Cadence Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif. — July 25, 2022 — Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced results for the second quarter of 2022.

Cadence reported second quarter 2022 revenue of $858 million, compared to revenue of $728 million for the same period in 2021.On a GAAP basis, Cadence achieved operating margin of 33 percent and recognized net income of $187 million, or $0.68 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to operating margin of 25 percent and net income of $156 million, or $0.56 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2021.

Using the non-GAAP measures defined below, operating margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 42 percent and net income was $298 million, or $1.08 per share on a diluted basis, compared to operating margin of 39 percent and net income of $238 million, or $0.86 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2021.

“This quarter’s outstanding results are a testament to Cadence’s relentless focus on innovation and continued strong execution by the Cadence team,” said Anirudh Devgan, president and chief executive officer. “Our strong performance is emblematic of the megatrends of the long-term strength of semis, systems companies investing more in silicon, and the convergence of system and chip designs. We are delighted with the pivotal role our technology portfolio plays in our customers’ successes and are especially excited by the pending acquisition of OpenEye Scientific, which will accelerate our Intelligent System Design strategy and extend our computational software competency to the life sciences market.”

“We delivered another quarter of strong financial results with double-digit growth across all product categories,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “I am pleased that we exceeded all key operating metrics for the quarter, allowing us to raise our full year outlook.”

CFO Commentary

Commentary on the second quarter 2022 financial results by John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer, is available at www.cadence.com/cadence/investor_relations.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2022, the company expects total revenue in the range of $860 million to $880 million. Third quarter GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of 26 percent to 27 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.58 to $0.62. Using the non-GAAP measures defined below, operating margin is expected to be in the range of 37 percent to 38 percent and net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.94 to $0.98.

For fiscal year 2022, the company expects total revenue in the range of $3.470 billion to $3.510 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating margin for 2022 is expected to be in the range of 29.25 percent to 30.25 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share for 2022 is expected to be in the range of $2.59 to $2.65. Using the non-GAAP measures defined below, operating margin for 2022 is expected to be in the range of 39.25 percent to 40.25 percent and net income per diluted share for 2022 is expected to be in the range of $4.06 to $4.12.

The company utilizes a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate, which reflects currently available information, as well as other factors and assumptions. The non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in the company’s geographic earnings mix, or other changes to the company’s strategy or business operations. The company expects to use this normalized non-GAAP tax rate through fiscal 2025 but will re-evaluate this rate periodically for significant items that may materially affect its projections.

A schedule showing reconciliations of the business outlook from GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income and GAAP diluted net income per share to non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, respectively, 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:

At these meetings, Cadence may reiterate the business outlook published in this press release.

Beginning September 16, 2022, 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 Cadence’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 Cadence. 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 Cadence’s third quarter 2022 earnings release is published, which is currently scheduled for October 24, 2022.

Forward Looking Statements

The statements in this CFO Commentary contain forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and preliminary assumptions that are subject to factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside Cadence’s control, including, among others: (i) Cadence’s ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive industries in which it operates; (ii) the success of Cadence’s efforts to maintain and improve operational efficiency and growth; (iii) the mix of products and services sold, the timing of orders and deliveries and the ability to develop, install or deliver Cadence’s products or services; (iv) change in customer demands or supply constraints that could result in delays in purchases, development, installations or deliveries of Cadence's products or services, including those resulting from consolidation, restructurings and other operational efficiency improvements of Cadence’s customers; (v) economic and industry conditions, including that of the semiconductor and electronics industries, government regulations and trade restrictions; (vi) capital expenditure requirements, legislative or regulatory requirements, changes in tax laws, interest rates, currency exchange rate fluctuations, inflation rates and Cadence’s ability to access capital and debt markets; (vii) the acquisition of OpenEye Scientific or other companies, businesses or technologies or the failure to successfully integrate and operate OpenEye Scientific, Future Facilities or other acquired companies, businesses or technologies; (viii) events that affect cash flow, liquidity, or reserves, or settlement assumptions Cadence may take from time to time with respect to accounts receivable, taxes and tax examinations, litigation, regulatory or other matters; (ix) the effects of any litigation, regulatory or other proceedings to which Cadence is or may become a party; and (x) the duration, severity, volatility and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures on Cadence, its employees, and its suppliers and customers, which may also have the effect of heightening the other risks described in this paragraph. In addition, the timing and amount of Cadence’s repurchases of its common stock are subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, stock price, acquisition opportunities and other factors.

For a detailed discussion of these and other cautionary statements related to Cadence’s business, please refer to Cadence’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which include Cadence’s most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, including Cadence’s future filings.

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 GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this CFO Commentary 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. See our earnings press release issued today for further discussion of our non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation provided in the Appendix to this CFO Commentary.

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.
