The following summary of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on December 20, 2013. Overview Business Summary Synopsys is a global leader in providing software, intellectual property and services used to design integrated circuits and electronic systems. We supply the electronic design automation (EDA) software that engineers use to design, create prototypes for and test integrated circuits, also known as chips. We also supply software and hardware used to develop the systems that incorporate integrated circuits and the software that runs on those integrated circuits. Our intellectual property (IP) products are pre-designed circuits that engineers use as components of larger chip designs rather than designing those circuits themselves. To complement these product offerings, we provide technical services to support our solutions and we help our customers develop chips and electronic systems. Our customers are generally semiconductor and electronics systems companies. Our solutions help them overcome the challenge of developing increasingly advanced electronics products while reducing their design and manufacturing costs. While our products are an important part of our customers' development process, our customers' research and development budget and spending decisions may be affected by their business outlook and their willingness to invest in new and increasingly complex chip designs. Despite global economic uncertainty, we have maintained profitability and positive cash flow on an annual basis in recent years. We achieved these results not only because of our solid execution, leading technology and strong customer relationships, but also because of our time-based revenue business model. Under this model, a substantial majority of our customers pay for their licenses over time and we typically recognize this revenue over the life of the contract, which averages approximately three years. Time-based revenue, which consists of time-based license, maintenance and service revenue, generally represents approximately 90% of our total revenue. The revenue we recognize in a particular period generally results from selling efforts in prior periods rather than the current period. Due to our business model, decreases as well as increases in customer spending do not immediately affect our revenues in a significant way. As we continue to expand our product portfolio and our total addressable market, for instance in IP products, we may experience increased variability in our revenue, though we expect time-based revenue to continue to generally represent approximately 90% of our total revenue. We also continue to pursue acquisitions to broaden our product offerings. For example, we recently announced an agreement to acquire Coverity, Inc. (Coverity), and while we believe it will expand our total addressable market, we expect that, if consummated, it will have a negative effect on net income in the short term. Overall, our business outlook remains solid based on our leading technology, customer relationships, business model, diligent expense management, and acquisition strategy. We believe that these factors will help us continue to successfully execute our strategies. 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Financial Performance Summary for the Three Months Ended January 31, 2014 (Compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2013) Net income for the quarter was slightly lower than the same period in fiscal 2013 as increases in revenue were offset by higher operating expenses. • Total revenue increased by 1%. We continued to derive more than 90% of our revenue from time-based revenue. • Cost of revenue improved by 5% primarily due to lower amortization of intangibles. • Operating expenses were higher by 3% mainly due to higher headcount, which is the main driver of our expenses. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our discussion and analysis of our financial results under the heading "Results of Operations" below are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing these financial statements, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and net income. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. The accounting policies that most frequently require us to make assumptions, judgments and estimates, and therefore are critical to understanding our results of operations, are: • Revenue recognition; • Valuation of stock compensation; • Valuation of intangible assets; and • Income taxes. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on December 20, 2013. Results of Operations Revenue Background We generate our revenue from the sale of software licenses, maintenance and professional services and, to a small extent, hardware products. With respect to software licenses, we utilize three license types: • Technology Subscription Licenses (TSLs). TSLs are time-based licenses for a finite term, and generally provide the customer limited rights to receive, or to exchange certain quantities of licensed software for, unspecified future technology. We bundle and do not charge separately for post-contract customer support (maintenance) for the term of the license. • Term licenses. Term licenses are also for a finite term, but do not provide the customer any rights to receive, or to exchange licensed software for, unspecified future technology. Customers purchase maintenance separately for the first year and may renew annually for the balance of the term. The annual maintenance fee is typically calculated as a percentage of the net license fee. • Perpetual licenses. Perpetual licenses continue as long as the customer renews maintenance plus an additional 20 years. Perpetual licenses do not provide the customer any rights to receive, or to exchange licensed software for, unspecified future technology. Customers purchase maintenance separately for the first year and may renew annually. For the three software license types, we recognize revenue as follows: • TSLs. We typically recognize revenue from TSL fees (which include bundled maintenance) ratably over the term of the license period, or as customer installments become due and payable, whichever is later. Revenue attributable to TSLs is reported as "time-based license revenue" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. 17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents • Term licenses. We recognize revenue from term licenses in full upon shipment of the software if payment terms require the customer to pay at least 75% of the license fee and 100% of the maintenance fee within one year from shipment and all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Revenue attributable to these term licenses is reported as "upfront license revenue" in the consolidated statements of operations. For term licenses in which less than 75% of the license fee and 100% of the maintenance fee is payable within one year from shipment, we recognize revenue as customer payments become due and payable. Such revenue is reported as "time-based license revenue" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. • Perpetual licenses. We recognize revenue from perpetual licenses in full upon shipment of the software if payment terms require the customer to pay at least 75% of the license fee and 100% of the maintenance fee within one year from shipment and all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Revenue attributable to these perpetual licenses is reported as "upfront license revenue" in the consolidated statements of operations. For perpetual licenses in which less than 75% of the license fee and 100% of the maintenance fee is payable within one year from shipment, we recognize revenue as customer installments become due and payable. Such revenue is reported as "time-based license revenue" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognize revenue from orders we receive for software licenses, services and hardware products at varying times. In most instances, we recognize revenue on a TSL software license order over the license term and on a term or perpetual software license order in the quarter in which the license is delivered. The weighted average license term of the TSLs and term licenses we entered into for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was 2.6 and 2.4 years, respectively. Revenue on contracts requiring significant modification or development is accounted for using the percentage of completion method over the period of the development. Revenue on hardware product orders is generally recognized in full at the time the product is shipped. Contingent revenue is recognized if and when the applicable event occurs. Revenue on maintenance orders is recognized ratably over the maintenance period (normally one year). Revenue on professional services orders is generally recognized after services are performed and accepted by the customer. Our revenue in any period is equal to the sum of our time-based license, upfront license, maintenance and professional services for the period. We derive time-based license revenue largely from TSL orders received and delivered in prior quarters and to a smaller extent due to contracts in which revenue is recognized as customer installments become due and payable and from contingent revenue arrangements. We derive upfront license revenue directly from term and perpetual license and hardware product orders mostly booked and shipped during the period. We derive maintenance revenue largely from maintenance orders received in prior periods since our maintenance orders generally yield revenue ratably over a term of one year. We also derive professional services revenue primarily from orders received in prior quarters, since we recognize revenue from professional services as those services are delivered and accepted or on percentage of completion for arrangements requiring significant modification of our software, and not when they are booked. Our license revenue is sensitive to the mix of TSLs and perpetual or term licenses delivered during a reporting period. A TSL order typically yields lower current quarter revenue but contributes to revenue in future periods. For example, a $120,000 order for a three-year TSL delivered on the last day of a quarter typically generates no revenue in that quarter, but $10,000 in each of the twelve succeeding quarters. Conversely, a $120,000 order for perpetual and term licenses with greater than 75% of the license fee due within one year from shipment typically generates $120,000 in revenue in the quarter the product is delivered, but no future revenue. Additionally, revenue in a particular quarter may also be impacted by perpetual and term licenses in which less than 75% of the license fees and 100% of the maintenance fees are payable within one year from shipment as the related revenue will be recognized as revenue in the period when customer payments become due and payable. Our customer arrangements are complex, involving hundreds of products and various license rights, and our customers bargain with us over many aspects of these arrangements. For example, they often demand a broader portfolio of solutions, support and services and seek more favorable terms such as expanded license usage, future purchase rights and other unique rights at an overall lower total cost. No single factor typically drives our customers' buying decisions, and we compete on all fronts to serve customers in a highly competitive EDA market. Customers generally negotiate the total value of the arrangement rather than just unit pricing or volumes. 18-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Total Revenue January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended $ 479.0 $ 475.1 $ 3.9 1 % Our revenues are subject to fluctuations, primarily due to customer requirements, including payment terms and the timing and value of contract renewals. For example, we experience variability in our quarterly revenue due to factors such as the timing of renewals of maintenance contracts, timing of IP consulting projects and royalties, and certain contracts where revenue is recognized when customer installment payments are due, as well as volatility in hardware sales. Total revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was relatively flat as an increase in time-based license revenue was offset by a decrease in our maintenance and service revenue. Time-Based License Revenue January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended $ 400.1 $ 385.9 $ 14.2 4 % Percentage of total revenue 84 % 81 % The increase in time-based license revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to an increase in TSL license revenue from arrangements booked in prior periods. Upfront License Revenue January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended $ 34.0 $ 30.8 $ 3.2 10 % Percentage of total revenue 7 % 6 % Changes in upfront license revenue are generally attributable to normal fluctuations in customer requirements, which can drive the amount of upfront orders and revenue in any particular period. The increase in upfront license revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to an increase in the sale of perpetual licenses to IP and system-level products. Maintenance and Service Revenue January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended Maintenance revenue $ 18.8 $ 20.9 $ (2.1 ) (10 )% Professional services and other revenue 26.1 37.5 (11.4 ) (30 )% Total maintenance and service revenue $ 44.9 $ 58.4 $ (13.5 ) (23 )% Percentage of total revenue 9 % 12 % Maintenance revenue fluctuates primarily due to the timing of renewals of maintenance contracts. Professional services and other revenue decreased in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013, primarily due to the timing of projects that require significant modification or customization and are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. 19-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Cost of Revenue January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended Cost of license revenue $ 62.8 $ 64.5 $ (1.7 ) (3 )% Cost of maintenance and service revenue 20.3 20.1 0.2 1 % Amortization of intangible assets 22.7 26.5 (3.8 ) (14 )% Total $ 105.8 $ 111.1 $ (5.3 ) (5 )% Percentage of total revenue 22 % 23 % We divide cost of revenue into three categories: cost of license revenue, cost of maintenance and service revenue, and amortization of intangible assets. We segregate expenses directly associated with consulting and training services from cost of license revenue associated with internal functions providing license delivery and post-customer contract support services. We then allocate these group costs between cost of license revenue and cost of maintenance and service revenue based on license and maintenance and service revenue reported. Cost of license revenue. Cost of license revenue includes costs related to products sold and software licensed, allocated operating costs related to product support and distribution costs, royalties paid to third party vendors, and the amortization of capitalized research and development costs associated with software products which have reached technological feasibility. Cost of maintenance and service revenue. Cost of maintenance and service revenue includes operating costs related to maintaining the infrastructure necessary to operate our services and training organization, and costs associated with the delivery of our consulting services, such as, hotline and on-site support, production services and documentation of maintenance updates. Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets, which is recorded to cost of revenue and operating expenses, includes the amortization of certain contract rights and the amortization of core/developed technology, trademarks, trade names, customer relationships, and covenants not to compete related to acquisitions. The decrease in cost of revenue in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a decrease of $3.8 million in amortization of intangible assets due to certain intangible assets being fully amortized in fiscal 2013, and $2.3 million in lower product costs, as the same period of fiscal 2013 included market value adjustments related to inventories acquired through a business combination that were fully consumed in fiscal 2013. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue marginally decreased in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 primarily due to the decrease in amortization of intangible assets. Operating Expenses Research and Development January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended $ 167.5 $ 157.5 $ 10.0 6 % Percentage of total revenue 35 % 33 % The increase in research and development expenses in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to increases of $6.1 million in personnel-related costs and $2.9 million in functionally allocated expenses, which were both due to headcount increases. 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Sales and Marketing January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended $ 105.8 $ 101.8 $ 4.0 4 % Percentage of total revenue 22 % 21 % The increase in sales and marketing expenses in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to an increase in marketing events. General and Administrative January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended $ 34.2 $ 37.9 $ (3.7 ) (10 )% Percentage of total revenue 7 % 8 % The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to decreases of $2.0 million in personnel-related costs, higher allocation of $3.6 million in expenses to other functions, resulting from increased headcount in other functions, and $2.6 million in bad debt reserve. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in professional service costs. Amortization of Intangible Assets January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended Included in cost of revenue $ 22.7 $ 26.5 $ (3.8 ) (14 )% Included in operating expenses 5.4 5.9 (0.5 ) (8 )% Total $ 28.1 $ 32.4 $ (4.3 ) (13 )% Percentage of total revenue 6 % 7 % The decrease in amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 was due to certain intangible assets being fully amortized in fiscal 2013. See Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a schedule of future amortization amounts.

Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2013 was higher principally due to the reinstatement of the U.S. federal research tax credit in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as well as the reversal of deferred taxes resulting from the merger of a foreign affiliate partially offset 21-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents by tax benefits of settlement with the IRS in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 of the Company's fiscal 2012 tax filing. The expiration of the U.S. federal research tax credit on December 31, 2013 resulted in only two months of tax credit in fiscal 2014, compared to fiscal 2013 that had an additional tax credit for ten months of fiscal 2012 due to the reinstatement of the tax credit as well as a full year tax credit for fiscal 2013. For further discussion of the provision for income taxes, see Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our sources of cash and cash equivalents are funds generated from our business operations and funds that may be drawn down under our revolving credit and term loan facilities. As of January 31, 2014, we held an aggregate of $289.2 million in cash and cash equivalents in the United States and an aggregate of $603.9 million in our foreign subsidiaries. Funds held in our foreign subsidiaries are generated from revenue outside North America. At present, such foreign funds are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign countries to the extent of indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings. However, in the event funds from foreign operations were needed to fund cash needs in the U.S. and if U.S. taxes have not already been previously accrued, we would be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes in order to repatriate these funds. The following sections discuss changes in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flow, and other commitments of our liquidity and capital resources during the three months ended January 31, 2014. Cash and Cash Equivalents January 31, October 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 893.1 $ 1,022.4 $ (129.3 ) (13 )% Our cash used in operating activities was $73.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Other cash investing and financing activities were (1) share repurchases of $54.7 million, offset by proceeds from employee stock plans of $21.6 million, (2) purchases of property and equipment of $14.4 million, (3) proceeds from the sale of non-marketable equity securities of $6.8 million, and (4) payment for our Term Loan (as defined below) of $7.5 million. Cash Flows January 31, 2014 2013 $ Change (dollars in millions) Three months ended Cash used in operating activities $ (73.9 ) $ (91.4 ) $ 17.5 Cash used in investing activities (9.4 ) (14.8 ) 5.4 Cash used in financing activities (41.0 ) (36.4 ) (4.6 ) We expect cash from our operating activities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of our billings and collections, our operating results, the timing and amount of tax and other liability payments. Cash provided by our operations is dependent primarily upon the payment terms of our license agreements. We generally receive cash from upfront license revenue much sooner than from time-based license revenue, in which the license fee is typically paid either quarterly or annually over the term of the license. Cash used in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was lower compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 primarily due to lower disbursements. Cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was lower compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 due to the sale of non-marketable equity securities. Cash used in financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was higher compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 primarily due to share repurchases in the current period that did not occur in the same period of fiscal 2013, partially offset by our payment to acquire the remaining non-controlling interest in SpringSoft in the same period of fiscal 2013 and increased proceeds from employee stock plans in the current period. 22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Accounts Receivable, net January 31, October 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) $ 246.8 $ 256.0 $ (9.2 ) (4 )% Our accounts receivable and days sales outstanding (DSO) are primarily driven by our billing and collections activities. Our DSO was 47 days at January 31, 2014, and 46 days at October 31, 2013. DSO remained relatively flat due to decreases in our revenue and accounts receivable balance. Working Capital. Working capital is comprised of current assets less current liabilities, as shown on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets: January 31, October 31, 2014 2013 $ Change % Change (dollars in millions) Current assets $ 1,320.9 $ 1,448.0 $ (127.1 ) (9 )% Current liabilities 1,036.7 1,222.9 (186.2 ) (15 )% Working capital $ 284.2 $ 225.1 $ 59.1 26 % Changes in our working capital were primarily due to: (1) a $140.8 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, (2) a $49.5 million decrease in deferred revenue due to timing of our billings, (3) a $10.9 million increase in prepaid and other current assets due to the timing of payments for maintenance contracts. These changes in working capital were partially offset by a $129.4 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and a $9.3 million decrease in accounts receivable. Other Commitments-Credit Facility On February 17, 2012, we entered into an agreement with several lenders (the Credit Agreement) providing for (i) a $350.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the Revolver) and (ii) a $150.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the Term Loan). Principal payments on a portion of the Term Loan are due in equal quarterly installments of $7.5 million, with the remainder due when the Credit Agreement expires in October 2016. We can elect to make prepayments on the Term Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders, the principal amount of the loans provided under the Credit Agreement may be increased by us by up to an additional $150.0 million through October 13, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to operate within a maximum leverage ratio and maintain specified levels of cash, as well as other non-financial covenants. As of January 31, 2014, we had a $97.5 million outstanding balance under the Term Loan, of which $67.5 million is classified as long-term, and no outstanding balance under the Revolver. As of October 31, 2013, we had a $105.0 million outstanding balance under the Term Loan, of which $75.0 million is classified as long-term, and no outstanding balance under the Revolver. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate based on a margin over our choice of market-observable base rates as defined in the Credit Agreement. At January 31, 2014, borrowings under the Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR + 1.125% and the applicable interest rate for the Revolver was LIBOR + 0.975%. In addition, commitment fees are payable on the Revolver at rates between 0.150% and 0.300% per year based on our leverage ratio on the daily amount of the revolving commitment. Pending acquisition of Coverity On February 19, 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Coverity, a leading provider of software quality, testing, and security tools, for a total consideration of approximately $375 million in cash and assumption of outstanding unvested Coverity stock options. The acquisition is anticipated to close in the second fiscal quarter of 2014. We expect to fund the acquisition using a combination of cash and debt. Other As of January 31, 2014, our cash equivalents consisted of cash deposits, tax-exempt money market mutual funds, and taxable money market mutual funds. We follow an established investment policy and set of guidelines to monitor, manage and limit our exposure to interest rate and credit risk. We proactively manage our cash and cash equivalents balances and closely monitor our capital and stock repurchase expenditures to ensure ample liquidity. Our cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 under fair value guidance. See Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available credit under our Revolver will satisfy our routine business requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. |
