Fourth Quarter Revenue and EPS in line with Company Targets

NEEDHAM, Mass., October 16, 2001 - PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the product development companyTM, today reported revenue totaling $225.4 million for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared with $235.0 million for the same period last year. Pro forma net income, excluding non-recurring charges and the amortization of intangible assets, was $7.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $13.7 million and $0.05 per diluted share, for the year-ago period.

Including non-recurring charges and the amortization of intangible assets, the net loss for the fourth quarter was $24.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.9 million or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period last year. During the quarter, the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $34.3 million related to recent actions to reduce its cost structure and the write down of certain investments.

For the fiscal year, revenue totaled $934.6 million, compared to $928.4 million for fiscal 2000. Pro forma net income, excluding non-recurring charges and the amortization of intangible assets, was $57.1 million or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $38.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, last fiscal year. Including non-recurring charges and the amortization of intangible assets, the net loss was $8.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, last year.

"We executed well this quarter in an extremely challenging sales environment," said C. Richard Harrison, president and chief executive officer. "We believe that our strategic efforts in this past year in developing software solutions, expanding distribution and improving customer satisfaction are helping us to expand our leadership position as the product development company.

"We're providing our customers the ability to differentiate their product development processes and improve the competitiveness of their products. Although we believe the recession is likely to continue to impact PTC's revenue, we expect product development initiatives will be among our customers' most important spending priorities. As previously announced, PTC reduced its workforce and related facilities in the fourth quarter, in an effort to minimize the impact of the economic slowdown on our bottom line. These actions should improve operating margins in 2002 and result in year-over-year earnings growth."

Operating Highlights

Windchill
Total Windchill revenue in the fourth quarter was $52.6 million, compared to $51.6 million a year ago. For the year, Windchill revenue grew 22% to $213.9 million. In the fourth quarter, PTC received orders for Windchill from customers such as Boeing, EMC, Pitney Bowes, and TRW.

During the quarter, PTC launched its second solution, Windchill PartsLink, a fully integrated interactive product catalog software solution that allows mechanical and electronic suppliers to publish and distribute rich technical product data, including 3D geometry, via a fast, easy to use, Net-native interface. PTC expects to launch its third collaboration solution targeted for design-to-order products in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Additionally, the Company continued to expand its systems integrator alliances by adding eight new enterprise consulting partners, including Andersen. The Company now has active relationships with 47 systems integrator partners and has over 500 premiere partner consultants technically trained and deployed. In the first year of PTC's Enterprise Consulting Partner program, systems integrators have booked over $60 million in services revenue for Windchill implementations.

MCAD
The Company's total mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) revenue for the fourth quarter was $172.8 million, compared to $183.4 million a year ago. MCAD license revenue grew slightly sequentially, despite the challenging environment. MCAD sales included deals with Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Tetra Pak and Toshiba.

During the quarter, PTC introduced Pro/COLLABORATE, a free service which offers Pro/ENGINEER customers the ability to share information and collaborate across the design chain in a hosted environment. Since the product was introduced to the Pro/ENGINEER customer base in August, over 2,500 participants at 1,300 organizations have already used the service. Pro/COLLABORATE is representative of PTC's strategy to gain market share and differentiate its MCAD offerings by infusing them with collaboration technology. This service helps bring PTC's MCAD and Windchill offerings together into a full software solution suite that clearly spans the entire design chain throughout the product development and deployment process.

"Strategically, PTC made excellent progress this year," concluded Harrison. "We have fortified our position with partners, refined our solutions strategy, expanded our suite of products, and enhanced our ability to deliver both a collaborative product development vision and ROI for customers. We are confident in our competitive positioning and are poised to gain further strategic ground in 2002."
