Synopsys Posts Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012

Q1 2012 Financial Highlights

•

Revenue: $425.5 million

•

GAAP earnings per share: $0.39

•

Non-GAAP earnings per share: $0.56

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Feb. 22, 2012 – Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP used in the design, verification and manufacture of electronic components and systems, today reported results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, Synopsys reported revenue of $425.5 million, compared to $364.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 16.7 percent.

“Business in fiscal Q1 was strong and broad based. Combined with a solid outlook for the rest of the year, our results allow us to raise our outlook for fiscal 2012, independent of any impact from the Magma Design Automation acquisition,” said Aart de Geus, chairman and CEO of Synopsys. “Customers are aggressively moving to develop advanced new products, and demand for our technology and support is high. We expect the acquisition of Magma, which closed today, will enable us to accelerate delivery of state-of-the art technology to our customers.”

GAAP Results

On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $56.69 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to $48.2 million, or $0.31 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Due to our fiscal calendar, the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 included an extra week.

Non-GAAP Results

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $82.3 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $68.3 million, or $0.44 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release. Due to our fiscal calendar, the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 included an extra week.

Financial Targets

Synopsys also provided its financial targets for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2012. These targets do not include any impact of the acquisition of Magma Design Automation or future acquisition-related expenses that may be incurred in fiscal 2012. These targets constitute forward-looking information and are based on current expectations.

GAAP Reconciliation

Synopsys continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Synopsys presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Synopsys’ operating results in a manner that focuses on what Synopsys believes to be its ongoing business operations and what Synopsys uses to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Synopsys’ management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Synopsys’ management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes: (i) the amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of stock compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, (iv) other significant items, including the effect of tax benefits from settlements with the Internal Revenue Service, and (v) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments as well as unusual or infrequent tax adjustments; and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of Synopsys’ business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever Synopsys uses a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed below.

The statements made in this press release regarding projected financial results in the sections entitled “Financial Targets,” and “Reconciliation of Target Non-GAAP Operating Results,” financial objectives, and certain statements, including statements regarding projected financial results and financial objectives, and any statements regarding the impact of Synopsys’ acquisition of Magma Design Automation, Inc.

In addition, certain statements made in the earnings conference call are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those described by these statements due to a number of uncertainties, including, but not limited to:

•

continued uncertainty in the global economy and its potential impact on the semiconductor and electronics industries;

•

uncertainty in the growth of the semiconductor and electronics industry;

•

Synopsys’ ability to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of acquisitions and the difficulties in the integration of the products and operations of acquired companies or assets into Synopsys’ products and operations;

•

Synopsys’ ability to successfully operate or integrate Magma’s business and technologies;

•

the effect of Synopsys’ acquisition of Magma on Synopsys’ business, including possible delays in customer orders, potential loss of customers, key employees, partners or vendors, uncertain customer demand and support obligations for new product offerings, and disruption of ongoing business operations and diversion of management attention;

•

increased competition in the market for Synopsys’ products and services including through consolidation in the industry and among our customers;

•

changes in demand for Synopsys’ products due to fluctuations in demand for its customers’ products;

•

the possibility of litigation, including litigation relating to Synopsys’ acquisition of Magma;

•

lower-than-anticipated new IC design starts;

•

lower-than-anticipated purchases or delays in purchases of software or consulting services by Synopsys’ customers, including delays in the renewal, or non-renewal, of Synopsys’ license arrangements with major customers;

•

changes in the mix of time-based licenses and upfront licenses;

•

lower-than-expected orders; and

•

failure of customers to pay license fees as scheduled.

In addition, Synopsys’ actual expenses, earnings per share and tax rate on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2012, actual expenses, earnings per share, tax rate, and other projections on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for fiscal year, and cash flow from operations on a GAAP basis for fiscal year 2012 could differ materially from the targets stated under “Financial Targets” above for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, (i) integration and other acquisition-related costs such as those arising from Synopsys’ acquisition of Magma, including amortization of intangible assets and costs formerly capitalized but now expensed due to new accounting guidance related to business combinations, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions, (ii) application of the actual consolidated GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates for such periods, or judgment by management, based upon the status of pending audits and settlements to increase or decrease an income tax asset or liability, (iii) a determination by Synopsys that any portion of its goodwill or intangible assets have become impaired, (iv) changes in the anticipated amount of employee stock-based compensation expense recognized on Synopsys’ financial statements, (v) actual change in the fair value of Synopsys’ non-qualified deferred compensation plan obligations, (vi) increases or decreases to estimated capital expenditures, (vii) changes driven by new accounting rules, regulations, interpretations or guidance, (viii) general economic conditions, and (ix) other risks as detailed in Synopsys’ SEC filings, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section in its latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. Furthermore, Synopsys’ actual tax rates applied to income for the second quarter and fiscal year 2012 could differ from the targets given in this press release as a result of a number of factors, including the actual geographic mix of revenue during the quarter and year, and actions by the government.

Finally, Synopsys’ targets for outstanding shares in the second quarter and fiscal year 2012 could differ from the targets given in this press release as a result of higher than expected employee stock plan issuances or stock option exercises, acquisitions, including Synopsys’ assumption of certain equity awards in connection with its acquisition of Magma, and the extent of Synopsys’ stock repurchase activity.

Synopsys is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter any of the forward-looking statements made in this earnings release, the conference call or the financial supplement whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless otherwise required by law.
