Mentor Graphics Corporation announced financial results for the company’s fiscal third quarter ended October 31, 2013. The company reported revenues of $275.6 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.32, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.20. “Third-quarter results substantially exceeded our guidance and reflect the continuing strength in our business,” said Walden C.
