PTC Reports Fiscal 2004 First Quarter Results

    -- Company Achieves Operating Profit, Excluding Restructuring Charges;
                     Net Loss Narrows 30% Sequentially --

    NEEDHAM, Mass., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the
product development company(TM), today reported revenue totaling $156.8
million for the first quarter ended January 3, 2004, compared with $172.0
million for the same period last year.  Revenue declined 4% sequentially, from
$163.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.
    Net loss for the first quarter was $26.5 million, or $0.10 per share,
compared to a net loss of $11.4 million, or $0.04 per share, for the year-ago
period.  On a sequential basis, net loss declined 30% from $38.0 million, or
$0.14 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2003.  Operating loss was $21.1
million in the first quarter of 2004, compared to $9.7 million in the year-ago
period, and $31.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.  The first quarter
net and operating losses include restructuring charges of $21.6 million, while
there were no restructuring charges in the year-ago period, and there were
$15.8 million of restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of 2003.  Cash
and investments were $190.1 million at the end of the first quarter.
    "This quarter, we removed more than $20 million from our expense
structure, and reached an important milestone in our plan to return to
profitability by achieving an operating profit, excluding restructuring
charges," said C. Richard Harrison, president and chief executive officer.
"We accomplished this earlier than expected through strong execution of the
cost reduction program we announced in 2003.  With about 80 percent of this
reduction program complete, we have gained significant operating leverage in
our business."
    Total design solutions revenue for the first quarter was $113.9 million,
which was down 4% from the fourth quarter.  Design solutions license revenue
was $29.8 million, compared with $33.8 million in the fourth quarter.
Although there was a decline in revenue from product upgrades and new high-end
seats, PTC's low-end seat sales continued to grow, as a result of improved
channel performance.  Additionally, PTC's existing customers continue to show
strong adoption of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire; an estimated 37% of Pro/ENGINEER
customers have migrated to the new version.
    Total Windchill revenue in the first quarter was $42.9 million, which was
down 6% from the fourth quarter.  Windchill license revenue was $13.7 million,
compared with $16.1 million in the prior quarter.  Windchill Link solutions
license revenue represented 36% of overall Windchill license revenue, due in
part to lower revenue from upgrades to the Flex 3C package that includes both
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire and Windchill Link solutions.
    "During the quarter, we won several important, competitive deals that
underscore PTC's leadership position in the PLM space," continued Harrison.
"By transforming our product and service offerings into an integral product
development system that is easier to use and implement, we have significantly
improved our ability to help customers create value through product
development initiatives."
    In the first quarter, PTC received orders from leading manufacturing
organizations such as Airbus Industrie, Boeing, Bosch, Boston Scientific,
Deere & Co., Hino Motors, Itochu Techno-Science Corporation, Nypro Inc., the
U.S. Army, and Volkswagen.  Additionally, orders from our reseller channel
resulted in $13.4 million in license revenue during the quarter, a 45%
sequential increase.

    Second Quarter 2004 Financial Outlook
    PTC's revenue forecast for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 is between
$150 million and $160 million.  As a result of the continued execution of
PTC's cost reduction plan, the Company expects to incur a restructuring charge
of approximately $15 million in the second quarter.  Net loss per share is
expected to be between $0.05 and $0.09.
