ANSYS LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

(“Ansys” or “the Company”)


Trading Statement

In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), companies are required to
publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty
exists that the financial results for the period to be reported on will differ by 20% or more from the
financial results for the previous corresponding period.

Accordingly, a review of the financial results for the year ending 28 February 2014 by
management has indicated that:
*   headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) is expected to decrease by more than 25% when
    compared to the previous reporting period;
*   The expected earnings per share (“EPS”) is expected to increase by more than 25% when
    compared to the previous corresponding period.

The above movements are as a result of a goodwill and development cost impairment in the
previous reporting period that have not occurred in this reporting period;

A further trading statement will be published on once the company has more certainty with
regards to its financial results for the year ending 28 February 2014.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
reported on by Ansys’ auditors. The Company’s financial results for the period ended 28 February
2014 are expected to be released at the end of May 2014.
