SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012.

Cadence reported fourth quarter 2012 revenue of $346 million, compared to revenue of $308 million reported for the same period in 2011. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized net income of $314 million, or $1.10 per share on a diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $11 million, or $0.04 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period in 2011. Revenue for 2012 totaled $1.326 billion, compared to revenue of $1.150 billion for 2011. Net income for 2012 was $440 million, or $1.57 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $72 million, or $0.27 per share on a diluted basis, for 2011. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 included a $220 million income tax benefit from releasing a valuation allowance against Cadence's deferred tax assets and a $37 million income tax benefit related to the settlement of a State of California examination of Cadence's state income tax returns for the tax years 2001 through 2003.

Using Cadence's non-GAAP measure, net income in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $58 million, or $0.20 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $46 million, or $0.17 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period in 2011. For 2012, non-GAAP net income was $217 million, or $0.77 per share on a diluted basis, compared to non-GAAP net income of $138 million or $0.51 per share on a diluted basis, in 2011.

"In 2012, we executed on multiple aspects of our strategy," said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. "In Silicon Realization, we demonstrated market leading technology for the newest process nodes, multi-core based design, 3DIC, low-power and mixed-signal as well as advanced verification. In SoC Realization, we significantly expanded our IP and VIP portfolios and revenue grew over 30 percent. In System Realization, Palladium XP had record revenue and we strengthened our printed circuit board platform with the acquisition of Sigrity."

"Cadence also produced strong financial results in 2012," added Geoff Ribar, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Revenue grew 15 percent, operating profitability improved approximately five percentage points, and operating cash flow increased 31 percent. With $827 million of cash and short term investments at year end, our balance sheet is well positioned to support our strategy and meet our debt obligations."

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2013, the company expects total revenue in the range of $342 million to $352 million. First quarter GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.23 to $0.24. Net income per diluted share using the non-GAAP measure defined below is expected to be in the range of $0.19 to $0.20.

For 2013, the company expects total revenue in the range of $1.405 billion to $1.445 billion. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share for 2013 is expected to be in the range of $0.58 to $0.68. Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net income per diluted share for 2013 is expected to be in the range of $0.82 to $0.92.

A schedule showing a reconciliation of the business outlook from GAAP net income and diluted net income per share to non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share is included with this release.

GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation

To supplement Cadence's financial results presented on a GAAP basis, Cadence management uses non-GAAP measures that it believes are helpful in understanding Cadence's performance. One such measure is non-GAAP net income, which is a financial measure not calculated under GAAP, and is calculated by taking GAAP net income and excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, integration and acquisition-related costs, including changes in contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions and asset purchases, acquisition-related income tax benefits, shareholder litigation costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive and other employee severance costs, restructuring charges and credits, amortization of discount on convertible notes, equity in losses or income from investments, write-down of investments and gains or losses on the sale of investments. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased or licensed technology, backlog, patents, trademarks, distribution rights, customer contracts and related relationships and non-compete agreements. Non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that Cadence would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability.

Cadence's management believes it is useful in measuring Cadence's operations to exclude amortization of intangible assets and integration and acquisition-related costs, including changes in contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions and asset purchases, because these costs are inconsistent in size, are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of those acquisitions and generally cannot be changed by Cadence's management in the short term. In addition, Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense because it is based on many subjective inputs at a point in time and many of these inputs are not necessarily directly attributable to the underlying performance of Cadence's business operations, and such exclusion enhances investors' ability to review Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence's management. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude costs related to shareholder litigation because these costs are not related to Cadence's core business operations. Cadence's management also believes that it is useful to exclude restructuring charges and credits. Cadence's management believes that in measuring the company's operations, it is useful to exclude any such restructuring charges and credits because exclusion of such charges and credits permits consistent evaluations of Cadence's performance before and after such actions are taken. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude gains or losses and expenses or credits related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets because these gains or losses and expenses or credits are not part of Cadence's direct costs of operations, but reflect changes in the value of assets held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude executive and other employee severance costs because exclusion of such costs permits consistent evaluations of Cadence's performance. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude the amortization of the discount on convertible notes because this incremental cost recorded as interest expense does not represent a cash obligation of the company and is not part of Cadence's direct cost of operations. Finally, Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the equity in losses or income from investments, write-down of investments and gains or losses on the sale of investments because these items are not part of Cadence's direct cost of operations. Rather, these are non-operating items that are included in other income or expense and are part of the company's investment activities.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Cadence's non-GAAP net income also excluded the effect of an income tax benefit associated with the release of a valuation allowance against Cadence's deferred tax assets. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the tax benefit associated with the release of this valuation allowance as Cadence does not expect releases in the valuation allowance of the magnitude recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 to be recorded frequently.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Cadence's non-GAAP net income also excluded the effect of an income tax benefit associated with Cadence's effective settlement of a State of California examination of Cadence's state income tax returns for the tax years 2001 through 2003. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the income tax benefit associated with this settlement because Cadence does not expect settlements resulting in income tax benefits of the magnitude recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 to occur frequently.

During the third quarter of 2012, Cadence's non-GAAP net income also excluded the effect of an income tax benefit associated with Cadence's acquisition of Sigrity, Inc. During the second quarter of 2011, Cadence's non-GAAP net income also excluded the effect of an income tax benefit associated with an acquisition Cadence completed during the second quarter of 2011. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the tax benefits associated with these acquisitions because exclusion of such tax benefits permits consistent evaluations of Cadence's performance. Cadence does not expect an acquisition-related income tax benefit of the magnitude recorded in the third quarter of 2012 to be recorded frequently.

Cadence's management believes that non-GAAP net income provides useful supplemental information to Cadence's management and investors regarding the performance of the company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to the company's historical operating results. Cadence's management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results.

The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the periods shown below:

Cadence expects that its corporate representatives will meet privately during the quarter with investors, the media, investment analysts and others. At these meetings, Cadence may reiterate the business outlook published in this press release. At the same time, Cadence will keep this press release, including the business outlook, publicly available on its website.

Prior to the start of the Quiet Period (described below), the public may continue to rely on the business outlook contained herein as still being Cadence's current expectations on matters covered unless Cadence publishes a notice stating otherwise.

Beginning March 15, 2013, Cadence will observe a Quiet Period during which the business outlook as provided in this press release and the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q no longer constitute the company's current expectations. During the Quiet Period, the business outlook in these documents should be considered to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to any update by the company. During the Quiet Period, Cadence's representatives will not comment on Cadence's business outlook, financial results or expectations. The Quiet Period will extend until the day when Cadence's First Quarter 2013 Earnings Release is published, which is currently scheduled for April 24, 2013.
