PTC Inc. (PTC - Free Report) reported second-quarter fiscal 2025 non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $1.79, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 29.7%. The company reported non-GAAP EPS of $1.46 in the prior-year quarter. (See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.)
Revenues came in at $636 million, rising 6% year over year (up 8% at constant currency or cc). The top line beat the consensus estimate by 4.6%. Management projected revenues in the $590-$620 million band. Despite a challenging selling environment, strong performance across its five key areas: PLM, ALM, SLM, CAD and SaaS, drove the upside. The quarter is marked by customer support, progress in go-to-market transformation and continued advancement of its leading product portfolio and generative AI strategy.
However, the company remains wary of growing global trade and macro volatility. While interest in digital transformation stays strong, customer decisions may slow down, so the ARR range was adjusted to reflect possible delays in deal timing and size.
