Effectiveness of Information

The targets included in this release, the statements made during the earnings conference call and the information contained in the financial supplement represent Synopsys' expectations and beliefs as of the date of this release only.

Synopsys does not currently intend to report on its progress during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 or comment to analysts or investors on, or otherwise update, the targets given in this earnings release.

Availability of Final Financial Statements

Synopsys will include final financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be filed by June 12, 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements made in this press release regarding projected financial results in the sections entitled "Financial Targets," and "Reconciliation of Target Operating Results" and certain statements made in the earnings conference call are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those described by these statements due to a number of uncertainties, including, but not limited to:

    -- weakness or continued budgetary caution in the semiconductor or
       electronics industries;
    -- lower-than-expected research and development spending by semiconductor
       and electronic systems companies;
    -- competition in the market for Synopsys' products and services;
    -- lower-than-anticipated new IC design starts;
    -- lower-than-anticipated purchases or delays in purchases of software or
       consulting services by Synopsys' customers, including delays in the
       renewal, or non-renewal, of Synopsys' license arrangements with major
       customers;
    -- failure of customers to pay license fees as scheduled;
    -- changes in the mix of time-based licenses and upfront licenses;
    -- lower-than-expected bookings;
    -- failure of Synopsys' cost control efforts, including recent efforts to
       outsource certain internal functions, to result in the anticipated
       savings;
    -- failure to successfully develop additional intellectual property blocks
       for its IP business; and
    -- difficulties in the integration of the products and operations of
       acquired companies or assets into Synopsys' products and operations.

In addition, Synopsys' actual expenses and earnings per share on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2008 and actual expenses, earnings per share and operating cash flow on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for fiscal year 2008 could differ materially from the targets stated under "Financial Targets" above for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, (i) a determination by Synopsys that any portion of its goodwill or intangible assets have become impaired, (ii) application of the actual consolidated GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates for such periods, or judgment by management, based upon the status of pending audits or new accounting interpretations such as FASB Interpretation No. 48, to increase or decrease an income tax asset or liability, (iii) integration and other acquisition-related expenses including amortization of additional intangible assets associated with future acquisitions, if any, (iv) changes in the anticipated amount of employee share-based compensation expense recognized on Synopsys' financial statements, (v) actual change in the fair value of Synopsys' non-qualified deferred compensation plan obligations, (vi) increases or decreases to estimated capital expenditures, (vii) changes driven by new accounting rules, regulations, interpretations or pronouncements, (viii) general economic conditions, and (ix), other risks as detailed in our SEC filings, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008. Furthermore, Synopsys' actual tax rates applied to income for the third quarter and fiscal year 2008 could differ from the targets given in this press release as a result of a number of factors, including the actual geographic mix of revenue during the quarter. Finally, Synopsys' targets for outstanding shares in the third quarter and fiscal year 2008 could differ from the targets given in this press release as a result of higher than expected employee stock plan issuances or stock option exercises, acquisitions and the extent of Synopsys' stock repurchase activity.

Synopsys is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter any of the forward-looking statements made in this earnings release, the conference call or the financial supplement whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless otherwise required by law.
