Exhibit 99.1 ANSYS Delivers Another Quarter of Solid Revenue and Strong Earnings SOUTHPOINTE, Pa., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced third quarter 2003 results. ANSYS' third quarter and year-to-date GAAP results include: - Total revenue of $28.0 million, as compared to $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2002; total revenue of $80.3 million in the first nine months of 2003 as compared to $65.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002; - Diluted earnings per share of $0.33 as compared to $0.26 for the third quarter of 2002; diluted earnings per share of $0.89 through September 30, 2003 as compared to $0.81 for the first nine months of 2002; and - Cash flows from operations of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2003 and $28.7 million in the first nine months of 2003. Excluding the adverse impact on reported software license revenue of purchase accounting adjustments related to the Company's February 2003 acquisition of CFX and acquisition-related amortization (see discussion below), ANSYS' third quarter and year-to-date adjusted (non-GAAP) results include: - Total adjusted revenue of $28.9 million, as compared to $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2002; total adjusted revenue of $82.7 million in the first nine months of 2003 as compared to $65.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002; - An overall adjusted operating profit margin, excluding total amortization, of 34% as compared to 29% for the third quarter of 2002; and an overall adjusted operating profit margin, excluding total amortization, of 31% as compared to 30% for the first nine months of 2002; and - Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.41 as compared to $0.28 for the third quarter of 2002; adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.10 compared to $0.86 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. ANSYS President and CEO, Jim Cashman, commenting on the current quarter's solid business performance, said, "The third quarter was a very positive quarter for us on a number of important initiatives. We continued to make tremendous strides in integrating our recently acquired CFX product line, which contributed to our ability to post record third quarter revenue and earnings results. Additionally, we made important progress in advancing our leadership in technology, which we believe has been a key driver to both the continued penetration into our extensive installed base, as well as our ability to expand into new markets." Cashman added, "While we continue to focus on improving our sales productivity and execution in certain geographic regions, we believe that our financial results, coupled with our technology and market leadership, provide us with a strong platform from which we can continue to grow our business." The adjusted results highlighted above represent non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the appropriate GAAP measures is included in the condensed financial statements included in this release. Adjustments to Reported GAAP Financial Results - Purchase Accounting Adjustment for Acquired Deferred Revenue: As announced February 26, 2003, ANSYS acquired CFX for approximately $22 million in cash. In accordance with the fair value provisions of EITF 01-3 "Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree," acquired deferred software license revenue of approximately $4.8 million was recorded on the opening balance sheet, which was approximately $3.4 million lower than the historical carrying value. Although this purchase accounting requirement has no impact on the Company's business or cash flow, it adversely impacts the Company's reported GAAP software license revenue 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 and will continue to provide adjusted financial information, which excludes the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment, through this twelve-month period. - Acquisition Related Amortization: As previously discussed, the Company completed its recent acquisition of CFX in February 2003. Prior to that, the Company also acquired CADOE S.A. and ICEM CFD Engineering in November 2001 and August 2000, respectively. These acquisitions have all been accounted for as purchases, resulting in the recording of a significant amount of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. As a result of the amortization associated with intangible assets related to these acquisitions, ANSYS' quarterly and year-to-date financial results are not comparable with prior periods. To enable investors and other interested parties to compare 2003 financial results to historical and future periods, ANSYS is providing its 2003 third quarter and year-to-date reported GAAP results as well as financial results that have been adjusted for the impact of the items described above. Third Quarter 2003 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Reported GAAP Results ANSYS reported net income for the third quarter of $5.4 million, or $0.33 diluted earnings per share, based on 16.2 million weighted average shares outstanding. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, ANSYS reported net income of $4.1 million, or $0.26 diluted earnings per share, based on 15.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, ANSYS reported net income of $14.1 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.89, based on 15.8 million weighted average shares outstanding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, ANSYS reported net income of $12.7 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.81, based on 15.7 million weighted average shares outstanding. Cash and short-term investments at September 30, 2003 totaled $72.3 million and ANSYS remains debt free. Innovative Products Launched ANSYS continued its tradition of introducing innovative technologies designed to meet the ever-expanding needs of its customers and the diverse markets that it serves. The ability to model and simulate multiphysics-based systems and their manufacturing and operating conditions in the same familiar and unified graphical user interface has significant value to our customers in terms of simulation accuracy and reliability, time to market, cost, quality and innovations. These current product releases are highlighted by: Continued Technological Leadership: - Seamless integration of ANSYS multiphysics capabilities and CFX CFD technologies allows, for the first time, customers' multiple disciplinary development teams to collaborate and work together. This unique attribute will benefit customers from various complex product industries including aerospace, automotive, power generation and electronics. - ANSYS' new Multi-field solver is a true advance in open systems simulation. This powerful solver allows customers to utilize engineering experts throughout their company, and even within their supply chains, each simulating their own design issues, to combine the results and gain a complete understanding of the overall system effects. - High performance solution algorithms allow complex simulation of complete products and systems to be performed in minutes and hours rather than days. - Component mode synthesis technology allows larger sized products (such as planes and ships) to be divided into smaller and manageable pieces that can be modeled and simulated independently by many engineering groups on small to medium sized computers. This technology also enables the combining of the behavior of these smaller pieces to yield the whole system response. Leveraging Legacy Data to Spur Product Innovation: - Legacy technologies such as FE Modeler and Interface for NASTRAN allow customers to easily migrate to ANSYS solutions while protecting their investment in legacy product data, knowledge and intellectual property. - Parametric modeling technology (ANSYS ParaMesh) allows legacy data to be immediately utilized in rapid "what-if" simulations with full parametric optimizations, without recreating CAD geometry, and allows engineers to quickly optimize designs based upon product performance requirements.
