NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein have been prepared by ANSYS, Inc. (the
"Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information for commercial and
industrial companies and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements as of and for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 should be read
in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements (and notes thereto) included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
Accordingly, the accompanying statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial statements have been included,
and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.
2. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of December 31, 1999, accumulated other comprehensive income,
as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, was
comprised of unrealized gains on securities available for sale.
3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
ACQUISITION OF PACIFIC MARKETING AND CONSULTING, INC.
On August 30, 2000, ANSYS, Inc. and GenesisOne Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of ANSYS, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with Pacific Marketing and Consulting, Inc.,
a California corporation ("PMAC"), and its officers and
stockholders. The transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement were consummated on August 31, 2000 with the merger of
PMAC with and into GenesisOne.
In the merger, each share of common stock of PMAC outstanding at
the time of the Merger ceased to be outstanding and each such
share was converted into the right to receive the initial merger
consideration provided for under the Merger Agreement. Holders
of PMAC's Class A voting and Class B non-voting common stock
received initial merger consideration consisting of an aggregate
of 618,992 shares of ANSYS common stock, valued for purposes of
such issuance at $10.01563 per share, and cash in an aggregate
amount of $5,832,531. Holders of PMAC's Class C non-voting
common stock received initial merger consideration aggregating
$367,290 solely in cash. Of the total initial stock
consideration, an aggregate of 123,795 shares of ANSYS common
stock were delivered into escrow, to be released on August 31,
2001 or, if later, upon the resolution of any outstanding
indemnification claims secured by such shares. In addition,
$3,000,000 of the initial aggregate cash consideration was
delivered into escrow, to be released during the first quarter of
2001 upon and subject to the determination of certain post-
closing adjustments and claims.
The Merger Agreement also provides for certain additional future
payments if the acquired business achieves certain performance
criteria. Such additional contingent consideration will be paid
to the former holders of PMAC Class A and Class B common stock
48.4737% in cash and 51.5263% in shares of ANSYS common stock,
valued for such purposes at the average closing price for the
twenty consecutive trading days preceding the date of such
payment. The total number of shares of ANSYS common stock that
will be issued under the Merger Agreement therefore will depend
on the future value of ANSYS common stock. The total amount of
funds required to pay the initial aggregate cash consideration
was $6,199,821, which was obtained from the working capital of
ANSYS. The aggregate merger consideration was determined on the
basis of arms' length negotiations between representatives of
ANSYS and PMAC.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the operating results of PMAC have been included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of
acquisition, August 31, 2000. The total purchase price was
allocated to the assets and liabilities of PMAC based upon their
estimated fair market values. The allocation of the purchase
price was based on an independent valuation and included an
allocation of $8,242,000 to identifiable intangibles (including
$2,700,000 to assembled workforce, $2,345,000 to existing
software, $1,790,000 to non-compete agreements and $1,407,000 to
customer list) and $9,501,000 to goodwill. The identified
intangibles and goodwill are being amortized over three to five
years.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the
results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
--------------------------------------------
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000,
and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for
each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated
interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, the
consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries
as of December 31, 1999 and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated
January 27, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading international supplier
of analysis and engineering software for optimizing the design of
new products. The Company is committed to providing the most
open and flexible analysis solutions to suit customer
requirements for engineering software in today's competitive
marketplace. In addition, the Company partners with leading
design software suppliers to develop state-of-the-art computer-
aided design ("CAD") integrated products. Sales, support and
training for customers are provided primarily through the
Company's global network of independent ANSYS Support
Distributors ("ASDs"). The Company distributes and supports its
ANSYS(r) and DesignSpace(r) product lines through its ASDs, certain
direct sales offices, as well as a network of independent
distributors and dealers. The following discussion should be read
in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30,
1999 and with the Company's audited financial statements and
notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements
below concerning future trends related to paid-up and lease
license revenue, expectations of sales growth in the Company's
DesignSpace and ANSYS/Professional products, the Company's
intentions related to continued investments in sales and
marketing and research and development, plans related to future
capital spending, the sufficiency of existing cash and cash
equivalent balances to meet future working capital and capital
expenditure requirements, comments regarding the effective tax
rate and cost of sales increases in future quarters, as well as
statements which contain such words as "anticipates", "intends",
"believes", "plans" and other similar expressions. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those set forth in
forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such
a difference include risks and uncertainties detailed in the
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" section in the 1999 Annual Report to
Shareholders and in "Certain Factors Regarding Future Results"
included herein as Exhibit 99 to this Form 10-Q.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months
Ended September 30, 1999
Revenue. The Company's total revenue increased 16.8% in the 2000
quarter to $16.7 million from $14.3 million in the 1999 quarter.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2000 includes revenue of
approximately $961,000 from the acquisition of Pacific Marketing
and Consulting, Inc.("ICEM CFD"). The remaining increase in
revenue resulted primarily from higher paid-up license sales.
Higher maintenance and service revenue, primarily from
maintenance contracts sold in association with increased paid-up
licenses in both the current and recent quarters, also
contributed to the overall revenue increase.
Software license revenue increased 13.5% in the 2000 quarter to
$8.6 million from $7.6 million in the 1999 quarter, resulting
primarily from increased sales of paid-up licenses. Revenue from
the sale of paid-up licenses increased 27.3% to $6.6 million from
$5.2 million in the prior year quarter. The Company anticipates
that revenue from sales of paid-up licenses will increase as
sales of its DesignSpace and ANSYS/Professional products grow.
These products are priced at much lower price points compared to
the traditional high-end product offerings and are sold primarily
as paid-up licenses. Also contributing to the license revenue
growth was approximately $600,000 in revenue from the acquisition
of ICEM CFD.
The increases in software license revenue discussed above were
partially offset by a $509,000 reduction in noncancellable annual
lease license revenue and a $447,000 reduction in monthly lease
license revenue. The decrease in noncancellable annual lease
license revenue was principally attributable to the conversion of
existing noncancellable annual leases to paid-up licenses in both
the current and recent quarters. The Company believes that a 1999
increase in its annual lease price was a primary economic factor
in influencing certain noncancellable annual lease conversions.
The decrease in monthly lease license revenue is consistent with
recent quarterly trends and resulted from existing monthly leases
being renewed as noncancellable annual leases or converted to
paid-up licenses. The Company believes that the reduction in
lease license revenue on a quarterly comparison basis will
continue throughout the remainder of 2000.
Maintenance and service revenue increased 20.6% in the 2000
quarter to $8.0 million from $6.7 million in the 1999 quarter.
The increase was primarily a result of maintenance contracts sold
in association with the paid-up license sales discussed above.
Also contributing to the maintenance and service revenue growth
was approximately $400,000 in revenue from the acquisition of
ICEM CFD.
Of the Company's total revenue for the 2000 quarter,
approximately 56.6% and 43.4%, respectively, were attributable to
international and domestic sales, as compared to 56.0% and 44.0%,
respectively, in the 1999 quarter.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. The Company's total cost of
sales increased 31.7% to $2.1 million, or 12.5% of total revenue
for the 2000 quarter, from $1.6 million, or 11.1% of total
revenue for the 1999 quarter. The increase in the 2000 quarter
was principally attributable to higher royalty costs, as well as
costs associated with consulting services provided by ICEM CFD.
The Company anticipates that total cost of sales as a percentage
of revenue will increase slightly in future quarters as a result
of the ICEM CFD acquisition.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit
increased 15.0% to $14.6 million in the 2000 quarter from $12.7
million in the 1999 quarter.
Selling and Marketing. Total selling and marketing expenses
increased from $3.4 million, or 23.7% of total revenue in the
1999 quarter, to $4.3 million, or 25.8% of total revenue in the
2000 quarter. The increase was attributable primarily to costs
associated with the Company's biannual worldwide users'
conference. Increased sales consulting costs related to sales
training initiatives for both the direct and indirect sales
channels also contributed to the increase. The Company
anticipates that it will continue to make significant investments
in its global sales and marketing organization to strengthen its
competitive position, to enhance major account sales activities
and to support its worldwide sales channels and marketing
strategies.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses
increased 11.2% to $3.5 million, or 20.7% of total revenue for
the 2000 quarter, from $3.1 million, or 21.8% of total revenue
for the 1999 quarter. The increase in the 2000 quarter was
attributable to development costs associated with the acquisition
of ICEM CFD. The Company has traditionally invested significant
resources in research and development activities and intends to
continue to make significant investments throughout the remainder
of 2000.
Amortization. Amortization expense increased to $523,000 for the
2000 quarter compared to $187,000 for the 1999 quarter. The
increase resulted from amortization associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses
increased 20.2% to $2.5 million, or 15.0% of total revenue in the
2000 quarter, from $2.1 million, or 14.6% of total revenue in the
1999 quarter. The increase was primarily the result of
approximately $275,000 in one-time charges associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD, as well as consulting costs related to
implementation of the Company's customer relationship management
system. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in
legal costs.
Other Income. Other income increased 28.6% to $877,000 for the
2000 quarter as compared to $682,000 for the 1999 quarter. This
increase was attributable to an increasing interest rate
environment as compared to the prior year quarter.
Income Tax Provision. The Company's effective rate of taxation
was 30.0% for the 2000 quarter as compared to 27.0% for the 1999
quarter. The effective rate increased from the prior year
quarter as a result of certain non-deductible amortization associated
with the acquisition of ICEM CFD. These rates are lower than
the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result
of the utilization of a foreign sales corporation, as well
as the generation of research and experimentation credits.
As a result of the acquisition of ICEM CFD, the Company
anticipates that the effective tax rate will increase in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and will reach a rate in
the range of 35% early in 2001.
Net Income. The Company's net income in the 2000 quarter was
$3.3 million as compared to $3.4 million in the 1999 quarter.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $.21 in the 2000 quarter
as compared to $.20 in the 1999 quarter. The weighted average
shares used in computing net income per diluted common share were
16.0 million in the 2000 quarter and 17.0 million in the 1999
quarter.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1999
Revenue. The Company's total revenue increased 10.5% for the 2000
nine months to $50.3 million from $45.5 million for the 1999 nine
months. The increase was attributable primarily to an increase in
paid-up licenses associated with increased sales of new paid-up
licenses and, to a lesser extent, the conversion of existing
leases to paid-up licenses. Higher maintenance and service
revenue, resulting primarily from maintenance contracts sold in
association with increased paid-up license sales, and
approximately $961,000 of revenue associated with the third
quarter acquisition of ICEM CFD, also contributed to the
increase.
Software license revenue totaled $28.6 million for the 2000 nine
months as compared to $26.6 million for the 1999 nine months, an
increase of 7.2%. The increase resulted principally from an
increase in sales of paid-up licenses. Revenue from the sale of
paid-up licenses increased 25.4% for the 2000 nine-month period
to $21.0 million from $16.7 million in the comparable prior year
period.
The increase in sales of paid-up licenses was partially offset by
a $1.6 million decrease in noncancellable annual lease license
revenue and a $1.3 million reduction in monthly lease license
revenue for the 2000 nine-month period as compared to the
comparable 1999 period. The decrease in noncancellable annual
lease license revenue was principally attributable to the
conversion of existing noncancellable annual leases to paid-up
licenses in recent periods. The Company believes that a 1999
increase in its annual lease price was a primary economic factor
in influencing certain noncancellable annual lease conversions.
The reduction in monthly lease license revenue resulted from
existing monthly leases being renewed as noncancellable annual
leases or converted to paid-up licenses.
Maintenance and service revenue increased 15.0% in the 2000 nine-
month period to $21.8 million from $18.9 million in the
comparable 1999 period. The increase was primarily the result of
maintenance contracts sold in association with the paid-up
license sales discussed above.
Of the Company's total revenue for the 2000 six months,
approximately 56.3% and 43.7%, respectively, were attributable to
international and domestic sales, as compared to 56.7% and 43.3%,
respectively, for the 1999 nine months.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. The Company's total cost of
sales increased 21.1% to $5.9 million, or 11.7% of total revenue
for the 2000 nine months, from $4.9 million, or 10.7% of total
revenue for the 1999 nine months. The increase in the 2000
period was principally attributable to higher salaries and
related expenses associated with increased headcount to support
the growth in license and service sales, as well as increased
royalty costs. The Company anticipates that total cost of sales
as a percentage of revenue will increase slightly in future
quarters as a result of the ICEM CFD acquisition.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit
increased 9.2% to $44.4 million for the 2000 nine months from
$40.7 million for the 1999 nine months.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased
10.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $12.2
million, or 24.2% of total revenue, from $11.0 million, or 24.2%
of total revenue for the comparable 1999 period. The increase
was primarily the result of higher salaries and related expenses
associated with the hiring of key personnel to bolster the
Company's sales and marketing capabilities, as well as costs
associated with the Company's biannual worldwide users'
conference.
Research and Development. Research and development costs
increased 3.4% to $10.1 million, or 20.0% of total revenue for
the 2000 nine months, from $9.7 million, or 21.4% of total
revenue for the 1999 nine months. The increase in the 2000
period was principally attributable to higher consulting costs as
well as development costs associated with the acquisition of ICEM
CFD.
Amortization. Amortization expense increased to $922,000 for the
2000 nine months compared to $588,000 for the 1999 nine months.
The increase resulted from amortization associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses
increased 7.4% for the 2000 nine months to $7.5 million, or 14.8%
of total revenue, from $6.9 million, or 15.2% of total revenue
for the 1999 nine months. The increase was primarily the result
of a $500,000 one-time charge in the first quarter related to the
expiration of an ASD distribution agreement, as well as
approximately $275,000 in one-time charges associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD.
Other Income. Other income increased 51.0% to $2.8 million in
the 2000 nine-month period as compared to $1.8 million in the
1999 nine-month period. This increase was attributable to an
increasing interest rate environment as compared to the
comparable prior year period and a $151,000 one-time gain related
to the sale of investment securities in the first quarter of
2000.
Income Tax Provision. The Company's effective rate of taxation
was 28.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as
compared to 25.3% for the comparable 1999 period. The 1999 rate
was favorably impacted by a one-time tax benefit related to an
amended prior year tax return. These percentages are less than
the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result of the
utilization of a foreign sales corporation, as well as the
generation of research and experimentation credits. As a result
of the acquisition of ICEM CFD, the Company anticipates that the
effective tax rate will increase in the fourth quarter of 2000
and will reach a rate in the range of 35% early in 2001.
Net Income. The Company's net income in the first nine months of
2000 totaled $11.9 million as compared to net income of $10.6
million in the first nine months of 1999. As a result of the
increase in net income, diluted earnings per share increased to
$0.73 in the 2000 nine months as compared to diluted earnings per
share of $0.63 in the 1999 nine months. The weighted average
shares used in computing net income per diluted common share
totaled 16.3 million and 16.7 million in the 2000 and 1999 nine-
month periods, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2000, the Company had cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments totaling $50.6 million and working
capital of $41.5 million, as compared to cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments of $57.1 million and working capital
of $52.7 million at December 31, 1999. The short-term
investments are generally investment grade and liquid-type, which
allows the Company to minimize interest rate risk and to
facilitate liquidity in the event an immediate cash need arises.
The Company's operating activities provided cash of $17.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $13.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in
the Company's cash flow from operations for the 2000 nine-month
period as compared to the comparable 1999 period was a result of
increased earnings, improved accounts receivable collections and
the timing of payments related to certain operating expenses.
Net cash generated by operating activities provided sufficient
resources to fund increased headcount and capital needs, as well
as to sustain share repurchase activity under the Company's
announced share repurchase program.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $4.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $14.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Cash used in the 2000
nine-month period primarily related to the acquisition of ICEM
CFD and capital expenditures. These costs were partially offset
by net maturities of short-term investments. Cash used in the
1999 nine-month period related primarily to net purchases of
short-term investments and capital expenditures. The Company
currently plans additional capital spending of approximately
$500,000 throughout the remainder of 2000; however, the level of
spending will be dependent upon various factors, including growth
of the business and general economic conditions.
Financing activities used net cash of $12.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and provided cash of $753,000 for
the comparable 1999 period. In 2000, cash outlays related to the
Company's share repurchase program were partially offset by
proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock
purchase and option plans. In the 1999 quarter, cash provided
from financing activities related primarily to proceeds from the
issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase and option
plans.
The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalent
balances together with cash generated from operations will be
sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital
expenditure requirements, as well as cash required for the
Company's share repurchase program through the remainder of 2000.
The Company's cash requirements in the future may also be
financed through additional equity or debt financings. There can
be no assurance that such financings can be obtained on favorable
terms, if at all.
Conversion to the Euro
On January 1, 1999, eleven of the member countries of the
European Union established fixed conversion rates between their
existing currencies and one common currency, the euro. The
legacy currencies will remain legal currency in the participating
countries during a transition period through January 1, 2002.
Beginning on this date, new euro-denominated currency will be
issued and the legacy currencies will be withdrawn from
circulation.
The Company is currently in the process of identifying and
addressing issues that may result from the euro conversion such
as changes to information systems to accommodate euro-denominated
transactions, long-term competitive implications and the exposure
to market risk with respect to financial instruments. Although
the Company's assessment of the impact of the euro conversion is
not yet complete, it currently does not believe that the
conversion will have a material adverse impact on its financial
position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation." This Interpretation clarifies
such issues as: (a) the definition of employee for purposes of
applying APB Opinion No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining
whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the
accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a
previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting
for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination. This Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but
certain conclusions in this Interpretation cover specific events
that occur after either December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000.
To the extent that this Interpretation covers events occurring
during the period after December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000,
but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of
applying this Interpretation are recognized on a prospective
basis from July 1, 2000. The adoption of this Interpretation did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

EXHIBIT 99 Certain Factors Regarding Future Results
Information provided by the Company or its
spokespersons may from time to time contain forward-
looking statements concerning projected financial
performance, market and industry segment growth,
product development and commercialization or other
aspects of future operations. Such statements will
be based on the assumptions and expectations of the
Company's management at the time such statements are
made. The Company cautions investors that its
performance (and, therefore, any forward-looking
statement) is subject to risks and uncertainties.
Various important factors, including but not limited
to the following, may cause the Company's future
results to differ materially from those projected in
any forward-looking statement.
Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results. The
Company may experience significant fluctuations in
future quarterly operating results. Fluctuations
may be caused by many factors, including the timing
of new product releases or product enhancements by
the Company or its competitors; the size and timing
of individual orders, including a fluctuation in the
demand for and the ability to complete large
contracts; software errors or other product quality
problems; competition and pricing; customer order
deferrals in anticipation of new products or product
enhancements; reduction in demand for the Company's
products; changes in operating expenses; changes in
the mix of software license and maintenance and
service revenue; personnel changes and general
economic conditions. A substantial portion of the
Company's operating expenses are related to
personnel, facilities and marketing programs. The
level of personnel and related expenses cannot be
adjusted quickly and is based, in significant part,
on the Company's expectation for future revenue.
The Company does not typically experience
significant order backlog. Further, the Company has
often recognized a substantial portion of its
revenue in the last month of a quarter, with this
revenue frequently concentrated in the last weeks or
days of a quarter. During certain quarterly
periods, the Company has been dependent upon
receiving large orders of perpetual licenses
involving the payment of a single, up-front fee and,
more recently, has shifted the business emphasis of
its products to provide a collaborative solution to
the Company's customers. This emphasis has
increased the Company's average order size and
increased the related sales cycle time for the
larger orders and may have the effect of increasing
the volatility of the Company's revenue and profit
from period to period. The Company also depends
upon renewals and sales of noncancellable annual
leases, for which a portion of the annual license
fee is recognized as paid-up revenue upon renewal or
inception of the lease. As a result, product
revenue in any quarter is substantially dependent on
sales completed in the latter part of that quarter,
and revenue for any future quarter is not
predictable with any significant degree of accuracy.
Stock Market and Stock Price Volatility. Market
prices for securities of software companies have
generally been volatile. In particular, the market
price of the Company's common stock has been and may
continue to be subject to significant fluctuations
as a result of factors affecting the Company, the
software industry or the securities markets in
general. Such factors include, but are not limited
to, declines in trading price that may be triggered
by the Company's failure to meet the expectations of
securities analysts and investors. The Company
cannot provide assurance that in such circumstances
the trading price of the Company's common stock will
recover or that it will not experience a further
decline. Moreover, the trading price could be
subject to additional fluctuations in response to
quarter-to-quarter variations in the Company's
operating results, material announcements made by
the Company or its competitors, conditions in the
software industry generally or other events and
factors, many of which are beyond the Company's
control.
In addition, a large percentage of the Company's
common stock is held by investment funds associated
with TA Associates, Inc. and various institutional
investors. Consequently, actions with respect to
the Company's common stock by either TA Associates,
Inc. or certain of these institutional investors
could have a significant impact on the market price
of the stock.
Rapidly Changing Technology; New Products; Risk of
Product Defects. The markets for the Company's
products are generally characterized by rapidly
changing technology and frequent new product
introductions that can render existing products
obsolete or unmarketable. A major factor in the
Company's future success will be its ability to
anticipate technological changes and to develop and
introduce in a timely manner enhancements to its
existing products and new products to meet those
changes. If the Company is unable to introduce new
products and respond quickly to industry changes,
its business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.
The introduction and marketing of new or enhanced
products require the Company to manage the
transition from existing products in order to
minimize disruption in customer purchasing patterns.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in developing and marketing, on a timely
basis, new products or product enhancements, that
its new products will adequately address the
changing needs of the marketplace or that it will
successfully manage the transition from existing
products. Software products as complex as those
offered by the Company may contain undetected errors
or failures when first introduced or as new versions
are released, and the likelihood of errors is
increased as a result of the Company's commitment to
accelerating the frequency of its product releases.
There can be no assurance that errors will not be
found in new or enhanced products after commencement
of commercial shipments. Any of these problems may
result in the loss of or delay in market acceptance,
diversion of development resources, damage to the
Company's reputation or increased service and
warranty costs, any of which could have a materially
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Distributors. The Company continues
to distribute its products principally through its
global network of 29 independent, regional ASDs.
The ASDs sell ANSYS and DesignSpace products to new
and existing customers, expand installations within
their existing customer base, offer consulting
services and provide the first line of ANSYS
technical support. The ASDs have more immediate
contact with most customers who use ANSYS software
than does the Company. Consequently, the Company is
highly dependent on the efforts of the ASDs.
Difficulties in ongoing relationships with ASDs,
such as delays in collecting accounts receivable,
failure to meet performance criteria or to promote
the Company's products as aggressively as the
Company expects and differences in the handling of
customer relationships could adversely affect the
Company's performance. Additionally, the loss of
any major ASD for any reason, including an ASD's
decision to sell competing products rather than the
Company's products, could have a materially adverse
effect on the Company. Moreover, the Company's
future success will depend substantially on the
ability and willingness of its ASDs to continue to
dedicate the resources necessary to promote the
Company's products and to support a larger installed
base of the Company's products. If the ASDs are
unable or unwilling to do so, the Company may be
unable to sustain revenue growth.
Competition. The CAD, CAE and computer-aided
manufacturing ("CAM") markets are intensely
competitive. In the traditional CAE market, the
Company's primary competitors include MSC.Software
Corporation and Hibbitt, Karlsson and Sorenson, Inc.
The Company also faces competition from smaller
vendors of specialized analysis applications in
fields such as computational fluid dynamics. In
addition, certain integrated CAD suppliers such as
Parametric Technology Corporation, Structural
Dynamics Research Corporation and Dassault Systemes
provide varying levels of design analysis,
optimization and verification capabilities as part
of their product offerings. The entrance of new
competitors would likely intensify competition in
all or a portion of the overall CAD, CAE and CAM
markets. Some of the Company's current and possible
future competitors have greater financial,
technical, marketing and other resources than the
Company, and some have well established
relationships with current and potential customers
of the Company. It is also possible that alliances
among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire
significant market share or that competition will
increase as a result of software industry
consolidation. Increased competition may result in
price reductions, reduced profitability and loss of
market share, any of which would materially
adversely affect the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Senior Management and Key Technical
Personnel. The Company is highly dependent upon the
ability and experience of its senior executives and
its key technical and other management employees.
Although the Company has an employment agreement
with one executive, the loss of this employee, or
any of the Company's other key employees, could
adversely affect the Company's ability to conduct
its operations.
Risks Associated with International Activities. A
significant portion of the Company's business comes
from outside the United States. Risks inherent in
the Company's international business activities
include imposition of government controls, export
license requirements, restrictions on the export of
critical technology, political and economic
instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs
and taxes, difficulties in staffing and managing
international operations, longer accounts receivable
payment cycles and the burdens of complying with a
wide variety of foreign laws and regulations.
Effective patent, copyright and trade secret
protection may not be available in every foreign
country in which the Company sells its products.
The Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations could be materially adversely
affected by any of these risks.
Additionally, countries in certain international
regions have continued to experience weaknesses in
their currency, banking and equity markets. These
weaknesses could adversely affect consumer demand
for the Company's products and ultimately the
Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Recently, the World Trade Organization ("WTO") ruled
that tax incentives provided to U.S.-based companies
that export their products via a foreign sales
corporation are prohibited tax subsidies. In
September, the House of Representatives approved the
FSC Repeal and Extraterritorial Income Exclusion Act
(the "Act"). The Act generally repeals the foreign
sales corporation and implements an extraterritorial
income tax benefit. The Act provides short-term and
long-term relief for foreign sales corporations in
existence as of September 30, 2000. The short-term
transition rules permit foreign sales corporations
to retain benefits through December 31, 2001. Any
prospective changes regarding tax benefits
associated with the Company's export sales may
directly impact the Company's effective tax rate.
Dependence on Proprietary Technology. The Company's
success is highly dependent upon its proprietary
technology. Although the Company was recently
awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office for its web-based reporting technology, the
Company generally relies on contracts and the laws
of copyright and trade secrets to protect its
technology. Although the Company maintains a trade
secrets program, enters into confidentiality
agreements with its employees and distributors and
limits access to and distribution of its software,
documentation and other proprietary information,
there can be no assurance that the steps taken by
the Company to protect its proprietary technology
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its
technology by third parties, or that third parties
will not be able to develop similar technology
independently. Although the Company is not aware
that any of its technology infringes upon the rights
of third parties, there can be no assurance that
other parties will not assert technology
infringement claims against the Company, or that, if
asserted, such claims will not prevail.
Increased Reliance on Perpetual Licenses. The
Company has historically maintained stable recurring
revenue from the sale of monthly lease licenses and
noncancellable annual leases for its software
products. More recently, the Company has
experienced an increase in customer preference for
perpetual licenses that involve payment of a single
up-front fee and that are more typical in the
computer software industry. While revenue generated
from monthly lease licenses and noncancellable
annual leases currently represents a portion of the
Company's software license revenue, to the extent
that perpetual license revenue continues to increase
as a percentage of total software license revenue,
the Company's revenue in any period will
increasingly depend on sales completed during that
period.
Risks Associated With Acquisitions. The Company has
consummated and may continue to consummate certain
strategic acquisitions in order to provide increased
capabilities to its existing products, enter new
product and service markets or enhance its
distribution channels. The ability of the Company
to integrate the acquired businesses, including
delivering sales and support, ensuring continued
customer commitment, obtaining further commitments
and challenges associated with expanding sales in
particular markets and retaining key personnel, will
impact the success of these acquisitions. If the
Company is unable to properly and timely integrate
the acquired businesses, there could be a materially
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
On August 31, 2000, the Company acquired ICEM CFD
Engineering. The Company cannot guarantee that it
will be able to fully realize the benefits or
strategic objectives it sought in acquiring ICEM
CFD. The acquisition of ICEM CFD was accounted for
as a purchase and, as a result, a significant amount
of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets
were recorded, the amortization of which will
adversely affect the Company's results of operations
in future periods.
General Contingencies. The Company is subject to
various investigations, claims and legal proceedings
from time to time that arise in the ordinary course
of its business activities. Each of these matters is
subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible
that some of these matters may be resolved
unfavorably to the Company.
