What PTC Inc. told the SEC could break it.

About 50% of PTC's revenue and 35% of expenses are in non-USD currencies (notably EUR, JPY, ILS, INR); a $0.10 USD/EUR move and a 10-yen JPY move would shift operating income by ~$44M and ~$10M respectively.

“Approximately 50% of our revenue and 35% of our expenses were transacted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. ... Based on current revenue and expense levels (excluding stock-based compensation), a $0.10 change in the USD to EUR exchange rate and a 10 Yen change in the Yen to USD exchange rate would impact operating income by approximately $44 million and $10 million, respectively.”

A large share of PTC's sales are to discrete-manufacturing customers, whose spending is pressured by macro uncertainty — import tariffs, supply-chain disruption, high rates/inflation and FX — that can slow software demand.

“A large amount of our sales are to customers in the discrete manufacturing sector. Manufacturers worldwide continue to face uncertainty about the global macroeconomic environment due to, among other factors, the effects of recently imposed import tariffs and threats of additional import tariffs, the effects of earlier and ongoing supply chain disruptions, high interest rates and inflation, volatile foreign exchange rates”

PTC's heavy reliance on a partner/reseller ecosystem and sales to governments/state-owned enterprises in higher-corruption jurisdictions heighten anti-corruption (FCPA/UK Bribery), data-privacy (GDPR) and trade-sanctions (OFAC/Commerce/State) compliance risk.

“Those laws include, but are not limited to, anti-corruption laws and regulations (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010), data privacy laws and regulations (including the European Union's General Data Privacy Regulation), and trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations (including laws administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Department of Commerce”
