PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a year reflect our fiscal year, which ends on September 30. The year-end consolidated balance sheet is derived from our audited financial statements.
Effective on February 28, 2006, we implemented a reverse stock split pursuant to which every five shares of issued and outstanding common stock of PTC were automatically combined into two issued and outstanding shares of common stock without any change in the par value of such shares. Except for par values, all references in these financial statements and notes to the number of shares of common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options and to such per share amounts have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.
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 customer receivable is included in other current assets. Billed but uncollected maintenance-related amounts included in other current assets at December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 were $56.6 million and $50.0 million, respectively.
The results of operations for the three months ended December 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the remainder of the fiscal year.
2. Restructuring and Other Charges
There were no restructuring and other charges recorded in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006.
The following table summarizes restructuring accrual activity for the three months ended December 30, 2006:
                         
    Employee     Facility        
    Severance     Closures        
    and Related     and Other        
    Benefits     Costs     Total  
    (in thousands)  
Balance, September 30, 2006
  $ 1,084     $ 21,293     $ 22,377  
Cash disbursements
    (142 )     (1,399 )     (1,541 )
Foreign exchange impact
    32       75       107  
 
                 
Balance, December 30, 2006
  $ 974     $ 19,969     $ 20,943  
 
                 
The accrual for facility closures and related costs is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, and the accrual for employee severance and related benefits is included in accrued compensation and benefits. As of December 30, 2006, of the $20.9 million remaining in accrued restructuring charges, $8.1 million was included in current liabilities and $12.8 million was included in other long-term liabilities, principally for facility costs to be paid out through 2014.
In determining the amount of the facilities accrual, we are required to estimate such factors as future vacancy rates, the time required to sublet properties and sublease rates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly based on known real estate market conditions and the credit-worthiness of subtenants, and may result in revisions to established facility reserves. We had accrued $19.4 million as of December 30, 2006 related to excess facilities (compared to $20.7 million at September 30, 2006), representing gross lease commitments with agreements expiring at various dates through 2014 of approximately $44.4 million, net of committed and estimated sublease income of approximately $24.5 million and a present value factor of $0.5

million. We have entered into signed sublease arrangements for approximately $21.6 million, with the remaining $2.9 million based on future estimated sublease arrangements, including $2.1 million for space currently available for sublease.
3. Stock-based Compensation
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)) on July 3, 2005, effective with the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award using an option pricing model. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
Our equity incentive plans provide 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. Until July 2005, we generally granted stock options. For those options, the option exercise price was typically the fair market value at the date of grant and they generally vested over four years and expired ten years from the date of grant. Since the date that we adopted SFAS 123(R), we have awarded restricted stock and restricted stock units as the principal equity incentive awards, including certain performance-based awards that are earned based on achieving performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors on or prior to the grant date. Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right to receive one share of our common stock. Our equity incentive plans are described more fully in Note J to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
We made the following restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006:
                                 
    Restricted Stock     Restricted Stock Units  
Grant Period   Performance-based     Time-based     Performance-based     Time-based  
    (Number of Shares)     (Number of Units)  
First quarter of 2007
    495,768             57,380       347,827  
First quarter of 2006
    515,617       346,800       321,821       802,137  
Restricted Stock
Performance-based. In the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, we granted to our executive officers performance-based shares that are earned based on achievement of certain company operating performance criteria specified by the Compensation Committee on or prior to the date of grant. With respect to the 2007 grant, if the specified performance criteria are achieved in full, the restrictions on approximately 251,235 shares will lapse on the later of November 9, 2007 or the date the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which the performance criteria have been achieved, and the restrictions on the remaining 244,533 shares will lapse in substantially equal amounts on November 9, 2008 and 2009, provided that the holder of the award remains employed by us at those dates. With respect to the 2006 grant, because the specified performance criteria were achieved in full, the restrictions on 284,417 of the shares lapsed on November 9, 2006 and the restrictions on the remaining shares will lapse in equal installments on November 9, 2007 and 2008, provided that the holder of the award remains employed by us at those dates.
Time-based. In the first quarter of 2006, 346,800 shares were granted to our executive officers. The restrictions on one third of these shares lapsed on November 9, 2006 and those on the remaining shares will lapse in substantially equal installments on November 9, 2007 and 2008, provided that the holder of the award remains employed by us at those dates.
Restricted Stock Units
Performance-based. In the first quarter of 2007, 57,380 performance-based restricted stock units were granted to employees in connection with our employee management incentive plans for the 2007 fiscal year and will vest on the later of November 9, 2007 or the date the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which the performance criteria have been achieved, provided that the holder of the award remains employed by us at those dates. In the first quarter of 2006, 321,821 performance-based restricted stock units were granted to employees in connection with our employee management incentive plans for the 2006 fiscal year and were earned in full on November 9, 2006 based on achievement of specified performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee.
Time-based. In the first quarter of 2007, 347,827 restricted stock units, which vest in three substantially equal installments on November 3, 2007, 2008 and 2009, were granted to employees. In the first quarter of 2006, 802,137 time-based restricted stock units were granted to employees, which vest in three substantially equal installments on November 9, 2006, 2007 and 2008, provided that the holder of the award remains employed by us at those dates.
With respect to all types of equity awards, in the first quarter of 2007, the restrictions on 635,129 restricted shares lapsed and 948,019 restricted stock units vested. The fair value of restricted shares and restricted stock units granted in the first quarter of 2007 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 the first quarter of 2007 was $18.61.
The following table shows the classification of compensation expense recorded for our stock-based awards as reflected in our consolidated statements of operations:

Total stock-based compensation expense
  $ 8,630     $ 9,664  
 
           
4. Common Stock and 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 unrecognized compensation expense and any tax benefits as additional proceeds.
The following table presents the calculation for both basic and diluted EPS:
                 
    Three months ended  
    December 30,     December 31,  
    2006     2005  
    (in thousands,  
    except per share data)  
Net income
  $ 15,153     $ 7,516  
 
           
 
Weighted average shares outstanding—Basic
    111,830       109,485  
Dilutive effect of employee stock options, restricted shares and restricted stock units
    5,453       3,186  
 
           
Weighted average shares outstanding—Diluted
    117,283       112,671  
 
           
Earnings per share—Basic
  $ 0.14     $ 0.07  
Earnings per share—Diluted
  $ 0.13     $ 0.07  
Stock options to purchase 3.5 million shares and 4.4 million shares were outstanding for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the exercise prices per share, plus the tax benefits and unamortized compensation relating thereto, were greater than the average market price of our common stock for those periods. These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
5. Acquisitions
ITEDO
On October 18, 2006, we acquired ITEDO Software GmbH and ITEDO Software LLC (together, ITEDO), headquartered in Germany, for approximately $16.7 million in cash. In addition, we agreed to pay up to $0.5 million of additional cash consideration if specified product integration targets are achieved within three years of the acquisition date. ITEDO provided software solutions for creating and maintaining technical illustrations to customers in multiple discrete manufacturing vertical markets such as automotive, aerospace and defense, and industrial equipment. ITEDO had approximately 30 employees and generated revenue of approximately $5 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2006. Results of operations for ITEDO have been included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations since October 19, 2006. Our results of operations prior to this acquisition, if presented

on a pro forma basis as if the companies had been combined since the beginning of fiscal 2006, would not differ materially from our reported results.
This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending the final valuation of assets and liabilities acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2006 resulted in an increase in goodwill of $11.8 million, an increase in intangible assets of $5.6 million (including purchased software of $4.7 million, customer relationships of $0.7 million, and other intangible assets of $0.2 million, which are being amortized over estimated average useful lives of 4 to 10 years) and an increase in other net liabilities of $0.7 million. The goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.
Mathsoft
On April 28, 2006, we acquired Mathsoft Corporate Holdings, Inc., including its wholly owned subsidiary Mathsoft Engineering & Education, Inc. (together, Mathsoft). Mathsoft’s primary product was Mathcad ® software, which helps engineering organizations create, automate, document and reuse engineering calculations in the product development process, and in other mathematics-driven processes. Mathsoft had approximately 120 employees in offices primarily in the U.S. and Europe and generated revenue of approximately $20 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2006. Results of operations for Mathsoft have been included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations since April 29, 2006. Our results of operations prior to this acquisition, if presented on a pro forma basis as if the companies had been combined since the beginning of fiscal 2006, would not differ materially from our reported results.
DENC and Cadtrain
In the first quarter of 2006, we acquired DENC AG and substantially all of the assets of Cadtrain, Inc. for an aggregate of $9.9 million in cash. In addition, we agreed to pay up to an aggregate of $2.0 million of additional cash consideration if specified targets, including revenue and customer retention results, were achieved within one year of the acquisition dates. As of September 30, 2006, the specified targets of the DENC contingent purchase price arrangement were met and related payments of $0.5 million were recorded as additional goodwill. In the first quarter of 2007, the specified targets of the Cadtrain contingent purchase price arrangement were met and related payments of $1.5 million were recorded as additional goodwill.
6. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
We have two reportable segments: (1) software products and (2) services. As of December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the aggregate attributable to our software products reportable segment was $315.9 million and $300.9 million, respectively, and attributable to our services reportable segment was $27.5 million and $26.2 million, respectively. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reporting segment below its carrying value. We completed our annual impairment review as of July 1, 2006 and concluded that no impairment charge was required as of that date. Since that date, 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.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS 158). For fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan), generally measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation, as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS 158 also generally requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. In addition, SFAS 158 requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements of additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations. Upon initial application of SFAS 158 and subsequently, an employer should continue to apply the provisions in SFAS 87, 88 and 106 in measuring plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic benefit cost. Because our significant defined benefit pension plans are frozen and the accumulated benefit obligation equals the projected benefit obligation, we have already recorded in other long-term liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income the minimum pension liability. As such, the adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure relative to uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption encouraged. We will adopt FIN 48 in fiscal 2008. We are currently evaluating whether or not the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 in fiscal 2009 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 states that registrants should use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating materiality of a misstatement. The interpretations in SAB 108 contain guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach as well as provide tr
