Synopsys Posts Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2025

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 26, 2025 — (PRNewswire) —   Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today reported results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $1.455 billion, compared to $1.511 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

"In Q1, Synopsys' relentless focus on execution and innovation was evident across the business. We launched industry-leading silicon IP and hardware-assisted verification solutions while expanding generative AI capabilities in EDA," said Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys. "We are continuing to see strong design activity at advanced nodes, fueled by the AI-driven reinvention of compute. As the pace and complexity of technology innovation increases, new silicon-to-systems design paradigms are essential, and Synopsys is well-positioned to deliver."

"We delivered a solid start to the year, with non-GAAP earnings above guidance, and revenue in the upper end of our guided range," said Shelagh Glaser, CFO of Synopsys. "These results are a product of our resilient business model, strong operational execution, and leading technology that is mission-critical to customers. We are reaffirming our full-year guidance including expectations for double-digit revenue growth."

Continuing Operations 
On September 30, 2024, Synopsys completed the sale of its Software Integrity business. Unless otherwise noted, Synopsys' Software Integrity business has been presented as a discontinued operation in the Synopsys' consolidated financial statements for all periods presented herein and all financial results and targets are presented herein on a continuing operations basis.

GAAP Results
On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $295.7 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, compared to $437.5 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $473.2 million, or $3.03 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $525.5 million, or $3.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

For a reconciliation of net income, earnings per diluted share and other measures on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, see "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" in the accompanying tables below.

Business Segments 
Synopsys reports revenue and operating income in two segments: (1) Design Automation, which includes our advanced silicon design, verification products and services, system integration products and services, digital, custom and field programmable gate array IC design software, verification software and hardware products, manufacturing software products and other and (2) Design IP, which includes our interface, foundation, security, and embedded processor IP, IP subsystems, and IP implementation services.

Financial Targets 
Synopsys also provided its consolidated financial targets for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2025. These targets reflect a change in Synopsys' fiscal year from a 52/53-week period ending on the Saturday nearest to October 31 of each year to October 31 of each year. As a result of this change, there will be ten fewer days in the first half of fiscal year 2025 and two extra days in the second half of fiscal year 2025, which results in eight fewer days in the aggregate in Synopsys' fiscal year 2025 as compared to its fiscal year 2024. These targets also assume no further changes to export control restrictions or the current U.S. government "Entity List" restrictions. These targets constitute forward-looking statements and are based on current expectations. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these targets, see "Forward-Looking Statements" below.
