Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the PTC 2022 fourth quarter conference call. During today's presentation, our parties will be in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, the conference will be open for questions.
[Operator instructions]. I would now like to turn the call over to Matt Shimao, PTC's head of investor relations. Please go ahead.
Matt Shimao -- Head of Investor Relations
Good afternoon. Thank you, Angela, and welcome to PTC's fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 conference call. On the call today are Jim Heppelmann, chief executive officer; and Kristian Talvitie, chief financial officer. Today's conference call is being broadcast live through an audio webcast, and a replay of the call will be available later today at www.ptc.com.
During this call, PTC will make forward-looking statements, including guidance as to future operating results. Because such statements deal with future events, actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements can be found in PTC's annual report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as well as in today's press release.
The forward-looking statements, including guidance provided during this call are valid only as of today's date, November 2, 2022, and PTC assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. During the call, PTC will discuss non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in today's press release made available on our website.
With that, I'd like to turn the call over to PTC's chief executive officer, Jim Heppelmann.
Jim Heppelmann -- Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Matt. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I'm pleased to report that PTC delivered an outstanding fourth quarter, which capped off a record year in fiscal '22. Our top line metric of ARR and bottom-line metric of free cash flow both came in above the guidance ranges we issued 90 days ago.
