Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in semiconductor design software, today reported results for its first quarter ended January 31, 2007.
For the first quarter, Synopsys reported revenue of $300.2 million, a 15 percent increase compared to $260.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
"After a very successful 2006, we continued our excellent execution with a strong first quarter of 2007," said Aart de Geus, chairman and CEO of Synopsys. "We delivered excellent financial results, and saw continued product momentum with technology advances, competitive wins, and customer adoptions."
GAAP Results
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $23.4 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.01 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $44.0 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $26.4 million, or $0.18 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding employee stock- based compensation expense calculated in accordance with FAS 123( R ) and, to the extent incurred in a particular quarter or period, amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, facilities and workforce realignment charges, and other significant items which, in the opinion of management, are infrequent or non-recurring. See "GAAP Reconciliation" below.
Financial Targets
Synopsys also announced its operating model targets for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 Targets: -- Revenue: $285 million - $295 million -- GAAP expenses: $255 million - $276 million -- Non-GAAP expenses: $230 million - $245 million -- Other income and expense: $0 million - $5 million -- Tax rate applied in non-GAAP net income calculations: 27 - 28 percent -- Fully diluted outstanding shares: 145 million - 151 million -- GAAP earnings per share: $0.11 - $0.17 -- Non-GAAP earnings per share: $0.26 - $0.29 -- Revenue from backlog: more than 90 percent Full-Year Fiscal Year 2007 Targets -- Revenue: $1.185 billion - $1.205 billion -- Tax rate applied in non-GAAP net income calculations: 26 - 27 percent -- Fully diluted outstanding shares: 145 million - 151 million -- GAAP earnings per share: $0.64 - $0.77 -- Non-GAAP earnings per share: $1.23 - $1.31 -- Cash flow from operations: greater than $275 million GAAP Reconciliation
Synopsys' management evaluates and makes decisions about the Company's business operations primarily based on the bookings, revenue and direct, ongoing and recurring costs of those operations. Management does not believe amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, facilities and workforce realignment charges and other significant infrequent items are ongoing and recurring operating costs of its core software, intellectual property and service business operations. In addition, while employee stock- based compensation expense calculated in accordance with FAS 123( R ) and change in the fair value of the Company's non-qualified deferred plan compensation plan obligations constitute ongoing and recurring expenses of the Company, such expenses are excluded from non-GAAP results because they are not expenses that require cash settlement by the Company and because such expenses are not used by management to assess the core profitability of the Company's business operations. Therefore, management excludes such costs, to the extent incurred in a particular quarter, from the following GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release: total cost of revenue, gross margin, total operating expenses, operating income (loss), income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes, provision (benefit) for income taxes, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share.
For each such measure, excluding these costs provides management with more consistent, comparable information about the Company's core profitability. For example, since the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, management would have difficulty evaluating the Company's profitability as measured by gross margin, operating margin, income before taxes and net income on a period-to-period basis unless it excluded acquisition-related charges. Similarly, the Company does not undertake significant restructuring or realignments on a regular basis, and, as a result, excludes associated charges in order to enable better and more consistent evaluations of the Company's operating expenses before and after such actions are taken. Management also uses these measures to help it make budgeting decisions, for example, as between product development expenses (which affect cost of revenue and gross margin) and research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses (which affect operating expenses and operating margin). Finally, the availability of such information helps management track performance to both internal and externally communicated financial targets and to its competitors' operating results.
Management recognizes that the use of these non-GAAP measures has certain limitations, including the fact that management must exercise judgment in determining whether certain types of charges, such as those relating to workforce reductions executed in the ordinary course, should be excluded from non-GAAP results. However, management believes that, although it is important for investors to understand GAAP measures, providing investors with these non- GAAP measures gives them additional important information to enable them to assess, in a way management assesses, Synopsys' current and future continuing operations.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements made in this press release regarding projected financial results in the sections entitled "Financial Targets," and "Reconciliation of Target Operating Results" and 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:
-- weakness or continued budgetary caution in the semiconductor or
electronics industries;
-- lower-than-expected research and development spending by semiconductor
and electronic systems companies;
-- competition in the market for Synopsys' products and services;
-- lower-than-anticipated new IC design starts;
-- lower-than-anticipated purchases or delays in purchases of software or
consulting services by Synopsys' customers;
-- failure of customers to pay license fees as scheduled;
-- unexpected changes in the mix of time-based licenses and upfront
licenses;
-- failure of our cost control efforts, including our recent efforts to
outsource certain internal functions, to result in the anticipated
savings;
-- failure to successfully develop additional intellectual property blocks
for its IP business or to develop and integrate its design for
manufacturing products; and
-- difficulties in the integration of the products and operations of
acquired companies or assets into Synopsys' products and operations.
In addition, Synopsys' actual expenses and earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2007 and actual earnings per share and operating cash flow on a GAAP basis for fiscal year 2007 could differ materially from the targets stated under "Financial Targets" above for a number of reasons, including (i) a determination by Synopsys that any portion of its goodwill or intangible assets have become impaired, (ii) application of the actual consolidated GAAP tax rate for such periods, (iii) integration and other acquisition-related expenses, amortization of additional intangible assets associated with future acquisitions, if any, (iv) changes in the anticipated amount of employee stock-based compensation recognized on the Company's financial statements, (v) actual change in the fair value of the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan obligations, (vi) increases or decreases to estimated capital expenditures, and (vii) and charges driven by adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements," which we are required to adopt during fiscal year 2007. Furthermore, Synopsys' actual tax rates applied to non-GAAP net income for the second quarter and full-year fiscal 2007 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. Finally, Synopsys' targets for outstanding shares in the second quarter and full-year fiscal 2007 could differ from the targets given in this press release as a result of higher than expected employee stock plan issuances, acquisitions and the extent of the Company's 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.

(1) Synopsys' first quarter ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31
(i.e. February 3). For presentation purposes, the Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations refer to a calendar month end.
(2) Adjustments consist of share-based compensation and related tax effect
under FAS 123( R ), changes in fair value of non-qualified deferred
compensation plan obligation and to the extent incurred amortization
of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges,
integration and other significant items, which in the opinion of
management are extraordinary. Pre-tax income for the three months
ended January 31, 2007 included total share-based compensation of
$16.2 million as follows: cost of revenue $2.6 million; research &
development $4.7 million; sales & marketing $5.7 million; general &
administrative $3.2 million. For the three months period ended
January 31, 2006, approximately $18.4 million of share-based
compensation was recorded. During the quarter ended January 31, 2007,
the change in the fair value of the non-qualified plan obligation was
a increase of $3.7 million. This resulted in increased compensation
expense of $3.7 million ($0.2 million cost of revenue, $2.0 million
research & development, $0.9 million sales & marketing, $0.6 million
general & administrative), and a corresponding increase to other
income, net. During the quarter ended January 31, 2006, the change in
the fair value of the non-qualified plan obligation was an increase of
$1.6 million. There was no net effect on income before taxes or net
income for each of the respective quarters.
