Factors at Play
Increased sales of its simulation solutions across major verticals such as aerospace and defense (A&D), high tech, automotive, industrial equipment and energy are expected to have driven ANSS’ top-line momentum.
Its advanced simulation solutions for 5G, autonomous vehicles, IoT devices and high-performance chips are likely to have driven stronger customer engagement and deal activity. Additionally, integration of NVIDIA Omniverse-powered capabilities into Fluent and AVxcelerate Sensors in March 2025 may have further strengthened Ansys’s product appeal, positively impacting its first-quarter performance.
Ansys is benefiting from increased maintenance and subscription lease revenues, along with growth in perpetual license revenues. This strong momentum is likely to have continued and positively impacted Ansys’ performance in the first quarter.
Ansys’ strategic partnerships might have contributed positively to its first-quarter performance. In February 2025, the extension of its collaboration with Microsoft, enabling Ansys Access on Azure, enhanced product accessibility and customer convenience.
Geopolitical headwinds, unfavorable forex fluctuations and global macroeconomic uncertainty remain concerns for ANSS.
Given the pending acquisition by Synopsys, as announced in January 2024, the company has suspended earnings calls and stopped providing financial guidance. However, it expects the 2024 annual contract value or ACV to grow in double digits. The deal, valued at nearly $35 billion, is anticipated to close in the first half of 2025.
Key Recent Developments
On April 24, 2025, Ansys announced expanded AI-assisted workflows for radio frequency (RF) design migration and photonic ICs, along with new semiconductor certifications through its ongoing collaboration with TSMC. The partnership supports optimized 3D-IC design and faster market readiness for AI and HPC chips, while extending tool certification to TSMC’s new N3C technology.
On April 1, 2025, Ansys achieved a milestone by completing the largest-ever commercial Fluent CFD simulation using AMD Instinct MI250X graphics processing units (GPUs). This groundbreaking achievement was made possible through the use of the Frontier exascale supercomputer, housed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and powered by AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs.
On March 27, 2025, GlobalFoundries certified Ansys’ Lumerical Photonic Design Tools for use on the GF Fotonix platform. This is set to empower engineers with high-fidelity simulation capabilities for both passive and active photonic components, supporting the development of cutting-edge chips used in generative AI, autonomous vehicles, hyperscale data centers and IoT applications.
