PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 4, 2010--ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS), today announced third quarter 2010 results with total revenue up 9% as compared to Q3 2009 while non-GAAP net income increased 15%. Year-to-date revenue and non-GAAP net income are up 11% and 20%, respectively, compared to the first nine months of 2009. Non-GAAP earnings per share increased 13% for the quarter and 18% for the first nine months of 2010.
Commenting on the Company’s third quarter 2010 performance, Jim Cashman, ANSYS president & CEO stated, “Our Q3 performance reflects our resiliency despite pockets of customer confidence issues regarding the macro-environment. We continue to see healthy growth in our paid-up license and maintenance bases, as well as across our major product lines. We have a strong balance sheet, record cash flows, solid fundamentals and a disciplined team that continues to execute. Our operating performance is a testimony to our belief that engineering simulation solutions remain a high priority for our expanding customer base. The business pressures on our customers to deliver innovative, high-quality products to market with fewer resources are intense. With the upcoming release of ANSYS® 13.0, our product portfolio is robust and we believe we are well-positioned to deliver long-term value to our customers and stockholders.”
ANSYS' third quarter 2010 financial results are presented below.

Commentary Concerning Impact of Subsidiary Merger Activities
To improve the effectiveness of the Company’s operations in Japan, during the third quarter of 2010, the Company completed the merger of its Japan subsidiaries. The income tax impact of this merger transaction is expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s net income, diluted earnings per share and cash flows in future periods. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s operating cash flow was increased by approximately $11 million related to a reduction in income taxes paid. The merger transaction did not impact the Company’s net income or diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2010.
The Company expects the merger transaction to impact its cash flows, net income and earnings per share as follows:
Fourth Quarter 2010 Cash Flow: Negative impact of $58 to $63 million
Fourth Quarter 2010 Net Income: Positive impact of $1.9 - $2.0 million
Fourth Quarter 2010 Diluted EPS: Positive impact of $0.02
2011 Cash Flow: Positive impact of $38 to $42 million
2011 Net Income: Positive impact of $7 to $8 million
2011 Diluted EPS: Positive impact of $0.07 to $0.08
The ranges reflected above are included below in the Company’s 2010 and 2011 financial outlook in the section titled, “Management's Remaining 2010 and Preliminary 2011 Financial Outlook.”
The Company also expects that this transaction will positively impact cash flows and net income in 2012 – 2015 as follows:
Impact on Operating Cash Flow | Impact on Net Income | |||||||||||||
| 2012 | $14 million - $16 million | $7 million - $8 million | ||||||||||||
| 2013 | $14 million - $16 million | $7 million - $8 million | ||||||||||||
| 2014 | $14 million - $16 million | $7 million - $8 million | ||||||||||||
| 2015 | $10 million - $12 million | $5 million - $6 million | ||||||||||||
Management's Remaining 2010 and Preliminary 2011 Financial Outlook

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company provides non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as supplemental measures to GAAP regarding the Company's operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A detailed explanation of each of the adjustments to such financial measures is described below. This press release also contains a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate the Company's historical and prospective financial performance as well as its performance relative to its competitors, (b) to set internal sales targets and spending budgets, (c) to allocate resources, (d) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting, (e) to assess financial discipline over operational expenditures and (f) as an important factor in determining variable compensation for management and its employees. In addition, many financial analysts that follow our Company focus on and publish both historical results and future projections based on non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that it is in the best interest of our investors to provide this information to analysts so that they accurately report the non-GAAP financial information. Moreover, investors have historically requested, and the Company has historically reported, these non-GAAP financial measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable information with past reports of financial results.
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of the Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
The adjustments to these non-GAAP financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Purchase accounting for deferred revenue and its related tax impact. ANSYS acquired Ansoft Corporation on July 31, 2008. In accordance with the fair value provisions applicable to the accounting for business combinations, acquired deferred revenue of approximately $7.5 million was recorded on the opening balance sheet, which was approximately $23.5 million lower than the historical carrying value. Although this purchase accounting requirement had no impact on the Company's business or cash flow, it adversely impacted the Company's reported GAAP revenue primarily for the first twelve months post-acquisition. In order to provide investors with financial information that facilitates comparison of both historical and future results, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial adjustment is useful to investors because it allows investors to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (b) to compare past and future reports of financial results of the Company as the revenue reduction related to acquired deferred revenue will not recur when related annual lease licenses and software maintenance contracts are renewed in future periods.
Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions and its related tax impact. The Company incurs amortization of intangibles, included in its GAAP presentation of amortization expense, related to various acquisitions it has made in recent years. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these costs are fixed at the time of an acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, management does not consider these expenses for purposes of evaluating the performance of the Company during the applicable time period after the acquisition, and it excludes such expenses when making decisions to allocate resources. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (b) compare past reports of financial results of the Company as the Company has historically reported these non-GAAP financial measures.
Stock-based compensation expense and its related tax impact. The Company incurs expense related to stock-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of cost of software licenses, cost of maintenance and service, research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense. Although stock-based compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed as a form of compensation, management excludes these expenses for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company. Specifically, the Company excludes stock-based compensation during its annual budgeting process and its quarterly and annual assessments of the Company's and management's performance. The annual budgeting process is the primary mechanism whereby the Company allocates resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. Additionally, the annual review by the board of directors during which it compares the Company's historical business model and profitability as it relates to the planned business model and profitability for the forthcoming year excludes the impact of stock-based compensation. In evaluating the performance of senior management and department managers, charges related to stock-based compensation are excluded from expenditure and profitability results. In fact, the Company records stock-based compensation expense into a stand-alone cost center for which no single operational manager is responsible or accountable. In this way, management is able to review on a period-to-period basis each manager's performance and assess financial discipline over operational expenditures without the effect of stock-based compensation. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to (a) evaluate the Company's operating results and the effectiveness of the methodology used by management to review the Company's operating results, and (b) review historical comparability in its financial reporting, as well as comparability with competitors' operating results.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as listed below:
