Cadence Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif. , 01 Feb 2017

Click here for the Q4 2016 Financial Schedules.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016.

Cadence reported fourth quarter 2016 revenue of $469 million, compared to revenue of $441 million reported for the same period in 2015. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized net income of $38 million, or $0.14 per share on a diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $80 million, or $0.26 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2015. Revenue for 2016 totaled $1.816 billion, compared to revenue of $1.702 billion for 2015. Net income for 2016 was $203 million, or $0.70 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $252 million, or $0.81 per share on a diluted basis for 2015.

Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net income in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $95 million, or $0.34 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $95 million, or $0.31 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2015. For 2016, non-GAAP net income was $351 million, or $1.21 per share on a diluted basis, compared to non-GAAP net income of $341 million, or $1.09 per share on a diluted basis, in 2015.

“Through focus on innovation and execution, Cadence again delivered strong results for both the fourth quarter and fiscal 2016. Core EDA is foundational to our System Design Enablement (SDE) strategy, and digital and signoff revenue grew 9 percent for the year on strong customer adoption, while in System Integration, Palladium® Z1 had a phenomenal year with hardware revenue surging to a record high,” said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. “SDE is expanding our reach with systems companies and into segments like automotive, aerospace and defense, where we had key wins with important customers in 2016.”

“Cadence continued to deliver consistent, predictable financial results in 2016 with operating cash flow generation a standout at $445 million, up 18 percent over 2015.” said Geoff Ribar, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “I am especially proud of the quality of our balance sheet. In the fourth quarter we completed our $1.2 billion stock repurchase program, cumulatively repurchasing 52 million shares representing approximately 18 percent of shares outstanding as of July 4, 2015. This week, we replaced our December 2012 senior credit facility, increasing our borrowing capacity and extending the term; and we maintain an investment grade rating for our outstanding public debt.”

On January 30, 2017, Cadence entered into a new $350 million five year senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders, which replaces the December 2012 senior credit facility.

On January 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of Cadence authorized the repurchase of $525 million of Cadence common stock. The actual timing and amount of repurchases will be subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, acquisition opportunities and other factors.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. 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. Investors are also encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance.

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. Non-GAAP net income is calculated by Cadence management by taking GAAP net income and excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets and debt discount related to convertible notes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including retention expenses, special charges (comprised of executive severance costs), investment gains or losses, income or expenses related to Cadence’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, restructuring and other significant items not directly related to Cadence’s core business operations, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments.

Cadence’s management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of the company’s core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence’s management and investors regarding the performance of the business operations, facilitates comparisons to the historical operating results and allows the review of Cadence’s business from the same perspective as Cadence’s management, including forecasting and budgeting.

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 17, 2017, Cadence will observe a Quiet Period during which the business outlook as provided in this press release and the 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 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 2017 earnings release is published, which is currently scheduled for April 24, 2017.
