ANSYS has a relatively stable recurring revenue model due to long-term customer contracts and subscriptions, with maintenance services accounting for a significant portion of revenue. The company's revenue can be influenced by the timing, duration, and value of multi-year subscription lease contracts, and it relies on high renewal rates for annual subscription lease and maintenance contracts. Demand is also tied to investments in high-growth solutions such as 5G, electrification, autonomous technology, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), indicating that demand can be influenced by broader industry trends and technological advancements. Quarterly ACV contributions in 2024 show some variation, with Q4 contributing 43% of the full-year ACV, while Q1, Q2, and Q3 each contributed 16%, 20%, and 21% respectively, suggesting that the fourth quarter might be a stronger period for annual contract value.
