“We delivered excellent results again this quarter, including double digit revenue growth for the second quarter in a row,” said Max Carnecchia, President & CEO of Accelrys.  “We also just concluded the acquisition of Aegis Analytical Corporation, thereby continuing to execute on our strategy of extending our portfolio from early research downstream into development, quality and manufacturing.  I am pleased to welcome the Aegis team to Accelrys and look forward to the strategic value we will bring to our customers through this combination.”

Recent Business Highlights:

Announced the acquisition of Aegis Analytical Corporation, expanding Accelrys' portfolio with industry-leading enterprise process intelligence capabilities.  Aegis software will be become part of the Accelrys Process Management and Compliance suite, providing organizations with unmatched insights into their product development, quality and manufacturing processes.

Announced the new integrated Accelrys Process Management and Compliance Suite, improving the way businesses manage the scientific innovation lifecycle by bringing products to market faster and at a lower cost, while meeting critical quality and regulatory compliance objectives.

Announced the latest release of Accelrys Electronic Laboratory Notebook (formerly Symyx Notebook by Accelrys), offering new capabilities that deliver a more complete biology solution for the fastest growing area of drug discovery and development.

Non-GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 exclude the impact of business combination activities associated with the acquisitions of Contur Industry Holding AB and Contur Software AB (collectively, “Contur”) and VelQuest Corporation (“VelQuest”), both in 2011, and the merger with Symyx Technologies, Inc. (“Symyx”) in 2010, and other nonrecurring items.
Non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating loss, and non-GAAP net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 include fair value adjustments to deferred revenue ($2.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively). Non-GAAP operating income for such three and nine-month periods also excludes stock-based compensation expense ($2.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively), business consolidation, transaction and restructuring costs ($0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively) and purchased intangible asset amortization ($4.2 million and $12.6 million, respectively), offset by an adjustment to include acquisition-related cost of revenue related to VelQuest non-GAAP revenue recognized during such periods ($0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively). In addition to the aforementioned items, non-GAAP net income for the same periods includes fair value adjustments to deferred royalty income ($0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively) and excludes additional purchased intangible asset amortization ($0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively) offset by removing the impact of the amortization of note receivable discount related to

our promissory note receivable from Intermolecular, Inc. (“Intermolecular”) ($0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively). Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also excludes $2.1 million in other income resulting from our real estate related activities.
Calendar Year 2012 Outlook
For the year ending December 31, 2012, the Company expects non-GAAP revenue to be between $169 and $171 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be between $0.32 and $0.33 per diluted share on fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 56 million and using an effective tax rate of 40%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release describes financial measures for revenue, operating income, net income, net income per diluted share and free cash flow that exclude deferred revenue fair value adjustments, acquisition-related cost of revenue, business consolidation, transaction and restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expense, purchased intangible asset amortization, royalty income fair value adjustments, amortization of note receivable discount, gain on sale of real estate, write-off of lease related assets and income tax adjustments. These financial measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful measure of the Company's operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into the Company's ongoing operating performance. Further, management and the Board of Directors utilize these measures, in addition to GAAP measures, when evaluating and comparing the Company's operating performance against internal financial forecasts and budgets. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
For additional information on the items excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP financial measures please refer to the Form 8-K regarding this release that was furnished today to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
