Synopsys Posts Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2013
Q1 2013 Financial Highlights
- Revenue: $475.1 million
- GAAP earnings per share: $0.45
- Non-GAAP earnings per share: $0.67

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a global leader providing software, IP and services used to accelerate innovation in chips and electronic systems, today reported results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, Synopsys reported revenue of $475.1 million, compared to $425.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 11.7 percent.  

"In the first fiscal quarter of 2013 our business, technology progress, and customer engagements were strong across the board," said Aart de Geus, chairman and co-CEO of Synopsys.  "Semiconductor companies are aggressively pushing both technology and efficiency to develop differentiated products within very tight market windows, and Synopsys is a key partner in these quests. Because of our strong first fiscal quarter results, including the impact of the reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit, and confidence in our business, we are raising our non-GAAP earnings per share target for the year."

GAAP Results
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $69.9 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to $56.7 million, or $0.39 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. 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 2013 was $103.0 million, or $0.67 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $82.3 million, or $0.56 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. 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. 

Fiscal first quarter GAAP and non-GAAP results included the impact of the reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit for 2012 and 2013. The fiscal first quarter results include a retroactive benefit of $6 million for fiscal year 2012, as well as a $2 million current quarter impact.

Financial Targets
Synopsys also provided its financial targets for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2013.  These targets do not include any impact of future acquisition-related activities. These targets constitute forward-looking information and are based on current expectations. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these targets, see "Forward-Looking Statements" below. 

Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 Targets:

  • Revenue: $490 million - $500 million
  • GAAP expenses: $409 million - $425 million
  • Non-GAAP expenses: $362 million - $372 million
  • Other income and expense: ($1) million - $1 million
  • Tax rate applied in non-GAAP net income calculations: 24 - 25 percent
  • Fully diluted outstanding shares: 154 million - 158 million
  • GAAP earnings per share: $0.38- $0.44
  • Non-GAAP earnings per share: $0.63 - $0.65
  • Revenue from backlog: approximately 90 percent

Full Fiscal Year 2013 Targets:

  • Revenue: $1.955 billion - $1.975 billion
  • Other income and expense: $1 million - $5 million
  • Tax rate applied in non-GAAP net income calculations: approximately 23 percent
  • Fully diluted outstanding shares: 155 million - 159 million
  • GAAP earnings per share: $1.44 - $1.56
  • Non-GAAP earnings per share: $2.35 - $2.40
  • Cash flow from operations: at least $350 million

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, including inventory fair value adjustments, (iv) other significant items, including facilities restructuring charges and the effect of benefits from tax settlements with tax authorities, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
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," and certain other statements, including statements regarding customer demand for our technology and predictable business model, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 it completes, including the recent acquisitions of Magma Design Automation, SpringSoft, and EVE, and the difficulties in the integration of the products and operations of acquired companies or assets into Synopsys' products and operations, including delays in customer orders, potential loss of customers, key employees, partners or vendors, customer demand and support obligations for 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;
  • adverse changes in the relationships between Synopsys and key participants in the complex semiconductor ecosystem, including major foundries and intellectual property providers;
  • litigation;
  • 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, 2013; actual expenses, earnings per share, tax rate, and other projections on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for fiscal year 2013; and cash flow from operations on a GAAP basis for fiscal year 2013 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, (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) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,  (ix) general economic conditions, and (x) 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, 2012. Furthermore, Synopsys' actual tax rates applied to income for the second quarter and fiscal year 2013 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 2013 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, 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.
