ITEM 1. Business

PART I

Overview

Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) develops, markets and supports product development software

solutions and related services 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 development market, which encompasses 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 include a range of internet-based PLM solutions and CAD and related solutions.

These software solutions enable companies to:

•

•

•

•

•

create digital product content as represented by product designs and component-based documents
(collectively, “digital products”);

collaborate globally on the development of content with cross-functional teams consisting of members
within an organization and from the extended enterprise;

control content and automate processes over the course of a product’s lifecycle;

configure content to match products and services; and

communicate relevant product information across the extended enterprise and to customers through
multiple channels using dynamic publications.

Our solutions provide customers with a product development system that permits individuals—regardless of
their roles in the development of a product, the computer-based tools they use, or their location geographically or
in the supply chain—to participate in the product development process. We have devoted significant resources to
developing our PLM solutions and integrating them with multiple CAD and related software solutions. We
continue to integrate our PLM products more tightly and make them easier to deploy. We believe this will create
significant added value for our customers.

Our product development system is:

•

•

•

integral—our products are engineered to work together;

internet-based—our product development system can be deployed across existing intranet and internet
infrastructures to accommodate a distributed value chain; and

interoperable—our products can be integrated with other systems using standard protocols and
integration approaches.

1

Our solutions are complemented by our experienced services and technical support organizations, as well as

resellers and other strategic partners. Our services and technical support organizations provide consulting,
implementation and training support services to customers worldwide. Our resellers supplement our direct sales
force to provide greater geographic and small and medium-size account coverage, primarily for our MCAD
solutions. Our strategic partners provide complementary product and/or service offerings.

Our Principal Products and Services

We describe our product development system solutions and related services below.

PLM Solutions

Our PLM solutions suite addresses common challenges that companies, and in particular manufacturing
companies, face in their product development processes, including product data management, communication
and collaboration with the extended enterprise, portfolio management, change management, regulatory
compliance, technical and marketing documentation, heterogeneity of systems, and services and maintenance
requirements. Our suite of solutions includes:

Windchill® solutions are a family of sophisticated, internet-based content and process management

solutions for managing complex data and relationships, processes and publications, including:

• Windchill PDMLink®, a product content management solution that is used to control information by
facilitating data accessibility and automating and managing the product development process
throughout the life of a product. Windchill PDMLink is fluent with workgroup level CAD content
management as well as complete enterprise-wide product content management and enables bill of
materials and document management, change management and configuration management.

• Windchill ProjectLink™, a collaborative project management solution that enables companies

(including their employees, partners, suppliers and customers) to work together on projects through
internet-based compartmentalized workspaces. Windchill ProjectLink also has capabilities for project
plan development, milestone and deliverable tracking, activity assignment and management, and
on-line discussion forums.

• Windchill ProductPoint®, a solution that, by extending the capabilities of Microsoft SharePoint®,
enables the sharing of CAD and other structured data among teams through social computing and
associated Web 2.0 technologies.

Arbortext® enterprise solutions enable our customers to manage complex information assets and to
streamline their product information delivery processes. Optimized for managing XML documents authored
using our Arbortext authoring products, these solutions support collaboration by geographically dispersed teams
and manage critical processes such as configuration management and release of publications. The solutions
consist of a Windchill-based content and configuration management system that assembles Arbortext-authored
XML and SGML content components and automatically publishes audience-specific content in both print and
electronic forms, with high-quality layout and formatting.

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.

InSight™ product analytics solutions enable manufacturers to measure and improve product performance.

InSight solutions include InSight Environmental Compliance™, which enables companies to manage and
improve the environmental performance and regulatory requirements of their products and Relex® Reliability™,
which enables organizations to plan and evaluate product reliability, safety and maintainability.

MCAD Solutions

Our MCAD solutions include our integrated CAD/CAM/CAE software as well as document authoring tools.

Our principal MCAD solutions are described below.

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 Pro/ENGINEER 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. Pro/ENGINEER can improve product quality and reduce time to market by enabling end users to evaluate
multiple design alternatives and to share data with bi-directional associativity.

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.
CoCreate’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. CoCreate
enables users to reduce design cycle time, improve workgroup collaboration through an integrated data
management system and decrease product development costs.

Arbortext authoring products Arbortext Editor™ and Arbortext IsoDraw® are designed to help customers

improve documentation accuracy, speed time to market, and lower publishing costs.

•

•

Arbortext Editor is a component-based authoring tool used to create dynamic content for multiple
output types. Arbortext Editor looks and works like familiar word processing software but is able to
create reusable content components, which can be aggregated into dynamic, customized publications.
With Arbortext Editor, documents can be created by multiple contributors and the document
components are reusable. Consequently, when changes to content are made, those changes will be
reflected wherever that content is used.

Arbortext IsoDraw® is a technical illustration solution that enables companies to create both 2D and
3D technical illustrations and animations from scratch or from existing CAD data. Illustrations and
animations created using Arbortext IsoDraw can be embedded in the Arbortext documents resulting in
rich technical publications.

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 determine their Pro/ENGINEER designs and predict the behavior of a Pro/ENGINEER model,
which can then be validated using our Pro/ENGINEER 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.

Maintenance Services

We offer maintenance support plans for our software products. Participating customers receive periodic
software updates 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.

3

Consulting and Training Services

We offer consulting, implementation and training services through our Global Services Organization, as
well as through third-party resellers and other strategic partners. These services enable our customers to adopt
and use our solutions more effectively.

Geographic and Segment Information

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 in research and development on an ongoing basis to improve the quality and expand the

functionality of our products.

Our research and development expenses were $188.5 million in 2009, $182.0 million in 2008 and

$162.4 million in 2007. 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. Our direct sales force focuses on
large accounts, while our reseller channel provides a cost-effective means of covering the small and medium-size
business market.

Within our direct sales force, we have strategic accounts and general business accounts units. The strategic

accounts unit is further divided into vertical groups, such as aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer
products, electronics and high technology, industrial products and life sciences. This vertical orientation is
mirrored in our services delivery organization and, increasingly, in the products we deliver to strategic accounts.
The general business account unit is organized geographically.

We continue to broaden our indirect distribution channel through alliances with third-party resellers and

other strategic partners who provide products and/or services that complement our offerings. Our resellers
distribute our products and provide related services throughout North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific; our
other strategic partners complement our product development system with ancillary offerings.

Competition

We compete primarily in the product development market, including the PLM market and the CAx market.

We compete with a number of companies that offer solutions that address specific functional areas covered by
our solutions, including: Dassault Systemes SA and Siemens AG (as a result of its acquisition of UGS Corp in
2007) for traditional MCAD solutions, PLM solutions, manufacturing planning solutions and visualization and
digital mock-up solutions; and Oracle Corporation (as a result of its acquisition of Agile Software Corporation in
2007) for PLM solutions. In addition, we compete with SAP AG, which has entered the PLM market and offers a
solution that controls product data within the larger framework of its Enterprise Resource Planning solution. 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.

4

We also compete in the CAx market with design products such as Autodesk, Inc.’s Inventor, Siemens AG’s

Solid Edge and Dassault Systemes’ 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. 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 later 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, 2009, we had 5,165 employees, including 1,295 in sales and marketing; 1,412 in
customer support, training and consulting; 522 in general and administration; and 1,936 in product development.
Of these employees, 1,837 were located in the United States and 3,328 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

Weakness in the United States and international economies may continue to adversely affect our business.

We experienced a challenging economic environment in 2009 in which customers in all geographic regions

in which we operate reduced or deferred purchases of our products and services. Our license revenue declined
36% from 2008 and our services and maintenance businesses declined in the second half of 2009 as well.
Although there are some indications that the economy in the U.S. has begun to recover, the U.S. economy may
not recover or may deteriorate further, which could continue to adversely affect our operations and results in
2010. The economies of Europe and the Asia Pacific region do not appear to have begun to recover and may
remain distressed well into 2010 or longer, which will continue to harm our operations and results in 2010.
Further, the steep declines in license revenue in 2009 are likely to adversely impact our maintenance and services
revenues in 2010, even if the economy recovers.

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 is 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, 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 engineering information management software.

The CAx market is characterized by intense competition for customers. However, 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.

In addition, recent consolidation within the software industry has given rise to new and stronger

competitors.

We must continually modify and enhance our products to keep pace with changing technology and 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 through:

•

•

•

internal research and development and quality assurance programs;

acquisition or license of technology; and

strategic partnerships.

6

In addition, our solutions must meet customer expectations to be successful, especially with respect to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

return on investment and value creation;

ease and speed of installation;

ease-of-use and interoperability;

full capability, functionality and performance;

ability to support a large, diverse and geographically dispersed user base, including the ability to
support global product development programs; and

quality and efficiency of the services performed by us and our partners relating to implementation and
configuration.

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.

Businesses we acquire may not generate the revenue and earnings we anticipated.

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’s attention;

loss of key personnel;

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

entry into unfamiliar markets, which creates new product, sales, services and support requirements;

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.

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

Sophisticated software often contains errors, defects or other performance problems when first introduced or

when new versions or enhancements are released, as these enhanced versions contain additional programming
code and third party sourced functionality that must work across our large product suite. 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 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

7

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.

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 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 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 and services
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
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 that
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.

8

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 2009. Managing these geographically dispersed operations requires significant
attention and resources to ensure compliance with laws. Accordingly, while we 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 both 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.

II. Other Considerations

We are currently defending a lawsuit seeking substantial damages in which we could be liable.

On August 2, 2007, GE Capital Leasing Corporation (now GE Financial Services Corporation, “GEFS”)
filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleges that
GEFS was fraudulently induced to provide over $60 million in financing to Toshiba Corporation for purchases of
third party products, predominantly PTC products, during the period from 2003 to 2006. GEFS claims that PTC
participated in the alleged scheme or, alternatively, should have been aware of the scheme and made negligent
misrepresentations that enabled the scheme to continue undetected. GEFS’s complaint claims damages of $47
million and seeks three times that amount plus attorneys’ fees. On October 2, 2008, the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts entered an order granting PTC’s motion to dismiss GEFS’s complaint
subject to certain conditions, including PTC’s agreement to provide certain discovery to GEFS and to assent to
personal jurisdiction in Japan. On November 17, 2008, GEFS filed a motion to vacate the court’s October 2nd
order and to seek to continue the case in the U.S. We have opposed GEFS’s motion.

On January 7, 2009, GEFS also filed an action in Tokyo District Court in Japan against PTC’s Japanese

subsidiary, PTC Japan K.K. The lawsuit arises from the same underlying transactions as the Massachusetts
lawsuit and seeks damages of 5,808,384,889 Yen (approximately $65 million as of September 30, 2009) plus
interest of 5% per year on such amount since April 27, 2007 and costs of the lawsuit. Subsequently, the Tokyo
District Court consolidated this newly filed action with GEFS’s pending action against Toshiba and other parties
to the transactions, which was filed in the Tokyo District Court in August 2007. In the Japanese action, GEFS
alleges that employees of PTC Japan committed wrongful acts in cooperation with employees of other companies
involved in the transactions, including an employee of Toshiba who was criminally convicted for obtaining
fraudulent loans. GEFS alleges that the wrongful acts committed by PTC Japan employees caused GEFS’s
damages and that PTC Japan, as an employer, is jointly and severally liable for GEFS’s losses along with the
other defendants.

We dispute GEFS’s claims and are contesting them vigorously. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008,
revenue of 4,658,162,417 Yen ($51.9 million and $43.8 million, respectively) that was previously recorded for
the transactions at issue has been deferred and recorded as customer advances in our consolidated balance sheets.
That liability will remain recorded until the rights and obligations of the several companies connected with the
Toshiba transactions are resolved. The change in customer advances at September 30, 2009 from September 30,

9

2008 is due to foreign currency translation adjustments. We have not accrued any other liability for this matter as
of September 30, 2009 as an amount potentially payable, if any, is not estimable. To the extent that matters are
resolved in an amount less than the recorded customer advances liability, we will reduce customer advances and
record the portion retained to revenue or other income at that time. To the extent that matters are resolved in an
amount in excess of the recorded customer advances liability, we would record expense for the amount due in
excess of our recorded liability.

We have a revolving credit facility and may incur additional debt under that facility.

Under the terms of our credit facility, we may borrow funds up to $230 million, repay the same in whole or

in part and re-borrow at any time through February 20, 2011, when all amounts outstanding will be due and
payable in full. We currently have $58 million outstanding under this facility resulting from our acquisition of
CoCreate Software GmbH in November 2007. We may borrow additional amounts under the credit facility in the
future to support our operations, including additional strategic acquisitions.

In addition, we are required to comply with the required financial and operating covenants, which limits our

ability to operate our business as we otherwise might operate it. Our failure to comply with any of these
covenants or to meet our payment obligations could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived,
would result in all amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, becoming immediately
due and payable. We may not have sufficient working capital or liquidity to satisfy our 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 or to borrow
additional funds.

Our operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which makes it difficult to predict our revenue and
operating results and could adversely affect our stock price.

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 is in foreign currency and a significant portion of our
expense structure is located internationally, shifts in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely
affect our reported revenue and/or expenses; 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 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.

10

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 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 112 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
1,308,000 square feet of leased facilities used in operations, approximately 597,000 square feet are located in the
U.S., including 329,000 square feet of our headquarters facility located in Needham, Massachusetts. The lease for
our headquarters began in December 2000 and expires in November 2012, subject to certain renewal rights. We
also lease space comprising approximately 433,000 square feet, which is not used for our current operations and
is primarily subleased to third parties. As described in Notes C and H 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 needs.

ITEM 3.

Legal Proceedings

On August 2, 2007, GE Capital Leasing Corporation (now GE Financial Services Corporation, “GEFS”)
filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleges that
GEFS was fraudulently induced to provide over $60 million in financing to Toshiba Corporation for purchases of
third party products, predominantly PTC products, during the period from 2003 to 2006. GEFS claims that PTC
participated in the alleged scheme or, alternatively, should have been aware of the scheme and made negligent
misrepresentations that enabled the scheme to continue undetected. All of the alleged transactions occurred in
Japan. GEFS’s complaint claims damages of $47 million and seeks three times that amount plus attorneys’ fees.
On October 2, 2008, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered an order granting
PTC’s motion to dismiss GEFS’s complaint on the basis that GEFS had commenced the action in the improper
forum. The court issued this order subject to certain conditions, including PTC’s agreement to provide certain
discovery to GEFS and to assent to personal jurisdiction in Japan. On November 17, 2008, GEFS filed a motion
to vacate the court’s October 2nd order and to seek to continue the case in the U.S. We have opposed GEFS’s
motion.

On January 7, 2009, GEFS also filed an action in Tokyo District Court in Japan against PTC’s Japanese

subsidiary, PTC Japan K.K. The lawsuit arises from the same underlying transactions as the Massachusetts
lawsuit and seeks damages of 5,808,384,889 Yen (approximately $65 million as of September 30, 2009) plus
interest of 5% per year on such amount since April 27, 2007 and costs of the lawsuit. Subsequently, the Tokyo
District Court consolidated this newly filed action with GEFS’s pending action against Toshiba and other parties

11

to the transactions, which was filed in the Tokyo District Court in August 2007. In the Japanese action, GEFS
alleges that employees of PTC Japan committed wrongful acts in cooperation with employees of other companies
involved in the transactions, including an employee of Toshiba who was criminally convicted for obtaining
fraudulent loans. GEFS alleges that the wrongful acts committed by PTC Japan employees caused GEFS’s
damages and that PTC Japan, as an employer, is jointly and severally liable for GEFS’s losses along with the
other defendants.

We dispute GEFS’s claims and are contesting them vigorously. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008,
revenue of 4,658,162,417 Yen ($51.9 million and $43.8 million, respectively) that was previously recorded for
the transactions at issue has been deferred and recorded as customer advances in our consolidated balance sheets.
That liability will remain recorded until the rights and obligations of the several companies connected with the
Toshiba transactions are resolved. The change in customer advances at September 30, 2009 from September 30,
2008 is due to foreign currency translation adjustments. We have not accrued any other liability for this matter as
of September 30, 2009 as an amount potentially payable, if any, is not estimable. To the extent that matters are
resolved in an amount less than the recorded customer advances liability, we will reduce customer advances and
record the portion retained to revenue or other income at that time. To the extent that matters are resolved in an
amount in excess of the recorded customer advances liability, we would record expense for the amount due in
excess of our recorded liability.

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

currently believe that resolving these other matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial
condition or results of operations.

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

The most significant challenge we faced in 2009 was the adverse global economic environment. While we

have seen recent signs, including sequential license growth in the second half of 2009 (particularly in North
America), that cause us to believe the economy may be beginning to stabilize, we expect that the economic
environment will continue to affect our business at least for the near term and that customers (including those of
our resellers) may continue delaying purchase decisions or reducing the size of their purchases.

Another significant factor impacting our 2009 results was the decline in the value of certain non-U.S.
currencies in which we transact business, particularly the Euro, relative to the U.S. dollar. Compared to 2008, this
adversely affected revenue by $39 million and favorably impacted our reported costs and expenses by $41
million, as amounts earned in these currencies are translated into dollars for reporting purposes. While the impact
on reported revenue and expenses was significant, the net impact on operating income was not significant.

We recorded $938 million of total revenue in 2009 compared to $1,070 million in 2008. Most significantly,

this reflects a decrease in license revenue of 36% (a decrease of $120 million) in 2009 compared to 2008.
Economic conditions and the decline in license revenue had a negative impact on our consulting and training
services revenue and maintenance revenue in the second half of 2009 and may continue to negatively impact
such revenue in 2010.

Primarily as a result of the revenue decline in 2009 compared to 2008, our operating income declined by

$106 million in 2009. Net income declined by $48 million in 2009 primarily due to lower operating income,
partially offset by a decrease of $54 million in our income tax provision over the same period.

As a result of our lowered revenue expectations for 2009, we took actions beginning in the second quarter of

2009 that reduced or contained our operating costs, including:

•

•

•

•

implementing a hiring freeze other than for selected positions that support our key strategic initiatives;

eliminating annual merit pay increases for our employees;

reducing travel and marketing related expenses; and

reducing our workforce, resulting in $23 million of restructuring charges.

Although we took these actions to reduce costs, we chose to make investments in research and development

in 2009 in support of strategic product development initiatives.

Our balance sheet remained strong with $235 million of cash and an additional $172 million available on
our revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2009. Our cash flow from operations was $70 million in 2009,
down $152 million from 2008 primarily as a result of lower operating income in 2009. We used $33 million to
complete two small acquisitions, $32 million to repay a portion of our borrowings under our revolving credit
facility, and $14 million to repurchase shares of our common stock during 2009.

14

Fiscal Year 2010 Expectations, Strategies and Risks

We expect that the global economy will improve in fiscal 2010 with recovery in Europe and Asia-Pacific
lagging recovery in North America. We believe that this will result in license revenue growth in 2010. However,
we expect that the steep license revenue decline we saw in 2009 will continue to adversely impact our
maintenance and services businesses. As a result, we expect maintenance and services revenue in 2010 to be
relatively flat with 2009. Further, our revenue and operating results may continue to be impacted by currency
fluctuations.

If economic growth in North America does not improve, or if the economies of countries in Europe or Asia-

Pacific are slower to recover than we expect, customers may continue to delay, reduce or forego technology
purchases. This could result in further reductions in sales of our products, longer sales cycles, slower adoption of
new technologies and increased price competition.

Balancing a continuing difficult economic situation with the longer-term opportunity for the business, we

are modestly increasing investments in our business that we believe are critical to delivering value to our
customers and will help us gain market share, drive faster top line growth and improve operating profitability
over the longer term. These investments include:

•

•

•

investing in research and development to extend our technology leadership position with further
enhancements to our product families including Windchill, Pro/ENGINEER, CoCreate, Arbortext,
Mathcad and ProductPoint;

continuing to evolve our distribution model through increased investment in support of our reseller
channel and investment in developing a network of enterprise reseller partners; and

enhancing and leveraging the value of our services business through expansion of our services
ecosystem, including the addition of strategic services partners.

Continued macroeconomic pressure or additional declines in revenue beyond that which we expect could

cause us to reduce or delay these strategic investments and/or take further actions to reduce our operating costs.

We discuss additional factors that may affect our revenue and operating results under Item 1A. “Risk

Factors“ of this Annual Report.

Results of Operations

Explanatory Note about a Correction in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Nine Months
Ended July 4, 2009

In our consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended July 4, 2009 (as presented in our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 4, 2009), we incorrectly classified $13.1 million of
windfall tax benefits as a cash flow from operating activities rather than as a cash flow from financing activities.
For the nine months ended July 4, 2009, cash provided by operating activities should have been $64.2 million
and cash used by financing activities should have been $30.1 million. This error had no impact on our
consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations. Because the misclassification is not material to our
consolidated financial statements, the previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
July 4, 2009 will not be amended. The corrected consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
July 4, 2009 will be included as a comparable period in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending
July 3, 2010.

Explanatory Note about a Change in Our Revenue Reporting

In the first quarter of 2009, we began classifying revenue from sales of our computer-based training
products as license and maintenance revenue to better align our reporting with how these training products are

15

sold to customers. Prior to that, computer-based training product revenue, and maintenance thereon, was
classified as consulting and training service revenue and included in total service revenue. For 2008, $16.2
million of license revenue and $3.5 million of maintenance revenue has been reclassified from consulting and
training service revenue and related costs of $0.9 million have been reclassified from cost of service to cost of
license. For 2007, $21.2 million of license revenue and $3.1 million of maintenance revenue has been reclassified
from consulting and training service revenue, and related costs of $1.5 million have been reclassified from cost
of service to cost of license. This reclassification had no impact on total revenue, operating income or net
income. The amounts below for 2008 and 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the current classification and
the discussion below gives effect to this change.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations

Approximately two thirds of our revenue and half of our expenses are transacted in currencies outside of the
U.S. Because we report our results of operations in U.S. dollars, currency translation affects our reported results.
On a year-over-year comparative basis, our revenues for both 2008 and 2007 benefited as a result of changes in
currency exchange rates, primarily the Euro and the Japanese Yen. Conversely, our expenses were higher as a
result of changes in these rates. If actual reported results were converted into U.S. dollars based on the
corresponding prior year’s foreign currency exchange rates, 2009 revenue would have been higher by $38.5
million and 2008 revenue would have been lower by $57.8 million, while 2009 expenses would have been higher
by $41.0 million and 2008 expenses would have been lower by $37.7 million. The net impact on year-over-year
results would have been an increase in operating income of $2.5 million in 2009 and a decrease in operating
income of $20.1 million in 2008. 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.

Impact of Reversal of Valuation Allowance

Net income for 2007 reflects a non-cash tax benefit of $58.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2007
primarily associated with our reversal of valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a
foreign jurisdiction.

2009 compared to 2008

Revenue decreased in 2009 from 2008 primarily due to a decrease in license revenue caused by the adverse
economic environment in which customers reduced and delayed purchases and due to the unfavorable impact of
foreign currency exchange rate movements on revenue described above.

Costs and expenses decreased in 2009 from 2008 primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency

exchange rate movements on costs and expenses described above and due to actions taken to reduce our expenses
described above in “Executive Overview.” These decreases in costs and expenses were partially offset by higher
research and development costs as a result of continuing investments to improve our products.

2008 compared to 2007

Revenue increased in 2008 from 2007 primarily due to revenue from the CoCreate business, which we
acquired in the first quarter of 2008, and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements, as
well as organic growth in maintenance and consulting and training service revenue.

Costs and expenses increased in 2008 from 2007 primarily due to costs of the CoCreate business, the impact
of foreign currency exchange rate movements, measured spending increases to support planned revenue growth,
restructuring charges from our cost reduction and globalization measures, and increased amortization of
intangible assets and in-process research and development charges associated with our acquisitions.

Refer to “Revenue” and “Costs and Expenses” below for a more detailed discussion.

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).

Revenue results for 2009 reflect weak license sales as customers reduced the amount of their purchases and

delayed purchasing decisions in an adverse macroeconomic environment. Additionally, compared to the prior
year, revenue in 2009 was negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates in
most foreign currencies in which we do business. While our maintenance and services businesses performed well
in the first half of 2009, economic conditions and declines in license revenue had a negative impact on our
maintenance and service businesses in the second half of 2009.

Revenue growth in 2008 reflects revenue from acquired businesses, particularly CoCreate which we

acquired on November 30, 2007. Results for 2007 did not include CoCreate revenue, while results for 2008
included ten months of CoCreate revenue ($68.1 million). Total revenue in 2008 benefited from favorable
changes in foreign currency exchange rates in foreign currencies in which we do business. The increase in
revenue in 2008 also reflects organic growth of our Windchill solutions and growth in maintenance revenue.
These increases were partially offset by declines in consulting and training service revenue related to our MCAD
solutions, particularly in North America. A portion of this decline was anticipated as we continue to work to
improve our operating margins by developing our reseller and partner channel to offer these services to
customers directly. We also experienced lower than anticipated revenue from our computer-based training
products.

License Revenue

2009 compared to 2008

License revenue in 2009 decreased year over year in every region and across most of our major product

families. License revenue in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific declined $14.3 million (14%), $63.6
million (49%) and $41.7 million (42%), respectively. Overall license revenue in 2009 was unfavorably impacted
by approximately $7.2 million due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.

2008 compared to 2007

License revenue in 2008 reflects growth in Europe of $27.4 million (27%), partially offset by an $8.1
million (7%) decline in North America and a $3.9 million (6%) decline in the Pacific Rim. Growth in license
revenue in 2008 was primarily due to sales of CoCreate products, which contributed $16.4 million of license
revenue, and the impact of favorable currency movements. Changes in currency exchange rates, primarily the
Euro, favorably impacted license revenue by $15.4 million in 2008.

In 2008, Pro/ENGINEER new seat license revenue growth of 6% was offset by a 16% decrease in revenue

from Pro/ENGINEER upgrades and modules. We believe that our Pro/ENGINEER upgrades and modules license
revenue in the first half of 2008 was negatively impacted by the end of the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 product
cycle and the launch of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 in January 2008 as customers may have deferred purchases
of those items until they have implemented Wildfire 4.0. License sales of our PLM products were up 9% in 2008,
primarily due to higher sales of Windchill PDMLink. Total Windchill license revenue relative to the number of
new seats varies quarter to quarter based on the type and volume of seats sold. In 2008, we sold proportionately
more light user seats, which have a lower price than heavy user seats. We believe this reflects increased adoption
of Windchill beyond the engineering organization as heavy user seats are used by engineers while light user seats
are used outside the engineering function.

Maintenance Revenue

Maintenance revenue represents renewals of seats under maintenance and maintenance on new seat licenses.
In 2009 and 2008, maintenance revenue was impacted by foreign currency exchange rate movements and sales of
acquired products, primarily CoCreate products.

18

2009 compared to 2008

In 2009, our maintenance revenue was adversely impacted by the global economic climate and significant

declines in license revenue. This resulted in a decrease in maintenance revenue, particularly in the second half of
2009, which we expect may continue in the near term. The decline in maintenance revenue in 2009 reflects a 1%
decrease in seats under maintenance as of the end of 2009 compared to the end of 2008, including a 2% decrease
in Pro/ENGINEER seats and a 1% decrease in Windchill seats. Maintenance revenue in 2009 includes $10.7
million more CoCreate maintenance revenue than 2008 due to the fact that 2008 results included only 10 months
of CoCreate revenue whereas 2009 included a full year of CoCreate revenue. Maintenance revenue in 2009 was
unfavorably impacted by $19.0 million as a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements.

2008 compared to 2007

The growth in maintenance revenue in 2008 reflects a 28% increase in seats under maintenance as of the

end of 2008 compared to the end of 2007, including a 4% increase in Pro/ENGINEER seats and a 28% increase
in Windchill seats. In addition, the growth reflects the addition of CoCreate maintenance customers and
favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. CoCreate maintenance contributed $47.1 million of
revenue in 2008. Maintenance revenue in 2008 was favorably impacted by $29.5 million as a result of foreign
currency exchange rate movements.

Consulting and Training Revenue

Significantly reduced year-over-year license revenue, particularly Windchill license revenue, began to have

an adverse impact on services revenue in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. This is due to the fact that new
licenses, particularly of our PLM solutions, typically carry new services engagements as well. Although we have
pending service engagements that we expect to perform, recent and continuing declines in new licenses sold have
had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on future services revenue.

One of our strategic initiatives is to continue to expand our services ecosystem by adding strategic services

partners who can focus on smaller engagements, enabling us to focus on larger engagements. This strategy has
resulted in a concentration of our services engagements among a smaller number of customers. Our revenue
includes a consulting and training service engagement with a large European customer that has benefited all
periods presented.

2009 compared to 2008

The decrease in consulting and training service revenue reflects a $6.3 million (16%) decline in training
revenue and a $4.3 million (2%) decline in consulting services revenue. Consulting services revenue in 2009
reflects an $8.0 million (15%) decrease in Asia-Pacific offset by a $4.0 million (5%) increase in Europe.

2008 compared to 2007

The increase in consulting and training service revenue reflects an increase in consulting revenue of $17.6
million (10%) and an increase in training revenue of $6.8 million (21%). The increase in consulting and training
service revenue in 2008 was primarily the result of continued growth in training services and Windchill
implementation consulting in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Consulting services revenue in Europe and Asia-Pacific
was up $12.3 million (17%) and $10.9 million (26%), respectively. These increases were partially offset by a
$5.6 million (8%) decline in consulting services revenue in North America.

19

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 was $126.8 million, $165.2
million and $155.3 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This revenue represented 29% of total license
and consulting and training service revenue in 2009, 2008 and 2007. The declines in this revenue in 2009 were
primarily declines in license revenue, which we attribute to the unfavorable macroeconomic environment.

We believe the Asia-Pacific region, particularly China, continues to present an important growth

opportunity because global manufacturing companies have continued to invest in that region and the market in
that region for both our PLM solutions and MCAD solutions is relatively unsaturated. Economic growth in the
United States slowed in 2008 and macroeconomic conditions deteriorated significantly in the last quarter of 2008
and first half of 2009. In the second half of 2009, we began to see some recovery in North America. We expect
the recovery to follow in Europe, followed by Asia-Pacific. The Europe region has a consulting and training
service engagement with a large customer that has benefitted all periods presented.

North America

2009 compared to 2008

Revenue in North America in 2009 reflects a year-over-year decline of $14.3 million (14%) in license
revenue, partially offset by $3.2 million (2%) growth in maintenance revenue. Our reseller channel revenue
declined 7% in North America in 2009.

2008 compared to 2007

Revenue in North America in 2008 reflects year-over-year declines of $8.1 million (7%) in license revenue

and $4.2 million (5%) in consulting and training service revenue offset by $11.9 million (7%) growth in
maintenance revenue. Our reseller channel revenue grew in excess of 12% in North America in 2008 as we
continued to increase our use of channel partners.

20

Europe

2009 compared to 2008

Revenue in Europe in 2009 reflects year-over-year declines of $63.6 million (49%) in license revenue and

$14.3 million (6%) in maintenance revenue offset by $0.8 million (1%) growth in consulting and training service
revenue. European revenue in 2009 was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency exchange rate movements,
particularly with respect to the Euro. At foreign currency exchange rates consistent with the prior year, revenue
in 2009 would have been higher by $49.1 million. Excluding the impact of currency movements, revenue in 2009
reflects a $55.2 million (43%) decline in license revenue, partially offset by a $15.1 million (15%) increase in
consulting and training services revenue and a $12.1 million (5%) increase in maintenance revenue.

2008 compared to 2007

Revenue in Europe included growth in both organic revenue across all lines of business and revenue from

acquired products, particularly CoCreate products. Organic revenue in Europe in 2008 grew 16% and the sale of
CoCreate products and services in Europe contributed $37.5 million of revenue in 2008. Revenue was favorably
impacted $44.9 million by foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Asia-Pacific

2009 compared to 2008

Revenue in Asia-Pacific in 2009 reflects year-over-year declines of $14.1 million (12%) in Japan and $27.6

million (20%) in the Pacific Rim. The decline in Japan’s revenue, which comprised 49% of total Asia-Pacific
revenue in 2009, consisted of a $22.6 million decrease in license revenue partially offset by:

•

•

•

an $8.3 million increase in maintenance revenue;

favorable changes in the Yen exchange rate relative to the U.S. dollar (an impact of $11.8 million); and

an increase in revenue from CoCreate products of $2.3 million.

The decline in revenue in the Pacific Rim primarily consisted of a decrease in license revenue of $19.2

million and a decrease in consulting and training service revenue of $9.1 million.

2008 compared to 2007

Revenue in Asia-Pacific in 2008 reflects year-over-year growth of $11.6 million (9%) in the Pacific Rim
and $20.8 million (21%) growth in Japan. The increase in revenue in the Pacific Rim in 2008 was attributable to
19% growth in maintenance revenue and 31% growth in consulting and training service revenue. Growth in
Japan was primarily attributable to higher maintenance revenue from acquired products, particularly CoCreate
products. Revenue from the sale of CoCreate products and services in Japan contributed $20.3 million of revenue
in 2008, including $13.8 million of maintenance revenue.

The decline in 2009 reflects decreases in all major geographic regions. Excluding CoCreate revenue, our

channel revenue in 2009 and 2008 was down 16% and up 17%, respectively, year over year. Despite the decline
in 2009, we expect our channel revenue to comprise a growing percentage of our total revenue as we continue to
focus on expanding our use of resellers.

We attribute the revenue increase from our reseller channel in 2008 to our efforts to expand our reseller

channel, to the success of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire among small- and medium-size businesses and to sales of
acquired CoCreate, Arbortext and Mathsoft products. In 2008 compared to 2007, growth came from all major
geographic regions and was the result of organic revenue growth, the addition of CoCreate channel revenue and
the impact of favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Total Costs and Expenses

2009 compared to 2008

Costs and expenses in 2009 decreased primarily as a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements

($41.0 million). If actual reported results were converted into U.S. dollars based on the corresponding prior
year’s foreign currency exchange rates, 2009 expenses would have been $959.9 million.

Headcount was 5,165 at September 30, 2009, compared to 5,087 at September 30, 2008. The net increase in

headcount was primarily due to:

•

•

•

an increase in research and development personnel resulting primarily from our strategic decision to
increase our investment in product development;

an increase of an aggregate of more than 70 employees from our 2009 acquisitions of Synapsis and
Relex; and

an increase in headcount in locations where labor costs are lower.

These increases in headcount were offset by the effects of our cost reduction and containment measures

undertaken in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009 (described in “Executive Overview” above).

22

Total costs and expenses in 2009 compared to 2008 reflect an $11.6 million decrease in commissions due to

lower sales and a $6.0 million decrease in performance-based compensation as our 2009 performance-based
plans were not earned in full.

2008 compared to 2007

Total costs and expenses were adversely impacted by foreign currency exchange rates as costs and expenses

incurred in Europe and Asia-Pacific were translated into U.S. Dollars. Also, headcount increased to 5,087 at the
end of 2008 compared to 4,449 at the end of 2007, due in part to acquisitions completed in 2008 and investments
to support our business. Total costs and expenses in 2008 compared to 2007 reflect the following:

•

•

•

•

acquisitions completed in 2008, particularly CoCreate in the first quarter of 2008, that added operating
costs and increased headcount by an aggregate of more than 250 employees as of the end of 2008
compared to the end of 2007;

planned spending to support revenue growth, including increasing our services delivery capacity and
higher sales commission expense;

amortization expense, primarily associated with acquired intangible assets, which totaled $35.5 million
in 2008 compared to $14.9 million in 2007; and

$20.1 million of restructuring charges incurred in 2008 compared to $15.3 million in 2007.

Our cost of license revenue consists of fixed and variable costs associated with reproducing and distributing
software and documentation as well as royalties paid to third parties for technology embedded in or licensed with
our software products. Year over year, cost of license revenue as a percentage of license revenue was higher in
2009 due primarily to fixed costs that did not decrease with license revenue declines in 2009 compared to 2008.
The increase in cost of license revenue in 2008 compared to 2007 was due primarily to higher amortization of
acquired software intangible assets of $12.5 million, primarily attributable to the acquisition of CoCreate in 2008.
Cost of license revenue as a percent of license revenue can vary depending on product mix sold and the effect of
fixed and variable royalties and the level of amortization of acquired software intangible assets.

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

23

training service revenue. Maintenance revenue comprised 69% and 68% of total service revenue in 2009 and
2008, respectively, compared to 66% in 2007. Service margins improved in 2009 and 2008 primarily due to a
higher mix of maintenance revenue.

Cost of service revenue was lower in 2009 compared to 2008 due to total compensation (including salaries,
commissions, bonuses, and stock-based compensation), benefits and travel costs which were $11.7 million lower
and the cost of third-party consulting services which was $7.8 million lower due to decreases in consulting and
training services revenue. Year-end headcount reflects cost reduction actions taken in 2009.

Year-end services headcount for 2008 included increases from acquisitions as well as increases in our
services delivery capacity in certain regions. Total salaries, commissions, benefits and travel costs were higher by
an aggregate of $16.5 million in 2008 compared to 2007. The cost of third-party consulting services was $11.2
million higher in 2008 compared to 2007 due to the use of such services in support of increases in consulting and
training services revenue.

were higher by an aggregate of $16.0 million in 2008 compared to 2007 (including an increase of $3.2 million
related to stock-based compensation). Sales and marketing costs were higher in 2008 due to planned increases,

our software. Year-end headcount includes increased staffing for certain research and development initiatives due
to our strategic decision to increase our investment in research and development, as well as from acquisitions.
Total compensation, benefits and travel costs were higher in 2009 by $1.4 million compared to 2008 primarily
due to higher salaries and benefits as a result of higher research and development headcount. These salary
increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.1 million in total cash-based incentive compensation expense
as the performance criteria under our incentive plans were not achieved in full. Total salaries, benefits and travel
costs were higher in 2008 compared to 2007 by an aggregate of $16.6 million (including an increase of $2.2

also include costs associated with outside professional services, including accounting and legal fees. Total
compensation, benefits and travel costs were lower in 2009 compared to 2008 by an aggregate of $2.0 million
including a decrease of $1.1 million in cash-based incentive compensation expense as the performance criteria
under our incentive plans were not achieved in full. G&A expenses also include costs associated with outside
professional services, including accounting and legal fees. These costs were $2.9 million lower in 2009 primarily
because 2008 included approximately $2.8 million of costs for outside professional services incurred in
connection with an Audit Committee investigation and restatement of prior period financial statements
completed in the first quarter of 2008.

Total salaries, benefits and travel costs were higher in 2008 compared to 2007 by an aggregate of

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 2008, compared to 2007,
was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets resulting from the CoCreate acquisition completed in the
first quarter of 2008.

Our acquisition of CoCreate in the first quarter of 2008 resulted in an increase in acquired intangible assets

of $131.0 million. Acquired intangible assets consisted of $72.5 million of customer relationship intangibles,
$55.1 million of purchased software, $2.3 million of trademarks, and $1.1 million of non-compete agreements
and other, which are being amortized over estimated weighted average useful lives of 11 years, 8 years, 9 years
and 1.5 years, respectively.

In-process research and development costs are related to acquired research and development projects that

were in process at the respective acquisition date and for which technological feasibility had not yet been
established and for which there was no alternative future use. The value of the purchased in-process research and
development was determined using the residual income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows
from projects under development to their net present value.

The in-process research and development charge in 2009 was from our Relex acquisition; in 2008 was from

our CoCreate and DHI acquisitions; and in 2007 was from our NC Graphics acquisition.

Restructuring charges in the periods reported were primarily associated with reductions in workforce and

excess facility obligations to reduce our cost structure and to improve profitability. Given the challenging
macroeconomic environment and lower revenue, we implemented workforce reductions and facility
consolidations beginning in the second quarter of 2009. As a result, in 2009 we recorded 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 2009 and $0.8 million of charges related to excess facilities.

The 2008 charge included $10.7 million for severance and related costs associated with 185 employees

notified of termination during 2008 as a result of our initiative to globalize certain functions to be in closer
proximity to the operations they support and/or to lower cost regions. The 2008 charge also included $7.9 million
of costs related to excess facilities. In 2008, we also recorded $1.5 million for costs incurred in connection with
our integration of CoCreate.

We recorded a restructuring charge of $15.3 million in 2007. The restructuring charge included a

$13.2 million charge for severance and related costs associated with 262 employees notified of termination in
2007 and $2.1 million related to excess facilities. The charges for excess facilities were primarily related to gross
lease commitments in excess of estimated sublease income for excess facilities.

In 2009, 2008 and 2007, we made cash payments related to restructuring and other charges (including
payments relating to restructuring and other charges recorded prior to 2007) of $24.7 million, $25.1 million and
$14.7 million, respectively. Amounts not yet paid at September 30, 2009 relating to restructuring and other
charges taken during the current and all prior periods are $15.8 million and primarily relate to severance. Of the
total amount accrued at September 30, 2009, we expect to make cash disbursements within the next twelve
months of approximately $15 million for restructuring charges incurred in 2009 and prior periods.

Interest Income

Interest income represents earnings on the investment of our available cash balances. Interest income
decreased in 2009 as a result of lower interest rates and lower cash balances. Interest income in 2008 reflects a
modest increase in average cash balances over 2007.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is primarily related to interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In 2008,
we borrowed $220 million under the credit facility in connection with our acquisition of CoCreate. The average
interest rate was 3.2% in 2009 compared to 5.5% in 2008. As of September 30, 2009, of the original amount
borrowed we had an outstanding balance of $57.9 million. Prior to 2008, we did not have any outstanding
borrowings under this credit facility.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net includes 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, primarily in Western European and Asian
currencies, to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The increase in other expense, net in
2008 was due primarily to a $6.2 million non-cash loss described below and higher foreign exchange losses,
partially offset by a one-time benefit of $1.3 million related to a legal settlement.

In the third quarter of 2008, we liquidated eight wholly-owned subsidiaries resulting in a $6.2 million
non-cash loss. The non-cash loss resulted from the reclassification of the net cumulative translation adjustment
from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings for these liquidated subsidiaries. The loss related to
these subsidiaries was recorded in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for 2008 reflects an offsetting gain of $6.2 million
resulting from the reclassification.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate has fluctuated significantly in each of the past three years due primarily to the impact

of discrete events, such as the release of a substantial portion of a U.S. valuation allowance and the settlements of
tax audits, which created one-time income tax benefits. In 2009, our effective tax rate was a benefit of 84% on
pre-tax income of $17.2 million compared to a provision of 33% in 2008 on pre-tax income of $118.9 million
and a benefit of 44% in 2007 on pre-tax income of $99.7 million.

In 2009, our effective 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;

27

•

•

•

foreign taxes at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate, net of a $6 million provision related to
a research and development (R&D) cost sharing pre-payment 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.

In 2008, our effective tax rate of 33% was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due
primarily to the benefit of foreign taxes paid at a net effective tax rate lower than that in the U.S. The net tax
benefit recorded in 2007 was principally due to a tax benefit of $58.9 million recorded upon our decision in the
third quarter of 2007 to release a substantial portion of the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax
assets in the U.S. and a foreign jurisdiction as well as a net tax benefit of $3.9 million recorded in the third
quarter of 2007 from the favorable outcome of a tax refund claim in the U.S.

Excluding the effect of these discrete items, our income tax (benefit) provision in 2009, 2008 and 2007
consisted primarily of taxes owed in relation to the income generated in the U.S. (in 2008 and 2007) and by our
foreign subsidiaries as well as withholding taxes that we incurred in the U.S. in connection with certain foreign
operations. In 2009, we were able to fully benefit withholding taxes incurred in the U.S.

As of September 30, 2009, we have a remaining valuation allowance of $23.2 million against net deferred

tax assets in the U.S. and a remaining valuation allowance of $23.1 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 $17.8 million for foreign tax credits, $2.6 million for research and development credits and $2.7 million for
capital losses that we have determined are not likely to be realized; and $0.1 million for certain state net
operating loss carryforwards that will likely expire without being utilized. The valuation allowance recorded
against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions is established primarily for our net operating loss
carryforwards that will likely expire without being used.

At September 30, 2009, we have a net deferred tax asset balance of $123.5 million primarily relating to our
U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that our net deferred tax assets
are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In arriving at this conclusion, we evaluated all available
evidence, including our pre-tax results for the last three years (adjusted for permanent differences), the
circumstances of a pre-tax loss generated in the U.S. in the most recent fiscal year and our forecast of future
taxable income. We reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period. If our results
in 2010 do not improve in our U.S. operations, our assessment may indicate that a valuation allowance is
required.

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
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. In 2007, we recorded a net tax benefit of $3.9 million from the
favorable outcome of a tax refund claim in the U.S.

Our future effective 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 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

28

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.

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 critical 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;

allowance for accounts and other receivables; and

restructuring charges.

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
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;

29

•

•

•

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 2009, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

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 and, for our Mathcad products, with distributors.
Approximately 25% of our total revenue in 2009 was generated from our indirect distribution channel. Revenue
arrangements with resellers are recognized on a sell-through basis; that is, when we deliver the product to the
end-user customer. 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 and related allowances. In contrast, revenue arrangements with distributors
of our Mathcad products have a contractual right to exchange product and are recognized on a sell-in basis; that
is, when we ship the products to the distributor. As of September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the value of Mathcad
product inventory held by distributors and the accrual that we have recorded for estimated product returns were
not material.

At the time of each sale transaction, we must make an assessment of the collectibility 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. If
the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized only as payments become due from the customer,
provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met. 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. 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

30

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 any modification or customization of the software
functionality. If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the license and service elements, then
license revenue is recognized together with the consulting services using either the percentage-of-completion or
completed-contract method of contract accounting. Contract accounting for both license and service elements is
also applied to any software arrangements that include customer-specific acceptance criteria or where the license
payment is tied to the performance of consulting services. 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. If we do not have a sufficient basis
to measure progress towards completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of the contract. When total cost
estimates exceed revenues, we accrue for the estimated losses when identified. The use of the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract
hours or 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. When adjustments in
estimated contract hours or costs are determined, such revisions may have the effect of adjusting, in the current
period, the earnings applicable to performance in prior periods.

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.
Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements (i.e., maintenance, consulting and training
services) based on vendor-specific objective evidence (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 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. Any
increase in our VSOE assumptions of the fair value of maintenance services or consulting and training services
would decrease the amount allocated to license revenue.

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.

31

As of September 30, 2009, we have a remaining valuation allowance of $46.3 million against net deferred
tax assets. The valuation allowance includes $23.2 million recorded against net deferred tax assets in the U.S.,
consisting primarily of foreign tax credits. The valuation allowance also includes $23.1 million recorded against
net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards that
will likely expire without being utilized.

At September 30, 2009, we have a net deferred tax asset balance of $123.5 million primarily relating to our
U.S. operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that our net deferred tax assets
are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In arriving at this conclusion, we evaluated all available
evidence, including our pre-tax results for the last three years (adjusted for permanent differences), the
circumstances of a pre-tax loss generated in the U.S. in the most recent fiscal year and our forecast of future
taxable income. We reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period. If our results
in 2010 do not improve in our U.S. operations, our assessment may indicate that a valuation allowance is
required.

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.

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, software support agreements and related relationships and consulting contracts.
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,
consulting contracts, 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.

32

Net tangible assets consist of the fair values of tangible assets less the fair values of assumed liabilities and
obligations. Except for deferred revenues and restructuring reserves, 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.
Restructuring reserves include the severance costs related to terminating the employment of employees of the
acquired company, planned closure of certain facilities and other costs associated with exiting activities of the
acquired company.

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.

Valuation of Goodwill

Our goodwill totaled $428.3 million and $405.2 million as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

We assess the impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets 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. 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 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 and indefinite lived assets as of the end of the third quarter of each fiscal
year. We completed our annual impairment review as of July 4, 2009 and concluded that no impairment charge
was required as of that date. Revenue and operating margin projections are significant assumptions in our
analysis. Adjusting those assumptions by 10% would not have had an impact on the results of our impairment
analysis.

For long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets other than goodwill, we reassess the recoverability of

the asset based on projected undiscounted future cash flows over the asset’s remaining life if an event occurs or
circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reportable segment below its
carrying value. When 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. 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.

33

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 or to be 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. 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 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. In
determining our pension cost for 2009, 2008 and 2007, we used a discount rate of 7.50%, 6.25% and 5.75%,
respectively, and an expected return on plan assets of 7.50% for each year.

Certain of our foreign 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 2009, 2008 and 2007, we used weighted average discount rates
of 5.7%, 5.2% and 4.7%, respectively, and weighted average expected returns on plan assets of 6.2%, 5.7% and
3.8%, respectively.

In 2009 and 2008, our actual return on plan assets was a gain of $1.8 million and a loss of $13.2 million,

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. If actual returns continue to be below our expected rate of return, it will impact the
amount and timing of future contributions and expense for these 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. 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,
2009 by approximately $1 million. A 50 basis point decrease in our discount rate assumptions would increase our
projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2009 by approximately $12 million.

Allowance for Accounts and Other Receivables

Management judgment is required in assessing the collectibility of customer accounts and other receivables,

for which we generally do not require collateral. 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 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 accounts receivable for any period presented. The following table
summarizes our accounts receivable and related reserve balances at September 30, 2009 and 2008:

If the financial condition of our customers deteriorated, additional allowances might be required, resulting in

future operating expenses that are not included in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for bad
debts as a percentage of gross accounts receivable varies depending on the level and timing of quarterly revenue
as well as the timing of the resolution of specifically reserved doubtful accounts receivable, either via collection
or write-off.

Restructuring Charges

We periodically record restructuring charges resulting from restructuring our operations (including

consolidations and/or relocations of operations), changes to our strategic plan, or managerial responses to
declines in demand, increasing costs, or other market factors. The determination of restructuring charges requires
management judgment and may include costs related to employee benefits, such as costs of severance and
termination benefits, and estimates of costs for future lease commitments on excess facilities, net of estimated
future sublease income. In determining the amount of the facilities charge, we are required to estimate such
factors as future vacancy rates, the time required to sublet properties and sublease rates. These estimates are
reviewed quarterly based on known real estate market conditions and the credit-worthiness of subtenants, and
may result in revisions to established facility reserves. We had $4.0 million accrued as of September 30, 2009
related to excess facilities (compared to $11.7 million at September 30, 2008), representing gross lease
commitments with agreements expiring at various dates through 2013 of approximately $10.2 million, net of
committed sublease income of approximately $6.1 million and a present value factor of $0.1 million.

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.

Cash and cash equivalents

2009 compared to 2008

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in 2009 compared to 2008 was due primarily to:

•

•

•

•

$32.8 million used to acquire businesses;

$32.0 million used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility;

$30.1 million used to purchase property and equipment; and

$14.2 million used to repurchase common stock.

These uses of cash were partially offset by $69.7 million of cash provided by operations.

2008 compared to 2007

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in 2008 compared to 2007 was due primarily to:

•

•

•

$261.6 million used to acquire businesses;

$27.3 million used to repurchase common stock; and

$25.4 million used to purchase property and equipment.

These uses of cash were partially offset by:

•

•

$222.2 million of cash provided by operations; and

$88.1 million of net borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

36

Cash provided by operating activities

2009 compared to 2008

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

•

•

•

lower profitability (income before income taxes decreased $101.7 million to $17.2 million in 2009
from $118.9 million in 2008);

income tax payments that were $22.3 million higher in 2009 compared to 2008; and

lower deferred revenue amounts at the end of 2009 compared to the end of 2008.

These uses of cash were partially offset by lower receivables as of September 30, 2009 compared to
September 30, 2008. (Days sales outstanding was 62 days as of the end of 2009 compared to 61 days as of the
end of 2008.)

2008 compared to 2007

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

•

•

higher profitability (income before income taxes increased $19.2 million to $118.9 million in 2008
from $99.7 million in 2007); and

higher receivables collections in 2008 compared to 2007 (days sales outstanding decreased to 61 days
as of the end of 2008 compared to 74 days as of the end of 2007).

Days sales outstanding at the end of 2007 was adversely affected by the timing of revenue recorded and the

impact of extended payment term deals we offered to customers during 2007 and 2006.

We provided extended payment terms greater than twelve months on internally financed transactions
(including revenue and imputed interest) accounting for approximately $26 million in each of 2009 and 2008 and
$29 million in 2007. Other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include non-current
receivables from customers related to extended payment term contracts totaling $10.5 million and $16.3 million
at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Share Repurchase Authorization

Our Board of Directors has authorized us to use up to $100 million of cash from operations to repurchase
shares of our common stock in open market purchases. This authorization will expire on May 31, 2010 unless
earlier revoked. In 2009, we repurchased 1.2 million shares at a cost of $14.2 million leaving $80.6 million
remaining under our current authorization. In 2008, we repurchased 1.7 million shares at a cost of $27.3 million,
including 1.4 million shares at a cost of $22.0 million under a prior authorization. In 2007, we repurchased
0.6 million shares at a cost of $10.0 million. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically
restored to the status of authorized and unissued. Future repurchases of shares will reduce our cash balances.

Credit Facility

We have a revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate, under which we may borrow funds up to $230

million, repay the same in whole or in part and re-borrow at any time through February 20, 2011 when all
amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. Although we have the contractual right to borrow these
funds under the credit facility, conditions in the credit markets may preclude our ability to draw those funds if we
were to seek to do so.

On November 28, 2007, in connection with our acquisition of CoCreate, we borrowed $220 million under
the credit facility in two tranches: $36 million that accrued interest at the Eurodollar-based borrowing rate, and
an alternate currency loan of 124.6 million Euros, equivalent to $184 million at the borrowing date. The $36
million loan was repaid in full in 2008. In addition, to date we have repaid 85.0 million Euros of the alternate
currency loan, including 23.3 million Euros in 2009. As of September 30, 2009, we had 39.6 million Euros
outstanding under the revolving credit facility, which was equivalent to $57.9 million on that date. The current
loan accrues interest at 1.8% per year and matures on February 26, 2010. Upon the due date, and subsequent due
dates, we may either repay the amount outstanding or roll over the amount outstanding with new short term loans
at the then current interest rates under the credit facility.

For a description of the terms and conditions of the credit facility, including limitations on our ability to
undertake certain actions, see “Note H. Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements of this Form 10-K.

Expectations for Fiscal 2010

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.

38

During 2010, we expect to use cash to repurchase our shares and to repay the remaining amount outstanding

under our revolving credit facility. Capital expenditures are currently anticipated to be approximately
$25 million. In addition, we expect to make cash disbursements estimated at $15 million for restructuring charges
incurred in 2009 and prior periods.

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 and/or pay any amounts, settlements or
judgments related to significant legal matters.

Contractual Obligations

We lease office facilities and certain equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through

2020, including an operating lease agreement related to our headquarters office in Needham, Massachusetts
entered into in 2000, which expires in November 2012, subject to certain renewal rights. These leases qualify for
operating lease accounting treatment and, as such, are not included on our balance sheet. At September 30, 2009,
our contractual obligations, including future minimum lease payments, net of sublease income, under
noncancellable operating leases, are as follows:

Financial Statements.”

(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, 2009
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, 2009, we had recorded total unrecognized tax benefits of $16.9 million ($15.6 million
net of tax benefits from other jurisdictions). 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.

39

As of September 30, 2009, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of approximately
$4.8 million (of which $1.4 million was collateralized), primarily related to the lease of our headquarters 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of recent accounting pronouncements, see “Note B. Summary of Significant Accounting

Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K.

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 Western European countries and Japan. We enter into
various hedging transactions to manage this risk. We do not enter into or hold foreign currency derivative
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

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 63%, 66% and 61% of
our total revenue was from sales to customers outside of North America in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Approximately 50%, 52% and 46% of our total expenses were incurred by our subsidiaries domiciled outside of
North America in 2009, 2008 and 2007, 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. 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

40

manage the foreign currency exposures that exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The contracts
primarily are denominated in European currencies and Japanese Yen, 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 other expense, net.

As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts

equivalent to the following:

$154,700

Debt

As of September 30, 2009, the amount outstanding under our variable-rate revolving credit facility was
39.6 million Euros, which was equivalent to $57.9 million on that date. The current loan matures on February 26,
2010 and accrues interest at 1.8% per annum. Upon the due date, and subsequent due dates, we may either repay
the amount outstanding or roll over the amount outstanding with new short term loans at the then current interest
rates under the credit facility. This Euro-denominated loan is subject to foreign currency rate risk. Additionally,
the entire amount is subject to interest rate risk as interest rates will be adjusted at the respective due date to the
extent such amounts are not repaid. The impact would be partially mitigated by the floating rate interest earned
on excess cash. If there was a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates, the annual net impact to earnings and
cash flows would be approximately $0.1 million. This hypothetical change in cash flows and earnings has been
calculated based on the borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2009 and the current interest rate of 1.8% per
annum applied over a one-year period.

Cash and cash equivalents

As of September 30, 2009, 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, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $77.2 million in the United States, $100.8 million in
Europe, $25.4 million in Japan and $31.7 million in other non-U.S. countries, principally in Asia-Pacific. Given
the short maturities and investment grade quality of the portfolio holdings at September 30, 2009, 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

41

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 $3.8 million and $8.6 million in 2009 and 2007, respectively, and unfavorably in 2008 by
$4.0 million by the strengthening and weakening, respectively, of 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, 2009.

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.

42

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, 2009 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, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was
effective.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009 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, 2009 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 product development software solutions and related services
that help companies improve their processes for developing physical and information products. Our solutions,
which include a suite of mechanical computer-aided design and document authoring tools and a range of internet-
based collaboration, content and process management, and publishing technologies, enable companies to create
digital product content as represented by product designs and component-based documents, collaborate globally
on the development of content with cross-functional teams consisting of members within an organization and
from the extended enterprise, control content and automate processes over the course of a product’s lifecycle,
configure content to match products and services, and communicate relevant product information across the
extended enterprise and to customers through multiple channels using dynamic publications. 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.

In the first quarter of 2009, we began classifying revenue from sales of our computer-based training
products as license and maintenance revenue to better align with how these training products are sold to
customers. Prior to that, computer-based training product revenue, and maintenance thereon, was classified as
consulting and training service revenue and included in total service revenue. We have made certain
reclassifications to the consolidated statements of operations for 2008 and 2007 to conform to the classifications
for the current period. For 2008 and 2007, computer-based training revenue totaling $16.2 million and $21.2
million, respectively, has been reclassified from service revenue to license revenue, and related costs of $0.9
million and $1.5 million, respectively, have been reclassified from cost of service to cost of license in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Within service revenue, $3.5 million and $3.1 million of
computer-based training revenue has been reclassified from consulting and training services revenue to
maintenance revenue for 2008 and 2007, respectively. This reclassification had no impact on total revenue,
operating income or net income.

In our consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended July 4, 2009 (as presented in the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 4, 2009), we incorrectly classified $13.1 million of
windfall tax benefits as a cash flow from operating activities rather than as a cash flow from financing activities.
For the nine months ended July 4, 2009, cash provided by operating activities should have been $64.2 million
and cash used by financing activities should have been $30.1 million. This error had no impact on our
consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations. Because the misclassification is not material to our
consolidated financial statements, the previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended

F-6

July 4, 2009 will not be amended. The corrected consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
July 4, 2009 will be included as a comparable period in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending
July 3, 2010.

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 other expense, net in the consolidated
statement of operations. We translate income statement amounts at average rates for the period. Transaction
gains and losses are recorded in other expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

In the third quarter of 2008, we liquidated eight wholly-owned subsidiaries resulting in a $6.2 million
non-cash loss. The non-cash loss resulted from the reclassification of the net cumulative translation adjustment
from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings for these liquidated subsidiaries. The loss related to
these subsidiaries was recorded in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for 2008 reflects an offsetting gain of $6.2 million
resulting from the reclassification.

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 2009, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

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 and, for our Mathcad products, with distributors.
Approximately 25% of our total revenue in 2009 was generated from our indirect distribution channel. Revenue
arrangements with resellers are recognized on a sell-through basis; that is, when we deliver the product to the
end-user customer. 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 and related allowances. In contrast, revenue arrangements with distributors
of our Mathcad products have a contractual right to exchange product and are recognized on a sell-in basis; that

F-7

is, when we ship the products to the distributor. As of September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the value of Mathcad
product inventory held by distributors and the accrual that we have recorded for estimated product returns were
not material.

At the time of each sale transaction, we must make an assessment of the collectibility 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. If
the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized only as payments become due from the customer,
provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met. 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. 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 any modification or customization of the software
functionality. If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the license and service elements, then
license revenue is recognized together with the consulting services using either the percentage-of-completion or
completed-contract method of contract accounting. Contract accounting for both license and service elements is
also applied to any software arrangements that include customer-specific acceptance criteria or where the license
payment is tied to the performance of consulting services. 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. If we do not have a sufficient basis
to measure progress towards completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of the contract. When total cost
estimates exceed revenues, we accrue for the estimated losses when identified. The use of the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract
hours or 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. When adjustments in
estimated contract hours or costs are determined, such revisions may have the effect of adjusting, in the current
period, the earnings applicable to performance in prior periods.

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.
Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements (i.e., maintenance, consulting and training
services) based on vendor-specific objective evidence (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 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.

F-8

Significant incremental discounts offered in multiple-element arrangements that would be characterized as

separate elements are infrequent and are carved out of software license revenues under the residual method. In
limited circumstances, where a customer receives a subscription-based license, 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. It is uncommon for us to offer a specified upgrade to an existing
product; however, in such instances, all revenue of the arrangement is deferred until the future upgrade is
delivered.

When consulting service qualifies 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 using the percentage-of-completion method. If there is a significant
uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenue is deferred
until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. 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 services 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, 2009 and 2008 were $66.0 million
and $76.8 million, respectively. Deferred revenue consisted of the following:

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments and Marketable Investments

Our cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable investments are invested in debt instruments

of financial institutions, government entities and corporations and in mutual funds. 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. Short-term investments include those investments with maturities in excess of three months but less
than one year. Marketable investments are those with maturities in excess of one year. Short-term investments
and marketable investments as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 were not material.

F-9

Short-term investments and marketable investments are classified as available for sale and reported at fair

value, with unrealized gains and losses included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
component of stockholders’ equity and amortization or accretion of premium or discount included in interest
income.

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, 2009 or 2008.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard for fair value

measurements. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies to
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this standard does not
require any new fair value measurements. In January 2008, the FASB issued a statement permitting entities to
elect to defer the effective date for one year for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We elected to defer
the adoption with respect to those assets and liabilities permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any,
that the adoption of the requirements for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in 2010 will have on
our consolidated financial statements. On October 1, 2008, we adopted the new standard and certain related
FASB staff positions for our financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

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. The
new standard establishes 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.

F-10

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were all measured

using input type Level 1 and consisted of the following as of September 30, 2009:

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 $5.3 million as
of September 30, 2009, $5.2 million as of September 30, 2008, $3.9 million as of September 30, 2007 and
$4.9 million as of September 30, 2006. Uncollectible trade accounts receivable written-off, net of recoveries,
were $1.5 million, $1.1 million and $2.9 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Provisions for bad debt
expense were $1.6 million, $2.4 million and $1.9 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Transfers of Financial Assets

We offer our customers the option to purchase software and services through payment plans. Other assets in

the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include non-current receivables from customers related to
extended payment term contracts totaling $10.5 million and $16.3 million at September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. We occasionally 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.

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 in Western European
currencies and Japanese Yen, 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

F-11

in other income (expense), net. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with exchange rate
fluctuations on forward contracts and the underlying foreign currency exposure being hedged were immaterial
for all periods presented.

As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts

equivalent to the following:

$154,700

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 include a net liability of

$0.5 million and a net asset of $1.8 million, respectively, 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 other income (expense), net, were net losses of $3.6 million, $2.9 million and $1.8
million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding the underlying foreign currency exposure being
hedged, net realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts included in other (expense) income,
net, were a net loss of $3.0 million in 2009, a net gain of $6.0 million in 2008 and a net loss of $1.4 million for
2007.

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.

Computer Software 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 are amortized based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related to such assets
are being realized. The straight-line method is used if it approximates the same amount of expense as that
calculated using the ratio that current period gross product revenues bear to total anticipated gross product
revenues. No internally-developed computer software costs were capitalized in 2009, 2008 or 2007. As described

F-12

in Note E, $6.0 million, $62.1 million and $13.1 million of software was capitalized in connection with our
acquisitions of businesses in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and is included in acquired intangible assets.

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.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, including goodwill, are 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 intangible assets with finite lives (including

purchased software, customer lists and trademarks). Purchased software is amortized over 1 to 10 years,
customer lists are amortized over 2 to 11 years and trademarks are amortized over 1 to 9 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 $2.0 million,

$2.4 million and $2.7 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, 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, changes in unrecognized actuarial gains and losses related to pension
benefits, and changes in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities. For the purposes of comprehensive
income disclosures, we do not record tax provisions or benefits for the net changes in the foreign currency
translation adjustment, as we intend to reinvest permanently undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

F-13

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity and as of
September 30, 2009 and 2008 was comprised of cumulative translation adjustment gains of $10.8 million and
$7.9 million, respectively, and unrecognized actuarial losses related to pension benefits net of tax of
$(44.4) million and $(25.2) 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 following table
presents the calculation for both basic and diluted EPS:

Stock options to purchase 3.8 million, 3.2 million and 3.5 million shares for 2009, 2008 and 2007,

respectively, had exercise prices per share that were greater than the average market price of our common stock
for those periods. These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as 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

Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification™ (the Codification). The Codification is the official single source of authoritative U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All existing accounting standards are superseded and all other
accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification does
not change GAAP. The Codification is effective for reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
impact on our financial statements from the Codification adoption was limited to disclosures as all references to
previous authoritative accounting literature were superseded by the Codification.

F-14

Transfers of Financial Assets

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for transfers of

financial assets. This amendment requires greater transparency and additional disclosures for transfers of
financial assets and the entity’s continuing involvement with them and changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets. In addition, this amendment eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-
purpose entity (QSPE). This amendment is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2009 (our fiscal 2011). We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that its adoption will
have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB also issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the

consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). The elimination of the concept of a QSPE, as discussed above,
removes the exception from applying the consolidation guidance within this amendment. This amendment
requires an enterprise to perform a qualitative analysis when determining whether or not it must consolidate a
VIE. The amendment also requires an enterprise to continuously reassess whether it must consolidate a VIE.
Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with VIEs and any
significant change in risk exposure due to that involvement, as well as how its involvement with VIEs impacts
the enterprise’s financial statements. Finally, an enterprise will be required to disclose significant judgments and
assumptions used to determine whether or not to consolidate a VIE. This amendment is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 (our fiscal 2011). We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that its adoption will have on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets

In December 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires additional disclosures for plan
assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The required disclosures include a description of
our investment policies and strategies, the fair value of each major category of plan assets, the inputs and
valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using
significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets, and the significant concentrations of risk within plan
assets. The disclosures about plan assets are required to be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2009, our fiscal 2010.

Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities

In June 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard that provides that unvested share-based payment

awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are
participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class
method. Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data (including any
amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform with the
provisions of this standard. We will be subject to this standard beginning in fiscal 2010, which began on
October 1, 2009. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that this standard will have on our consolidated
financial statements.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued updated standards on business combinations and accounting and
reporting of noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The revised standards will significantly
change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or
minority) interests in consolidated financial statements by requiring companies to: (i) recognize, with certain
exceptions, 100% of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in

F-15

acquisitions of less than a 100% controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the
acquired entity; (ii) measure acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination at fair value on
the acquisition date; (iii) recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values,
with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings; (iv) with certain exceptions, recognize
preacquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair values; (v) capitalize in-process research
and development assets acquired; (vi) expense, as incurred, acquisition-related transaction costs; and (vii) limit
the capitalization of acquisition-related restructuring as of the acquisition date. In addition, changes in accounting
for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period
will be recognized in earnings rather than as an adjustment to the cost of acquisition.

The new standards are effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, our fiscal 2010,
which began on October 1, 2009. We believe the adoption of these statements will have a material effect on the
financial accounting for any significant acquisitions completed after October 1, 2009.

Determination of the Useful Lives of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued a standard that amends the factors that should be considered in developing

renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The standard
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008, our
fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this standard will have on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

C. Restructuring and Other Charges

In 2009, to reduce 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.

As part of efforts to increase profitability, we relocated certain business functions to locations where we are

seeking to enhance our business presence and where labor costs are lower. In 2008 and 2007, we recorded
restructuring charges of $20.1 million and $15.3 million, respectively. The restructuring charges included $10.7
million and $13.2 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively, for severance and related costs associated with 185 and
262 employees notified of termination during the respective periods, and $9.4 million and $2.1 million in 2008
and 2007, respectively, of costs related to excess facilities and other costs, including $1.5 million for costs
incurred in 2008 in connection with our integration of CoCreate which we acquired in the first quarter of 2008.

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, and the accrual for employee
severance and related benefits is included in accrued compensation and benefits. As of September 30, 2009, of
the $15.8 million remaining in accrued restructuring charges, $14.7 million was included in current liabilities and
$1.1 million was included in other long-term liabilities, principally for facility costs to be paid out through 2013.

In determining the amount of the facilities accrual, we are required to estimate such factors as future
vacancy rates, the time required to sublet properties and sublease rates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly
based on known real estate market conditions and the credit-worthiness of subtenants, and may result in revisions
to established facility reserves. We had $4.0 million accrued as of September 30, 2009 related to excess facilities
(compared to $11.7 million at September 30, 2008), representing gross lease commitments with agreements
expiring at various dates through 2013 of approximately $10.2 million, net of committed sublease income of
approximately $6.1 million and a present value factor of $0.1 million.

E. Acquisitions

Relex

In the third quarter of 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 is final except

for the finalization of a tax matter, which outcome is not expected to have a material impact on the purchase
price allocation. 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 9 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 the first quarter of 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 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 of the goodwill and intangible assets
acquired are deductible for income tax purposes.

CoCreate

In the first quarter of 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of CoCreate Software GmbH,

a provider of CAD and PLM solutions, for $247.5 million (net of cash acquired and including $4.8 million of
acquisition-related transaction costs). No PTC common stock or stock options were issued in the acquisition.
Acquisition-related transaction costs included investment banking, legal and accounting fees and other external
costs directly related to the acquisition. CoCreate was a privately held company based in Sindelfingen, Germany.
CoCreate’s results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning
December 1, 2007.

The acquisition of CoCreate has been accounted for as a business combination. Assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date (November 30, 2007).
The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using an income approach, with estimates and
assumptions provided by management of CoCreate 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 certain assets and liabilities acquired.

$247.5

The purchase price allocation resulted in $166.5 million of purchase price that exceeded the estimated fair

values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, all of which was allocated to goodwill. We believe the
resulting amount of goodwill reflects our expectations of the following synergistic benefits: (1) the potential to
sell our products into CoCreate’s traditional customer base, (2) the potential to leverage our reseller channel to
sell CoCreate’s products, and (3) the potential geographic expansion for CoCreate’s products, particularly in
North America and Asia. Intangible assets of $131.0 million includes purchased software of $55.1 million,
customer relationships of $72.5 million, trademarks of $2.3 million, and non-compete agreements of $1.1
million, which are being amortized over average useful lives of 8 years, 11 years, 9 years and 1.5 years,
respectively, based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related to such assets are expected to be realized.

Net tangible assets consist of the fair values of tangible assets less the fair values of assumed liabilities and
obligations. Except for accounts receivable, pension liabilities, leases, deferred support revenues, deferred taxes
and integration accruals, net tangible assets were valued at the respective carrying amounts recorded by CoCreate
as we believe that their carrying value amounts approximate their fair values at the acquisition date. Deferred
support revenue recorded in the purchase price allocation reflects an amount equivalent to the estimated cost plus
an appropriate profit margin to perform the services related to CoCreate’s software support contracts. We
recorded integration accruals of approximately $3.0 million, primarily for severance costs related to the
termination of certain CoCreate employees, which has been fully paid as of September 30, 2009.

Purchased in-process research and development of $0.8 million 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; accordingly, such amount was written-off in the first quarter of 2008. The value of the
purchased in-process research and development was determined using the residual income method, which
discounts expected future cash flows from projects under development. Under this method, the projected cash
flow of the intangible asset considers the contribution of other assets to the overall cash flow in order to isolate
the economic benefit generated by the specific intangible asset. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 23% was used to
reflect the overall risk associated with the project. The expected cost to complete the project was approximately
$0.3 million at the acquisition date. This development project was completed in 2009.

The majority of goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the acquisition are not deductible for tax
purposes. As a result, we recorded in the purchase accounting a deferred tax liability of $34.0 million, equal to
the tax effect of the amount of the acquired intangible assets other than goodwill that are not deductible for
income tax purposes.

Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)

The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of
PTC and CoCreate, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of
each period presented. 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 the respective periods. For 2007, the pro forma financial information is based on
PTC’s results of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, combined with CoCreate’s results
of operations for its twelve months ended October 31, 2007. For 2008, the pro forma financial information is
based on PTC’s results of operations for 2008, which includes CoCreate’s results beginning December 1, 2007,
combined with CoCreate’s results of operations for the two months ended November 30, 2007.

The pro forma financial information includes the amortization charges from acquired intangible assets,

adjustments to interest income (expense) and the related tax effects.

LBS

In the first quarter of 2008, we acquired Logistics Business Systems Ltd. (LBS), a provider of integrated
logistics support solutions for the aerospace and defense and civil aviation industries, for approximately $13.1
million in cash (net of $1.6 million of cash acquired and including $0.2 million of acquisition-related transaction
costs). An additional $1.0 million of contingent purchase price will be capitalized as goodwill, if and when
earned. LBS was a privately held company based in the United Kingdom. Results of operations for LBS have
been included in our consolidated statements of operations since October 20, 2007. Our results of operations
prior to this acquisition, if presented on a pro forma basis, would not differ materially from our reported results.

The LBS acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price allocation resulted in

goodwill of $3.0 million; intangible assets of $10.7 million (including purchased software of $7.0 million,
customer relationships of $3.6 million, and other intangible assets of $0.1 million, which are being amortized
over estimated useful lives of 8, 8 and 5 years, respectively); and other net assets of $1.0 million. None of the
goodwill or intangible assets acquired is 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, 2009 and
2008, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable
segment was $573.1 million and $563.2 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment
was $23.4 million and $24.3 million, respectively. Goodwill and other intangible assets are 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 4, 2009 and concluded that no impairment charge was required as of that date.
Through September 30, 2009, 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.

In November 2008, 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 will enable 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

F-22

property being transferred and as of September 30, 2009, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet included
deferred charges of $18.6 million ($3.6 million in other current assets and $15.0 million in other assets). We
expect this realignment to favorably impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

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 pre-payment 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 2008, no material
provision or benefit was recorded resulting from tax audits. In 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of $3.9 million
from the favorable outcome of a tax refund claim in the U.S.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, income taxes payable and income tax accruals recorded in accrued
income taxes and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $17.0 million ($9.2
million in accrued income taxes and $7.8 million in other liabilities) and $33.3 million ($24.1 million in accrued
income taxes and $9.2 million in other liabilities), respectively We made net income tax payments of $55.6
million, $33.3 million and $17.8 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The change in the net deferred tax asset from $68.6 million in 2008 to $123.5 million in 2009 includes the

use of foreign tax credits and a corresponding release of the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits as a result
of the realignment of our European business. The benefit of this valuation allowance release is deferred over the
useful life of the property being transferred. The change of net deferred tax assets also includes an increase to

F-23

pension benefits of $9.8 million included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The release of valuation
allowance of $6.6 million, along with a corresponding reduction to net operating loss carryforwards, for windfall
tax deductions to additional paid-in capital is also reflected.

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, 2009, we had U.S. federal
NOL carryforwards of $34.8 million which expire beginning in 2011 and ending in 2023. Included in this are
NOL carryforwards of $5.7 million resulting from our acquisitions of Arbortext, Mathsoft, and CoCreate which
expire beginning in 2020 through 2027, and NOL carryforwards of $29.1 million resulting from our January
1998 acquisition of Computervision, which expire beginning in 2011 through 2023. The utilization of the
Arbortext, Mathsoft, CoCreate and Computervision 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. In 2008 and 2007, we
recorded realized stock-based award windfall tax benefits in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions of $0.2 million and
$0.3 million, respectively, as increases to additional paid-in-capital.

As of September 30, 2009, we also had U.S. federal research and development credit carryforwards of $9.9
million, which expire beginning in 2025 and ending in 2028 and Massachusetts research and development credit
carryforwards of $2.6 million which expire beginning in 2020 and ending in 2023. 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 $101.7 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 the end of the second quarter of 2007, a full valuation allowance had been recorded against our net

deferred tax assets (consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards) in the U.S. and certain foreign
jurisdictions. Based upon our operating results for the years immediately preceding and through June 30, 2007, as
well as an assessment of our expected future results of operations, during the third quarter of 2007, we
determined that it had become more likely than not that we would realize a substantial portion of our net deferred
tax assets in the U.S. and a foreign jurisdiction. As a result, during the third quarter of 2007, we released a total
of $79.8 million of our valuation allowances. Of the $79.8 million valuation allowance release, $58.9 million was
recorded as a one-time income tax benefit, $20.0 million was recorded as a reduction to goodwill recorded upon
prior acquisitions, and $0.9 million was recorded as a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive loss within
stockholders’ equity.

As of September 30, 2009, we have a remaining valuation allowance of $23.2 million against net deferred

tax assets in the U.S. and a remaining valuation allowance of $23.1 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 $17.8 million for foreign tax credits, $2.6 million for Massachusetts research and development credits and
$2.7 million for capital losses that we have determined are not likely to be realized and $0.1 million for certain
state operating loss carryforwards that will likely expire without being utilized. The valuation allowance recorded
against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions is established primarily for our net operating loss
carryforwards that will likely expire without being utilized.

Significant management judgment is required to determine when the realization in the future of our net
deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance of $46.3 million 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.

F-24

At September 30, 2009, our net deferred tax asset balance of $123.5 million primarily relates to our U.S.
operations. We have concluded, based on the weight of available evidence, that our net deferred tax assets are
more likely than not to be realized in the future. In arriving at this conclusion, we evaluated all available
evidence, including our pre-tax results for the last three years (adjusted for permanent differences), the
circumstances of a pre-tax loss generated in the U.S. in the most recent fiscal year and our forecast of future
taxable income. We reassess our valuation allowance requirements each financial reporting period. If our results
in 2010 do not improve in our U.S. operations, our assessment may indicate that a valuation allowance is
required.

Our valuation allowance was $46.3 million as of September 30, 2009, $66.0 million as of September 30,
2008, and $76.5 million as of September 30, 2007. The changes to the valuation allowance were primarily due to:

(1) The net decrease in deferred tax assets for foreign jurisdictions with a full valuation allowance in 2008 is

(2)

primarily due to a foreign jurisdiction’s change in income tax rate and foreign currency translation. In 2009,
the change is primarily due to foreign currency translation.
In 2009, this reduction is primarily attributed to the release of the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits
in the U.S. as a result of the realignment of our European business. The benefit of this release is deferred
over the useful life of the property being transferred. Accordingly, the current year release amount is
included in foreign rate differences in the reconciliation between our statutory rate and our effective rate.

Effective October 1, 2007, a new methodology by which a company must identify, recognize, measure and
disclose in its financial statements the effects of any uncertain tax return reporting positions that a company has
taken or expects to take was required under GAAP. GAAP requires financial statement reporting of the expected
future tax consequences of uncertain tax return reporting positions on the presumption that all relevant tax
authorities possess full knowledge of those tax reporting positions, as well as all of the pertinent facts and
circumstances, but it prohibits discounting of any of the related tax effects for the time value of money.

We implemented the new methodology as of October 1, 2007. We recorded the effect of adopting the

revised accounting with a $7.2 million charge to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet as of
October 1, 2007.

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 2009 and 2008, we included $0.8 million and $0.4 million,

F-25

respectively, of interest expense and no tax penalty expense, in our income tax provision. As of both
September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had accrued $0.8 million of estimated interest expense. We had no accrued tax
penalties as of either September 30, 2009 or September 30, 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, we had an unrecognized tax benefit of $16.9 million ($15.6 million net of tax

benefits from other jurisdictions). As of September 30, 2008, we had an unrecognized tax benefit of $26.3
million ($21.9 million net of tax benefits from other jurisdictions). If all of our unrecognized tax benefits as of
September 30, 2009 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:

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 $3 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, 2009 we remain subject to examination in the
following major tax jurisdictions for the tax years indicated:

We incurred expenses related to stock-based compensation in 2009, 2008 and 2007 of $43.3 million, $44.4

million and $36.4 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 related tax
deductions. The tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of operations related to stock-based
compensation totaled $13.9 million, $14.7 million and $31.1 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
2007 tax benefit related to stock-based compensation includes $17.8 million related to prior years recognized
upon release of the valuation allowance in 2007 for the U.S. and a foreign jurisdiction. 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 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. As of September 30, 2009, any windfall tax deductions which had not yet reduced taxes were not
material.

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 $166.3 million and $191.6 million as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amount
of unrecognized deferred tax liability on the undistributed earnings cannot be practicably determined at this time.

H. Commitments and Contingencies

Leasing Arrangements

We lease office facilities and certain equipment under operating leases expiring at various dates through
2020. 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 $39.2 million, $36.5 million and $35.3 million in 2009, 2008
and 2007, respectively. At September 30, 2009, our future minimum lease payments (net of sublease income)

As a result of restructuring initiatives in current and prior years and consolidating acquired facilities, 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, 2009 is $6.2 million ($2.9 million in 2010, $1.7 million in 2011, $1.5 million in 2012 and
$0.1 million in 2014).

As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of

approximately $4.8 million (of which $1.4 million was collateralized) and $4.8 million (of which $1.7 million
was collateralized), respectively, primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease in Needham,
Massachusetts.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On February 21, 2006, we entered into a multi-currency bank revolving credit facility with a syndicate of

seven banks. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of
businesses. The credit facility consists of a $230 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 increased commitments.
The credit facility expires on February 20, 2011, when all outstanding amounts will be due and payable in full.
Any obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by PTC’s material domestic subsidiaries and are
collateralized by a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of PTC’s material first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Interest rates for amounts borrowed under the credit facility range from 0.75% to 1.50% above the

Eurodollar rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or at the defined base rate for base rate borrowings, in each case
based upon our leverage ratio. In addition, we may borrow certain foreign currencies at the London interbank-

F-27

offered interest rates for those currencies, with the same range above such rates based on our leverage ratio. A
quarterly commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the credit facility is required to be paid by us, ranging
from 0.125% to 0.30% per year, depending upon our leverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2009, the amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility was 39.6 million
Euros, which was equivalent to $57.9 million on that date. The current loan matures on February 26, 2010 and
accrues interest at 1.8%.

Upon the due date, and subsequent due dates, we may either repay the amount outstanding or roll over the

amount outstanding with new short term loans at the then current interest rates described above. In 2009 and
2008, we paid $2.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of interest on our revolving credit facility. The average
interest rate on borrowings outstanding during 2009 and 2008 was approximately 3.2% and 5.5%, respectively.

The credit facility limits our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: incur additional

indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends 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, we and our material domestic subsidiaries may not invest cash or property
in, or loan cash to, our foreign subsidiaries in aggregate amounts exceeding $25 million for any purpose and an
additional $50 million for acquisitions of businesses. In addition, under the credit facility, PTC must maintain a
defined leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 and a defined fixed-charge ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00.
Any failure to comply with the financial or operating covenants of the credit facility would not only prevent us
from being able to borrow additional funds, but would also constitute a default, resulting in, among other things,
the amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, becoming immediately due and payable.
A change in control of PTC (as defined in the credit facility) also constitutes an event of default, permitting the
lenders to accelerate the required payments of all amounts due and to terminate the credit facility. As of
September 30, 2009, our leverage ratio was 0.43 to 1.00 and our fixed-charge ratio was 4.40 to 1.00. We were in
compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of September 30, 2009.

Legal Proceedings

On August 2, 2007, GE Capital Leasing Corporation (now GE Financial Services Corporation, “GEFS”)
filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleges that
GEFS was fraudulently induced to provide over $60 million in financing to Toshiba Corporation for purchases of
third party products, predominantly PTC products, during the period from 2003 to 2006. GEFS claims that PTC
participated in the alleged scheme or, alternatively, should have been aware of the scheme and made negligent
misrepresentations that enabled the scheme to continue undetected. All of the alleged transactions occurred in
Japan. GEFS’s complaint claims damages of $47 million and seeks three times that amount plus attorneys’ fees.
On October 2, 2008, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered an order granting
PTC’s motion to dismiss GEFS’s complaint on the basis that GEFS had commenced the action in the improper
forum. The court issued this order subject to certain conditions, including PTC’s agreement to provide certain
discovery to GEFS and to assent to personal jurisdiction in Japan. On November 17, 2008, GEFS filed a motion
to vacate the court’s October 2nd order and to seek to continue the case in the U.S. We have opposed GEFS’s
motion.

On January 7, 2009, GEFS also filed an action in Tokyo District Court in Japan against PTC’s Japanese

subsidiary, PTC Japan K.K. The lawsuit arises from the same underlying transactions as the Massachusetts
lawsuit and seeks damages of 5,808,384,889 Yen (approximately $65 million as of September 30, 2009) plus
interest of 5% per year on such amount since April 27, 2007 and costs of the lawsuit. Subsequently, the Tokyo
District Court consolidated this newly filed action with GEFS’s pending action against Toshiba and other parties
to the transactions, which was filed in the Tokyo District Court in August 2007. In the Japanese action, GEFS
alleges that employees of PTC Japan committed wrongful acts in cooperation with employees of other companies
involved in the transactions, including an employee of Toshiba who was criminally convicted for obtaining

F-28

fraudulent loans. GEFS alleges that the wrongful acts committed by PTC Japan employees caused GEFS’s
damages and that PTC Japan, as an employer, is jointly and severally liable for GEFS’s losses along with the
other defendants.

We dispute GEFS’s claims and are contesting them vigorously. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008,
revenue of 4,658,162,417 Yen ($51.9 million and $43.8 million, respectively) that was previously recorded for
the transactions at issue has been deferred and recorded as customer advances in our consolidated balance sheets.
That liability will remain recorded until the rights and obligations of the several companies connected with the
Toshiba transactions are resolved. The change in customer advances at September 30, 2009 from September 30,
2008 is due to foreign currency translation adjustments. We have not accrued any other liability for this matter as
of September 30, 2009 as an amount potentially payable, if any, is not estimable. To the extent that matters are
resolved in an amount less than the recorded customer advances liability, we will reduce customer advances and
record the portion retained to revenue or other income at that time. To the extent that matters are resolved in an
amount in excess of the recorded customer advances liability, we would record expense for the amount due in
excess of our recorded liability.

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

currently believe that resolving these other matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial
condition or results of operations.

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
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.

I. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

We may issue up to 5.0 million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series. Our Board of Directors

is authorized to fix the rights and terms for any series of preferred stock without additional shareholder approval.
In November 2000, our Board of Directors authorized and designated 500,000 shares of preferred stock as
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for issuance pursuant to our Shareholder Rights Plan discussed
below in Note J. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no outstanding shares of preferred stock.

F-29

Common Stock

Our Articles of Organization authorize us to issue up to 500 million shares of our common stock. Our Board

of Directors has authorized us to use up to $100 million of cash from operations to repurchase shares of our
common stock in open market purchases. This authorization will expire on May 31, 2010 unless earlier revoked.
In 2009, we repurchased 1.2 million shares at a cost of $14.2 million leaving $80.6 million remaining under our
current authorization. In 2008, we repurchased 1.7 million shares at a cost of $27.3 million, including 1.4 million
shares at a cost of $22.0 million under a prior authorization. In 2007, we repurchased 0.6 million shares at a cost
of $10 million. All shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized
and unissued.

J. Shareholder Rights Plan

In November 2000, our Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend
distribution of one share purchase right (a Right) for each outstanding share of our common stock to stockholders
of record at the close of business on January 5, 2001. Each share of common stock newly issued after that date
also carries with it one Right. Each Right entitles the record holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a
share of our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $60.00 per unit, subject to
adjustment. The Rights become exercisable ten (10) days after the earlier of our announcement that a person has
acquired 15% or more of our outstanding common stock or an announcement of a tender offer which would
result in a person or group acquiring 15% or more of our common stock; in either case, the Board of Directors
can extend the 10 day period. If we have not redeemed or exchanged the Rights and a person becomes the
beneficial owner of 15% or more of our common stock (a Triggering Event), each holder of a Right will have the
right to purchase shares of our common stock having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right.
If, at any time following the Triggering Event, we are acquired in a merger or other business combination
transaction in which we are not the surviving corporation or more than 50% of our assets or earning power is sold
to a person or group, each holder of a Right will have the right to purchase shares of common stock of the
acquiring person, group or entity having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The Rights
expire on January 5, 2011, and may be redeemed by us for $0.001 per Right.

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 2009, 2008 and 2007 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 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $10.32, $17.95 and $18.55, 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.

(1) 254 of these performance-based restricted stock units were granted to non-executive employees pursuant to
our annual management incentive plan (MIP RSUs). 127 vested in November 2009 and the remainder were
forfeited as the performance criteria were not achieved in full. The remaining 1,590 of these performance-
based restricted stock units were granted to our executive officers under three separate arrangements. 323
were granted pursuant to our annual executive incentive plan established in November 2008 (EIP I RSUs).
These EIP I RSUs were forfeited in November 2009 as the performance criteria were not met. 888 were
granted as part of our annual executive equity incentive grant and were subject to the same performance
criteria as the EIP I RSUs (Annual Executive RSUs). The Annual Executive RSUs were not earned and
were forfeited in November 2009. The final 379 were granted pursuant to the executive incentive plan for
the second half of 2009 established in March 2009 in connection with revisions to our 2009 financial plan
and were subject to performance criteria established at that time (EIP II RSUs). The performance criteria for
the EIP II RSUs were met and these shares vested in November 2009. We have not recognized
compensation expense on the MIP RSUs, the EIP I RSUs and the Annual Executive RSUs that were not
earned.

(2) The time-based RSUs were issued to executive and non-executive employees and vest over three years.

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 up to 15% 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 $4.2 million, $3.7
million and $3.9 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

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 two of the international plans were frozen indefinitely. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we settled the
remaining liability related to one of these plans and recorded a settlement gain of $2.1 million.

(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% and 2.9% at
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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.

For the U.S. plan and the German CoCreate plan, the long-term total return goal, presently 7.50% and
7.25%, respectively, includes income plus realized and unrealized gains and/or losses on the plan assets. 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. For the other international plans, the rate of return is
expected to be in line with fixed income local government bonds with comparable terms.

statements of operations for each year are shown below:

(1) Other non-U.S. primarily represent fixed income and short term investments held with an insurance

company that have a guaranteed rate of return set annually.

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 the German
CoCreate plan, and 100% fixed income securities for the other international plans. The fixed income securities
for the 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’s 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 2009, 2008 and 2007, our actual return on plan assets was a gain of $1.8 million, a loss of $13.2 million

and a gain of $6.3 million, 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 $6.9 million,

$4.7 million, and $7.7 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to the plans. We expect to make
contributions totaling approximately $2.7 million in 2010.

As of September 30, 2009, benefit payments expected to be paid over the next ten years are outlined in the

following table:

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-making group is our executive
officers. We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Software Products, which includes license and
related maintenance revenue (including new releases 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, 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:

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, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2009 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, 2009, 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.

As discussed in Note G to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which

it accounts for, and discloses, uncertain tax positions as of October 1, 2007.

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.
