In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating Cadence's business, management believes it is useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income, which excludes, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, deferred compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, gains and expenses related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, restructuring charges and equity in losses (income) from investments. Non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability. See "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" below for further information on the non-GAAP measure.
Using this non-GAAP measure, net income in the first quarter 2006 was $66 million, or $0.21 per share, on a diluted basis as compared to $45 million, or $0.15 per share, on a diluted basis in the same period in 2005.
"Consumer electronics, wireless and networking are driving the market. All of these require our customers to rapidly develop analog mixed-signal and system validation expertise," said Mike Fister, president and CEO of Cadence Design Systems, Inc. "The performance of our custom IC and verification businesses this quarter clearly demonstrates our market leadership."
Bill Porter, executive vice president and chief financial officer added, "We had a good quarter across all geographies, especially in Japan, and we continued to make progress on our objectives to demonstrate growth, execute consistently and achieve our operating targets."
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the impact of any mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations completed after April 1, 2006.
Business Outlook
For the second quarter of 2006, the company expects total revenue in the range of $340 million to $350 million. Second quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.09 to $0.11. Diluted earnings per share using the non-GAAP measure defined below are expected to be in the range of $0.21 to $0.23.
For the full year 2006, the company expects total revenue in the range of $1.41 billion to $1.46 billion. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share for fiscal 2006 is expected in the range of $0.47 to $0.55. Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2006 are expected to be in the range of $0.97 to $1.05.
A schedule showing a reconciliation of the business outlook from GAAP net income and diluted net income per share to the non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share is included with this release.

GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation
Cadence management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various operating measures. These measures are generally based on the revenues of its product, maintenance and services business operations and certain costs of those operations, such as cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. One such measure is non-GAAP net income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This measure consists of GAAP net income (loss) excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, deferred compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges (severance and benefits, excess facilities and asset-related restructuring charges), gains and expenses related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets and equity in losses (income) from investments. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology, backlog, patents, trademarks, distribution rights, customer contracts and related relationships and non-compete agreements. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability.
Management believes it is useful in measuring Cadence's operations to exclude amortization of intangibles, deferred compensation, in-process research and development and acquisition-related expenses because these costs are primarily fixed at the time of an acquisition and generally cannot be changed by management in the short term. In addition, management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation because it enhances investors' ability to review Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence's management, which believes that stock-based compensation expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company's business operations. Management also believes that it is useful to exclude restructuring costs. Cadence has dramatically reduced the size of its design services business and portions of its product and maintenance businesses over the past several years. As a result, in 2001, 2002 and 2003, Cadence's GAAP statements of operations have included significant charges relating to such restructurings. Management believes that in measuring its operations it is useful to exclude such restructuring costs because the company's level of restructuring activities is expected to significantly decrease in the foreseeable future. Finally, management also believes it is useful to exclude the equity in losses (income) from investments and investment write-downs, as these items are not part of the company's direct cost of operations. Rather, these are non-operating items that are included in other income (expense) and are part of the company's investment activities.
Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential 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.
The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP net income in the calculation of non-GAAP net income for the periods shown below:

For example, amortization of intangibles, deferred compensation or in-process technology are important to consider because they may represent initial expenditures that under GAAP are reported across future fiscal periods. Likewise, deferred compensation and stock-based compensation expenses are obligations of the company that should be considered. Restructuring charges can be triggered by acquisitions or product adjustments as well as overall company performance within a given business environment. All of these metrics are important to financial performance generally.
Though Cadence management finds its non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating the performance of Cadence's business, its reliance on this measure is limited because items excluded from such measures often have a material effect on Cadence's earnings and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, Cadence management typically uses its non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, in conjunction with GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, to address these limitations.
Cadence believes that presenting its non-GAAP measure of earnings and earnings per share provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the performance of the company's business, which management uses in its own evaluation of performance, and an additional base line for assessing the future earnings potential of the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the company prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental measure since, with reconciliation to GAAP, it may provide additional insight into our financial results.
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 outlook, publicly available on its Web site.
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 June 16, 2006, Cadence will observe a "Quiet Period" during which the Business Outlook as provided in this press release and the company's 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 to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to update by the company. During the Quiet Period, Cadence representatives will not comment on Cadence's business outlook or its financial results or expectations. The Quiet Period will extend until the day when Cadence's Second Quarter 2006 Earnings Release is published, which is currently scheduled for July 26, 2006.
