CDNS Cadence Design Systems Inc

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the third quarter of 2019.

Cadence reported third quarter 2019 revenue of $580 million, compared to revenue of $532 million reported for the same period in 2018. On a GAAP basis, Cadence achieved operating margin of 21 percent and recognized net income of $102 million, or $0.36 per share on a diluted basis, in the third quarter of 2019, compared to operating margin of 19 percent and net income of $99 million, or $0.35 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2018.

Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin for the third quarter of 2019 was 32 percent and net income was $153 million, or $0.54 per share on a diluted basis, compared to operating margin of 32 percent and net income of $139 million, or $0.49 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2018.

“Major industry trends led by AI and data analytics are driving strong design activity, which coupled with innovation and outstanding execution by Cadence, again led to strong operating results, as Cadence delivered 9 percent year-over-year revenue growth,” said Lip-Bu Tan, chief executive officer. “Our Intelligent System Design strategy enables us to provide more capabilities and value to our customers, while also expanding our total addressable market.”

“I am pleased with our third quarter results and outlook,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We are raising our outlook for revenue, operating margin, earnings and cash from operations for the year while we continue to invest in proliferation opportunities with market-shaping customers.”

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2019, the company expects total revenue in the range of $590 million to $600 million. Fourth quarter GAAP operating margin is expected to be approximately 20 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.33 to $0.35. Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin is expected to be approximately 30 percent and net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.52 to $0.54.

For 2019, the company expects total revenue in the range of $2.327 billion to $2.337 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating margin is expected to be in the range of 21.3 percent to 21.8 percent and net income per diluted share for 2019 is expected to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.52. Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin for 2019 is expected to be in the range of 31.5 percent to 32.0 percent and net income per diluted share for 2019 is expected to be in the range of $2.18 to $2.20.

In October 2019, Cadence initiated a series of transactions involving a realignment of its international operating structure. Cadence expects that this realignment may significantly increase its foreign deferred tax assets. This outlook does not include the income tax impact to GAAP net income related to these transactions. Cadence expects to complete its analysis and record the income tax impact in the fourth quarter of 2019.

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

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, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including retention expenses, 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 management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of Cadence’s core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence 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 management, including forecasting and budgeting.

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