Cadence Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- Jul 25, 2012 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Cadence reported second quarter 2012 revenue of $326 million, compared to revenue of $283 million reported for the same period in 2011. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized net income of $36 million, or $0.13 per share on a diluted basis in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $27 million, or $0.10 per share on a diluted basis in the same period in 2011.

Using Cadence's non-GAAP measure, net income in the second quarter of 2012 was $53 million, or $0.19 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $32 million, or $0.12 per share on a diluted basis in the same period in 2011.

"The Cadence team executed well again in Q2," said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. "Our 20-nanometer engagements have expanded, use of our Azuro technology acquired in 2011 increased, our emulation business significantly exceeded expectations, we had a strong quarter for both design and verification IP, and the acquisition of Sigrity has significantly enhanced our printed circuit board product line."

"Cadence continues to deliver strong operating performance as measured by our key metrics of revenue growth, operating margin and cash flow," added Geoff Ribar, senior vice president and chief financial officer.

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation

To supplement Cadence's financial results presented on a GAAP basis, Cadence management uses non-GAAP measures that it believes are helpful in understanding Cadence's performance. One such measure is non-GAAP net income, which is a financial measure not calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and is calculated by taking GAAP net income and excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, integration and acquisition-related costs, including changes in contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions and asset purchases, shareholder litigation costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive and other employee severance costs, restructuring charges and credits, amortization of discount on convertible notes, equity in losses or income from investments, write-down of investments and gains or losses on the sale of investments. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased or licensed technology, backlog, patents, trademarks, distribution rights, customer contracts and related relationships and non-compete agreements. Non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that Cadence would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability.

Cadence's management believes it is useful in measuring Cadence's operations to exclude amortization of intangible assets and integration and acquisition-related costs, including changes in contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions and asset purchases, because these costs are inconsistent in size, are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of those acquisitions and generally cannot be changed by Cadence's management in the short term. In addition, Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense, because it is based on many subjective inputs at a point in time and many of these inputs are not necessarily directly attributable to the underlying performance of Cadence's business operations, and such exclusion enhances investors' ability to review Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence's management. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude costs related to shareholder litigation because these costs are not related to Cadence's core business operations. Cadence's management also believes that it is useful to exclude restructuring charges and credits. Cadence's management believes that in measuring the company's operations, it is useful to exclude any such restructuring charges and credits because exclusion of such charges and credits permits consistent evaluations of Cadence's performance before and after such actions are taken. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude gains or losses and expenses or credits related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets because these gains or losses and expenses or credits are not part of Cadence's direct costs of operations, but reflect changes in the value of assets held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude executive and other employee severance costs because exclusion of such costs permits consistent evaluations of Cadence's performance. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude the amortization of the discount on convertible notes because this incremental cost recorded as interest expense does not represent a cash obligation of the company and is not part of Cadence's direct cost of operations. Finally, Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the equity in losses or income from investments, write-down of investments and gains or losses on the sale of investments because these items are not part of Cadence's direct cost of operations. Rather, these are non-operating items that are included in other income or expense and are part of the company's investment activities.
