Synopsys Posts Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2017

Q3 2017 Financial Highlights

 

  Revenue: $695.4 million

 

  GAAP earnings per share: $0.75

 

  Non-GAAP earnings per share: $0.92

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. Aug. 16, 2017 – Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today reported results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Synopsys reported revenue of $695.4 million, compared to $615.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, an increase of 13.0 percent.

“In our fiscal third quarter, we again delivered excellent results and are raising annual revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share targets,” said Aart de Geus, chairman and co-CEO of Synopsys. “Our strategy and investments are paying off. Demand for EDA and IP products is robust and growing, as semiconductor and systems companies tackle immense complexity in both chips and ever-increasing software content. We are making very good progress in the fast-growing software security and quality market, helping software developers from a wide range of industries navigate daunting security challenges. In addition, we continue to return capital to shareholders, repurchasing $100 million of our stock in the quarter, and $300 million so far this year.”

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, and (vi) 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 took into account 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. We re-evaluate this rate on an annual basis for any significant events that may materially affect our projections, such as significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or significant tax law changes in major jurisdictions where we operate. 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
