PITTSBURGH, PA, August 2, 2023/Globe Newswire/ -- ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS), today reported second quarter 2023 GAAP and non-GAAP revenue growth of 5% and 4% in reported currency, respectively, or 6% and 5% in constant currency, respectively, when compared to the second quarter of 2022. For the second quarter of 2023, the Company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.80 and $1.60 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively, compared to $1.13 and $1.77 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively, for the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, the Company reported second quarter ACV growth of 6% in reported currency, or 7% in constant currency, when compared to the second quarter of 2022.

“Ansys delivered another outstanding quarter, once again beating financial guidance across all key metrics. Our excellent year-to-date performance was broad-based across geographies, industries and customer types. We recently released the latest version of our product portfolio, Ansys 2023 R2, which is empowering customers to expand the use of Ansys simulation in new and exciting ways. With our unrivaled product portfolio, broad and deep customer relationships, and strong execution, I am excited about our ability to achieve our short-term and long-term objectives,” said Ajei Gopal, Ansys president and CEO.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 1

Nicole Anasenes, Ansys CFO, stated, “Our second quarter results continue to demonstrate our robust and resilient business model. Q2 results exceeded the midpoint of our outlook shared in May, and contributed to strong year-to-date performance, reflecting ACV growth of 12% in constant currency and GAAP and non-GAAP revenue growth of 14% and 13% in constant currency, respectively. Our double-digit performance for the first half of 2023 puts us on track to deliver on our full-year commitments and keeps us on our long-term model trajectory. We continue to see momentum in the business, which gives us further confidence to raise our full year outlook for ACV and revenue guidance.”

The non-GAAP financial results highlighted, and the non-GAAP financial outlook for 2023 discussed below, represent non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these measures to the appropriate GAAP measures, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and for the 2023 financial outlook, can be found later in this release.

/ Financial Results

Ansys' second quarter and year-to-date (YTD) 2023 and 2022 financial results are presented below. The 2023 and 2022 non-GAAP results exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation, excess payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, expenses related to business combinations and adjustments for the income tax effect of the excluded items. The 2022 period non-GAAP results also exclude the income statement effects of acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenue from business combinations closed prior to 2022. There is no adjustment in 2023 as the impact is not material.

GAAP and non-GAAP results are as follows:

ACV is a key performance metric and is useful to investors in assessing the strength and trajectory of our business. ACV is a supplemental metric to help evaluate the annual performance of the business. Over the life of the contract, ACV equals the total value realized from a customer. ACV is not impacted by the timing of license revenue recognition. ACV is used by management in financial and operational decision-making and in setting sales targets used for compensation. ACV is not a replacement for, and should be viewed independently of, GAAP revenue and deferred revenue as ACV is a performance metric and is not intended to be combined with any of these items. There is no GAAP measure comparable to ACV. ACV is composed of the following:

•the annualized value of maintenance and subscription lease contracts with start dates or anniversary dates during the period, plus

•the value of perpetual license contracts with start dates during the period, plus

•the annualized value of fixed-term services contracts with start dates or anniversary dates during the period, plus

•the value of work performed during the period on fixed-deliverable services contracts.

When we refer to the anniversary dates in the definition of ACV above, we are referencing the date of the beginning of the next twelve-month period in a contractually committed multi-year contract. If a contract is three years in duration, with a start date of July 1, 2023, the anniversary dates would be July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025. We label these anniversary dates as they are contractually committed. While this contract would be up for renewal on July 1, 2026, our ACV performance metric does not assume any contract renewals.

Example 1: For purposes of calculating ACV, a $100,000 subscription lease contract or a $100,000 maintenance contract with a term of July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024, would each contribute $100,000 to ACV for fiscal year 2023 with no contribution to ACV for fiscal year 2024.

Example 2: For purposes of calculating ACV, a $300,000 subscription lease contract or a $300,000 maintenance contract with a term of July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2026, would each contribute $100,000 to ACV in each of fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025. There would be no contribution to ACV for fiscal year 2026 as each period captures the full annual value upon the anniversary date.

Example 3: A perpetual license valued at $200,000 with a contract start date of March 1, 2023 would contribute $200,000 to ACV in fiscal year 2023.

/ Management's 2023 Financial Outlook

The Company's third quarter and updated FY 2023 revenue, diluted earnings per share and ACV guidance is provided below. The diluted earnings per share guidance is provided on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation, excess payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, expenses related to business combinations and adjustments for the income tax effect of the excluded items.

This guidance is based on the Company's evaluation of factual information it has determined to be relevant and the application of certain assumptions made by the Company. Please refer to the Company's prepared remarks document for additional information regarding the Company's financial guidance, including its assumptions regarding overall business dynamics.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 3

/ Third Quarter 2023 Guidance

The Company currently expects the following for the quarter ending September 30, 2023:


(in millions, except percentages and per share data)	GAAP				Non-GAAP
Revenue	$453.7		-	$473.7	$453.7		-	$473.7
Revenue Growth Rate	(4.0	%)	-	0.3 %	(4.2	%)	-	0.0%
Revenue Growth Rate — Constant Currency	(5.3	%)	-	(1.2 %)	(5.6	%)	-	(1.4 %)
Diluted earnings per share	$0.46		-	$0.64	$1.18		-	$1.31


(in millions, except percentages)	Other Financial Metrics
ACV	$460.5		-	$480.5
ACV Growth Rate	12.5	%	-	17.4 %
ACV Growth Rate — Constant Currency	10.5	%	-	15.3 %

Quarterly dynamics can be volatile and oftentimes, variances in the income statement can be disconnected from ACV. The quarterly mix of license types that generate up-front revenue recognition creates a year-over-year revenue headwind in the third quarter which is causing the income statement to be disconnected from the accelerating third quarter and second half ACV outlook. The year-over-year revenue and resulting income statement in the third quarter is not a reflection of business momentum. Our full-year raised ACV guidance continues to be the best metric to observe the momentum in our business.

/ Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance

The Company currently expects the following for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023:


(in millions, except percentages and per share data)	GAAP				Non-GAAP
Revenue	$2,257.0		-	$2,327.0	$2,257.0		-	$2,327.0
Revenue Growth Rate	9.3	%	-	12.7 %	8.9	%	-	12.3 %
Revenue Growth Rate — Constant Currency	8.9	%	-	12.2 %	8.5	%	-	11.9 %
Diluted earnings per share	$5.32		-	$5.95	$8.39		-	$8.88


(in millions, except percentages)	Other Financial Metrics
ACV	$2,275.0		-	$2,340.0
ACV Growth Rate	12.0	%	-	15.2 %
ACV Growth Rate — Constant Currency	11.4	%	-	14.6 %
Unlevered operating cash flows	$699.0		-	$749.0

Our FY 2023 guidance is inclusive of $47.5 million in interest expense. This compares to interest expense in FY 2022 of $22.7 million with the significant increase in FY 2023 driven by the interest rate environment and our floating interest rate on our term loan. Reconciliations of the GAAP to Non-GAAP diluted EPS outlook and the operating cash flow to unlevered operating cash flow outlook are available in our "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" section found later in this document.

Relative to our May guidance, our updated full-year non-GAAP diluted EPS contemplates $0.04 of operational improvement at the midpoint from increased full-year revenue guidance, which was more than offset by $0.06 of higher interest expense and one-time items in other expense.

/ Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We provide non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and unlevered operating cash flows as supplemental measures to GAAP regarding our 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.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 10

We use non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance as well as our performance relative to our 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 employees. In addition, many financial analysts that follow us 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 we have historically reported, these non-GAAP financial measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable information with past reports of financial results.

While we believe 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 our competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of our competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. We compensate 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:

Acquisition accounting for deferred revenue. Historically, we have consummated acquisitions in order to support our strategic and other business objectives. Under prior accounting guidance, a fair value provision resulted in acquired deferred revenue that was often recorded on the opening balance sheet at an amount that was lower than the historical carrying value. Although this fair value provision has no impact on our business or cash flow, it adversely impacts our reported GAAP revenue in the reporting periods following an acquisition. In 2022, we adopted accounting guidance which eliminates the fair value provision that resulted in the deferred revenue adjustment on a prospective basis. In order to provide investors with financial information that facilitates comparison of both historical and future results, we have historically provided non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of the acquisition accounting adjustment for acquisitions prior to the adoption of the new guidance in 2022. The 2022 non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document include the adjustment to exclude the income statement effects of acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenue from business combinations closed prior to 2022. There is no adjustment included for 2023 as the impact is not material.

Amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions. We incur amortization of intangible assets, included in our GAAP presentation of amortization expense, related to various acquisitions we have made. We exclude these expenses for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when we evaluate our continuing operational performance 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 us after the acquisition. Accordingly, we do not consider these expenses for purposes of evaluating our performance during the applicable time period after the acquisition, and we exclude such expenses when making decisions to allocate resources. We believe 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 us in our financial and operational decision-making, and (b) compare our past reports of financial results as we have historically reported these non-GAAP financial measures.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 11

Stock-based compensation expense. We incur expense related to stock-based compensation included in our GAAP presentation of cost of maintenance and service; research and development expense; and selling, general and administrative expense. This non-GAAP adjustment also includes excess payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation. Although stock-based compensation is an expense and viewed as a form of compensation, we exclude these expenses for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when we evaluate our continuing operational performance. Specifically, we exclude stock-based compensation during our annual budgeting process and our quarterly and annual assessments of our performance. The annual budgeting process is the primary mechanism whereby we allocate resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. Additionally, the annual review by our board of directors during which it compares our historical business model and profitability to the planned business model and profitability for the forthcoming year excludes the impact of stock-based compensation. In evaluating the performance of our senior management and department managers, charges related to stock-based compensation are excluded from expenditure and profitability results. In fact, we record stock-based compensation expense into a stand-alone cost center for which no single operational manager is responsible or accountable. In this way, we can 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. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to (a) evaluate our operating results and the effectiveness of the methodology used by us to review our operating results, and (b) review historical comparability in our financial reporting as well as comparability with competitors' operating results.

Expenses related to business combinations. We incur expenses for professional services rendered in connection with business combinations, which are included in our GAAP presentation of selling, general and administrative expense. We also incur other expenses directly related to business combinations, including compensation expenses and concurrent restructuring activities, such as employee severances and other exit costs. These costs are included in our GAAP presentation of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. We exclude these acquisition-related 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 we evaluate our continuing operational performance, as we generally would not have otherwise incurred these expenses in the periods presented as a part of our operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to (a) evaluate our operating results and the effectiveness of the methodology used by us to review our operating results, and (b) review historical comparability in our financial reporting as well as comparability with competitors' operating results.

Non-GAAP tax provision. We utilize a normalized non-GAAP annual effective tax rate (AETR) to calculate non-GAAP measures. This methodology provides better consistency across interim reporting periods by eliminating the effects of non-recurring items and aligning the non-GAAP tax rate with our expected geographic earnings mix. To project this rate, we analyzed our historic and projected non-GAAP earnings mix by geography along with other factors such as our current tax structure, recurring tax credits and incentives, and expected tax positions. On an annual basis we re-evaluate and update this rate for significant items that may materially affect our projections.

Unlevered operating cash flows. We make cash payments for the interest incurred in connection with our debt financing which are included in our GAAP presentation of operating cash flows. We exclude this cash paid for interest, net of the associated tax benefit, for the purpose of calculating unlevered operating cash flows. Unlevered operating cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our core operating business. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management because it provides a measure of our cash generated through operating activities independent of the capital structure of the business.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Our 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 our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 12

We have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as listed below:


GAAP Reporting Measure			Non-GAAP Reporting Measure
Revenue			Non-GAAP Revenue
Gross Profit			Non-GAAP Gross Profit
Gross Profit Margin			Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin
Operating Income			Non-GAAP Operating Income
Operating Profit Margin			Non-GAAP Operating Profit Margin
Net Income			Non-GAAP Net Income
Diluted Earnings Per Share			Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share
Operating Cash Flows			Unlevered Operating Cash Flows

Constant currency. In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures detailed above, we use constant currency results for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons by excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on the reported results. To present this information, the 2023 results for entities whose functional currency is a currency other than the U.S. Dollar were converted to U.S. Dollars at rates that were in effect for the 2022 comparable period, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect for 2023. Constant currency growth rates are calculated by adjusting the 2023 reported amounts by the 2023 currency fluctuation impacts and comparing the adjusted amounts to the 2022 comparable period reported amounts. We believe 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 us in our financial and operational decision-making, and (b) compare our reported results to our past reports of financial results without the effects of foreign currency fluctuations.

Other Recent Highlights

•We continue to deliver organic product releases and invest in adjacent technologies that power industry innovation:

◦In July, we released Ansys 2023 R2. The latest release enables engineers and researchers in every industry to take advantage of the transformative power of digital engineering by combining our advances in simulation numerics with technology multipliers. In R2, we enhanced solver algorithms to speed simulations by capitalizing on graphics processing units (GPUs), supporting users to run large jobs and overcome hardware capacity limitations with HPC, both on-premises and in the cloud. The new release also expands our use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to further increase the speed and accuracy of our solvers, unlock design optimization solutions for our customers, and improve the user experience. By pushing the engineering boundaries of computing, AI, and ML, we make our leading multiphysics solutions available to more potential customers while elevating our existing customers’ digital engineering efforts. Below are some of the enhancements to our market-leading solutions with our R2 release:

▪We delivered a full-chip electromagnetic (EM) and electrothermal solution that supercharges HFSS 3D Layout with Q3D and Raptor-X capabilities. HFSS 3D Layout can execute full chip-to-system EM simulations, which will be critical to advancing leading-edge 3D integrated circuit designs.

▪Within the Structures product line, 2023 R2 contains new features and capabilities that allow more accurate, efficient, and actionable structural simulation. For example, LS-DYNA has been exposed in Mechanical-Workbench for applications such as drop testing, enabling users to explore multiple drop test variations concurrently.

▪The multi-GPU solver in Fluent enables a broader spectrum of complex industrial applications natively on GPUs, such as sliding mesh and compressible flows. 2023 R2 also expands to clusters that use Advanced RISC Machine (ARM)-based servers, which have the potential to reduce hardware cost and overall energy consumption.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 2

▪Ansys Discovery now enables analysis of high-frequency EM modeling for antennas. The launch empowers teams to virtually explore several design areas at once, which helps improve performance and efficiency.

◦In June, we acquired Diakopto, a small tuck-in acquisition, to expand our multiphysics simulation portfolio for semiconductor designers. The addition of Diakopto’s solutions to Ansys’ portfolio allows engineers to analyze, debug and optimize high-performance integrated circuits earlier in the design process. While strategically important, this acquisition does not have a material impact on our 2023 financial performance.

•We continue to expand our partnerships to accelerate digital transformation and to better meet customers’ increasing expectations:

◦We have expanded our global footprint with a new customer technical support office in Kigali, Rwanda, while also extending our partnership with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Ansys' partnership with CMU-Africa features a shared mission to accelerate the digital transformation and economic development underway across the continent, while creating access to world-class, advanced engineering talent from a growing Pan-Africa technology hub. Our partnership further strengthens the relationship between two world leaders with a global mindset in engineering, computer science, and simulation technologies.

◦We continue to expand our partnership with PTC. We announced at LiveWorx a new sustainability initiative focused on integrated materials management and sustainability workflows between PTC’s Creo® and Windchill® products and Ansys® Granta MI™. This collaboration will help engineers balance performance and environmental footprint priorities as they design products.

◦We accelerated radio-frequency integrated circuit semiconductor design in partnership with Synopsys with a new reference flow for Samsung technology. The new reference flow delivers the predictive accuracy of Ansys' golden signoff EM analysis with Synopsys' leading Custom Design Flow, providing unmatched quality of results for mutual customers.

◦We continue to collaborate closely with semiconductor foundries and achieved several critical certifications in Q2 with Intel Foundry Services, Samsung Foundry, and TSMC. Samsung Foundry also certified Ansys RedHawk-SC and Ansys Totem power integrity signoff solutions for Samsung’s latest 2 nanometer silicon process technology. Additionally, we joined TSMC’s OIP Cloud Alliance to facilitate the deployment of fully distributed workflows for mutual customers.

•We drive impact for our customers across a broad, diverse set of industries:

◦Our largest contract of the quarter was a $57 million multi-year agreement with a long-time global aerospace & defense customer based in the United States. This contract reflects significant growth over the previous contract to keep up with user demand while advancing the company’s ongoing digital transformation efforts. By leveraging Ansys solutions across all of our technology pillars, the company is maintaining its strategic advantage in the market and is better positioned to adapt to the novel demands of changing end user requirements.

◦Flexium uses Ansys simulation solutions to accelerate advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicle applications.

Ansys simulation helps drive the printed circuit board manufacturer’s competitive 5G mmWave antenna module designs to support satellite, driverless and wireless applications.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 3

◦Axelera AI selected Ansys to boost power and performance integrity for its edge AI platform chip. Ansys' comprehensive power analytics empowers designers to reduce project risk, improve predictive accuracy, and accelerate time-to-market for Axelera AI’s new Metis AI Platform – a hardware and software platform for computer vision AI inference at the edge.

◦We also announced several customer developments during the Paris Air Show. With joint software optimization efforts from Ansys and Intel, Rolls-Royce reduced the simulation time of the thermo-mechanical model of Rolls-Royce’s gas-turbine engine, saving energy and development costs. Additionally, Lufthansa Technik integrated our simulation solutions to design and certify AeroSHARK, a biomimetic coating technology that emulates shark skin and significantly reduces fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

•We continue to be recognized for our ESG initiatives:

◦We were named to USA Today's America's Climate Leaders 2023 list. The list comprises companies across the United States that achieved the greatest reduction in core emissions intensity – greenhouse gas emissions in relation to revenue between 2019 and 2021.

◦Ansys ranked #27 on Newsweek’s annual Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list. The results were determined after surveying more than 2 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 30 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the center of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them.

◦Forbes named Ansys to its America’s Most Cyber Secure Companies list. In partnership with the research company SecurityScorecard, the rankings highlight the top 200 U.S.-based companies whose website security and cybersecurity infrastructure make them best-in-class. The 200 come from the vast population of 12 million websites that SecurityScorecard regularly monitors.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 6

Regional and Industry Commentary

Our ACV growth in the second quarter was driven by the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. Aerospace & defense (A&D) and automotive had strong performance during the quarter. Our broad portfolio remains a key component in our customers’ digital transformation journeys, delivering valuable insights throughout the product lifecycle, from development to operation.

•Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications are driving increased complexity and multiphysics challenges that can only be overcome with high fidelity simulation solutions in the high-tech industry. We continue to see increased interest in our semiconductor solutions within the automotive industry, which is pivoting toward custom-built chips to create competitive advantages and safeguard supplies.

◦EMEA growth was highlighted by a deal with a multinational equipment manufacturer that expanded its use of solutions across our portfolio to aid various projects, including the development of electrification technologies such as electric powertrains. The increase in users and products aids broad digitalization efforts the company hopes will allow it to improve product quality while reducing time-to-market.

◦Asia-Pacific saw multiple sales to consumer electronics manufacturers, including one that expanded the use of our electronics solutions and implemented our Python-based solvers. The company expects its investment in our technology to enable it to automate workflows and speed time-to-market as it seeks to meet demands of its AI-related products.

•We saw strength in the A&D industry with growth in all regions. Ongoing digital transformation efforts and an active, evolving space sector remain key drivers of simulation investment.

◦Americas performance included a contract with a launch service provider involved in aerospace manufacturing, space exploration and defense. It was further bolstered by a deal with an aerospace engineering and technology provider that increased the number of users and created access to a variety of our new and emerging simulation solutions that will generate engineering insights across the product lifecycle.

◦Asia-Pacific growth was supported by a sale to a space and aviation simulation provider that will integrate our digital mission engineering solutions from the design stage to in-field operation as part of the company’s larger shift toward digital engineering.

◦Sales to European defense companies contributed to EMEA growth, one of which created global access to our structural solvers, advancing the company’s vision of establishing a globally consistent approach to the design, modification and repair of military vehicles.

◦We delivered ACV growth in the automotive industry supported by growth in the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. Ongoing efforts to enhance electric vehicles (EVs), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and digital transformation initiatives among automotive manufacturers and suppliers generated demand for solutions across our portfolio.

▪Growth in the Asia-Pacific region was led by a deal with a global automotive parts supplier and an automotive lighting electronics and vision technology solutions provider. One of the deals expands the usage of our core solvers domestically to reduce trial costs and optimize product development, ultimately increasing the company’s appeal to automotive original equipment manufacturers.

▪Growth in EMEA was led by deals to multinational automotive manufacturers, one of which continued investments in our solutions for passive safety analysis.

The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP revenue values for the 2022 period is a result of the application of the fair value provisions applicable to the accounting for business combinations closed prior to 2022.

We continue to experience increased demand from our customers for contracts that often include longer-term, subscription leases involving a larger number of our software products. These arrangements typically involve a higher overall transaction price. The upfront recognition of license revenue related to these larger transactions can result in significant subscription lease revenue volatility. Software products, across a large variety of applications and industries, are increasingly distributed in software-as-a-service, cloud and other subscription environments in which the licensing approach is time-based rather than perpetual. This preference could result in a shift from perpetual licenses to time-based licenses, such as subscription leases, over the long term.

In addition, the value and duration of multi-year subscription lease contracts executed during the period significantly impact the recognition of revenue. As a result, revenue may fluctuate, particularly on a quarterly basis, due to the timing of such contracts, relative differences in duration of long-term contracts from quarter to quarter and changes in the mix of license types sold compared to the prior year. Large swings in revenue growth rates are not necessarily indicative of customers' software usage changes or cash flows during the periods presented.

/ Outlook

Our third quarter and full year 2023 financial guidance estimates are provided below and are based on significant assumptions that may or may not be realized. Those assumptions, and certain related management actions, include the following, among others:

•Our outlook is based on the continued broad-based growth across industries and geographies that we saw in the first half of 2023 and expect to continue through the remainder of the year.

•Trade restrictions limit our ability to deliver products and services to Russia and Belarus, and to deliver to certain companies in China. Our guidance assumes that these restrictions, as they exist as of August 2023, will remain in place throughout 2023.

•Additional restrictions or a further deterioration in the global trade environment could have a material adverse impact on our business, as well as on our ability to achieve our financial guidance.

•The up-front recognition of revenue on perpetual licenses and the license component of multi-year subscription lease contracts has a significant impact on our operating results. Our 2023 guidance assumes the ongoing ability to drive more multi-year subscription lease deals across a broader set of customers and reflects the mix of license types that we see in our current forecast.

•Our renewal rates have remained high, and our assumptions are that they will continue to remain so for the majority of our business.

•Our spending reflects moderate expense impacts from inflation, and we continue to invest in long-term opportunities. We have also maintained and intend to maintain our commitment to invest in our acquisitions, research and development, and certain digital transformation projects, as those projects are critical to our ability to operate efficiently and scale the business for future growth.

We are currently forecasting the following:

The outlook presented above factors in actual and planned increases in sales and channel capacity, our current visibility around major account activity, sales pipelines and forecasts. However, as we have said in the past, and will continue to reiterate, there are many factors over which we have no control, including the macroeconomic environment, customer procurement patterns, government and tax policies, and currency rate volatility. We do, however, have the benefit of a solid, repeatable business base; a diversified geographic and industry footprint; and a world-class customer base that have helped us to succeed and to deliver on our commitments.

Please see the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors” for a discussion of risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements.

/ Glossary of Terms

Annual Contract Value (ACV): ACV is a key performance metric and is useful to investors in assessing the strength and trajectory of our business. ACV is a supplemental metric to help evaluate the annual performance of the business. Over the life of the contract, ACV equals the total value realized from a customer. ACV is not impacted by the timing of license revenue recognition. ACV is used by management in financial and operational decision-making and in setting sales targets used for compensation. ACV is not a replacement for, and should be viewed independently of, GAAP revenue and deferred revenue as ACV is a performance metric and is not intended to be combined with any of these items. There is no GAAP measure comparable to ACV. ACV is composed of the following:

•the annualized value of maintenance and subscription lease contracts with start dates or anniversary dates during the period, plus

•the value of perpetual license contracts with start dates during the period, plus

•the annualized value of fixed-term services contracts with start dates or anniversary dates during the period, plus

•the value of work performed during the period on fixed-deliverable services contracts.

Example 3: A perpetual license valued at $200,000 with a contract start date of March 1, 2023 would contribute $200,000 to ACV in fiscal year 2023.

Backlog: Deferred revenue associated with installment billings for periods beyond the current quarterly billing cycle and committed contracts with start dates beyond the end of the current period.

Deferred Revenue: Billings made or payments received in advance of revenue recognition.

Subscription Lease or Time-Based License: A license of a stated product of our software that is granted to a customer for use over a specified time period, which can be months or years in length. In addition to the use of the software, the customer is provided with access to maintenance (unspecified version upgrades and technical support) without additional charge. The revenue related to these contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period for the maintenance portion and up front for the license portion.

Perpetual / Paid-Up License: A license of a stated product and version of our software that is granted to a customer for use in perpetuity. The revenue related to this type of license is recognized up front.

Q2 2023 Financial Results // 18

Maintenance: A contract, typically one year in duration, that is purchased by the owner of a perpetual license and that provides access to unspecified version upgrades and technical support during the duration of the contract. The revenue from these contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
