Forward guidance
PTC updated its FY'21 financial guidance to reflect Q2 performance and the changing currency impact, remaining on track on a constant currency basis.
Tailwinds
- Macroeconomic conditions related to the COVID-19 crisis improve in the second-half of FY’21.
- Organic ARR growth of 10% to 12% on a constant currency basis and Arena contributes ~400 basis points of ARR growth.
- Changes in foreign currency versus prior guidance effectively eliminate the prior ~200 bps currency tailwind to ARR. Our current guidance assumes that currency effects in FY’21 are now relatively flat with FY20.
- FY’21 ARR growth is inclusive of a ~2% headwind from lower Deferred ARR exiting FY’20, primarily due to lower bookings in FY’20 reflecting the effect of the COVID pandemic.
- ARR YoY growth rates, on an organic constant currency basis, are expected to be approximately linear each quarter throughout FY’21.
