Cadence Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
July 28, 2021 | Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced results for the second quarter of 2021. The company reported second quarter 2021 revenue of $728 million, compared to revenue of $638 million for the same period in 2020. On a GAAP basis, Cadence achieved operating margin of 25 percent and recognized net income of $156 million, or $0.56 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to operating margin of 24 percent and net income of $131 million, or $0.47 per share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2020.
Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 39 percent and net income was $238 million, or $0.86 per share on a diluted basis, compared to operating margin of 35 percent and net income of $185 million, or $0.66 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2020.
“Cadence delivered outstanding financial results for the second quarter on broad based customer demand as the Cadence team continues to execute exceedingly well.” said Lip-Bu Tan, chief executive officer. “Generational drivers are fueling strong design activity and our ISD strategy coupled with a strong innovation engine that has led to introducing eight significant new products so far this year, positions us extremely well to delight our customers and accelerate growth.”
“Cadence exceeded all of its key financial metrics for the second quarter and as a result we are raising our outlook for the year,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer.
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2021, the company expects total revenue in the range of $730 million to $750 million. Third quarter GAAP operating margin is expected to be approximately 23 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.48 to $0.50. Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin is expected to be approximately 34 percent and net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.74 to $0.76.
For 2021, the company expects total revenue in the range of $2.925 billion to $2.965 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating margin is expected to be in the range of 24.5 percent to 25.25 percent and GAAP net income per diluted share for 2021 is expected to be in the range of $2.15 to $2.21. Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin for 2021 is expected to be in the range of 36 percent to 36.75 percent and net income per diluted share for 2021 is expected to be in the range of $3.14 to $3.20.
Our fiscal years are 52- or 53-week periods ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2021 will be a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2020 was a 53-week fiscal year, with an additional week in our fourth quarter of 2020.

iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series: Role of EDA in Advanced Semiconductor Packaging
04/26/2024 | iNEMIAdvanced semiconductor packaging with heterogenous integration has made on-package integration of multiple chips a crucial part of finding alternatives to transistor scaling. Historically, EDA tools for front-end and back-end design have evolved separately; however, design complexity and the increased number of die-to-die or die-to-substrate interconnections has led to the need for EDA tools that can support integration of overall design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single cockpit.
