Cadence Design Systems has announced results for the first quarter of 2016.
Cadence reported first quarter 2016 revenue of $448 million, compared to revenue of $411 million reported for the same period in 2015. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized net income of $51 million, or $0.17 per share on a diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $36 million, or $0.12 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2015.
Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net income in the first quarter of 2016 was $86 million, or $0.28 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $72 million, or $0.23 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2015.
“In the first quarter of 2016, we continued to innovate and execute to drive growth and deliver results for our customers. With customers enthusiastically embracing our Palladium Z1 Enterprise Emulation Platform, Cadence achieved its best quarter ever for hardware revenue. Additionally, the release of the next-generation Virtuoso® platform sets a new standard for analog and mixed-signal design for broad applications including automotive and IoT,” said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. “Our recently announced pending acquisition of Rocketick Technologies will further strengthen our System Design Enablement strategy by delivering ultra-high-performance simulation to accelerate the development of complete end-product systems.”
“Strong execution at all levels of the company enabled Cadence to produce solid financial results in an environment that remains challenging,” said Geoff Ribar, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “During Q1, we repurchased 11.6 million shares for $240 million, reducing shares outstanding to 301 million at quarter-end.”
