Ansys suspends guidance amid pending transaction with Synopsys

The company said, “As previously announced, in light of the pending transaction with Synopsys, Ansys is suspending quarterly earnings conference calls and will no longer be providing quarterly or annual guidance. We expect FY 2024 ACV to grow double-digit and the dollar value of ACV will continue to be highly skewed toward the fourth quarter of the year as has been the case in prior years. Additionally, 2024 quarterly ACV and revenue growth rates are expected to be variable across the quarters and are affected by the performance comparisons to 2023. As a result, we expect Q1 2024 ACV and revenue results to be the lowest amongst the quarters with the expectation that we will see double-digit ACV and revenue growth the remaining quarters of the year.”
