ML Research Comment: "Parametric Technology Corp. The Song Remains The Same:"

NEUTRAL
Long Term BUY
Reason for Report: Quarterly pre-announcement

Jay Vleeschhouwer
First Vice President

Investment Highlights:

 Yesterday we lowered our intermediate
opinion from Buy to Neutral, following PTC?s
mid-day announcement of an expected
shortfall in 2Q00 results.
 Revenues for both Windchill and the base
MDA business will be well below our forecast.
We have lowered our estimates for the balance
of FY00 and for FY01.
 What remains to be seen is what steps PTC
will take to restore sales and distribution
effectiveness, and perhaps other cost and
organizational changes, in order to enable
more predictable growth and deal closure.

Fundamental Highlights:

 PTC announced that revenues would be about
15% below consensus, or about $228 million,
with breakeven earnings or a small loss. We
had been estimating $265 million and $0.09 a
share. Windchill revenues were put at about
$40 million, compared with our $55 million
estimate, suggesting MDA revenues of about
$188 million, down 25% year/year.
 We have revised FY00E to $998 million and
$0.18 a share from $1.14 billion and $0.49 a
share.
