Factors Shaping PTC’s Upcoming Q2 Results

PTC's core business segments, product lifecycle management (PLM) and computer-aided design (CAD) solutions, continue to be major revenue drivers and are likely to have positively impacted its performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Healthy adoption of its premium PLM product, Windchill software and Creo and other CAD tools among various sectors bodes well.

PTC’s application lifecycle management (ALM) solution, powered by Codebeamer, gained momentum in the last reported quarter, driven by a collaboration with Microsoft and Volkswagen to launch the AI-driven Codebeamer Copilot. In February, PTC launched ServiceMax AI, a GenAI-powered assistant for field service management. It helps technicians by providing job-specific answers, automating documentation and scheduling, and offering predictive maintenance insights using asset history and service data. This might have positively impacted the top line.

On March 27, 2025, PTC officially launched Codebeamer 3.0, the latest version of its ALM solution, aimed at helping companies accelerate product development, improve sustainability, ensure higher quality and maintain regulatory compliance. Codebeamer 3.0 introduces a modern branching method and scaled working sets that enhance collaboration across engineering teams.

Additionally, the company’s go-to-market realignment positioned it to better engage customers and capture new demand. These strategic actions likely translated into increased customer wins, higher deal volumes and stronger subscription growth, contributing positively to PTC’s second-quarter performance.

Apart from these, the shift toward a subscription-based model and efforts to enhance operational discipline have been driving cash flow. For the fiscal second quarter, cash from operations and free cash flow are anticipated to be $274 million and $270 million, respectively.

PTC expects constant currency ARR growth of around 9.5% for the fiscal second quarter, supported by its strong product portfolio, resilient subscription model and strategic investments.

Uncertainty prevailing over the global macro environment, volatile foreign currency movements and tough selling environment are likely to have acted as headwinds. Also, stiff competition in the CAD space is expected to have weighed on margin performance.

Key Recent Developments

On April 15, 2025, PTC unveiled two powerful additions to its Onshape platform — Onshape AI Advisor and Onshape Government. These innovative offerings highlight PTC's commitment to empowering engineers, designers and regulated organizations with powerful tools to streamline product development, enhance productivity and ensure regulatory compliance.

On April 2, 2025, PTC acquired IncQuery Group, a provider of ALM and systems engineering services. The move enhances PTC's capabilities in ALM, PLM and systems engineering, helping global manufacturers streamline product development and improve collaboration across hardware and software teams.

On March 25, 2025, PTC exhibited its latest innovation, Windchill AI, at Hannover Messe 2025, strengthening its position in AI-powered PLM. Windchill AI is an AI-powered assistant that leverages the vast amount of product data stored in Windchill, PTC’s flagship PLM solution.
