With generational industry trends continuing to drive robust design activity at both semiconductor and system companies, I excitedly look forward to Cadence driving further customer and shareholder success this year.”
“2021 was another year of continuous improvement at Cadence. Steady growth in our three year revenue growth CAGR continues to drive operating margin expansion, and the quality of those improvements in earnings are showing up in our operating cash, which hit $1.1 billion for the year,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “I am pleased that we can build on 2021 with a strong outlook for 2022.”
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2022, the company expects total revenue in the range of $850 million to $870 million. First quarter GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of 30 percent to 31 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.74. Using the non-GAAP measures defined below, operating margin is expected to be in the range of 40 percent to 41 percent and net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.04.
For fiscal year 2022, the company expects total revenue in the range of $3.32 billion to $3.38 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating margin is expected to be in the range of 27.5 percent to 29 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share for 2022 is expected to be in the range of $2.46 to $2.56.

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.
