translation adjustment losses of $91.2$160.2 million, and $66.4 million, respectively, unrecognized actuarial losses related to pension benefits of $34.9$5.4 million ($24.8 million net of tax) and $27.0 million ($19.23.9 million net of tax), respectively, unrecognized gain on marketable securitiesand accumulated net gains from net investment hedges of $0.1$16.9 million and unrecognized loss of $0.4 million, respectively. Cash flow hedges were discontinued in 2019 and in 2018 unrecognized gain on cash flow hedging instruments was $0.4 million ($0.410.6 million net of tax). In 2019 we started a net investment hedge program and had accumulated net gainAs of $6.8September 30, 2021, Accumulated other comprehensive loss was comprised of the following: cumulative translation adjustment losses of $67.5 million, unrecognized actuarial losses related to pension benefits of $30.2 million ($5.121.5 million net of tax), and accumulated net losses from net investment hedges of $6.5 million ($6.5 million net of tax).

Earnings (loss) per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options, restricted shares and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. The calculation of the dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards under the treasury stock method includes consideration of proceeds from the assumed exercise of stock options, unrecognized compensation expense and any tax benefits as additional proceeds. Due toAnti-dilutive shares excluded from the net loss generatedcalculations of diluted EPS were immaterial in the yearyears ended September 30, 2019, approximately 1.0 million restricted stock units have been excluded from the computation2022 and 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the compensation cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. See Note 12. Equity Incentive PlanPlans for a description of the types of stock-basedequity awards granted, the compensation expense related to such awards and detail of equity-basedsuch awards outstanding. See Note 8. Income Taxes for detail of the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition
On October 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, which supersedes substantially all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. We adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 was recorded as a reduction to accumulated deficit with no restatement of comparative periods.
The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to evaluate revenue recognition


through a five-step process: (1) identifying a contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

Intangibles—Goodwill and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard also requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In applying the principles of ASC 606, more judgment and estimates are required within the revenue recognition process than is required under previous U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and estimating the value of each performance obligation to allocate the total transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

The most significant impact of ASC 606 relates to accounting for our subscription arrangements that include term-based on-premise software licenses bundled with support. Under previous GAAP (ASC 605, through September 30, 2018), revenue attributable to these subscription licenses was recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement because VSOE does not exist for the undelivered support element as it is not sold separately. Under the new standard, the requirement to have VSOE for undelivered elements to enable the separation of revenue for the delivered software licenses is eliminated. Accordingly, under the new standard we recognize as revenue a portion of the subscription fee upon delivery of the software license. Revenue recognition related to our perpetual licenses and related support contracts, professional services and cloud offerings is substantially unchanged, with support and cloud revenue being recorded ratably over the contract term. Due to the complexity of certain of our contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under the new standard may be dependent on contract-specific terms and, therefore, may vary in some instances.
Certain of our multi-year subscription contracts with start dates on or after October 1, 2018 contain a limited annual cancellation right.  For such cancellable subscription contracts, we consider each annual period a discrete contract.  We recognize the license portion at the beginning of each one-year contract period and the support portion ratably over each one-year contractual period.  Early in the fourth quarter of 2019, we discontinued offering the cancellation right for substantially all new contracts.
Under the modified retrospective method, we evaluated each contract that was ongoing on October 1, 2018 as if that contract had been accounted for under ASC 606 from contract inception. Some license revenue related to subscription arrangements that would have been recognized in future periods under current GAAP was recast under ASC 606 as if the revenue had been recognized in prior periods. Under this transition method, we did not adjust historical reported revenue amounts. Instead, the revenue that would have been recognized under this method prior to the adoption date was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and will not be recognized as revenue in future periods as previously expected. Because license revenue associated with subscription contracts is recognized up front instead of over time under ASC 606, a material portion of our deferred revenue was adjusted to accumulated deficit upon adoption.
Another significant provision under ASC 606 includes the capitalization and amortization of costs associated with obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions. Prior to October 1, 2018, we expensed commissions in the period incurred. Under ASC 606, direct and incremental costs to acquire a contract are capitalized and amortized using a systematic basis over the pattern of transfer of the goods and services to which the asset relates.

Income Taxes
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The purpose of ASU 2016-16 is to simplify the income tax accounting of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory and to record its effect when the transfer occurs. We adopted this standard beginning in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $72.3 million, with a corresponding increase of $75.3 million to deferred tax assets, a $6.0 million decrease to income tax assets and a $3.0 million decrease to income tax liabilities. The adjustment primarily relates to deductible amortization of intangible assets in Ireland.  Post adoption, our effective tax rate no longer includes the benefit of this amortization.
Pension Accounting


In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which provides guidance on the capitalization, presentation and disclosure of net benefit costs related to post-retirement benefit plans. We adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2019 on a full retrospective basis, which resulted in the retrospective reclassification of $0.6 million and $0.9 million of non-service net periodic pension cost for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, from line items within cost of revenue and operating expenses into Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Equity Investments
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities and requires equity securities to be measured at fair value, unless the measurement alternative method has been elected for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. Adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Statement of Cash Flows. Adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will replace the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The updated standard aims to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose important information about leasing arrangements. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 effective October 1, 2019 (the effective date).
Financial information for the comparative periods will not be recast. We intend to elect the available practical expedients, including carrying forward the classification of our existing leases and our assessment of their remaining lease terms. Our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon our adoption of the standard.
ASU 2016-02 will materially increase our total assets and total liabilities that we report relative to such amounts prior to adoption. We expect to recognize operating lease liabilities between $233 million to $238 million and right-of-use assets between $162 million to $167 million. The expected operating lease liabilities are calculated based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments for existing operating leases as of September 30, 2019. The expected right-of-use assets reflect adjustments for derecognition of deferred leasing incentives.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In August 2017,2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-12, "Derivatives2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements toOther—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Hedging Activities"Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. We adopted the new standard prospectively effective October 1, 2020. As a result, we are required to capitalize certain costs related to the implementation of cloud computing arrangements. Capitalized costs related to cloud computing arrangements, which are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $14.3 million and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively,

Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326), which, amendsalong with subsequent amendments, replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effectsrequires consideration of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal 2020) including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods,a broader range of reasonable and early adoption is permitted.supportable information when recording credit loss estimates. We are currently evaluating the impact ofadopted the new guidancestandard effective October 1, 2020, with no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) on Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The decisions reflected in ASU 2019-12 update specific areas of ASC 740, Income Taxes, to reduce complexity while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The new standard became effective for us in the first quarter of 2022 ending December 31, 2021 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) on Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to 1) recognition of an acquired contract asset and liability, and 2) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. We adopted ASU 2021-08 early as of the third quarter of 2022 and applied it to our acquisition of Intland Software, which was completed in the quarter. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 6. Acquisitions and Disposition of Business for additional discussion regarding the accounting for the acquisition of Intland Software.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional guidance for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. We are still evaluating the impact, but do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Upon adoption of ASC 606, we recorded a decrease in accumulated deficit of $432.2 million ($363.2 million, net of tax) due to the cumulative effect of the ASC 606 adoption, with the impact primarily


derived from revenue related to on-premise subscription software licenses, net of tax due to the cumulative effect of the ASC 606 adoption, with an impact from revenue adjustments of $366.8 million primarily derived from acceleration of revenue related to on-premise subscription software licenses. The revenue related adjustment was reflected on the adjusted opening balance sheet as an increase to unbilled receivables of $218.5 million, decrease to deferred revenue of $143.2 million and an increase to other assets of $5.1 million.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

The new revenue recognition standard requires the capitalization of certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which impacts the period in which we record our commission expense. Prior to our adoption of the new revenue standard, we recognized commissions expense as incurred. Under the new revenue recognition standard, we are required to recognize these expenses over the period of benefit associated with these costs. This results in a deferral of certain commission expenses each period. Upon adoption, we reduced our accumulated deficit by $70.0 million and recognized an offsetting asset for deferred commission related to contracts that were not completed prior to October 1, 2018.

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 commissions) are amortized proportionately related to revenue over five5 years, which is generally longer than the term of the initial contract because of anticipated renewals as commissions for renewals are not commensurate with commissions related to our initial contracts. As of September 30, 2019,2022 and September 30, 2021, deferred costs of $27.7$40.7 million and $40.2 million, respectively, were included in otherOther current assets and $64.8$77.0 million and $81.1 million, respectively, were included in other assets (non-current).

Amortization expense related to costs to fulfill contracts has also changed to match this patternobtain a contract with a customer was $50.9 million and $46.7 million in the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were no impairments of recognition.

Transition Disclosures
In accordance with the modified retrospective method transition requirements, we will present the financial statement line items impacted and adjusted to compare to presentation under ASC 605 for each of the interim and annual periods during the first year of adoption of ASC 606.
Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 606 and the issuance of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-months ended December 29, 2018, six-months ended March 30, 2019 and nine-months ended June 29, 2019, PTC’s management identified errors in the application of ASC 606 for the calculation of the decrease in accumulated deficit upon adoption, as well as adoption balances for contract assets and deferred revenue as of October 1, 2018.  The impact to our accumulated deficit was $0.3 million ($4.2 million, net of tax). The identified errors appeared only in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and not in any of the individual Consolidated Financial Statements.  Based on an analysis of the relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, we determined the impact was not material to any prior interim period. Therefore, management concluded that amendments of previously filed reports are not required.
We corrected the errors as of the adoption date by revising the following amounts presented in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: 1) contract assets as of October 1, 2018 has been changed from $26.2 million to $25.0 million; 2) deferred revenue as of October 1, 2018 has been changed from $357.5 million to $356.3 million; 3) the decrease in accumulated deficit has been changed from $431.9 million ($367.4 million, net of tax) to $432.2 million ($363.2 million, net of tax).

The changes in balance sheet accounts due to the adoption of ASC 606 are due primarily to the following:
(1)Up front license recognition under our subscription contracts and billed but uncollected support and subscription receivables that had corresponding deferred revenue, which were included in other current assets prior to our adoption of ASC 606.
(2)Support and subscription receivables previously included in other current assets described in note (1) above, offset by contract assets and capitalized commission costs. Under ASC 605, unearned billed deferred revenue, which is not yet paid is included in other current assets. Billed, but uncollected support and subscription amounts included in other current assets as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $185.7 million and $153.6 million, respectively.
(3)The tax effect of the accumulated deficit impact related to the acceleration of revenue and deferral of costs (primarily commissions).
(4)The long-term portion of unbilled receivables due to the acceleration of license revenue on multi-year subscription contracts and the long-term portion of capitalized commission costs.
(5) Refund liability, primarily associated with the annual right to exchange on-premise subscription software described above in Judgments and Estimates.


(6) The decrease in deferred revenue recorded to accumulated deficit upon adoption of ASC 606 primarily related to on-premise subscription software licenses.

(1)The reduction in license revenue and increase in support revenue is a result of the support component of subscription licenses which is included in license revenue under ASC 605. For the year ended September 30, 2019, license revenue decreased by approximately $215.0 million as a result of the revenue recorded to accumulated deficit. This was partially offset by approximately $153.5 million as a result of revenue recognized in future fiscal periods.
(2) Cost of revenue under ASC 606 is higher than under ASC 605 due to the treatment of deferred professional services costs under the new accounting guidance, partially offset by the timing of revenue recognition under ASC 606 resulting in lower associated royalty costs.
(3) Sales and marketing costs are lower under ASC 606 due to the amortization of commissions costs capitalized upon adoption of ASC 606, offset by the deferral of ongoing commission expenses under the new accounting guidance.
(4) The benefit for income taxes under ASC 606 includes indirect effects of the adoption.

In determining the amount of the facilities accrual, we are required to estimate such factors as future vacancy rates, the time required to sublet properties and sublease rates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly based on known real estate market conditions and the credit-worthiness of subtenants and may result in revisions to established facility reserves. The accrual is based on the net present value of remaining lease commitments net of estimated sublease income. We had $30.8 million accrued as of September 30, 2019 related to excess facilities (compared to $2.4 million at September 30, 2018),

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 is considered preliminary, and additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period as the company receives additional information relevant to the acquisition related to the finalization of working capital adjustments to the purchase price and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

7. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

In 2017, we had 3

We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Solutions Group, (2) IoT Group and (3) Professional Services. Effective with the beginning of the first quarter of 2018, we changed our operating and reportable segments from 3 to 2: (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 September 30, 2019,2022, 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 $1,362.4 million and $45.7 million, respectively.$11.2 million. As of September 30, 2018,2021, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our Software Products segment was $2,525.7 million and attributable to our Professional Services segment was $1,352.4 million and $30.2 million, respectively.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value$45.2 million.

Table of the reporting segment below its carrying value. We completed our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 30, 2019 and concluded that no impairment charge was required as of that date. We completed our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 29, 2019 based on a qualitative assessment. Our qualitative assessment included company specific (financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, and consideration of the fair value of each reporting unit relative to its carrying value at July 2, 2016, the last valuation date. Based on our qualitative assessment, we believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units exceed their carrying values and no further impairment testing is required. Through September 30, 2019, there have not been any triggering events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangible assets may not be recoverable.

In 2019,2022, 2021, and 2020, our effective tax rate is impacted by 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 2022, 2021, and 2020, the foreign rate differential predominantly relates to these earnings. In addition to the foreign rate differential, our tax rate is higher thandiffered from the U.S. statutory federal income tax due to the net effects of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) and Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) regimes (together referred to as U.S. Tax reform), and the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.

Additionally in 2022, our results include tax expense relating to the book over tax basis difference in goodwill disposed of as part of the sale of a portion of the PLM services business. As a result of the net effect of these items in 2022, our effective tax rate did not differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate.

In 2021, our tax rate includes a benefit due to the release of 21% due in large part,the valuation allowance on the majority of our U.S. net deferred tax assets.

In 2020, we recorded benefits for the reduction of the U.S. valuation allowance as a result of the Onshape acquisition. A further reduction to the valuation allowance was also recorded to reflect the impact from the scheduling of the reversal of existing temporary differences resulting in deferred tax liabilities that cannot be offset against deferred tax assets requiring an increase to the U.S. valuation allowance, U.S. tax reform (as described below) and foreign withholding taxes, an obligationassets.

F-25


Table of the U.S. parent. This is offset by our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate, the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation and the indirect effects of the adoption of ASC 606. A significant amount of our foreign earnings is generated by our subsidiaries organized in Ireland. In 2019 the foreign rate differential predominantly relates to these Irish earnings.

In 2018, our effective tax rate was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate due to U.S. tax


reform, as described below. In 2018, and 2017, our effective tax rate was materially impacted by our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at an effective tax rate lower than the U.S. A significant amount of our foreign earnings is generated by our subsidiaries organized in Ireland. In 2018 and 2017, the foreign rate differential predominantly relates to these Irish earnings. Additionally, we have a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the U.S., primarily related to net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards, capitalized research and development and deferred revenue. As a result, we have not recorded a benefit related to ongoing U.S. losses. Our foreign rate differential in 2018, and 2017 includes the continuing rate benefit from a business realignment completed on September 30, 2014 in which intellectual property was transferred between two wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. The realignment allows us to more efficiently manage the distribution of our products to European customers. In 2018, this realignment resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $24 million and in 2017, a benefit of approximately $28 million. In 2017, the change in valuation allowance primarily relates to U.S. losses not benefited, partially offset by the release of valuation allowances in foreign subsidiaries of $9.0 million. We recorded foreign withholding taxes, an obligation of the U.S. parent of $2.7 million in 2018 and $2.0 million in 2017.
On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the "Tax Act"), which significantly changed existing U.S. tax laws by a reduction of the corporate tax rate, the implementation of a new system of taxation for non-U.S. earnings, the imposition of a one-time tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, and the expansion of the limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation and interest expense. As we have a September 30 fiscal year-end, a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 24.5% applies for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. The Tax Act also provides that net operating losses generated in years ending after December 31, 2017 (our fiscal 2018) will be carried forward indefinitely and can no longer be carried back, and that net operating losses generated in years beginning after December 31, 2017 can only reduce taxable income by up to 80% when utilized in a future period. The Tax Act includes a provision to tax global intangible low-tax income (GILTI) of foreign subsidiaries, a deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII), and the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT) measure that taxes certain payments between a U.S. corporation and its foreign subsidiaries. The GILTI, FDII and BEAT provisions were effective for us beginning October 1, 2018. Our accounting policy is to treat tax on GILTI as a current period cost included in tax expense in the year incurred.
In 2018, we provided no federal income taxes payable as a result of the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings as the tax was offset by a combination of current year losses and existing attributes which had a full valuation allowance recorded against the related deferred tax assets. In 2018, we recorded a state income taxes payable on the deemed repatriation of $1.7 million. We also recorded a deferred tax benefit of $14.1 million for the impact of the Tax Act on our net U.S. deferred income tax balances. This was primarily attributable to the reduction of the federal tax rate on the net deferred tax liability in the U.S., and the ability to realize net operating losses from the reversal of existing deferred tax assets which can now be carried forward indefinitely and can therefore be netted against deferred tax liabilities for indefinite lived intangible assets.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued rules that allow for a period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. We finalized recording the impacts of the Tax Act in the quarter ended December 29, 2018 and did not record any significant adjustments.

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The purpose of ASU 2016-16 is to simplify the income tax accounting of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory and to record its effect when the transfer occurs. We adopted this standard beginning in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective method with a cumulate effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $72.3 million, with a corresponding increase of $75.3 million to deferred tax assets, a $6.0 million decrease to income tax assets and a $3.0 million decrease to income tax liabilities. The adjustment primarily relates to deductible amortization of intangible assets in Ireland. Post adoption, our effective tax rate no longer includes the benefit of this amortization.
We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that a full valuation allowance continues to be required against our U.S. net deferred tax assets as they are not more likely than not to be realized in the future. We will continue to reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period. However,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 September 30, 2021, we believeconcluded that there is a reasonable possibilityit was more likely than not that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certainour deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal and a decrease tostate income tax expense forwould be realizable, and therefore, the periodU.S. federal and the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amountmajority of the state valuation allowance release are subjectallowances were released, which resulted in non-cash federal and state tax benefits of $109.4 million and $24.8 million, respectively, to changeearnings in 2021. That determination was based, in part, on the basisCompany’s cumulative profits before tax and permanent differences from the past three years, which became profitable during 2021, and projections of the level of profitability thatprofits before tax and permanent differences in future years. In 2022, we are ablecontinue to actually achieve.
maintain this conclusion.

For U.S. tax return purposes, net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and tax credits are generally available to be carried forward to future years, subject to certain limitations. At September 30, 2019,2022, we had U.S. federal tax effected NOL carryforwards from acquisitions of $8.8$22.5 million, thatof which $1.6 million expire in 2023 to 2029.2034. The



utilization remaining carryforwards of $20.9 million do not expire. The use of these NOL carryforwards is limited as a result of the change in ownership rules under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

As of September 30, 2019,2022, we had Federalfederal R&D credit carryforwards of $26.2$60.9 million, which expire beginning in 20282025 and ending in 2039,2042, and Massachusetts R&D credit carryforwards of $22.1$26.1 million, which expire beginning in 20202023 and ending in 2034. A full valuation allowance is recorded against the carryforwards.

2037. We also had foreign tax credits of $14.5 million, which expire beginning in 2027 and ending in 2032.

We also have tax effected NOL carryforwards in non-U.S. jurisdictions totaling $64.4$7.2 million, the majority of which do not expire, and non-U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $3.2$4.0 million that expire beginning in 20292030 and ending in 2035.2041. Additionally, we have interest andtax effected amortization carryforwards of $86.9$118.5 million and $825.9 million, respectively, in a foreign jurisdiction. There are limitations imposed on the utilizationuse of such attributes that could restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

As of September 30, 2019,2022, we have a valuation allowance of $146.1$17.8 million against net deferred tax assets in the U.S.United States and a valuation allowance of $31.6$4.5 million against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. The $17.8 million U.S. valuation allowance relates to Massachusetts tax credit carryforwards which we do not expect to realize a benefit from prior to expiration. The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions is established primarily for our net operatingcapital loss carryforwards, the majority of which do not expire. However, there are limitations imposed on the utilization of such net operatingcapital losses that could restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

The changes to the valuation allowance were primarily due to the following:

In 2022, this change included the loss of foreign attributes upon liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. In 2021, this change includes the loss of state attributes upon merger of two wholly-owned subsidiaries. In 2020, this change is largely attributed to the Onshape acquisition, the adoption of ASC 842 and the impact to the change in scheduling of the reversal of existing temporary differences.
(1)In 2019, 2018 and 2017, this is attributable to the release in foreign jurisdictions.
(2)In 2019, this is due in large part to a change in method of accounting for federal income tax purposes resulting in deferred tax liabilities that cannot be offset against available tax attributes in the scheduling of the reversal of existing temporary differences, and by the adoption of ASC606. In 2018, this is primarily attributable to U.S. tax reform: the utilization of tax attributes used to offset the transition tax, the revaluation of the U.S. net deferred tax assets and liabilities, the ability to realize net operating losses from the reversal of existing deferred tax assets which can now be carried forward indefinitely and can therefore be netted against deferred tax liabilities for indefinite lived intangible.

Our policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of our income tax provision. In 20192022, 2021 and 2020 we recorded interest expense of $0.1$0.2 million, $2.2 million and in 2018 and 2017, we reduced interest expense by $0.6 million and $0.9$0.3 million, respectively. In 2019, 20182022 and 2017,2020 we had 0no penalty expenses in our income tax provision. In 2021 we had $2.0 million tax penalty expense in our income tax provision. As of both September 30, 20192022 and 2018,2021, we had accrued $0.5$0.9 million and $0.7 million of net estimated interest expense, related to income tax accruals.respectively. We had 0no accrued tax penalties as of September 30, 2019, 20182022, 2021 or 2017.2020.

If all of our unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 20192022 were to become recognizable in the future, we would record a benefit to the income tax provision of $11.5$23.9 million (which would be partially offset by an increase in the U.S. valuation allowance of $5.4 $5.2million). 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 $0.5$5 million as audits close and statutes of limitations expire.

Our results for the fourth quarteryear ended September 30, 2021 include a charge of 2016, we received an assessment$37.3 million related to the effects of a tax matter in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) of $34.4 million, and the resulting impact on U.S. income taxes of $2.9 million, and additional payments of approximately $12$20 million from the tax authoritiesto South Korea in Korea.  The assessment relates to various tax issues, primarily foreign withholding taxes. We have appealed and intend to vigorously defend our positions. We believe that upon completion of a multi-level appeal process it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained.  Accordingly, we have not recorded a tax reserve for this matter. We paid this assessment in the first quarter of 2017 and have recorded the amount in other assets, pending resolutionsettlement of the appeal process. If the South Korean tax authorities were to prevail the potential additional exposure through 2019 would be approximately $13 million.

amounts previously accrued.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the IRS in the U.S.United States. 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. Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in material changes in our estimates. As of September 30, 2019,2022, we remained subject to examination in the following major tax jurisdictions for the tax years indicated:

Additionally, net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards from certain earlier periods in these jurisdictions may be subject to examination to the extent they are utilizedused in later periods.

We incurred expenses related to stock-based compensation in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 20172020 of $86.4$174.9 million, $82.9$177.3 million and $76.7$115.1 million, respectively. Accounting for the tax effects of stock-based awards requires that we establish a deferred tax asset as the compensation is recognized for financial reporting prior to recognizing the tax deductions. The tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to stock-based compensation totaled $16.6$27.1 million, $28.3$39.9 million and $1.3$13.4 million in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively. Upon the settlementvesting of the stock-based awards, (i.e., exercise or vesting), the actual tax deduction is compared with the cumulative financial reporting compensation cost and any excess tax deduction is considered a windfall tax benefit and is recorded to the tax provision. In 20192022, 2021 and 2018,2020, net windfall tax benefits of $6.7$5.2 million, $9.9 million and $13.2$1.3 million were recorded to the tax provision. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, windfall tax benefits were recorded to APIC when they resulted in a reduction in taxes payable. In 2017 we recorded windfall tax benefits of $0.6 million to APIC. 

In the first quarter of 2018, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, we recognized previously unrecognized tax benefits of $37.0 million as increases in deferred tax assets for tax loss carryovers and tax credits, primarily in the U.S. A corresponding increase to the valuation allowance of $36.9 million was recorded to the extent that it was not more likely than not that these benefits would be realized.
In July 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The opinion invalidated part of a treasury regulation requiring stock-based compensation to be included in any qualified intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The Company previously recorded a tax benefit based on the opinion in the case, which was offset by a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets. On June 7, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the U.S. Tax Court’s decision. On July 22, 2019, Altera Corp. filed a petition for an en banc rehearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which was denied on November


12, 2019.  Altera Corp. has 90 days from this date to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the decision. Due to the fact that the Altera decision is not yet final, as well as uncertainty surrounding the status of the current regulations and questions related to jurisdiction given the Company does not reside in the Ninth Circuit, we have determined no adjustment is required to the consolidated financial statements as a result of this ruling. The Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to its consolidated financial statements.

Prior to the passage of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act the Companyin December of 2017 (the Tax Act), we asserted that substantially all of the undistributed earnings of itsour foreign subsidiaries were considered indefinitely investedreinvested and accordingly, no deferred taxes were provided. Pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. Tax Act, these earnings were subjected to U.S. federal taxation via a one-time transition tax, and there is therefore no longer a material cumulative basis difference associated with the undistributed earnings. We maintain our assertion of our intention to permanently reinvest these earnings outside the U.S.United States unless repatriation can be done substantially tax-free, with the exception of a foreign holding company formed in 2018 and our Taiwan subsidiary. If we decide to repatriate any additional non-U.S. earnings in the future, we may be required to establish a deferred tax liability on such earnings. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on the undistributed earnings would not be material.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In May 2016,February 2020, we issued $500$500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0%4.0% senior, unsecured long-term debt at par value, due in 2024. We used2028 (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 September 30, 2022, the net proceeds from the saletotal estimated fair value of the 2028 and 2025 senior notes to repay a portionwas approximately $436.3 million and $468.7 million respectively, based on quoted prices for the notes on that date.

We were in compliance with all the covenants for all of our outstanding revolving loan under our current credit facility. senior notes as of September 30, 2022.

Terms of the 2028 and 2025 Notes

Interest on the 2028 and 2025 notes is payable semi-annually on NovemberFebruary 15 and MayAugust 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 were in compliance with all of the covenants as of September 30, 2019.

We may, on one or more occasions, redeem the senior2028 and 2025 notes at any time in whole or from time to time 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 senior notes at a purchase price equal to 101%101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Our ability to repurchase the senior notes inupon such event may be limited by law, by the indenture associated with the senior 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 senior 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.

As of September 30, 2019, the total estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $526.3 million, which is based on quoted prices

PTC and certain eligible foreign subsidiaries are eligible borrowers under the credit facility. Any borrowings by PTC Inc. under the credit facility would be guaranteed by PTC Inc.’s material domestic subsidiaries that become parties to the subsidiary guaranty, if any. As of the filing of this Form 10-K, there are no subsidiary guarantors of the obligations under the credit facility. Any borrowings by eligible foreign subsidiary borrowers would be guaranteed by PTC Inc. and any subsidiary guarantors. As of the filing of this Form 10-K, 0no funds were borrowed by an eligible foreign subsidiary borrower. In addition, owned property (including equity interests) of PTC and certain of its material domestic subsidiaries' owned property is subject to first priority perfected liens in favor of the lenders under this credit facility. 100%100% of the voting equity interests of certain of PTC’s domestic subsidiaries and 65%65% of its material first-tier foreign subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for the obligations under the credit facility.

Loans under the credit facility bear 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 September 30, 2019,2022, the annual rate for borrowingborrowings outstanding was 3.44%4.14%. Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility range from 1.25%1.25% to 1.75%1.75% above an adjusted LIBO rate (or an agreed successor rate) for Euro currency borrowings or would range from 0.25%0.25% to 0.75%0.75% above the defined base rate (the greater of the Prime Rate, the NYFRB rate plus 0.5%0.5%, or an adjusted LIBO rate plus 1%1%) for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon PTC’s total leverage ratio. Additionally, PTC may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest rates for those currencies, based on PTC’s total leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility is required, ranging from 0.175%0.175% to 0.30%0.30% per annum, based upon PTC’s total leverage ratio.

The credit facility limits PTC’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends (other than to PTC) and make other distributions; make investments and enter into joint ventures; dispose of assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates, except on an arms-length basis. Under the credit facility, PTC and its material domestic subsidiaries may not invest cash or property in, or loan to, PTC’s foreign subsidiaries in aggregate amounts exceeding $100$100 million for any purpose and an additional $200$200 million for acquisitions of businesses. In addition, under the credit facility, PTC and its subsidiaries must 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.

Any failure to comply with the financial or operating covenants of the credit facility would prevent PTC from being able to borrow additional funds, and would constitute a default, permitting the lenders to, among other things, accelerate the amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, under the credit facility and to terminate the credit facility. A change in control of PTC, as defined in the agreement, also constitutes an event of default, permitting the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the credit facility.

We

In 2020, we incurred $2.9$2.0 million in financing costs in connection with the September 2018February 2020 credit facility and $1.0 million in connection with a November 2019 amendment and restatement.to our prior credit facility. These origination costs are recorded as deferred debt issuance costs and are included in otherOther assets. We incurred $6.9 million in financing costs in connection with the Senior Notes in 2016. These origination costs are recorded as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Financing costs are expensed over the remaining term of the obligations.



In 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, we paid $40.8incurred interest expense of $54.3 million, $39.8$50.5 million, and $38.9$76.4 million, respectively, and paid $48.5 million, $45.2 million and $60.6 million, respectively, of interest on our debt. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2020, we paid $15.0 million in penalties for the early redemption of the 2024 notes. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding during 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 20172020 was approximately 5.4%3.4%, 5.2%3.3% and 4.9%4.3%, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Leasing Arrangements
We lease office facilities under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2037. Certain leases require us to pay for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses in addition to rent. Lease expense was $39.3 million, $36.9 million and $35.8 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2019, our future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases are as follows (in thousands): 
Year ending September 30, 
2020$31,868
202133,094
202225,624
202319,279
202416,909
Thereafter186,037
Total minimum lease payments$312,811


Amounts above include future minimum lease payments for our corporate headquarters facility located in Boston, Massachusetts. On September 7, 2017, we entered into a lease agreement with SCD L2 Seaport Square LLC for approximately 250,000 square feet located at 121 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts. Upon completion of construction of the new facility, we moved our headquarters from Needham to Boston. The term of the lease runs from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2037. Base rent for the first year of the lease is $11.0 million and will increase by $1 per square foot leased per year thereafter ($0.3 million per year). Base rent, which first becomes payable on July 1, 2020 is included in the operating lease obligations above. In addition to the base rent, PTC is required to pay its pro rata portions of building operating costs and real estate taxes (together, “Additional Rent”). Additional rent, equal to approximately 63% of total building operating costs and real estate taxes, is estimated to be approximately $7.1 million for the first year we begin paying rent and is not included in the operating lease payments above. The lease provides for up to approximately $25 million in landlord funding for leasehold improvements ($100 per square foot). We capitalized these leasehold improvements as the assets were placed in service and amortized them to expense over the shorter of the lease term or their expected useful life. The $25 million of funding by the landlord is not included in the table above and reduces rent expense over the lease term.
As of September 30, 20192022 and 2018,2021, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of $15.1$15.0 million (of which $1.1$0.5 million was collateralized) and $15.5$16.3 million (of which $1.1$0.5 million was collateralized), respectively, primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

Korean Tax Audit

In July 2016, we received an assessment from the tax authorities in Korea related to an ongoing tax audit of approximately $12 million. We estimate potential additional exposure of $13 million through 2019. See Note 8. Income Taxes for additional information.

Legal Proceedings
We are subject

With respect to various legal proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is probable that arisea 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. The settlement amount will be funded by PTC’s insurer and paid into the Qualified Settlement Fund for the benefit of the class members.

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. WeAs of September 30, 2022, we estimate that the range of possible outcomes for such matters is immaterial and we do not believe that resolving the legal proceedings and claims that we are currently subject tothem 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 particular reporting period could be adversely affected.

Accruals

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

We enter into standard indemnification agreements with our customers and business partners in the ordinary course of our business. Pursuant toUnder such agreements, with our business partners or customers, we typically indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our products, as well asproducts. Indemnification may also cover other types of claims, including claims relating to certain data breaches. Except for intellectual property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us orinfringement indemnification, these agreements typically limit our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be requiredliability with respect to make under theseother indemnification agreements is unlimited.claims. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and, accordingly, we accordingly 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 in effect atduring the time of deliveryterm of the licensed products for a specified period of time.license/subscription. Additionally, we generally warrant that our consulting services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards.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.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

We may issue up to 5.0 million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series. 0.5 million of these shares are designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors is authorized to fix the rights and terms for any series of preferred stock without additional shareholder approval.

Common Stock

Our Articles of Organization authorize us to issue up to 500 million shares of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $1,500 million$1 billion of our common stock forin the period October 1, 20172020 through September 30, 2020 period.2023. We use cash from operations and borrowings under our credit facility to make such repurchases. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued.

In 2019,2022 and 2021 we repurchased 1.41.05 million shares for $115 million. In addition, in 2019 and 2018, we repurchased 3.0$125 million and 8.2 million shares, respectively, under an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement. On July 20, 2018, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a major financial institution (“Bank”). The ASR allowed us to buy a large number of shares immediately at a purchase price determined by an average market price over a period of time. Under the ASR, we agreed to purchase $1 billion of our common stock, in total, with an initial delivery to us in July 2018 of 8.2 million shares (“Initial Shares”), which represented the number of shares at the current market price equal to 80% of the total fixed purchase price of $1 billion. The remainder of the total purchase price of $200 million reflected the value of the stock held by the Bank pending final settlement and, accordingly, was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in 2018. In addition, we initiated and completed an ASR repurchase of 1.20.23 million shares for $100$30 million, respectively. We did not repurchase any shares in the third quarter of 2018. In 2017, we repurchased 0.9 million shares at cost of $51.0 million.2020.

As part of a strategic alliance, in the fourth quarter of 2018, Rockwell Automation made a $1 billion equity investment in PTC, by acquiring 10,582,010 shares at a price of $94.50 per share.

12. Equity Incentive Plans

We have two equity incentive plans – our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan

and our 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

Our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) provides for grants of nonqualified and incentive stock options, common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors, officers and consultants. We award restricted stock units (RSUs) as the principal equity incentive



awards, including certain performance-based awards that are earned based on achieving performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors on or prior to the grant date. Each restricted stock unitRSU represents the contingent right to receive 1one share of our common stock.

Our ESPP initiated in the fourth quarter of 2016, allows eligible employees to contribute up to 10%10% of their base salary, up to a maximum of $25,000$25,000 per year and subject to any other plan limitations, toward the purchase of our common stock at a discounted price. The purchase price of the shares on each purchase date is equal to 85%85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock on the first and last trading days of each offering period. The ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. We estimate the fair value of each purchase right under the ESPP on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and use the straight-line attribution approach to record the expense over the six-month offering period.

2000 Equity Incentive Plan Accounting and Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The fair value of RSUs granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was based on the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant for service- and certain performance- based RSUs and based on a Monte Carlo simulation model for relative total shareholder return (rTSR) performance RSUs. The weighted average fair value per share of RSUs granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $114.31, $111.48 and $77.57, respectively.

We account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures.

As of September 30, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs expected to vest was approximately $201.5 million and the weighted average remaining recognition period for unvested RSUs was 17 months.

As of September 30, 2022, 2.8 million shares of common stock were available for grant under the equity incentive plan and 2.8 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon vesting of RSUs granted and outstanding.

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, 2024. The RSUs earned will vest on November 15, 2024. 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 152 RSUs) may vest. If the return to PTC shareholders is negative for the period but still meets or exceeds the peer group indexed return, a maximum of 100% of the rTSR RSUs may vest.

As of September 30, 2022, weighted average remaining vesting term for outstanding awards is 1.0 year.

The weighted-average fair value of the rTSR RSUs was $136.43per target RSU on the grant date. The fair value of the rTSR RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, a generally accepted statistical technique used to simulate a range of possible future stock prices for PTC and the peer group. The method uses a risk-neutral framework to model future stock price movements based upon the risk-free rate of return, the historical volatility of each entity, and the pairwise correlations of each entity being modeled. The fair value for each simulation is the product of the payout percentage determined by PTC’s rTSR rank against the peer group, the projected price of PTC stock, and a discount factor based on the risk-free rate.

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

13. Employee Benefit Plan

We offer a savings plan to eligible U.S. employees. The plan is intended to qualifyqualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation, as defined, but not more than statutory limits. We contribute 50%50% of the amount contributed by the employee, up to a maximum of 3%3% of the employee’s earnings. Our matching contributions vest at a rate of 25% per year of service, with full vesting after 4 years of service.immediately.

14. Pension Plans

We maintain several international defined benefit pension plans primarily covering certain employees of Computervision, which we acquired in 1998, and CoCreate, which we acquired in 2008, and covering employees in Japan. Benefits are based upon length of service and average compensation with vesting after onetofiveyears of service. The pension cost was actuarially computed using assumptions applicable to each subsidiary plan and economic environment. We adjust our pension liability related to our plans due to changes in actuarial assumptions and performance of plan investments, as shown below. Effective in 1998, benefits under one of the international plans were frozen indefinitely.

The following table presents the actuarial assumptions used in accounting for the pension plans:

In selecting the expected long-term rate of return on assets, we considered the current investment portfolio, and the investment return goals in the plans’ investment policy statements. We, with input from the plans’ professional investment managers and actuaries, also considered the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. This process included determining expected returns for the various asset classes that comprise the plans’ target asset


allocation. This basis for selecting the long-term asset return assumptions is consistent with the prior year. Using generally accepted diversification techniques, the plans’ assets, in aggregate and at the individual portfolio level, are invested so that the total portfolio risk exposure and risk-adjusted returns best meet the plans’ long-term liabilities to employees. Plan asset allocations are reviewed periodically and rebalanced to achieve target allocation among the asset categories when necessary.
As of September 30, 2019, the The discount rate is based on yield curves for highly rated corporate fixed income securities matched against cash flows for each future year.

The weighted long-term rate of return assumption, is 5.4%. These rates of return, together with the assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of September 30, 20192022 in the table above, will be used to determine our 20202023 net periodic pension cost,income, which we expect to be approximately $1.9$0.4 million.

As of September 30, 2022, the weighted average interest crediting rate used in our only cash balance pension plan is 4.1%.

All non-service net periodic pension costs are presented in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The actuarially computed components of net periodic pension cost recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for each year are shown below:

We periodically review the pension plans’ investments in the various asset classes. For the CoCreate plan in Germany, assets are actively allocated between equity and fixed income securities to achieve target return. For the other international plans, assets are allocated 100%100% to fixed income securities. The fixed income securities for the other international plans primarily include investments held with insurance companies with fixed returns. The plans’ investment managers are provided specific guidelines under which they are to invest the assets assigned to them. In general, investment managers are expected to remain fully invested in their asset class with further limitations on risk as related to investments in a single security, portfolio turnover and credit quality.

The German CoCreate plan's investment policy prohibits the use of derivatives associated with leverage and speculation or investments in securities issued by PTC, except through index-related strategies and/or commingled funds. An investment committee oversees management of the pension plans’ assets. Plan assets consist primarily of investments in mutual funds invested in equity and fixed income securities.

In 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 20172020 our actual return on plan assets was $3.5$2.3 million, $1.0$7.4 million and $6.3$(3.0) million, respectively.

Based on actuarial valuations and additional voluntary contributions, we contributed $2.6$3.0 million, $2.5$3.0 million and $2.0$2.6 million in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively, to the plans.

We expect to pay $3.1 million in contributions in 2023, of which $0.6 million will be paid directly to the plans.

As of September 30, 2019,2022, benefit payments expected to be paid over the next ten years are outlined in the following table:as follows:

Fair Value of Plan Assets

The International Planinternational plan assets are comprised primarily of investments in a trust and an insurance company. The underlying investments in the trust are primarily publicly-traded European DJ EuroStoxx50 equities and European governmental fixed income securities. They are classified as Level 1 because the underlying units of the trust are traded in open public markets. The fair value of the underlying investments in equity securities and fixed income are based upon publicly-traded exchange prices.

15. Fair Value Measurements

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.

Certificates of deposit, commercial paper and certain U.S. government agency securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These instruments are valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or based on other observable inputs consisting of market yields, reported trades and broker/dealer quotes.

The principal market in which we execute our foreign currency forward contracts is the institutional market in an over-the-counter environment with a relatively high level of price transparency. The market participants usually are usually large financial institutions. Our foreign currency forward contracts’ 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.

The fair value of our contingent consideration arrangements is determined based on our evaluation as to the probability and amount of any earn-out that will be achieved based on expected future performances by the acquired entities. These arrangements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 20192022 and 20182021 were as follows:

18. Segment and Geographic Information

We operate within a single industry segment -- 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 President and Chief Executive Officer. We have 2two 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 or report asset information by reportable segment; therefore, it is not reported.

On November 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 (the Boston lease). The Boston lease is for approximately 250,000 square feet and runs through June 30, 2037. Base rent for the first year of the lease was $11.0 million and increases by $1 per square foot per year thereafter ($0.3 million per year). Base rent first became payable on July 1, 2020. In addition to the base rent, we are required to pay our pro rata portions of building operating costs and real estate taxes (together, “Additional Rent”). Annual Additional Rent is estimated to be approximately $7.1 million. The lease provides for $25 million in landlord funding for leasehold improvements ($100 per square foot). The leasehold improvement funding provision was fully utilized by us and was reflected as a derecognition adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

In February 2019, we acquired Onshape, creatorssubleased a portion of the first Software as a Service (SaaS) product development platform that unites robust CAD with powerful data managementBoston location through June 30, 2022, and collaboration tools, forreceived approximately $470$9.1 million netin sublease income over the term of cash acquired. 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 acquisition is expected to accelerate our ability to attract new customers with a SaaS-based product offering and positioncomponents of lease cost reflected in the company to capitalize on an industry transition to SaaS.

Borrowings and Credit Facility
We borrowed $455 million under our existing credit facility to acquire Onshape, bringing our total outstanding indebtedness to approximately $1.1 billion. Subsequently, we amended the credit facility to increase the revolving loan commitment from $700 million to $1 billion and make other administrative amendments.
Equity Grants
In November 2019, we granted shares valued at approximately $16.8 million to our employees, including our executives ($3.3 million), in payment of amounts earned under our annual Corporate Incentive Plan.
In November 2019, we granted time-based restricted stock units (RSUs) valued at approximately $49.2 million to employees. The time-based RSUs will generally vest in three substantially equal annual installments on November 15, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
