PTC Reports Fiscal 2003 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results

      -- Fourth Quarter Revenue and EPS in line with Company Targets --

    NEEDHAM, Mass., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the
product development company(TM), today reported revenue totaling $163.7
million for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with $188.6
million for the same period last year.  Net loss was $38.0 million, or $0.14
per share, compared to a net loss of $41.8 million, or $0.16 per share, for
the year-ago period.  During the fourth quarter of 2003, PTC recorded
restructuring and other charges of $15.8 million, compared to restructuring
and other charges of $6.7 million in the year-ago period.  Cash and
investments were $205 million at the end of the fourth quarter.
    For the fiscal year, revenue totaled $671.9 million, compared to $742.0
million for fiscal 2002.  Net loss was $98.3 million, or $0.37 per share,
compared to net loss of $93.6 million, or $0.36 per share, in fiscal 2002.
    "We were pleased with our execution this quarter, as we met our revenue
targets while implementing an aggressive cost reduction program," said C.
Richard Harrison, president and chief executive officer.  "In the fourth
quarter, we achieved a sequential improvement in total license revenue, strong
Windchill sales, and continued success in the adoption of Pro/ENGINEER
Wildfire by our installed base.  In addition, we closed transactions in the
fourth quarter with key customers such as AVL List, BMW AG, Ingersoll-Rand,
Knorr-Bremse, Manitowoc Cranes, Matsushita Electric Works, Siemens
Transportation Systems, Toyota Motor Corporation, and the U.S. Department of
Energy's Nuclear Weapons Complex."
    Total Windchill revenue in the fourth quarter was $45.7 million, up 10%
sequentially.  Windchill license revenue was $16.2 million, up 53%
sequentially, with stronger sales across both Windchill Link solutions and
foundation software.  Windchill Link solutions license revenue grew 50%
sequentially and represented 53% of overall Windchill license revenue.
    Total design solutions revenue for the fourth quarter was $118.0 million,
which was down 4% sequentially.  Design solutions license revenue was $33.7
million, compared with $38.1 million in the third quarter.  Although high-end
new seat revenue was soft in the fourth quarter, PTC saw sequential
improvements in both design solutions upgrade revenue and revenue from low-end
seats.
    "In fiscal 2003, we delivered excellent results in key areas of our
strategy with new, easy-to-use, interoperable products, our diversified
reseller channel, and strategic customer wins such as Boeing and Toyota,"
continued Harrison.  "And with much of the investment in our business
transformation behind us, we announced a new cost reduction program that will
remove $120 million of annualized expense throughout fiscal 2004.
    "All of these efforts strongly position us for fiscal 2004," concluded
Harrison.  "We have never had a stronger product line-up, clearer value
proposition, sharper focus on our target market, or more consistent
methodology to help our customers succeed.  Our entire organization is aligned
behind our strategic goals to improve both customer and shareholder value, and
we intend to deliver an operating profit in fiscal 2004, excluding
restructuring charges."

    First Quarter 2004 Financial Outlook
    PTC's revenue forecast for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 is between
$150 million and $160 million.  Additionally, PTC's cost reduction program is
on track, and we expect to incur a restructuring charge of $20 million to $25
million in the first quarter.  Net loss per share is expected to be between
$0.09 and $0.13.
