Cadence reported second quarter 2015 revenue of $416 million, compared to revenue of $379 million reported for the same period in 2014. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized net income of $58 million, or $0.19 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $23 million, or $0.08 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2014.

Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net income in the second quarter of 2015 was $85 million, or $0.27 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $64 million, or $0.21 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2014.

"The second quarter was highlighted by the introduction of more innovative new products, key wins with market shaping customers and strong financial performance," said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. "We launched the Genus(TM) Synthesis Solution, our next-generation RTL physical synthesis engine, and the Indago(TM) Debug Platform, which uses big data techniques to speed the verification process. Cadence has now introduced more than a dozen innovative new products in the past two years."

Mr. Tan continued, "We are pleased to announce a new $1.2 billion stock repurchase program, which reflects our ongoing thoughtful review of all aspects of our business and capital structure. We are committed to enhancing shareholder value through a balanced approach that drives growth, invests in innovation and returns capital to our shareholders."

"Cadence had a strong Q2," added Geoff Ribar, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "With the announcement of our new stock repurchase program, we continue to allocate capital to the highest return opportunities by investing in profitable growth, maintaining an efficient capital structure that provides necessary flexibility to meet the needs of the business and returning capital to shareholders."

Cadence's new $1.2 billion stock repurchase program replaces its existing $450 million program. Cadence expects to repurchase $1.2 billion of its common stock over the next six quarters through the end of fiscal 2016. The actual timing and amount of repurchases will be subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, acquisition opportunities and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and will be funded by U.S. cash on hand, future U.S. cash flow and additional debt.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2015, the company expects total revenue in the range of $423 million to $433 million. Third quarter GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.17 to $0.19. Net income per diluted share using the non-GAAP measure defined below is expected to be in the range of $0.25 to $0.27.

For 2015, the company expects total revenue in the range of $1.685 billion to $1.715 billion. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share for 2015 is expected to be in the range of $0.63 to $0.69.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

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 are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results. Investors are also encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance.

To supplement Cadence's financial results presented on a generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, basis, Cadence management uses non-GAAP measures that it believes are helpful in understanding Cadence's performance. One such measure is non-GAAP net income, which is a financial measure not calculated under GAAP. Non-GAAP net income is calculated by Cadence management by taking GAAP net income and excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets and debt discount related to convertible notes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including changes in fair value of contingent consideration and retention expenses for employees added from our 2013 and 2014 acquisitions, special charges (comprised of costs related to a voluntary retirement program), investment gains or losses, income or expenses related to Cadence's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, restructuring and other significant items not directly related to Cadence's core business operations, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments. For 2015, Cadence is applying a non-GAAP income tax rate of 23 percent, down from 26 percent used in fiscal 2014, based on forecasted increases in foreign earnings that are expected to lower Cadence's long-term non-GAAP effective income tax rate.

Cadence's management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of the company's core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence's management and investors regarding the performance of the business operations, facilitates comparisons to the historical operating results and allows the review of Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence's management, including forecasting and budgeting.

The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the periods shown below:
