Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Annual Report about our 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 factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from
these statements is discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and generally throughout this Annual Report.

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

ITEM 1. Business

PART I

Overview

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

We offer solutions in the product lifecycle management, or PLM, market (product data management,
collaboration and related solutions) and the CAx market (computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering
(CAD, CAM and CAE) solutions). Our software solutions provide our customers with an integral product
development system that enables them to create digital product content, collaborate with others in the product
development process, control product content, automate product development processes, configure products and
product content, and communicate product information to people and systems across the extended enterprise and
design chain.

We recently acquired MKS Inc., a global application lifecycle management (ALM) technology leader.

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

We generate revenue through the sale of:

•

•

•

software licenses,

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

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

The PLM, ALM and the CAx markets we serve present different growth opportunities for us. We believe

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

Our solutions are complemented by our experienced services and technical support organizations which
provide consulting, implementation and training support services to customers worldwide. Resellers supplement

1

this direct sales force to provide greater geographic and small- and medium-size account coverage, while other
strategic partners provide product and/or service offerings that complement our solutions.

Our Principal Products and Services

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

Direct and Indirect.

Enterprise revenue includes our PLM solutions, primarily: Windchill® (including Relex® and InSightTM ,

now branded Windchill Quality Solutions and Windchill Product Analytics Solutions, respectively), Arbortext®
enterprise products, Creo ViewTM (formerly ProductView®), and Integrity®. Desktop revenue includes our CAx
Solutions: Creo, including Creo ParametricTM (formerly Pro/ENGINEER®) and Creo Elements/Direct TM
(formerly CoCreate®), Arbortext authoring products, and Mathcad®. Direct revenue includes sales made
primarily by our direct sales force to large businesses. Indirect revenue includes sales by our reseller channel,
primarily to small- and medium-size businesses, as well as revenue from other accounts that we have classified
as indirect.

Enterprise Solutions

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

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

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

•

•

•

•

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

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

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

Quality solutions that manage product performance, reliability and safety.

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

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

2

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

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

Desktop Solutions

Our Desktop Solutions include our integrated Creo software suite (excluding Creo View), our Mathcad®

engineering calculations software and our Arbortext document authoring tools.

We launched the Creo product family in June 2011. Creo was developed to remedy problems that were not

being addressed by mechanical CAD tools: usability, interoperability, assembly management and technology
bias. Leveraging technology assets unique to PTC, Creo is a scalable suite of interoperable, open, and easy-to-use
product design applications that provide the right-size solution for each participant in the design process. Creo
offers upwards compatibility with other PTC products. In addition to Creo Parametric (described below), several
standalone applications deliver new capabilities for 2D and 3D CAD modeling, analysis and visualization. Creo
also provides an unprecedented level of interoperability to ensure that data can be easily shared between teams
both internally and externally.

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

Creo Parametric (formerly Pro/ENGINEER®) is a family of three-dimensional product design solutions

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

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

Mathcad ® is an engineering calculation software solution that combines a computational engine, accessed

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

3

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

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

Maintenance Services

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

Consulting and Training Services

We offer consulting, implementation and training services through our Global Services Organization, with

nearly 1,500 professionals worldwide, as well as through third-party resellers and other strategic partners. Our
services create value by helping customers improve product development performance through technology
enabled process improvement.

Geographic and Segment Information

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

Research and Development

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

functionality of our products. Approximately one third of our employees are dedicated to research and
development initiatives, conducted primarily in the United States, Israel and India.

Our research and development expenses were $211.4 million in 2011, $201.6 million in 2010 and $188.5

million in 2009. Additional information about our research and development expenditures may be found in
Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of
Operations—Costs and Expenses—Research and Development” of this Annual Report.

Sales and Marketing

We derive most of our revenue from products and services sold directly by our sales force to end-user
customers. We also sell products and services through third-party resellers and other strategic partners. Our sales
force focuses on large accounts, while our reseller channel provides a cost-effective means of covering the small-
and medium-size business market. Our strategic services partners provide product and/or service offerings that
complement our offerings.

Competition

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

compete with a number of companies that offer solutions that address one or more specific functional areas
covered by our solutions, including: Dassault Systemes SA and Siemens AG for traditional CAx solutions, PLM

4

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

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

Solid Edge and Dassault Systemes SA’s SolidWorks for sales to smaller manufacturing customers.

Proprietary Rights

Our software products and related technical know-how, along with our trademarks, including our company

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

Our proprietary rights are subject to risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below.

You should read that discussion, which is incorporated into this section by reference.

Backlog

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

Employees

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

Corporate Information

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

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

I. Operational Considerations

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

Our quarterly operating results historically have fluctuated and are likely to continue to fluctuate depending

on a number of factors, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accordingly, our quarterly results are difficult to predict prior to the end of the quarter and we may be

unable to confirm or adjust expectations with respect to our operating results for a particular quarter until that
quarter has closed. Any failure to meet our quarterly revenue or earnings targets could adversely impact the
market price of our stock.

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

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

6

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

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

The market for product development solutions is rapidly changing and increasingly competitive. We expect

competition to intensify, which could result in price reductions for our products and services, reduced margins
and loss of market share. Our primary competition comes from:

•

•

•

larger companies that offer PLM and/or CAx solutions;

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

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

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

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

Our ability to remain competitive will depend on our ability to enhance our current offerings and develop

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

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

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

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

7

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

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

Moreover, business combinations also involve a number of risks and uncertainties that can adversely affect

our operations and operating results, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

diversion of management and employee attention;

loss of key personnel;

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

assumption of unanticipated legal or financial liabilities;

incurring debt to finance an acquisition;

impairment of acquired intangible assets, including goodwill; and

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

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

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

personnel.

We require highly skilled technical personnel to develop our products. Competition for such personnel in

our industry is intense. If we are unable to attract and retain technical personnel with the requisite skills, our
product development efforts could be delayed, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Our sales efforts rely on having a sufficient number of sales representatives and sales support personnel with

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

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

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

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights.

Our software products and trademarks, including our company names, product names and logos, are

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

8

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

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

The software industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding copyright, patent and other

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Developing and localizing software products is expensive, and the investment in product development often

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

9

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

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

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

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from maintenance contracts. These contracts are generally

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

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

As a multinational organization, we are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in the

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

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

including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

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

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

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

changes to the financial accounting rules for income taxes;

unanticipated changes in tax rates; and

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

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

We derive revenues from contracts with the U.S. government, state and local governments and their

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

10

II. Other Considerations

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

We have been investigating payments by certain business partners and expenses by certain employees in

China that raise questions of compliance with laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and/or
compliance with our business policies. In connection with this matter, we have terminated certain employees and
business partners in China, which may have an adverse impact on our level of sales in China until such
replacements for those employees and business partners are in place and productive. Revenue from China has
historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue. We have voluntarily disclosed the results of our
investigation and associated remedial actions to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and
Exchange Commission. We are unable to predict the outcome of these voluntary disclosures, which could include
fines or other sanctions.

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

Under the terms of our credit facility, we may borrow up to $300 million (with an accordion feature that

allows us to borrow up to an additional $150 million if the existing or additional lenders agree), repay the same
in whole or in part and re-borrow at any time through September 30, 2016, at which time any amounts
outstanding will be due and payable in full. Our current balance outstanding under the credit facility is
$240 million, primarily related to our acquisition of MKS in the third quarter of 2011. We may wish to borrow
additional amounts under the facility in the future to support our operations, including for strategic acquisitions.

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

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

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

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

ITEM 2. Properties

We currently lease 125 offices used in operations in the United States and internationally, predominately as

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

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

The European Commission is conducting an investigation of allegedly anti-competitive practices within the

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

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

Executive Overview

Our momentum continued in 2011 and we achieved $1.17 billion in revenue, our highest annual revenue

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

•

•

•

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

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

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

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

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

Revenue, Operating Margin, Earnings per Share and Cash Flow

The following table shows the financial measures that we consider the most significant indicators of the
performance of our business. In addition to providing operating income, operating margin, and diluted earnings
per share as calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), it shows non-GAAP operating
income, operating margin, and diluted earnings per share for the reported periods. These non-GAAP measures
exclude a fair value adjustment related to acquired deferred maintenance revenue, stock-based compensation,
amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, in-process
research and development expenses, one-time gains or charges included in non-operating other income (expense)
and the related tax effects of the preceding items, and any one–time tax items. Excluding those expenses and

14

one-time items provides investors another view of our operating results which is aligned with management
budgets and with performance criteria in our incentive compensation plans. Management uses, and investors
should use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results. We discuss the non-GAAP measures in
detail under “Income and Margins; Earnings per Share” below.

In the first quarter of 2011 we entered into a strategic contract with an automotive customer for which we
expect costs to exceed revenue by approximately $5 million. This loss was recorded in the first quarter of
2011 and resulted in a decrease in GAAP and non-GAAP operating income of approximately $5 million in
2011 compared to 2010.

(2) GAAP net income in 2011 included foreign currency losses of $4.4 million related to our acquisition of
MKS and $0.7 million of foreign currency losses related to a litigation settlement. GAAP net income in
2010 included a gain of $9.0 million resulting from a litigation settlement and a one-time tax provision of
$43.4 million (an impact of $0.36 on GAAP diluted earnings per share) in connection with a legal entity
reorganization. GAAP net income in 2009 included a one-time tax benefit of $7.6 million (benefitting
GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.06) in connection with the litigation in Japan. The items above have
been excluded from non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for each respective period.
In the first quarter of 2011, we used $48 million, net, of cash in connection with the resolution of a litigation
matter.

(3)

2011 compared to 2010

Revenue in 2011 grew 16% (12% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2010. Excluding the impact of

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

15

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

Our Desktop license revenue and Desktop total revenue grew 33% and 15%, respectively, in 2011 compared

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

Costs and expenses in 2011, compared to 2010, were impacted by a number of factors, including higher cost

of service in support of services revenue growth, investments in our direct sales force, incremental headcount,
costs from acquisitions, and a company-wide merit pay increase. These items are described in more detail in Cost
and Expenses below.

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

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

2010 compared to 2009

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

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

16

These cost increases were partially offset by the impact of headcount reductions made in the third and fourth

quarters of 2009 (and related restructuring charges recorded in GAAP operating income in 2009).

Our GAAP and non-GAAP operating income increased in 2010 compared to 2009 primarily because of the

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

Cash flow from operating activities was $156.6 million in 2010, compared with $69.7 million in 2009. The

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

Fiscal Year 2012 Expectations, Strategies and Risks

Based on 2011 results, current economic conditions and spending patterns, the competitive strength of our

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

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

Our results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by revenue from large

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

Impact of an Investigation in China

We have been investigating payments by certain business partners and expenses by certain employees in

China that raise questions of compliance with laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and/or
compliance with our business policies. In connection with this matter, we have terminated certain employees and
business partners in China, which may have an adverse impact on our level of sales in China until such
replacements for those employees and business partners are in place and productive. Revenue from China has
historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue. We have voluntarily disclosed the results of our
investigation and associated remedial actions to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and
Exchange Commission. We are unable to predict the outcome of these voluntary disclosures, which could include
fines or other sanctions.

Results of Operations

Acquisitions

We acquired MKS, a global application lifecycle management (ALM) technology leader, on May 31, 2011.

In early September, we acquired 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS), a developer of warranty management and service
lifecycle management (SLM) software. The acquisition of 4CS broadens PTC’s portfolio of solutions for product
support and service organizations, and supports PTC’s vision for solutions that span both product and service
lifecycles.

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

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange on Results of Operations

Approximately two thirds of our revenue and half of our expenses are transacted in currencies other than the

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

Revenue

Our revenue consists of software license revenue and service revenue. Service revenue includes software

maintenance revenue (consisting of providing our customers software updates and technical support) as well as
consulting and training revenue (including implementation services).

Desktop revenue includes our CAx Solutions: Creo Parametric, Creo Elements/Direct, Arbortext authoring

products and Mathcad. Enterprise revenue includes our PLM solutions: Windchill, Arbortext enterprise products,
Creo View, and Integrity.

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

License Revenue

2011 compared to 2010

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

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

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

compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

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

Consulting and Training Revenue

2011 compared to 2010

Consulting and training services engagements typically result from sales of new licenses, particularly of our

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

Foreign currency exchange rate movements favorably impacted consulting and training services revenue by

$8.3 million in 2011, compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

Weak license sales in 2009 had an adverse impact on services revenue in the first half of 2010. Toward the

end of 2010, our consulting and training revenue began to stabilize with consulting and training revenue in the
fourth quarter of 2010 increasing 5% year over year and 1% sequentially. Total consulting revenue, which is
primarily related to Windchill implementations, was down 3% in 2010. Total training revenue, which typically

20

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

Consulting and training services revenue in 2010 was favorably impacted by $3.9 million as a result of

foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Maintenance Revenue

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

new licenses.

2011 compared to 2010

We have seen steady growth in maintenance revenue in 2011, particularly in the second half of the year. Our

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

Foreign currency exchange rate movements favorably impacted maintenance revenue by $17.2 million in

2011, compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

While maintenance revenue in 2010 was adversely impacted by the global economic climate and soft license

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

Revenue by Distribution Channel

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

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

Distribution Channel above.

Direct

Our direct revenue was 73%, 72% and 70% of our total revenue in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. To

address market demand and what we believe to be current capacity constraints, we expanded the number of sales
personnel in the second half of 2011 and we plan to add additional direct sales capacity in 2012.

Indirect

We have over 420 geographically dispersed resellers. Our resellers are focused primarily on selling our

Desktop products, Creo and Mathcad, and Windchill PDMLink®.

21

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

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

Revenue from Individual Customers

We enter into customer contracts that may result in revenue being recognized over multiple reporting
periods. Accordingly, revenue recognized in a current period may be attributable to contracts entered into during
the current period or in prior periods. License and/or consulting and training service revenue of $1 million or
more recognized from individual customers in a single quarter during the fiscal year from contracts entered into
during that quarter and/or a prior quarter is shown in the table below. The amount of revenue, particularly license
revenue, attributable to large transactions, and the number of such transactions, may vary significantly from
quarter to quarter based on customer purchasing decisions, the completion of large services engagements
commenced in previous quarters, non-renewal of large maintenance contracts and macroeconomic conditions.

The increase in license and consulting and training service revenue greater than $1 million from individual

customers in a quarter in 2011 compared to 2010 reflects increased revenue from Desktop licenses (mainly Creo)
and Enterprise services, partially offset by lower sales of Enterprise licenses. The increase in 2010 was due
primarily to the sale of Enterprise products to large direct customers.

Americas

2011 compared to 2010

The increase in revenue in the Americas in 2011 compared to 2010 consisted of a 5% ($6.4 million) increase

in license revenue, a 22% ($17.3 million) increase in consulting and training service revenue and a 10% ($19.7
million) increase in maintenance revenue. The relatively low license revenue growth in 2011 was, in part,
because the first half of 2010 included several particularly large Windchill transactions. Our direct revenue
increased 12% ($38.4 million) and our indirect revenue increased 7% ($4.9 million) in 2011 compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

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

Europe

2011 compared to 2010

The increase in revenue in 2011 compared to 2010 consisted of an increase in license revenue of 30% ($29.4

million), an increase in consulting and training service revenue of 24% ($21.2 million) and an increase in
maintenance revenue of 13% ($27.4 million). The increase in license revenue reflects growth in license sales of
Desktop products to large customers. Total Desktop and Enterprise license revenue increased 57% ($26.1
million) and 7% ($3.4 million), respectively, in 2011 compared to 2010. Our direct revenue increased 25%
($63.5 million) and our indirect revenue increased 10% ($14.5 million) in 2011 compared to 2010.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro, impacted revenue in Europe favorably by

$20.8 million in 2011, as compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

Revenue in Europe in 2010 compared to 2009 reflects an increase in license revenue of 47% ($31.1 million)

driven by direct Enterprise license sales, offset by decreases of 12% ($11.5 million) and 2% ($3.5 million) in
consulting and training service revenue and maintenance revenue, respectively. Our direct revenue increased 7%
($16.2 million) and our indirect revenue decreased slightly ($0.1 million) in 2010 compared to 2009. Foreign
currency exchange rate movements, particularly the Euro, impacted revenue in Europe favorably by $6.3 million
in 2010.

Pacific Rim

2011 compared to 2010

The increase in revenue in the Pacific Rim in 2011 compared to 2010 was due primarily to an increase of 19%

($6.8 million) in consulting and training service revenue and an increase of 22% ($7.7 million) in maintenance

23

revenue. Revenue from China increased 10% in 2011 compared to 2010, and represented 6% to 7% of our total
revenue in 2011, 2010 and 2009. Our direct revenue increased 8% ($7.7 million) and our indirect revenue increased
23% ($8.7 million) in 2011 compared to 2010.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenue in the Pacific Rim by $4.2 million

in 2011 as compared to 2010.

2010 compared to 2009

The increase in revenue in the Pacific Rim in 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to an increase of

44% ($18.8 million) in license revenue. Additionally, maintenance revenue increased 9% ($3.0 million).
Revenue from customers in China increased 24% compared to 2009. Our direct revenue increased 15% ($12.6
million) and our indirect revenue increased 32% ($9.2 million) in 2010 compared to 2009. Revenue in the Pacific
Rim in 2010 was favorably impacted by $2.7 million due to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates.

Japan

2011 compared to 2010

The increase in revenue in Japan in 2011 compared to 2010 included increases of 42% ($8.4 million) in

license revenue, 27% ($4.2 million) in consulting and training service revenue and 10% ($6.5 million) in
maintenance revenue. Japan revenue benefitted from a large transaction in the second quarter of 2011. Our direct
revenue increased 24% ($14.7 million) and our indirect revenue increased 10% ($4.4 million) in 2011 compared
to 2010.

Changes in the Yen to U.S. Dollar exchange rate favorably impacted revenue in Japan by $11.7 million in

2011 as compared to 2010.

Revenue in Japan in 2010 compared to 2009 reflects an increase of 29% ($4.5 million) in license revenue,
partially offset by declines in maintenance revenue of 3% ($2.1 million) and in consulting and training service
revenue of 14% ($2.5 million). Our direct revenue declined 4% ($2.4 million) and our indirect revenue increased
6% ($2.3 million) in 2010 compared to 2009. Revenue in Japan in 2010 was favorably impacted by $6.5 million
due to the impact of changes in the Yen to U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

24

2011 compared to 2010

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

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

higher cost of service in support of services revenue growth;

investments in our direct sales force;

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

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

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

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

higher sales and marketing expenses associated with events, including our Creo product launch; and

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

2010 compared to 2009

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

•

•

•

•

•

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

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

higher commission expense due to an increase in license revenue;

investments in research and development; and

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

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

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

25

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

Our cost of service revenue includes costs associated with consulting, training and customer support
personnel, such as salaries and related costs; third-party subcontractor fees; costs associated with the release of
maintenance updates (including related royalty costs); and facility costs. Service margins can vary based on the
product mix sold in the period. Margins on maintenance revenue are significantly higher than on consulting and
training service revenue. Maintenance revenue comprised 68%, 70% and 69% of total service revenue in 2011,
2010 and 2009, respectively.

In 2011, compared to 2010, total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were 18% ($33.1 million)
higher, primarily due to increased headcount. Additionally, the cost of third-party consulting services was $11.8
million higher in 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to the increase in consulting and training service revenue
in 2011. Service headcount at the end of 2011 increased by approximately 450 employees compared to the year
ago period, including approximately 150 employees from our acquisition of MKS and approximately 60
employees from our acquisition of 4CS. In the first quarter of 2011, we made a strategic decision to enter into a
contract with an important customer in the automotive industry for which we expected our costs to exceed our
revenue by approximately $5 million. Cost of service revenue in the first quarter of 2011 included immediate
recognition of this loss of approximately $5 million.

Total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were 4% ($7.2 million) higher in 2010 compared to

2009. The cost of third-party consulting services was $6.7 million lower in 2010 compared 2009 due to the
decrease in consulting and training services in 2010. Services headcount was up due to hiring to support planned
revenue growth.

Our sales and marketing expenses primarily include salaries and benefits, sales commissions, advertising

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

26

Our compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher by an aggregate of $14.1 million in 2010

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

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

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

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

Total compensation, benefit costs and travel costs were higher in 2010 compared to 2009 by an aggregate of

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

Given the challenging macroeconomic environment and lower revenue in 2009, we implemented workforce

reductions and facility consolidations beginning in the second quarter of 2009. The 2009 restructuring charges
included $21.9 million for severance and related costs associated with 382 employees notified of termination
during 2009 and $0.8 million of charges related to excess facilities.

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

Foreign Currency Net Losses

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

Gain on Litigation Resolution

In October 2010, we resolved litigation brought against us by GE Japan. As a result of the resolution of this

matter, we recorded a one-time gain of $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The amount paid in the first
quarter of 2011 to resolve this matter was included in accrued litigation on our balance sheet as of September 30,
2010 and paid in the first quarter of 2011.

Interest Income

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

Interest Expense

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

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate has fluctuated significantly in each of the past three years. In 2010 and 2009

this was due primarily to the impact of discrete events, described further below, which created a one-time income
tax provision in 2010 and a one-time income tax benefit in 2009.

In 2011, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our

corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate and a $2.3
million tax benefit related to research and development (R&D) triggered by a retroactive extension of the R&D
tax credit enacted in the first quarter of 2011. Our 2011 tax provision reflects a $7.5 million provision related to a
research and development cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. A similar prepayment was
made in 2010 resulting in a $6.0 million provision in that year. As a result, the net increase to the 2011 provision
was $1.5 million.

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

In 2010, our effective income tax rate differed from the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily

to a one-time tax charge of $43.4 million recorded as a result of a business reorganization, partially offset by
foreign taxes at a net effective income tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we

29

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

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

to:

•

•

•

•

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

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2011, we have a remaining valuation allowance of $13.8 million against net deferred

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

As of September 30, 2011, our net deferred tax asset balance of $121.9 million primarily relates to our U.S.

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

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities,

including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. We regularly assess the likelihood of
additional assessments by tax authorities and provide for these matters as appropriate. We are currently under
audit by tax authorities in several foreign jurisdictions. Audits by tax authorities typically involve examination of
the deductibility of certain permanent items, limitations on net operating losses and tax credits. Although we
believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could
result in material changes in our estimates. In 2009, we closed the IRS examination of PTC’s U.S. federal tax

30

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

Our future effective income tax rate may be materially impacted by the amount of income taxes associated

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

Income and Margins; Earnings per Share

As shown in the table below, our operating income and operating margins in 2011 increased compared to

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

The non-GAAP measures exclude a fair value adjustment related to acquired MKS deferred maintenance

revenue, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related
charges, restructuring charges, in-process research and development expense, one-time gains or charges included
in non-operating other income (expense) and the related tax effects of the preceding items, and any one–time tax
items. These items are normally included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP. Our management excludes these items when evaluating our ongoing performance and/or predicting
our earnings trends, and therefore excludes these items when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.
Management uses, and investors should consider, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.

Fair value of acquired MKS deferred maintenance revenue is a purchase accounting adjustment recorded to

reduce acquired deferred maintenance revenue to the fair value of the remaining obligation.

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

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

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

31

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

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

The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results and

such items often recur. Accordingly, the non-GAAP measures included in this Annual Report should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP.

The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP measures to its most closely comparable GAAP

measure on our financial statements.

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

33

changes in the Canadian to U.S. Dollar exchange rate from the time we entered into the agreement in early
April to acquire MKS (the purchase price is in Canadian Dollars) and the closing date which occurred on
May 31, 2011. We realized foreign currency losses of $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 recorded as
other expense related to the acquisition of MKS. In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded $0.7 million of
foreign currency losses related to a litigation settlement in Japan.

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

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

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

•

•

•

•

•

•

revenue recognition;

accounting for income taxes;

valuation of assets and liabilities of business combinations;

valuation of goodwill;

accounting for pensions; and

legal contingencies.

A critical accounting policy is one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and

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

Accounting policies, guidelines and interpretations related to our critical accounting policies and estimates

are generally subject to numerous sources of authoritative guidance and are often reexamined by accounting

34

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

Revenue Recognition

We exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with determining the amounts of software license

and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period.

Our primary judgments involve the following:

•

•

•

•

determining whether collection is probable;

assessing whether the fee is fixed or determinable;

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

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

We derive revenues from three primary sources: (1) software licenses, (2) maintenance services and

(3) consulting and training services. Revenue by type for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

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

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

At the time of each sale transaction, we must make an assessment of the collectability of the amount due

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

35

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

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

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

Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when contracts are closely interrelated

and dependent on each other, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the
substance of the group of contracts.

For subscription-based licenses, license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. In

limited circumstances, where the right to use the software license is contingent upon current payments of
maintenance, fees for software license and maintenance are recognized ratably over the initial maintenance term.

36

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

Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenditures incurred in connection with providing consulting services

are included in services revenue, with the offsetting expense recorded in cost of service revenue.

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

training services are provided.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to calculate our

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

The income tax accounting process also involves estimating our actual current tax liability, together with

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

As of September 30, 2011, we have a remaining valuation allowance of $13.8 million against net deferred

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

As of September 30, 2011, our net deferred tax asset balance of $121.9 million primarily relates to our U.S.

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

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities,

including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. We regularly assess the likelihood of
additional assessments by tax authorities and provide for these matters as appropriate. We are currently under
audit by tax authorities in several foreign jurisdictions. Audits by tax authorities typically involve examination of

37

the deductibility of certain permanent items, limitations on net operating losses and tax credits. Although we
believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could
result in material changes in our estimates.

Valuation of Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations

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

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

•

•

•

•

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

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

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

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

In addition, we estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets based upon the expected period over which

we anticipate generating economic benefits from the related intangible asset.

Net tangible assets consist of the fair values of tangible assets less the fair values of assumed liabilities and

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

The values assigned to deferred revenue reflect an amount equivalent to the estimated cost plus an

appropriate profit margin to perform the services related to the acquired company’s software support contracts.

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

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

38

When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a finite-lived intangible asset

may not be recoverable, we perform an assessment of the asset for potential impairment. This assessment is
based on projected undiscounted future cash flows over the asset’s remaining life. If the carrying value of the
asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, we record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value
over the fair value of the asset, determined using projected discounted future cash flows of the asset.

Valuation of Goodwill

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

We assess the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis and whenever events or changes in

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

The goodwill impairment test prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to

identify reporting units and to determine estimates of the fair values of our reporting units as of the date we test
for impairment. Determining the fair value of our reporting units for the purpose of testing the potential
impairment of individual assets and goodwill requires significant judgment by management. Different judgments
could yield different results.

To conduct these tests of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If

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

Accounting for Pensions

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

39

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

Certain of our international subsidiaries also sponsor pension plans. Accounting and reporting for these

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

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

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

Legal Contingencies

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

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

2011 compared to 2010

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the

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

Accounts receivable was $230.2 million, $169.3 million and $166.6 million at September 30, 2011, 2010

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

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

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

respectively.

2010 compared to 2009

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

•

•

•

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

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

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

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

The increase in proceeds from issuance of common stock was due to higher stock option exercises in 2011

(1.9 million options) compared to 2010 (1.5 million options) and 2009 (0.6 million options). As of September 30,
2011, we had approximately 3.0 million stock options outstanding (including 0.1 million shares granted in
connection with our acquisition of MKS). These options expire on various dates through 2017, including
1.2 million in 2012, 0.8 million in 2013 and 0.9 million in 2014. We expect substantially all of the options,
including those held by our executives, to be exercised prior to their respective expiration dates.

Share Repurchase Authorization

Our Board of Directors has periodically authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock. Under our

current authorization they have authorized us to repurchase up to $100 million worth of shares with cash from
operations in the period October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. In 2011, we repurchased 2.6 million
shares at a cost of $54.9 million. In 2010 and 2009, we repurchased 3.7 million shares at a cost of $62.5 million
and 1.2 million shares at a cost of $14.2 million, respectively. All shares of our common stock repurchased are
automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued. Future repurchases of shares will reduce our cash
balances.

Credit Facility

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

42

In 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we borrowed $250 million under the credit facility, $50

million of which we repaid in the fourth quarter of 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we had $200 million
outstanding under the revolving credit facility. In October 2011, we borrowed an additional $40 million under the
revolving credit facility for short-term cash requirements, including the payment of fiscal 2011 incentive
compensation.

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

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

•

•

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

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

As of September 30, 2011, our leverage ratio was 0.85 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.08

to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of
September 30, 2011.

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

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

Expectations for Fiscal 2012

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be

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

We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, possible strategic transactions on an ongoing basis

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

At September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $79.0 million in Europe, $26.7 million in the

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

(1) The future minimum lease payments above include minimum future lease payments for excess facilities

under noncancellable operating leases, net of expected sublease income under existing sublease
arrangements. These leases qualify for operating lease accounting treatment and, as such, are not included
on our balance sheet. See Note I of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information
regarding our operating leases.

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

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

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Foreign currency exchange risk

Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

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

Our non-U.S. revenues generally are transacted through our non-U.S. subsidiaries and typically are

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

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from intercompany transactions,

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

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

Generally, we do not designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and

changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into
forward contracts only as an economic hedge, any gain or loss on the underlying foreign-denominated balance
would be offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign
denominated receivables and payables are included in foreign currency net losses.

45

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts

equivalent to the following:

$212,932

$148,813

Debt

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

Cash and cash equivalents

As of September 30, 2011, cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid investments with maturities of

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

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

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)

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

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the

participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2011.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial

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

•

•

•

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

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

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

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

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of

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

47

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011 has been audited

by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report,
which appears under Item 8.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) was incorporated in 1985 and is headquartered in Needham,
Massachusetts. PTC develops, markets and supports software solutions, primarily product lifecycle management
(PLM) and CAx solutions that help companies design products, manage product information and improve their
product development processes. Our software solutions provide our customers with an integral product
development system that enables them to create digital product content, collaborate with others in the product
development process, control product content, automate product development processes, configure products and
product content, and communicate product information to people and systems across the extended enterprise and
design chain. Our software solutions are complemented by our services and technical support organizations, as
well as third-party resellers and other strategic partners, who provide training, consulting, ancillary product
offerings, implementation and support to customers worldwide.

Basis of Presentation

Our fiscal year-end is September 30. The consolidated financial statements include Parametric Technology

Corporation, the parent company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including those operating outside the
U.S. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

We prepare our financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. that require

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and the related disclosures.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign Currency Translation

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

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenues from three primary sources: (1) software licenses, (2) maintenance services and

(3) consulting and training services. Revenue by type for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

License revenue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with determining the amounts of software license

and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period.

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

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

At the time of each sale transaction, we must make an assessment of the collectability of the amount due

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

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

F-7

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

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

Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when contracts are closely interrelated

and dependent on each other, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the
substance of the group of contracts.

For subscription-based licenses, license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. In

limited circumstances, where the right to use the software license is contingent upon current payments of
maintenance, fees for software license and maintenance are recognized ratably over the initial maintenance term.

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

Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenditures incurred in connection with providing consulting services

are included in services revenue, with the offsetting expense recorded in cost of service revenue.

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

training services are provided.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to software maintenance agreements billed to customers for which the

services have not yet been provided. The liability associated with performing these services is included in
deferred revenue and, if not yet paid, the related amount is included in other current assets. Billed but uncollected
maintenance-related amounts included in other current assets at September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $93.0 million
and $76.8 million, respectively. Deferred revenue consisted of the following:

Cash, Cash Equivalents

Our cash equivalents are invested in money market accounts and time deposits of financial institutions. We
have established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that are intended to maintain
safety and liquidity. Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturity periods of three months or
less when purchased.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable

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

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in

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

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

• Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted

prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

• Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to

the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,

2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our

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

Financing Receivables and Transfers of Financial Assets

We periodically provide financing for software purchases to credit-worthy customers with payment terms

up to 24 months. The determination on whether to offer such payment terms is based on the size, nature and
credit-worthiness of the customer, and the history of collecting amounts due, without concession, from the
customer. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, amounts due from customers for contracts with extended payment
terms (financing receivables) totaled $72.3 million and $44.3 million, respectively. Accounts receivable in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets include current receivables from such contracts totaling $55.2 million
and $27.2 million at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and other assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets include long-term receivables from such contracts totaling $17.1 million at both
September 30, 2011 and 2010. We evaluate estimated credit losses on financing receivables based on whether the
customers are making payments as they become due, customer credit-worthiness and economic conditions. We
write off uncollectible trade and financing receivables when we have exhausted all collection avenues. As of
September 30, 2011 and 2010, we concluded that all financing receivables were collectible and no reserve for
credit losses was recorded. We did not provide a reserve for credit losses or write off any uncollectible financing
receivables in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

We periodically transfer future payments under certain of these contracts to third-party financial institutions

on a non-recourse basis. We record such transfers as sales of the related accounts receivable when we surrender
control of such receivables. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, we sold $4.1 million, $31.6 million and $16.7 million,
respectively, of financing receivables to third-party financial institutions.

Derivatives

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

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from one or more underlying financial
instruments, such as foreign currency. We enter into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency
forward contracts, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that arise primarily from our
foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily denominated in European
currencies, typically have maturities of less than three months and require an exchange of foreign currencies for
U.S. dollars at maturity of the contracts at rates agreed to at inception of the contracts. We do not enter into or
hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Generally, we do not designate foreign currency forward
contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized
immediately in earnings. Because we enter into forward contracts only as an economic hedge, any gain or loss on
the underlying foreign-denominated balance would be offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract. Gains
and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in foreign
currency net losses.

$212,932

$148,813

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include a net asset of $5.5 million in other current assets as

of September 30, 2011, and a net liability of $2.0 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of
September 30, 2010 related to the fair value of our forward contracts.

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

In the third quarter of 2011, in connection with our planned acquisition of MKS, we entered into forward

contracts to purchase CDN$292 million (equivalent to approximately $305 million when we entered into the
contracts). We entered into these forward contracts to reduce our foreign currency exposure related to changes in
the Canadian to U.S. Dollar exchange rate from the time we entered into the agreement to acquire MKS (the
purchase price was in Canadian Dollars) and the expected closing date. In the third quarter of 2011, we settled
these contracts and recorded a net foreign currency loss of $4.4 million.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their

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

Software Development Costs

We incur costs to develop computer software to be licensed or otherwise marketed to customers. Research

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

F-11

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

Goodwill, Acquired Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of acquired net assets in a business acquisition exceeded the fair

values of net identifiable assets on the date of our purchase.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances

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

Long-lived assets primarily include property and equipment and acquired intangible assets with finite lives

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

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses incurred were $2.6 million,

$2.4 million and $2.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes. Certain items of income and expense

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

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which includes

foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in unrecognized actuarial gains and losses related to
pension benefits. For the purposes of comprehensive income disclosures, we do not record tax provisions or

F-12

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

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding

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

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

respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update

No. 2011-8, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Under the
amendment, an entity has the option, but is not required, to first assess qualitative factors (“Qualitative
Assessment” or QA”) to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less
than its carrying amount. If, after assessing facts and circumstances in the aggregate, an entity determines it does
not fail the QA, then performing the traditional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Otherwise, an entity is
required to proceed to the first step of the goodwill impairment test as outlined in ASC Topic 350.

F-13

The objective of the Update is to simplify the requirement to test goodwill for impairment and was issued in
response to preparer concerns about the cost and complexity of performing the first step of the two-step goodwill
impairment test. The Update can be applied for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.

C. Restructuring Charges

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

E. Acquisitions

In 2011, we completed the acquisitions of MKS and 4CS described below. The results of operations of these

acquired businesses have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective
acquisition dates. These acquisitions added $26.8 million to our 2011 revenue and $37.7 million of costs and
expenses including acquisition-related costs of $7.8 million and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3.7
million.

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

4CS

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS),

a U.S.-based privately-held company with approximately 200 employees, for $14.9 million in cash (net of $0.1
million of cash acquired). 4CS provided software solutions for warranty management and product support
processes. 4CS’s results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning
September 3, 2011. Our results of operations prior to this acquisition, if presented on a pro forma basis, would
not differ materially from our reported results.

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

goodwill of $9.5 million; intangible assets of $11.1 million (including customer relationships of $2.7 million,
purchased software of $8.0 million and trademarks of $0.4 million); and other net liabilities of $5.7 million.
Intangible assets are being amortized over average useful lives of 7 years, 10 years and 5 years, respectively,
based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related to such assets are expected to be realized. The
goodwill and intangible assets acquired are not deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, we recorded in
purchase accounting deferred tax liabilities of $4.2 million included in other net liabilities, equal to the tax effect
of the intangible assets other than goodwill. We have also recorded a liability for an additional $1.2 million of
contingent purchase price included in other net liabilities, the majority of which we expect to pay in the first
quarter of 2012. Any further adjustments that could lower the purchase price in accordance with contingent
provisions in the acquisition agreement are not anticipated to be material.

MKS

On May 31, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of MKS Inc. (MKS), a publicly held

company based in Ontario, Canada, for CDN $26.20 per share. MKS had revenues of $79 million and $63
million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. MKS’s revenue for 2011 included a
particularly large transaction. We acquired MKS to expand our product offerings by adding MKS’s application
lifecycle management (ALM) software used in developing software intensive products to our existing software
solutions. We believe that the unification of MKS’s ALM solutions with PTC’s product lifecycle management
solutions will enable manufacturers to better align the development and management of a product’s hardware and
software components.

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

The acquisition of MKS has been accounted for as a business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities

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

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

The purchase price allocation resulted in $189.8 million of goodwill, the majority of which will not be

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

F-16

MKS’s results of operations have been included in PTC’s consolidated financial statements beginning
May 31, 2011. The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of
operations of PTC and MKS, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the
beginning of PTC’s fiscal year 2010. The pro forma information for all periods presented also includes the
effects of business combination accounting resulting from the acquisition, including amortization charges from
acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation charges for unvested stock options, interest expense on
borrowings in connection with the acquisition, and the related tax effects as though the acquisition had been
consummated as of the beginning of 2010. These pro forma results exclude the impact of the purchase
accounting adjustment to deferred revenue and the transaction costs included in the historical results and the
related tax effects. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved if the acquisition had
taken place at the beginning of 2010. For the year ended September 30, 2011, the pro forma financial information
is based on PTC’s results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2011, which includes MKS’s results
beginning May 31, 2011, combined with MKS’s results of operations for the eight months ended May 30, 2011.
For the year ended September 30, 2010 , the pro forma financial information is based on PTC’s results of
operations for the year ended September 30, 2010, combined with MKS’s results of operations for the twelve
months ended October 31, 2010 (due to differences in reporting periods).

Relex

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

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

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

Synapsis

In 2009, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Synapsis Technology, Inc., a provider of

environmental regulatory compliance solutions, for $7.5 million in cash. Synapsis was a privately-held U.S.-
based company with approximately 20 employees. The results of the Synapsis business have been included in our

F-17

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

The Synapsis acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price allocation

resulted in goodwill of $2.0 million; intangible assets of $4.9 million (including purchased software of $2.4
million and customer relationships of $2.5 million, which are being amortized over estimated useful lives of 7
and 8 years, respectively); and other net assets of $0.5 million. Substantially all of the goodwill and intangible
assets acquired are deductible for income tax purposes.

F. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

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

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets consisted of the following:

years, respectively.

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

18% 70% (84)%

In 2011, our effective tax rate was lower than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to our

corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate and a $2.3
million tax benefit related to research and development (R&D) triggered by a retroactive extension of the R&D
tax credit enacted in the first quarter of 2011. Our 2011 tax provision reflects a $7.5 million provision related to a
research and development cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. A similar prepayment was
made in 2010 resulting in a $6.0 million provision in that year. As a result, the net increase to the 2011 provision
was $1.5 million. This impact is included in foreign rate differences in our effective tax rate reconciliation above.
Also included in foreign rate differences is the effect of permanent items in foreign jurisdictions and the current
year deferred charge associated with intercompany transactions.

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

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we completed a reorganization of our legal entity structure to support our

tax and cash planning. The objective of this reorganization was to enable significant re-deployment and

F-20

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

Significant items impacting the tax provision in 2009 include a $7.6 million one-time tax benefit in

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

In the first quarter of 2009, we completed a realignment of our European business which, in part, resulted in

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

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, income taxes payable and income tax accruals recorded in accrued

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

$121,856

$103,487

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

For U.S. tax return purposes, net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) and tax credits are generally available

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

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

F-22

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

We also have loss carryforwards in non-U.S. jurisdictions totaling $112.1 million, the majority of which do

not expire. There are limitations imposed on the utilization of such NOLs that could further restrict the
recognition of any tax benefits.

As of September 30, 2011, we have a valuation allowance of $13.8 million against net deferred tax assets in

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

Significant management judgment is required to determine whether the future realization of our net deferred

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

As of September 30, 2011, our net deferred tax asset balance of $121.9 million primarily relates to our U.S.

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

The changes to the valuation allowance were primarily due to:

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

F-23

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

Our policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a

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

As of September 30, 2011, we had an unrecognized tax benefit of $16.2 million ($15.9 million net of tax

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

In 2009, we closed the IRS examination of PTC’s U.S. federal tax years 2005 through 2007. The completion

of the examination resulted in a decrease of unrecognized tax benefits of $9.4 million and a net benefit of
$0.3 million to the tax provision. Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination
of tax audits and any related litigation could result in favorable or unfavorable changes in our estimates. We
anticipate the settlement of tax audits may be finalized within the next twelve months and could result in a
decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits of up to $4 million.

In the normal course of business, PTC and its subsidiaries are examined by various taxing authorities,

including the IRS in the United States. As of September 30, 2011, we remained subject to examination in the
following major tax jurisdictions for the tax years indicated:

We incurred expenses related to stock-based compensation in 2011, 2010 and 2009 of $45.4 million, $48.9

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

F-24

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

In the fourth quarter of 2010, in conjunction with the subsidiary reorganization completed in 2010 and a

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

H. Long Term Debt

Revolving Credit Agreement

We have a multi-currency bank revolving credit facility (the credit facility) with a syndicate of ten banks for
which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Administrative Agent. In September 2011, we re-negotiated the terms
of the credit facility with our existing lenders including a two year extension of the agreement and more
favorable interest and covenant terms. The terms of the amended facility are included herein. The credit facility
now matures on September 30, 2016, when all amounts will be due and payable in full. The credit facility does
not require amortization of principal and may be paid before maturity in whole or in part at PTC’s option without
penalty or premium. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of
other businesses, and may also use it for working capital.

The credit facility consists of a $300 million revolving credit facility, which may be increased by up to an

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

In May 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we borrowed $250 million under the credit
facility at a variable interest rate which resets every 30 to 180 days, depending on the rate and period selected. As
of September 30, 2011, the annual rate is 1.6875%, which will reset to then current rates as defined below on
November 22, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we had $200 million outstanding under the credit facility. We
did not have any borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at September 30, 2010.

Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility range from 1.25% to 1.625% above an

adjusted LIBO rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or would range from 0.25% to 0.625% above the defined
base rate (the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus .005%, or an adjusted LIBO rate
plus 1%) for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon PTC’s leverage ratio. Additionally, PTC may borrow
certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest

F-25

rates for those currencies, based on PTC’s leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of
the credit facility is required, ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum, based upon PTC’s leverage ratio.

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

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

•

•

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

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

As of September 30, 2011, our leverage ratio was 0.85 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.08

to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of
September 30, 2011.

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

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

In 2011, 2010 and 2009, we paid $1.5 million, $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of interest on our

revolving credit facility. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding during 2011, 2010 and 2009 and
was approximately 2.1%, 1.6% and 3.2%, respectively.

I. Commitments and Contingencies

Leasing Arrangements

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

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

As a result of restructuring initiatives in current and prior years, certain leased facilities are excess to our

needs and are not occupied by us. The future minimum lease payments above include minimum future lease
payments for excess facilities, net of sublease income under existing sublease arrangements. Our total future
rental income under current sublease arrangements for excess facilities as of September 30, 2011 was
$1.5 million.

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of

approximately $3.8 million (of which $1.1 million was collateralized) and $4.7 million (of which $1.0 million
was collateralized), respectively, primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease.

Legal Proceedings

We had been defending two separate lawsuits filed by GE Japan Corporation (formerly GE Capital Leasing

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

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. With
respect to such proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a
liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We currently believe that
resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any of these
legal matters be resolved against us, the operating results for a particular reporting period could be adversely
affected.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

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

We warrant that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard

published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products for a specified period of time
(generally 90 to 180 days). Additionally, we generally warrant that our consulting services will be performed

F-27

consistent with generally accepted industry standards. In most cases, liability for these warranties is capped. If
necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty
claims and claim history; however, we have never incurred significant cost under our product or services
warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

J. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

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

Common Stock

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

of Directors has periodically authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock. Under our current
authorization, approved by our Board of Directors in September 2011, we are authorized to repurchase up to
$100 million worth of shares with cash from operations in the period October 1, 2011 through September 30,
2012. In 2011, we repurchased 2.6 million shares at a cost of $54.9 million. In 2010 and 2009, we repurchased
3.7 million shares at a cost of $62.5 million and 1.2 million shares at a cost of $14.2 million, respectively. All
shares of our common stock repurchased are automatically restored to the status of authorized and unissued.
Future repurchases of shares will reduce our cash balances.

K. Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) provides for grants of nonqualified and incentive stock options,

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

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

L. Employee Benefit Plan

We offer a savings plan to eligible U.S. employees. The plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of

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

M. Pension Plans

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

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

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

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

In selecting the expected long-term rate of return on assets, we considered the current investment portfolio

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

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

The actuarially computed components of net periodic pension cost recognized in our consolidated

statements of operations for each year are shown below:

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

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

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

Based on actuarial valuations and additional voluntary contributions, we contributed $2.2 million,

$9.2 million, and $6.9 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to the plans. We expect to make
contributions totaling approximately $7.5 million in 2012.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

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

N. Segment Information

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

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

(1) We recorded restructuring and in-process research and development charges of $23.0 million in 2009.
Software Products included $4.1 million; Services included $3.4 million; sales and marketing expenses
included $11.5 million; and general and administrative expenses included $4.0 million, of the total
restructuring and in-process research and development charges recorded in 2009.
In the first quarter of 2011, we made a strategic decision to enter into a contract with a customer in the
automotive industry, for which we expect our costs to exceed our revenue by approximately $5 million.
Services segment operating income in 2011 includes immediate recognition of the approximately $5 million
estimated loss on this contract and resulted in a reduction of service margins by approximately 2%.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

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

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

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

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