Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in semiconductor design software, today reported results for its second quarter ended April 30, 2005.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2005, Synopsys reported revenue of $244.3 million, a 1% increase compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and a 17% decrease from $294.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, revenue was $485.6 million, a decrease of 16% from revenue of $579.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2004. The year-over-year comparisons reflect the company's shift to an almost-fully ratable license model initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, under which most of the company's license revenue is recognized over time rather than upfront in the quarter shipped. As a result, in the most recent quarter more than 90% of revenue came from backlog.
"Synopsys had another very solid quarter," said Aart de Geus, CEO of Synopsys. "We are clearly on the offensive with strong technical momentum, and are making good progress on our growth objectives."
GAAP Results
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 net loss was ($4.9) million, or ($0.03) per share, better than Synopsys internal targets and an improvement over the first quarter of fiscal 2005. In the second quarter of last year, net income was $28.7 million, or $0.18 per share.
GAAP net loss for the six-month period ended April 30, 2005 was ($19.3) million, or ($0.13) per share, compared to net income of $60.9 million, or $0.37 per share, for the same period in 2004.
Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $12.7 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $57.1 million, or $0.35 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Non-GAAP net income for the six-month period ended April 30, 2005 was $27.4 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $111.4 million, or $0.68 per share, for the same period in 2004. Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding, to the extent incurred in a particular quarter or period, amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses and one-time items and facilities and workforce realignment charges.
The decreases in GAAP and non-GAAP net income for these periods were due primarily to the decrease in revenue caused by our shift to an almost-fully ratable license model in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
Financial Targets
Synopsys also announced its operating model targets for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2005. 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.
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 Targets:
-- Revenue: $243 million - $253 million
-- GAAP expenses: $252 million - $263 million
-- Non-GAAP expenses: $228 million - $238 million
-- GAAP other income and expense: $30 million - $37 million (including
preliminary estimate of valuation of Nassda litigation settlement)
-- Non-GAAP other income and expense: $0 million - $4 million (excluding
preliminary estimate of valuation of Nassda litigation settlement)
-- Fully diluted outstanding shares: 142 million - 150 million
-- Tax rate applied in Non-GAAP net income calculations: 28%
-- GAAP earnings: $0.08 - $0.12 per share
-- Non-GAAP earnings: $0.06 - $0.10 per share
-- Revenue from backlog: more than 90% of revenue
Full-Year Fiscal Year 2005 Targets
-- Revenue: $960 million - $990 million
-- Fully diluted outstanding shares: 142 million - 150 million
-- Tax rate applied in Non-GAAP net income calculations: 31%
-- GAAP earnings: $(0.06) - $(0.01) per share
-- Non-GAAP earnings: $0.31 - $0.39 per share
These targets supersede all fiscal 2005 financial targets previously published by Synopsys and include Synopsys' current best estimate of the impact of the acquisition of Nassda Corporation, which Synopsys completed on May 11, 2005 on the results of the combined company.
GAAP Reconciliation
Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding, to the extent incurred in a particular period, amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses and one-time items and facilities and workforce realignment charges. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology, contract rights intangible, customer- installed base/relationships, trademarks and trade names, covenants not to compete, customer backlog and other intangibles. Non-GAAP net income is reduced by the amount of additional taxes that Synopsys would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate Synopsys' tax liability.
Synopsys' management evaluates and makes operating decisions primarily based on the bookings and revenues of its core software and services business operations, the direct, ongoing and recurring costs of those operations such as cost of revenues and operating expenses, and gross margin and operating income. Management does not believe amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses and one-time items and facilities and workforce realignment charges are ordinary, ongoing and recurring operating costs of core software and services business operations. Therefore, management calculates the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this earnings release excluding these costs and uses these non-GAAP financial measures to enable it to analyze further and more consistently the period-to- period financial performance of its core business operations. 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.
Reconciliation of Second Quarter Results
The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP in the calculation of non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements made in this press release regarding projected financial results in the sections entitled "Financial Targets," and "GAAP Reconciliation -- Reconciliation of Estimated 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 the risk of:
-- weakness or continued budgetary caution in the semiconductor or
electronic systems industries;
-- lower-than-expected research and development spending by semiconductor
and electronic systems companies;
-- 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;
-- unexpected changes in the mix of time-based licenses and upfront
licenses;
-- lower-than-expected bookings of licenses on which revenue is recognized
upfront;
-- lower-than-anticipated new IC design starts;
-- competition in the market for Synopsys' products and services;
-- failure to continue to improving Synopsys' existing products;
-- failure to successfully develop additional intellectual property blocks
for Synopsys' IP business or to develop and integrate its design for
manufacturing products;
-- difficulties in the ongoing integration of the products and operations
of acquired companies or assets into Synopsys' products and operations;
and
-- continued downward pressure on maintenance orders, adversely affecting
Synopsys' future level of service revenue.
In addition, Synopsys' actual expenses, other income and expense and earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2005 and earnings per share and estimated operating cash flow on a GAAP basis for full fiscal year 2005 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 intangible assets have become impaired, (ii) changes in deferred stock compensation expenses caused by employee terminations, (iii) completion of purchase price accounting and litigation settlement valuation for the Nassda acquisition which closed on May 11, 2005, (iv) application of actual consolidated GAAP tax rate for such periods, (v) integration and other acquisition-related expenses and one-time items, amortization of additional intangible assets and deferred stock compensation associated with future acquisitions, if any, and (vi) increases or decreases to estimated capital expenditures.
For further discussion of these and other factors that may cause results to differ from those projected in this release, readers are referred to the reports which Synopsys has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and which are available at www.sec.gov, particularly the information contained in Part I, Item 2 of Synopsys' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2005 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2005 under the caption entitled "Factors That May Affect Future Results."
