Mentor Graphics Reports Annual and Fiscal Fourth Quarter Results

WILSONVILLE, OR -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Mar 04, 2010 -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ending January 31, 2010. For the full year, the company reported revenues of $802.7 million, up 2% from fiscal 2009, non-GAAP earnings per share more than doubling to $.47, and a GAAP loss per share of $.23, down from a loss per share of $.99 the prior year. For the fiscal fourth quarter, the company reported revenues of $237.1 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of $.30, and GAAP earnings per share of $.39.

"The electronics industry recovery seems to be well underway, and we are increasingly optimistic about the business environment in the coming year," said Walden C. Rhines, CEO and chairman of Mentor Graphics. "The company's focus on its product segments with number one market share, as well as investments in new product categories, continue to show strong results, as the average dollar value of renewals in the top ten contracts in the fiscal fourth quarter grew 25% over the prior contract values."

During the quarter, the company extended its Catapult® C Synthesis product to support the SystemC design language, allowing designers a richer set of choices in doing system level design. The company also launched its Tessent™ YieldInsight™ product, which allows customers to use integrated circuit production fault data to understand where those faults are physically located on the chip, thus allowing them to be corrected.

"Our strong emphasis on cost controls throughout fiscal 2010 has positioned us well," said Gregory K. Hinckley, president of Mentor Graphics. "An improving currency environment, good performance in our new and emerging product segment and recovery in our base business all point to a better year in fiscal 2011."

Outlook

For the fiscal first quarter ending April 30, 2010, the company expects revenues of approximately $180 million and break-even to a loss per share of $.05, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.

For the full year fiscal 2011, ending January 31, 2011, the company expects revenues to grow around 5%.

Fiscal Year Definition

Mentor Graphics fiscal year runs from February 1 to January 31. The fiscal year is dated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends. As a result, the first three fiscal quarters of any fiscal year will be dated with the next calendar year, rather than the current calendar year.

Adoption of Accounting Guidance for Convertible Debt

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Mentor Graphics adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board's (FASB) new accounting guidance for accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. This new guidance requires retroactive application to all prior periods reported. Accordingly, we have adjusted the applicable prior period balance sheets, statements of operations (including net income (loss) per share), and statements of cash flows to reflect the adjusted balance of the convertible notes and related items, and to record the amortization of the discount on the convertible notes as a non-cash interest expense. A reconciliation of our adjusted Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2009, our adjusted Consolidated Statements of Operations, and our adjusted Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2009 prior to the adoption of the new accounting guidance is included with this release. Interest expense associated with the adoption of the guidance was $632 thousand for the three months ended January 31, 2009 and $2,450 thousand for the twelve months ended January 31, 2009. There was no impact to cash flows from operations.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Mentor Graphics management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to our GAAP results, we also consider adjusted gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share which we refer to as non-GAAP gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, respectively. These non-GAAP measures are derived from the revenues of our product, maintenance, and services business operations and the costs directly related to the generation of those revenues, such as cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, that management considers in evaluating our ongoing core operating performance. These non-GAAP measures exclude amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development, special charges, equity plan-related compensation expenses and charges, interest expense attributable to net retirement premiums or discounts on the early retirement of debt and associated debt issuance costs, interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discount on convertible debt, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of cost method investments, and the equity in income or losses of unconsolidated entities, which management does not consider reflective of our core operating business.

Identified intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology, backlog, trade names, customer relationships, and employment agreements. In-process research and development charges generally represent products in development that had not reached technological feasibility at the time of acquisition. Special charges primarily consist of costs incurred for employee terminations due to a reduction of personnel resources driven by modifications of business strategy or business emphasis. Special charges may also include expenses incurred related to potential acquisitions, excess facility costs, asset-related charges, post-acquisition rebalance costs and restructuring costs, including severance and benefits. Equity plan-related compensation expenses represent the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options. For purposes of comparability across other periods and against other companies in our industry, non-GAAP net income (loss) is adjusted by the amount of additional tax expense or benefit that we would accrue using a normalized effective tax rate applied to the non-GAAP results.

Management excludes from our non-GAAP measures certain recurring items to facilitate its review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not related to our ongoing core operating performance as viewed by management. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period. Management uses this view of our operating performance for purposes of comparison with our business plan and individual operating budgets and allocation of resources. Additionally, when evaluating potential acquisitions, management excludes the items described above from its consideration of target performance and valuation. More specifically, management adjusts for the excluded items for the following reasons:

--  Amortization charges for our intangible assets are inconsistent in
    amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and
    magnitude of our acquisition transactions. We therefore consider our
    operating results without these charges when evaluating our core
    performance. Generally, the most significant impact to inter-period
    comparability of our net income (loss) is in the first twelve months
    following an acquisition.

--  Prior to adopting the FASB's authoritative guidance on business
    combinations in February 2009, in-process research and development was
    expensed upon acquisition. These charges are largely disregarded as
    acquisition decisions are made since they often result in charges that
    vary significantly in size and amount. Management excludes these
    charges when evaluating the impact of an acquisition transaction and
    our ongoing performance.

--  Special charges are incurred based on the particular facts and
    circumstances of acquisition and restructuring decisions and can vary
    in size and frequency. These charges are not ordinarily included in our
    annual operating plan and related budget due the unpredictability of
    economic trends and the rapidly changing technology and competitive
    environment in our industry. We therefore exclude them when evaluating
    our managers' performance internally.

--  We view equity plan-related compensation as a key element of our
    employee retention and long-term incentives, not as an expense that we
    use in evaluating core operations in any given period. Management also
    believes this information is useful to investors to compare our
    performance to the performance of other companies in our industry who
    present non-GAAP results adjusted to exclude stock compensation
    expense.

--  Interest expense attributable to net retirement premiums or discounts
    on the early retirement of debt, the write-off of associated debt
    issuance costs and the amortization of the debt discount on convertible
    debt are excluded. Management does not consider these charges as a part
    of our core operating performance. The early retirement of debt and the
    associated debt issuance costs is not included in our annual operating
    plan and related budget due to unpredictability of market conditions
    which could facilitate an early retirement of debt. We do not consider
    the amortization of the debt discount on convertible debt to be a
    direct cost of operations. We also believe this presentation is more
    useful to investors in comparing our performance to the performance of
    other companies in our industry who present non-GAAP results adjusted
    to exclude such items.

--  Impairment of cost method investments can occur when the fair value of
    the investment is less than its cost. This can occur when there is a
    significant deterioration in the investee's earnings performance,
    significant adverse changes in the general market conditions of the
    industry in which the investee operates, or indications that the
    investee may no longer be able to conduct business. These charges are
    inconsistent in amount and frequency. We therefore consider our
    operating results without these charges when evaluating our core
    performance.

--  Equity in income or losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries represents
    the net income (losses) in an investment accounted for under the
    equity method. The amounts represent our equity in the net income
    (losses) of a common stock investment. The carrying amount of our
    investment is adjusted for our share of earnings or losses of the
    investee. The amounts are excluded as we do not control the results of
    operations for these investments and management does not consider this
    activity a part of our core operating performance.

--  Income tax expense (benefit) is adjusted by the amount of additional
    tax expense or benefit that we would accrue if we used non-GAAP results
    instead of GAAP results in the calculation of our tax liability, taking
    into consideration our long-term tax structure. We use a normalized
    effective tax rate of 17%, which reflects the weighted average tax rate
    applicable under the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate.
    This non-GAAP weighted average tax rate is subject to change over time
    for various reasons, including changes in the geographic business mix
    and changes in statutory tax rates. Our GAAP tax rate for the fiscal
    year ended January 31, 2010 is (11%). The GAAP tax rate considers
    certain mandatory and other non-scalable tax costs which may adversely
    or beneficially affect our tax rate depending upon our level of
    profitability in various jurisdictions.

In certain instances our GAAP results of operations may not be profitable when our corresponding non-GAAP results are profitable or vice versa. The number of shares on which our non-GAAP earnings per share is calculated may therefore differ from the GAAP presentation due to the anti-dilutive effect of stock options in a loss situation.

Non-GAAP gross margin, operating margin, and net income (loss) are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Moreover, they should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We present non-GAAP gross margin, operating margin, and net income (loss) because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our operating performance and profitability trends, and because we believe they give investors useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management. Non-GAAP net income (loss) also facilitates comparison with other companies in our industry, which use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Non-GAAP net income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In the future we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above and exclusion of these items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP net income (loss) are:

--  Amortization of intangibles represents the loss in value as the
    technology in our industry evolves, is advanced, or is replaced over
    time. The expense associated with this loss in value is not included in
    the non-GAAP net income (loss) presentation and therefore does not
    reflect the full economic effect of the ongoing cost of maintaining our
    current technological position in our competitive industry, which is
    addressed through our research and development program.

--  We regularly engage in acquisition and assimilation activities as part
    of our ongoing business and regularly evaluate our businesses to
    determine whether any operations should be eliminated or curtailed. We
    therefore will continue to experience special charges on a regular
    basis. These costs also directly impact our available funds.

--  We perform impairment analyses on cost method investments when
    triggering events occur and adjust the carrying value of assets when we
    determine it to be necessary. Impairment charges could therefore be
    incurred in any period.

--  Our stock option and stock purchase plans are important components of
    our incentive compensation arrangements and will be reflected as
    expenses in our GAAP results.

--  Our income tax expense (benefit) will be ultimately based on our GAAP
    taxable income and actual tax rates in effect, which often differ
    significantly from the 17% rate assumed in our non-GAAP presentation.

--  Other companies, including other companies in our industry, calculate
    non-GAAP net income (loss) differently than we do, limiting its
    usefulness as a comparative measure.

               UNAUDITED RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP
                        EARNINGS PER SHARE GUIDANCE

The following table reconciles management's estimates of the specific items
excluded from GAAP in the calculation of expected non-GAAP loss per share
for the periods shown below:




                                                                Q1 FY11

Non-GAAP Adjustments:
 Amortization of purchased intangible assets (1)                      0.03
 Amortization of other identified intangible assets (2)               0.02
 Equity plan-related compensation (3)                                 0.04
 Special charges (4)                                                  0.00
 Other income and interest expense (5)                                0.01
 Income tax effects (6)                                              (0.10)
                                                            --------------
Non-GAAP net loss per share                                 $        (0.05)
                                                            ==============

(1) Excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets resulting from
    acquisition transactions. Purchased intangible assets are amortized
    over two to five years.  The guidance for Q1 FY11 assumes no additional
    acquisitions.
(2) Excludes amortization of other identified intangible assets including
    trade names, employment agreements, and customer relationships, and
    deferred compensation resulting from acquisition transactions.  Other
    identified intangible assets are amortized over two to five years.  The
    guidance for Q1 FY11 assumes no additional acquisitions.
(3) Excludes equity plan-related compensation expense.
(4) Excludes special charges consisting primarily of costs incurred for
    facility closures, employee rebalances, (which includes severance
    benefits, notice pay and outplacement services), advisory fees, and
    acquisition costs. The guidance for Q1 FY11 assumes no additional
    special charges.
(5) Reflects amortization of original issuance debt discount and equity in
    losses of an equity method investment.
(6) Non-GAAP income tax expense adjustment reflects the application of our
    assumed normalized effective 17% tax rate, instead of our GAAP tax
    rate, to our GAAP pre-tax income and the application of the 17% tax
    rate to our non-GAAP adjustments.
