Section 2 - Financial Information

Item 2.02.                   Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 25, 2012, Parametric Technology Corporation issued a press release announcing results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011.  PTC also posted a copy of its supplemental prepared remarks with respect to the completed quarter on the Investor Relations section of its website at www.ptc.com.  A copy of the press release and a copy of the prepared remarks are furnished herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.

Item 2.05.                      Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On January 19, 2012, Parametric Technology Corporation adopted a plan to restructure its workforce in part to enhance profitability and in part in connection with an organizational realignment of its business.  PTC expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $20 million in its second fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012 attributable to termination benefits, which will result in cash expenditures of approximately the same amount.  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 end of the second fiscal quarter.
