IMPORTANT RISK FACTORS REGARDING FUTURE RESULTS

Information we provide, including information contained in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, or by our spokespersons from time to time, may contain
forward-looking statements about projected financial performance, market and
industry segment growth, product development, and commercialization, or other
aspects of our future operations. These statements are based on the
assumptions and expectations of our management at the time such statements are
made. We caution you that our performance (and, therefore, any forward-looking
statement) is subject to risks and uncertainties. Various important factors,
including but not limited to those discussed here, may cause our future
results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking
statement. Important information about these factors and the basis for these
assumptions is contained in "Important Risk Factors Affecting Results"
included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in the 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders, which
section is filed as part of Exhibit 13.1 herewith and incorporated herein by
reference.

PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

GENERAL

Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), incorporated in Massachusetts in
1985, develops, markets, and supports a comprehensive suite of integrated
product development and information management software. Our mechanical design
automation product family automates product development from conceptual design
through production. Our enterprise information management solutions accelerate
the flow of product data from engineering to other critical areas of an
enterprise. Our solutions are complemented by the strength and experience of
our professional services organization, which provides training, consulting,
and support to customers worldwide.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

In January 1998, we merged with Computervision Corporation, a leading
provider of product design and development software and services, by issuing
11.6 million shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
common stock of Computervision. The merger is intended to qualify as a tax-
free reorganization and has been accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Accordingly, we have restated our consolidated financial statements to include
the accounts and operations of Computervision for all years presented in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise indicated, this discussion and
the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial
statements (Notes) reflect that restatement.

The Computervision merger strengthened our customer base, particularly in
the automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries, and broadened our
strategic business relationships with companies such as Airbus Industrie, BMW
Rolls-Royce, Fiat, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Rolls-
Royce Aerospace. The Computervision merger also provided an opportunity for us
to expand our data management technology and infrastructure, and added depth
and experience to our worldwide professional services organization.

In June 1998, we acquired ICEM Technologies, a division of Control Data
Systems, Inc., for approximately $41 million in cash. Headquartered in
Frankfurt, Germany, ICEM provides advanced surfacing and reverse engineering
software tools used by body and styling engineers in the automotive and
aerospace industries. We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase, and we
included the operating results of ICEM in our results from the date of its
acquisition.


3
In October 1998, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of InPart Design,
Inc. by issuing 2.4 million shares of common stock. InPart, located in
Saratoga, CA, provides a comprehensive library of standard mechanical parts
over the Internet that helps manufacturers improve product development cycles
and reduce component expenses. Because we share InPart's vision regarding the
future of Web-based enterprise applications, the acquisition provided us an
opportunity to strengthen our development and technical expertise in this
area. We will account for the acquisition as a purchase.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE (computer-aided design, manufacturing and
engineering) software solutions encompass a broad spectrum of engineering
disciplines essential to the development of virtually all manufactured
products, ranging from consumer products to jet aircraft. Manufacturers
compete on the basis of cost, time to market, and product performance
criteria, which are significantly affected by the quality and length of the
product development process. Our mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE products, including
Pro/ENGINEER(R) and CADDS(R)5, and our functional simulation software,
Pro/MECHANICA(R), offer high-performance, fully integrated solutions which
enable end-users to reduce their time to market and manufacturing costs for
their products and to improve product quality by easily evaluating multiple
design alternatives. We believe that our mechanical design automation
solutions offer better price/performance, greater functionality, and more
complete integration of multiple engineering disciplines than other available
mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE products.

The newest member of the Pro/ENGINEER family, Pro/DESKTOP(TM), is an entry
level, Windows(R)-native product development tool. Pro/DESKTOP offers an
easily accessible, innovative design system that, integrated with
Pro/ENGINEER, provides customers a completely scalable, interoperable suite of
associative design solutions that meet the needs of users throughout the
product development continuum. This cross-organization suite gives our
customers the unique ability to engage a broader range of participants in the
product development process and to extend the use of their product information
assets throughout the enterprise.

Through our acquisition of ICEM Technologies, we have added a premier Class
A surface modeling product, ICEM Surf(TM), to our mechanical design automation
solutions. ICEM Surf is used in the automotive industry by nearly all major
manufacturers for modeling of high-quality, Class A surfaces as well as in the
industrial design, tool design, and consumer product markets.

In June 1998, we announced that our information management products,
Pro/INTRALINK(R) and Optegra(R), would be complemented by Windchill(TM), our
new product and process management solution. Windchill uses a unique, Web-
centric approach to solving today's mission-critical product and process
management challenges. By capitalizing on the inherent benefits of the Web
manageability, usability, and low cost implementation Windchill offers
customers a significant advantage in their efforts to improve their product
differentiation and organizational effectiveness. Windchill delivers a common
infrastructure that helps companies achieve sustained competitive advantage
through more effective product life cycle management. The Windchill product
currently comprises Windchill Foundation(TM), an information framework with a
consistent architecture that includes document management, life cycle
management, workflow, and vaulting capabilities; Windchill PDM(TM), which
includes applications that address product structure, alternate views, and
change management; and Windchill Information Modeler(TM), an information
modeling and development environment.

As a result of our acquisition of InPart Design, Inc., we now offer
DesignSuite(TM), an Internet-based library of three dimensional CAD parts.
DesignSuite contains two and three dimensional geometry, technical
specifications, and component selection software that allows mechanical
engineers to download more than 250,000 certified part designs via the
Internet, saving valuable time and expense.

The technology solutions offered by our mechanical design and information
management products are enhanced by our professional services organization
(PSO), which is committed to providing the expertise to meet the
implementation, education, and technical support requirements of every type of
company and user--in eight

4
major support centers and more than 50 educational facilities worldwide. From
developing Pro/ENGINEER deployment plans, to creating customized training
courses, to implementing Web-based, enterprise-wide, product information
systems, our PSO works with customers to accelerate their migration to a more
efficient, collaborative development environment.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE industry is characterized by rapid technological
advances. Our ability to develop new products rapidly is facilitated by the
modular structure of our software code, which enables functional capabilities
used in existing products to be accessed and utilized by new software modules,
thereby reducing the amount of new code required to develop additional
products. The major benefit of this approach is rapid development of new
functionality. Our Windchill product line expands the breadth of our offerings
into enterprise product information and process management. This developing
industry is characterized by new technologies, including Internet-centric,
Java-based, object-oriented software. The Windchill product depends upon these
new technologies as well as certain third-party technologies.

We work closely with our customers to define improvements and enhancements
to be integrated into our products. Using this approach, customers become
involved in the product design process to validate feasibility and to
influence functionality early in the product's life-cycle. In addition, our
Cooperative Software Program (CSP) provides the mechanism and environment to
facilitate the integration of complementary products with our product lines.
Through our open software toolkit, CSP members can build tightly integrated
solutions that satisfy the various requirements of our customers.

Our research and development expenses were $79.6 million in fiscal 1996,
$93.3 million in fiscal 1997, and $93.4 million in fiscal 1998.

SALES AND MARKETING

We derived most of our revenue from products distributed directly to our
end-user customers with the remainder offered through third-party
distributors. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in
any of the last three fiscal years.

In the fourth quarter of 1998, we initiated a worldwide reorganization of
our sales force and PSO. This initiative, which was implemented in October
1998, was designed to refocus our sales and services organizations on major
accounts, primary accounts, and Windchill accounts. As part of this
initiative, we signed a multi-year agreement with Rand A Technology
Corporation (Rand) to become the master distributor of our core products to
small businesses. This agreement gives Rand the rights to distribute certain
CAD/CAM/CAE products and their related maintenance services to the small
business segment throughout North America and Europe.

In August 1998, we repackaged and repriced our core Pro/ENGINEER product
line. We now offer a base package called Pro/ENGINEER-Foundation which can be
augmented with up to 24 functionally defined extensions to accommodate a full
range of process automation and complexity requirements from an individual
user to an entire enterprise.

Information about our foreign and domestic operations and export sales, and
the risks thereof, may be found in Note M and the section entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" of our 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders, included in Exhibit
13.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.

5
COMPETITION

There are an increasing number of competitive mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE
products. We compete most directly with products developed by Dassault and
marketed by Dassault and IBM, products marketed by Unigraphics Solutions, and
products developed and marketed by Structural Dynamics Research Corporation.
Our Windchill product line expands the breadth of our offerings into
enterprise product information and process management. We are a relatively new
entrant into this area and may be competing with more mature products that may
have an established customer base as well as greater functionality.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

Our software products are proprietary to PTC. We protect our intellectual
property rights by relying on copyrights, trademarks, patents, and common law
safeguards, including trade secret protection, as well as restrictions on
disclosures and transferability contained in our agreements with other
parties. Despite these measures, there can be no assurance that the laws of
all relevant jurisdictions will afford the same protections to our products
and intellectual property as the laws of the United States. The software
industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding copyright, patent,
and other intellectual property rights. While we have not, to date, had any
significant claims of this type asserted against us, there can be no assurance
that someone will not assert such claims against us with respect to existing
or future products or that, if asserted, we would prevail in such claims. In
the event a lawsuit of this type is filed, it could result in significant
expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management
personnel, whether or not we ultimately prevail.

We believe that, due to the rapid pace of innovation within our industry,
factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel are
more important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership
position within the industry than are the various legal protections
surrounding our technology. We believe that our products and technology do not
infringe any existing proprietary rights of others, although there can be no
assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims in the
future.

Parametric Technology Corporation, Pro/ENGINEER, Pro/MECHANICA,
Pro/INTRALINK, CADDS, and Optegra are registered trademarks of PTC or our
subsidiaries in the United States and/or other countries. Parametric
Technology, PTC, the PTC logo, and all product names in the PTC product family
are trademarks of PTC or our subsidiaries in the United States and other
countries. All other companies and products referenced herein have trademarks
or registered trademarks of their respective holders.

BACKLOG

We generally ship our products within 30 days after acceptance of a customer
purchase order and execution of a software license agreement. Accordingly, we
do not believe that our backlog at any particular point in time is indicative
of future sales levels.

EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 1998, we had 4,911 employees, including 2,440 in sales,
marketing, and support activities; 1,078 in customer support, training, and
consulting; 435 in management, finance, and administration; and 958 in product
development. Of these employees, 2,280 were located throughout the United
States and 2,631 were located in foreign countries.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES

Our executive offices are located in approximately 302,000 square feet of
office space in Waltham, Massachusetts. We also lease 229 offices in the
United States and internationally through our foreign subsidiaries,
predominately as sales and/or support offices and for development work. Of our
total 2,146,000

6
square feet of leased facilities, 1,387,000 are located in the U.S. and
759,000 are located outside the U.S. Several of our leased facilities were
acquired in our merger with Computervision, including 696,000 square feet of
office space in Bedford, Massachusetts. Of the leased facilities acquired in
the Computervision merger, approximately 273,000 square feet are vacant. As
described in Notes B and H, certain of these facilities have been included in
our restructuring provision. We are seeking alternate uses for such facilities
including subleasing and early lease terminations. We believe that our
facilities are adequate for our present needs, but will continue to evaluate
the need for additional space as the requirements of our business change.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Certain class action lawsuits were filed in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1998 against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors
in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts claiming violations of the federal
securities laws based on alleged misrepresentations regarding our anticipated
revenue and earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. These actions seek
unspecified damages. We believe the claims are without merit, and we intend to
defend them vigorously. We cannot predict the ultimate resolution of these
actions at this time, and there can be no assurance that the litigation will
not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of
operations.

We are also subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in
the ordinary course of business. We currently believe that resolving these
matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or
our results of operations.

ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the last
quarter of fiscal 1998.
