PTC Set to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What You Should Know
Read MoreHide Full Article
PTC Inc (PTC - Free Report) is slated to report first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Feb 1.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $464.2 million, suggesting growth of 1.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.01 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 6.3%.
The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.9%, on average.
PTC reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 non-GAAP earnings of $1.27 per share, up 15.5% on a year-over-year basis and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 11.4%. Revenues came in at $508 million, up 6% year over year (up 12% at constant currency or cc). The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2%.
Continued healthy demand for products, especially digital transformation and software-as-a-service or SaaS, across all segments and regions is expected to have driven the bookings performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Increased demand for codebeamer products in industries like automotive and medical devices are tailwinds.
Strength in the industrial Internet of Things solutions and solid demand for product lifecycle management (PLM) offerings and computer-aided design are expected to have contributed to PTC’s fiscal first-quarter top line.
A solid uptick in demand for Creo, Windchill platforms and ThingWorx DPM is likely to have acted as a tailwind. In fiscal 2022, PLM and CAD revenues were $1.137 billion and $796 million, respectively. The company is also working toward accelerating the SaaS transition by introducing new products like Windchill+ and Creo plus.
Subscription-centric model and contributions from Arena Solutions and Onshape are expected to have favored top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, unfavorable forex movement, inflation and challenging global macroeconomic environment are expected to have weighed down on the company’s performance. Also, increasing research and development costs to fend off competition are likely to have acted as headwinds.
