PART I


ITEM 1.	Business

Overview

Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) develops software solutions and delivers related services that help companies design products, manage product information and improve their product development and services processes. Our software solutions help customers increase innovation, improve product quality, decrease time to market, reduce product development costs, and optimize their supply chains and the delivery of after-market services.

We offer solutions in the following markets:


•	the product lifecycle management (PLM) market (product data management, collaboration and related solutions),


•	the CAD market (computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD, CAM and CAE) solutions),


•	the application lifecycle management (ALM) market (coordination and management of all aspects of global software development),


•	the supply chain management (SCM) market (management and optimization of the supply chain), and


•	the service lifecycle management (SLM) market (delivery and capture of product intelligence at the point of service).

Our software solutions provide our customers with a product development and services delivery system that enables them to create and control digital product content, automate and collaborate with others in the product development process, configure products and product content, and communicate product information to people and systems across the extended enterprise, design and supply chains and at the point of after-market services delivery.

We acquired Servigistics, Inc. in October 2012 to expand our offerings in the SLM market. Servigistics developed and sold an innovative suite of SLM solutions that supplements PTC's existing SLM solutions to provide our customers with a broad technological solution to transform their service strategies and operations.

We generate revenue through the sale of:


•	software licenses,


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


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

The markets we serve present different growth opportunities for us. We believe the markets for PLM, ALM, SCM and SLM solutions present the greatest opportunities for revenue growth and that revenue from these markets will constitute an increasingly greater proportion of our revenue over time. We believe that the market for our CAD solutions among small- and medium-size businesses also provides an opportunity for growth. Conversely, the market for our CAD solutions among large businesses is highly penetrated and presents a lower growth opportunity for us. However, we believe that our PTC Creo® product suite, version 2.0 of which was released in Spring 2012, has created an opportunity for us in this market.

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

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 PTC Windchill^®, PTC Arbortext^® enterprise products and PTC Creo View^TM (formerly ProductView^®)) and PTC Integrity^™. Desktop revenue includes our CAD Solutions: PTC Creo, including

Table of Contents

PTC Creo Parametric^TM (formerly Pro/ENGINEER^®) and PTC Creo Elements/Direct^®(formerly CoCreate^®), PTC Arbortext authoring products, and PTC 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 address common challenges that companies, particularly manufacturing companies, face in their product development and service processes. These include 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.

PTC 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.

PTC Arbortext^® Enterprise Solutions enable our customers to manage complex information assets that enhance their customer support and service center information delivery processes. These solutions are optimized for managing XML-based structured content and 2D and 3D technical illustrations created using our PTC Arbortext authoring products. They 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 PTC 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 PTC Arbortext capabilities for creating technical information. Targeted for the service lifecycle management (SLM) market, these solutions 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 previously released PTC Windchill and PTC Creo software. 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 2011 with our acquisition of 4C Solutions, Inc.

PTC Creo View™ (formerly ProductView™) solutions enable enterprise-wide visualization, verification, annotation and automated comparison of a wide variety of product development data formats, including CAD (2D and 3D), ECAD, and documents. These solutions provide lightweight access to product designs and related data without requiring the original authoring tool.

PTC 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 PTC 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 PTC Creo software suite (excluding PTC Creo View), our PTC Mathcad^® engineering calculations software and our PTC Arbortext document authoring tools.

We launched the PTC Creo product suite in June 2011. PTC Creo was developed to remedy problems of usability, interoperability, assembly management and technology bias that were not being well addressed by mechanical CAD tools. Leveraging PTC's unique technology assets, 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. PTC Creo offers upwards compatibility with other PTC products. In addition to the capabilities of PTC Creo Parametric (described below), the Creo suite includes standalone applications that deliver new capabilities for 2D and 3D CAD modeling, analysis and visualization. PTC Creo also enables data to be easily shared between teams both internally and externally.

Table of Contents

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

PTC Creo Parametric (formerly Pro/ENGINEER^®) is a suite 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 PTC 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. This allows them to create more innovative, differentiated and functional products quickly and easily. PTC 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.

PTC Creo Elements/Direct (formerly CoCreate^®) is a suite of explicit CAD and collaboration software that enables customers pursuing a lightweight and flexible design strategy to meet short design cycles. The explicit modeling approach of PTC Creo Elements/Direct 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. PTC Creo Elements/Direct enables users to reduce design cycle time, improve workgroup collaboration through an integrated data management system and reduce product development costs.

PTC 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. PTC Mathcad allows customers to develop and document the engineering calculations related to their designs and predict the behavior of a PTC Creo model, which can then be validated using our PTC 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 PTC Windchill solutions, the valuable intellectual property captured in PTC Mathcad can be managed and shared securely with others for reuse and for regulatory compliance.

PTC Arbortext authoring products PTC Arbortext Editor™ and PTC 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 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” in this Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Research and Development

We invest heavily in research and development 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 $215.0 million in 2012, $211.4 million in 2011 and $201.6 million in 2010. 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

Table of Contents

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 in the product development market, including the product lifecycle management (PLM), application lifecycle management (ALM) and CAD (computer aided design, manufacturing and engineering) markets, the supply chain management (SCM) market and the service lifecycle management (SLM) market. We compete with a number of companies that offer solutions that address one or more specific functional areas covered by our solutions, including Dassault Systèmes SA and Siemens AG for traditional CAD solutions, PLM solutions, manufacturing planning solutions and visualization and digital mock-up solutions; Oracle Corporation and SAP AG for PLM solutions, SCM solutions and SLM solutions; and IBM Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company 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 CAD 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, 2012, we had 5,897 employees, including 1,938 in product development; 1,860 in customer support, training and consulting; 1,508 in sales and marketing; and 591 in general and administration and product distribution. Of these employees, 2,119 were located in the United States and 3,778 were located outside the United States.

ITEM 1A.	Risk Factors

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

I. Operational Considerations

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

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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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

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

The past four 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 products and services. Although revenue increased year over year in each of 2010, 2011 and 2012, the economic environment remains uncertain. If the economic environment does not improve or deteriorates, our business may be unfavorably impacted.

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. We are seeing a decline in manufacturing activity in China and other geographic regions and corresponding decreases in spending by customers, which we expect will adversely affect our revenue until conditions improve.

We face significant competition, which may reduce our profits and limit or reduce our market share.

The market for product development solutions is rapidly changing and very competitive. This competition 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, SLM, SCM, CAD and/or ALM 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

Table of Contents


•	other vendors of various CAD, PLM, SLM and SCM point solutions.

The CAD 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 PTC Creo solutions in 2011 and renewed demand for CAD products which had been soft in 2009 and 2010, demand for PTC Creo may decline as customers complete purchases of PTC Creo sufficient for their operations.

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.

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.

Table of Contents

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 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 38%, Europe for 38% and Asia-Pacific for 24% of our revenue in 2012. 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. For example, we are currently investigating payments and expenses by certain business partners and employees in China that raise questions of compliance with laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and/or compliance with our business policies.

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. 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 to the levels we expect or may decrease, which could adversely impact our stock price.

Table of Contents

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.

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 sale of new licenses, is adversely affected by economic or other factors, our maintenance revenue growth and profitability will be adversely affected.

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

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

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


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


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


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


•	changes to the financial accounting rules for income taxes;


•	unanticipated changes in tax rates; and


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

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

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

II. Other Considerations

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

We have been investigating payments and expenses by certain business partners and 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 replacements for those employees and business partners are in place and productive. Revenue from China has historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue. We have voluntarily disclosed the results of our investigation and associated remedial actions to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission and are continuing to provide additional information as requested by those agencies with respect to this matter. Resolution of this matter could include fines or other sanctions but we are unable to estimate an amount, if any.

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.

Our credit facility, which consists of a $150 million term loan and a $300 million revolving loan (with an accordion feature that allows us to borrow up to an additional $150 million if the existing or additional lenders agree), matures on August 16, 2017, at which time any amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. As of September 30, 2012, we had $370 million outstanding under the credit facility, primarily related to our acquisition of MKS in the third quarter of 2011 and Servigistics in October 2012. 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 118 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 1,333,000 square feet of leased facilities used in operations, approximately 572,000 square feet are located in the U.S., including 329,000 square feet of our headquarters facility located in Needham, Massachusetts, and approximately 183,000 square feet are located in India, where a significant amount of our research and development is conducted. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our present and foreseeable needs.


ITEM 3.	Legal Proceedings

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

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

We achieved our non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP operating margin targets for 2012 on lighter than expected revenue. Our 2012 non-GAAP earnings per share grew 20% to $1.51 per share and our non-GAAP operating margin was 19.6%, up 190 basis points year over year (up 210 basis points on a constant currency basis). Non-GAAP revenue was $1,258 million, up 8% year over year (up 10% on a constant currency basis). On an organic basis (excluding revenue for both 2011 and 2012 from our MKS and 4CS businesses acquired in the second half of 2011) revenue increased 3% (5% on a constant currency basis). Our 2012 GAAP earnings per share and operating margin results were affected by the recording of a valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets, which resulted in a non-cash income tax charge of $124 million, and restructuring charges of $25 million, resulting in a loss per share of $0.30 and operating margin of 10.2%, up 20 basis points year over year (up 50 basis points on a constant currency basis). GAAP revenue was $1,256 million, up 8% year over year (up 10% on a constant currency basis). Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to GAAP results under Results of Operations - Income and Margins; Earnings Per Share below.

Our revenue results were negatively impacted by uncertainty in the global economy and currency, particularly the Euro. We believe that global economic concerns have impacted customer purchasing decisions, causing customers to reduce the size of their purchases and/or to delay purchase decisions. License revenue was more adversely affected by this trend than were maintenance and service revenues. Total license revenue for 2012 was $348 million, an increase of 2% year over year (up 4% on a constant currency basis). On an organic basis, total license revenue for 2012 was down 3% year-over-year (down 1% on a constant currency basis).

Our maintenance and services businesses performed well in 2012, despite the lower than anticipated license revenue. We have more than 1.7 million software seats under maintenance as of the end of 2012, up 13% from the end of 2011, and our services business improved its profitability. Throughout 2012 we remained committed to meeting our earnings targets through diligent headcount and expense management. We ended 2012 with 5,897 employees, a 4% decline from the end of 2011, due primarily to headcount reductions associated with restructuring actions completed in the second and third quarters of 2012 and

Table of Contents

the completion of our integration of our MKS and 4CS acquisitions. Our operating margin and earnings per share improvements were partially offset by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which unfavorably impacted 2012 non-GAAP and GAAP operating margin by approximately $7 million and $6 million, respectively.

We ended 2012 with $490 million of cash and $370 million of debt, up from $168 million of cash and $200 million of debt at September 30, 2011, reflecting $230 million in proceeds drawn from our credit facility to finance the Servigistics acquisition, which we completed on October 2, 2012. Operating cash flows were $218 million in 2012 and we used $35 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in 2012.

Future Expectations, Strategies and Risks

For 2013, our goal is to achieve revenue growth of 8% to 10% (which includes revenue from Servigistics) including license revenue growth of 6% to 9%, maintenance revenue growth of approximately 7%, and consulting and training service revenue growth of 12% to 15%, and non-GAAP operating margin expansion of 200 basis points, from 19.6% in 2012 to approximately 21.5% in 2013 (expansion of GAAP operating margins from 10.2% in 2012 to approximately 12% in 2013). If foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar differ significantly from our current assumed rates or if economic conditions deteriorate, our results could differ materially from our plans. Our current plan assumes a $1.30 USD to Euro rate.

We expect to record a restructuring charge of approximately $16 million in the first quarter of 2013, primarily for severance and related costs associated with approximately 170 employees notified of termination during the first quarter (representing approximately 3% of our total workforce, which total workforce includes approximately 400 employees from Servigistics). We expect this restructuring will reduce our costs by approximately $5 million per quarter in 2013. While we expect the restructuring to be implemented in the first quarter of 2013, the full impact of the expense reductions will not be realized until the second quarter of 2013. Estimated cost savings of this restructuring are included in the 2013 financial targets above.

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

Impact of an Investigation in China

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 expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, one-time gains or charges included in non-operating other income (expense) and the related tax effects of the preceding items, as well as the tax items identified. Excluding those expenses and items provides investors another view of our operating results that 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 Results of Operations - Income and Margins; Earnings per Share below.

Costs and expenses in 2012 included $24.9 million of restructuring charges and $3.8 million of acquisition-related costs compared to $7.8 million of acquisition-related costs in 2011. These restructuring and acquisition-related costs have been excluded from non-GAAP operating income. In the first quarter of 2011, we entered into a strategic contract with an automotive customer for which we expected costs to exceed revenue by approximately $5 million. This loss was recorded in the first quarter of 2011 and resulted in a decrease in GAAP and non-GAAP operating income of approximately $5 million in 2011 compared to both 2012 and 2010.

(2)

The GAAP loss per share in 2012 includes a non-cash net tax charge of $124.5 million recorded in the fourth quarter to establish a valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets; and the following additional items: $5.4 million, net primarily related to foreign tax credits which would be fully realized on a non-GAAP basis; $3.3 million primarily related to acquired legal entity integration activities; and $1.4 million related to the impact from a reduction in the statutory tax rate in Japan on deferred tax assets from a litigation settlement. GAAP earnings per share in 2011 includes foreign currency losses of $4.4 million related to our acquisition of MKS; $0.7 million of foreign currency losses related to a litigation settlement; and a one-time non-cash tax provision of $1.9 million in connection with a legal entity reorganization. GAAP earnings per share in 2010 includes a gain of $9.0 million resulting from a litigation settlement and a one-time non-cash tax provision of $43.4 million in connection with a legal entity reorganization. The items above have been excluded from non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for each respective period.


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

2012 compared to 2011

Revenue in 2012 grew 8% (10% on a constant currency basis) and license revenue grew 2% (4% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2011. On an organic basis, excluding the 2012 and 2011 revenue from our 2011 MKS and 4CS acquisitions, our total revenue grew 3% (5% on a constant currency basis) and our license revenue declined 3% in 2012 compared to 2011. For 2012, our large deal activity (license and consulting and training service revenue of more than $1 million recognized from a single customer in a quarter) was approximately flat year over year with a lower mix of license revenue in 2012, which we attribute to the uncertain economy and unfavorable currency movements in 2012 as compared to 2011. Our Enterprise maintenance and consulting services business continued to be strong on both a reported and organic basis.

Our Desktop license revenue and Desktop total revenue declined 10% and 3%, respectively, in 2012 compared to 2011, attributable to a decrease in the dollar amount of large deals with direct customers. Our Desktop license revenue in 2011 benefited from our launch of PTC Creo and renewed demand for CAD products which had been soft in 2009 and 2010. Our Enterprise license revenue and Enterprise total revenue grew 17% and 20%, respectively, in 2012 compared to 2011. Excluding the impact of MKS and 4CS, Enterprise license revenue was up 7% and Enterprise total revenue was up 10%. In the small- and

Table of Contents

medium-size business market, we saw continued demand, with indirect license revenue and indirect total revenue both up 8% in 2012 compared to 2011.

Costs and expenses in 2012, compared to 2011, were impacted by a number of factors, including the impact of foreign currency, the full year impact of our MKS and 4CS acquisitions acquired in the second half of 2011, restructuring charges, investments in our direct sales force, and a company-wide merit pay increase. These items are described in more detail in Costs and Expenses below.

Our GAAP and non-GAAP operating income increased in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to increased revenue and operating scale improvements, particularly in our services business margins and in research and development. During 2012, we also made investments in our sales capacity to capitalize on long-term growth opportunities. While non-GAAP operating income increased significantly in 2012 compared to 2011, GAAP operating income improvements were partially offset by restructuring charges recorded in 2012. GAAP earnings per share was a loss of $0.30 in 2012 compared to earnings of $0.71 in 2011 due primarily to the recording of a valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets, which resulted in a non-cash income tax charge of $124.5 million, and restructuring charges of $25 million. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew 20% to $1.51 in 2012 compared to 2011 due primarily to operating improvements.

Cash flow from operating activities was $218.0 million in 2012, compared with $78.7 million in 2011. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2012 compared to 2011 was due primarily to the resolution of a litigation matter in 2011, which reduced our cash balance by approximately $48 million in the first quarter of 2011, increased profitability in 2012, and the timing of cash collections on accounts receivable in 2012. Accounts receivable was $217.4 million and $230.2 million at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

2011 compared to 2010

Revenue in 2011 grew 16% (12% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2010. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, total revenue was $1,140.1 million, up 13%, and 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. Enterprise maintenance and consulting services revenue increased in 2011 following a strong Enterprise license revenue year in 2010. Additionally, the launch of PTC Creo and renewed demand after depressed spending in 2009 and 2010 positively impacted Desktop license revenue and maintenance revenue as customers expanded their adoption and renewed seats under maintenance, and new customers, particularly in the small- and medium-size business space, purchased PTC Creo.

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. License and/or consulting and training service revenue of $1 million or more recognized from individual customers in a quarter during 2011 totaled $270.3 million compared with $208.5 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 (following 73% growth from 2009 to 2010), 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, indirect license revenue and total indirect revenue were up 23% and 12%, respectively, in 2011 compared to 2010.

Costs and expenses in 2011 increased 12%, compared to 2010, and 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 Costs 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. 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 tax items described in footnote 2 in the table above. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew 26% in 2011 compared to 2010.

Table of Contents

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.

Results of Operations

Acquisitions

We acquired MKS, a global application lifecycle management (ALM) technology leader, on May 31, 2011. We acquired 4C Solutions, Inc. (4CS), a developer of warranty management and service lifecycle management (SLM) software in September 2011.

The results of operations of these businesses have been included in PTC’s consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions added $81.5 million to our 2012 revenue ($84.0 million on a non-GAAP basis) compared to $26.8 million to our 2011 revenue ($29.4 million on a non-GAAP basis). 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. Changes in currency exchange rates in 2012 compared to 2011, particularly for the Euro, reduced both revenue and expenses. Conversely, in 2011 and 2010, our revenue and expenses increased 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, 2012 revenue and expenses would have been higher by $25.2 million and $19.2 million, respectively, 2011 and 2010 revenue would have been lower by $36.8 million and $15.5 million, respectively, and 2011 and 2010 expenses would have been lower by $21.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively. The net impact on year-over-year results would have been an increase in operating income of $6.0 million in 2012 and a decrease in operating income of $15.8 million and $4.0 million in 2011 and 2010, 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 (from providing our customers software updates and technical support) as well as consulting and training revenue (including implementation services).

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

2012 compared to 2011

License revenue of $348.4 million in 2012 increased $6.3 million from 2011, primarily due to a $15.8 million increase in license revenue from our MKS and 4CS businesses acquired in the second half of 2011 ($26.2 million in 2012 and $10.4 million in 2011) partially offset by unfavorable currency movements. From a geographic standpoint, license revenue increases in the Pacific Rim of 22% ($14.0 million) and Japan of 5% ($1.4 million) were partially offset by a decrease in Europe of 7% ($8.4 million). Americas license revenue was flat in 2012 compared to 2011.

Enterprise license revenue (primarily PLM license sales), while negatively impacted by our performance in Europe, grew 17% ($25.9 million) in 2012 compared to 2011 due to the increased license revenue contribution from MKS and 4CS and sales of PTC Windchill, which were 19% ($18.3 million) higher. Desktop license revenue (primarily PTC Creo license sales) declined 10% in 2012 compared to 2011 due to a decline in PTC Creo license sales in 2012 after the strong year in 2011.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced license revenue by $6.5 million in 2012 compared to 2011.

2011 compared to 2010

The increase in overall license revenue in 2011 compared to 2010 was due primarily to growth in direct Desktop revenue from sales to our large commercial customers. Additionally, license revenue from small- and medium-size customers increased, with increases in both indirect Desktop and Enterprise license revenue. We attribute the increase in Desktop license sales to the launch of PTC Creo in 2011 and a rebound in demand for CAD products after reduced customer spending in 2009 and 2010, which resulted in orders from our existing customer base and an increase in sales to new customers in our reseller channel.

MKS, which was acquired in May 2011, contributed $10.4 million to Enterprise license revenue in 2011. Excluding MKS, Enterprise license revenue in 2011 was down 7% year over year, reflecting declines in the first half of 2011. We saw 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 reflected decreases in revenue from sales of PTC Windchill, which were 19% ($22.6 million) lower in 2011 compared to 2010. Some of this decline was due to the fact that 2010 was a particularly strong comparison period that included several large PTC Windchill transactions (with 73% growth in Enterprise license revenue in 2010 compared to 2009). In addition, we believe that one of the primary factors that adversely impacted the Enterprise license revenue performance in 2011 was that increased Desktop revenue opportunities occupied a greater proportion of our sales capacity, with a corresponding decrease in focus on Enterprise sales. As a result, we began expanding our sales capacity in the second half of 2011 to ensure sufficient capacity for a breadth of opportunities.

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

Consulting and Training Revenue

Table of Contents

Consulting and training services engagements typically result from sales of new licenses, particularly of our Enterprise solutions. Consulting revenue is primarily related to PTC Windchill implementations among our direct Enterprise customers. Training revenue typically represents about 15% of our total consulting and training services revenue.

2012 compared to 2011

Increased Enterprise license sales in 2012 had a favorable impact on services revenue. In 2012, compared to 2011, consulting revenue was up 11% ($24.9 million) and training revenue was up 9% ($3.3 million). MKS and 4CS contributed $18.1 million to Enterprise consulting and training service revenue in 2012 and $6.3 million in 2011. Excluding MKS and 4CS, consulting and training service revenue increased 6% ($16.4 million) in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced consulting and training services revenue by $6.8 million in 2012 compared to 2011.

2011 compared to 2010

Strong Enterprise license sales in 2010 had a favorable impact on services revenue in 2011. In 2011, compared to 2010, consulting revenue was up 23% ($42.9 million) and training 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 increased consulting and training services revenue by $8.3 million in 2011 compared to 2010.

Maintenance Revenue

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

2012 compared to 2011

We realized steady growth in maintenance revenue throughout 2012 and 2011. In 2012, compared to 2011, Desktop maintenance revenue was up 2% ($7.5 million) and Enterprise maintenance revenue was up 28% ($46.8 million). MKS and 4CS contributed $37.2 million to Enterprise maintenance revenue in 2012 and $10.2 million in 2011. Excluding MKS and 4CS, maintenance revenue increased 5% ($27.2 million) in 2012 as compared to 2011. PTC Creo and PTC Windchill seats under maintenance increased 3% and 18%, respectively, as of the end of 2012, compared to the end of 2011.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced maintenance revenue by $11.8 million in 2012 compared to 2011.

2011 compared to 2010

We saw steady growth in maintenance revenue in 2011, particularly in the second half of the year. Desktop maintenance revenue increased in 2011 as a result of an increase in spending after two years of depressed spending and the launch of PTC Creo in 2011. Enterprise maintenance revenue in 2011 benefited 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. PTC Creo and PTC 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 increased maintenance revenue by $17.2 million in 2011 compared to 2010.

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 typically comprises approximately 70% of our total revenue. To address market demand, we significantly expanded the number of sales personnel in the second half of 2011 and first half of 2012.

Table of Contents

Indirect

Our resellers are focused primarily on selling our Desktop products, PTC Creo and PTC Mathcad, and PTC Windchill PDMLink^®.Our indirect revenue typically comprises approximately 30% of our total revenue. Total indirect revenue grew 8% ($23.9 million) in 2012 compared to 2011 and 12% ($32.9 million) in 2011 compared to 2010. The indirect revenue growth in 2012 was primarily from our Enterprise products which grew 36% ($20.4 million). MKS and 4CS contributed $15.1 million and $2.7 million to indirect Enterprise revenue in 2012 and 2011, respectively. During this period we have seen an increase in the number of new customers served by our channel partners, with the revenue growth in 2011 primarily from our Desktop products, which grew 11% ($24.9 million).

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 such large transactions, and the number of such transactions, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on customer purchasing decisions, the completion of large services engagements commenced in previous quarters and macroeconomic conditions. In the first quarter of 2012, we instituted changes to our internal customer reporting metrics. The historical information in the table below has been restated to conform to the current customer definitions.

Revenue from large customers in 2012 compared to 2011 reflects continued growth in Enterprise consulting projects, a slight decline in Enterprise license revenue, and a decline in Desktop license revenue resulting in a lower overall mix of license revenue. The license revenue portion of this metric, which typically comprises 50% to 60% of the total, was 44% in 2012 compared to 52% in 2011 and 58% in 2010. The 2012 decline in Desktop license revenue is due to a particularly strong comparison period in 2011 due in part to our launch of PTC Creo in 2011. Revenue from large customers in 2011 compared to 2010 reflects increased revenue from Desktop licenses (mainly PTC Creo) and Enterprise services, partially offset by lower sales of Enterprise licenses.

(1)	On a consistent foreign currency basis from the prior period, total costs and expenses increased 9% from 2011 to 2012 and increased 10% from 2010 to 2011.

2012 compared to 2011

Costs and expenses in 2012 compared to 2011 increased primarily as a result of the following:


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


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


•	investments in our direct sales force;


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


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

These cost increases were offset by lower acquisition-related costs (included in general and administrative), which were $3.8 million in 2012 compared to $7.8 million in 2011.

2011 compared to 2010

Costs and expenses in 2011 compared to 2010 increased primarily 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 salary 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 PTC 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.

Table of Contents

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 royalties, and the level of amortization of acquired software intangible assets. Amortization of acquired purchased software totaled $15.8 million, $15.4 million and $18.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Service headcount at end of period	1,860			(5	)%	1,957			30	%	1,508

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 67%, 68% and 70% of total service revenue in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our services segment, which is primarily consulting and training services revenue but also includes revenue from our computer-based training products, achieved margins of 13%, 8% and 8% in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note N Segment Information in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Annual Report for segment financial results).

In 2012, compared to 2011, total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were 9% ($18.4 million) higher primarily due to higher average headcount year over year and the impact of annual salary increases. Cost of service headcount increased at the end of 2011 by approximately 450 employees compared to the year-ago period including approximately 210 employees added from MKS and 4CS in the second half of 2011. In the second half of 2012, total headcount, and the corresponding compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses, decreased as a result of restructuring actions in the second and third quarters which resulted in employee terminations. The cost of third-party consulting services was $5.6 million lower in 2012 compared to 2011. The decrease in the use of third-party consultants is a result of growing internal capacity and improved utilization and the implementation of our strategy to have our strategic services partners perform services for customers directly, all of which have contributed to improving services margins.

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

Our sales and marketing expenses primarily include salaries and benefits, sales commissions, advertising and marketing programs, travel and facility costs. Our compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher by an aggregate of 7% ($21.3 million) in 2012 compared to 2011 due to higher average headcount during the year as a result of acquisitions and investments we have made in our direct sales force in support of revenue growth opportunities, as well as the impact of merit pay increases. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses were higher by $2.8 million in 2012, compared to 2011 as a result of

investments we are making in sales technology infrastructure. Sales meeting and marketing event expenses were lower by approximately $1.4 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to the PTC Creo product launch in the first quarter of 2011.

Our compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher by an aggregate of 12% ($29.5 million) in 2011 compared to 2010. The sales and marketing headcount at the end of 2011 included approximately 80 employees from MKS. 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 fact that the 2011 expense included the PTC Creo product launch and higher costs related to our fiscal 2011 sales kick-off meeting and worldwide PTC user conferences.

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 2012 compared to 2011 by an aggregate of 4% ($6.6 million) due primarily to the impact of annual salary increases. Total compensation, benefit costs and travel expenses were higher in 2011 compared to 2010 by an aggregate of 6% ($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 included approximately 120 employees from MKS and 130 employees from 4CS.

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. Acquisition-related costs were $3.8 million in 2012 compared to $7.8 million in 2011. Total compensation, benefit costs and travel costs were higher in 2012 by 8% ($6.2 million) due to higher headcount for the first six months of 2012 resulting from the acquisitions of MKS and 4CS (which headcount was partially reduced when the integration of these businesses was subsequently completed), the impact of annual salary increases and higher stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation was $2.1 million higher in 2012, compared to 2011. Additionally, costs for outside professional services were higher by $2.6 million in 2012, compared to 2011.

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 8% ($6.0 million). The general and administrative headcount at the end of 2011 included approximately 30 employees from MKS.

The amortization of acquired intangible assets reflects the amortization of acquired non-product related intangible assets, primarily customer and trademark-related intangible assets, recorded in connection with completed acquisitions. The increase in 2012 and 2011 compared to the previous periods was due primarily to amortization related to our acquisition of MKS.

As part of our strategy to reduce costs and to realign our business, in the second and third quarters of 2012, we implemented a restructuring of our business and recorded restructuring charges of $24.9 million, primarily for severance and related costs associated with 209 employees (representing approximately 3% of our workforce) notified of termination during that period. We expect that these reductions will result in operating expense savings of approximately $6 million per quarter. We realized approximately $13 million of operating expense savings from these reductions in 2012.

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, we made cash payments related to restructuring and other charges (including payments relating to restructuring and other charges recorded in 2009 and prior periods) of $20.9 million, $0.5 million and $14.5 million respectively. At September 30, 2012, accrued expenses for unpaid restructuring charges totaled $4.5 million which we expect to pay within the next six months.

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 a litigation settlement in Japan. Foreign currency losses in 2012 included $0.8 million related to MKS legal entity mergers.

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.

Table of Contents

Interest Income

Interest income represents earnings on the investment of our available cash balances. The decrease in interest income in 2012 compared to 2011 was due primarily to lower interest rates. 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.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is primarily related to interest on borrowings under our credit facility. The increase in interest expense in 2012 compared to 2011 is primarily due to higher amounts outstanding under our credit facility. We borrowed $250 million in May 2011 in connection with our acquisition of MKS and repaid $50 million of such amount in 2011 and $60 million in 2012. As of September 30, 2012, we had $370 million outstanding under our credit facility including $230 million in proceeds drawn from our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2012 to finance the Servigistics acquisition (which closed on October 2, 2012), compared to $200 million outstanding at September 30, 2011.

The increase in interest expense in 2011 compared to 2010 is due to higher average amounts outstanding and higher interest rates.

The average interest rate on amounts outstanding under the credit facility was 1.8% in 2012, 2.1% in 2011 and 1.6% in 2010.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate has fluctuated significantly in each of the past three years. In 2012 this was the result of establishing a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the U.S. In 2010 this was due primarily to the impact of discrete events, described further below, which created a one-time income tax provision in 2010.



	Year ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2010
	(in millions)
Pre-tax income	$	120.7		$	104.5		$	82.1
Tax provision	156.1			19.1			57.8
Effective income tax rate	129		%	18		%	70		%

In 2012, our effective tax rate was higher than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to the recording of a $124.5 million charge to the income tax provision related to the establishment of a valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets as described below. This increase was offset in part as a result of our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. Our 2012 provision included a non-cash charge of $4.2 million related to the restructuring of our Canadian operations that resulted in a change in the tax status of the foreign legal entity and a non-cash charge of $1.4 million related to the impact of a Japanese legislative change on our Japan entity's deferred tax assets. These charges were excluded from our non-GAAP earnings per share (see Income and Margins, Earnings per Share below). Additionally, our 2012 tax provision reflects a $7.8 million provision related to a research and development cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. A comparable prepayment was made in 2011. In 2012, we recorded a $2.0 million correction to deferred tax benefits on unrecognized actuarial losses related to pension benefits, which was not material to the current or prior periods.

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 the 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 undertook 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

Table of Contents

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. Additionally, we established a full valuation allowance on foreign tax credits not expected to be realized.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we recorded a $124.5 million non-cash charge to the income tax provision to establish a valuation allowance against all of our U.S. deferred tax assets, which were net of approximately $28 million of U.S. deferred tax liabilities. The accounting guidance for income taxes requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets, including carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the same character during the carryback or carryforward period. We consider all sources of taxable income available to realize the deferred tax assets, including the future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback years and tax-planning strategies.

In making a determination whether to record a valuation allowance, we weighed all available evidence, both positive and negative, including our cumulative profitability on a pre-tax basis for the last three years and our estimate of future pre-tax results. On a pre-tax basis (adjusted for permanent differences) for the three years ended September 30, 2012, we have cumulative U.S. profits, including the tax effect of legal entity reorganizations in 2010 and 2011 described above. However, based on our fiscal 2013 plan completed in the fourth quarter of 2012, we now estimate that the U.S. will generate a taxable loss in 2013 sufficient to result in cumulative three year losses by the end of 2013. Our 2012 results and our forecast for 2013 have not shown the improvement to U.S. earnings previously forecast. Although we anticipate continued improvement in U.S. core earnings, the turnaround to operating profitability is not anticipated in the near term. We had also anticipated that we would execute a legal entity reorganization of a foreign subsidiary that would generate sufficient U.S. taxable income to result in cumulative U.S. profits through at least 2013. We have now determined that this tax planning strategy is not feasible. As a result, we do not expect to generate sufficient U.S. taxable income in the near future to realize our U.S. net deferred tax assets.

In the first quarter of 2013, our acquisition of Servigistics, Inc. will be accounted for as a business combination. Assets acquired, including the fair values of acquired intangible assets, and liabilities assumed will be recorded in purchase accounting. In conjunction with recording the finite-lived acquired intangible assets, we anticipate that we will be recording deferred tax liabilities equal to the tax effect of the acquired intangible assets that are not deductible for income tax purposes. We anticipate that, in purchase accounting, Servigistics will be in a U.S. net deferred tax liability position, which will result in an adjustment to decrease our valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets. As this decrease in the valuation allowance is not part of the purchase accounting for Servigistics (the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed) it will be recorded as an income tax benefit. We expect our tax provision in the first quarter of 2013 to be an income tax benefit, net, due to the release of a significant portion of the valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets as a result of purchase accounting for Servigistics.

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

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

Income and Margins; Earnings per Share; Non-GAAP Measures

Table of Contents

As shown in the table below, our GAAP and non-GAAP operating income and operating margins have shown year-over-year improvements in both 2012 and 2011, 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.

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


•	non-GAAP revenue—GAAP revenue


•	non-GAAP gross margin—GAAP gross margin


•	non-GAAP operating income—GAAP operating income


•	non-GAAP operating margin—GAAP operating margin


•	non-GAAP net income—GAAP net income (loss)


•	non-GAAP diluted earnings per share—GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share

The non-GAAP measures exclude a fair value adjustment related to acquired MKS deferred maintenance revenue, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, one-time gains or charges included in non-operating other income (expense) and the related tax effects of the preceding items, and the tax items identified. These items are normally included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

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 is a non-cash expense that is 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.

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, we regularly reevaluate our assumptions, 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.

(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 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 was 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, and also include any identified tax items. Income tax adjustments in 2012 includes a non-cash net tax charge of $124.5 million to establish a valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets; $5.4 million, net primarily related to foreign tax credits which would be fully realized on a non-GAAP basis; $3.3 million, net, primarily related to a $4.2 million charge as a result of acquired legal entity integration activities; and $1.4 million related to the impact from a reduction in the statutory tax rate in Japan on deferred tax assets from a litigation settlement. Income tax adjustments in 2011 and 2010 includes one-time non-cash tax provisions of $1.9 million and $43.4 million, respectively, in connection with legal entity reorganizations.

Non-GAAP weighted average shares for 2012 of 121.0 million shares includes the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards of 2.3 million shares due to non-GAAP net income in 2012.

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 acquired in 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 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

Table of Contents

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 2012, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:



	Year ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2010
	(in thousands)
License revenue	$	348,394	$	342,121	$	296,021
Consulting and training services revenue	295,342		267,150		217,606
Maintenance revenue	611,943		557,678		496,422
Total revenue	$	1,255,679	$	1,166,949	$	1,010,049

W 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.

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.

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.

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, 2012, we have a valuation allowance of $147.1 million against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a remaining valuation allowance of $23.3 million against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we recorded a $124.5 million non-cash charge to the income tax provision related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against all of our U.S. net deferred tax assets. The accounting guidance for income taxes requires that

Table of Contents

deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets, including carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the same character during the carryback or carryforward period. We consider all sources of taxable income available to realize the deferred tax assets, including the future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback years and tax-planning strategies.

In making a determination whether to record a valuation allowance, we weighed all available evidence, both positive and negative, including our cumulative profitability on a pre-tax basis for the last three years and our estimate of future pre-tax results. On a pre-tax basis (adjusted for permanent differences) for the three years ended September 30, 2012, we have cumulative U.S. profits, including the tax effect of legal entity reorganizations in 2010 and 2011. However, based on our fiscal 2013 plan completed in the fourth quarter of 2012, we now estimate that the U.S. will generate a taxable loss in 2013 sufficient to result in cumulative three year losses by the end of 2013. Our 2012 results and our forecast for 2013 have not shown the improvement to U.S. earnings previously forecast. Although we anticipate continued improvement in U.S. core earnings, the turnaround to operating profitability is not anticipated in the near term. Additionally, we anticipated that we would execute a legal entity reorganization of a foreign subsidiary that would generate sufficient U.S. taxable income to result in cumulative U.S. profits through at least 2013. We have now determined that this tax planning strategy is not feasible. As a result, we do not expect to generate sufficient U.S. taxable income in the near future to realize our U.S. net deferred tax assets.

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.

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 and liabilities assumed 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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 $610.3 million and $613.4 million as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We have two operating segments: (1) Software Products and (2) Services. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are determined based on the components of our operating segments that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management. Our reporting units are consistent with our operating segments. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable segment was $768.1 million and $806.0 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment was $28.1 million and $29.4 million, respectively. We test goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting segment below its carrying value. 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.

Our 2012 goodwill impairment assessment was based on the new guidance prescribed in ASU 2011-8. On July 2, 2011, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit was approximately double its carrying value or higher. Because our fair value was well in excess of our carrying value on that date and there were no other indicators that our goodwill had become impaired since that date, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be greater than its carrying amount no additional testing will be performed. If we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the two step impairment test will be performed. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

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

Accounting for Pensions

Table of Contents

We sponsor several U.S. and international pension plans. We make assumptions that are used in calculating the expense and liability of these plans. 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 plans' asset allocations and the expected returns likely to be earned over the life of the plans. 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 actuarial assumptions used by us may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions or longer or shorter life spans of the participants. Our actual results could differ materially from those we estimated, which could require us to record a greater amount of pension expense in future years and/or require higher than expected cash contributions.

In the U.S., we sponsor a frozen pension plan covering mostly inactive participants. The U.S. discount rate is determined using a bond-matching tool. Under this tool, discount rates are derived by identifying a theoretical settlement portfolio of high quality bonds sufficient to provide for the pension plan's projected benefit payments. A single rate is then determined that results in a discounted value of the plan's benefit payments that equates to the market value of the selected bonds. In determining our U.S. pension cost for 2012, 2011 and 2010, we used a discount rate of 4.50%, 5.00% and 5.50%, respectively, and an expected return on plan assets of 7.25% for 2012 and 2011 and 7.50% for 2010.

Certain of our international subsidiaries (principally Germany) 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. 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. In determining our pension cost for 2012, 2011 and 2010, we used weighted average discount rates of 4.8%, 4.0% and 5.1%, respectively, and weighted average expected returns on plan assets of 5.4%, 5.6% and 6.1% , respectively.

In 2012 and 2010, our actual return on plan assets in total for all plans was a gain of $16.5 million and $7.7 million, respectively, while in 2011 our actual return on plan assets was a loss of $1.6 million. 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, 2012 and 2011, our plans in total were underfunded, representing the difference between our projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets, by $76.3 million and $68.2 million, respectively. The projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2012 was determined using a discount rate of 4.0% for the U.S. plan and a weighted average discount rate of 3.4% 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 $5.9 million in 2012 and we expect it to be approximately $5 million in 2013. 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, 2012 by approximately $1 million. A 50 basis point decrease in our discount rate assumptions would increase our projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2012 by approximately $15 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. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2012 reflects $230 million borrowed under our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2012 to finance our acquisition of Servigistics, which closed on October 2, 2012, for approximately $220 million.

Cash provided by operating activities

2012 compared to 2011

The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to collections on accounts receivables, which had a favorable impact of $64.6 million in 2012 compared to 2011, and improved profitability (non-GAAP operating income for 2012 was $246.8 million compared to $206.6 million in 2011), partially offset by restructuring payments of $21 million. Additionally, the resolution of a legal matter reduced our cash balance by $48 million in 2011.

Cash collections on accounts receivable remained strong with days sales outstanding of 61 days as of September 30, 2012 compared to 62 days as of September 30, 2011.

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 $13.0 million and $16.0 million at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

2011 compared to 2010

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the resolution of a litigation matter in Japan, which reduced our cash balance by a net amount of approximately $48 million in the first quarter of 2011, 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 and $169.3 million at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable at the end of 2011 as compared to 2010 was due primarily to revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011 being $71.3 million higher than in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Cash paid for income taxes was $53.0 million, $28.1 million and $34.3 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we borrowed $230 million under our credit facility to finance our acquisition of Servigistics. Proceeds from issuance of common stock reflects stock option exercises. Stock option exercises totaled 2.3 million in 2012 compared to 1.9 million in 2011 and 1.5 million in 2010. As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately 0.6 million stock options outstanding with gross exercise prices totaling $5.9 million. As a result, in 2013, proceeds from stock option exercises will be significantly lower.

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, 2012 through September 30, 2013. In 2012, we repurchased 1.6 million shares at a cost of $35.0 million. In 2011 and 2010, we repurchased 2.6 million shares at a cost of $54.9 million and 3.7 million shares at a cost of $62.5 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

In August 2012, we entered into a multi-currency credit facility (the credit facility) with a syndicate of ten banks for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Administrative Agent. The credit facility replaced a revolving credit facility with the same banks (the previous credit facility) entered into in August 2010. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of businesses and working capital requirements. The new credit facility consists of a $150 million term loan and a $300 million revolving loan commitment, and may be increased by an additional $150 million (in the form of revolving loans or term loans, or a combination thereof) if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments. The revolving loan commitment does not require amortization of principal. The term loan requires repayment of principal at the end of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2012. The revolving loan and term loan may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the scheduled maturity dates at PTC's option without penalty or premium. The credit facility matures on August 16, 2017, when all remaining amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. We are required to make principal payments under the term loan of $7.5 million, $15.0 million, $15.0 million, $22.5 million and $90.0 million in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

As of September 30, 2012, the balance outstanding under the credit facility was $370 million, including $230 million borrowed in connection with our acquisition of Servigistics in September 2012. As of September 30, 2011, we had a $200 million revolving loan outstanding under the previous credit facility which was the remaining balance of the $250 million borrowed in 2011 in connection with our acquisition of MKS. In 2010, we repaid revolving credit facility borrowings of $51 million, which was the remaining balance of $220 million we had borrowed in 2008 in connection with our acquisition of CoCreate.

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:

Table of Contents


•	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 3.50 to 1.00 at any time.

As of September 30, 2012, our leverage ratio was 1.40 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 60.53

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

September 30, 2012.

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

Expectations for Fiscal 2013

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 2013 to repay $120 million to $160 million outstanding under our credit facility and to repurchase between $55 million and $75 million worth of shares of our common stock. Capital expenditures in 2013 are currently anticipated to be approximately $28 million.

On October 2, 2012, we closed our acquisition of Servigistics for approximately $220 million in cash. We financed the acquisition with borrowings under our credit facility. We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, possible strategic transactions on an ongoing basis and at any given time may be engaged in discussions or negotiations with respect to possible strategic transactions. Our expected uses of cash could change, our cash position could be reduced and we may incur additional debt obligations to the extent we complete any significant acquisitions.

At September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $295.8 million in the United States (including $230 million borrowed under our Credit Facility in contemplation of our acquisition of Servigistics), $81.1 million in Europe, $75.6 million in the Pacific Rim (including India), $19.6 million in Japan and $17.4 million in other non-U.S. countries. As of September 30, 2012, we had an outstanding intercompany loan receivable of $280.7 million, primarily resulting from our business reorganizations described in Note G Income Taxes in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Annual Report, owed to the U.S. from our top tier foreign subsidiary. This amount can be repaid with cash generated by our foreign subsidiaries and repatriated to the U.S. without future tax cost.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2012, our contractual obligations were as follows:



	Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
	(in millions)
Credit facility (1)	$	400.4	$	14.3	$	43.0	$	343.1	$	—
Operating leases (2)	216.6		43.1		62.7		39.2		71.6
Purchase obligations (3)	34.0		20.7		11.2		2.1		—
Pension liabilities (4)	76.3		5.8		16.1		16.8		37.6
Unrecognized tax benefits (5)	19.1		—		—		—		—
Total	$	746.4	$	83.9	$	133.0	$	401.2	$	109.2


(1)	Credit facility amounts above include required principal repayments and interest and commitment fees based on the balance outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and the interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2012, 1.8125%.

(2)

The future minimum lease payments above include minimum future lease payments for excess facilities under noncancelable 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.


(3)	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-

Table of Contents

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 canceled without payment penalties have been excluded. The purchase obligations included above are in addition to amounts included in current liabilities and prepaid expenses recorded on our September 30, 2012 consolidated balance sheet.

(4)

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.


(5)	As of September 30, 2012, we had recorded total unrecognized tax benefits of $19.1 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, 2012, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of approximately $3.7 million (of which $1.2 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 Western European countries, Japan, China and Canada. 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 forecast 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, expenses that are incurred by our non-U.S. subsidiaries typically are denominated in their local currency. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, approximately two thirds of our revenue and half of our expenses were 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. Historically, our most significant currency risk has been changes in the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar. Based on current revenue and expense levels, a $0.10 change in the USD to EURO exchange rate would impact operating income by approximately $15 million.

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

Table of Contents

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.

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



Currency Hedged	September 30,
Currency Hedged	2012		2011
	(in thousands)
Canadian/U.S. Dollar	$	54,133	$	92,748
Euro/U.S. Dollar	53,716		65,773
British Pound/Euro	388		3,993
Chinese Renminbi/U.S. Dollar	3,666		19,973
Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar	13,415		13,676
Swiss Franc/U.S. Dollar	—		9,419
All other	8,585		7,350
Total	$	133,903	$	212,932

Debt

As of September 30, 2012, the amount outstanding under our variable-rate credit facility was $370 million, including a term loan of $150 million and a revolving credit facility of $220 million. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days depending on the rate and period selected by the Company. These loans are 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, 2012, the annual rate is 1.8125%, which will reset on November 15, 2012 for the term loan and December 13, 2012 for the revolving loan, 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 $3.7 million. This hypothetical change in cash flows and earnings has been calculated based on the borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2012 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, 2012, 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, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $81.1 million in Europe, $295.8 million in the United States, $75.6 million in the Pacific Rim (including India), $19.6 million in Japan and $17.4 million in other non-U.S. countries. Given the short maturities and investment grade quality of the portfolio holdings at September 30, 2012, 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 $0.7 million and $6.4 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and unfavorably by $1.3 million in 2010 due to changes in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly the Euro and the Japanese Yen.

ITEM 9A.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2012.

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, 2012 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, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012 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 that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 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, that help companies design products, manage product information and improve their product development and services processes. Our software solutions provide our customers with a 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, design and supply chains and at the point of aftermarket services delivery. 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. Certain prior year amounts on the consolidated balance sheets were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

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 2012, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:



	Year ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2010
	(in thousands)
License revenue	$	348,394	$	342,121	$	296,021
Consulting and training services revenue	295,342		267,150		217,606
Maintenance revenue	611,943		557,678		496,422
Total revenue	$	1,255,679	$	1,166,949	$	1,010,049

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. 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.

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.

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.

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, 2012 and 2011 were $110.7 million and $93.0 million, respectively. Deferred revenue consisted of the following:



	September 30,
	2012		2011
	(in thousands)
Deferred maintenance revenue	$	306,940	$	270,075
Deferred other service revenue	14,127		15,321
Deferred license revenue	6,462		8,928
Total deferred revenue	$	327,529	$	294,324

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, 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, 2012 or 2011.

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, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:



	September 30,
	2012		2011

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, and accounts receivable aging trends. Our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable was $3.4 million as of September 30, 2012, $3.9 million as of September 30, 2011, $4.6 million as of September 30, 2010 and $5.3 million as of September 30, 2009. Uncollectible trade accounts receivable written-off, net of recoveries, were $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $1.9 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Provisions for bad debt expense were $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $1.2 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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 extended payment terms for software purchases to credit-worthy customers with payment terms up to 24 months. The determination of whether to offer such payment terms is based on the size, nature and credit-worthiness of the customer, and the history of collecting amounts due, without concession, from the customer and customers generally. This determination is based on an internal credit assessment. In making this assessment, we use the Standard & Poor's (S&P) credit rating as our primary credit quality indicator, if available. If a customer, including both commercial and U.S. Federal government, has a S&P bond rating of BBB- or above, we designate the customer as a Tier 1. If a customer does not have a S&P bond rating, or has a S&P bond rating below BBB-, we base our assessment on an internal credit assessment which considers selected balance sheet, operating and liquidity measures, historical payment experience, and current business conditions within the industry or region. We designate these customers as Tier 2 or Tier 3, with Tier 3 being lower credit quality than Tier 2.

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, amounts due from customers for contracts with original payment terms greater than twelve months (financing receivables) totaled $42.5 million and $57.9 million, respectively. Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include current receivables from such contracts totaling $29.5 million and $41.9 million at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include long-term receivables from such contracts totaling $13.0 million and $16.0 million at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, none of these receivables were past due. Our credit risk assessment for financing receivables was as follows:



	September 30,
	2012		2011

S&P bond rating BBB-1 and above-Tier 1	$	34,017	$	38,575

We evaluate the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of these customers to make required payments. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we concluded that all financing receivables were collectible and no reserve for credit losses was recorded. We did not provide a reserve for credit losses or write off any uncollectible financing receivables in 2012, 2011 and 2010. We write off uncollectible trade and financing receivables when we have exhausted all collection avenues.

We periodically transfer future payments under certain of these contracts to third-party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. We record such transfers as sales of the related accounts receivable when we surrender control of such receivables. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, we sold $14.3 million, $4.1 million and $31.6 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.

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



	September 30,
Currency Hedged	2012		2011
	(in thousands)
Canadian/U.S. Dollar	$	54,133	$	92,748

Swiss Franc/U.S. Dollar	—		9,419
All other	8,585		7,350
Total	$	133,903	$	212,932

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include net assets of $0.2 million and $5.5 million in other current assets as of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, 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 $5.9 million, $12.3 million and $2.9 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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 $3.6 million, $4.1 million and $1.8 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2011, in connection with our planned acquisition of MKS, we entered into forward contracts to purchase CND$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 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 2012, 2011 or 2010. In connection with acquisitions of businesses described in Note E, we capitalized software of $44.9 million and $0.4 million in 2011 and 2010, 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. We perform our annual goodwill assessment as of the end of the third quarter. Our goodwill impairment assessment was based on the new guidance prescribed in ASU 2011-8. On July 2, 2011, the date of our previous goodwill impairment analysis,the estimated fair value of each reporting unit was approximately double its carrying value or higher. Because our fair value was well in excess of our carrying value on that date, and there were no other indicators that our goodwill had become impaired since that date, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be greater than its carrying amount no additional testing will be performed. If we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the two step impairment test will be performed. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

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 4 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 $2.8 million, $2.6 million and $2.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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 benefits for the net changes in the foreign currency translation adjustment, as we intend to reinvest permanently undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. In 2012, we recorded a $2.0 million correction to deferred tax benefits on unrecognized actuarial losses related to pension benefits, which was not material to the current or prior periods. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity and, as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, was comprised of cumulative translation adjustment losses of $7.6 million and gains of $5.4 million, respectively, and unrecognized actuarial losses related to pension benefits net of tax of $64.9 million and $59.4 million, respectively.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

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

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



	Year ended September 30,
	2012			2011		2010
	(in thousands, except per share data)
Net income (loss)	$	(35,398	)	$	85,424	$	24,368
Weighted average shares outstanding	118,705			117,579		115,639
Dilutive effect of employee stock options, restricted shares and restricted stock units	—			3,395		4,286
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	118,705			120,974		119,925
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	(0.30	)	$	0.73	$	0.21
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	(0.30	)	$	0.71	$	0.20

Due to the net loss generated in 2012, the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and restricted stock units totaling 2.3 million was excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for that period as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 0.2 million and 1.7 million shares for 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

F-12

Table of Contents

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.

Related Party Transaction

On November 15, 2011, we entered into a consulting agreement with Professor Michael Porter, a director of PTC. In consideration for providing consulting services, we made a restricted stock grant valued at $200,000 (9,402 shares) to Professor Porter, half of which will vest on November 15, 2012 and the other half of which will vest on November 15, 2013. Professor Porter may also earn up to $240,000 in fees for participation in strategy events on behalf of PTC. If we terminate the agreement without cause, vesting of all the shares will be accelerated.

C. Restructuring Charges

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

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

The following table summarizes restructuring charges reserve activity for the three years ended September 30, 2012:

Depreciation expense was $30.4 million, $28.7 million and $28.2 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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 $81.5 million and $26.8 million to our 2012 and 2011 revenue, respectively.

Acquisition-related costs were $3.8 million and $7.8 million in September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Acquisition- related costs include charges related to acquisition integration activities (i.e., severance and professional fees). These costs have been classified in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

4CS

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’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.

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 $265.2 million, net of $33.2 million of cash acquired.

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).

F. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

We have two reportable segments: (1) software products and (2) services. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable segment was $768.1 million and $806.0 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment was $28.1 million and $29.4 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 June 30, 2012 based on a qualitative assessment. Our qualitative assessment included company specific (financial performance and long-range plans), industry, and macroeconomic factors, as well as a sensitivity analysis of key model assumptions. Based on our qualitative assessment, we believe it is more-likely-than-not that the fair values of our reporting units exceed their carrying values and no further impairment testing is required. Through September 30, 2012, there have not been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangible assets may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets consisted of the following:



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

(1) The weighted average useful lives of purchased software, customer lists and relationships, trademarks and trade names and other intangible assets with a remaining net book value are 8 years, 10 years, 7 years and 4 years, respectively.

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill at September 30, 2012 from October 1, 2010 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.

Changes in goodwill presented by reportable segment were as follows:

In 2012, our effective tax rate was higher than the 35% statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to the recording of a $124.5 million charge to the income tax provision related to the establishment of a valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets. This increase was offset in part as a result of our corporate structure in which our foreign taxes are at a net effective tax rate lower than the U.S. rate. Our 2012 provision included $4.2 million related to the restructuring of our Canadian operations that resulted in a change in the tax status of the foreign legal entity and a discrete non-cash charge of $1.4 million related to the impact of a Japanese legislative change on our Japan entities' deferred tax assets. Additionally, our 2012 tax provision reflects a $7.8 million provision related to a research and development cost sharing prepayment by a foreign subsidiary to the U.S. We made a comparable prepayment in 2011. Foreign rate differences in our effective tax rate reconciliation above include the effect of the current year deferred charges associated with intercompany transactions.

In 2011, we continued the 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.

Table of Contents

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we undertook 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 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. Additionally, we established a full valuation allowance on foreign tax credits not expected to be realized.

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, 2012 and 2011, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet included deferred charges of $7.7 million ($3.6 million in other current assets and $4.1 million in other assets) and $11.4 million ($3.6 million in other current assets and $7.8 million in other assets), respectively.

At September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 $16.4 million ($0.8 million in accrued income taxes, $4.4 million in other current liabilities and $11.2 million in other liabilities) and $27.5 million ($11.9 million in accrued income taxes, $5.4 million in other current liabilities and $10.2 million in other liabilities), respectively. At September 30, 2012 and 2011, prepaid taxes recorded in prepaid expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $0.7 million and $0.0 million, respectively. We made net income tax payments of $53.0 million, $28.1 million and $34.3 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The change in the net deferred tax asset to $11.3 million in 2012 from $121.9 million in 2011 includes the establishment of a valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we recorded a $124.5 million non-cash charge to the income tax provision to establish a valuation allowance against all of our U.S. deferred tax assets, which were net of approximately $28 million of U.S. deferred tax liabilities. There were $6.1 million of U.S. deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets that were not available to be offset against deferred tax assets. The accounting guidance for income taxes requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets, including carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the same character during the carryback or carryforward period. We considered all sources of taxable income available to realize the deferred tax assets, including the future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback years and tax-planning strategies.

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, 2012, we had U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of $2.9 million from acquisitions, consisting of $1.0 million from MKS which expire beginning in 2020 through 2030, $1.1 million from CoCreate which expire beginning in 2019 through 2027, and $0.7 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. As of September 30, 2012, we had Massachusetts research and development credit carryforwards of $18.3 million, which expire beginning in 2016 and ending in 2027. A full valuation allowance is recorded against these carryforwards.

We also have loss carryforwards in non-U.S. jurisdictions totaling $110.3 million, the majority of which do not expire. There are limitations imposed on the utilization of such NOLs that could restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

As of September 30, 2012, we have a valuation allowance of $147.1 million against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and a remaining valuation allowance of $23.3 million against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. 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 restrict the recognition of any tax benefits.

The changes to the valuation allowance were primarily due to:

In 2011 and 2010, 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 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.

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 2012, 2011 and 2010, we included in our income tax provision $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of net interest expense and penalty expense of $0.1 million in 2012 and 2010. In 2011, we had no tax penalty expense in our income tax provision. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had accrued $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of net estimated interest expense related to income tax accruals. We had $0.1 million of accrued tax penalties as of September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, we had an unrecognized tax benefit of $19.1 million ($19.1 million net of tax benefits from other jurisdictions). 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). If all of our unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012 were to become recognizable in the future, we would record a benefit to the income tax provision of $18.3 million which would be partially offset by an increase in the U.S. valuation allowance of $5.3 million. Changes in the unrecognized tax benefit were due to:



	Year ended September 30,
	2012				2011			2010
	(in millions)
Unrecognized tax benefit beginning of year	$	16.2			$	15.9		$	16.9

Statute expirations	(1.4		)	—	—			—
Unrecognized tax benefit end of year	$	19.1			$	16.2		$	15.9

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 $6 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, 2012, 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 2012, 2011 and 2010 of $51.3 million, $45.4 million and $48.9 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 $2.8 million, $13.6 million and $14.8 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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 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 (APIC) in the period when the tax deduction reduces income taxes payable. In 2012 and 2011, we recorded net windfalls of $1.1 million and $9.4 million to APIC, respectively. 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. We follow the direct method for indirect effects. As of September 30, 2012, the tax effect of windfall tax deductions which had not yet reduced taxes payable was $18.0 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. unless it can be done with no significant tax cost. 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 $209 million and $99 million as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 $280.7 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. Debt

Credit Agreement

The new credit facility consists of a $150 million term loan and a $300 million revolving loan commitment, and may be increased by an additional $150 million (in the form of revolving loans or term loans, or a combination thereof) if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments. The revolving loan commitment does not require amortization of principal. The term loan requires prepayment of principal at the end of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2012. The revolving loan and term loan may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the scheduled maturity dates at PTC's option without penalty or premium. The credit facility matures on August 16, 2017, when all remaining amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. We are required to make principal payments under the term loan of $7.5 million, $15.0 million, $15.0 million, $22.5 million and $90.0 million in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

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.

As of September 30, 2012, we had $370 million outstanding under the credit facility (including $230 million borrowed in connection with our October 2012 acquisition of Servigistics described in Note O) comprised of the 150 million term loan

F-21

Table of Contents

and a $220 million revolving loan. As of September 30, 2011, we had a $200 million revolving loan outstanding under the previous credit facility. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days depending on the rate and period selected by the Company as described below. As of September 30, 2012, the annual rate on the term loan was 1.8125%, which will reset on November 15, 2012 and the annual interest rate on the revolving loan was 1.8125% which will reset on December 13, 2012. Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility range from 1.25% to 1.625% above an adjusted LIBO rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or would range from 0.25% to 0.625% above the defined base rate (the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.005%, or an adjusted LIBO rate plus 1%) for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon PTC’s leverage ratio. Additionally, PTC may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest rates for those currencies, based on PTC’s leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility is required, ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum, based upon PTC’s leverage ratio.

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


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


•	a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA less consolidated capital expenditures to consolidated fixed charges, of no less than 3.50 to 1.00 at any time.

As of September 30, 2012, our leverage ratio was 1.40 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 60.53 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of September 30, 2012.

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

We incurred $1.8 million, $1.0 million, and $2.6 million of origination costs in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, in connection with entering into the new and previous credit facilities and amending the previous credit facility in 2011. These origination costs were recorded as deferred debt issuance costs when incurred and are being expensed over the remaining term of the new credit facility.

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, we paid $3.7 million, $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of interest on the credit facilities. The average interest rate on borrowings outstanding during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 1.8%, 2.1% and 1.6%, 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 $37.8 million, $35.7 million and $37.5 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2012, 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 10 years (through November 2022). The new lease provides for $12.8 million in landlord funding for leasehold improvements which we expect to complete in 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 of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding of $3.7 million (of which $1.2 million was collateralized) and $3.8 million (of which $1.1 million was collateralized), respectively, primarily related to our corporate headquarters lease.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

China Investigation

We have been investigating payments by and expenses of certain business partners and 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 replacements for those employees and business partners are in place and productive. Revenue from China has historically represented 6% to 7% of our total revenue. We have voluntarily disclosed the results of our investigation and associated remedial actions to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission and are continuing to provide additional information as requested by those agencies with respect to this matter. Resolution of this matter could include fines or other sanctions but we are unable to estimate an amount, if any.

Other Legal Proceedings

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

Accruals

With respect to legal proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For legal proceedings and claims for which the likelihood that a liability has been incurred is more than remote but less than probable, we estimate the range of possible outcomes. As of September 30, 2012, we had a legal proceedings and claims accrual of 0.5 million.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

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

F-23

Table of Contents

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

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 2012, we are authorized to repurchase up to $100 million worth of shares with cash from operations in the period October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013. In 2012, we repurchased 1.6 million shares at a cost of $35.0 million. In 2011 and 2010, we repurchased 2.6 million shares at a cost of $54.9 million and 3.7 million shares at a cost of $62.5 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 generally 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 2012, 2011 and 2010 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 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $20.16, $21.91 and $16.07, respectively. Pre-vesting forfeiture rates for purposes of determining stock-based compensation for all periods presented were estimated by us to be 0% for directors and executive officers, 4% for vice president-level employees and 7% for all other employees.

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

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 4 years of service. We made matching contributions of $4.9 million, $4.4 million, and $4.2 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

M. Pension Plans

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

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

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

Rate of return on plan assets	7.25	%	7.25	%	7.50	%	5.4	%	5.6	%	6.1	%


(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 3% at September 30, 2012 and 2011.

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, 2012, for the U.S. plan and the international plans, the weighted long-term rate of return assumption is 7.25% and 5.40%, respectively. These rates of return, together with the assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of September 30, 2012 in the table above, will be used to determine our 2013 net periodic pension cost, which we expect to be approximately $5 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 2012, our actual return on plan assets was a gain of $16.5 million compared to a loss of $1.6 million in 2011 and a gain of $7.7 million in 2010.

Based on actuarial valuations and additional voluntary contributions, we contributed $7.7 million, $2.2 million, and $9.2 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to the plans. We expect to make contributions totaling approximately $9.3 million in 2013.

As of September 30, 2012, benefit payments expected to be paid over the next ten years are outlined in the following table:

Fair Value of Plan Assets

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

The International Plan assets are comprised primarily of investments in a trust and an insurance company. The underlying investments in the trust are primarily publicly traded European DJ EuroStoxx50 equities and European governmental fixed income securities. They are classified as Level 1 because the underlying units of the trust are traded in open public markets. The fair value of the underlying investments in equity securities and fixed income are based upon publicly traded exchange prices.

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

F-30

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 charges of $24.9 million in 2012. Software Products included $4.1 million; Services included $4.0 million; sales and marketing expenses included $15.2 million; and general and administrative expenses included $1.6 million of the total restructuring and in-process research and development charges recorded in 2012.

(2)

In the first quarter of 2011, we made a strategic decision to enter into a contract with a customer in the automotive industry, for which we expect our costs to exceed our revenue by approximately $5 million. Services segment operating income in 2011 includes immediate recognition of the approximately $5 million estimated loss on this contract and resulted in a reduction of service margins by approximately 2%.

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

Intercompany sales and transfers between geographic areas are accounted for at prices that are designed to be representative of unaffiliated party transactions.

O. Subsequent Events

Acquisition

On October 2, 2012, we completed the acquisition of Servigistics, Inc. (“Servigistics”), a developer of a suite of service lifecycle management (SLM) software solutions. We acquired Servigistics to expand our products that support service organizations within manufacturing companies including managing service and spare parts information and the delivery of service for warranty and product support processes. Servigistics had annualized revenues of approximately $80 million and approximately 400 employees. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of August 7, 2012 by and among PTC, the stockholders of Servigistics (the Sellers) and Servigistics, LLC, as the Sellers' representative, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Servigistics from the Sellers for approximately $220 million. We borrowed $230 million under our existing credit facility to fund the acquisition (Note H). We have not yet completed our purchase price allocation.

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On October 9, 2012, we adopted a plan to restructure our workforce. The restructuring is in furtherance of our commitment to enhance long-term profitability and in part related to our acquisition of Servigistics. We expect to record a restructuring charge attributable to termination benefits of approximately $16 million in our first quarter ending December 29, 2012, which will result in cash expenditures of approximately the same amount during 2013. The timing of the reductions in force will vary by country based on local legal requirements, but we expect that substantially all affected employees will be separated from PTC by end of the first quarter.

Restricted Stock Unit Grants

Table of Contents

On November 5, 2012, we granted the restricted stock units shown in the table below.

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, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2012 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, 2012, 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.
