Ansoft Corporation First Quarter Results
PITTSBURGH--Aug. 21, 2002--Ansoft Corporation today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2003 ended July 31, 2002.Revenue for the first quarter totaled $9.3 million, a decrease of 17% compared to $11.2 million reported in the previous fiscal year's first quarter. Net loss for the first quarter was $3.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $498,000, or $0.04 per diluted share in fiscal 2002.
"We are clearly disappointed in these results. Our first quarter is typically the toughest of the fiscal year, with this quarter's results being impacted by the struggling tech economy.
