Section 2 - Financial Information

Item 2.05.    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On January 8, 2013, Parametric Technology Corporation committed to a plan to further restructure its workforce and related facilities. The restructuring furthers PTC’s commitment to enhance long-term profitability and is a component of PTC’s previously announced plan to achieve non-GAAP EPS of $1.70 to $1.80 for fiscal year 2013. PTC will record a restructuring charge of approximately $15 million for its second fiscal quarter ending March 30, 2013, of which approximately $14.5 million is attributable to termination benefits and approximately $0.5 million is attributable to facility consolidations. The restructuring will result in cash expenditures of approximately $15 million during fiscal year 2013. The timing of the reductions in force will vary by country based on local legal requirements, but PTC expects that substantially all affected employees will be separated from PTC by the end of the second fiscal quarter. While PTC expects the restructuring to be substantially completed in the second fiscal quarter of 2013, the full impact of the expense reductions will not be realized until the third fiscal quarter of 2013.


Section 7 – Regulation FD
