SOUTHPOINTE, Pa. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 25, 2010 — ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today reported its fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2009 results.

“In addition to the financial results, there were three encouraging aspects to a very chaotic 2009. Foremost, the core thesis of ANSYS was validated and amplified as simulation not only provided transformational advantage to our customers in difficult times, but also aided in the survival of companies during increasingly competitive times. Secondly, the business model that supports this mission continued to prove high resiliency over a wide range of economic environments over the past decade. And lastly, ANSYS demonstrated agility with its nimble response to the tumult in the market. The fourth quarter presented us with a combination of both challenges and opportunities. ANSYS’ ability to deliver solid financial results was driven by our tight alignment with our customers’ research and product development priorities, our broad portfolio of product solutions, and solid execution by our global workforce and channel partners,” commented ANSYS President & CEO Jim Cashman.
