Cadence Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif. — October 24, 2022 — Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced results for the third quarter of 2022.

Cadence reported third quarter 2022 revenue of $903 million, compared to revenue of $751 million for the same period in 2021. On a GAAP basis, Cadence achieved operating margin of 29 percent and recognized net income of $186 million, or $0.68 per share on a diluted basis, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to operating margin of 26 percent and net income of $176 million, or $0.63 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2021.

Using the non-GAAP measures defined below, operating margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 39 percent and net income was $290 million, or $1.06 per share on a diluted basis, compared to operating margin of 36 percent and net income of $222 million, or $0.80 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2021.

“I’m pleased with our excellent results for Q3 driven by our technology leadership, strong execution, diversified customer base and resilient business model,” said Anirudh Devgan, president and chief executive officer. “Generational industry trends are driving continued investment by semiconductor and system companies, and our broad, differentiated portfolio positions us extremely well to help our customers accelerate their next generation innovation.”

“We delivered another quarter of strong financial results,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “I am pleased that we exceeded all key operating metrics for the quarter, allowing us to raise our full year outlook.”

CFO Commentary

Commentary on the third quarter 2022 financial results by John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer, is available at www.cadence.com/cadence/investor_relations.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2022, the company expects total revenue in the range of $870 million to $890 million. Fourth quarter GAAP operating margin is expected to be approximately 24 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.54. Using the non-GAAP measures defined below, operating margin is expected to be approximately 35 percent and net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.89 to $0.93.

For fiscal year 2022, the company expects total revenue in the range of $3.532 billion to $3.552 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating margin for 2022 is expected to be in the range of 29.7 percent to 30.7 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share for 2022 is expected to be in the range of $2.71 to $2.75. Using the non-GAAP measures defined below, operating margin for 2022 is expected to be in the range of 39.7 percent to 40.7 percent and net income per diluted share for 2022 is expected to be in the range of $4.20 to $4.24.

The company utilizes a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate, which reflects currently available information, as well as other factors and assumptions. The non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in the company’s geographic earnings mix, or other changes to the company’s strategy or business operations. The company expects to use this normalized non-GAAP tax rate through fiscal 2025 but will re-evaluate this rate periodically for significant items that may materially affect its projections.

A schedule showing reconciliations of the business outlook from GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income and GAAP diluted net income per share to non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, respectively, is included in this release.

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 generally accepted accounting principles, or 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 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, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including retention expenses, 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.

Cadence management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of Cadence’s core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence 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 management, including forecasting and budgeting.

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

In addition, the timing and amount of Cadence’s repurchases of its common stock are subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, stock price, acquisition opportunities and other factors.

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 CFO Commentary 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. See our earnings press release issued today for further discussion of our non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation provided in the Appendix to this CFO Commentary.

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.
