Cadence Reports Q4 2008 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Feb 04, 2009 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008.

Cadence reported fourth quarter 2008 revenue of $227 million, compared to revenue of $458 million reported for the same period in 2007. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized a net loss of $1.64 billion, or $(6.57) per share on a diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $120 million, or $0.41 per share on a diluted basis in the same period in 2007. Revenue for fiscal year 2008 totaled $1.04 billion, compared to revenue of $1.62 billion in fiscal year 2007. The net loss for fiscal year 2008 was $1.85 billion, or $(7.29) per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $296 million, or $1.01 per share on a diluted basis for fiscal year 2007. The GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008 includes a non-cash impairment charge of $1.36 billion, related to Cadence's goodwill, intangible assets, and fixed assets. The impairment charge, which was driven by adverse economic conditions and a decline in the company's market capitalization, has no effect on the company's cash flows.

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 or net loss, which excludes, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, in-process research and development charges, certain termination and legal costs, costs related to Cadence's withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares, integration and acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance costs, restructuring charges and credits, losses on extinguishment of debt, equity in losses (income) from investments, write-down of investments, impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets, and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary. Non-GAAP net income or net 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. See "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" below for further information on the non-GAAP measure.

Using this non-GAAP measure, net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $11 million, or $(0.04) per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $133 million, or $0.46 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period in 2007. For fiscal year 2008, non-GAAP net loss was $10 million, or $(0.04) per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $397 million and $1.35 per share on a diluted basis in fiscal year 2007.

"While Cadence faced many challenges in 2008, we continue to develop and deliver quality products for our customers. During 2008, we refreshed each of our major product platforms," said Lip-Bu Tan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also made a number of important decisions in 2008 to position Cadence to build long-term shareholder value. Among the most important were the transition to a 90/10 ratable model and a significant restructuring."

"We made very good progress in Q4 toward our goal of a stable 90/10 ratable model with over 85 percent of orders booked under ratable licenses," added Kevin S. Palatnik, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "And, the restructuring we announced in November is on track."

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2009, the company expects total revenue in the range of $200 million to $210 million. First quarter GAAP net loss per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $(0.33) to $(0.31). Net loss per diluted share using the non-GAAP measure defined below is expected to be in the range of $(0.13) to $(0.11).

For the full year 2009, the company expects total revenue in the range of $830 million to $870 million. On a GAAP basis, net loss per diluted share for fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $(0.99) to $(0.87). Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net loss per diluted share for fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $(0.36) to $(0.24).

A schedule showing a reconciliation of the business outlook from GAAP net loss and diluted net loss per share to the non-GAAP net loss and diluted net loss 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 or net loss, which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is GAAP net income or net loss excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, in-process research and development charges, certain termination and legal costs, costs related to Cadence's withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares, integration and acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance costs, restructuring charges and credits, losses on extinguishment of debt, equity in losses (income) from investments, write-down of investments, impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets, and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased or licensed technology, backlog, patents, trademarks, distribution rights, customer contracts and related relationships and non-compete agreements. Non-GAAP net income or net 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.

Cadence's management believes it is useful in measuring Cadence's operations to exclude amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges and integration and acquisition-related costs because these costs are primarily fixed at the time of an acquisition and generally cannot be changed by Cadence's management in the short term. In addition, Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense 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. Cadence's management also believes that it is useful to exclude restructuring charges and credits. During the fourth quarter of 2008, Cadence commenced a restructuring program that it expects to complete in the second half of fiscal 2009. Cadence's management believes that in measuring the company's operations, it is useful to exclude any such restructuring charges and credits because Cadence does not undertake significant restructuring on a regular basis, and exclusion of such charges permits consistent evaluations of Cadence's performance before and after such actions are taken. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude executive severance costs and certain termination and legal costs as these costs do not occur frequently. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude gains or losses and expenses or credits related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets as these gains and expenses are not part of Cadence's direct costs of operations, but reflect changes in the value of assets held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude the equity in losses (income) from investments and write-down of investments, as these items are not part of Cadence'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. Finally, Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary because these do not occur on a regular basis and are not part of the company's direct costs of operations.

In the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008, Cadence's non-GAAP net loss also excludes the impact of tax expense associated with recording a valuation allowance against Cadence's deferred tax assets. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the tax expense associated with this valuation allowance as Cadence does not expect changes in the valuation allowance of the magnitude recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 to be recorded frequently.

In fiscal year 2008, Cadence's non-GAAP net loss also excludes the impact of tax expense associated with Cadence's repatriation of foreign earnings. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the tax expense associated with the repatriation of foreign earnings as it resulted from an event which is not expected to occur frequently.

In fiscal year 2008, Cadence's non-GAAP net loss also excludes costs related to Cadence's withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares Cadence acquired as part of the proposed acquisition. Cadence's management believes that in measuring Cadence's operations it is useful to exclude the costs and the losses associated with this proposed acquisition as these items are not directly related to Cadence's operating performance and resulted from events which are not expected to occur frequently.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, Cadence's non-GAAP measure also excluded the income tax benefit of settling a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service related to Cadence's tax years 1997-1999. This benefit had no impact on Cadence's non-GAAP measure of net income for 2007. Management believes it is useful to exclude the income tax benefit associated with this settlement from Cadence's non-GAAP measure of net income as this tax benefit resulted from an event which is not expected to occur frequently.

Cadence's management believes that non-GAAP net income or net loss provides useful supplemental information to Cadence's management and investors regarding the performance of the company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to the company's historical operating results. Cadence's management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. 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 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 or net loss and GAAP net income or net loss per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP net income or net loss and Non-GAAP net income or net loss per diluted share for the periods shown below:

Shares used in calculation of diluted net
 income (loss) per share --non-GAAP (A)              254,323       295,591

 (A) Shares used in the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) per share are
 expected to be the same as shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP net
 income (loss) per share, except when the company reports a GAAP net loss
 and non-GAAP net income, or GAAP net income and a non-GAAP net loss.

Investors are encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance. For example, amortization of intangibles or in-process technology are important to consider because they may represent initial expenditures that under GAAP are reported across future fiscal periods. Likewise, stock-based compensation expense is an obligation 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. Losses on extinguishment of debt can be incurred on remaining convertible notes. All of these metrics are important to financial performance generally.

Although Cadence's management finds the non-GAAP measure useful in evaluating the performance of Cadence's business, 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's management typically uses the non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, in conjunction with the GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, to address these limitations.

Cadence's management believes that presenting the 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 Cadence's management uses in its own evaluation of performance, and an additional baseline for assessing the future earnings potential of the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, Cadence's management prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental measure since it may provide additional insights into the company's 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 business 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 March 20, 2009, 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 any update by the company. 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 the day when Cadence's First Quarter 2009 Earnings Release is published, which is currently scheduled for April 29, 2009.
