C. Richard Harrison, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, “Q3 was another solid quarter for PTC with total revenue up 7% year-over-year and license revenue up 37%. Our revenue performance was above the high-end of our expectations, driven primarily by continued strength of our PLM business.” On a constant currency basis total Q3 revenue was up 8% and license revenue was up 39% compared to the year ago period.

“Our PLM license revenue in Q3 was $36.5 million, up 63% year-over-year, continuing to highlight our leadership position in a large and growing segment of the enterprise software market,” continued Harrison. “Our pipeline for new business opportunities with new and existing customers remains strong. During the quarter we recognized revenue from leading organizations such as BAE, Compal Electronics, Continental AG, Fresenius Medical Care, Harman Becker, Kuhn, Lenovo, NASA, Samsung, and the United States Navy.”

James Heppelmann, president and chief operating officer added, “Our continued revenue momentum in the PLM market is further bolstered by an additional 2 ‘domino’ account wins during Q3. Since 2009, we have won 15 strategically important domino accounts, all of which are large multinational companies who have chosen to standardize their PLM initiatives on our Windchill platform. Dominoes represent the largest of the many competitive displacement opportunities we are pursuing, and we believe they are a clear indicator of our momentum in the PLM market. They also demonstrate that PTC is gaining share and becoming recognized as the industry leader for both our technology and product development process expertise. We are further engaged in more than 250 other opportunities world-wide with companies that are looking to replace their existing PLM solution to help improve their competitive position in their own markets.”

“We are very optimistic about the long-term opportunity for PTC and are committed to achieving our goal of a 20% non-GAAP EPS CAGR over the next 5 years,” continued Heppelmann. “Based on the market momentum we are seeing, the strength of our pipeline and our increased sales capacity, we continue to be excited about our FY’11 growth opportunity. We will provide formal FY’11 guidance when we issue our Q4 results in October.”

Neil Moses, chief financial officer, commented, “In addition to strong license revenue performance in Q3, our maintenance and services revenue were essentially flat on a year-over-year basis, indicating that the impact of the soft license sales in 2009 is bottoming. We also saw modest license growth in both our CAD and SMB businesses, which we view as a sign of recovery in those markets. Our balance sheet remains solid with $219 million of cash. During Q3 we repurchased $15 million worth of our stock and repaid the remaining outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility.”

full-year revenue target of $1 billion and non-GAAP EPS target of $1.00,” continued Moses. “We have raised our currency assumption from $1.20 USD/EURO to $1.25 USD/EURO, which positively impacts revenue by approximately $3 million and negatively impacts expense by approximately $1 million for Q4’10. We are maintaining our full year license revenue growth expectations of 35% to 40% year over year, with our combined maintenance and services businesses expected to be down modestly on a year-over-year basis.”

“For Q4 we are initiating guidance of $255 to $265 million in revenue with non-GAAP EPS of $0.30 to $0.32,” Moses added. “We are expecting approximately 20% year-over-year growth in our license revenue in Q4, with our combined services and maintenance businesses essentially flat resulting in 5% year-over-year growth in total revenue.” The Q4 GAAP EPS target is $0.20 - $0.22.

The Q4 guidance assumes a non-GAAP tax rate of 25%, a GAAP tax rate of 17% and 120 million diluted shares outstanding. The Q4 non-GAAP guidance excludes approximately $11 million of stock-based compensation expense, $8 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense and $6 million of related income tax effects.

PTC provides non-GAAP supplemental information to its financial results. Non-GAAP operating expenses, margin and EPS exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development expense, restructuring charges, and the related tax effects of the preceding items and any one-time tax items. We use these non-GAAP 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 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 measures affords investors a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to the results of peer companies. In addition, compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. However, non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on PTC’s financial results. Management uses, and investors should consider, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.

Statements in this press release that are not historic facts, including statements about our fiscal 2010 and other future financial and growth expectations, anticipated tax rates, the expected impact of our planned strategic investments on our future growth, and the long-term prospects for the PLM segment of the enterprise software market are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include the possibility that customers may not purchase our solutions when or at the rates we expect, the possibility the foreign currency exchange rates may vary from our expectations and thereby affect our reported revenue and expense, the possibility that we may not achieve the license growth rates that we expect, which could result in a different mix of revenue between license, service and maintenance and could impact our EPS results, the possibility that strategic customer wins may not generate the revenue we expect, the possibility that we will experience a shortfall in revenue that causes us to decrease or eliminate planned strategic investments in our business or planned share repurchases, and the possibility that any strategic investments that we do make may not have the effects that we expect. In addition, our assumptions concerning our future GAAP and non-GAAP effective income tax rates are based on estimates and other factors that could change, including the geographic mix of our revenue, expenses (including restructuring charges) and profits and loans and cash repatriations from foreign subsidiaries. Other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected are detailed from time to time in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
