Cadence Reports Q2 2009 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif. , 29 Jul 2009
Click here for the Q2 2009 Financial Schedules. Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the second quarter 2009. Cadence reported second quarter 2009 revenue of $210 million, compared to revenue of $308 million reported for the same period in 2008. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized a net loss of $74 million, or $(0.29) per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss of $19 million, or $(0.07) per share on a diluted basis in the same period in 2008. In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating Cadence's business, management believes it is useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income or net loss, which excludes, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, in-process research and development charges, costs related to a withdrawn acquisition proposal and losses on the sale of shares of the target company stock, integration and acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance costs, restructuring charges and credits, amortization of discount on convertible notes, equity in losses (income) from investments, write-down of investments, impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets, and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary. Non-GAAP net income or net loss is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability. See "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" below for further information on the non-GAAP measure. Using this non-GAAP measure, net loss in the second quarter of 2009 was $13 million, or $(0.05) per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $24 million, or $0.09 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period in 2008. “While we have not yet seen a recovery in EDA spending, the Cadence recovery is well underway,” said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. “We reduced our expense base, customer feedback is that the level of engineering and field engagement is extremely effective, and our key technologies continue to gain traction.” Added Kevin S. Palatnik, senior vice president and chief financial officer, “Our second quarter results demonstrate that we are reducing costs, improving profitability, and positioning the company for long term growth with excellent progress on our transition to the 90/10 model.” The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Business Outlook For the third quarter of 2009, the company expects total revenue in the range of $210 million to $220 million. Third quarter GAAP net loss per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $(0.14) to $(0.12). Net loss / net income per diluted share using the non-GAAP measure defined below is expected to be in the range of $(0.01) to $0.01. For the full year 2009, the company expects total revenue in the range of $830 million to $870 million. On a GAAP basis, net loss per diluted share for fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $(0.81) to $(0.69). Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net loss per diluted share for fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $(0.20) to $(0.08). A schedule showing a reconciliation of the business outlook from GAAP net loss and diluted net loss per share to the non-GAAP net income or net loss and diluted net income or net loss per share is included with this release.

For a detailed discussion of these and other cautionary statements, please refer to the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These include the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2009, the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 4, 2009, and the company’s future filings. Adoption of FASB Staff Position APB 14-1 On the first day of fiscal 2009, Cadence adopted FASB Staff Position APB, 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” Accordingly, Cadence has adjusted the applicable prior period balance sheets and statements of operations to reflect the adjusted balance of the convertible notes and related items, and to record the amortization of the discount on the convertible notes as non-cash interest expense. A reconciliation of Cadence’s as-adjusted Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 3, 2009 and its as-adjusted Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 28, 2008 to their respective statements as initially reported is included with this release. GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation Cadence management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various operating measures. These measures are generally based on the revenues of its product, maintenance and services business operations and certain costs of those operations, such as cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. One such measure is non-GAAP net income or net loss, which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is GAAP net income or net loss excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, in-process research and development charges, costs related to Cadence’s withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares, integration and acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance costs, restructuring charges and credits, amortization of discount on convertible notes, equity in losses (income) from investments, write-down of investments, impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets, and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary. 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 or net loss is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company 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, in-process research and development charges and integration and acquisition-related costs because these costs are primarily fixed at the time of an acquisition 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 enhances investors’ ability to review Cadence’s business from the same perspective as Cadence’s management, which believes that stock-based compensation expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company’s business operations. Cadence’s management also believes that it is useful to exclude restructuring charges and credits. During the second half of fiscal 2008 and the first half of fiscal 2009, Cadence commenced restructuring programs that it expects to complete in the first half of 2010. Cadence’s management believes that in measuring the company's operations, it is useful to exclude any such restructuring charges and credits because Cadence does not undertake significant restructuring on a regular basis, and exclusion of such charges permits consistent evaluations of Cadence’s performance before and after such actions are taken. Cadence’s management also believes it is useful to exclude executive severance costs because these costs do not occur frequently. Cadence’s management 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 and expenses 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 the amortization of the discount on convertible notes recorded under FSP APB 14-1 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. Cadence’s management also believes it is useful to exclude the equity in losses (income) from investments and write-down 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 (expense) and are part of the company's investment activities. Finally, Cadence’s management also believes it is useful to exclude impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets, and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary because these do not occur on a regular basis and are not part of the company’s direct costs of operations. During fiscal year 2008, Cadence’s non-GAAP net loss also excluded the impact of tax expense associated with recording a valuation allowance against Cadence’s deferred tax assets. Cadence’s management believes it is useful to exclude the tax expense associated with this valuation allowance because Cadence does not expect changes in the valuation allowance of the magnitude recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 to be recorded frequently. During fiscal year 2008, Cadence’s non-GAAP net loss also excluded the impact of tax expense associated with Cadence’s repatriation of foreign earnings. Cadence’s management believes it is useful to exclude the tax expense associated with the repatriation of foreign earnings because it resulted from an event that is not expected to occur frequently. During fiscal year 2008, Cadence’s non-GAAP net loss also excluded costs related to Cadence’s withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares Cadence acquired as part of the proposed acquisition. Cadence’s management believes that in measuring Cadence’s operations it is useful to exclude the costs and the losses associated with this proposed acquisition because these items are not directly related to Cadence’s operating performance and resulted from events that are not expected to occur frequently. Cadence’s management believes that non-GAAP net income or net loss 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 loss and GAAP net loss per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP net income or net loss and non-GAAP net income or net loss per diluted share for the periods shown below:
* Adjusted for the retrospective adoption of FSP APB 14-1
* Adjusted for the retrospective adoption of FSP APB 14-1 Investors are encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance. For example, amortization of intangibles or in-process technology are important to consider because they may represent initial expenditures that under GAAP are reported across future fiscal periods. Likewise, stock-based compensation expense is an obligation of the company that should be considered. Restructuring charges can be triggered by acquisitions or product adjustments, as well as overall company performance within a given business environment. All of these metrics are important to financial performance generally. Although Cadence’s management finds the non-GAAP measure useful in evaluating the performance of Cadence's business, reliance on this measure is limited because items excluded from such measures often have a material effect on Cadence's earnings and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, Cadence’s management typically uses the non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, in conjunction with the GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, to address these limitations. Cadence’s management believes that presenting the non-GAAP measure of earnings and earnings per share provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the performance of the company's business, which Cadence’s management uses in its own evaluation of performance, and an additional baseline for assessing the future earnings potential of the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, Cadence’s management prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental measure since it may provide additional insights into the company’s financial results. 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 Web site. 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 September 18, 2009, 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 Third Quarter 2009 Earnings Release is published, which is currently scheduled for October 28, 2009.
