Synopsys Posts Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2018MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Feb. 21, 2018 -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today reported results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. For the first quarter of fiscal 2018, Synopsys reported revenue of $769.4 million, compared to $652.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, an increase of approximately 17.9 percent. Fiscal 2018 results include a favorable impact of one additional week compared to fiscal 2017, which occurred in our first fiscal quarter. "We began fiscal 2018 on a strong note, exceeding expectations, raising full-year revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share guidance, and returning capital to shareholders with a $200M buyback initiated in fiscal Q1," said Aart de Geus, chairman and co-CEO. "Propelled by the evolving age of 'Smart Everything,' semiconductor and systems companies, along with software developers across many industries, are driving digitization and machine learning, which require more and more advanced chips, sophisticated hardware/software interaction and high levels of software security. As the Silicon to Software partner, our unique combination of leading technologies positions us well to participate in this dynamic wave of opportunity." GAAP Results On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income (loss) for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $(3.7) million, or $(0.02) per share, compared to $86.6 million, or $0.56 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. First quarter fiscal 2018 results include one-time tax expenses of approximately $119 million associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("tax reform"). Non-GAAP Results On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $169.6 million, or $1.10 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $145.1 million, or $0.94 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. First quarter fiscal 2018 results include a benefit of approximately $0.08 per share as a result of tax reform. A 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 second quarter and full fiscal year 2018, which do not include any impact of future acquisition-related activities or costs. These targets constitute forward-looking statements 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. Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018 Targets:
Full Fiscal Year 2018 Targets:
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 core business operations and what Synopsys uses to evaluate its business 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) the amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of stock compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, (iv) restructuring charges, (v) the effects of certain settlements, final judgments and loss contingencies related to legal proceedings, (vi) the impact of a one-time transition tax resulting from U.S. tax reform (referred to as the "Income tax related to transition tax"), (vii) the impact of a reduction in value of deferred tax assets caused by a reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate (referred to as the "Income tax related to tax rate change"), and (viii) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments; 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. In fiscal 2016, Synopsys began utilizing a normalized annual non-GAAP tax rate in the calculation of its non-GAAP measures that is based on our projected annual tax rate through fiscal 2018. In projecting this rate, we evaluated our historical and projected mix of U.S. and international profit before tax, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, the amortization of purchased intangibles and other non-GAAP adjustments described above. We also considered other factors including our current tax structure, our existing tax positions, and expected recurring tax incentives, such as the U.S. federal research and development tax credit. On an annual basis we re-evaluate this rate for significant events that may materially affect our projections and, as a result of U.S. tax reform in December 2017, which lowered the U.S. statutory rate from 35% to 21%, we adjusted our normalized annual non-GAAP tax rate from 19% to 13% for fiscal 2018. We will re-evaluate this rate again for fiscal 2019, but we expect that our normalized annual non-GAAP tax rate will exceed 13%, but be below 19%, for fiscal 2019. Whenever Synopsys uses 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, as well as in Item 2.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 21, 2018 for additional information about the measures Synopsys uses to evaluate its core business operations. Reconciliation of First Quarter Fiscal Year 2018 Results The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP in the calculation of non-GAAP net income and earnings per share for the periods indicated below.
(1) We provide both basic weighted-average outstanding shares and fully diluted weighted-average outstanding shares in net income (loss) per share calculation in the reconciliation of earnings per share amounts. If there is a GAAP net loss in a reporting period, we are required to use basic weighted-average outstanding shares to compute net loss per share to prevent anti-dilutive effect while we use fully diluted weighted-average outstanding shares to compute per share non-GAAP adjustments and net income. Reconciliation of Target Non-GAAP Operating Results The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP in the calculation of target non-GAAP operating results for the periods indicated below. GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Full Fiscal Year 2018 Targets (1) Synopsys' second quarter and fiscal year end on May 5, 2018 and November 3, 2018, respectively.
