PTC INC. Leases Disclosure
16. Leases
Our headquarters are located at 121 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts, encompassing approximately 250,000 square feet under a lease agreement that runs through June 2037. Base rent for the first year of the lease was $11.0 million and increases by $1 per square foot per year thereafter ($0.3 million per year). Base rent first became payable on July 1, 2020. In addition to the base rent, we are required to pay our pro rata portions of building operating costs and real estate taxes (together, “Additional Rent”). Annual Additional Rent is estimated to be approximately $8.2 million.
In 2025, we subleased certain portions of our Seaport headquarters for lease terms ending May 2031 and June 2037. We recognized an impairment charge of $12.8 million on right-of-use assets related to subleased facilities. For additional information on this impairment charge, see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

About Leases Disclosures
Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.
Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
