Important Factors Regarding Future Results Information provided by ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company"), including information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or by its spokespersons may from time to time contain forward-looking statements concerning such matters as projected financial performance, market and industry segment growth, product development and commercialization, acquisitions or other aspects of future operations. Such statements, made pursuant to the safe harbor established by the securities laws, are 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 those discussed herein, may cause the Company's future results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement. Important information about the basis for those assumptions is contained in "Important Factors Regarding Future Results" included in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," incorporated by reference to pages 12 through 21 of the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders. All information presented is as of December 31, 2000, unless otherwise indicated. PART I ITEM 1: BUSINESS ANSYS, Inc. develops, markets and supports software solutions for design, analysis and optimization. Engineering analysts and design engineers use the Company's software to accelerate product time to market, reduce production costs, improve engineering processes and optimize product quality and safety for a variety of manufactured products. The ANSYS(R) product family features open, flexible architecture that permits easy integration and collaboration within customers' enterprise-wide engineering systems. Since its founding in 1970 as Swanson Analysis Systems, Inc. ("Swanson Analysis"), the Company has become a technology leader in the market for computer-aided engineering ("CAE") analysis software. The Company has long- standing relationships with customers in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, consumer goods and electronics. Using the Company's products, engineers can construct computer models of structures, compounds, components or systems to simulate performance conditions and physical responses to varying levels of stress, pressure, temperature and velocity. This helps reduce the time and expense of physical prototyping and testing. The Company's product line ranges from ANSYS/Multiphysics, a sophisticated multi-disciplinary CAE tool for engineering analysts, to its DesignSpace(R) products, innovative computer-aided design ("CAD") integrated design optimization products for design engineers. The Company's individual design and analysis software programs, all of which are included in the ANSYS/Multiphysics program, are available as subsets or standalone products. The Company's multiphysics products, and maintenance sold in connection with those products, comprise the core of its business and accounted for a substantial portion of the Company's revenue in 2000, 1999 and 1998. The Company's CAD integration products provide design optimization tools for use directly within a particular CAD product. CAD integration products are accessed from the graphical user interface of, and operate directly on the geometry produced within, the CAD product. The output from these programs may be read into any of the products in the ANSYS product family. The Company's product family features a unified database, a wide range of analysis functionality, a consistent, easy-to-use graphical user interface, support for multiple hardware platforms and operating systems (including Windows 98/2000, Windows NT and UNIX), effective user customization tools and integration with leading CAD systems. The ANSYS commercial software products are developed using the Company's ISO 9001-certified quality system. During the year 2000, the Company acquired ICEM CFD Engineering (ICEM). ICEM develops and markets software for pre- and post-processing of engineering applications such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural analysis. ICEM's major products include ICEM CFD, the leading software for 3-D grid generation for CFD, and Icepak, an electronics cooling simulation system created in collaboration with Fluent, Inc. The Company distributes and supports its products principally through its global network of 36 independent, regional ANSYS Support Distributors ("ASDs"), which have 60 offices in 25 countries, as well as through certain direct sales offices and an independent network of resellers and dealers. 2
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company makes significant investments in research and development and emphasizes accelerated new product releases. The Company's product development strategy centers on ongoing development and innovation of new technologies to increase productivity and provide solutions that customers can integrate into enterprise-wide engineering systems. The Company's product development efforts focus on extensions of the full product line with new functional modules, further integration with CAD products and the development of new products based on object-oriented technology. The Company's products run on the most widely used engineering computing platforms and operating systems, including Windows 98/2000, Windows NT and most UNIX workstations. During 2000, the Company achieved the following with respect to major product development activities and releases: . The release of ANSYS 5.7, a new and enhanced version of the Company's flagship multiphysics product, and all component products. This release incorporates high frequency simulation enhancements for wireless communications; a new, faster and more efficient thermal solver for nonlinear transient simulation; enhanced fluid-structure simulation; a new, patented HTML-based report generator for quick and easy reporting of engineering simulation data; and a faster graphical postprocessing tool that enables rapid visualization of very large 3-D models. . The release of DesignSpace 5.0.2. This software release provides enterprise level support for popular computer-aided design (CAD) systems and engineering hardware platforms. Broader and more effective communication capabilities for the patented engineering Web report technology in DesignSpace Report(TM), including multilingual reporting mechanisms, were also included in the release. The Company's total research and development expense was $14.5 million, $13.5 million and $11.6 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, or 19.5%, 21.3% and 20.6% of total revenue, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, the Company's product development staff consisted of 137 full time employees, most of whom hold advanced degrees and have industry experience in engineering, mathematics, computer science or related disciplines. The Company uses multi-functional teams to develop its products and develops them simultaneously on multiple platforms to reduce subsequent porting costs. In addition to developing source code, these teams create and perform highly automated software verification tests; develop on-line documentation and support for the products; implement development enhancement tools, software configuration management and product licensing processes; and conduct regression tests of ANSYS products for all supported platforms. PRODUCT QUALITY During 2000, the Company continued to maintain ISO 9001 certification for its quality system. This standard applies to all of the ANSYS commercial software products and covers all product-related activities, from establishing product requirements to customer service practices and procedures. In accordance with the ISO 9001 certification for its quality system, the Company's employees perform all product development and support tasks according to predefined quality plans, procedures and work instructions. These plans define for each project the methods to be used, the responsibilities of project participants and the quality objectives to be met. To ensure that the Company meets or surpasses the IS0 9001 standards, the Company establishes quality plans for all products and services, subjects product designs to multiple levels of testing and verification and selects development subcontractors in accordance with processes established under the Company's quality system. SALES AND MARKETING The Company distributes and supports its ANSYS and DesignSpace product lines through its global ASD and reseller network, as well as through its own strategic direct sales offices. This network provides the Company with a cost- effective, highly specialized channel of distribution and technical support. The Company's ICEM CFD products are sold primarily through a direct sales force, although a portion of ICEM's revenue is obtained through OEM agreements. Approximately 62% of the Company's total revenue in 2000 was derived through the ASD and reseller network. 3
At December 31, 2000, the ASD network consisted of 36 independent distributors in 60 locations in 25 countries, including 13 in North America, 7 in Europe and 16 throughout the Asia-Pacific region and the remainder of the world. The ASDs sell ANSYS and DesignSpace products to new customers, expand installations within the existing customer base, offer training and consulting services and provide the first line of ANSYS technical support. The Company's ASD certification process helps to ensure that each ASD has the ongoing capacity to adequately represent the Company's product lines and provide an acceptable level of training, consultation and support. The Company also has a direct sales management infrastructure in place to develop a more enterprise-wide focused sales approach and to implement a worldwide major account strategy. The sales management organization also functions as a focal point for requests to ANSYS from the ASD and reseller channel, and provides additional support in strategic locations through the presence of direct sales offices. As of December 31, 2000, the Company's sales management organization was headed by a North American Vice President of Sales and an International Vice President of Sales. In early 2001, a European Vice President of Sales was added to the organization. These senior members of sales management were supported by Regional Sales Directors, devoted to the overall management of stated sales territories, and Strategic Account Managers, devoted to specific major accounts within those territories. During 2000, the Company continued to invest in its previously established strategic sales offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Houston, Texas; New England; the United Kingdom; and China. Additionally, the Company expanded its direct sales presence in Japan via a joint venture with the Japanese ASD and established a strategic sales office in Southern California in the latter part of 2000. In total, the ANSYS direct sales offices employ 35 persons who are responsible for the sales, marketing initiatives and administration in those geographic areas designed to support the Company's overall revenue growth and market share expansion strategies. During 2000, the Company also continued to expand the reseller channel for both its ANSYS and DesignSpace products. This channel complements the ASD network by establishing a broader user base for the Company's products and services. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had signed agreements with 185 resellers. The resellers are required to have appropriately trained marketing and technical personnel. The Company's products have an installed base of approximately 68,000 seats at commercial sites and approximately 122,000 seats at university sites worldwide. The Company's products are utilized by organizations ranging in size from small consulting firms to the world's largest industrial companies. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenue in 2000. Information with respect to foreign and domestic revenue may be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2000 ("2000 Annual Report to Stockholders"), which financial statements are included in Exhibit 13.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, certain countries and geographical 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. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND MARKETING RELATIONSHIPS The Company has established and continues to pursue strategic alliances with advanced technology suppliers and marketing relationships with hardware vendors, specialized application developers and CAD providers. The Company believes these relationships allow accelerated incorporation of advanced technology into the ANSYS, DesignSpace and ICEM CFD product families, gain access to important new markets, expand the Company's sales channels, develop specialized product applications and provide direct integration with leading CAD systems. The Company has technical and marketing relationships with leading CAD vendors, such as Autodesk, Parametric Technology Corporation, Dassault Systemes and UGS to provide direct links between products. These links facilitate the transfer of electronic data models between the CAD system and ANSYS products. To augment the partnerships with CAD vendors, in 2000 the Company increased its capability for capturing and modifying geometry from CAD via a partnership with International TechneGroup Inc. This partnership resulted in a bundled product, CADfix for ANSYS, that interrogates geometry for its fitness to be received by ANSYS products and further heals problem geometry by both automatic and manual methods. 4
The Company has established relationships with leading suppliers of computer hardware, including Hewlett-Packard, Compaq, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, IBM, Dell, Intel and various graphics card vendors. These relationships typically provide the Company with joint marketing opportunities such as advertising, events and internet links with the hardware partner's home page. In addition, the Company receives reduced equipment costs and software porting support to ensure that the Company's software products are certified to run on various hardware configurations. The Company's Enhanced Solution Partner ("ESP") Program actively encourages specialized developers of niche software solutions to use ANSYS as a development platform for their applications. In most cases, the sale of the Enhanced Solution Partners' products is accompanied by the sale of an ANSYS product. The Company partners with Inceciber, S.A. of Spain through the ESP program. Inceciber has developed a set of high-end civil engineering simulation modules that address the steel and concrete construction marketplace. The bundled products are marketed worldwide as CivilFEM for ANSYS. The Company also maintains a partnership with Mechanical Dynamics, Inc. ("MDI"), the goal of which is to combine the structural analysis of DesignSpace with the motion analysis of MDI's Dynamic Designer Motion software into one tightly integrated modeling system. The Company has a software license agreement with Livermore Software Corporation ("LSTC") under which LSTC has provided LS/DYNA software for explicit dynamics solutions used in applications such as crash test simulation in the automotive and other industries. Under this arrangement, LSTC assists in the integration of the LS/DYNA software with the Company's pre- and post-processing capabilities and provides updates and problem resolution in return for a share of revenue from sales of ANSYS/LS-DYNA. In the area of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems ("MEMS"), the Company formed an alliance with MEMSCAP, S.A. of Grenoble, France. The ANSYS/MEMSCAP relationship provides multiphysical products to a variety of industries that are developing electrostatically driven miniature MEMS devices. 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 Sorensen, 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, SDRC 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. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors affecting its market include ease of use; breadth and depth of functionality; flexibility; quality; ease of integration into CAD systems; file compatibility across computer platforms; range of supported computer platforms; performance; price and cost of ownership; customer service and support; company reputation and financial viability; and effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts. Although the Company believes that it currently competes effectively with respect to such factors, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its competitive position against current and potential competitors. There also can be no assurance that CAD software companies will not develop their own analysis software, acquire analysis software from companies other than the Company or otherwise discontinue their relationships with the Company. If any of these events occur, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. 5
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES The Company regards its software as proprietary and relies on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, license agreements, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and technical measures to protect its proprietary rights in its products. The Company distributes its software under software license agreements that grant customers nonexclusive licenses for the use of the Company's products, which are typically nontransferable. Although the Company distributes its products through the ASDs and the reseller channel, license agreements for the Company's products are directly between the Company and end users. Use of the licensed software is restricted to designated computers at specified sites, unless the customer obtains a site license for its use of the software. Software and hardware security measures are also employed to prevent unauthorized use of the Company's software; and the licensed software is subject to terms and conditions prohibiting unauthorized reproduction of the software. Customers may either purchase a paid-up perpetual license of the technology with the right to annually purchase ongoing maintenance, technical support and updates, or may lease the product on an annual basis for a fee which includes the license, maintenance, technical support and upgrades. For certain software products such as ANSYS/ED, the Company primarily relies on "click-wrapped" licenses. The enforceability of these types of agreements under the laws of certain jurisdictions is uncertain. The Company also seeks to protect the source code of its software as a trade secret and as unpublished copyrighted work. The Company has obtained federal trademark protection for ANSYS and DesignSpace. The Company has also obtained trademark registrations of ANSYS and DesignSpace in a number of foreign countries and is in the process of seeking such registration in other foreign countries. Additionally, the Company was awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its web-based reporting technology. The employees of the Company have signed a covenant agreement under which they have agreed not to disclose trade secrets or confidential information, or to engage in or become connected with any business which is competitive with the Company anywhere in the world, while employed by the Company (and, in some cases, for specified periods thereafter), and that any products or technology created by them during their term of employment are the property of the Company. In addition, the Company requires all ASDs and resellers to enter into agreements not to disclose the Company's trade secrets and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, there can be no assurance that misappropriation of the Company's technology will not occur. Further, there can be no assurance that copyright and trade secret protection will be available for the Company's products in certain countries, or that restrictions on competition will be enforceable. The software development industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Therefore, the Company believes that factors such as the technological and creative skills of its personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition and reliable product maintenance are more important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position than the various legal protections of its technology which may be available. The Company is not aware that any of its products infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not claim in the future such infringement by the Company or its licensors or licensees with respect to current or future products. The Company expects that software product developers will increasingly be subject to such claims as the number of products and competitors in the Company's market segment grow and the functionality of products in different market segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company. BACKLOG The Company generally ships its products within 30 days after acceptance of an order and execution of a software license agreement. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that its backlog at any particular point in time is indicative of future sales levels. 6
EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2000, the Company had 368 full time employees. At that date, there were also approximately 21 contract personnel and co-op students providing ongoing development services and technical support. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good. ITEM 2: PROPERTIES The Company's executive offices and those related to product development, marketing, production and administration are located in a 107,000 square foot office facility in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, which is leased for an annual rent of approximately $1,227,000. The Company also leases office space in various locations throughout the world. ANSYS's subsidiaries lease office space for their operations as well. The Company owns substantially all equipment used in its facilities. Management believes that its facilities allow for sufficient space to support not only its present needs, but also allow for expansion and growth as the business may require in the foreseeable future. ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is subject to various legal proceedings from time to time that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000.
