PART I

ITEM 1. Business

Overview

Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) develops, markets and supports solutions that help companies design products, manage product information and improve their product development processes. Our software solutions help customers increase innovation, improve product quality, decrease time to market, and reduce product development costs.

We offer solutions in the product lifecycle management, or PLM, market (product data management, collaboration and related solutions) and the CAx market (computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD, CAM and CAE) solutions). 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.

We recently acquired MKS Inc., a global application lifecycle management (ALM) technology leader. MKS’s flagship product, MKS Integrity^®, coordinates and manages all activities and artifacts associated with developing software intensive products (including requirements, models, code and test) and ensuring comprehensive lifecycle traceability. By unifying MKS’s ALM solutions with PTC’s industry-leading PLM solutions, PTC will enable manufacturers to better align the management of a product’s hardware components and related software.

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 PLM, ALM and the CAx markets we serve present different growth opportunities for us. We believe the market among large businesses for PLM and ALM solutions (which we refer to as our “Enterprise Solutions”) presents the greatest opportunity for revenue growth for us and that revenue from this market will constitute an increasingly greater proportion of our revenue over time. We believe that the market for our CAx solutions (which we refer to as our “Desktop Solutions”) among small- and medium-size businesses also provides an opportunity for future growth. Conversely, the market for our CAx solutions among large businesses is highly penetrated and presents a lower growth opportunity for us. However, we believe that our Creo product suite, which we released in June 2011, has created an opportunity for us in this market to grow at rates higher than we’ve experienced in recent years.

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

1

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.

Our Principal Products and Services

We report our revenue by product groupings—Desktop and Enterprise—and by distribution channel—Direct and Indirect.

Enterprise revenue includes our PLM solutions, primarily: Windchill^® (including Relex^® and InSight^TM , now branded Windchill Quality Solutions and Windchill Product Analytics Solutions, respectively), Arbortext^® enterprise products, Creo View^TM (formerly ProductView^®), and Integrity^®. Desktop revenue includes our CAx Solutions: Creo, including Creo Parametric^TM (formerly Pro/ENGINEER^®) and Creo Elements/Direct ^TM (formerly CoCreate^®), Arbortext authoring products, and Mathcad^®. 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.

Enterprise Solutions

Our Enterprise Solutions addresses common challenges that companies, and in particular manufacturing companies, face in their product development processes, including managing data over the life of the product, communication and collaboration with the extended enterprise, portfolio management, change management, regulatory compliance, technical and marketing documentation, heterogeneity of systems, and product service and maintenance requirements. Our principal Enterprise Solutions are described below.

Windchill^® solutions are a family of sophisticated, internet-based content and process management solutions for managing complex data and relationships, processes and publications, including:

• Collaboration solutions that connect a company’s employees, partners, suppliers and customers through internet-based workspaces;

• Product data management and process solutions that manage all product-related content and improve product development processes;

• Product analytics solutions that optimize product performance across multiple dimensions; and

• Quality solutions that manage product performance, reliability and safety.

Arbortext^® Enterprise Solutions enable our customers to manage complex information assets that enhance their customer support and service center information delivery processes. Optimized for managing XML-based structured content and 2D and 3D technical illustrations created using our Arbortext authoring products, these solutions support collaboration by geographically dispersed teams and manage critical processes such as configuration management and the release of multilingual and multichannel technical documentation. The solutions consist of a Windchill-based content and configuration management system that manages the XML components, illustrations and related localized content components and a dynamic publishing server that produces output automatically in the format and language required by the user.

We are also developing a new generation of solutions that leverage Arbortext capabilities for creating technical information. These solutions targeted for the service lifecycle management (SLM) market are designed to support the growing needs of service organizations within our core manufacturing customers by ensuring that updates in product development are reflected in real-time service and spare parts information throughout the product’s service lifecycle. These solutions will include capabilities for delivering service content based on Windchill and Creo software previously released with Windchill 10.0 and Creo 1.0 (Windchill Service Information Manager, Windchill Service Parts and Creo Illustrate). The solutions will also include capabilities for warranty management and product support processes, which will be based on the applications we acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 with our acquisition of 4C Solutions, Inc.

2

Creo View™ (formerly ProductView™) solutions enable enterprise-wide visualization, verification, annotation and automated comparison of a wide variety of product development data formats, including MCAD (2D and 3D), ECAD, and documents. These solutions provide lightweight access to product designs and related data without requiring the original authoring tool. Formerly known as ProductView, Creo View was renamed in connection with the product launch of our new product, Creo, described below.

Integrity^® coordinates and manages all activities and artifacts associated with developing software-intensive products (including requirements, models, code and test) and with ensuring comprehensive lifecycle traceability. The addition of Integrity to PTC’s PLM solutions is intended to reshape the way manufacturers integrate product hardware and software, and to enable them to improve product quality, accelerate time-to-market, and reduce risk and total service costs.

Desktop Solutions

Our Desktop Solutions include our integrated Creo software suite (excluding Creo View), our Mathcad^® engineering calculations software and our Arbortext document authoring tools.

We launched the Creo product family in June 2011. Creo was developed to remedy problems that were not being addressed by mechanical CAD tools: usability, interoperability, assembly management and technology bias. Leveraging technology assets unique to PTC, Creo is a scalable suite of interoperable, open, and easy-to-use product design applications that provide the right-size solution for each participant in the design process. Creo offers upwards compatibility with other PTC products. In addition to Creo Parametric (described below), several standalone applications deliver new capabilities for 2D and 3D CAD modeling, analysis and visualization. Creo also provides an unprecedented level of interoperability to ensure that data can be easily shared between teams both internally and externally.

Our principal Creo products and our other principal Desktop Solutions are described below.

Creo Parametric (formerly Pro/ENGINEER^®) is a family of three-dimensional product design solutions based on a parametric, feature-based solid modeler that enables changes made during the design process to be associatively updated throughout the design. Designers can use Creo Parametric for detailed design (CAD), manufacturing/production (CAM), and simulation/analysis (CAE), as well as for exchanging CAD data with a multitude of sources and in varied standard formats, allowing them to create more innovative, differentiated and functional products quickly and easily. Creo Parametric can improve product quality and reduce time to market by enabling users to evaluate multiple design alternatives and to share data with bi-directional associativity.

Creo Elements/Direct (formerly CoCreate^®) is a family of explicit CAD and collaboration software that enables customers pursuing a lightweight and flexible design strategy to meet short design cycles and to create product designs quickly. Creo Elements/Direct’s explicit modeling approach enables product development teams to create and modify 3D product designs quickly. This fast and lightweight design approach gives designers flexibility to make changes to a product design late in the development process and the ability to work with multi-source CAD data. Creo Elements/Direct enables users to reduce design cycle time, improve workgroup collaboration through an integrated data management system and decrease product development costs.

Mathcad ^® is an engineering calculation software solution that combines a computational engine, accessed through conventional math notation, with a full-featured word processor and graphing tools. Mathcad allows customers to develop and document the engineering calculations related to their designs and predict the behavior of a Creo model, which can then be validated using our Creo Parametric CAE solutions. This approach can help our customers speed time to market by significantly reducing the number of iterations necessary to complete a design. In addition, when combined with our Windchill solutions, the valuable intellectual property captured in Mathcad can be managed and shared securely with others for reuse and for regulatory compliance.

3

Arbortext authoring products Arbortext Editor™ and Arbortext IsoDraw^® are designed to help customers improve documentation accuracy, speed time to market, reduce translation requirements and lower publishing costs.

Maintenance Services

We offer maintenance support plans for our software products. Participating customers receive new releases and updates that we make generally available to our maintenance services customers, and also have direct access to our global technical support team of certified engineers for issue resolution. We also provide self-service support tools that allow our customers access to extensive technical support information.

Consulting and Training Services

We offer consulting, implementation and training services through our Global Services Organization, with nearly 1,500 professionals worldwide, as well as through third-party resellers and other strategic partners. Our services create value by helping customers improve product development performance through technology enabled process improvement.

Geographic and Segment Information

We have two reportable segments: Software Products, which includes license and related maintenance services revenue for all our products except training-related products, and Services, which includes consulting, implementation, training and computer-based training products, including related maintenance services. Financial information about our international and domestic operations, including by segment, may be found in Note N of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Research and Development

We invest heavily in research and development on an ongoing basis to improve the quality and expand the functionality of our products. Approximately one third of our employees are dedicated to research and development initiatives, conducted primarily in the United States, Israel and India.

Our research and development expenses were $211.4 million in 2011, $201.6 million in 2010 and $188.5 million in 2009. Additional information about our research and development expenditures may be found in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Costs and Expenses—Research and Development” of this Annual Report.

Sales and Marketing

We derive most of our revenue from products and services sold directly by our sales force to end-user customers. We also sell products and services through third-party resellers and other strategic partners. 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. Our strategic services partners provide product and/or service offerings that complement our offerings.

Competition

We compete primarily in the product development market, including the PLM, ALM and CAx markets. We compete with a number of companies that offer solutions that address one or more specific functional areas covered by our solutions, including: Dassault Systemes SA and Siemens AG for traditional CAx solutions, PLM

4

solutions, manufacturing planning solutions and visualization and digital mock-up solutions; Oracle Corporation and SAP AG for PLM solutions; and IBM Corporation for ALM solutions. We believe our PLM solutions are more specifically targeted toward the product development processes within manufacturing companies and offer broader and deeper functionality for those processes than ERP-based solutions.

We also compete in the CAx market with design products such as Autodesk, Inc.’s Inventor, Siemens AG’s Solid Edge and Dassault Systemes SA’s SolidWorks for sales to smaller manufacturing customers.

Proprietary Rights

Our software products and related technical know-how, along with our trademarks, including our company names, product names and logos, are proprietary. We protect our intellectual property rights in these items by relying on copyrights, trademarks, patents and common law safeguards, including trade secret protection. The nature and extent of such legal protection depends in part on the type of intellectual property right and the relevant jurisdiction. In the U.S., we are generally able to maintain our trademark registrations for as long as the trademarks are in use and to maintain our patents for up to 20 years from the earliest effective filing date. We also use license management and other anti-piracy technology measures, as well as contractual restrictions, to curtail the unauthorized use and distribution of our products.

Our proprietary rights are subject to risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below. You should read that discussion, which is incorporated into this section by reference.

Backlog

We generally ship our products within 30 days after receipt of a customer order. A high percentage of our license revenue historically has been generated in the third month of each fiscal quarter, and this revenue tends to be concentrated in the latter part of that month. Accordingly, orders may exist at the end of a quarter that have not been shipped and not been recognized as revenue. We do not believe that our backlog at any particular point in time is indicative of future sales levels.

Employees

As of September 30, 2011, we had 6,122 employees, including 2,060 in product development; 1,957 in customer support, training and consulting; 1,508 in sales and marketing; and 597 in general and administration and product distribution. Of these employees, 2,191 were located in the United States and 3,931 were located outside the United States.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The following are important factors we have identified that could affect our future results. You should consider them carefully when evaluating forward-looking statements made by us, including those contained in this Annual Report, because these factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

I. Operational Considerations

Our operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter making future operating results difficult to predict.

Our quarterly operating results historically have fluctuated and are likely to continue to fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including:

• a high percentage of our revenue historically has been generated in the third month of each fiscal quarter and any failure to receive, complete or process orders at the end of any quarter could cause us to fall short of our revenue targets;

• a growing percentage of our revenue comes from our PLM solutions, which tend to be sold in larger deals with longer lead times that are less predictable;

• our operating expenses are based on expected revenues and any failure to achieve our revenue targets could cause us to fall short of our earnings targets as well;

• our mix of license and service revenues can vary from quarter to quarter, creating variability in our operating margins;

• because a significant portion of our revenue comes from outside the U.S. and a significant portion of our expense structure is located internationally, shifts in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our reported results; and

• we may incur significant expenses in a quarter in connection with corporate development initiatives, restructuring efforts or our investigation, defense or settlement of legal actions that would increase our operating expenses and reduce our earnings for the quarter in which those expenses are incurred.

Accordingly, our quarterly results are difficult to predict prior to the end of the quarter and we may be unable to confirm or adjust expectations with respect to our operating results for a particular quarter until that quarter has closed. Any failure to meet our quarterly revenue or earnings targets could adversely impact the market price of our stock.

Economic weakness in the United States and globally may adversely affect our business.

The past three years have been characterized by weak global economic conditions, tight credit markets, reduced liquidity, and extreme volatility in many financial markets. We experienced a significant decline in revenue in 2009 in all geographic regions in which we operate as customers reduced or deferred purchases of our

6

products and services. Although revenue increased year over year in each of 2010 and 2011, the economic environment remains uncertain. If the economic environment does not improve or deteriorates, our business may be unfavorably impacted.

Competition is intensifying, which may reduce our profits and limit or reduce our market share.

The market for product development solutions is rapidly changing and increasingly competitive. We expect competition to intensify, which could result in price reductions for our products and services, reduced margins and loss of market share. Our primary competition comes from:

• larger companies that offer PLM and/or CAx solutions;

• larger, more well-known enterprise software providers who have extended, or may seek to extend, the functionality of their products to encompass PLM or who may develop and/or purchase PLM technology; and

• other vendors of various CAx and/or PLM point solutions.

The CAx market is characterized by intense competition for customers. The nature of this market (which is relatively mature and whose growth has slowed) and the number and nature of the competitive products (which have increasingly similar functionality) make it difficult to gain new customers. Moreover, decreasing product differentiation and the training, data conversion and other startup costs associated with system replacement make it more difficult to dislodge incumbent design systems. Although we saw increased revenue from this market in 2011 following the introduction of our new suite of Creo CAD solutions, demand for Creo may decline as customers complete purchases of Creo sufficient for their operations, which would adversely affect our results.

We must continually modify and enhance our products to keep pace with changing technology and to address our customers’ needs and expectations, and any failure to do so could reduce demand for our products.

Our ability to remain competitive will depend on our ability to enhance our current offerings and develop new products and services that keep pace with technological developments and meet evolving customer requirements. In addition, our solutions must meet customer expectations to be successful. If our solutions fail to meet customer expectations, customers may discontinue adoption of our solutions, resulting in a loss of potential additional sales, and we may be unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers.

Our financial condition could be adversely affected if significant errors or defects are found in our software.

Sophisticated software can sometimes contain errors, defects or other performance problems. If errors or defects are discovered in our current or future products, we may need to expend significant financial, technical and management resources, or divert some of our development resources, in order to resolve or work around those defects, and we may not be able to correct them in a timely manner or provide an adequate response to our customers.

Errors, defects or other performance problems in our products could cause us to delay new product releases or customer deployments. Any such delays could cause delays in our ability to realize revenue from the licensing and shipment of new or enhanced products and give our competitors a greater opportunity to market competing products. Such difficulties could also cause us to lose customers. Technical problems or the loss of customers could also damage our business reputation and cause us to lose new business opportunities.

7

Businesses we acquire may not generate the revenue and earnings we anticipated and may otherwise adversely affect our business.

We have acquired, and intend to continue to acquire, new businesses and technologies. If we fail to successfully integrate and manage the businesses and technologies we acquire, our operating results may be adversely affected.

Moreover, business combinations also involve a number of risks and uncertainties that can adversely affect our operations and operating results, including:

• diversion of management and employee attention;

• loss of key personnel;

• unanticipated operating difficulties in connection with the acquired entities, including potential declines in revenue of the acquired entity;

• assumption of unanticipated legal or financial liabilities;

• incurring debt to finance an acquisition;

• impairment of acquired intangible assets, including goodwill; and

• dilution to our earnings per share if we were to issue stock as consideration.

We are dependent on key personnel whose loss could impair our operations, our product development or our sales efforts.

Our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, technical and sales personnel.

We require highly skilled technical personnel to develop our products. Competition for such personnel in our industry is intense. If we are unable to attract and retain technical personnel with the requisite skills, our product development efforts could be delayed, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Our sales efforts rely on having a sufficient number of sales representatives and sales support personnel with the skills and knowledge necessary to sell our products, including an ability to educate our customers about our products in order to create and meet demand for our products. If we are unable to attract or retain sales and sales support personnel with the requisite expertise, our revenue could be adversely affected.

At times we provide extended payment terms to our customers, which may be a factor in our customers’ purchasing decisions, and our revenues could be adversely affected if we ceased making these terms available.

We have provided extended payment terms to certain customers in connection with transactions we have completed with them. Providing extended payment terms may positively influence our customers’ purchasing decisions but may reduce our cash flows in the short-term. If we reduce the amount of extended payment terms we provide to customers, customers might reduce or defer the amount they spend on our products from the amount they might otherwise have spent if extended payment terms were available to them. If this were to occur, our revenue or revenue growth could be lower than in prior periods and/or lower than we expect.

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights.

Our software products and trademarks, including our company names, product names and logos, are proprietary. We protect our intellectual property rights in these items by relying on copyrights, trademarks, patents and common law safeguards, including trade secret protection, as well as restrictions on disclosures and transferability contained in our agreements with other parties. Despite these measures, the laws of all relevant jurisdictions may not afford adequate protection to our products and other intellectual property. In addition, we

8

frequently encounter attempts by individuals and companies to pirate our software solutions. If our measures to protect our intellectual property rights fail, others may be able to use those rights, which could reduce our competitiveness and revenues.

Intellectual property infringement claims could be asserted against us, which could be expensive to defend and could result in limitations on our use of the claimed intellectual property.

The software industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights. While we have not had any significant claims of this type asserted against us, such claims could be asserted against us in the future. If a lawsuit of this type is filed, it could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. We cannot be sure that we would prevail against any such asserted claims. If we did not prevail, we could be prevented from using the claimed intellectual property or required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which might not be available on terms acceptable to us. In addition to possible claims with respect to our proprietary products, some of our products contain technology developed by and licensed from third parties and we may likewise be susceptible to infringement claims with respect to these third-party technologies.

Our sales and operations are globally dispersed, which exposes us to additional operating and compliance risks.

We sell and deliver software and services, and maintain support operations, in a large number of countries, whose laws and practices differ from one another. North America accounted for 37%, Europe for 40% and Asia-Pacific for 23% of our revenue in 2011. Managing these geographically dispersed operations requires significant attention and resources to ensure compliance with laws. Accordingly, while we strive to maintain a comprehensive compliance program, we cannot guarantee that an employee, agent or business partner will not act in violation of our policies or U.S. or other applicable laws. Such violations can lead to civil and/or criminal prosecutions, substantial fines and the revocation of our rights to continue certain operations and also cause business and reputation loss.

Our cost structure is relatively fixed in the short term, which makes it difficult to reduce our expenses quickly in response to declines in revenue or revenue growth.

We make expenditures to support our revenue growth in advance of achieving the expected revenue. Our expenses associated with headcount and facilities can be difficult to reduce quickly due to the nature of those items. If revenue does not grow as we expect or if it declines, our expenses may constitute a larger percentage of our operating budget than we planned, which would adversely affect our profitability.

Consulting and training services margins are significantly lower than license and maintenance margins. Increases in consulting and training services revenue as a percent of total revenue could decrease our overall margins.

Because our Enterprise license solutions generally require more services to implement than our Desktop license solutions, and because Enterprise solutions represent an increasing percentage of our revenue, services revenue as a percent of total revenue may increase. Future projected improvements in our operating margin percent are predicated in part on our ability to improve consulting and training services margins through operating efficiencies, leverage, and increased use of outside service providers. If our services revenue increases as a percentage of total revenue and/or if we are unable to improve our services margins, our overall operating margin may not increase or may decrease, which could adversely impact our stock price.

Our current research and development efforts may not generate revenue for several years, if at all.

Developing and localizing software products is expensive, and the investment in product development often involves a long return on investment cycle. We have made and expect to continue to make significant investments in research and development and related product opportunities that could adversely affect our operating results if not offset by revenue increases. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position.

9

We depend on sales within the discrete manufacturing market and our revenue is likely to decrease if manufacturing activity slows.

A large amount of our revenues are related to sales to customers in the discrete manufacturing sector. A decline in general economic or business conditions or a decline in spending in the manufacturing sector could cause customers to reduce or defer spending on our products, which would cause our revenue and earnings to decrease or to grow more slowly.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from maintenance contracts; decreases in maintenance renewal rates, or a decrease in the number of new licenses we sell, would negatively impact our future maintenance revenue and operating results.

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from maintenance contracts. These contracts are generally renewed on an annual basis and typically have a high rate of customer renewal. In addition to the recurring revenue base associated with these contracts, a majority of customers purchasing new perpetual licenses also purchase related annual maintenance contracts. If the rate of renewal for these contracts, or the level of maintenance revenue associated with new licenses, is adversely affected by economic or other factors, our maintenance revenue growth and profitability will be adversely affected.

We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities and our effective tax rate may increase or fluctuate, which could increase our income tax expense and reduce our net income.

As a multinational organization, we are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in the U.S. and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide income tax provision and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our tax returns are subject to review by various taxing authorities. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, there is no assurance that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.

Our effective tax rate can be adversely affected by several factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:

• changes in tax laws, regulations, and interpretations in multiple jurisdictions in which we operate;

• assessments, and any related tax interest or penalties, by taxing authorities;

• changes in the relative proportions of revenues and income before taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;

• changes to the financial accounting rules for income taxes;

• unanticipated changes in tax rates; and

• changes to a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, if any.

Our sales to government clients subject us to risks of funding approvals.

We derive revenues from contracts with the U.S. government, state and local governments and their respective agencies. There is increased pressure for governments and their agencies to reduce spending. Many of our federal government contracts contain fiscal funding clauses whereby ongoing funding of the contracts is subject to approval of appropriations by the U.S. Congress. Similarly, our contracts at the state and local levels are subject to government funding authorizations. Although we have no indication that funding for current contracts will not be approved, if additional funding for these contracts is not approved it could reduce revenue we have recognized and reduce future revenue from such contracts.

II. Other Considerations

We have been investigating certain matters in China, which matters and related remedial actions could have an adverse effect on our business.

We have been investigating 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. In connection with this matter, we have terminated certain employees and business partners in China, which 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. We are unable to predict the outcome of these voluntary disclosures, which could include fines or other sanctions.

We are required to comply with certain financial and operating covenants under our credit facility and any failure to comply with those covenants could cause amounts borrowed under the facility to become immediately due and payable or prevent us from borrowing under the facility.

Under the terms of our credit facility, we may borrow 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, at which time any amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. Our current balance outstanding under the credit facility is $240 million, primarily related to our acquisition of MKS in the third quarter of 2011. We may wish to borrow additional amounts under the facility in the future to support our operations, including for strategic acquisitions.

We are required to comply with specified financial and operating covenants, which limit our ability to operate our business as we otherwise might operate it. Our failure to comply with any of these covenants or to meet any payment obligations under the facility could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, would result in any amounts outstanding, including any accrued interest and unpaid fees, becoming immediately due and payable. We might not have sufficient working capital or liquidity to satisfy any repayment obligations in the event of an acceleration of those obligations. In addition, if we are not in compliance with the financial and operating covenants at the time we wish to borrow funds, we will be unable to borrow funds.

Our stock price has been volatile, which may make it harder to resell your shares at a time and at a price that is favorable to you.

Market prices for securities of software companies are generally volatile and are subject to significant fluctuations unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of ours, may not be predictable. Negative changes in the public’s perception of the prospects of software companies, or of PTC or the markets we serve, could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results.

Also, a large percentage of our common stock is held by institutional investors. Purchases and sales of our common stock by these institutional investors could have a significant impact on the market price of the stock. For more information about those investors, please see our proxy statement with respect to our most recent annual meeting of stockholders and Schedules 13D and 13G filed with the SEC with respect to our common stock.

ITEM 2. Properties

We currently lease 125 offices used in operations in the United States and internationally, predominately as sales and/or support offices and for research and development work. Of our total of approximately 1,329,000 square feet of leased facilities used in operations, approximately 573,000 square feet are located in the U.S., including 329,000 square feet of our headquarters facility located in Needham, Massachusetts, and approximately 186,000 square feet are located in India, where a significant amount of our research and development is conducted. We also lease space comprising approximately 64,000 square feet that is not used for our current operations and is primarily subleased to third parties. As described in Notes C and I of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” lease commitments on unused facilities in excess of expected sublease income have been included in our restructuring provisions. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our present and foreseeable needs.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

The European Commission is conducting an investigation of allegedly anti-competitive practices within the European Economic Area with respect to CAD and related software. In connection with its investigation, the Commission has requested information from PTC and, we understand, from other vendors as well. PTC has cooperated to provide the requested information. No charges or proceedings have been initiated by the Commission against PTC; however, the Commission has authority to impose significant fines if it identifies violations of European competition laws as a result of its investigation.

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 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the last quarter of 2011.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Annual Report about anticipated financial results and growth, as well as about the development of our products and markets, are forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans and assumptions. Important information about the bases for these plans and assumptions and factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from these statements is contained below and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a year reflect our fiscal year that ends on September 30.

Executive Overview

Our momentum continued in 2011 and we achieved $1.17 billion in revenue, our highest annual revenue ever. This represented 16% revenue growth over 2010 (12% on a constant currency basis). We posted solid growth across our license, maintenance and services lines of business, which we attribute to increased demand for our products and services as a result of improvement in the economy, our competitive positioning and significant new product releases. Specific achievements and items that contributed significantly to our revenue results for the year include:

• strength in Desktop license revenue and maintenance revenue as a result of improvement in the economy and the launch of our next generation CAx solution suite, Creo, in 2011;

• strength in Enterprise maintenance and consulting services revenue driven by a strong Enterprise license revenue year in 2010; and

• the acquisition of MKS Inc., a provider of Integrity^TM software development tools and solutions, which contributed $25.9 million to 2011 Enterprise revenue ($28.5 million on a non-GAAP basis).

Our non-GAAP operating margin increased to 18% in 2011 from 16% in 2010 (to 10% from 7% on a GAAP basis) due to increased revenue and operating scale improvements. Research and development expense as a percent of consolidated revenue was 18% in 2011 and 20% in 2010. During 2011, we also made measured investments in sales capacity to capitalize on long-term growth opportunities.

We ended the year with $168 million of cash and $100 million available under our revolving credit facility. We used approximately $50 million of cash and borrowed $250 million under the credit facility to acquire MKS, $50 million of which we repaid by year end. We also repurchased $55 million worth of shares of our common stock in 2011.

Revenue, Operating Margin, Earnings per Share and Cash Flow

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”), it shows 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, in-process research and development expenses, one-time gains or 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

14

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 use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results. We discuss the non-GAAP measures in detail under “Income and Margins; Earnings per Share” below.

(1) In the first quarter of 2011 we entered into a strategic contract with an automotive customer for which we expect 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 in 2011 compared to 2010.

(2) GAAP net income in 2011 included foreign currency losses of $4.4 million related to our acquisition of MKS and $0.7 million of foreign currency losses related to a litigation settlement. GAAP net income in 2010 included a gain of $9.0 million resulting from a litigation settlement and a one-time tax provision of $43.4 million (an impact of $0.36 on GAAP diluted earnings per share) in connection with a legal entity reorganization. GAAP net income in 2009 included a one-time tax benefit of $7.6 million (benefitting GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.06) in connection with the litigation in Japan. The items above have been excluded from non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for each respective period.

(3) In the first quarter of 2011, we used $48 million, net, of cash in connection with the resolution of a litigation matter.

2011 compared to 2010

Revenue in 2011 grew 16% (12% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2010. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, our total revenue was $1,140.1 million, up 13%, and our license revenue was $331.7 million, up 12% over 2010. We had growth in all lines of business, reflecting increased demand for our products and services. We attribute this increased demand to improvement in the economy and the strength of our products. We have seen continued strength in Enterprise maintenance and consulting services following a strong Enterprise license revenue year in 2010. Additionally, the launch of Creo has positively impacted Desktop license revenue and maintenance revenue as customers have expanded their adoption and renewed seats under maintenance, and new customers, particularly in the small- and medium-size business space, have been added.

15

During 2011, we saw a year-over-year increase in the amount of revenue from customers for which license and/or consulting and training revenue exceeded $1 million in a quarter, suggesting improved breadth and depth of our business. License and/or consulting and training service revenue of $1 million or more recognized from individual customers in a quarter during 2011 totaled $248.0 million compared with $187.3 million in 2010.

Our Desktop license revenue and Desktop total revenue grew 33% and 15%, respectively, in 2011 compared to 2010, attributable to an increase in the amount of large deals with direct customers. Our Enterprise license revenue was down slightly year over year, while total Enterprise revenue grew 16% in 2011 compared to 2010. Excluding the impact of MKS and 4CS, Enterprise license revenue was down 7% year over year and total Enterprise revenue was up 10% compared to 2010. Enterprise results reflected year over year declines in license revenue in the first half of 2011 and improvement during the second half of fiscal 2011, with fourth quarter year over year license revenue growth of 30% (11% when excluding the impact of acquisitions). In the small- and medium-size business market, we saw continued overall strength, with indirect license revenue and total indirect revenue up 21% and 11%, respectively, in 2011 compared to 2010. The fourth quarter of 2011 was our seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year indirect license revenue and total indirect revenue growth.

Costs and expenses in 2011, compared to 2010, were impacted by a number of factors, including higher cost of service in support of services revenue growth, investments in our direct sales force, incremental headcount, costs from acquisitions, and a company-wide merit pay increase. These items are described in more detail in Cost and Expenses below.

Our GAAP and non-GAAP operating income increased in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to increased revenue and operating scale improvements, particularly in research and development productivity which, as a percent of consolidated revenue, was 18% in 2011 and 20% in 2010. During 2011, we also made measured investments in sales capacity to capitalize on long-term growth opportunities. While operating income increased significantly in 2011 compared to 2010, GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 248% in 2011 compared to 2010 due to a significantly higher income tax rate in 2010 and improved profitability. Our tax rate was 18% in 2011 compared with 70% in 2010, due in part to the one-time tax items described in footnote 2 in the table above. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew 26% in 2011 compared to 2010.

Cash flow from operating activities was $78.7 million in 2011, compared with $156.6 million in 2010. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the resolution of a litigation matter, which reduced our cash balance by approximately $48 million in the first quarter of 2011 and the timing of cash collections on accounts receivable. Accounts receivable was $230.2 million and $169.3 million at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This increase in accounts receivable was due primarily to revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011 being $71.4 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

The increase in license revenue in 2010 was primarily driven by a 73% increase in Enterprise license revenue due primarily to sales of Windchill to large customers. We believe the 39% increase in license revenue in 2010 compared with 2009 reflected an improved macroeconomic climate, with customers resuming investments in important Business Process and Information Technology initiatives. Maintenance and consulting and training service revenue in 2010 were both negatively impacted by our weak license sales in 2009. However, this revenue grew modestly in the second half of 2010 compared to the second half of 2009.

Costs and expenses in 2010 compared to 2009 increased primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements described below; costs associated with investments in product development made beginning in the second half of 2009; higher incentive-based compensation; and higher commissions resulting from higher license revenue in 2010.

16

These cost increases were partially offset by the impact of headcount reductions made in the third and fourth quarters of 2009 (and related restructuring charges recorded in GAAP operating income in 2009).

Our GAAP and non-GAAP operating income increased in 2010 compared to 2009 primarily because of the increase in license revenue. While operating income increased significantly in 2010 compared to 2009, GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased in 2010 compared to 2009 due to a significantly higher income tax rate in 2010. Our tax rate was 70% in 2010, compared to a benefit of 84% in 2009, due in part to the one-time tax items described in footnote 2 in the table above.

Cash flow from operating activities was $156.6 million in 2010, compared with $69.7 million in 2009. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher profitability, lower incentive compensation payments related to 2009 year end compensation accruals; and lower income tax payments, partially offset by 2009 benefitting from cash collections of 2008 accounts receivable which totaled $201.5 million as of September 30, 2008.

Fiscal Year 2012 Expectations, Strategies and Risks

Based on 2011 results, current economic conditions and spending patterns, the competitive strength of our products and a full year of revenue contribution from MKS, we expect 14% to 15% revenue growth in 2012 compared to 2011, with license revenue growth of approximately 20%, maintenance revenue growth of approximately 11% and services revenue growth of approximately 14%. Further, our goal is to improve operating margins by 100 basis points in 2012. Accordingly, as one of our strategic initiatives in 2012, we are continuing to add sales capacity to address market opportunities while at the same time we are being disciplined about our broader spending and staffing plans. An additional strategic initiative is to continue to expand our services ecosystem by adding strategic services partners to focus on smaller engagements, enabling us to focus on larger engagements.

Our current expectations are that we will be able to grow revenue and improve our operating margins. However, given the uncertain economic environment, if revenue is lower than we expect, we may reduce or delay strategic investments and/or take actions to reduce our operating costs.

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 PLM 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. Our revenue and operating results may also continue to be impacted by currency fluctuations.

Impact of an Investigation in China

We have been investigating 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. In connection with this matter, we have terminated certain employees and business partners in China, which 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. We are unable to predict the outcome of these voluntary disclosures, which could include fines or other sanctions.

Results of Operations

Acquisitions

We acquired MKS, a global application lifecycle management (ALM) technology leader, on May 31, 2011. In early September, we acquired 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS), a developer of warranty management and service lifecycle management (SLM) software. The acquisition of 4CS broadens PTC’s portfolio of solutions for product support and service organizations, and supports PTC’s vision for solutions that span both product and service lifecycles.

The results of operations of acquired businesses have been included in PTC’s consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions added $26.8 million to our 2011 revenue ($29.4 million on a non-GAAP basis), less than $1 million of which was related to 4CS, and added $37.7 million of costs and expenses (including acquisition-related costs of $7.8 million and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3.7 million), or $25.6 million on a non-GAAP basis. In 2012, these acquisitions are expected to add approximately $90 to $100 million in non-GAAP revenue (approximately $3 million less on a GAAP basis) and be slightly accretive to our non-GAAP EPS results, as operating profitability is offset by interest payments on the debt and investments we are making in the acquired businesses to capitalize on their long-term growth opportunity. MKS and 4CS revenue is classified as “Enterprise” revenue.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations

Approximately two thirds of our revenue and half of our expenses are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Currency translation affects our reported results because we report our results of operations in U.S. dollars. On a year-over-year comparative basis, our revenue for 2011 and 2010 benefited as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, primarily for the Euro and the Japanese Yen, and our expenses were also higher. Conversely, in 2009 our revenue and expenses were lower as a result of changes in currency rates. If actual reported results were converted into U.S. dollars based on the corresponding prior year’s foreign currency exchange rates, 2011 and 2010 revenue would have been lower by $36.8 million and $15.5 million, respectively, and expenses would have been lower by $21.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively; and 2009 revenue and expenses would have been higher by $38.5 million and $41.0 million, respectively. The net impact on year-over-year results would have been decreases in operating income of $15.8 million, $4.0 million and $2.5 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The results of operations, revenue by line of business and revenue by geographic region in the tables that follow present both actual percentage changes year over year and percentage changes on a constant currency basis.

Revenue

Our revenue consists of software license revenue and service revenue. Service revenue includes software maintenance revenue (consisting of providing our customers software updates and technical support) as well as consulting and training revenue (including implementation services).

Desktop revenue includes our CAx 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 any of the years presented.

License Revenue

2011 compared to 2010

The increase in overall license revenue in 2011 was due primarily to growth in direct Desktop revenue from sales to our large commercial customers. Additionally, we are continuing to see strength in license revenue from small- and medium-size customers, with increases in both indirect Desktop and Enterprise license revenue. We attribute the increase in Desktop license sales to the recent launch of Creo, which has resulted in orders from our existing customer base and an increase in sales to new customers in our reseller channel. Additionally, we attribute the increase in Desktop license revenue to the economic recovery resulting in renewed customer demand.

MKS contributed $10.4 million to Enterprise license revenue in 2011. Excluding MKS, Enterprise license revenue was down 7% year over year, reflecting declines in the first half of 2011. We began to see improvements in Enterprise license revenue in the second half of 2011, with year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter of 30% (11% when excluding the impact of acquisitions). Enterprise license revenue results reflect decreases in revenue from sales of Windchill, which were 19% ($22.6 million) lower in 2011 compared to 2010. We attribute some of this decline to the fact that 2010 was a particularly strong comparison period which included several large Windchill transactions. In addition, we believe that one of the primary factors adversely impacting the Enterprise license revenue performance in 2011 is the dilutive impact of increased Desktop revenue on our Enterprise sales capacity. As a result, we began expanding our sales capacity in the second half of 2011 and we plan to continue to expand our sales capacity over the next four quarters.

Foreign currency exchange rate movements favorably impacted license revenue by $11.4 million in 2011, compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

The growth in Enterprise license revenue was driven by sales of Windchill, which were 72% ($50.4 million) higher in 2010 than 2009. The increase in Desktop license revenue in 2010 compared to 2009 was due primarily to an increase of 28% ($15.0 million) in sales of new Pro/ENGINEER licenses. License revenue was favorably impacted by $2.3 million in 2010 as a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Consulting and Training Revenue

2011 compared to 2010

Consulting and training services engagements typically result from sales of new licenses, particularly of our Enterprise Solutions. Accordingly, strong Enterprise license sales in 2010 had a favorable impact on services revenue in 2011. In 2011, compared to 2010, consulting revenue, which is primarily related to Windchill implementations among our direct Enterprise customers, was up 23% ($42.9 million), and training revenue, which typically represents about 15% of our total consulting and training services revenue, was up 23% ($6.6 million). In addition, MKS contributed $5.5 million to Enterprise consulting and training service revenue in 2011.

Foreign currency exchange rate movements favorably impacted consulting and training services revenue by $8.3 million in 2011, compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

Weak license sales in 2009 had an adverse impact on services revenue in the first half of 2010. Toward the end of 2010, our consulting and training revenue began to stabilize with consulting and training revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 increasing 5% year over year and 1% sequentially. Total consulting revenue, which is primarily related to Windchill implementations, was down 3% in 2010. Total training revenue, which typically

20

represents about 15% of our total consulting and training services revenue, was down 11% in 2010. Direct Enterprise consulting and training service revenue, which comprised over 75% of our total consulting and training service revenue in 2010 and 2009, was flat in 2010.

Consulting and training services revenue in 2010 was favorably impacted by $3.9 million as a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Maintenance Revenue

Maintenance revenue represents revenue from renewals of licenses under maintenance and maintenance on new licenses.

2011 compared to 2010

We have seen steady growth in maintenance revenue in 2011, particularly in the second half of the year. Our recent launch of Creo has reinvigorated our base of Desktop customers and resulted in increases in our Desktop maintenance revenue. Enterprise maintenance revenue in 2011 benefitted from strong Enterprise license sales in fiscal 2010 (Enterprise license revenue in fiscal 2010 was 73% ($65.2 million) higher than fiscal 2009). In addition, MKS contributed $10.0 million to Enterprise maintenance revenue in 2011. Creo and Windchill seats under maintenance increased 7% and 19%, respectively, as of the end of 2011, compared to the end 2010.

Foreign currency exchange rate movements favorably impacted maintenance revenue by $17.2 million in 2011, compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

While maintenance revenue in 2010 was adversely impacted by the global economic climate and soft license sales in 2009, it was favorably impacted by $9.2 million as a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements. Desktop maintenance revenue decreased 3% ($10.6 million) in 2010 and Enterprise maintenance revenue increased 6% ($7.9 million) in 2010. Creo seats under maintenance decreased 2% and Windchill seats increased 32%, respectively, as of the end of 2010 compared to the end of 2009.

Revenue by Distribution Channel

We derive most of our revenue from products and services sold directly by our sales force to end-user customers. We also sell products and services through third-party resellers and other strategic partners. 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.

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

Direct

Our direct revenue was 73%, 72% and 70% of our total revenue in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. To address market demand and what we believe to be current capacity constraints, we expanded the number of sales personnel in the second half of 2011 and we plan to add additional direct sales capacity in 2012.

Indirect

We have over 420 geographically dispersed resellers. Our resellers are focused primarily on selling our Desktop products, Creo and Mathcad, and Windchill PDMLink^®.

21

Our indirect revenue typically comprises approximately 30% of our total revenue. The fourth quarter of 2011 was our seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in indirect license revenue and total indirect revenue. We believe that this performance reflects improving macroeconomic conditions. In addition, we have seen an increase in the number of new customers served by our channel partners, which we attribute in part to our recent release of Creo.

While our small- and medium-size customers are more heavily affected by macroeconomic factors, we are encouraged by recent results and we believe that the markets for Desktop and Enterprise Solutions served by our indirect channel continue offer long-term growth potential.

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, non-renewal of large maintenance contracts and macroeconomic conditions.

The increase in license and consulting and training service revenue greater than $1 million from individual customers in a quarter in 2011 compared to 2010 reflects increased revenue from Desktop licenses (mainly Creo) and Enterprise services, partially offset by lower sales of Enterprise licenses. The increase in 2010 was due primarily to the sale of Enterprise products to large direct customers.

The relatively low license revenue growth in 2011 was, in part, because the first half of 2010 included several particularly large Windchill transactions. Our direct revenue increased 12% ($38.4 million) and our indirect revenue increased 7% ($4.9 million) in 2011 compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

The year-over-year change in revenue in the Americas was primarily driven by changes in license revenue. License revenue increased 33% ($29.0 million) in 2010 compared to 2009 driven by sales of Enterprise products to direct customers. Our direct revenue increased 14% ($38.1 million) and our indirect revenue declined 6% ($4.0 million) in 2010 compared to 2009 primarily related to maintenance revenue.

24

2011 compared to 2010

Costs and expenses in 2011 compared to 2010 increased as a result of the following:

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

• investments in our direct sales force;

• an increase of approximately 380 employees in connection with our acquisition of MKS on May 31, 2011 and approximately 200 employees in connection with our acquisition of 4CS on September 2, 2011;

• a company-wide merit pay increase effective February 1, 2011 (approximately $11 million on an annualized basis), which resulted in an increase in salary expense across all functional organizations;

• acquisition-related costs (included in general and administrative) primarily associated with our acquisition of MKS;

• 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; 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.

2010 compared to 2009

Costs and expenses in 2010 compared to 2009 reflected higher costs due to:

• an increase in services headcount in anticipation of planned revenue growth;

• an increase in sales headcount in support of license revenue growth;

• higher commission expense due to an increase in license revenue;

• investments in research and development; and

• higher accrued incentive-based compensation, primarily in general and administrative expense.

Total costs and expenses in 2010 compared to 2009 reflect a $13.1 million increase in commissions due to higher license sales and a $19.2 million increase in incentive-based compensation due primarily to performance-based incentive plan targets which were fully achieved in 2010 while such targets were not achieved in full in 2009. These increases were partially offset by $22.7 million of restructuring costs incurred in 2009.

% of total revenue		2	%					3	%					3	%
% of total license revenue		8	%					10	%					14	%

Our cost of license revenue primarily consists of amortization of acquired purchased software intangible assets, fixed and variable costs associated with reproducing and distributing software and documentation and royalties paid to third parties for technology embedded in or licensed with our software products. Cost of license revenue as a percent of license revenue can vary depending on product mix sold, the effect of fixed and variable

25

royalties, and the level of amortization of acquired software intangible assets. Amortization of acquired purchased software totaled $15.4 million, $18.4 million and $19.7 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cost of license revenue as a percentage of total license revenue was lower in 2011 and 2010 as compared to 2009 due primarily to increases in license revenue and lower amortization of acquired software intangible assets.

Service headcount at end of period		1,957			30	%		1,508			8	%		1,401

Our cost of service revenue includes costs associated with consulting, training and customer support personnel, such as salaries and related costs; third-party subcontractor fees; costs associated with the release of maintenance updates (including related royalty costs); and facility 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 68%, 70% and 69% of total service revenue in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In 2011, compared to 2010, total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were 18% ($33.1 million) higher, primarily due to increased headcount. Additionally, the cost of third-party consulting services was $11.8 million higher in 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to the increase in consulting and training service revenue in 2011. Service headcount at the end of 2011 increased by approximately 450 employees compared to the year ago period, including approximately 150 employees from our acquisition of MKS and approximately 60 employees from our acquisition of 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.

Total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were 4% ($7.2 million) higher in 2010 compared to 2009. The cost of third-party consulting services was $6.7 million lower in 2010 compared 2009 due to the decrease in consulting and training services in 2010. Services headcount was up due to hiring to support planned revenue growth.

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 $29.5 million in 2011 compared to 2010. Additionally, costs associated with sales meetings and marketing events were higher by approximately $3.4 million in 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to the Creo product launch and higher costs related to our fiscal 2011 sales kick-off meeting and worldwide PTC user conferences. The sales and marketing headcount at the end of 2011 includes approximately 80 employees from the acquisition of MKS.

26

Our compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher by an aggregate of $14.1 million in 2010 compared to 2009. These costs increased primarily due to commissions, which were higher by $13.8 million due to more license sales in 2010 than in 2009. In addition, expenses were higher by $2.3 million related to our annual sales incentive meeting, which was held in 2010 after being cancelled in 2009. While year-end headcount was up year over year, average sales and marketing headcount decreased 4% in 2010 compared to 2009.

Our research and development expenses consist principally of salaries and benefits, costs of computer equipment and facility expenses. Major research and development activities include developing new releases of our software. Total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher in 2011 compared to 2010 by an aggregate of $9.7 million, including approximately $2.2 million of severance and related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011 resulting from a shifting of resources to support our long-term market opportunity in the Automotive vertical. The research and development headcount at the end of 2011 includes approximately 120 employees from the acquisition of MKS and 130 employees from the acquisition of 4CS.

While year-end headcount decreased 1% from 2009 to 2010, average headcount increased 3% in 2010 compared to 2009. As a result of this increase, total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher in 2010 compared to 2009 by an aggregate of $12.8 million, including a $6.3 million increase in cash incentive plan and stock-based compensation.

Our general and administrative expenses include the costs of our corporate, finance, information technology, human resources, legal and administrative functions, as well as acquisition-related charges, bad debt expense and outside professional services, including accounting and legal fees. Acquisition-related costs include direct costs of acquisitions and expenses related to acquisition integration activities, including transaction fees, due diligence costs, retention bonuses and severance, and professional fees including legal and accounting costs related to the acquisition. Compared to 2010, the increase in general and administrative expenses in 2011 was attributable to $7.8 million of acquisition-related costs, primarily associated with our acquisition of MKS, and total compensation, benefit costs and travel costs which were higher by $6.0 million. The general and administrative headcount at the end of 2011 includes approximately 30 employees from the acquisition of MKS.

Total compensation, benefit costs and travel costs were higher in 2010 compared to 2009 by an aggregate of $9.7 million, including an $8.0 million increase in cash incentive plan and stock-based compensation expense. This increase was due primarily to performance-based cash incentive plan targets which were fully achieved in 2010 while targets for such awards were not achieved in full in 2009, as well as to grants of fiscal 2010 stock-based awards being made in November 2009, our usual timing, while the 2009 stock-based awards were not made until the third quarter of 2009 because we had insufficient shares available under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan earlier in the year.

The amortization of acquired intangible assets line item on our statements of operations 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 2011 compared to 2010 was due primarily to amortization related to our acquisition of MKS.

Given the challenging macroeconomic environment and lower revenue in 2009, we implemented workforce reductions and facility consolidations beginning in the second quarter of 2009. The 2009 restructuring charges included $21.9 million for severance and related costs associated with 382 employees notified of termination during 2009 and $0.8 million of charges related to excess facilities.

In 2011, 2010 and 2009, we made cash payments related to restructuring and other charges (including payments relating to restructuring and other charges recorded prior to 2009) of $0.5 million, $14.5 million and $24.7 million respectively. At September 30, 2011, accrued expenses for unpaid restructuring charges taken during prior periods totaled $0.7 million.

Foreign Currency Net Losses

Foreign currency net losses include costs of hedging contracts, certain realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses, and foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the required period-end currency remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Because a large portion of our revenue and expenses is transacted in foreign currencies, we engage in hedging transactions involving the use of foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency losses in 2011 included $4.4 million related to our acquisition of MKS and the related settlement of forward contracts to purchase CDN$292 million and $0.7 million from our litigation settlement in Japan.

28

Gain on Litigation Resolution

In October 2010, we resolved litigation brought against us by GE Japan. As a result of the resolution of this matter, we recorded a one-time gain of $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The amount paid in the first quarter of 2011 to resolve this matter was included in accrued litigation on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 and paid in the first quarter of 2011.

Interest Income

Interest income represents earnings on the investment of our available cash balances. The increase in interest income in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to higher interest rates, resulting in more interest earned on cash balances. The decrease in interest income in 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to lower interest rates, resulting in less interest earned on cash balances.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is primarily related to interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2011, we had $200 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. The increase in interest expense in 2011 compared to 2010 is due to higher average amounts outstanding and higher interest rates while the decrease in interest expense in 2010 compared to 2009 is due to lower average amounts outstanding and lower interest rates. The average interest rate on amounts outstanding under the credit facility was 2.1%, 1.6% and 3.2% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate has fluctuated significantly in each of the past three years. In 2010 and 2009 this was due primarily to the impact of discrete events, described further below, which created a one-time income tax provision in 2010 and a one-time income tax benefit in 2009.

	Year ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2009
	(in millions)
Pre-tax income	$	104.5		$	82.1		$	17.2
Tax provision (benefit)		19.1			57.8			(14.4	)
Effective income tax rate		18	%		70	%		(84	)%

In 2011, 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 and a $2.3 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. Our 2011 tax provision reflects a $7.5 million provision related to a research and development cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. A similar prepayment was made in 2010 resulting in a $6.0 million provision in that year. As a result, the net increase to the 2011 provision was $1.5 million.

In 2011, we continued our business reorganization of our legal entity structure which began in 2010 to support our tax and cash planning. The 2011 reorganization resulted in a $46.4 million taxable gain in the U.S. The tax on this gain was offset in part by the reversal of a deferred tax liability for unremitted earnings of a foreign subsidiary of $6.5 million (established in 2010 in contemplation of this transaction) the recognition of foreign tax credits previously not benefitted and foreign tax credits generated as a result of the transaction.

In 2010, our effective income tax rate differed from the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to a one-time tax charge of $43.4 million recorded as a result of a business reorganization, partially offset by foreign taxes at a net effective income tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we

29

completed a reorganization of our legal entity structure to support our tax and cash planning. The objective of this reorganization was to enable significant re-deployment and repatriation of cash between our international and domestic operations. This reorganization resulted in $446 million of foreign source taxable gain in the U.S., which was offset by foreign tax credits, primarily generated as a result of this transaction, and carry forward credits available. A significant amount of these carry forward credits was previously unrecognized due to the uncertainty of generating foreign source income in the U.S. The net tax effect of this reorganization was a $43.4 million tax provision in the U.S. While this reorganization resulted in a one-time increase in our tax rate of 53%, it had no material effect on cash taxes paid and, as a result, was excluded from our non-GAAP earnings per share (see Income and Margins; Earnings per Share below). Our 2010 tax provision reflects a $6.0 million provision related to a research and development (R&D) cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. This prepayment had no impact on our 2010 tax rate as the same prepayment was made in 2009 (as described below).

In 2009, our effective income tax rate differed from the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to:

• a $7.6 million one-time benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2009 in connection with litigation in a foreign jurisdiction;

• foreign taxes at a net effective income tax rate lower than the U.S. rate, net of a $6.0 million provision related to a research and development (R&D) cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary;

• a $2.2 million tax benefit related to settlement of a foreign tax audit in the fourth quarter of 2009; and

• a $1.2 million tax benefit related to R&D tax credits triggered by a retroactive extension of the tax credit enacted during the first quarter of 2009.

As of September 30, 2011, we have a remaining valuation allowance of $13.8 million against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a remaining valuation allowance of $24.8 million against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. consists of $3.5 million for foreign tax credits and $10.3 million for research and development credits that we have determined are not likely to be realized. The valuation allowance on foreign tax credits reflects the fact that deductions, not credits, are expected to be claimed in the U.S. in future periods. The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions is established primarily for our net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which do not expire. There are limitations imposed on the utilization of such net operating losses that could further restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

As of September 30, 2011, our net deferred tax asset balance of $121.9 million primarily relates to our U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that most of 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 having taken certain tax planning actions. We have taken and will continue to take measures to improve core earnings in the U.S., and we expect U.S. earnings to continue to improve in the near term. If the U.S. results do not improve as anticipated, however, 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. In 2009, we closed the IRS examination of PTC’s U.S. federal tax

30

years 2005 through 2007. The completion of the examination resulted in a decrease of $9.4 million to the tax reserve and a net tax benefit of $0.3 million. We also settled a foreign tax audit in the fourth quarter of 2009 resulting in a tax benefit of $2.2 million.

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, and acquisitions of other companies.

Income and Margins; Earnings per Share

As shown in the table below, our operating income and operating margins in 2011 increased compared to 2010, primarily due to margin contribution associated with higher revenue described in Revenue above, partially offset by higher costs and expenses described in Costs and Expenses above. Our GAAP and non-GAAP operating income, net income and operating margins were lowest in 2009 during the global economic crisis and have improved in 2010 and 2011.

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

• non-GAAP revenue—GAAP revenue

• non-GAAP operating income—GAAP operating income

• non-GAAP operating margin—GAAP operating margin

• non-GAAP net income—GAAP net income

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

The non-GAAP measures exclude a fair value adjustment related to acquired MKS deferred maintenance revenue, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, in-process research and development expense, one-time gains or charges included in non-operating other income (expense) and the related tax effects of the preceding items, and any one–time tax items. These items are normally included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management excludes these items when evaluating our ongoing performance and/or predicting our earnings trends, and therefore excludes these items when presenting non-GAAP financial 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 non-cash expense relating to stock-based awards issued to executive officers, employees and outside directors, consisting of restricted stock, stock options and restricted stock units.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets expense and in-process research and development expense are non-cash expenses that are impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.

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 and severance, and professional fees, including legal and accounting costs related to 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.

31

Restructuring charges include excess facility and asset-related restructuring charges and severance costs resulting from reductions of personnel driven by modifications to our business strategy and not as part of our normal operations. These costs may vary in size based on our restructuring plan. In addition, our assumptions are continually reevaluated, which may increase or reduce the charges in a specific period.

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 Annual Report should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

32

The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP measures to its most closely comparable GAAP measure on our financial statements.

(1) In the third quarter of 2011, in connection with our planned acquisition of MKS, we entered into forward contracts to purchase CDN$292 million (equivalent to approximately $305 million when the contracts were entered into). We entered into these forward contracts to reduce our foreign currency exposure related to

33

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 is in Canadian Dollars) and the closing date which occurred on May 31, 2011. We realized foreign currency losses of $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 recorded as other expense related to the acquisition of MKS. In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded $0.7 million of foreign currency losses related to a litigation settlement in Japan.

(2) Represents the gain resulting from a litigation settlement described in “Gain on Litigation Resolution” above.

(3) Income tax adjustments reflect the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments which are calculated by applying the applicable tax rate by jurisdiction to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above, as well as any atypical tax items. Income tax adjustments included a one-time tax provision of $1.9 million in 2011 and $43.4 million in 2010 in connection with legal entity reorganizations and a one-time tax benefit of $7.6 million in 2009 in connection with litigation in a foreign jurisdiction described in “Income Taxes” above.

(4) Diluted earnings per share impact of non-GAAP adjustments is calculated by dividing the dollar amount of the non-GAAP adjustment by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the respective year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenues, results of operations, and net income, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary because future events and their effects on our results and the value of our assets cannot be determined with certainty, and are made based on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained, and we may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time.

The accounting policies, methods and estimates used to prepare our financial statements are described generally in Note B of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”. The most important accounting judgments and estimates that we made in preparing the financial statements involved:

• revenue recognition;

• accounting for income taxes;

• valuation of assets and liabilities of business combinations;

• valuation of goodwill;

• accounting for pensions; and

• legal contingencies.

A critical accounting policy is one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate, and different estimates that we could have used, or changes in the estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting policies, guidelines and interpretations related to our critical accounting policies and estimates are generally subject to numerous sources of authoritative guidance and are often reexamined by accounting

34

standards rule makers and regulators. These rule makers and/or regulators may promulgate interpretations, guidance or regulations that may result in changes to our accounting policies, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

We exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with determining the amounts of software license and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period.

Our primary judgments involve the following:

• determining whether collection is probable;

• assessing whether the fee is fixed or determinable;

• determining whether service arrangements, including modifications and customization of the underlying software, are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software and thus would result in the revenue for license and service elements of an agreement being recorded separately; and

• determining the fair value of services and maintenance elements included in multiple-element arrangements, which is the basis for allocating and deferring revenue for such services and maintenance.

We derive revenues from three primary sources: (1) software licenses, (2) maintenance services and (3) consulting and training services. Revenue by type for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

	Year ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2009
	(in thousands)
License revenue	$	342,121	$	296,021	$	212,710
Consulting and training services revenue		267,150		217,606		226,358
Maintenance revenue		557,678		496,422		499,117
Total revenue	$	1,166,949	$	1,010,049	$	938,185

For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, we recognize revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred (generally, FOB shipping point or electronic distribution), (3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is probable. Substantially all of our license revenues are recognized in this manner.

Our software is distributed primarily through our direct sales force. In addition, we have an indirect distribution channel through alliances with resellers. Revenue arrangements with resellers are recognized on a sell-through basis; that is, when we deliver the product to the end-user customer. We record consideration given to a reseller as a reduction of revenue to the extent we have recorded revenue from the reseller. We do not offer contractual rights of return, stock balancing, or price protection to our resellers, and actual product returns from them have been insignificant to date. As a result, we do not maintain reserves for reseller product returns.

At the time of each sale transaction, we must make an assessment of the collectability of the amount due from the customer. Revenue is only recognized at that time if management deems that collection is probable. In making this assessment, we consider customer credit-worthiness and historical payment experience. At that same time, we assess whether fees are fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties. In assessing whether the fee is fixed or determinable, we consider the payment terms of the transaction, including transactions with payment terms that extend beyond our customary payment terms, and our collection experience in similar transactions without making concessions, among other factors. We have periodically provided financing to credit-worthy customers with payment terms up to 24 months. If the fee is determined not to be fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized only as payments become due from the customer, provided that all

35

other revenue recognition criteria are met. Our software license arrangements generally do not include customer acceptance provisions. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, we record revenue only upon the earlier of (1) receipt of written acceptance from the customer or (2) expiration of the acceptance period.

Our software arrangements often include implementation and consulting services that are sold under consulting engagement contracts or as part of the software license arrangement. When we determine that such services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software, we record revenue separately for the license and service elements of these arrangements, provided that appropriate evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered services (see discussion below). Generally, we consider that a service is not essential to the functionality of the software based on various factors, including if the services may be provided by independent third parties experienced in providing such consulting and implementation in coordination with dedicated customer personnel and whether the services result in significant modification or customization of the software functionality. When consulting services qualify for separate accounting, consulting revenues under time and materials billing arrangements are recognized as the services are performed. Consulting revenues under fixed-priced contracts are generally recognized as the services are performed using a proportionate performance model with hours or costs as the input method of attribution. When we provide consulting services considered essential to the functionality of the software, the arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the license and service elements, and the license revenue is recognized together with the consulting services using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting. Under such arrangements, consideration is recognized as the services are performed as measured by an observable input. In these circumstances, we separate license revenue from service revenue for income statement presentation by allocating vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value of the consulting services as service revenue and the residual portion as license revenue. Under the percentage-of-completion method, we estimate the stage of completion of contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fees based on hours or costs incurred to date as compared with estimated total project hours or costs at completion. Adjustments to estimates to complete are made in the periods in which facts resulting in a change become known. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, we accrue for the estimated losses when identified. The use of the proportionate performance and percentage-of-completion methods of accounting require significant judgment relative to estimating total contract costs or hours (hours being a proxy for costs), including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed and anticipated changes in salaries and other costs.

We generally use the residual method to recognize revenue from software arrangements that include one or more elements to be delivered at a future date when evidence of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists, and the elements of the arrangement qualify for separate accounting as described above. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements (i.e., maintenance, consulting and training services) based on VSOE is deferred and the remaining portion of the total arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements (i.e., software license). If evidence of the fair value of one or more of the undelivered services does not exist, all revenues are deferred and recognized when delivery of all of those services has occurred or when fair values can be established. We determine VSOE of the fair value of services revenue based upon our recent pricing for those services when sold separately. For certain transactions, VSOE of the fair value of maintenance services is determined based on a substantive maintenance renewal clause within a customer contract. Our current pricing practices are influenced primarily by product type, purchase volume, sales channel and customer location. We review services sold separately on a periodic basis and update, when appropriate, our VSOE of fair value for such services to ensure that it reflects our recent pricing experience.

Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when contracts are closely interrelated and dependent on each other, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the substance of the group of contracts.

For subscription-based licenses, license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. In limited circumstances, where the right to use the software license is contingent upon current payments of maintenance, fees for software license and maintenance are recognized ratably over the initial maintenance term.

36

Maintenance services generally include rights to unspecified upgrades (when and if available), telephone and internet-based support, updates and bug fixes. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract on a straight-line basis.

Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenditures incurred in connection with providing consulting services are included in services revenue, with the offsetting expense recorded in cost of service revenue.

Training services include on-site and classroom training. Training revenues are recognized as the related training services are provided.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to calculate our income tax expense based on taxable income by jurisdiction. There are many transactions and calculations about which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain; as a result, our calculations involve estimates by management. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of revenue-sharing, cost-reimbursement and transfer pricing arrangements among related entities and the differing tax treatment of revenue and cost items across various jurisdictions. If we were compelled to revise or to account differently for our arrangements, that revision could affect our tax liability.

The income tax accounting process also involves estimating our actual current tax liability, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, we must establish a valuation allowance as a charge to income tax expense.

As of September 30, 2011, we have a remaining valuation allowance of $13.8 million against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a remaining valuation allowance of $24.8 million against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. consists of $3.5 million for foreign tax credits and $10.3 million for research and development credits that we have determined are not likely to be realized. The valuation allowance on foreign tax credits reflects the fact that deductions, not credits, are expected to be claimed in the U.S. in future periods. The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions is established primarily for our net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which do not expire. There are limitations imposed on the utilization of such net operating losses that could further restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

As of September 30, 2011, our net deferred tax asset balance of $121.9 million primarily relates to our U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that most of 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 having taken certain tax planning actions. We have taken and will continue to take measures to improve core earnings in the U.S., and we expect U.S. earnings to continue to improve in the near term. If the US results do not improve as anticipated, however, 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

37

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.

Valuation of Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations

In accordance with business combination accounting, we allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. Determining these fair values requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Our identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of developed technology, core technology, tradenames, customer lists and contracts, and software support agreements and related relationships. Developed technology consists of products that have reached technological feasibility. Core technology represents a combination of processes, inventions and trade secrets related to the design and development of acquired products. Customer lists and contracts and software support agreements and related relationships represent the underlying relationships and agreements with customers of the acquired company’s installed base. We have generally valued intangible assets using a discounted cash flow model. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to:

• future expected cash flows from software license sales, maintenance and customer support agreements, customer contracts and related customer relationships and acquired developed technologies and trademarks and trade names;

• expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimating cash flows from the projects when completed;

• the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used by the combined company; and

• discount rates used to determine the present value of estimated future cash flows.

In addition, we estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets based upon the expected period over which we anticipate generating economic benefits from the related intangible asset.

Net tangible assets consist of the fair values of tangible assets less the fair values of assumed liabilities and obligations. Except for deferred revenues, net tangible assets were generally valued by us at the respective carrying amounts recorded by the acquired company, as we believed that their carrying values approximated their fair values at the acquisition date.

The values assigned to deferred revenue reflect an amount equivalent to the estimated cost plus an appropriate profit margin to perform the services related to the acquired company’s software support contracts.

In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date and we reevaluate these items quarterly with any adjustments to our preliminary estimates being recorded to goodwill provided that we are within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) and we continue to collect information in order to determine their estimated values. Subsequent to the measurement period or our final determination of the estimated value of uncertain tax positions or tax related valuation allowances, whichever comes first, changes to these uncertain tax positions and tax related valuation allowances will affect our provision for income taxes in our consolidated statement of operations.

Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur, which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

38

When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable, we perform an assessment of the asset for potential impairment. This assessment is based on projected undiscounted future cash flows over the asset’s remaining life. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, we record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset, determined using projected discounted future cash flows of the asset.

Valuation of Goodwill

Our goodwill totaled $613.4 million and $418.5 million as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We assess the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important (on an overall company basis and reportable segment basis, as applicable) that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the acquired assets or a significant change in the strategy for our business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period, or a reduction of our market capitalization relative to net book value.

The goodwill impairment test prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to identify reporting units and to determine estimates of the fair values of our reporting units as of the date we test for impairment. Determining the fair value of our reporting units for the purpose of testing the potential impairment of individual assets and goodwill requires significant judgment by management. Different judgments could yield different results.

To conduct these tests of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair value, we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of goodwill and its implied fair value. We estimate the fair values of our reporting units using discounted cash flow valuation models. Those models require estimates of future revenues, profits, capital expenditures, working capital, terminal values based on revenue multiples, and discount rates for each reporting unit. We estimate these amounts by evaluating historical trends, current budgets, operating plans and industry data. We conduct our annual impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the third quarter of each fiscal year. We completed our annual impairment review as of July 2, 2011 and concluded that no impairment charge was required as of that date. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit was approximately double or better than its carrying value. Revenue growth and operating margin projections are significant assumptions in our analysis. A 10% decrease in those assumptions would not have had an impact on the results of our impairment analysis.

Accounting for Pensions

In the U.S., we sponsor a frozen pension plan covering mostly inactive participants. We make several assumptions that are used in calculating the expense and liability of this plan. These key assumptions include the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate. In selecting the expected long-term rate of return on assets, we consider the average future rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the benefits under the pension plan. This includes considering the plan’s asset allocations and the expected returns likely to be earned over the life of this plan. The discount rate reflects the estimated rate at which an amount that is invested in a portfolio of high-quality debt instruments would provide the future cash flows necessary to pay benefits when they come due. The U.S. discount rate is determined using a spot rate yield curve method based on the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve. The discount rate for Germany was selected with reference to a spot-rate yield curve based on the yields of Aa-rated Euro-denominated corporate bonds. In addition, our actuarial consultants determine the expense and liabilities of the plan using other assumptions for future experience, such as mortality rates. The actuarial assumptions used by us may differ materially from actual results due to changing

39

market and economic conditions or longer or shorter life spans of the participants. Our actual results could differ materially from those we estimated, which could require us to record a greater amount of pension expense in future years and/or require higher than expected cash contributions. In determining our U.S. pension cost for 2011, 2010 and 2009, we used a discount rate of 5.00%, 5.50%, and 7.50% respectively, and an expected return on plan assets of 7.25% for 2011 and 7.50% for 2010 and 2009.

Certain of our international subsidiaries also sponsor pension plans. Accounting and reporting for these plans requires the use of country-specific assumptions for discount rates and expected rates of return on assets. We apply a consistent methodology in determining the key assumptions that, in addition to future experience assumptions such as mortality rates, are used by our actuaries to determine our liability and expense for each of these plans. In determining our pension cost for 2011, 2010 and 2009, we used weighted average discount rates of 4.0%, 5.1% and 5.7%, respectively, and weighted average expected returns on plan assets of 5.6%, 6.1% and 6.2%, respectively.

In 2011, our actual return on plan assets in total for all plans was a loss of $1.6 million, while in 2010 and 2009 our actual return on plan assets was a gain of $7.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Continued distress in global financial markets has caused, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuation of others. If actual returns are below our expected rates of return, it will impact the amount and timing of future contributions and expense for these plans.

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, our plans in total were underfunded, representing the difference between our projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets, by $68.2 million and $57.3 million, respectively. The projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2011 was determined using a discount rate of 4.5% for the U.S. plan and a weighted average discount rate of 4.8% for our international plans. The most sensitive assumptions used in calculating the expense and liability of our pension plans are the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets. Total net periodic pension cost was $5.0 million in 2011 and we expect it to be approximately $6 million in 2012. A 50 basis point change to our discount rate and expected return on plan assets assumptions would have changed our pension expense for the year ended September 30, 2011 by less than $1 million. A 50 basis point decrease in our discount rate assumptions would increase our projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2011 by approximately $13 million.

Legal Contingencies

We are periodically subject to various legal claims and involved in various legal proceedings. We routinely review the status of each significant matter and assess our potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any matter is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of inherent uncertainties related to these legal matters, we base our loss accruals on the best information available at the time. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. As additional information becomes available, we reassess our potential liability and may revise our estimates. Such revisions could have a material impact on future quarterly or annual results of operations.

Cash provided (used) by financing activities		150,420			(120,735	)		(32,452	)

We invest our cash with highly rated financial institutions and in diversified domestic and international money market mutual funds. The portfolio is invested in short-term instruments to ensure cash is available to meet requirements as needed.

2011 compared to 2010

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the resolution, as previously disclosed, of a litigation matter in Japan, which reduced our cash balance by approximately $48 million in the first quarter of 2011, including $52.1 million paid to settle the matter, and the timing of cash collections on accounts receivable described below. In addition, in 2011, net cash outflows related to compensation accruals were higher than 2010 due primarily to our full achievement of performance-based and incentive cash plan targets in 2010 (paid in 2011), while such targets were only partially achieved in 2009 (paid in 2010).

Accounts receivable was $230.2 million, $169.3 million and $166.6 million at September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable at the end of 2011 as compared to 2010 is due primarily to revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011 being $71.3 million higher than in the fourth quarter of 2010. Cash collections on accounts receivable remained strong with days sales outstanding of 62 days as of September 30, 2011 compared to 57 days as of September 30, 2010.

We periodically provide financing to credit-worthy customers with payment terms up to 24 months. Other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include non-current receivables from customers related to extended payment term contracts totaling $17.1 million at both September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Cash paid for income taxes was $28.1 million, $34.3 million and $55.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

2010 compared to 2009

The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to:

• higher profitability (income before income taxes increased $64.9 million to $82.1 million in 2010 from $17.2 million in 2009);

• lower payments related to 2009 year-end incentive compensation accruals; and

• income tax payments that were $21.3 million lower in 2010 compared to 2009.

These increases were partially offset by 2009 benefitting from cash collections of 2008 accounts receivable which totaled $201.5 million as of September 30, 2008. Cash collections on accounts receivable were strong with days sales outstanding of 57 days as of the end of 2010, compared to 62 days as of the end of 2009. Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets included non-current receivables from customers related to extended payment term contracts totaling $17.1 million and $10.5 million at September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which negatively impacted our cash flows from operating activities in 2010 by $6.6 million.

In 2011, we acquired MKS for an aggregate purchase price of $298 million ($265.2 million net of cash acquired) and completed several smaller acquisitions in each year shown. Our expenditures for property and equipment consist primarily of computer equipment, software, office equipment and facility improvements.

	$	150,420		$	(120,735	)	$	(32,452	)

The increase in proceeds from issuance of common stock was due to higher stock option exercises in 2011 (1.9 million options) compared to 2010 (1.5 million options) and 2009 (0.6 million options). As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately 3.0 million stock options outstanding (including 0.1 million shares granted in connection with our acquisition of MKS). These options expire on various dates through 2017, including 1.2 million in 2012, 0.8 million in 2013 and 0.9 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.

Share Repurchase Authorization

Our Board of Directors has periodically authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock. Under our current authorization they have 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 2011, we repurchased 2.6 million shares at a cost of $54.9 million. In 2010 and 2009, we repurchased 3.7 million shares at a cost of $62.5 million and 1.2 million shares at a cost of $14.2 million, respectively. 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.

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.

42

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 September 30, 2011, we had $200 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility. In October 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.

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 September 30, 2011, our leverage ratio was 0.85 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.08 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

In 2010 and 2009, we repaid revolving credit facility borrowings of $50.8 million and $32.0 million, respectively, which was the remaining balance of $220 million we had borrowed in the first quarter of 2008 in connection with our acquisition of CoCreate.

For a description of additional terms and conditions of the credit facility, including limitations on our ability to undertake certain actions, see Note H Long Term Debt in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Annual Report.

Expectations for Fiscal 2012

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term capital requirements. In addition, we expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in 2012 to repurchase $55 million worth of shares of our common stock and to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility to achieve a balance of $100 million outstanding as of September 30, 2012. Capital expenditures in 2012 are currently anticipated to be approximately $31 million.

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 September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $79.0 million in Europe, $26.7 million in the United States, $36.7 million in the Pacific Rim (including India), $13.3 million in Japan and $12.2 million in other non-U.S. countries. As of September 30, 2011, we had an outstanding intercompany loan receivable of $334.5 million, primarily resulting from our business reorganizations described in Income Taxes above, owed to the U.S. from our top tier foreign subsidiary. This amount can be repaid with cash generated by our foreign subsidiaries and repatriated to the U.S. without future tax cost.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2011, our contractual obligations were as follows:

	Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
	(in millions)
Operating leases (1)	$	213.9	$	38.5	$	55.7	$	38.7	$	81.0

Unrecognized tax benefits (4)		16.2		—		—		—		—
Total	$	333.4	$	69.6	$	85.2	$	56.7	$	105.7

(1) The future minimum lease payments above include minimum future lease payments for excess facilities under noncancellable operating leases, net of expected sublease income under existing sublease arrangements. These leases qualify for operating lease accounting treatment and, as such, are not included on our balance sheet. See Note I of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our operating leases.

(2) Purchase obligations represent minimum commitments due to third parties, including royalty contracts, research and development contracts, telecommunication contracts, information technology maintenance contracts in support of internal-use software and hardware and other marketing and consulting contracts. Contracts for which our commitment is variable based on volumes, with no fixed minimum quantities, and contracts that can be cancelled without payment penalties have been excluded. The purchase obligations included above are in addition to amounts included in current liabilities recorded on our September 30, 2011 consolidated balance sheet.

(3) These obligations relate to our U.S. and international pension plans. These liabilities are not subject to fixed payment terms. Payments have been estimated based on the plans’ current funded status and actuarial assumptions. In addition, we may, at our discretion, make additional voluntary contributions to the plans. See Note M of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion.

(4) As of September 30, 2011, we had recorded total unrecognized tax benefits of $16.2 million. This liability is not subject to fixed payment terms and the amount and timing of payments, if any, which we will make related to this liability, are not known. See Note G of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.

As of September 30, 2011, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of approximately $3.8 million (of which $1.1 million was collateralized), primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease in Needham, Massachusetts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated (to the extent of our ownership interest therein) into our financial statements. We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We face exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.

Foreign currency exchange risk

Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to Canada, Western European countries, China and Japan. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that arise from receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. We do not enter into or hold foreign currency derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes nor do we enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge future cash flow or forecasted transactions.

Our non-U.S. revenues generally are transacted through our non-U.S. subsidiaries and typically are denominated in their local currency. In addition, our non-U.S. expenses that are incurred by our non-U.S. subsidiaries typically are denominated in their local currency. Approximately 65%, 63% and 64% of our total revenue was from sales to customers outside of the United States in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Approximately 52%, 49% and 52% of our total expenses were incurred by our subsidiaries domiciled outside of the United States in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from intercompany transactions, with most intercompany transactions occurring between a U.S. dollar functional currency entity and a foreign currency denominated entity. Intercompany transactions typically are denominated in the local currency of the non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary in order to centralize foreign currency risk. Also, both PTC (the parent company) and our non-U.S. subsidiaries may transact business with our customers and vendors in a currency other than their functional currency (transaction risk). In addition, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results and balances of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars (translation risk). If sales to customers outside of the United States increase, our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could increase.

Our foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the U.S. dollar value of balances denominated in foreign currency, resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our foreign currency hedging program uses forward contracts to manage the foreign currency exposures that exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The contracts primarily are denominated in Canadian Dollars and European currencies, and have maturities of less than three months.

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 foreign currency net losses.

45

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

Currency Hedged	September 30,
	2011		2010

Total	$	212,932	$	148,813

Debt

As of September 30, 2011, the amount outstanding under our variable-rate revolving credit facility was $200.0 million. This loan is subject to interest rate risk as interest rates will be adjusted at each rollover date to the extent such amounts are not repaid. As of September 30, 2011, the annual rate is 1.6875%, which will reset on November 22, 2011 at which time accrued interest is due and the interest rate will reset to then current rates as defined in the loan agreement. If there was a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates, the annual net impact to earnings and cash flows would be $2.0 million. This hypothetical change in cash flows and earnings has been calculated based on the borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2011 and a 100 basis point per annum change in interest rate applied over a one-year period.

Cash and cash equivalents

As of September 30, 2011, cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. We invest our cash with highly rated financial institutions in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific and in diversified domestic and international money market mutual funds. At September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $79.0 million in Europe, $26.7 million in the United States, $36.7 million in the Pacific Rim (including India), $13.3 million in Japan and $12.2 million in other non-U.S. countries. Given the short maturities and investment grade quality of the portfolio holdings at September 30, 2011, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents.

Our invested cash is subject to interest rate fluctuations and, for non-U.S. operations, foreign currency risk. In a declining interest rate environment, we would experience a decrease in interest income. The opposite holds true in a rising interest rate environment. Over the past several years, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, European Central Bank and Bank of England have changed certain benchmark interest rates, which have led to declines and increases in market interest rates. These changes in market interest rates have resulted in fluctuations in interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income will continue to fluctuate based on changes in market interest rates and levels of cash available for investment. Our consolidated cash balances were impacted favorably by $6.4 million and $3.8 million in 2011 and 2009, respectively, and unfavorably by $1.3 million in 2010 due to changes in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly the Euro and the Japanese Yen.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation 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.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2011.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

• Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment and those criteria, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Management excluded MKS from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, as of September 30, 2011, because it was acquired by us in a business combination during the third quarter of 2011. MKS’s total assets and total revenue represented less than 2% and 3%, respectively, of our related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011.

47

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears under Item 8.

Change 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 September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) was incorporated in 1985 and is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts. PTC develops, markets and supports software solutions, primarily product lifecycle management (PLM) and CAx solutions that help companies design products, manage product information and improve their product development processes. 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 software solutions are complemented by our services and technical support organizations, as well as third-party resellers and other strategic partners, who provide training, consulting, ancillary product offerings, implementation and support to customers worldwide.

Basis of Presentation

Our fiscal year-end is September 30. The consolidated financial statements include Parametric Technology Corporation, the parent company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including those operating outside the U.S. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

We prepare our financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. that require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign Currency Translation

For our non-U.S. operations where the functional currency is the local currency, we translate assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity. For our non-U.S. operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, we remeasure monetary assets and liabilities using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates and record resulting exchange gains or losses in foreign currency net losses in the consolidated statement of operations. We translate income statement amounts at average rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in foreign currency net losses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenues from three primary sources: (1) software licenses, (2) maintenance services and (3) consulting and training services. Revenue by type for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

	Year ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2009
	(in thousands)
License revenue	$	342,121	$	296,021	$	212,710
Consulting and training services revenue		267,150		217,606		226,358
Maintenance revenue		557,678		496,422		499,117
Total revenue	$	1,166,949	$	1,010,049	$	938,185

F-6

We exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with determining the amounts of software license and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period.

For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, we recognize revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred (generally, FOB shipping point or electronic distribution), (3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is probable. Substantially all of our license revenues are recognized in this manner.

Our software is distributed primarily through our direct sales force. In addition, we have an indirect distribution channel through alliances with resellers. Revenue arrangements with resellers are recognized on a sell-through basis; that is, when we deliver the product to the end-user customer. We record consideration given to a reseller as a reduction of revenue to the extent we have recorded revenue from the reseller. We do not offer contractual rights of return, stock balancing, or price protection to our resellers, and actual product returns from them have been insignificant to date. As a result, we do not maintain reserves for reseller product returns.

At the time of each sale transaction, we must make an assessment of the collectability of the amount due from the customer. Revenue is only recognized at that time if management deems that collection is probable. In making this assessment, we consider customer credit-worthiness and historical payment experience. At that same time, we assess whether fees are fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties. In assessing whether the fee is fixed or determinable, we consider the payment terms of the transaction, including transactions with payment terms that extend beyond our customary payment terms, and our collection experience in similar transactions without making concessions, among other factors. We have periodically provided financing to credit-worthy customers with payment terms up to 24 months. If the fee is determined not to be fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized only as payments become due from the customer, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Our software license arrangements generally do not include customer acceptance provisions. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, we record revenue only upon the earlier of (1) receipt of written acceptance from the customer or (2) expiration of the acceptance period.

Our software arrangements often include implementation and consulting services that are sold under consulting engagement contracts or as part of the software license arrangement. When we determine that such services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software, we record revenue separately for the license and service elements of these arrangements, provided that appropriate evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered services (see discussion below). Generally, we consider that a service is not essential to the functionality of the software based on various factors, including if the services may be provided by independent third parties experienced in providing such consulting and implementation in coordination with dedicated customer personnel and whether the services result in significant modification or customization of the software functionality. When consulting services qualify for separate accounting, consulting revenues under time and materials billing arrangements are recognized as the services are performed. Consulting revenues under fixed-priced contracts are generally recognized as the services are performed using a proportionate performance model with hours or costs as the input method of attribution. When we provide consulting services considered essential to the functionality of the software, the arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the license and service elements, and the license revenue is recognized together with the consulting services using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting. Under such arrangements, consideration is recognized as the services are performed as measured by an observable input. In these circumstances, we separate license revenue from service revenue for income statement presentation by allocating vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value of the consulting services as service revenue and the residual portion as license revenue. Under the percentage-of-completion method, we estimate the stage of completion of contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fees based on hours or costs incurred to date as compared with estimated total project hours or costs at completion. Adjustments to estimates to complete are made in the periods in which facts resulting in a change become known. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, we accrue for the estimated losses when identified. The use of the proportionate performance and percentage-of-completion methods of accounting require significant judgment relative to estimating total contract costs or hours (hours being a proxy for costs), including

F-7

assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed and anticipated changes in salaries and other costs.

We generally use the residual method to recognize revenue from software arrangements that include one or more elements to be delivered at a future date when evidence of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists, and the elements of the arrangement qualify for separate accounting as described above. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements (i.e., maintenance, consulting and training services) based on VSOE is deferred and the remaining portion of the total arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements (i.e., software license). If evidence of the fair value of one or more of the undelivered services does not exist, all revenues are deferred and recognized when delivery of all of those services has occurred or when fair values can be established. We determine VSOE of the fair value of services revenue based upon our recent pricing for those services when sold separately. For certain transactions, VSOE of the fair value of maintenance services is determined based on a substantive maintenance renewal clause within a customer contract. Our current pricing practices are influenced primarily by product type, purchase volume, sales channel and customer location. We review services sold separately on a periodic basis and update, when appropriate, our VSOE of fair value for such services to ensure that it reflects our recent pricing experience.

Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when contracts are closely interrelated and dependent on each other, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the substance of the group of contracts.

For subscription-based licenses, license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. In limited circumstances, where the right to use the software license is contingent upon current payments of maintenance, fees for software license and maintenance are recognized ratably over the initial maintenance term.

Maintenance services generally include rights to unspecified upgrades (when and if available), telephone and internet-based support, updates and bug fixes. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract on a straight-line basis.

Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenditures incurred in connection with providing consulting services are included in services revenue, with the offsetting expense recorded in cost of service revenue.

Training services include on-site and classroom training. Training revenues are recognized as the related training services are provided.

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 amount is included in other current assets. Billed but uncollected maintenance-related amounts included in other current assets at September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $93.0 million and $76.8 million, respectively. Deferred revenue consisted of the following:

	September 30,

We have established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that are intended to maintain safety and liquidity. Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of investments, trade accounts receivable and foreign currency derivative instruments. Our cash, cash equivalents, investments and foreign currency derivatives are placed with financial institutions with high credit standings. Our credit risk for derivatives is also mitigated due to the short-term nature of the contracts. Our customer base consists of large numbers of geographically diverse customers dispersed across many industries, and no individual customer comprised more than 10% of our net trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 or 2010.

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. Accounting standards 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 September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	September 30,
	2011		2010
	(in thousands)
Financial assets
Cash equivalents—Level 1 (1)	$	36,018	$	86,826
Forward contracts—Level 2		5,510		—

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic conditions, accounts receivable aging trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable was $3.9 million as of September 30, 2011, $4.6 million as of September 30, 2010, $5.3 million as of September 30, 2009 and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2008. Uncollectible trade accounts receivable written-off, net of recoveries, were $0.8 million, $1.9 million and $1.5 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Provisions for bad debt expense were $0.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Financing Receivables and Transfers of Financial Assets

We periodically provide financing for software purchases to credit-worthy customers with payment terms up to 24 months. The determination on 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. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, amounts due from customers for contracts with extended payment terms (financing receivables) totaled $72.3 million and $44.3 million, respectively. Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include current receivables from such contracts totaling $55.2 million and $27.2 million at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include long-term receivables from such contracts totaling $17.1 million at both September 30, 2011 and 2010. We evaluate estimated credit losses on financing receivables based on whether the customers are making payments as they become due, customer credit-worthiness and economic conditions. We write off uncollectible trade and financing receivables when we have exhausted all collection avenues. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 2011, 2010 and 2009.

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. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, we sold $4.1 million, $31.6 million and $16.7 million, respectively, of financing receivables to third-party financial institutions.

Derivatives

Generally accepted accounting principles require all derivatives, whether designated in a hedging relationship or not, to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the derivative’s fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from one or more underlying financial instruments, such as foreign currency. We enter into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that arise primarily from our foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily denominated in European currencies, typically have maturities of less than three months and require an exchange of foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity of the contracts at rates agreed to at inception of the contracts. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. 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 foreign currency net losses.

F-10

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

	September 30,
Currency Hedged	2011		2010
	(in thousands)
Canadian/U.S. Dollar	$	92,748	$	1,280
Euro/U.S. Dollar		65,773		113,546
British Pound/Euro		3,993		—
Indian Rupee/U.S. Dollar		—		20,262
Chinese Renminbi/U.S. Dollar		19,973		5,443
Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar		13,676		—
Swiss Franc/U.S. Dollar		9,419		—
All other		7,350		8,282
Total	$	212,932	$	148,813

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include a net asset of $5.5 million in other current assets as of September 30, 2011, and a net liability of $2.0 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of September 30, 2010 related to the fair value of our forward contracts.

Net gains and losses on foreign currency exposures, including realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts, included in foreign currency net losses, were net losses of $12.3 million, $2.9 million and $3.6 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Excluding the underlying foreign currency exposure being hedged, net realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts included in foreign currency net losses, were net losses of $4.1 million, $1.8 million and $3.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2011, in connection with our planned acquisition of MKS, we entered into forward contracts to purchase CDN$292 million (equivalent to approximately $305 million when we entered into the contracts). We entered into these 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 to acquire MKS (the purchase price was in Canadian Dollars) and the expected closing date. In the third quarter of 2011, we settled these contracts and recorded a net foreign currency loss of $4.4 million.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Computer hardware and software are typically amortized over three to five years, and furniture and fixtures over three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the remaining terms of the related leases. Property and equipment under capital leases are amortized over the lesser of the lease terms or their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred; additions and improvements are capitalized. When an item is sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is relieved, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income.

Software Development Costs

We incur costs to develop computer software to be licensed or otherwise marketed to customers. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs of internally developed or externally purchased software that qualify for capitalization. Development costs for software to be sold externally incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, but prior to the general release of the product, are capitalized and, upon general release, are amortized using the greater of either the straight-line method over the expected life of the related products or based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related to such assets are realized. The straight-line method is used if it approximates the same amount of expense as that calculated using the ratio

F-11

that current period gross product revenues bear to total anticipated gross product revenues. No development costs for software to be sold externally were capitalized in 2011, 2010 or 2009. In connection with acquisitions of businesses described in Note E, we capitalized software of $44.9 million, $0.4 million and $6.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These assets are included in acquired intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill, Acquired Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of acquired net assets in a business acquisition exceeded the fair values of net identifiable assets on the date of our purchase.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Factors we consider important, on an overall company basis and reportable-segment basis, when applicable, that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period and a reduction of our market capitalization relative to net book value. To conduct these tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. We estimate the fair values of our reporting units using discounted cash flow valuation models.

Long-lived assets primarily include property and equipment and acquired intangible assets with finite lives (including purchased software, customer lists and trademarks). Purchased software is amortized over 3 to 10 years, customer lists are amortized over 5 to 12 years and trademarks are amortized over 3 to 7 years. We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses incurred were $2.6 million, $2.4 million and $2.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effects of these differences are reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax operating loss and credit carryforwards. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we include an expense within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of operations.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which includes foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in unrecognized actuarial gains and losses related to pension benefits. For the purposes of comprehensive income disclosures, we do not record tax provisions or

F-12

benefits for the net changes in the foreign currency translation adjustment, as we intend to reinvest permanently undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity and, as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, was comprised of cumulative translation adjustment losses of $5.4 million and gains of $1.8 million, respectively, and unrecognized actuarial losses related to pension benefits net of tax of $59.4 million and $54.3 million, respectively.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. 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 restricted stock units 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.

The following table presents the calculation for both basic and diluted EPS:

	Year ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2009
	(in thousands, except per share data)
Net income	$	85,424	$	24,368	$	31,522
Weighted average shares outstanding		117,579		115,639		114,950
Dilutive effect of employee stock options, restricted shares and restricted stock units		3,395		4,286		2,409
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		120,974		119,925		117,359
Basic earnings per share	$	0.73	$	0.21	$	0.27
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.71	$	0.20	$	0.27

Stock options to purchase 0.2 million, 1.7 million and 3.8 million shares for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the compensation cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. See Note K for a description of the types of stock-based awards granted, the compensation expense related to such awards and detail of equity-based awards outstanding. See Note G for detail of the tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of operations related to stock-based compensation.

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. Under the amendment, 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.

F-13

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. Early adoption is permitted.

C. Restructuring Charges

We did not incur any restructuring charges in 2011 and 2010. In 2009, to reduce ongoing costs, we restructured operations resulting in restructuring charges of $22.7 million. The restructuring charges included $21.9 million for severance and related costs associated with 382 employees notified of termination during the year and $0.8 million related to excess facilities.

The following table summarizes restructuring charges reserve activity for the three years ended September 30, 2011:

	Employee Severance and Related Benefits			Facility Closures and Other Costs			Total
	(in thousands)
Balance, October 1, 2008	$	5,505			12,179			17,684
Charges to operations		21,872			799			22,671
Cash disbursements		(16,036	)		(8,665	)		(24,701	)
Foreign currency impact		455			(334	)		121
Balance, September 30, 2009		11,796			3,979			15,775
Cash disbursements		(11,710	)		(2,800	)		(14,510	)
Foreign currency impact		(86	)		(14	)		(100	)
Balance, September 30, 2010		—			1,165			1,165
Cash disbursements		—			(502	)		(502	)
Foreign currency impact		—			3			3
Balance, September 30, 2011	$	—		$	666		$	666

The accrual for facility closures and related costs is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The accrual remaining at September 30, 2011 is related to excess facilities representing gross lease commitments with agreements expiring at various dates through 2013 of approximately $2.2 million, net of committed sublease income of approximately $1.5 million.

D. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

	September 30,
	2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Computer hardware and software	$	213,362		$	189,987
Furniture and fixtures		20,608			18,557
Leasehold improvements		42,453			38,694
Gross property and equipment		276,423			247,238
Accumulated depreciation and amortization		(213,854	)		(189,174	)
Net property and equipment	$	62,569		$	58,064

Depreciation expense was $28.7 million, $28.2 million and $26.3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

F-14

E. Acquisitions

In 2011, we completed the acquisitions of MKS and 4CS described below. 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 $26.8 million to our 2011 revenue and $37.7 million of costs and expenses including acquisition-related costs of $7.8 million and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3.7 million.

In 2011, we incurred $7.8 million of acquisition-related costs, primarily associated with our acquisition of MKS. Acquisition-related costs include direct costs of completing an acquisition (i.e., investment banker fees and professional fees, including legal and valuation services) and expenses related to acquisition integration activities (i.e., professional fees and severance). These costs have been classified in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

4CS

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS), a U.S.-based privately-held company with approximately 200 employees, for $14.9 million in cash (net of $0.1 million of cash acquired). 4CS provided software solutions for warranty management and product support processes. 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.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $9.5 million; intangible assets of $11.1 million (including customer relationships of $2.7 million, purchased software of $8.0 million and trademarks of $0.4 million); and other net liabilities of $5.7 million. Intangible assets are being amortized over average useful lives of 7 years, 10 years and 5 years, respectively, based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related to such assets are expected to be realized. The goodwill and intangible assets acquired are not deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, we recorded in purchase accounting deferred tax liabilities of $4.2 million included in other net liabilities, equal to the tax effect of the intangible assets other than goodwill. We have also recorded a liability for an additional $1.2 million of contingent purchase price included in other net liabilities, the majority of which we expect to pay in the first quarter of 2012. 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), a publicly held company based in Ontario, Canada, for CDN $26.20 per share. MKS had revenues of $79 million and $63 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. MKS’s revenue for 2011 included a particularly large transaction. We acquired MKS to expand our product offerings by adding MKS’s application lifecycle management (ALM) software used in developing software intensive products to our existing software solutions. We believe that the unification of MKS’s ALM solutions with PTC’s product lifecycle management solutions will enable manufacturers to better align the development and management of a product’s hardware and software components.

F-15

The total purchase price for MKS was comprised of:

	(in thousands)
Acquisition of MKS stock	$	280,397
Acquisition of MKS vested and unvested stock options		18,040
Total purchase price		298,437
Less: MKS cash acquired		(33,193	)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired		265,244
Less: Purchase price related to PTC options issued for MKS unvested options		(91	)
Net cash used to acquire MKS	$	265,153

The purchase price included cash to settle outstanding vested stock options of MKS based on the purchase price of CDN $26.20 per share, and the conversion of unvested stock options of MKS into stock options to buy 146,998 shares of PTC common stock. We financed the transaction by drawing on our existing revolving credit facility in the amount of $250 million with the remainder funded by cash on hand.

The acquisition of MKS has been accounted for as a business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, May 31, 2011. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using an income approach, with estimates and assumptions provided by management of MKS and PTC. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon a valuation of assets and liabilities acquired.

Based upon a valuation, the total purchase price allocation was as follows:

	(in thousands)
Goodwill	$	189,758
Identifiable intangible assets		117,900
Cash		33,193
Accounts receivable		7,413
Property and equipment		4,880
Deferred revenue		(16,803	)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities, net		(32,351	)
Net assumed liabilities		(5,553	)
Total purchase price allocation		298,437
Less: MKS cash acquired		(33,193	)
Total purchase price allocation, net of cash acquired	$	265,244

The purchase price allocation resulted in $189.8 million of goodwill, the majority of which will not be deductible for income tax purposes. Intangible assets of $117.9 million includes purchased software of $36.9 million, customer relationships of $78.6 million and trademarks of $2.4 million, which are being amortized over weighted average useful lives of 7 years, 11 years and 7 years, respectively, based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related to such assets are expected to be realized. We recorded in purchase accounting deferred tax liabilities of $42.2 million, equal to the tax effect of the amount of the acquired intangible assets that are not deductible for income tax purposes and the fair value adjustment for deferred revenue. The resulting amount of goodwill reflects our expectations of the following synergistic benefits: (1) the potential to sell MKS products into our customer base and to sell PTC products into MKS’s customer base; (2) our intention to leverage our larger sales force and our intellectual property to attract new contracts and revenue; and (3) our intention to leverage our established presence in global markets.

F-16

MKS’s results of operations have been included in PTC’s 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 for all periods presented also 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. For the year ended September 30, 2011, the pro forma financial information is based on PTC’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2011, which includes MKS’s results beginning May 31, 2011, combined with MKS’s results of operations for the eight months ended May 30, 2011. For the year ended September 30, 2010 , the pro forma financial information is based on PTC’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2010, combined with MKS’s results of operations for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 (due to differences in reporting periods).

Relex

In 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Relex Software Corporation, a U.S.-based privately-held company with approximately 50 employees, for $24.3 million in cash (net of $0.8 million of cash acquired and including $0.3 million of acquisition-related transaction costs). Relex provided software and services used to analyze design and field data to assist in evaluating and improving product reliability and safety. Relex’s results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning June 4, 2009. Our results of operations prior to this acquisition, if presented on a pro forma basis, would not differ materially from our reported results.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $13.4 million; intangible assets of $12.4 million (including customer relationships of $8.1 million being amortized over 9 years, purchased software of $3.6 million being amortized over 8 years, trademarks of $0.4 million being amortized over 2 years and other intangible assets of $0.3 million being amortized over 3 years); and other net liabilities of $0.7 million. Substantially all of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired are deductible for income tax purposes as a result of a tax election made by us. In addition, the purchase price allocation resulted in a charge of $0.3 million for in-process research and development related to a project under development for which technological feasibility had not yet been established at the acquisition date and for which there was no alternative future use. This development project was completed in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Synapsis

In 2009, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Synapsis Technology, Inc., a provider of environmental regulatory compliance solutions, for $7.5 million in cash. Synapsis was a privately-held U.S.-based company with approximately 20 employees. The results of the Synapsis business have been included in our

F-17

consolidated financial statements beginning December 11, 2008. Our results of operations prior to this acquisition, if presented on a pro forma basis, would not differ materially from our reported results.

The Synapsis acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $2.0 million; intangible assets of $4.9 million (including purchased software of $2.4 million and customer relationships of $2.5 million, which are being amortized over estimated useful lives of 7 and 8 years, respectively); and other net assets of $0.5 million. Substantially all of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired are deductible for income tax purposes.

F. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

We have two reportable segments: (1) software products and (2) services. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable segment was $806.0 million and $524.3 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment was $29.4 million and $22.1 million, respectively. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reporting segment below its carrying value. We completed our annual impairment review as of July 2, 2011 and concluded that no impairment charge was required as of that date. Through September 30, 2011, there have not been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangible assets may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2011						September 30, 2010
	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.

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill at September 30, 2011 from October 1, 2009 are due to the impact of acquisitions (described in Note E) and to foreign currency translation adjustments related to those asset balances that are recorded in non-U.S. currencies.

The reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and our effective income tax rate is shown below:

Effective income tax rate		18	%		70	%		(84	)%

In 2011, 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 and a $2.3 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. Our 2011 tax provision reflects a $7.5 million provision related to a research and development cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. A similar prepayment was made in 2010 resulting in a $6.0 million provision in that year. As a result, the net increase to the 2011 provision was $1.5 million. This impact is included in foreign rate differences in our effective tax rate reconciliation above. Also included in foreign rate differences is the effect of permanent items in foreign jurisdictions and the current year deferred charge associated with intercompany transactions.

In 2011, we continued our business reorganization of our legal entity structure which began in 2010 to support our tax and cash planning. The 2011 reorganization resulted in a $46.4 million taxable gain in the U.S. The tax on this gain was offset in part by the reversal of a deferred tax liability for unremitted earnings of a foreign subsidiary of $6.5 million (established in 2010 in contemplation of this transaction), the recognition of foreign tax credits previously not benefitted, and foreign tax credits generated as a result of this transaction.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we completed a reorganization of our legal entity structure to support our tax and cash planning. The objective of this reorganization was to enable significant re-deployment and

F-20

repatriation of cash between our international and domestic operations. This reorganization resulted in $446 million of foreign source taxable gain in the U.S., which was offset by foreign tax credits, primarily generated as a result of this transaction, and carry forward credits available. A significant amount of these carry forward credits were previously unrecognized due to the uncertainty of generating foreign source income in the U.S. The net tax effect of this reorganization was a $43.4 million tax provision in the U.S. While this reorganization drove a one-time increase in our 2010 effective income tax rate of 53%, it had no material effect on cash taxes paid. Our 2010 tax provision reflected a $6.0 million provision related to a research and development (R&D) cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. This prepayment had no impact on our 2010 tax rate as the same prepayment was made in 2009 (as described below). Additionally, we established a full valuation allowance on foreign tax credits not expected to be realized.

Significant items impacting the tax provision in 2009 include a $7.6 million one-time tax benefit in connection with litigation in a foreign jurisdiction, a $2.2 million tax benefit related to settlement of a foreign tax audit, a $6.0 million tax provision (included in foreign rate differential) from a research and development (R&D) cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary and a $1.2 million tax benefit related to R&D tax credits triggered by a retroactive extension of the tax credit enacted during the first quarter of 2009.

In the first quarter of 2009, we completed a realignment of our European business which, in part, resulted in a one-time taxable gain in the U.S. This taxable gain enabled us to recognize current year and previously unrecognized tax credits. The resulting tax impact of this one-time gain was deferred over the useful life of the property being transferred and as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet included deferred charges of $11.4 million ($3.6 million in other current assets and $7.8 million in other assets) and $15.0 million ($3.6 million in other current assets and $11.4 million in other assets), respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2011, there was an additional realignment of our European business where the tax impact was also deferred.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, income taxes payable and income tax accruals recorded in accrued income taxes, other current liabilities, and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $27.5 million ($11.9 million in accrued income taxes, $5.4 million in other current liabilities and $10.2 million in other liabilities) and $12.5 million ($0.5 million in accrued income taxes, $4.0 million in other current liabilities and $8.0 million in other liabilities), respectively. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, prepaid taxes recorded in prepaid expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $1.9 million and $6.9 million, respectively. We made net income tax payments of $28.1 million, $34.3 million and $55.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Total deferred tax liabilities		(69,909	)		(53,326	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	121,856		$	103,487

The change in the net deferred tax asset to $121.9 million in 2011 from $103.5 million in 2010 includes an increase in deferred tax liabilities as a result of the MKS and 4CS acquisitions as described in Note E, the use of foreign tax credits and a corresponding release of the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits as a result of the reorganization of our legal entity structure described above, capitalized research and development expense and a change in accounting method for short term deferred maintenance revenue in the U.S.

For U.S. tax return purposes, net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) and tax credits are generally available to be carried forward to future years, subject to certain limitations. At September 30, 2011, we had U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of $14.5 million from acquisitions, consisting of $11.2 million from MKS which expire beginning in 2020 through 2030, $1.2 million from CoCreate which expire beginning in 2019 through 2027, $0.6 million from Computervision, which expire in 2017 and $1.5 million from 4CS which expire in 2030. The utilization of these NOL carryforwards is limited as a result of the change in ownership rules under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. In conjunction with filing our U.S. federal income tax return for fiscal 2008, and certain elections made on that return which were made in support of the European realignment but were previously not considered, we utilized net operating loss carryforwards that included windfall tax deductions for stock-based compensation expense. The windfall tax benefit realized for these deductions totaling $13.9 million was credited to additional paid-in capital in 2009.

As of September 30, 2011, we also had U.S. federal research and development credit carryforwards of $3.4 million, which expire beginning in 2030 and ending in 2031 and Massachusetts research and development credit

F-22

carryforwards of $10.3 million, which expire beginning in 2016 and ending in 2026. A full valuation allowance is recorded against the Massachusetts research and development credit carryforwards.

We also have loss carryforwards in non-U.S. jurisdictions totaling $112.1 million, the majority of which do not expire. There are limitations imposed on the utilization of such NOLs that could further restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

As of September 30, 2011, we have a valuation allowance of $13.8 million against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a remaining valuation allowance of $24.8 million against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. consists of $3.5 million for foreign tax credits and $10.3 million for Massachusetts research and development credits. The valuation allowance on foreign tax credits reflects the fact that deductions, not credits, are expected to be claimed in the U.S. in future periods. The valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions is established primarily for our net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which do not expire. There are limitations imposed on the utilization of such net operating losses that could further restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

Significant management judgment is required to determine whether the future realization of our net deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance of $38.6 million as of September 30, 2011 is considered more likely than not. If and when we conclude that realization is more likely than not, we will record a reduction to our valuation allowance that will result in an increase to net income and additional paid-in capital in the period such determination is made.

As of September 30, 2011, our net deferred tax asset balance of $121.9 million primarily relates to our U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that most of 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 having taken certain tax planning actions. We have taken and will continue to take measures to improve core earnings in the U.S. and we expect U.S. earnings to continue to improve in the near term. If the U.S. results do not improve as anticipated, however, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets may be required. We will continue to reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period.

The changes to the valuation allowance were primarily due to:

	Year ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2009
	(in millions)
Valuation allowance beginning of year	$	40.5		$	46.3		$	66.0

Other		—			—			(0.5	)
Valuation allowance end of year	$	38.6		$	40.5		$	46.3

(1) In 2011, 2010 and 2009, this net reduction is primarily attributed to the release of the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits in the U.S. In both 2011 and 2010, this was the result of the subsidiary reorganizations

F-23

described previously. As such, the current year change is included in subsidiary reorganization in the reconciliation between our statutory income tax rate and our effective income tax rate. In 2009, this was the result of the realignment of our European business. The benefit of this release is deferred over the useful life of the property being transferred. The 2009 valuation allowance release amount is included in foreign rate differences in the reconciliation between our statutory income tax rate and our effective income tax rate.

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 2011, 2010 and 2009, we included in our income tax provision $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of net interest expense and penalty expense of $0.1 million in 2010. In 2011 and 2009, we had no tax penalty expense in our income tax provision. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had accrued $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of net estimated interest expense related to income tax accruals. We had no accrued tax penalties as of September 30, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

As of September 30, 2011, we had an unrecognized tax benefit of $16.2 million ($15.9 million net of tax benefits from other jurisdictions). As of September 30, 2010, we had an unrecognized tax benefit of $15.9 million ($15.6 million net of tax benefits from other jurisdictions). If all of our unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2011 were to become recognizable in the future, we would record a $15.6 million benefit to the income tax provision. Changes in the unrecognized tax benefit were due to:

	Year ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2009
	(in millions)
Unrecognized tax benefit beginning of year	$	15.9		$	16.9		$	26.3
Tax positions related to current year		1.1			1.2			3.8
Tax positions related to prior years		(0.8	)		(2.2	)		(12.3	)
Settlements		—			—			(0.9	)
Unrecognized tax benefit end of year	$	16.2		$	15.9		$	16.9

In 2009, we closed the IRS examination of PTC’s U.S. federal tax years 2005 through 2007. The completion of the examination resulted in a decrease of unrecognized tax benefits of $9.4 million and a net benefit of $0.3 million to the tax provision. 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 anticipate the settlement of tax audits may be finalized within the next twelve months and could result in a decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits of up to $4 million.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities, including the IRS in the United States. As of September 30, 2011, we remained subject to examination in the following major tax jurisdictions for the tax years indicated:

Major Tax Jurisdiction	Open Years
United States	2003, 2008 through 2011
Germany	2007 through 2011
France	2007 through 2011
Japan	2005 through 2011
Ireland	2006 through 2011

We incurred expenses related to stock-based compensation in 2011, 2010 and 2009 of $45.4 million, $48.9 million and $43.3 million, respectively. Accounting for the tax effects of stock-based awards requires that we establish a deferred tax asset as the compensation is recognized for financial reporting prior to recognizing the tax deductions. The tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of operations related to stock-based compensation totaled $13.6 million, $14.8 million and $13.9 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Upon the settlement of the stock-based awards (i.e., exercise, vesting, forfeiture or cancellation), the actual tax deduction is compared with the cumulative financial reporting compensation cost and any excess tax deduction is

F-24

considered a windfall tax benefit, and is tracked in a “windfall tax benefit pool” to offset any future tax deduction shortfalls and will be recorded as increases to additional paid-in capital in the period when the tax deduction reduces income taxes payable. In 2011, we recorded a net windfall of $9.4 million. In 2010, we recorded a net shortfall of $1.1 million. We follow the with-and-without approach for the direct effects of windfall tax deductions to determine the timing of the recognition of benefits for windfall tax deductions. As of September 30, 2011, the tax effect of windfall tax deductions which had not yet reduced taxes payable was $9.4 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, in conjunction with the subsidiary reorganization completed in 2010 and a subsequent transfer executed in 2011, we changed our assertion on the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries resulting in a tax charge of $43.4 million in 2010 and a benefit of $0.7 million was recorded to foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income. With the exception of this continued reorganization, we have not provided for U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on foreign unrepatriated earnings as it is our current intention to permanently reinvest these earnings outside the U.S. If we decide to change this assertion in the future to repatriate any additional non-U.S. earnings, we may be required to establish a deferred tax liability on such earnings through a charge to our income tax provision. The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries for which U.S. income taxes have not been provided totaled approximately $99 million and $27 million as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on the undistributed earnings cannot be practicably determined at this time. However, we do currently have an outstanding loan receivable in the amount of $334.5 million owed to the U.S. from our top tier foreign subsidiary that can be repaid to repatriate foreign generated cash to the U.S. without tax cost.

H. 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. In September 2011, we re-negotiated the terms of the credit facility with our existing lenders including a two year extension of the agreement and more favorable interest and covenant terms. The terms of the amended facility are included herein. The credit facility now 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. As of September 30, 2011, the annual rate is 1.6875%, which will reset to then current rates as defined below on November 22, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we had $200 million outstanding under the credit facility. We did not have any borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at September 30, 2010.

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 .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

F-25

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 September 30, 2011, our leverage ratio was 0.85 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.08 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

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.

In connection with entering into the credit facility and amending the facility in 2011, we incurred $1.0 million and $2.6 million of origination costs in 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are being expensed over the term of the credit facility.

In 2011, 2010 and 2009, we paid $1.5 million, $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of interest on our revolving credit facility. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding during 2011, 2010 and 2009 and was approximately 2.1%, 1.6% and 3.2%, respectively.

I. Commitments and Contingencies

Leasing Arrangements

We lease office facilities and certain equipment under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2023. Certain leases require us to pay for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses in addition to rent. Lease expense, net of sublease income, was $35.7 million, $37.5 million and $39.2 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At September 30, 2011, our future minimum lease payments (net of sublease income) under noncancellable operating leases are as follows:

Year ending September 30,	(in thousands)
2012	$	38,546
2013		30,363
2014		25,378
2015		21,765
2016		16,896
Thereafter		80,986
Total minimum lease payments	$	213,934

F-26

Amounts above include future minimum lease payments for our corporate headquarters facility, located in Needham, Massachusetts. The lease for our headquarters facility was renewed in the first quarter of 2011 for an additional ten years (through November 2022). The new lease provides for $12.8 million in landlord funding for leasehold improvements which we expect to complete in 2012 and 2013. We will capitalize these leasehold improvements as the assets are placed in service and amortize them to expense over the shorter of the lease term or their expected useful life. The $12.8 million of funding by the landlord is not included in the table above and reduces rent expense over the lease term.

As a result of restructuring initiatives in current and prior years, certain leased facilities are excess to our needs and are not occupied by us. The future minimum lease payments above include minimum future lease payments for excess facilities, net of sublease income under existing sublease arrangements. Our total future rental income under current sublease arrangements for excess facilities as of September 30, 2011 was $1.5 million.

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of approximately $3.8 million (of which $1.1 million was collateralized) and $4.7 million (of which $1.0 million was collateralized), respectively, primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease.

Legal Proceedings

We had been defending two separate lawsuits filed by GE Japan Corporation (formerly GE Capital Leasing Corporation) (“GEJ”) in the U.S. and Japan. On October 20, 2010, we entered into an agreement with GEJ to resolve GEJ’s claims against us. In connection with the resolution, we made a cash payment in the first quarter of 2011 to GEJ, in return for which GEJ withdrew all claims against PTC and PTC Japan and GEJ assigned to PTC and PTC Japan certain rights of recovery against third parties. Neither party admitted any liability to the other. As a result of the resolution reached with GEJ, we adjusted our corresponding litigation accrual to $50.6 million as of September 30, 2010, resulting in a $9.0 million gain in other income in the fourth quarter of 2010, based on the difference between the net cash outflow of this settlement with GEJ and the previously recorded liability. The resolution of this litigation reduced our cash balance by approximately $48 million in 2011.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to such 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. 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.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

We enter into standard indemnification agreements in our ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally our business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our current 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 (generally 90 to 180 days). Additionally, we generally warrant that our consulting services will be performed

F-27

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 never incurred significant cost under our product or services warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

J. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

We may issue up to 5.0 million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series, 0.5 million of these shares are designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors is authorized to fix the rights and terms for any series of preferred stock without additional shareholder approval.

Common Stock

Our Articles of Organization authorize us to issue up to 500 million shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has periodically authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock. Under our current authorization, approved by our Board of Directors in September 2011, we are 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 2011, we repurchased 2.6 million shares at a cost of $54.9 million. In 2010 and 2009, we repurchased 3.7 million shares at a cost of $62.5 million and 1.2 million shares at a cost of $14.2 million, respectively. 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.

K. Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) provides for grants of nonqualified and incentive stock options, common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors, officers and consultants. We award restricted stock and restricted stock units as the principal equity incentive awards, including certain performance-based awards that are earned based on achieving performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors on or prior to the grant date. Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right to receive one share of our common stock.

The fair value of restricted shares and restricted stock units granted in 2011, 2010 and 2009 was based on the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value per share of restricted shares and restricted stock units granted in 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $21.91, $16.07 and $10.32, respectively. Pre-vesting forfeiture rates for purposes of determining stock-based compensation for all periods presented were estimated by us to be 0% for directors and executive officers, 4% for vice president-level employees and 7% for all other employees.

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense recorded from our stock-based awards as reflected in our consolidated statements of operations:

As of September 30, 2011, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units expected to vest was approximately $57.9 million and the weighted average remaining recognition period for unvested awards was 13 months.

As of September 30, 2011, 3.9 million shares of common stock were available for grant under the 2000 Plan and 8.5 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units granted and outstanding.

As described in Note E, in the third quarter of 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS Inc., we granted 146,998 stock options to employees of MKS which vest over the next three years. These stock options were replacement stock options for unvested MKS stock options outstanding as of the acquisition date. The weighted average exercise price is $6.83 and the fair value of these grants was $2.5 million, of which $0.1 million was recorded as purchase price for the pre-acquisition service period. The remaining $2.4 million is being recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.

In 2011, shares issued upon vesting of restricted stock units were net of 1.0 million shares retained by us to cover employee tax withholdings of $22.5 million. In 2010, shares issued upon vesting of restricted stock units were net of 1.2 million shares retained by us to cover employee tax withholdings of $20.3 million. In 2009, shares issued upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units were net of 0.4 million shares retained by us to cover employee tax withholdings of $4.4 million.

L. Employee Benefit Plan

We offer a savings plan to eligible U.S. employees. The plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation, as defined, but not more than statutory limits. We contribute 50% of the amount contributed by the employee, up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s earnings. Our matching contributions vest at a rate of 25% per year of service, with full vesting after four years of service. We made matching contributions of $4.4 million in 2011 and $4.2 million in both 2010 and 2009.

M. Pension Plans

We maintain defined benefit pension plans primarily covering certain employees of Computervision, which we acquired in 1998, and of CoCreate, which we acquired in 2008. Benefits are based upon length of service and average compensation with vesting after one to five years of service. The pension cost was actuarially computed using assumptions applicable to each subsidiary plan and economic environment. We adjust our pension liability related to our plans due to changes in actuarial assumptions and performance of plan investments, as shown below.

Effective April 1, 1990, the benefits under the U.S. pension plan were frozen indefinitely. We contribute all amounts deemed necessary on an actuarial basis to satisfy IRS funding requirements. Effective in 1998, benefits under one of the international plans were frozen indefinitely.

The following table presents the actuarial assumptions used in accounting for the pension plans:

	U.S. Plan									International Plans
	2011			2010			2009			2011			2010			2009
Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at September 30 measurement date:
Discount rate		4.50	%		5.00	%		5.50	%		4.8	%		4.0	%		5.1	%
Rate of increase in future compensation (1)		—			—			—			3.0	%		2.1	%		2.1	%
Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost for fiscal years ended September 30:
Discount rate		5.00	%		5.50	%		7.50	%		4.0	%		5.1	%		5.7	%
Rate of increase in future compensation		—			—			—			2.7	%		2.1	%		2.2	%
Rate of return on plan assets		7.25	%		7.50	%		7.50	%		5.6	%		6.1	%		6.2	%

F-31

(1) The rate of increase in future compensation is weighted for all plans, ongoing and frozen (with a 0% increase for frozen plans). The weighted rate of increase for ongoing non-U.S. plans was 2.7% at September 30, 2011 and 2010.

In selecting the expected long-term rate of return on assets, we considered the current investment portfolio and the investment return goals in the plans’ investment policy statements. We, with input from the plans’ professional investment managers, also considered the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. This process included determining expected returns for the various asset classes that comprise the plans’ target asset allocation. This basis for selecting the long-term asset return assumptions is consistent with the prior year. Using generally accepted diversification techniques, the plans’ assets, in aggregate and at the individual portfolio level, are invested so that the total portfolio risk exposure and risk-adjusted returns best meet the plans’ long-term liabilities to employees. Plan asset allocations are reviewed periodically and rebalanced to achieve target allocation among the asset categories when necessary.

As of September 30, 2011, for the U.S. plan and the international plans, the weighted long-term rate of return assumption is 7.25% and 5.60%, respectively. These rates of return, together with the assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of September 30, 2011 in the table above, will be used to determine our 2012 net periodic pension cost, which we expect to be approximately $6 million.

The actuarially computed components of net periodic pension cost recognized in our consolidated statements of operations for each year are shown below:

We expect to recognize approximately $3.4 million of the unrecognized actuarial loss as of September 30, 2011 as a component of net periodic pension cost in 2012.

We periodically review the pension plans’ investments in the various asset classes. The current asset allocation target is 60% equity securities and 40% fixed income securities for the U.S. plan and a CoCreate plan in Germany, and 100% fixed income securities for the other international plans. The fixed income securities for the other international plans primarily include investments held with insurance companies with fixed returns. The plans’ investment managers are provided specific guidelines under which they are to invest the assets assigned to them. In general, investment managers are expected to remain fully invested in their asset class with further limitations on risk as related to investments in a single security, portfolio turnover and credit quality.

The U.S. plan and the German CoCreate plan investment policies prohibit the use of derivatives associated with leverage and speculation or investments in securities issued by PTC, except through index-related strategies and/or commingled funds. An investment committee oversees management of the pension plans’ assets. Plan assets consist primarily of investments in mutual funds invested in equity and fixed income securities.

In 2011, our actual return on plan assets was a loss of $1.6 million compared to a gain of $7.7 million and $1.8 million, in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Distress in the financial markets has caused, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuation of others. Lower than expected returns has impacted and may continue to impact the amount and timing of future contributions and expense for these plans.

Based on actuarial valuations and additional voluntary contributions, we contributed $2.2 million, $9.2 million, and $6.9 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to the plans. We expect to make contributions totaling approximately $7.5 million in 2012.

As of September 30, 2011, benefit payments expected to be paid over the next ten years are outlined in the following table:

Fair Value of Plan Assets

The U.S. Plan assets are comprised primarily of investments in common/collective trusts. Common/collective trusts are valued at the net asset value of shares held as reported by the trustee. The underlying investments in the common/collective trusts are publicly traded U.S. and international stocks, U.S. treasury securities and other fixed-income securities. Although the net asset values of the common/collective funds are determined by observable prices of the underlying securities, they are classified as Level 2 because the units of the common/collective trusts do not trade in open public markets. The fair value of the underlying investments in common/collective equity securities are based upon stock-exchange prices. The fair value of the underlying investments in common/collective fixed income securities are based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual trade information of similar securities, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers and relevant credit information.

N. 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 thereon, 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 these operating segments are summarized as follows:

	Year ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2009
	(in thousands)
Software Products segment revenue	$	875,511		$	770,808		$	691,825
Services segment revenue		291,438			239,241			246,360
Total revenue	$	1,166,949		$	1,010,049		$	938,185
Operating income: (1)
Software Products segment	$	557,879		$	465,968		$	397,156
Services segment (2)		22,577			19,214			19,680
Sales and marketing expenses		(353,051	)		(317,532	)		(312,847	)
General and administrative expenses		(110,291	)		(92,875	)		(84,694	)
Total operating income	$	117,114		$	74,775		$	19,295

(1) We recorded restructuring and in-process research and development charges of $23.0 million in 2009. Software Products included $4.1 million; Services included $3.4 million; sales and marketing expenses included $11.5 million; and general and administrative expenses included $4.0 million, of the total restructuring and in-process research and development charges recorded in 2009.

(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 expect our costs to exceed our revenue by approximately $5 million. Services segment operating income in 2011 includes immediate recognition of the approximately $5 million estimated loss on this contract and resulted in a reduction of service margins by approximately 2%.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Parametric Technology Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parametric Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, management has excluded MKS Inc. from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, as of September 30, 2011, because it was acquired by the Company in a business combination during the third quarter of 2011. We have also excluded MKS from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. MKS’s total assets and total revenue represented less than 2% and 3%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011.
