Additionally, the Company reported ACV growth of 16% for FY 2021, in both reported and constant currency.
“Our robust performance in 2021 reflects our strong customer relationships and simulation portfolio leadership – ranging from best-in-class multiphysics solvers to powerful mathematical analytics and modeling capabilities as well as our comprehensive simulation platform. From this foundation, we achieved double-digit ACV and revenue growth while delivering industry-leading margins. We added to our market-leading portfolio with the acquisitions of Phoenix Integration and Zemax. And we recently released the latest version of our product portfolio, Ansys 2022 R1, which is enabling customers to save time and money while spurring innovation. With our unrivaled product portfolio, broad and deep customer relationships, and strong execution, I am excited about our success in 2022 and beyond,” said Ajei Gopal, Ansys President and CEO.
Nicole Anasenes, Ansys CFO, stated, “Q4 capped an outstanding year and demonstrated the strength of our business model as we beat our financial guidance across all key metrics for both the quarter and the full-year. Q4’s outperformance resulted in full year 2021 ACV growth of 16% and revenue growth of 13% and 14% on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively. In FY 2021, our growth was wide-ranging across geographies and industries, and we achieved new company records across key financial metrics, including ACV, revenue and operating cash flow. We are entering 2022 with momentum and a strong backlog driven by the broad-based strength of our product portfolio. This bolsters our confidence in our 2022 guidance, which exceeds the 2022 ACV target of $2 billion outlined at our 2019 investor day.”
