ANSYS Named to S&P Global Challengers List

ANSYS, Inc. announced that it has been named to Standard & Poor's prestigious annual Global Challengers List, a roster of mid-sized companies that show the "highest growth characteristics." ANSYS was one of 13 U.S. information technology companies recently named to the global list of 300 strong performers.

Every year, the S&P Global Challengers List designates 300 mid-size companies that show the highest growth characteristics along dimensions encompassing intrinsic and extrinsic growth. These companies are expected to emerge as challengers to the world's leading companies. To be considered for the Global Challengers designation, a company must have a market value between $1 billion and $5 billion, and must have shown three-year share price gains, earnings per share growth, sales growth and employee growth in the last three years. The companies, broken down into nine sectors, are examined by Standard & Poor's using the company's public listing in its home country.

"This designation from Standard & Poor's labels ANSYS as 'likely to grow,' and 'offering stability as well as rapid growth opportunities.' It is indeed an honor to be among the 300 companies on the list," said Jim Cashman, president and CEO of ANSYS, Inc. "It verifies that our long-established strategy of providing excellent value to our customers via best-in-class engineering simulation solutions is the right one for us. It has enabled our company to grow and provide exciting career opportunities for our employees, and it has delivered superior returns to our stockholders."
