"We believe our business model has demonstrated superior resiliency over a variety of economic cycles and can continue to drive profitable growth while we deliver on the ANSYS mission to lead innovation in engineering simulation.  While there are obvious macro-economic issues that are affecting our customers' buying patterns, we continued to see an increased customer reliance on engineering innovation as a priority.  This remains a focus as we continue to drive our long-term growth with continued investments in software development and customer engagement."

"On August 1, 2012, we marked another milestone in achieving our vision of Simulation Driven Product Development(TM) as we completed the acquisition of Esterel Technologies," said Mr. Cashman.  "The addition of Esterel builds on our formidable product line, now including embedded system simulation and certified code generation, further differentiating our solutions.  This acquisition helps to extend our capabilities to encompass both hardware and software systems, enabling customers to gain greater insight into the behavior of the embedded software as it interacts with the hardware, strengthening our role as a strategic partner for our customers around the world."  Mr. Cashman continued, "This acquisition also adds a market-leading, comprehensive team of talented and dedicated employees, who we welcome to the ANSYS family."
