Exhibit 99.1 Investor Relations Contact: Public Relations Contact: Meredith Mendola Joe Gavaghan 781-370-6151 781-370-5074 mmendola@ptc.com jgavaghan@ptc.com PTC Reports Fiscal 2004 First Quarter Results - Company Achieves Operating Profit, Excluding Restructuring Charges; Net Loss Narrows 30% Sequentially - NEEDHAM, Mass., January 21, 2004 - 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.
