On a GAAP basis, Cadence achieved operating margin of 24 percent and recognized net income of $131 million, or $0.47 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to operating margin of 23 percent and net income of $107 million, or $0.38 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2019.

Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin for the second quarter of 2020 was 35 percent and net income was $185 million, or $0.66 per share on a diluted basis, compared to operating margin of 34 percent and net income of $161 million, or $0.57 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2019.

To ensure business continuity, we are further investing in infrastructure and collaboration platforms to maintain high levels of productivity and innovation.”

“Cadence exceeded all of its key financial metrics for the second quarter and we are raising our outlook for the year to 11% revenue growth and 33% non-GAAP operating margin,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “Cadence operated from approximately 50 sites across the globe before the pandemic, and we are now operating from a distributed network of more than 8,000 homes. We are blessed to have such a strong and versatile global leadership group. I am very impressed and thankful for how our team is not only rising to the challenge but thriving in this environment.”

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results. Investors are also encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance.

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 GAAP. Non-GAAP net income is calculated by Cadence management by taking GAAP net income and excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including retention expenses, investment gains or losses, income or expenses related to Cadence’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, restructuring, executive severance and other significant items not directly related to Cadence’s core business operations, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments.

Cadence management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of Cadence’s core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence management and investors regarding the performance of the business operations, facilitates comparisons to the historical operating results and allows the review of Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence management, including forecasting and budgeting.

The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the periods shown below:
