ACCELRYS ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS

San Diego, March 6, 2012 — Accelrys, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACCL) today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011. Non-GAAP revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased $1.6 million to $40.8 million from $42.5 million for the same quarter of the previous year, or a decrease of 4%. Non-GAAP revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $30.3 million to $155.0 million from $124.7 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, or an increase of 24%.

Non-GAAP net income was $4.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the previous year. Non-GAAP net income was $19.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to non-GAAP net income of $10.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010.

Non-GAAP free cash flow was $7.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to non-GAAP free cash flow of $5.7 million for the same quarter of the previous year. Non-GAAP free cash flow more than doubled to $33.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 when compared to non-GAAP free cash flow of $15.5 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010.

The GAAP results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 were impacted by the business combination accounting associated with the acquisitions of Contur Industry Holding AB and Contur Software AB (collectively, “Contur”) and VelQuest Corporation (“VelQuest”) in 2011 and the merger with Symyx Technologies in 2010, and by other nonrecurring acquisition-related and restructuring costs. GAAP revenue, GAAP operating loss, other income and GAAP net income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 were negatively impacted by fair value adjustments to both deferred revenue ($1.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively) and deferred royalty income ($0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively). GAAP operating income for those periods was also negatively impacted by business consolidation, transaction and restructuring costs ($1.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively), stock-based compensation expense ($1.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively) and purchased intangible asset amortization ($4.6 million and $18.2 million, respectively), while GAAP net income for the same periods was negatively impacted by additional purchased intangible asset amortization ($0.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively). In addition, GAAP net income was positively impacted by the net gain recognized upon the sale of our equity investment in Intermolecular ($19.0 million in both periods), offset by the write off of the associated intangible assets ($4.3 million in both periods).

GAAP revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 increased $8.4 million to $39.8 million from $31.3 million for the same quarter of the previous year, or an increase of 27%. GAAP revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $43.4 million to $144.3 million from $101.0 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, or an increase of 43%.

GAAP net income was $14.2 million or $0.25 per diluted share, for the current quarter compared to GAAP net loss of $15.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the previous year. GAAP net income was $1.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to GAAP net loss of $23.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010.

“2011 was an important year for Accelrys, one in which we established our operational baseline following the merger with Symyx Technologies in the prior year. I am pleased with the progress we made in all areas of the business, completing our integration activities and significant releases in all of our core product lines,” said Max Carnecchia, President and CEO. “We also completed two key acquisitions that further our strategy of assisting companies optimize their product innovation cycle, bringing products from lab to market more quickly and efficiently and at a lower cost. We have built a solid foundation from which we will continue to serve our customers and grow our business organically and through further acquisitions in 2012.”

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, stock-based compensation expense, purchased intangible asset amortization, business consolidation, transaction and restructuring costs, gain on sale of equity investment, sale of intangible asset, royalty income fair value adjustments 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.
