MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a global leader providing software, IP and services used to accelerate innovation in chips and electronic systems, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, Synopsys reported revenue of $504.9 million, compared to $454.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $1.962 billion, an increase of 11.7 percent from $1.756 billion in fiscal 2012.
"Synopsys achieved excellent results in fiscal year 2013, and we are seeing strong product and customer momentum," said Aart de Geus, chairman and co-CEO of Synopsys. "Amid a landscape characterized by a mix of economic uncertainty and aggressive investment in designs, Synopsys is in a very strong competitive position, as many key customers rely on us to accelerate their differentiation and speed their time to market."
GAAP Results
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $56.9 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to $29.1 million, or $0.19 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. GAAP net income for fiscal year 2013 was $247.8 million, or $1.58 per share, compared to $182.4 million, or $1.21 per share, for fiscal 2012.
Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $88.3 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $72.4 million, or $0.47 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2013 was $381.4 million, or $2.44 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $315.5 million, or $2.10 per share, for fiscal 2012. Reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.
Financial Targets
Synopsys also provided its financial targets for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2014. These targets do not include any future acquisition costs that may be incurred in fiscal year 2014. These targets constitute forward-looking information and are based on current expectations.

GAAP Reconciliation
Synopsys continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Synopsys presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Synopsys' operating results in a manner that focuses on what Synopsys believes to be its ongoing business operations and what Synopsys uses to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Synopsys' management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Synopsys' management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes: (i) the amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of stock compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, including inventory fair value adjustments, (iv) other significant items, including facilities restructuring and the effect of tax settlements with tax authorities, and (v) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments as well as unusual or infrequent tax adjustments; and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of Synopsys' business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever Synopsys uses a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed below.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements made in this press release regarding projected financial results in the sections entitled "Financial Targets," and "Reconciliation of Target Non-GAAP Operating Results," and certain other statements, including statements regarding customer demand for our technology and predictable business model, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, certain statements made in the earnings conference call are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those described by these statements due to a number of uncertainties, including, but not limited to:
-- continued uncertainty in the global economy and its potential impact on the semiconductor and electronics industries; -- uncertainty in the growth of the semiconductor and electronics industry; -- increased competition in the market for Synopsys' products and services including through consolidation in the industry and among our customers; -- changes in demand for Synopsys' products due to fluctuations in demand for its customers' products; -- Synopsys' ability to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of acquisitions it completes and the difficulties in the integration of the products and operations of acquired companies or assets into Synopsys' products and operations, including delays in customer orders, potential loss of customers, key employees, partners or vendors, customer demand and support obligations for product offerings, and disruption of ongoing business operations and diversion of management attention; -- adverse changes in the relationships between Synopsys and key participants in the complex semiconductor ecosystem, including major foundries and intellectual property providers; -- litigation; -- lower-than-anticipated new IC design starts; -- lower-than-anticipated purchases or delays in purchases of products or consulting services by Synopsys' customers, including delays in the renewal, or non-renewal, of Synopsys' license arrangements with major customers; -- changes in the mix of time-based licenses and upfront licenses; -- lower-than-expected orders; and -- failure of customers to pay license fees as scheduled.
In addition, Synopsys' actual expenses, earnings per share and tax rate on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2014; actual expenses, earnings per share, tax rate, and other projections on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for fiscal year 2014; and cash flow from operations on a GAAP basis for fiscal year 2014 could differ materially from the targets stated under "Financial Targets" above for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, (i) integration and other acquisition-related costs, (ii) application of the actual consolidated GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates for such periods, or judgment by management, based upon the status of pending audits and settlements to increase or decrease an income tax asset or liability, (iii) a determination by Synopsys that any portion of its goodwill or intangible assets have become impaired, (iv) changes in the anticipated amount of employee stock-based compensation expense recognized in Synopsys' financial statements, (v) actual change in the fair value of Synopsys' non-qualified deferred compensation plan obligations, (vi) increases or decreases to estimated capital expenditures, (vii) changes driven by new accounting rules, regulations, interpretations or guidance, (viii) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, (ix) general economic conditions, and (x) other risks as detailed in Synopsys' SEC filings, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section in its latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2013. Furthermore, Synopsys' actual tax rates applied to income for the first quarter and fiscal year 2014 could differ from the targets given in this press release as a result of a number of factors, including the actual geographic mix of revenue during the quarter and year, and actions by the government.
Finally, Synopsys' targets for outstanding shares in the first quarter and fiscal year 2014 could differ from the targets given in this press release as a result of higher than expected employee stock plan issuances or stock option exercises, acquisitions, and the extent of Synopsys' stock repurchase activity.
