ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS), today reported second quarter 2020 GAAP
and non-GAAP revenue growth of 5% in reported currency, or 5% and
6%, respectively, in constant currency. For the second quarter of
2020, the Company reported earnings per share of $1.11 and $1.55 on
a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively, compared to $1.28 and
$1.61 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively, for the second
quarter of 2019.
“Q2 was a very strong quarter for Ansys, with revenue, operating
margins and earnings exceeding the high end of our financial
guidance. I’m excited that during the quarter we closed both the
largest deal in our 50-year history as well as our largest sales
agreement for new business. These results demonstrate the strength
and resilience of our business and give us confidence for the
future,” said Ajei Gopal, Ansys president and CEO.
Gopal further stated, “Our recent launch of Ansys 2020 Release 2
delivers enhanced functionality across the simulation portfolio to
help customers generate larger, more complex designs easier and
faster than ever. And we recently hosted Simulation World, the
largest virtual simulation event ever held, to build excitement for
those world-class products.”
“Our continued focus and ability to adjust our
execution against the real-time operating realities of the current
business environment yielded strong financial results. These
reflect the resiliency of both our business model and our team. Our
stronger than expected revenue performance drove operating margins
and earnings that were also above the high end of our guidance. Our
financial results included growth in both ACV and operating cash
flows, while 83% of ACV was from recurring sources in the second
quarter. We also reported a record second quarter balance of
deferred revenue and backlog of $846 million, an increase of 18%
over the second quarter of 2019. While we continue to plan for a
challenging market environment in the near term, we remain
confident that Ansys is very well positioned with a combination of
a strong balance sheet, cash flow from operations and ample
liquidity for our ongoing operations and to support future growth
aspirations. As we look ahead into the second half of the year, we
will continue to balance fiscal discipline with the need to
continue to invest in our business to maintain our leadership and
to pursue our strategy of making simulation pervasive," stated
Maria Shields, chief financial officer of Ansys.

ACV is a metric the Company uses to better understand the
business. There is no GAAP measure comparable to ACV. ACV is
composed of the following:
- the annualized value of maintenance and 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.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
We provide non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating
income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as supplemental measures to
GAAP regarding 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.
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. In accordance with the fair value provisions
applicable to the accounting for business combinations, acquired
deferred revenue is often recorded on the opening balance sheet at
an amount that is lower than the historical carrying value.
Although this acquisition accounting requirement has no impact on
our business or cash flow, it adversely impacts our reported GAAP
revenue in the reporting periods following an acquisition. In order
to provide investors with financial information that facilitates
comparison of both historical and future results, we provide
non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of the
acquisition accounting adjustment. We believe that this non-GAAP
financial adjustment is useful to investors because it allows
investors to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology
and information used by us in our financial and operational
decision-making, and (b) compare our past and future reports
of financial results as the revenue reduction related to acquired
deferred revenue will not recur when related annual lease licenses
and software maintenance contracts are renewed in future
periods.
Amortization of 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 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.
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. Stock-based compensation expense
(benefit) incurred in connection with our deferred compensation
plan held in a rabbi trust includes an offsetting benefit (charge)
recorded in other income (expense). 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
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. We similarly exclude income
(expense) related to assets held in a rabbi trust in connection
with our deferred compensation plan. Specifically, we exclude
stock-based compensation and income (expense) related to assets
held in the deferred compensation plan rabbi trust 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.
Transaction 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. These expenses are generally not
tax-deductible. We exclude these acquisition-related transaction
expenses, derived from announced acquisitions, 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.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We
recorded impacts to our income tax provision related to the
enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, specifically for
the transition tax related to unrepatriated cash and the impacts of
the tax rate change on net deferred tax assets. We exclude these
impacts for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when we evaluate our continuing
operational performance, as (i) the charges are not expected to
recur as part of our normal operations and (ii) the charges
resulted from the extremely infrequent event of major U.S. tax
reform, the last such reform having occurred in 1986. 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.
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 will re-evaluate this rate for
significant items that may materially affect our projections.
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.
We have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as
listed below:
