In particular, non-GAAP financial measures exclude non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. This non-GAAP financial measure is provided as a complement to results reported in GAAP because management uses this non-GAAP financial measure when assessing and identifying operational trends. In management's opinion, this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and other users of PTC&#8217;s financial statements by providing greater transparency into the operating performance at PTC and the company's future outlook.
