(PRNewswire) —  Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015.

Cadence Logo.

Cadence reported fourth quarter 2015 revenue of $441 million, compared to revenue of $423 million reported for the same period in 2014.  On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized net income of $80 million, or $0.26 per share on a diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $65 million, or $0.21 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2014.  Revenue for 2015 totaled $1.702 billion, compared to revenue of $1.581 billion for 2014.  Net income for 2015 was $252 million, or $0.81 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $159 million, or $0.52 per share on a diluted basis, for 2014.

Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net income in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $95 million, or $0.31 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $84 million, or $0.27 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2014.  For 2015, non-GAAP net income was $341 million, or $1.09 per share on a diluted basis, compared to non-GAAP net income of $287 million, or $0.94 per share on a diluted basis, in 2014.

"In 2015, Cadence produced excellent financial results and continued innovating with the launch of nine new products, including Genus Synthesis, Innovus Implementation, the Palladium® Z1 Enterprise Emulation Platform and the Tensilica® Vision P5 processor.  We expanded our digital business with additional market-shaping customers, and conducted pioneering work at the advanced nodes." said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer.  "Strong customer demand for the new Palladium Z1 helped drive robust hardware sales in the fourth quarter.  Looking ahead to 2016, while we face many industry challenges, we are confident that our innovative technologies and the execution of our strategies will enable us to continue to drive growth and deliver enhanced shareholder value."

"Superb execution led to strong results for Q4 and fiscal 2015 in what continues to be a challenging environment." said Geoff Ribar, senior vice president and chief financial officer.  "In 2015, we achieved strong revenue growth, profitability and cash flow that exceeded our expectations, and we initiated a $1.2 billion capital return program."

On January 28, 2016, Cadence entered into a $300 million three-year senior unsecured non-amortizing term loan facility with a group of seven lending institutions.  The interest rate will float at a margin of 112.5 basis points over LIBOR, and the initial interest rate is approximately 1.75%.  The proceeds from the term loan facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of our common stock.  At the same time, Cadence also drew down $50 million on its existing revolving credit facility.

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 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 generally accepted accounting principles, or 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 and debt discount related to convertible notes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including changes in fair value of contingent consideration and retention expenses for employees added from our 2013 and 2014 acquisitions, special charges (comprised of costs related to a voluntary retirement program and executive severance costs), 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.  For 2015, Cadence is applying a non-GAAP income tax rate of 23 percent, down from 26 percent used in fiscal 2014, based on forecasted increases in foreign earnings that are expected to lower Cadence's long-term non-GAAP effective income tax rate.

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.

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