History
Exa was founded on November 21, 1991. Exa raised about $2.4 million in a series of venture capital investments from April 1993 though 1994 from Fidelity Ventures and individuals. More funding was obtained in 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2005, including Boston Capital Ventures as an investor. In 1999, Stephen A. Remondi became chief executive.
The company filed for an initial public offering in August 2011. On July 3, 2012, company shares were listed on the NASDAQ exchange under symbol EXA, raising about $3.9 million.
For fiscal year 2012, Exa recorded total revenues, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $45.9 million, $14.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Since generating its first commercial revenue in 1994, Exa's annual revenue had increased for 18 consecutive years. The company was profitable in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 after recording net losses in the three preceding fiscal years. Exa's total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2012 increased 21% and 51%, respectively, compared with fiscal year 2011. Exa reported $61.4 million in total revenue for the full year fiscal 2015. The company's total revenue is expected to be in the range of $64.7 million to $67.0 million for the full year fiscal 2016.
Corporation
A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law. Early incorporated entities were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature). Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration.
Corporations come in many different types but are usually divided by the law of the jurisdiction where they are chartered into two kinds: by whether or not they can issue stock, or by whether or not they are for profit.
Where local law distinguishes corporations by ability to issue stock, corporations allowed to do so are referred to as "stock corporations", ownership of the corporation is through stock, and owners of stock are referred to as "stockholders." Corporations not allowed to issue stock are referred to as "non-stock" corporations, those who are considered the owners of the corporation are those who have obtained membership in the corporation, and are referred to as a "member" of the corporation.

Exa-
Exa is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting 1018 or 1000000000000000000. It was added as an SI prefix to the International System of Units (SI) in 1975, and has the unit symbol E.
Exa comes from the Ancient Greek ἕξ, used as a prefix ἑξά-, meaning six (like hexa-), because it is equal to 10006.

EXA
In computing, EXA is a graphics acceleration architecture of the X.Org Server (see also X Window System) designed to replace XAA (the XFree86 Acceleration Architecture) and to make the XRender extension more usable, with only minor changes needed to adapt XFree86 video drivers written to use XAA; it was designed by Zack Rusin and announced at LinuxTag 2005 and first released with X.Org Server version 6.9/7.0.
History
Historically, a distinction has been made between 2D and 3D acceleration. 2D acceleration was provided by the venerable XFree86 Acceleration Architecture, which made the video card's 2D hardware acceleration available to the X server.
The 3D acceleration set was provided via the Direct Rendering Manager, which worked by mapping 3D rendered pictures on top of the 2D picture. This had some buggy corner cases, but more or less worked, until compositing entered into the desktop. This distinction has become the source of a lot of bugs, and performance problems.
EXA was introduced as a stopgap measure, to provide better integration with XRender than XAA did, improving the X.Org Server 2D performance. In practice, while this proved quite advantageous in some respects, it also exhibited a number of corner cases and regressions.
