MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today reported results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2015.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, Synopsys reported revenue of $557.2 million, compared to $517.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase of approximately 7.6 percent.
"Our fiscal second quarter results were very strong, and solidify our outlook for the full year," said Aart de Geus, chairman and co-CEO of Synopsys. "We see clear momentum with our new implementation and verification products in the early stages of a multi-year customer upgrade cycle. Our entry into the software quality and security space has opened up an opportunity to drive incremental growth in both familiar and new market segments and build on Synopsys' strengths."
GAAP Results
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $55.6 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to $63.3 million, or $0.40 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $107.6 million, or $0.68 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $101.7 million, or $0.65 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.
Financial Targets
Synopsys also provided its financial targets for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2015. These targets do not include any impact of future acquisition-related activities or costs that may be incurred in fiscal year 2015. 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.
Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2015 Targets:
-- Revenue: $550 million - $560 million -- GAAP expenses: $481 million - $501 million -- Non-GAAP expenses: $430 million - $440 million -- Other income and expense: $0 - $2 million -- Tax rate applied in non-GAAP net income calculations: 21 - 22 percent -- Fully diluted outstanding shares: 155 million - 159 million -- GAAP earnings per share: $0.23 - $0.30 -- Non-GAAP earnings per share: $0.58 - $0.60

GAAP Reconciliation
Synopsys continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Synopsys presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Synopsys' operating results in a manner that focuses on what Synopsys believes to be its ongoing business operations and what Synopsys uses to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Synopsys' management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Synopsys' management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes: (i) the amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of stock compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, (iv) other significant items, including restructuring charges and certain accruals for legal and tax matters, and (v) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments as well as unusual or infrequent tax adjustments; and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of Synopsys' business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever Synopsys uses a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed below.

-- continued uncertainty in the global economy and its potential impact on the semiconductor and electronics industries; -- uncertainty in the growth of the semiconductor and electronics industry, and consolidation among our customers; -- increased competition in the market for Synopsys' products and services including through consolidation in the industry; -- changes in demand for Synopsys' products due to fluctuations in demand for its customers' products; -- Synopsys' ability to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of acquisitions it completes, including its acquisition of Coverity, Inc., and challenges in entering new markets in which Synopsys is not experienced and in the integration of the products and operations of acquired companies or assets into Synopsys' products and operations, including possible delays in customer orders, potential loss of customers, key employees, partners or vendors, customer demand and support obligations for product offerings, and disruption of ongoing business operations and diversion of management attention; -- Synopsys' ability to consummate the pending acquisition of Codenomicon OY in a timely manner or at all, including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to consummation of the acquisition; -- adverse changes in the relationships between Synopsys and key participants in the complex semiconductor ecosystem, including major foundries and intellectual property providers; -- litigation; -- lower-than-anticipated new IC design starts; -- lower-than-anticipated purchases or delays in purchases of products or consulting services by Synopsys' customers, including delays in the renewal, or non-renewal, of Synopsys' license arrangements with major customers; -- changes in accounting principles or standards or in the way they are applied; -- changes in the mix of time-based licenses and upfront licenses; -- variability in the timing of revenue recognition due to factors such as payment terms and the timing and value of contract renewals and professional services projects; -- lower-than-expected orders; and -- failure of customers to pay license fees as scheduled.
In addition, Synopsys' actual expenses, earnings per share and tax rate on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2015; actual expenses, earnings per share, tax rate, and other projections on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for fiscal year 2015; and cash flow from operations on a GAAP basis for fiscal year 2015 could differ materially from the targets stated under "Financial Targets" above for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, (i) integration and other acquisition-related costs, (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 and settlements, to increase or decrease an income tax asset or liability, (iii) a determination by Synopsys that any portion of its goodwill or intangible assets has become impaired, (iv) changes in the anticipated amount of employee stock-based compensation expense recognized in 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 guidance, (viii) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, (ix) litigation, (x) general economic conditions, and (xi) other risks as detailed in Synopsys' SEC filings, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2015. Furthermore, Synopsys' actual tax rates applied to income for the third quarter and fiscal year 2015 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 and year, and actions by the government. Finally, Synopsys' targets for outstanding shares in the third quarter and fiscal year 2015 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.
