“I am pleased to report that we exceeded all of our key operating metrics for the quarter,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We expect strong demand and cash flow to continue into the fourth quarter, and as a result we are raising our outlook for fiscal 2018 and increasing stock repurchases to $75 million for the fourth quarter.”

Business Outlook

The outlook provided below is on an ASC Topic 606 basis, which Cadence has adopted for its fiscal year 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. As required by the new standard, the company will report revenue under both methods for the 2018 transition year.

For the fourth quarter of 2018, the company expects total revenue in the range of $545 million to $555 million. Fourth quarter GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.27 to $0.29. Net income per diluted share using the non-GAAP measure defined below is expected to be in the range of $0.46 to $0.48.

For 2018, the company expects total revenue in the range of $2.113 billion to $2.123 billion. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share for 2018 is expected to be in the range of $1.15 to $1.17. Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net income per diluted share for 2018 is expected to be in the range of $1.80 to $1.82.

For 2018, the company is forecasting a non-GAAP income tax rate of 16 percent, down from 23 percent used in 2017, primarily resulting from the tax rate reduction.

For comparison purposes, the company expects the outlook at the midpoint for 2018 on the prior ASC Topic 605 basis to be as follows: revenue of $2.130 billion, GAAP net income per diluted share of $1.18 and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $1.85.

A schedule showing a reconciliation of the business outlook from GAAP net income and diluted net income per share to non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share is included in this release.
