(NASDAQ:ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced a new Company record for fourth quarter and year-end operating results. In a separate release, ANSYS announced that is has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fluent, Inc. ANSYS' fourth quarter and 2005 fiscal year GAAP results include: - Total revenue of $43.7 million, as compared to $38.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2004; total revenue of $158.0 million in 2005 as compared to $134.5 million in 2004; - Net income of $13.3 million, as compared to $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2004; net income of $43.9 million in 2005 as compared to $34.6 million in 2004; - An operating profit margin of 40.6% as compared to 38.2% for the fourth quarter of 2004; an operating profit margin of 37.2% in 2005 as compared to 34.2% in 2004; - Diluted earnings per share of $0.39, as compared to $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2004; diluted earnings per share of $1.30 in 2005 as compared to $1.05 in 2004; - Cash flows from operations of $20.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $67.8 million in 2005; and - Cash and short-term investment balances totaling $194.2 million as of December 31, 2005. Excluding acquisition-related amortization, ANSYS' fourth quarter and 2005 adjusted (non-GAAP) results include: - An adjusted operating profit margin of 42.8% as compared to 40.6% for the fourth quarter of 2004; an adjusted operating profit margin of 39.9% in 2005 as compared to 36.9% in 2004; and - Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.41 as compared to $0.35 for the fourth quarter of 2004 (excluding the one-time tax benefit); and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.38 in 2005 as compared to $1.09 in 2004(excluding the one-time tax benefit). "Our focus and execution in the fourth quarter capped off a milestone year for ANSYS," commented ANSYS President and CEO, Jim Cashman. "This past year was a period of significant growth for ANSYS in terms of continued advancement and expansion of technologies, as well as very solid financial performance. We completed fiscal 2005 with record results and continued strong momentum as ANSYS' value proposition gained further acceptance with our diverse, global customer base. The Company's overall performance in 2005 provides further validation that our business is operationally sound, financially strong and strategically on track." Cashman further commented, "We have grown our business substantially over the past few years and plan to continue to invest in the future of the Company. Over the course of 2006, we will strive to strengthen our leadership presence in the engineering simulation arena by providing our customers with the world's most advanced simulation capabilities. I firmly believe that our proposed acquisition of Fluent, a global provider of CAE simulation software, which we announced this morning, is a further demonstration of our commitment to being the leader in driving innovative engineering simulation solutions. This acquisition marks another important milestone in our long-term strategy." In closing, Cashman added, "We are very excited about our future prospects and look forward to the many challenges ahead at ANSYS. We remain committed to maintain our usual diligence and focus on our singular long-term vision of providing increasingly powerful simulation technology and making it more accessible to a broader range of users. We believe our unique balance of technology leadership, global and diversified presence, solid business model and commitment to our vision positions us as a company for continued growth." Adjustments to Reported GAAP Financial Results - Acquisition-Related Amortization: As previously disclosed, the Company completed its acquisitions of Century Dynamics, Inc. and the assets of Harvard Thermal, Inc. in 2005. In previous years, the Company also acquired other businesses. These acquisitions have all been accounted for as purchases, resulting in the recording of a significant amount of identifiable intangible assets. ANSYS is providing, and has historically provided, its current quarter GAAP results as well as financial results that have been adjusted for the impact of acquisition-related amortization. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures supplement its consolidated GAAP financial statements as they provide a consistent basis for comparison between reporting periods that are not influenced by certain non-cash items and are, therefore, useful to investors in helping them to better understand the Company's operating results. In certain instances, such as when intangibles are acquired through business acquisitions or become fully amortized, amortization expense associated with acquired intangibles also makes period-to-period comparisons difficult because amortization expense may appear in one period but not in the comparable period. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company's business performance; however, these measures are not intended to supersede or replace the GAAP results. Business Highlights - Advances in Global Innovative Engineering Simulation Strategy - February 2006 - Announced a definitive agreement to acquire Fluent, Inc., a global provider of computer-aided engineering simulation software, in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $565 million based on the $44.11 pr share closing price of ANSYS common stock on February 15, 2006. Under the terms of the agreement, ANSYS will issue six million shares of its common stock and pay approximately $300 million of net cash to acquire Fluent, subject to certain adjustments at closing. After closing, ANSYS expects the planned acquisition to be immediately accretive to earnings, excluding acquisition-related costs, amortization of intangibles, the impact of deferred revenue purchase accounting treatment and expensing of stock options. The Company will use a combination of existing cash and proceeds from approximately $200 million of committed bank financing to fund the transaction. - October 2005 - Acquired substantially all of the assets of Harvard Thermal, Inc., a leader in thermal analysis software tools. The acquisition expands the Company's product offerings and allows it to deliver a more complete and comprehensive solution to its customers. Management's Financial Outlook The Company has provided its 2006 revenue and earnings per share guidance below. The earnings per share guidance is provided on both a GAAP basis and an adjusted basis. Adjusted earnings per share excludes acquisition-related amortization and the effects of stock-based compensation. First Quarter 2006 Guidance The Company currently expects the following for the quarter ending March 31, 2006: - Revenue of approximately $41 - $42 million - GAAP earnings per share of $0.33 - $0.36 - Adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share of $0.35 - $0.36 Fiscal Year 2006 Guidance The Company currently expects the following for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006: - Revenue in the range of $178 - $180 million - GAAP earnings per share of $1.38 - $1.53 - Adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share of $1.51 - $1.53 The above guidance excludes the impact of the acquisition of Fluent, Inc. announced earlier today. The Company intends to provide updated financial guidance after the closing of the transaction. ANSYS, INC.
