Synopsys Posts Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2010
Synopsys, Inc. reported results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Synopsys reported revenue of $330.2 million compared to $339.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
"Synopsys started the year with solid momentum," said Aart de Geus, chairman and CEO of Synopsys. "We met or exceeded our financial targets, and made a number of strategic moves that we believe will increase our total available market substantially in the long term."
GAAP Results
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $132.8 million, or $0.88 per share, compared to $52.4 million, or $0.37 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 includes a one-time $91.6 million, or $0.61 per share, tax benefit associated with the IRS settlement for fiscal years 2002-2004, announced on January 12, 2010.
Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $62.4 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $71.6 million, or $0.50 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

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) stock compensation; (ii) the amortization of acquired intangible assets and in-process research and development charges, (iii) acquisition-related costs; (iv) other significant items, including the effect of a tax benefit from a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service, and (v) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes; 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 such 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.
