Synopsys Posts Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2004
PRNewswire-FirstCall
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.
Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in semiconductor design software, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, Synopsys reported revenue of $230.6 million, a 27% decrease compared to revenue of $316.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The decrease is due primarily to a further shift in Synopsys' license mix away from software licenses on which revenue is recognized when the product is shipped ("upfront" licenses) and toward licenses on which revenue is recognized over the term of the license. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, revenue from upfront licenses was $69 million less than revenue from such licenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.
For fiscal year 2004, Synopsys reported annual revenue of $1.09 billion, a 7.2% decrease compared to revenue of $1.18 billion in 2003. The decrease in annual revenue reflects primarily the shift in license mix in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, a lower level of orders than expected in fiscal 2004, and a decrease in maintenance revenue.
GAAP Results
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, net loss was $(28.4) million, or $(0.19) per share, compared to net income of $44.6 million, or $0.27 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 was $74.3 million, or $0.46 per share, compared to $149.7 million, or $0.95 per share, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003. The decrease in net income for the fiscal year was due primarily to lower revenue and other income, an increase in cost of services revenue due to increased field support headcount and an increase in amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions.
Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, net income was $1.8 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $71.6 million, or $0.44 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 was $166.4 million, or $1.04 per share, compared to $252.1 million, or $1.59 per share, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003.
A description of the items excluded from non-GAAP results and a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results are contained in the section entitled "GAAP Reconciliation" below. Per share data for the periods presented reflect Synopsys' two-for-one stock split completed on September 23, 2003.
Fourth Quarter Business Environment
"We made solid progress in the fourth quarter, executing on the planned shift in our license mix with ratable licenses accounting for, as expected, for over 90% of our license orders for the quarter," said Aart de Geus, chairman and chief executive officer. "We also saw the initial customer benefits of major technology advancements in our core Galaxy™ design and Discovery ™ verification platforms, while making strategic investments in Design for Manufacturing and reusable Intellectual Property. With a good Q4, we have positioned the company well for competitive wins in 2005."
Fiscal 2005 Financial Targets
Synopsys also announced its operating model targets for the first quarter and fiscal year 2005. These targets are 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.
First Quarter of Fiscal 2005 Targets * Revenue: $233 million - $243 million * Non-GAAP expenses: $223 million - $233 million * GAAP expenses: $264.5 million - $277 million * Other income and expense: $(1.5) million - $1.5 million * Fully diluted outstanding shares: 144 million - 152 million * Tax rate applied in net income calculations: 31% * Non-GAAP earnings: $0.03 - $0.07 per share * GAAP earnings: $(0.17) - $(0.12) per share * Revenue from backlog: over 90% of revenue Fiscal Year 2005 Targets * Revenue: $930 million - $980 million * Fully diluted outstanding shares: 144 million - 152 million * Tax rate applied in net income calculations: 31% * Non-GAAP earnings: $0.22 - $0.32 per share * GAAP earnings: $0.00 - $0.11 per share
These targets supersede all fiscal 2005 financial targets previously given by Synopsys.
GAAP Reconciliation
Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding, to the extent incurred in a particular quarter or fiscal year, amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses and facilities and workforce realignment charges. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology, contract rights intangible, customer-installed base/relationships, trademarks and tradenames, 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 and the direct, ongoing and recurring costs of those operations such as cost of revenues and research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. 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 facilities and workforce realignment charges are ordinary, ongoing and recurring operating charges for Synopsys' core software and services business operations. Therefore, management calculates the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release excluding these charges 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements made in this press release regarding projected or expected future events or financial results in the sections entitled "Fourth Quarter Business Environment," "Fiscal 2005 Financial Targets," and "GAAP Reconciliation - Reconciliation of Estimated Target Operating Results" 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:
* continued 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 improve 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;
* adverse variations from currently projected customer payment terms;
and
* continued downward pressure on maintenance orders, adversely
affecting Synopsys' future level of service revenue.
In addition, Synopsys' actual expenses and earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2005 and earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the full fiscal year 2005 could differ materially from the targets stated under "Fiscal 2005 Financial Targets" above for a number of reasons, including (i) completion of the purchase accounting for Synopsys' acquisition transactions completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2005; (ii) a determination by Synopsys that any portion of its intangible assets have become impaired, (iii) changes in deferred stock compensation expenses caused by employee terminations, and (iv) integration and other acquisition-related expenses, amortization of additional intangible assets and deferred stock compensation associated with future acquisitions, if any.
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, specifically the section contained in Part I, Item 2 of Synopsys' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 filed with the Commission on September 14, 2004 entitled "Factors That May Affect Future Results."
