UGS Extends Strong Lead in High-Growth Collaborative Product Development Management (cPDM) Segment With 73.9 Percent Revenue Increase Year-Over-Year Including Acquisitions, or 42.3 Percent Without Acquisitions

PLANO, Texas, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. In the second quarter, UGS marked its eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year total revenue growth and expanded its market leadership position in the high-growth Collaborative Product Development Management (cPDM) space with a year-over- year 73.9 percent revenue increase including acquisitions, or 42.3 percent without acquisitions. In addition, UGS' CAD/CAM/CAE (CAx) business grew above the projected industry analyst average of a compound annual growth rate of approximately 4 percent.

UGS' growth in the cPDM and CAx segments was fueled by enterprise contracts -- which UGS defines as contracts with total contract value of more than US$1 million each -- in both core and new PLM industry segments. Enterprise contracts through the first half of 2005, on the strength of a double-digit number of enterprise signings in the second quarter, increased by more than 19 percent over the same period a year ago. In addition, new industry segment contract signings more than doubled in the first half of 2005 compared to the same period a year earlier.

Second quarter financial highlights include (numbers include the impact of UGS' acquisition of Tecnomatix, which closed on April 1, 2005):

     *  Total revenue increased to US$285.0 million, or 26.6 percent growth
        over the same period a year earlier, and includes US$81.8 million in
        license software revenue, or a 19.0 percent year-over-year increase.
        Acquisitions added revenue of US$23.0 million.  The company saw an
        increase in total revenue in each geographic segment compared to the
        same period in 2004.
     *  Adjusted operating income (defined below) was US$48.0 million compared
        to US$31.0 million in the same period a year earlier.  Reported
        operating income was US$3.2 million and includes the impact of
        acquisition related intangible amortization costs of US$39.0 million.
        In addition, reported operating income includes an in-process research
        and development charge of US$4.1 million and a restructuring charge of
        US$1.8 million.  In the same period a year prior, the company reported
        an operating loss of US$37.6 million which included acquisition
        related intangible amortization costs of US$17.8 million and an in
        process research and development charge of US$50.8 million.
     *  Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) was US$52.1 million and was in line
        with company expectations given the desire to increase the investment
        in research and development, selling and marketing, and the increase
        in costs associated with being an independent company.  In the second
        quarter of 2004, UGS recorded adjusted EBITDA of US$54.2 million.
     *  In the figures presented above, the company has not made adjustments
        for the impact of deferred revenues written off in connection with the
        acquisition of the company and acquisitions by the company.  These
        write offs had the effect of reducing second quarter 2005 revenues and
        earnings by US$3.4 million and second quarter 2004 revenues and
        earnings by US$10.4 million.

"During the second quarter, UGS marked its one year anniversary of operating independently, by continuing to drive revenue growth and exceeding market growth rates in both segments of the PLM market," said Tony Affuso, chairman, CEO and president of UGS. "Combining this strong financial performance with successful product introductions and major events directly reaching in excess of 100,000 customers and prospects, it was another banner quarter for UGS. As the value of PLM becomes more widely known, we're unarguably marching toward our vision to enable a world where organizations and their partners collaborate through global innovation networks."

Business Highlights

In the second quarter UGS (the company expects to realize revenue from the contracts highlighted below over multiple quarters):

     *  Signed several key CAx contracts, including:

Adjusted operating income represents operating income (loss) adjusted for amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, restructuring charges, and charges for in-process research and development. Adjusted operating income is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted operating income does not represent operating income (loss), as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. We have included information concerning adjusted operating income because we use such information when evaluating operating income to better evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted operating income as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted operating income and operating income (loss), the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted operating income (in thousands).
