NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate in order to make the information not misleading, these unaudited quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a year mean our fiscal year, which ends on September 30. The September 30, 2011 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-8, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-8). Under the update, an entity has the option, but is not required, to first assess qualitative factors (“Qualitative Assessment” or QA”) to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing facts and circumstances in the aggregate, an entity determines it does not fail the QA, then performing the traditional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Otherwise, an entity is required to proceed to the first step of the goodwill impairment test as outlined in ASC Topic 350. The objective of the Update is to simplify the requirement to test goodwill for impairment and was issued in response to preparer concerns about the cost and complexity of performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Update can be applied for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  As permitted, we elected to early adopt this new guidance in conducting our annual impairment analysis in the third quarter of 2012 as described in Note 7.

2. Deferred Revenue and Financing Receivables

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to software maintenance agreements billed to customers for which the services have not yet been provided. The liability associated with performing these services is included in deferred revenue and, if not yet paid, the related customer receivable is included in other current assets. Billed but uncollected maintenance-related amounts included in other current assets at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were $72.3 million and $93.0 million, respectively.

Financing Receivables

We periodically provide extended payment terms for software purchases to credit-worthy customers with payment terms up to 24 months. The determination of whether to offer such payment terms is based on the size, nature and credit-worthiness of the customer, and the history of collecting amounts due, without concession, from the customer and customers generally. This determination is based on an internal credit assessment. In making this assessment, we use the Standard & Poor's (S&P) credit rating as our primary credit quality indicator, if available. If a customer, including both commercial and U.S. Federal government, has a S&P bond rating of BBB- or above, we designate the customer as a Tier 1. If a customer does not have a S&P bond rating, or has a S&P bond rating below BBB-, we base our assessment on an internal credit assessment which considers selected balance sheet, operating and liquidity measures, historical payment experience, and current business conditions within the industry or region. We designate these customers as Tier 2 or Tier 3, with Tier 3 being lower credit quality than Tier 2.

As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, amounts due from customers for contracts with original payment terms

7

greater than twelve months (financing receivables) totaled $39.1 million and $57.9 million, respectively. Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets included current receivables from such contracts totaling $28.8 million and $41.9 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets included long-term receivables from such contracts totaling $10.3 million and $16.0 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, $0.4 million of these receivables were past due (of which $0.4 million was greater than 90 days past due). None of these receivables were past due as of September 30, 2011. Our credit risk assessment for financing receivables was as follows:

	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011
	(in thousands)
S&P bond rating BBB-1 and above-Tier 1	$	28,606	$	38,575
Internal Credit Assessment-Tier 2	8,933		17,568
Internal Credit Assessment-Tier 3	1,583		1,798
Total financing receivables	$	39,122	$	57,941

We evaluate the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of these customers to make required payments. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we concluded that all financing receivables were collectible and no reserve for credit losses was recorded. We did not provide a reserve for credit losses or write off any uncollectible financing receivables in the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and fiscal year 2011. We write off uncollectible trade and financing receivables when we have exhausted all collection avenues.

We periodically transfer future payments under certain of these contracts to third-party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. We record such transfers as sales of the related accounts receivable when we surrender control of such receivables. We sold $0.6 million and $1.8 million of financing receivables to third-party financial institutions in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We sold $4.0 million financing receivables to third-party financial institutions in the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011.

3. Restructuring Charges

In the second quarter of 2012, as part of our strategy to reduce costs and to realign our business, we implemented a restructuring of our business and recorded restructuring charges of $20.8 million. The restructuring charges included $20.0 million for severance and related costs associated with 168 employees notified of termination during the second quarter of 2012 and $0.8 million of charges related to excess facilities. The second quarter employee terminations triggered a curtailment of a non-U.S. pension plan and interim remeasurement of the pension plan's assets and liabilities. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease in the plan's net unrecognized losses of $1.2 million, which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income net of tax.

In the third quarter of 2012, we implemented further cost reductions and recorded restructuring charges of $4.1 million. The restructuring charges included $4.5 million for severance and related costs associated with 41 employees notified of termination during the third quarter of 2012 and a $0.4 million benefit related to excess facilities as a result of exiting a restructured facility earlier than originally estimated.

The following table summarizes restructuring accrual activity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012:

	Three months ended June 30, 2012									Nine months ended June 30, 2012
	Employee Severance and Related Benefits			Facility Closures and Related Costs			Total			Employee Severance and Related Benefits			Facility Closures and Related Costs			Total

8

The accrual for facility closures and related costs is included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet, and the accrual for employee severance and related benefits is included in accrued compensation and benefits in the consolidated balance sheet.

4. Stock-based Compensation

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for restricted stock and restricted stock unit (RSU) awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

Our equity incentive plan provides for grants of nonqualified and incentive stock options, common stock, restricted stock, RSUs and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors, officers and consultants. We award restricted stock and RSUs as the principal equity incentive awards, including certain performance-based awards that are earned based on achievement of performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of our common stock.

Our equity incentive plans are described more fully in Note K to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

(1) Of the time-based shares of restricted stock, 9,402 were issued to a non-employee director in connection with a consulting contract we entered into with him. The restrictions on these shares lapse in two substantially equal annual installments from the date of grant. The remaining 47,177 were issued to non-employee directors. The restrictions on these shares lapse one year from the date of grant.

(2) Of these performance-based RSUs, 11,899 will be eligible to vest on the later of November 15, 2012 and the date the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which the performance criteria have been achieved and 425,698 will be eligible to vest in three substantially equal installments on the later of November 15, 2012 and the date the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which performance criteria have been achieved, November 15, 2013 and November 15, 2014; and 309,976 are eligible to vest in two substantially equal installments on the later of each of November 15, 2013 and November 15, 2014 and the date the Compensation Committee determines the extent

to which the applicable performance criteria have been achieved (RSUs not earned for 2013 may be earned for 2014 to the extent the cumulative performance criteria are achieved). The remaining 32,508 have been forfeited.

(3) The time-based RSUs were issued to employees, including some of our executive officers. Of these time-based RSUs, 1,146,577 will vest in three substantially equal annual installments in November 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 851,671 will vest in three substantially equal installments in May 2013, 2014, and 2015.

5. Earnings per Share (EPS) and Common Stock

EPS

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted stock, although legally issued and outstanding, is not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic EPS. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options, restricted shares and RSUs using the treasury stock method. The calculation of the dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards under the treasury stock method includes consideration of proceeds from the assumed exercise of stock options, unrecognized compensation expense and any tax benefits as additional proceeds.

Stock options to purchase 0.1 million shares for the first nine months of 2012 and 0.1 million shares for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were outstanding but were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because the exercise prices per share were greater than the average market price of our common stock for those periods. These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Common Stock Repurchases

Our Articles of Organization authorize us to issue up to 500 million shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $100 million worth of shares with cash from operations in the period October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, we repurchased 1.0 million shares at a cost of $20.0 million and 1.6 million at a cost of $35.0 million, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, we

10

repurchased 1.8 million shares at a cost of $39.9 million. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued.

6. Acquisitions

In 2011, we completed the acquisitions of MKS and 4CS described more fully in Note E to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions added $20.3 million and $61.0 million to our revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Acquisition-related costs were $0 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $6.0 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011, respectively. Acquisition related costs include charges related to acquisition integration activities (i.e., severance and professional fees). These costs have been classified in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

4CS

On September 2, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS) for $14.9 million in cash (net of $0.1 million of cash acquired). 4CS's results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning September 3, 2011. Our results of operations prior to this acquisition, if presented on a pro forma basis, would not differ materially from our reported results.

As of September 30, 2011, we had recorded a liability for an additional $1.2 million of contingent purchase price included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. In the nine months ended June 30, 2012, this amount was fully earned and paid. Any further adjustments that could lower the purchase price in accordance with contingent provisions in the acquisition agreement are not anticipated to be material.

MKS

On May 31, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of MKS Inc. (MKS) for $265.2 million, net of $33.2 million of cash acquired. MKS's results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning May 31, 2011.

The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of PTC and MKS, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of PTC's fiscal year 2010. The pro forma information presented includes the effects of business combination accounting resulting from the acquisition, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation charges for unvested stock options, interest expense on borrowings in connection with the acquisition, and the related tax effects as though the acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of 2010. These pro forma results exclude the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment to deferred revenue and the transaction costs included in the historical results and the related tax effects. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2010. The pro forma financial information is based on PTC's results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011, combined with MKS's results of operations for the two and eight months ended May 31, 2011.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We have two operating segments: (1) Software Products and (2) Services. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are determined based on the components of our operating segments that constitute a

11

business for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management. Our reporting units are consistent with our operating segments. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable segment was $771.4 million and $806.0 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment was $28.4 million and $29.4 million, respectively. We test goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting segment below its carrying value. Acquired intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

Our goodwill impairment assessment was based on the new guidance prescribed in ASU 2011-8 as described in Note 1. On July 2, 2011, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit was approximately double its carrying value or higher. Because our fair value was well in excess of our carrying value on that date and there are no other indicators that our goodwill has become impaired since that date, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be greater than its carrying amount no additional testing will be performed. If we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the two step impairment test will be performed. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

We completed our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 30, 2012 based on a qualitative assessment. Our qualitative assessment included company specific (financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, as well as a sensitivity analysis of key model assumptions. Based on our qualitative assessment, we believe it is more-likely-than-not that the fair values of our reporting units exceed their carrying values and no further impairment testing is required.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2012						September 30, 2011
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value

(1) The weighted average useful lives of purchased software, customer lists and relationships, trademarks and trade names and other intangible assets with a remaining net book value are 8 years, 10 years, 6 years, and 4 years, respectively.

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 are due to foreign currency translation adjustments related to those asset balances that are recorded in non-U.S. currencies.

Changes in goodwill for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, presented by reportable segment, are as follows:

12

	Software Products Segment			Services Segment			Total
	(in thousands)
Balance, September 30, 2011	$	588,443		$	24,951		$	613,394

Balance, June 30, 2012	$	581,932		$	24,850		$	606,782

Amortization of intangible assets

The aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives recorded for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 and 2011 was classified in our consolidated statements of operations as follows:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011		June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011
	(in thousands)
Amortization of acquired intangible assets	$	5,103	$	4,753	$	15,444	$	12,873
Cost of license revenue	3,933		3,895		11,967		10,597
Total amortization expense	$	9,036	$	8,648	$	27,411	$	23,470

The estimated aggregate future amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives remaining as of June 30, 2012 is $8.8 million for the remainder of 2012, $35.7 million for 2013, $33.8 million for 2014, $30.4 million for 2015, $22.9 million for 2016, $19.3 million for 2017 and $42.1 million thereafter.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. Generally accepted accounting principles prescribe a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

• Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were as follows:

13

	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011

Financial liabilities:

9. Derivative Financial Instruments

Our foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the value of transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency forward contracts with maturities of up to three months, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that arise primarily from our foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables.

Generally, we do not designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into forward contracts only as an economic hedge, any gain or loss on the underlying foreign-denominated balance would be offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in other income (expense), net.

As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

Currency Hedged	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011
	(in thousands)
Canadian Dollar / U.S. Dollar	$	82,188	$	92,748
Euro / U.S. Dollar	43,181		65,773
Chinese Renminbi / U.S. Dollar	4,192		19,973
Japanese Yen / U.S. Dollar	13,148		13,676
Swiss Franc / U.S. Dollar	—		9,419
British Pound / Euro	5,622		3,993
All other	7,199		7,350
Total	$	155,530	$	212,932

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include a net liability of $1.0 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of June 30, 2012, and a net asset of $5.5 million in other current assets as of September 30, 2011 related to the fair value of our forward contracts.

Net gains and losses on foreign currency exposures are recorded in other income (expense), net and include realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts. Net gains and losses on foreign currency exposures for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 were as follows:

14

	Three months ended					Nine months ended

10. Segment Information

We operate within a single industry segment—computer software and related services. Operating segments as defined under GAAP are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our President and Chief Executive Officer. We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Software Products, which includes license and related maintenance revenue (including updates and technical support) for all our products except training-related products; and (2) Services, which includes consulting, implementation, training, computer-based training products, including maintenance on these products, and other support revenue. In our consolidated statements of operations, maintenance revenue is included in service revenue. We do not allocate sales and marketing or administrative expenses to our operating segments as these activities are managed on a consolidated basis.

The revenue and operating income attributable to our operating segments are summarized as follows:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	June 30, 2012			July 2, 2011			June 30, 2012			July 2, 2011
	(in thousands)

Total operating income	$	31,083		$	24,530		$	70,491		$	65,866

(1) We recorded restructuring charges of $4.1 million and $24.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively. Software Products included $0.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively; Services included $0.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively; sales and marketing expenses included $2.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively; and general and administrative expenses included $0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of these restructuring charges.

(2) In the first quarter of 2011, we made a strategic decision to enter into a contract with a customer in the automotive industry for which we expected our costs to exceed our revenue by approximately $5 million. Services segment operating income in the first three months of 2011 included immediate recognition of the approximately $5 million estimated loss on this contract.

We report revenue by product group, Desktop and Enterprise. Desktop revenue includes our CAD Solutions, primarily Creo Parametric, Creo Elements/Direct, Mathcad and Arbortext authoring products. Enterprise revenue includes our PLM solutions, primarily Windchill, Arbortext enterprise products, Creo View and Integrity.

_________________

(1) Includes revenue in the United States totaling $106.1 million and $98.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively, and $319.1 million and $263.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.

11. Income Taxes

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, our effective tax rate was a provision of 26% on pre-tax income of $30.8 million, and 25% on pre-tax income of $64.6 million, respectively, compared to a provision of 15% on pre-tax income of $18.3 million and 16% on pre-tax income of $56.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively. In the first nine months of 2012, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. The third quarter of 2012 provision includes a discrete non-cash charge of $4.2 million. This charge was recorded due to the restructuring of our Canadian operations that resulted in a change in the tax status of the foreign legal entity. Our provision in the first nine months of 2012 also includes the expiration on December 31, 2011 of the research and development (R&D) credit in the U.S. and a discrete non-cash charge of $1.5 million related to the impact of a Japanese legislative change, enacted in the first quarter, on our Japan entity's deferred tax assets. Additionally, we expect to make a R&D cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. at the same level as the prior year. If such prepayment is not ultimately paid within the fiscal year, the effective tax rate would be favorably impacted by up to $7.5 million. In the first nine months of 2011, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our corporate tax structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate and a $1.8 million tax benefit related to R&D credits in the U.S. triggered by a retroactive extension of the R&D tax credit enacted in the first quarter of 2011.

We have net deferred tax assets ($121.9 million as of September 30, 2011) primarily relating to our U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In arriving at this conclusion, we evaluated all available evidence, including our cumulative profitability on a pre-tax basis for the last three years (adjusted for permanent differences) which includes the results of taking certain tax planning actions. We have taken and will continue to take measures to improve core earnings in the U.S. If our U.S. results do not improve, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets may be required. We will continue to reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period.

16

As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $16.4 million ($16.1 million net of state tax benefits) and $16.2 million ($15.9 million net of state tax benefits), respectively. If all of our unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2012 were to become recognizable in the future, we would record a $15.2 million benefit to the income tax provision.

Our policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of our income tax provision. In the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 we included $0.2 million of interest expense, and $0.1 million of tax penalty expense in our income tax provision. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 we had accrued $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of estimated interest expense and we had $0.1 million of accrued tax penalties as of June 30, 2012. Changes in our unrecognized tax benefits in the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

	(in millions)
Balance as of October 1, 2011	$	16.2
Tax positions related to current year	1.2
Tax positions related to prior years	0.4
Statute expirations	(1.4		)
Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	16.4

Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in favorable or unfavorable changes in our estimates. We believe it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest related to the resolution of multi-jurisdictional tax positions could be reduced by up to $6 million as audits close and statutes expire.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service in the United States. As of June 30, 2012, we remained subject to examination in the following major tax jurisdictions for the tax years indicated:

Major Tax Jurisdiction	Open Years
United States	2009 through 2011
Germany	2007 through 2011
France	2007 through 2011
Japan	2006 through 2011
Ireland	2006 through 2011

12. Long Term Debt

Revolving Credit Agreement

We have a multi-currency bank revolving credit facility (the credit facility) with a syndicate of ten banks for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Administrative Agent. The credit facility matures on September 30, 2016, when all amounts will be due and payable in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be paid before maturity in whole or in part at PTC’s option without penalty or premium. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of other businesses, and may also use it for working capital.

The credit facility consists of a $300 million revolving credit facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $150 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments (such increase may also be used, in whole or in part, for term loans). PTC is the sole borrower under the credit facility. The obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by PTC’s material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting equity interests of PTC’s material first-tier foreign subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for the obligations.

In May 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we borrowed $250 million under the credit facility at a variable interest rate which resets every 30 to 180 days, depending on the rate and period selected. The annual rate in effect as of June 30, 2012 is 1.75%, which will reset on August 22, 2012 to then current rates as defined below. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 we had $140 million and $200 million, respectively, outstanding under the credit facility. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we borrowed and then repaid $40 million under the credit facility for short term cash requirements. Additionally, in the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we repaid$60 million under the credit facility.

17

Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility range from 1.25% to 1.625% above an adjusted LIBO rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or would range from 0.25% to 0.625% above the defined base rate (the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.005%, or an adjusted LIBO rate plus 1%) for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon PTC’s leverage ratio. Additionally, PTC may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest rates for those currencies, based on PTC’s leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility is required, ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum, based upon PTC’s leverage ratio.

The credit facility limits PTC’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends (other than to PTC) and make other distributions; make investments and enter into joint ventures; dispose of assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates, except on an arms-length basis. Under the credit facility, PTC and its material domestic subsidiaries may not invest cash or property in, or loan to, PTC’s foreign subsidiaries in aggregate amounts exceeding $50 million for any purpose and an additional $75 million for acquisitions of businesses. In addition, under the credit facility, PTC and its subsidiaries must maintain the following financial ratios:

• a leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 at any time; and

• a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA less consolidated capital expenditures to consolidated fixed charges, of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 at any time.

As of June 30, 2012, our leverage ratio was 0.55 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.24 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of June 30, 2012.

Any failure to comply with the financial or operating covenants of the credit facility would prevent PTC from being able to borrow additional funds, and would constitute a default, permitting the lenders to, among other things, accelerate the amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, under the credit facility and to terminate the credit facility. A change in control of PTC, as defined in the agreement, also constitutes an event of default, permitting the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the credit facility.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and Regulatory Matters

China Investigation

We have undertaken an investigation of payments by certain business partners and expenses by certain employees in China that raise questions of compliance with laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and/or compliance with our business policies. The termination of certain employees and business partners in China in connection with this matter may have an adverse impact on our level of sales in China until such replacements for those employees and business partners are in place and productive. Revenue from China has historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue. We have voluntarily disclosed the results of our investigation and associated remedial actions to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission and are cooperating to provide additional information as requested. We are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or to estimate fines or other sanctions which may be assessed.

Other Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that resolving the legal proceedings and claims that we are currently subject to will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any of these legal proceedings and claims be resolved against us, the operating results for a particular reporting period could be adversely affected.

Accruals

With respect to legal proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For legal proceedings and claims for which the likelihood that a liability has been incurred is more than remote but less than probable, we estimate the range of possible outcomes. As of both June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had a legal proceedings and claims accrual of $0.4 million.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

18

We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of our business. Pursuant to such agreements with our business partners or customers, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and we accordingly believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

We warrant that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products for a specified period of time. Additionally, we generally warrant that our consulting services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards. In most cases, liability for these warranties is capped. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history; however, we have not incurred significant cost under our product or services warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about our future financial and growth expectations, the development of our products and markets, adoption of our solutions and future purchases by customers, and the expected impact of our strategic investments and product releases on our business are forward-looking statements that are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results include the following: our customers may not purchase our solutions when or at the rates we expect; we may not achieve the license, service or maintenance growth rates we expect, which could result in a different mix of revenue between license, service and maintenance and could adversely affect our profitability; the possibility that foreign currency exchange rates may vary from our expectations and thereby affect our reported revenue and expense; our strategic investments may not generate the revenue or have the effects we expect; our pipeline of opportunities in the Americas may not generate the revenue we expect, we may be unable to achieve planned services margins and operating margin improvements, we may be unable to attain or maintain a technology leadership position and any such leadership position may not generate the revenue we expect; our ability to successfully differentiate our products and services from those of our competitors and otherwise compete could be adversely affected by the relatively larger size and greater resources of several of the companies with which we compete; the possibility that remedial actions related to our previously announced investigation in China may have a material impact on our operations in China, as well as other risks and uncertainties described below throughout or referenced in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.

Our Business

Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) develops, markets and supports solutions that span the entire product lifecycle, from engineering product design through supply chain and after-market services. Our software solutions provide our customers with an integral product development system that enables them to create digital product content, collaborate with others in the product development process, control product content, automate product development processes, configure products and product content, and communicate product information to people and systems across the extended enterprise and design chain.

Our solutions in the product lifecycle management, or PLM, market (product data management, collaboration and related solutions); the CAD market (computer-aided design solutions); and the application lifecycle management, or ALM, market (software development solutions within product development) help companies design products, manage product information and improve their product development processes. Our solutions in the supply chain management, or SCM, market (product sourcing, design and compliance solutions) and the service lifecycle management, or SLM, market (after-market service and support solutions) help companies manage product performance, reliability and safety and ensure that updates in product development are reflected in real-time service and spare parts information throughout a product's service lifecycle.

Our software solutions help customers increase innovation, improve product quality, decrease time to market, and reduce product development costs.

We generate revenue through the sale of:

• software licenses,

• maintenance services, which include technical support and software updates, and

• consulting and training services, which include implementation services for our software.

The markets we serve present different growth opportunities for us. We believe the markets among large businesses for PLM, ALM, SLM and SCM solutions (which we refer to as our “Enterprise Solutions”) present the greatest opportunity for revenue growth for us and that revenue from these markets will constitute an increasingly greater proportion of our revenue over time. We believe that the market for our CAD solutions (which we refer to as our “Desktop Solutions”) provides an opportunity for modest long-term growth as the market for these solutions is mature.

Our solutions are complemented by our experienced services and technical support organizations which provide consulting, implementation and training support services to customers worldwide. Resellers supplement this direct sales force to provide greater geographic and small- and medium-size account coverage, while other strategic partners provide product and/or service offerings that complement our solutions.

Executive Overview

For the third quarter of 2012, our total revenue was $311 million, a year-over-year increase of 7%, in line with our third quarter expectations.  On a constant currency basis (at third quarter of 2011 foreign currency exchange rates), total revenue would have been $322 million, or a 10% year-over-year increase.  On an organic basis, excluding revenue during the quarter from our MKS and 4CS businesses, both acquired in the second half of 2011, total revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was up 2% year over year (up 5% on a constant currency basis).  MKS and 4CS revenue was $20 million in the quarter compared to $6 million in the third quarter of 2011.  Total license revenue for the quarter was $84 million, an increase of 3% year over year (up 7% on a constant currency basis).  On an organic basis, total license revenue was down 3% year-over-year (up 1% on a constant currency basis). From a geographic perspective, Europe continued to perform in line with our expectations with the Pacific Rim and Japan delivering strong results. While the Americas performance lagged other geographic regions in the third quarter, our pipeline continues to build and we are optimistic about the outlook for this region in the fourth quarter of 2012.  We had 34 customers ($75 million) from which we recognized license and/or consulting and training revenue greater than $1 million in the quarter compared with 25 customers ($56 million) in the prior quarter and 30 customers ($67 million) during the third quarter of 2011.  This increase was attributable to Asia, which had 7 more customers in this category this quarter compared to both the prior quarter and third quarter of 2011.

Our operating margin on a non-GAAP basis increased to 19% in the third quarter of 2012 from 18% in the third quarter of 2011 and increased to 10% from 8% on a GAAP basis, due primarily to cost reductions and improved services margins. These improvements were partially offset by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates which unfavorably impacted GAAP operating margin by approximately $4 million. GAAP operating margin in the third quarter of 2012 included $4 million of restructuring charges described below and in the third quarter of 2011 included $6 million of acquisition-related expenses. Non-GAAP earnings per share in the third quarter of 2012 increased 16% to $0.37 from $0.32 in the third quarter of 2011 as a result of higher comparable revenue and profitability. On a GAAP basis, earnings per share in the third quarter of 2012 was $0.19 compared to $0.13 in the third quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to GAAP results under Results of Operations - Income and Margins; Earnings per Share below.

We ended the third quarter of 2012 with $238 million of cash, up from $224 million at the end of the second quarter of 2012 and $168 million at September 30, 2011, reflecting strong operating cash flow, net of $20 million used to repay our revolving credit facility and $20 million used for stock repurchases. We also have $160 million available under our revolving credit facility.

As part of our strategy to reduce costs and to realign our business, in the second quarter of 2012, we implemented a restructuring of our business and recorded restructuring charges of $21 million in the second quarter, primarily for severance and related costs associated with 168 employees (representing approximately 3% of our workforce) notified of termination during that quarter. In the third quarter of 2012, we implemented further cost reductions and recorded restructuring charges of $4 million, primarily for severance and related costs associated with an additional 41 employees notified of termination during the third quarter of 2012. We expect that these reductions will result in operating expense savings of approximately $6 million per quarter. We realized approximately $5 million of these operating expense savings in the third quarter of 2012. We paid $15 million of the restructuring charges in the second and third quarters of 2012 and we expect to pay the remaining $10 million within the next nine months.

We expect the near-term cost savings and the longer-term benefit of our organizational realignment will improve efficiencies within our sales and services organizations and improve our operating margins over the long term. 

Revenue, Operating Margin, Earnings per Share and Cash Flow from Operations

The following table shows the financial measures that we consider the most significant indicators of the performance of our business. In addition to providing operating income, operating margin, and diluted earnings per share as calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we also show non-GAAP operating income, operating margin, and diluted earnings per share for the reported periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude a fair value adjustment related to acquired deferred maintenance revenue, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, one-time charges included in non-operating other income (expense) and the related tax effects of the preceding items, and any one-time tax items. Excluding those expenses and one-time items provides investors another view of our operating results which is aligned with management budgets and with performance criteria in our incentive compensation plans. Management uses, and investors should consider, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results. We discuss the non-GAAP measures in detail under Results of Operations - Income and Margins; Earnings per Share below.

(1) Costs and expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 included $4.1 million and $24.9 million, respectively, of restructuring charges as well as $0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs, compared to $6.0 million and $6.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively. These restructuring and acquisition-related costs have been excluded from non-GAAP operating income. In the first quarter of 2011, we entered into a strategic contract with an automotive customer for which we expected costs to exceed revenue by approximately $5 million. This loss was recorded in the first quarter of 2011 and resulted in a decrease in GAAP and non-GAAP operating income of approximately $5 million.
(2) Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included foreign currency losses of $4.4 million recorded as other expense related to our acquisition of MKS. These losses have been excluded from non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
(3) In the first nine months of 2011, we used $48 million, net, of cash in connection with the resolution of a litigation matter.

In the third quarter of 2012, compared to the third quarter of 2011, our total revenue was up 7%, reflecting revenue contribution from MKS and 4CS (as further described in Acquisitions below) as well as the growth of our maintenance and services businesses. In the third quarter of 2012 organic revenue, excluding the impact of MKS and 4CS, increased 2% to $290.7 million while organic license revenue decreased 3% to $76.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2011. For the first nine months of 2012 total revenue was up 6% on an organic basis compared to the first nine months of 2011 and license revenue declined 1%.

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, maintenance revenue was up 3% and 7%, respectively, on an organic basis and consulting and training service revenue was up 6% and 12%, respectively, on an organic basis. We have seen continued strength in maintenance and consulting services following strong license sales in both 2011 and 2010.

In the third quarter of 2012, license revenue from direct customers was down 2% year over year (6% on an organic basis). We saw continued overall strength in the small- and medium-size business market in the third quarter of 2012, compared to the third quarter of 2011, with indirect license revenue and total indirect revenue up 16% and 10%, respectively

22

(4% and 5% on an organic basis, respectively). This was our tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year indirect license revenue and total indirect revenue growth. In the first nine months of 2012, license revenue and total revenue from direct customers were up 5% and 13%, respectively, year over year (down 3% and up 6%, respectively, on an organic basis). In the first nine months of 2012, license revenue and total revenue from indirect customers was up 14% and 11%, respectively, year over year (up 5% and 6%, respectively, on an organic basis).

Our GAAP and non-GAAP operating income improved due to higher margins, particularly in our services business, coupled with cost reductions and improved operating leverage.

Future Expectations, Strategies and Risks

For fiscal year 2012 we are currently targeting non-GAAP and GAAP revenue growth of 7% to 9%. This reflects a decrease in our full year targets for 2012 from those projected at the end of the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency. Changes in foreign currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar can significantly impact our results. Our current plan assumes $1.20 USD to Euro rate, down from $1.30 assumed at the end of the second quarter, an approximate $10 million negative impact on revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012. For 2012, compared to 2011, we are expecting license revenue growth of approximately 4%, non-GAAP and GAAP maintenance revenue growth of approximately 9%, and consulting and training service revenue growth of approximately 12%.

Our commitment to operating margin expansion is a cornerstone of our financial strategy, which is reflected in our margin performance in the first nine months of 2012 and our outlook for 2012 and beyond. Our goal is to improve non-GAAP operating margins by 180 basis points in 2012, from 17.7% in 2011 to approximately 19.5% in 2012 (compared to approximately 10% on a GAAP basis for both periods), through operating leverage, impact of the restructuring, our on-going focus on operating margin improvements and cost efficiency, and improved services margins in our consulting and training services business.

There continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the strength of the global economy. Accordingly, while we have added sales capacity to address our expanded market opportunities, at the same time we continue to be disciplined about broader staffing and spending plans.

Our results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by revenue from large customers. The amount of revenue, particularly license revenue, attributable to large transactions, and the number of such transactions, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on customer purchasing decisions and macroeconomic conditions. Our growth rates have become increasingly dependent on adoption of our Enterprise solutions among large direct customers. Such transactions tend to be larger in size and may have long lead times as they often follow a lengthy product selection and evaluation process. This may cause increased volatility in our results.

Impact of an Investigation in China

As previously disclosed, we have undertaken an investigation of payments by certain business partners and expenses by certain employees in China that raise questions of compliance with laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and/or compliance with our business policies. The termination of certain employees and business partners in China in connection with this matter may have an adverse impact on our level of sales in China until replacements for those employees and business partners are in place and productive. Revenue from China has historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue. We have voluntarily disclosed the results of our investigation and associated remedial actions to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission and are cooperating to provide additional information as requested. We are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or to estimate fines or other sanctions which may be assessed.

Results of Operations

Acquisitions

We acquired MKS on May 31, 2011 and 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS) on September 2, 2011. The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions added $20.3 million and $61.0 million to our revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively ($20.5 million and $63.5 million on a non-GAAP basis, respectively), compared to $6.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 ($6.7 million on a non-GAAP basis).

MKS revenue and 4CS revenue are classified as “Enterprise” revenue.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations

23

Approximately two-thirds of our revenue and half of our expenses are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Because we report our results of operations in U.S. Dollars, currency translation, particularly changes in the Euro and Yen, relative to the U.S. Dollar, affects our reported results. If actual reported results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 had been converted into U.S. Dollars based on the foreign currency exchange rates in effect for the comparable 2011 periods, revenue would have been higher by $11.2 million and $8.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, expenses would have been higher by $7.5 million and $7.6 million, respectively, and operating income would have been higher by $3.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. On a non-GAAP basis, revenue would have been higher by $11.2 million and $8.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, expenses would have been higher by $7.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and non-GAAP operating income would have been higher by $4.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Our constant currency disclosures are calculated by multiplying the actual results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 by the exchange rates in effect for the comparable periods in 2011.

Revenue

Desktop revenue includes our CAD Solutions: Creo Parametric, Creo Elements/Direct, Arbortext authoring products and Mathcad. Enterprise revenue includes our PLM solutions: Windchill, Arbortext enterprise products, Creo View, and Integrity.

Direct revenue includes sales made primarily by our direct sales force to large businesses. Indirect revenue includes sales by our reseller channel, primarily to small- and medium-size businesses, as well as revenue from other accounts that we have classified as indirect. If the classification of a customer changes between direct and indirect, we reclassify the historical revenue associated with that customer to align with the current period classification. Such reclassifications were not material in the periods presented.

Enterprise maintenance revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 includes a fair value adjustment related to acquired deferred MKS maintenance revenue of $0.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Enterprise maintenance revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included a comparable adjustment of $0.7 million. Non-GAAP revenue excludes these adjustments. Accordingly, non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP Enterprise revenue, non-GAAP maintenance revenue and MKS non-GAAP revenue in the previous and following discussion are higher than the corresponding GAAP revenue figures by the amount of these adjustments.

License Revenue

License revenue of $83.8 million reflects year-over-year increases in Japan and the Pacific Rim of 44% and 53%, respectively, reflecting an increase in license revenue from large transactions, partially offset by decreases in the Americas and Europe of 27% and 3%, respectively. See Revenue from Individual Customers below for further discussion.

Enterprise license revenue (which is driven primarily by PLM license sales), while negatively impacted by our performance in Europe and the Americas, grew 12% on a year-over-year basis due primarily to contribution from MKS. MKS contributed $5.9 million to Enterprise license revenue in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 (which included only one month of revenue from MKS). On an organic basis, Enterprise license revenue decreased 1% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011. Desktop license revenue (primarily MCAD license sales) declined 5% on a year-over-year basis.

The increase in overall license revenue in the first nine months of 2012 was due primarily to growth in direct Enterprise license revenue which increased 26% ($21.0 million) due to revenue from MKS of $18.6 million (compared to $2.0 million in the prior year period) and higher sales on a year-to-date basis to our large commercial customers. Additionally, we saw growth in license revenue from small- and medium-size customers, particularly indirect Enterprise license revenue, which was 48% ($7.0 million) higher in the the first nine months of 2012 compared to the prior year. Enterprise license revenue results reflect an increase in revenue from sales of Windchill, which were 17% ($11.4 million) higher in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011.

Foreign currency exchange rate movements, relative to the comparative 2011 periods, unfavorably impacted license revenue by $3.3 million and $2.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively.

Consulting and Training Service Revenue

Consulting and training services engagements typically result from sales of new licenses, particularly of our Enterprise solutions. In the third quarter of 2012, compared to the third quarter of 2011, consulting revenue, which is primarily related to Windchill implementations among our direct Enterprise customers, was up 10% ($6.0 million) and training revenue, which typically represents about 15% of our total consulting and training services revenue, was up 2% ($0.2 million). In the first nine months of 2012, compared to the first nine months of 2011, consulting revenue was up 20% ($32.5 million) and training revenue was up 9% ($2.3 million). MKS and 4CS contributed $3.9 million and $14.6 million to Enterprise consulting and training service revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively (compared to $1.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011). Excluding MKS and 4CS, consulting and training service revenue increased 6% ($3.8 million) and 12% ($21.9 million) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011.

Foreign currency exchange rate movements unfavorably impacted consulting and training services revenue by $2.8

27

million and $2.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

Maintenance Revenue

Maintenance revenue is comprised of contracts to maintain new and/or previously purchased software. We saw steady growth in maintenance revenue in 2011, continuing in the first half of 2012. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, compared to the same periods in 2011, Desktop maintenance revenue was down 1% ($0.8 million) and up 4% ($10.9 million), respectively and Enterprise maintenance revenue was up 27% ($11.4 million) and 35% ($40.5 million), respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, MKS and 4CS contributed $9.4 million and $26.6 million, respectively, to Enterprise maintenance revenue (compared to $2.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011). Excluding MKS and 4CS, Enterprise maintenance revenue increased 11% ($4.4 million) and 14% ($16.4 million) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011. Creo and Windchill seats under maintenance increased 7% and 15%, respectively, as of the end of the third quarter of 2012, compared to the end of the third quarter of 2011.

Foreign currency exchange rate movements impacted maintenance revenue unfavorably by $5.0 million and $2.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

Revenue by Distribution Channel

We derive most of our revenue from products and services sold directly by our sales force to end-user customers (Direct Revenue). We also sell products and services through third-party resellers and other strategic partners (Indirect Revenue). Our sales force focuses on large accounts while our reseller channel provides a cost-effective means of covering the small- and medium-size business market. This enables our direct sales force to focus on larger sales opportunities and ensures greater coverage of all customer segments.

Our direct revenue typically comprises approximately 70% of our total revenue while our indirect revenue typically comprises approximately 30% of our total revenue. Our indirect sales have increased in part as a result of the release of Creo in June 2011.

Revenue results by Distribution Channel can be found in the table Revenue by Product Group and Distribution Channel above.

Revenue from Individual Customers

We enter into customer contracts that may result in revenue being recognized over multiple reporting periods. Accordingly, revenue recognized in a current period may be attributable to contracts entered into during the current period or in prior periods. License and/or consulting and training service revenue of $1 million or more recognized from individual customers in a single quarter during the fiscal year from contracts entered into during that quarter and/or a prior quarter is shown in the table below. The amount of revenue, particularly license revenue, attributable to large transactions, and the number of such transactions, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on customer purchasing decisions, the completion of large services engagements commenced in previous quarters and macroeconomic conditions. In the first quarter of 2012, we instituted changes to our internal customer reporting that resulted in differences in our previously reported customer metrics. The historical information in the table below has been restated to conform to the current customer definitions.

For the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, there were 34 (11 in the Americas, 11 in Europe and 12 in Asia) and 30 (14 in the Americas, 11 in Europe and 5 in Asia) of these customers, respectively, with average revenue recorded of $2.2 million per customer in both periods.

Revenue from large customers in the third quarter of 2012, increased 12% as compared to the third quarter of 2011. Revenue attributable to large transactions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 reflects a lower mix of license revenue. The license revenue portion of this metric, which typically comprises approximately 50% to 60% of the total, was 44% and 42% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, reflecting a lower mix of license revenue, and greater service revenues.  This mix shift reflects an increase in customer implementations of current services projects, and lower license revenue contributions from new large deals in Europe and North America.

Americas

The increase in revenue in the Americas in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 consisted of an increase of 35% ($8.5 million) in consulting and training service revenue and an increase of 13% ($7.0 million) in maintenance revenue, partially offset by a decrease of 27% ($7.5 million) in license revenue. The decrease in license revenue in the third quarter reflects a decline in both Enterprise license revenue (24% decrease) due primarily to lower PLM license sales to large customers and a decline in Desktop license revenue (31% decrease) due to lower sales of MCAD products in the quarter. The increase in revenue in the Americas in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 consisted of an increase of 35% ($23.6 million) in consulting and training service revenue and an increase of 16% ($24.1 million) in maintenance revenue, partially offset by a decrease of 9% ($7.2 million) in license revenue. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, MKS and 4CS contributed revenue of $11.3 million and $32.6 million, respectively, and $3.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

Europe

Revenue in Europe in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 reflects an increase in maintenance revenue of 4% ($2.5 million), offset by a decrease in consulting and training service revenue of 5% ($1.6 million) and a decrease in license revenue of 3% ($1.1 million). Total Enterprise license revenue decreased 16% ($2.4 million) in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 while total Desktop license revenue increased 8% ($1.3 million) over the same period. The increase in revenue in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 consisted of an increase in license revenue of 7% ($5.9 million), an increase in consulting and training service revenue of 14% ($11.0 million) and an increase in maintenance revenue of 11% ($18.2 million). In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, MKS and 4CS contributed revenue of $5.6 million and $18.1 million, respectively, and $1.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

29

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro, unfavorably impacted revenue in Europe by $10.6 million and $12.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

Pacific Rim

The increase in revenue in the Pacific Rim in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 consisted primarily of an increase of 53% ($8.0 million) in license revenue and an increase of 3% ($0.3 million) in maintenance revenue, partially offset by a decrease of 15% ($1.6 million) in consulting and training service revenue. Although we are pleased with results for the quarter for the Pacific Rim, and believe the base business in the region remains solid, we believe growth will be somewhat lower in the fourth quarter. The increase in revenue in the Pacific Rim in the first nine months of 2012, compared to the first nine months of 2011, consisted primarily of an increase of 27% ($12.0 million) in license revenue and an increase of 10% ($2.9 million) in maintenance revenue, partially offset by a decrease of 11% ($3.5 million) in consulting and training service revenue. Revenue from China, which has historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue, increased 9% and decreased 1% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, MKS and 4CS contributed revenue of $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and $0.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenue in the Pacific Rim by $1.0 million and $1.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

Japan

The increase in revenue in Japan in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 included increases of 44% ($2.8 million) in license revenue, 18% ($0.8 million) in consulting and training service revenue and 4% ($0.8 million) in maintenance revenue. The increase in revenue in Japan in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 included increases of 32% ($5.9 million) in license revenue, 26% ($3.8 million) in consulting and training service revenue and 11% ($6.1 million) in maintenance revenue. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, MKS and 4CS contributed revenue of $3.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, and $0.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

Changes in the Yen to U.S. Dollar exchange rate favorably impacted revenue in Japan by $0.4 million and $4.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

(1) On a constant currency basis, compared to the year-ago periods, total costs and expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 increased 8% and 14%, respectively.

Costs and expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 increased primarily as a result of:

• restructuring charges of $24.9 million primarily for severance and other related costs associated with the termination of 209 employees;

• higher cost of service in support of services revenue growth;

• investments in our direct sales force;

• an increase of approximately 500 employees (as of March 31, 2012) in connection with our acquisitions of MKS on May 31, 2011 and 4CS on September 2, 2011; and

• company-wide merit pay increases effective on February 1, 2012 and 2011 (both merit pay increases were approximately $11 million on an annualized basis), which resulted in an increase in salary expense across all functional organizations.

These cost increases were offset by lower acquisition-related costs associated with our acquisitions of MKS and 4CS (included in general and administrative) which were $0 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $6.0 million and $6.6 million in the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011, respectively.     

Costs in the first nine months of 2011 also included the following:

• a contract loss of approximately $5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2011 related to estimated costs to be incurred in completing a services contract in excess of the corresponding revenue;

• higher sales and marketing expenses associated with events, including our Creo product launch in the first quarter of 2011; and

• severance and related expenses of approximately $3.0 million associated with 60 employees terminated in the second quarter of 2011, primarily in research and development.

Our cost of license revenue consists of fixed and variable costs associated with reproducing and distributing software and documentation, as well as royalties paid to third parties for technology embedded in or licensed with our software products and amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired products. Cost of license revenue increased in the first nine months of 2012 due in part to amortization of purchased software, which was $1.4 million higher than the first nine months of 2011. Cost of license revenue as a percent of license revenue can vary depending on product mix sold and the effect of fixed and variable royalties and the level of amortization of acquired software intangible assets.

% of total service revenue	38		%	39		%			38		%	40		%
Service headcount at end of period	1,880			1,823			3	%

Our cost of service revenue includes costs such as salaries, benefits, and computer equipment and facilities for our training, customer support and consulting personnel; third-party subcontractor fees; and costs associated with the release of maintenance updates (including related royalty costs). Service margins can vary based on the product mix sold in the period. Margins on maintenance revenue are significantly higher than on consulting and training service revenue. Maintenance revenue comprised 67% of total service revenue in the third quarters of 2012 and 2011 and 67% and 68% of total service revenue in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were 3% ($1.6 million) and 16% ($25.3 million) higher primarily due to increased headcount and the impact of merit pay increases. Cost of service headcount at the end of the second quarter of 2012 included approximately 190 employees added from MKS and 4CS.

In the first quarter of 2011, we made a strategic decision to enter into a contract with an important customer in the automotive industry for which we expected our costs to exceed our revenue by approximately $5 million. Cost of service revenue in the first quarter of 2011 included immediate recognition of this loss of approximately $5 million.

Our sales and marketing expenses primarily include salaries and benefits, sales commissions, advertising and marketing programs, travel and facility costs. Our compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher by an aggregate of 6% ($4.4 million) and 13% ($25.6 million) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 due to higher headcount as a result of acquisitions and investments we have made in our direct sales force in support of revenue growth opportunities and the impact of merit pay increases. Sales and marketing headcount at the end of the second quarter of 2012 included approximately 110 employees added from MKS and 4CS. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses were higher by $0.7 million and $2.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the prior year periods as a result of investments we are making in sales technology infrastructure. Sales meeting and marketing event expenses were lower by approximately $1.3 million in the first nine months

Acquisition-related costs were $0 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $6.0 million and $6.6 million in the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011, respectively, and include charges related to acquisition integration activities (i.e., severance and professional fees). Total compensation, benefit costs and travel costs were higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 by 14% ($2.7 million) and 13% ($7.4 million), respectively, due to higher stock-based compensation, increased headcount and the impact of merit pay increases. Stock-based compensation was $1.4 million and $2.7 million higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, due in part to the acceleration of unvested restricted stock units for the former Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors to June 30, 2012, the effective date of his resignation. General and administrative headcount at the end of second quarter of 2012 included approximately 30 employees added from MKS and 4CS. Additionally, costs for outside professional services were higher by $0.6 million and $3.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets reflects the amortization of acquired non-product related intangible assets, primarily customer and trademark-related intangible assets, recorded in connection with completed acquisitions. The increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to our acquisition of MKS.

Restructuring charges	$	4.1	$	—	$	24.9	$	—

In the second quarter of 2012, as part of our strategy to reduce costs and to realign our business, we implemented a restructuring of our business and recorded restructuring charges of $20.8 million in the second quarter. The restructuring charges included $20.0 million for severance and related costs associated with 168 employees notified of termination during the second quarter of 2012 and $0.8 million of charges related to excess facilities.

In the third quarter of 2012, we implemented further cost reductions and recorded restructuring charges of $4.1 million, including $4.5 million for severance and related costs associated with 41 employees notified of termination during the third quarter of 2012 net of a $0.4 million benefit related to excess facilities as a result of exiting a restructured facility earlier than originally estimated.

We expect that these reductions will result in future operating expense savings of approximately $6 million per quarter. We realized approximately $5 million of these operating expense savings in the third quarter of 2012. We paid $15 million of the restructuring charges in the second and third quarters of 2012 and we expect to pay the remaining $10 million within the next nine months.

Total interest and other (expense) income, net	$	(0.3	)	$	(6.3	)	$	(5.9	)	$	(9.0	)

Interest and other income (expense), net includes interest income, interest expense, costs of hedging contracts, certain realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses and exchange gains or losses resulting from the required period-end currency remeasurement of the financial statements of our subsidiaries that use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency. A large portion of our revenue and expenses is transacted in foreign currencies. To reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we engage in hedging transactions involving the use of foreign currency forward contracts, primarily in the Euro and Canadian Dollar. The increase in interest expense in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the prior year period is due to amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We borrowed $250 million under our revolving credit facility in May 2011 in connection with our acquisition of MKS. We had $140 million outstanding under the facility at June 30, 2012. The decrease in other income (expense), net in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the prior year periods was due primarily to foreign currency net losses which were $5.5 million and $4.3 million lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011. The third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included foreign currency losses of $4.4 million related to the settlement of forward contracts to purchase CDN $292 million in connection with our acquisition of MKS. The third quarter of 2012 included other income related to a legal settlement of $0.7 million.

In the third quarter and first nine months 2012, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. The third quarter of 2012 provision includes a discrete non-cash charge of $4.2 million. This charge was recorded due to the restructuring of our Canadian operations that resulted in a change in the tax status of the foreign legal entity. Our provision in the first nine months of 2012 also includes the expiration on December 31, 2011 of the research and development (R&D) credit in the U.S. and a discrete non-cash charge of $1.5 million related to the impact of a Japanese legislative change, enacted in the first quarter, on our Japan entity's deferred tax assets. Additionally, we expect to make a research and development cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. at the same level as the prior year. If such prepayment is not ultimately paid within the fiscal year, the effective tax rate would be favorably impacted by up to $7.5 million. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our corporate tax structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate and a $1.8 million tax benefit related to research and development (R&D) triggered by a retroactive extension of the R&D tax credit enacted in the first quarter of 2011.

We have net deferred tax assets ($121.9 million as of September 30, 2011) primarily relating to our U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In arriving at this conclusion, we evaluated all available evidence, including our cumulative profitability on a pre-tax basis for the last three years (adjusted for permanent differences) which includes the results of taking certain tax planning actions. We have taken and will continue to take measures to improve core earnings in the U.S. If our U.S. results do not improve, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets may be required. We will continue to reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. We regularly assess the likelihood of additional assessments by tax authorities and provide for these matters as appropriate. We are currently under audit by tax authorities in several foreign jurisdictions. Audits by tax authorities typically involve examination of the deductibility of certain permanent items, limitations on net operating losses and tax credits. Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in material changes in our estimates.

Our future effective income tax rate may be materially impacted by the amount of income taxes associated with our foreign earnings, which are taxed at rates different from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, as well as the timing and extent of the realization of deferred tax assets and changes in the tax law. Further, our tax rate may fluctuate within a fiscal year, including from quarter to quarter, due to items arising from discrete events, including settlements of tax audits and assessments, the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties, expiration of statute of limitations and acquisitions of other companies.

Income and Margins; Earnings per Share

As shown in the table below, our operating income and operating margins in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 increased compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, primarily due to higher revenue and improved operating margins described in Revenue and Costs and Expenses above.

The non-GAAP measures presented in the discussion of our results of operations and the respective most directly comparable GAAP measures are:

• non-GAAP revenue—GAAP revenue

• non-GAAP gross margin—GAAP gross margin

• non-GAAP operating income—GAAP operating income

• non-GAAP net income—GAAP net income

• non-GAAP operating margin—GAAP operating margin

• non-GAAP diluted earnings per share—GAAP diluted earnings per share

The non-GAAP measures exclude a fair value adjustment related to MKS deferred maintenance revenue, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, one-time charges included in non-operating other income (expense), net and the related tax effects of the preceding items, and any one-time tax items. These expenses and charges are normally included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management excludes these revenue and cost items when evaluating our ongoing performance and/or predicting our earnings trends, and therefore excludes them when presenting non-GAAP financial

35

measures. Management uses, and investors should consider, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.

Fair value of acquired MKS deferred maintenance revenue is a purchase accounting adjustment recorded to reduce acquired deferred maintenance revenue to the fair value of the remaining obligation.

Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense relating to stock-based awards issued to executive officers, employees and outside directors, primarily consisting of restricted stock and restricted stock units.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets expense is a non-cash expense that is impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions.

Acquisition-related charges are costs that are included in general and administrative expenses and include direct costs of acquisitions and expenses related to acquisition integration activities, including transaction fees, due diligence costs, severance, and professional fees, including legal and accounting costs related to the acquisition and integration of the acquisition. These costs are not considered part of our normal operations as the occurrence and amount will vary depending on the timing and size of acquisitions and the level of integration activity undertaken.

Restructuring charges are costs incurred in a period related to strategies to reduce costs and to realign our business, including costs related to employee terminations and costs of excess facilities.

We use these non-GAAP measures, and we believe that they assist our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operational performance because they provide a view of our operating results without items that are not, in our view, indicative of our core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business, and we use the measures to establish budgets and operational goals (communicated internally and externally) for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to the results of peer companies. In addition, compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures.

The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results and such items often recur. Accordingly, the non-GAAP measures included in this Quarterly Report should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded $0.8 million of foreign currency transaction losses related to MKS legal entity mergers completed during the quarter. In the third quarter of 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we had entered into forward contracts to reduce our foreign currency exposure related to changes in the Canadian to U.S. Dollar exchange rate from the time we entered into the agreement in early April to acquire MKS (the purchase price was in Canadian Dollars) and the closing date which occurred on May 31, 2011. We realized foreign currency losses of $4.4 million recorded as other expense related to the acquisition. In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded $0.7 million of foreign currency losses related to a previously announced litigation settlement in Japan.

(2) Income tax adjustments reflect the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, which are calculated by applying the applicable tax rate by jurisdiction to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above, as well as one-time non-cash charges including (i) $3.3 million, net, in the third quarter of 2012, primarily related to a $4.2 million charge as a result of acquired legal entity integration activities, and (ii) a $1.4 million charge in the first quarter of 2012 related to the impact of a reduction in the statutory tax rate in Japan on deferred tax assets from a litigation settlement.

Cash (used) provided by financing activities	(100,078		)	212,569

Cash and cash equivalents

We invest our cash with highly rated financial institutions and in diversified domestic and international money market mutual funds. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At June 30, 2012 cash and cash equivalents totaled $238.0 million, up from $167.9 million at September 30, 2011 due primarily to $197.0 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2012, offset by $60 million, net, of cash used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility, $22.5 million of cash used for capital expenditures and $35.0 million of cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock.

Cash provided by operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $197.0 million in the first nine months of 2012, compared to $78.7 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2011. The first nine months of 2011 included the resolution of a litigation matter that reduced our cash balance by approximately $48 million during that period, including $52.1 million paid to settle the matter. Excluding the impact of the litigation settlement in the first nine months of 2011, cash provided by operations improved in the first nine months of 2012 due primarily to collections on accounts receivables, which had a $24 million favorable impact in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the first nine months of 2011, and improved profitability (non-

38

GAAP operating income for the first nine months of 2012 of $167.2 million compared to $129.1 million for the comparable prior year period), partially offset by $15.2 million of total restructuring payments made during the second and third quarters of 2012. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding was 59 days at the end of the third quarter of 2012 compared to 62 days as of September 30, 2011 and 56 days at the end of the third quarter of 2011.

	$	(100,078	)	$	212,569

In the third quarter of 2012, we repaid $20 million under our credit facility and we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock under our repurchase program. Stock option exercises in the first nine months of 2012 totaled 1.5 million compared to 1.6 million in the first nine months of 2011. As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately 1.3 million stock options outstanding. These options expire on various dates, including 0.6 million in 2013 and 0.7 million in 2014. We expect substantially all of the options, including those held by our executives, to be exercised prior to their respective expiration dates.

Credit Facility

We have a revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate, under which we may borrow funds up to $300 million (with an accordion feature that allows us to borrow up to an additional $150 million if the existing or additional lenders agree), repay the same in whole or in part, and re-borrow at any time through September 30, 2016, when all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full.

In 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we borrowed $250 million under the credit facility, $50 million of which we repaid in the fourth quarter of 2011. As of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, we had $200 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility. During the first quarter of 2011, we borrowed an additional $40 million under the revolving credit facility for short-term cash requirements, including the payment of fiscal 2011 incentive compensation, which we repaid by the end of the first quarter. We repaid a total of $60 million of borrowings outstanding under the credit facility in the second and third quarters of 2012 and had a remaining balance of $140.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2012.

The credit facility limits PTC's and its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends (other than to PTC) and make other distributions; make investments and enter into joint ventures; dispose of assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates, except on an arms-length basis. Under the credit

39

facility, PTC and its material domestic subsidiaries may not invest cash or property in, or loan to, PTC's foreign subsidiaries in aggregate amounts exceeding $50 million for any purpose and an additional $75 million for acquisitions of businesses. In addition, under the credit facility, PTC and its subsidiaries must maintain the following financial ratios:

• a leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 at any time; and

• a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA less consolidated capital expenditures to consolidated fixed charges, of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 at any time.

As of June 30, 2012, our leverage ratio was 0.55 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.24 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of June 30, 2012.

For a description of additional terms and conditions of the credit facility, including limitations on our ability to undertake certain actions, see Note 12. Long Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Share Repurchases

Our Board of Directors has periodically authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock. We are currently authorized to repurchase up to $100 million worth of shares with cash from operations in the period October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, we repurchased 1.0 million shares at a cost of $20.0 million and 1.6 million at a cost of $35.0 million, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, we repurchased 1.8 million shares at a cost of $39.9 million. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued. Future repurchases of shares will reduce our cash balances.

Expectations for 2012

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital (including the year-to-date restructuring charges of $24.9 million million, $15.2 million of which was paid in the second and third quarters of 2012) and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term capital requirements. Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2012 are currently anticipated to be approximately $7 million. In addition, we expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the remainder of 2012 to repurchase $20 million worth of shares of our common stock and to repay an additional $10 million of the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, possible strategic transactions on an ongoing basis and at any given time may be engaged in discussions or negotiations with respect to possible strategic transactions. Our expected uses of cash could change, our cash position could be reduced and we may incur additional debt obligations to the extent we complete any significant acquisitions.

At June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $82.9 million in Europe, $50.7 million in the United States, $61.8 million in the Pacific Rim (including India), $26.3 million in Japan and $16.4 million in other non-U.S. countries. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had an outstanding intercompany loan receivable of $294.4 million and $334.5 million, respectively, owed to the U.S. from our top tier foreign subsidiary, primarily resulting from legal entity reorganizations completed in 2010 and 2011 in support of tax and cash planning. This amount can be repaid with cash generated by our foreign subsidiaries and repatriated to the U.S. without future tax cost.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial information included in Item 1 reflects no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as set forth under the heading Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II, Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than described below, we did not make any changes to these policies or to these estimates during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable segment was $771.4 million and $806.0 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment was $28.4 million and $29.4 million, respectively. We test goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting segment below its carrying value. Acquired intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

Our goodwill impairment assessment was based on the new guidance prescribed in ASU 2011-8 as described in Note 1. Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. On July 2, 2011, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit was approximately double its carrying value or higher. Because our fair value was well in excess

40

of our carrying value on that date and there are no other indicators that our goodwill has become impaired since that date, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be greater than its carrying amount no additional testing will be performed. If we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the two step impairment test will be performed. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

We completed our goodwill annual impairment review as of June 30, 2012 based on a qualitative assessment. Our qualitative assessment included company specific (financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, as well as a sensitivity analysis of key model assumptions. Based on our qualitative assessment, we believe it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of our reporting units exceed their carrying values and no further impairment testing is required.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposure as described in Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We currently believe that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any of these legal matters be resolved against us, the operating results for a particular reporting period could be adversely affected.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors described in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Deferred Revenue And Financing Receivables

Deferred Revenue And Financing Receivables [Abstract]

Deferred Revenue And Financing Receivables

Deferred Revenue and Financing Receivables

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to software maintenance agreements billed to customers for which the services have not yet been provided. The liability associated with performing these services is included in deferred revenue and, if not yet paid, the related customer receivable is included in other current assets. Billed but uncollected maintenance-related amounts included in other current assets at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were $72.3 million and $93.0 million, respectively.

Financing Receivables

We periodically provide extended payment terms for software purchases to credit-worthy customers with payment terms up to 24 months. The determination of whether to offer such payment terms is based on the size, nature and credit-worthiness of the customer, and the history of collecting amounts due, without concession, from the customer and customers generally. This determination is based on an internal credit assessment. In making this assessment, we use the Standard & Poor's (S&P) credit rating as our primary credit quality indicator, if available. If a customer, including both commercial and U.S. Federal government, has a S&P bond rating of BBB- or above, we designate the customer as a Tier 1. If a customer does not have a S&P bond rating, or has a S&P bond rating below BBB-, we base our assessment on an internal credit assessment which considers selected balance sheet, operating and liquidity measures, historical payment experience, and current business conditions within the industry or region. We designate these customers as Tier 2 or Tier 3, with Tier 3 being lower credit quality than Tier 2.

As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, amounts due from customers for contracts with original payment terms greater than twelve months (financing receivables) totaled $39.1 million and $57.9 million, respectively. Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets included current receivables from such contracts totaling $28.8 million and $41.9 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets included long-term receivables from such contracts totaling $10.3 million and $16.0 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, $0.4 million of these receivables were past due (of which $0.4 million was greater than 90 days past due). None of these receivables were past due as of September 30, 2011. Our credit risk assessment for financing receivables was as follows:

	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011
	(in thousands)
S&P bond rating BBB-1 and above-Tier 1	$	28,606	$	38,575
Internal Credit Assessment-Tier 2	8,933		17,568
Internal Credit Assessment-Tier 3	1,583		1,798
Total financing receivables	$	39,122	$	57,941

We evaluate the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of these customers to make required payments. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we concluded that all financing receivables were collectible and no reserve for credit losses was recorded. We did not provide a reserve for credit losses or write off any uncollectible financing receivables in the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and fiscal year 2011. We write off uncollectible trade and financing receivables when we have exhausted all collection avenues.

We periodically transfer future payments under certain of these contracts to third-party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. We record such transfers as sales of the related accounts receivable when we surrender control of such receivables. We sold $0.6 million and $1.8 million of financing receivables to third-party financial institutions in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We sold $4.0 million financing receivables to third-party financial institutions in the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011.

Basis Of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate in order to make the information not misleading, these unaudited quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a year mean our fiscal year, which ends on September 30. The September 30, 2011 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-8, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-8). Under the update, an entity has the option, but is not required, to first assess qualitative factors (“Qualitative Assessment” or QA”) to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing facts and circumstances in the aggregate, an entity determines it does not fail the QA, then performing the traditional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Otherwise, an entity is required to proceed to the first step of the goodwill impairment test as outlined in ASC Topic 350. The objective of the Update is to simplify the requirement to test goodwill for impairment and was issued in response to preparer concerns about the cost and complexity of performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Update can be applied for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  As permitted, we elected to early adopt this new guidance in conducting our annual impairment analysis in the third quarter of 2012 as described in Note 7.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

We operate within a single industry segment—computer software and related services. Operating segments as defined under GAAP are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our President and Chief Executive Officer. We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Software Products, which includes license and related maintenance revenue (including updates and technical support) for all our products except training-related products; and (2) Services, which includes consulting, implementation, training, computer-based training products, including maintenance on these products, and other support revenue. In our consolidated statements of operations, maintenance revenue is included in service revenue. We do not allocate sales and marketing or administrative expenses to our operating segments as these activities are managed on a consolidated basis.

The revenue and operating income attributable to our operating segments are summarized as follows:

Total operating income	$	31,083		$	24,530		$	70,491		$	65,866

(1) We recorded restructuring charges of $4.1 million and $24.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively. Software Products included $0.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively; Services included $0.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively; sales and marketing expenses included $2.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively; and general and administrative expenses included $0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of these restructuring charges.

(2) In the first quarter of 2011, we made a strategic decision to enter into a contract with a customer in the automotive industry for which we expected our costs to exceed our revenue by approximately $5 million. Services segment operating income in the first three months of 2011 included immediate recognition of the approximately $5 million estimated loss on this contract.

We report revenue by product group, Desktop and Enterprise. Desktop revenue includes our CAD Solutions, primarily Creo Parametric, Creo Elements/Direct, Mathcad and Arbortext authoring products. Enterprise revenue includes our PLM solutions, primarily Windchill, Arbortext enterprise products, Creo View and Integrity.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, our effective tax rate was a provision of 26% on pre-tax income of $30.8 million, and 25% on pre-tax income of $64.6 million, respectively, compared to a provision of 15% on pre-tax income of $18.3 million and 16% on pre-tax income of $56.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively. In the first nine months of 2012, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. The third quarter of 2012 provision includes a discrete non-cash charge of $4.2 million. This charge was recorded due to the restructuring of our Canadian operations that resulted in a change in the tax status of the foreign legal entity. Our provision in the first nine months of 2012 also includes the expiration on December 31, 2011 of the research and development (R&D) credit in the U.S. and a discrete non-cash charge of $1.5 million related to the impact of a Japanese legislative change, enacted in the first quarter, on our Japan entity's deferred tax assets. Additionally, we expect to make a R&D cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. at the same level as the prior year. If such prepayment is not ultimately paid within the fiscal year, the effective tax rate would be favorably impacted by up to $7.5 million. In the first nine months of 2011, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our corporate tax structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate and a $1.8 million tax benefit related to R&D credits in the U.S. triggered by a retroactive extension of the R&D tax credit enacted in the first quarter of 2011.

We have net deferred tax assets ($121.9 million as of September 30, 2011) primarily relating to our U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In arriving at this conclusion, we evaluated all available evidence, including our cumulative profitability on a pre-tax basis for the last three years (adjusted for permanent differences) which includes the results of taking certain tax planning actions. We have taken and will continue to take measures to improve core earnings in the U.S. If our U.S. results do not improve, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets may be required. We will continue to reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period.

As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $16.4 million ($16.1 million net of state tax benefits) and $16.2 million ($15.9 million net of state tax benefits), respectively. If all of our unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2012 were to become recognizable in the future, we would record a $15.2 million benefit to the income tax provision.

Our policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of our income tax provision. In the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 we included $0.2 million of interest expense, and $0.1 million of tax penalty expense in our income tax provision. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 we had accrued $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of estimated interest expense and we had $0.1 million of accrued tax penalties as of June 30, 2012. Changes in our unrecognized tax benefits in the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

	(in millions)
Balance as of October 1, 2011	$	16.2
Tax positions related to current year	1.2
Tax positions related to prior years	0.4
Statute expirations	(1.4		)
Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	16.4

Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in favorable or unfavorable changes in our estimates. We believe it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest related to the resolution of multi-jurisdictional tax positions could be reduced by up to $6 million as audits close and statutes expire.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service in the United States. As of June 30, 2012, we remained subject to examination in the following major tax jurisdictions for the tax years indicated:

Major Tax Jurisdiction	Open Years
United States	2009 through 2011
Germany	2007 through 2011
France	2007 through 2011
Japan	2006 through 2011

Earnings Per Share (EPS) And Common Stock

Earnings per Share (EPS) and Common Stock

EPS

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted stock, although legally issued and outstanding, is not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic EPS. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options, restricted shares and RSUs using the treasury stock method. The calculation of the dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards under the treasury stock method includes consideration of proceeds from the assumed exercise of stock options, unrecognized compensation expense and any tax benefits as additional proceeds.

Stock options to purchase 0.1 million shares for the first nine months of 2012 and 0.1 million shares for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were outstanding but were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because the exercise prices per share were greater than the average market price of our common stock for those periods. These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Common Stock Repurchases

Our Articles of Organization authorize us to issue up to 500 million shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $100 million worth of shares with cash from operations in the period October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, we repurchased 1.0 million shares at a cost of $20.0 million and 1.6 million at a cost of $35.0 million, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, we repurchased 1.8 million shares at a cost of $39.9 million. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued.

Share-based Compensation, Allocation and Classification in Financial Statements [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for restricted stock and restricted stock unit (RSU) awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

Our equity incentive plan provides for grants of nonqualified and incentive stock options, common stock, restricted stock, RSUs and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors, officers and consultants. We award restricted stock and RSUs as the principal equity incentive awards, including certain performance-based awards that are earned based on achievement of performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of our common stock.

Our equity incentive plans are described more fully in Note K to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

Long Term Debt

Revolving Credit Agreement

We have a multi-currency bank revolving credit facility (the credit facility) with a syndicate of ten banks for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Administrative Agent. The credit facility matures on September 30, 2016, when all amounts will be due and payable in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be paid before maturity in whole or in part at PTC’s option without penalty or premium. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of other businesses, and may also use it for working capital.

The credit facility consists of a $300 million revolving credit facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $150 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments (such increase may also be used, in whole or in part, for term loans). PTC is the sole borrower under the credit facility. The obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by PTC’s material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting equity interests of PTC’s material first-tier foreign subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for the obligations.

In May 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we borrowed $250 million under the credit facility at a variable interest rate which resets every 30 to 180 days, depending on the rate and period selected. The annual rate in effect as of June 30, 2012 is 1.75%, which will reset on August 22, 2012 to then current rates as defined below. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 we had $140 million and $200 million, respectively, outstanding under the credit facility. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we borrowed and then repaid $40 million under the credit facility for short term cash requirements. Additionally, in the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we repaid$60 million under the credit facility.

Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility range from 1.25% to 1.625% above an adjusted LIBO rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or would range from 0.25% to 0.625% above the defined base rate (the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.005%, or an adjusted LIBO rate plus 1%) for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon PTC’s leverage ratio. Additionally, PTC may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest rates for those currencies, based on PTC’s leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility is required, ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum, based upon PTC’s leverage ratio.

The credit facility limits PTC’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends (other than to PTC) and make other distributions; make investments and enter into joint ventures; dispose of assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates, except on an arms-length basis. Under the credit facility, PTC and its material domestic subsidiaries may not invest cash or property in, or loan to, PTC’s foreign subsidiaries in aggregate amounts exceeding $50 million for any purpose and an additional $75 million for acquisitions of businesses. In addition, under the credit facility, PTC and its subsidiaries must maintain the following financial ratios:

• a leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 at any time; and

• a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA less consolidated capital expenditures to consolidated fixed charges, of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 at any time.

As of June 30, 2012, our leverage ratio was 0.55 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.24 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of June 30, 2012.

Any failure to comply with the financial or operating covenants of the credit facility would prevent PTC from being able to borrow additional funds, and would constitute a default, permitting the lenders to, among other things, accelerate the amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, under the credit facility and to terminate the credit facility. A change in control of PTC, as defined in the agreement, also constitutes an event of default, permitting the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the credit facility.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. Generally accepted accounting principles prescribe a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

• Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were as follows:

	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011

Acquisition

Acquisitions

In 2011, we completed the acquisitions of MKS and 4CS described more fully in Note E to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions added $20.3 million and $61.0 million to our revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Acquisition-related costs were $0 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $6.0 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011, respectively. Acquisition related costs include charges related to acquisition integration activities (i.e., severance and professional fees). These costs have been classified in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

4CS

On September 2, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS) for $14.9 million in cash (net of $0.1 million of cash acquired). 4CS's results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning September 3, 2011. Our results of operations prior to this acquisition, if presented on a pro forma basis, would not differ materially from our reported results.

As of September 30, 2011, we had recorded a liability for an additional $1.2 million of contingent purchase price included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. In the nine months ended June 30, 2012, this amount was fully earned and paid. Any further adjustments that could lower the purchase price in accordance with contingent provisions in the acquisition agreement are not anticipated to be material.

MKS

On May 31, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of MKS Inc. (MKS) for $265.2 million, net of $33.2 million of cash acquired. MKS's results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning May 31, 2011.

The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of PTC and MKS, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of PTC's fiscal year 2010. The pro forma information presented includes the effects of business combination accounting resulting from the acquisition, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation charges for unvested stock options, interest expense on borrowings in connection with the acquisition, and the related tax effects as though the acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of 2010. These pro forma results exclude the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment to deferred revenue and the transaction costs included in the historical results and the related tax effects. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2010. The pro forma financial information is based on PTC's results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2011, combined with MKS's results of operations for the two and eight months ended May 31, 2011.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill And Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We have two operating segments: (1) Software Products and (2) Services. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are determined based on the components of our operating segments that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management. Our reporting units are consistent with our operating segments. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable segment was $771.4 million and $806.0 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment was $28.4 million and $29.4 million, respectively. We test goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting segment below its carrying value. Acquired intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

Our goodwill impairment assessment was based on the new guidance prescribed in ASU 2011-8 as described in Note 1. On July 2, 2011, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit was approximately double its carrying value or higher. Because our fair value was well in excess of our carrying value on that date and there are no other indicators that our goodwill has become impaired since that date, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be greater than its carrying amount no additional testing will be performed. If we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the two step impairment test will be performed. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

We completed our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 30, 2012 based on a qualitative assessment. Our qualitative assessment included company specific (financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, as well as a sensitivity analysis of key model assumptions. Based on our qualitative assessment, we believe it is more-likely-than-not that the fair values of our reporting units exceed their carrying values and no further impairment testing is required.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets consisted of the following:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the value of transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency forward contracts with maturities of up to three months, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that arise primarily from our foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables.

Generally, we do not designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into forward contracts only as an economic hedge, any gain or loss on the underlying foreign-denominated balance would be offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in other income (expense), net.

As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

Currency Hedged	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011
	(in thousands)
Canadian Dollar / U.S. Dollar	$	82,188	$	92,748

British Pound / Euro	5,622		3,993
All other	7,199		7,350
Total	$	155,530	$	212,932

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include a net liability of $1.0 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of June 30, 2012, and a net asset of $5.5 million in other current assets as of September 30, 2011 related to the fair value of our forward contracts.

Net gains and losses on foreign currency exposures are recorded in other income (expense), net and include realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts. Net gains and losses on foreign currency exposures for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 were as follows:

Restructuring [Abstract]

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Restructuring Charges

In the second quarter of 2012, as part of our strategy to reduce costs and to realign our business, we implemented a restructuring of our business and recorded restructuring charges of $20.8 million. The restructuring charges included $20.0 million for severance and related costs associated with 168 employees notified of termination during the second quarter of 2012 and $0.8 million of charges related to excess facilities. The second quarter employee terminations triggered a curtailment of a non-U.S. pension plan and interim remeasurement of the pension plan's assets and liabilities. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease in the plan's net unrecognized losses of $1.2 million, which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income net of tax.

In the third quarter of 2012, we implemented further cost reductions and recorded restructuring charges of $4.1 million. The restructuring charges included $4.5 million for severance and related costs associated with 41 employees notified of termination during the third quarter of 2012 and a $0.4 million benefit related to excess facilities as a result of exiting a restructured facility earlier than originally estimated.

The following table summarizes restructuring accrual activity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012:

	Three months ended June 30, 2012									Nine months ended June 30, 2012

Legal and Regulatory Matters

China Investigation

We have undertaken an investigation of payments by certain business partners and expenses by certain employees in China that raise questions of compliance with laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and/or compliance with our business policies. The termination of certain employees and business partners in China in connection with this matter may have an adverse impact on our level of sales in China until such replacements for those employees and business partners are in place and productive. Revenue from China has historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue. We have voluntarily disclosed the results of our investigation and associated remedial actions to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission and are cooperating to provide additional information as requested. We are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or to estimate fines or other sanctions which may be assessed.

Other Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that resolving the legal proceedings and claims that we are currently subject to will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any of these legal proceedings and claims be resolved against us, the operating results for a particular reporting period could be adversely affected.

Accruals

With respect to legal proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For legal proceedings and claims for which the likelihood that a liability has been incurred is more than remote but less than probable, we estimate the range of possible outcomes. As of both June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had a legal proceedings and claims accrual of $0.4 million.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of our business. Pursuant to such agreements with our business partners or customers, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and we accordingly believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

We warrant that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products for a specified period of time. Additionally, we generally warrant that our consulting services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards. In most cases, liability for these warranties is capped. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history; however, we have not incurred significant cost under our product or services warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.
