ANSYS, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

•  Announces Results for Another Very Strong Quarter

•  Closes Ansoft Acquisition and Provides Consolidated Guidance for 2008

ANSYS, Inc. announced solid second quarter non-GAAP operating results. Additionally, on July 31, 2008, ANSYS successfully completed its acquisition of Ansoft Corporation.

Commenting on the second quarter performance, Jim Cashman, ANSYS President and CEO stated, "This quarter's results accentuate the momentum of recent quarters and the ANSYS multi-year trajectory. Even amid various geographic economic concerns, our diversified global reach, our resilient business model and our technical innovations continue to drive customer demand. With global competition, the growing need for energy efficiencies, and stricter environmental and regulatory mandates, customers are increasingly using simulation to realize their goals for innovative product development and value creation. These factors, coupled with the dedication and focus of the ANSYS team, continue to enable us to deliver on our commitments."

ANSYS' second quarter and year-to-date 2008 financial results are available here. The non-GAAP results exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation and acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets. The 2007 non-GAAP results also exclude the effects of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue. Non-GAAP and GAAP results reflect:

Total non-GAAP revenue of $111.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $92.3 million in the second quarter of 2007; total non-GAAP revenue of $220.8 million in the first six months of 2008 as compared to $181.9 million in the first six months of 2007; total GAAP revenue of $111.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $92.2 million in the second quarter of 2007; total GAAP revenue of $220.8 million in the first six months of 2008 as compared to $180.1 million in the first six months of 2007;

The non-GAAP financial results highlighted above, and the non-GAAP financial outlook for 2008 discussed below, represent non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the appropriate GAAP measures, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and for the 2008 financial outlook, is included in the condensed financial information included in this release.

"Compared to a year ago, this quarter's revenues increased over 20% while non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 40%. Our continuing focus on our customers and our technology has produced record cash flows from operations of $55.1 million for the second quarter and $92.3 million for the first six months of 2008, which has allowed us to pay off the balance of the Fluent debt on June 30, 2008, well ahead of the 2011 contractual payment date. Based on our first half performance, as well as the closing of the Ansoft acquisition on July 31, 2008, we are updating our third quarter and 2008 full year guidance to include the impact of the combined operations beginning August 1, 2008," said Cashman.
