Synopsys Posts Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2009MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Aug. 19, 2009 -- Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, today reported results for its third quarter ended July 31, 2009. For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Synopsys reported revenue of $345.2 million compared to $344.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. "Synopsys again made excellent progress towards delivering on our year's objectives," said Aart de Geus, chairman and CEO of Synopsys. "We are actively working with customers to help them successfully navigate the economic recovery, and are positioning ourselves for even greater strength in the future." GAAP Results On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $47.4 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to $57.7 million, or $0.39 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, which included a $17.3 million tax benefit associated with the settlement of an IRS tax issue for fiscal years 2000 and 2001. Non-GAAP Results On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $68.3 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $64.5 million, or $0.44 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release. Financial Targets Synopsys also provided its financial targets for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2009. 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. Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009 Targets:
Full-Year Fiscal Year 2009 Targets:
In the second quarter, the Company reached a tentative settlement with the IRS that would resolve a dispute regarding its 2002-2004 returns, primarily associated with the acquisition of Avant!. The tentative settlement is subject to further approval by the government. If approved, we expect it to result in a cash payment to the IRS of approximately $50 million, most likely within the next 12 months. If the tentative settlement is approved, this payment would be fully offset by tax reductions in future years. GAAP Reconciliation Synopsys continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Synopsys presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Synopsys' operating results in a manner that focuses on what Synopsys believes to be its ongoing business operations and what Synopsys uses to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Synopsys' management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Synopsys' management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes: (i) share-based compensation; (ii) the amortization of acquired intangible assets and in-process research and development charges; (iii) other significant items, including the effect of a tax benefit from a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service, and (iv) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes; and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of Synopsys' business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever Synopsys uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed below.
