(PRNewswire) - Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced results for the first quarter 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[SUP]® [/SUP]Z1 Enterprise Emulation Platform, Cadence achieved its best quarter ever for hardware revenue. Additionally, the release of the next-generation Virtuoso[SUP]® [/SUP]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."

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results. Investors are also encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance.
To supplement Cadence's financial results presented on a generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, basis, Cadence management uses non-GAAP measures that it believes are helpful in understanding Cadence's performance. One such measure is non-GAAP net income, which is a financial measure not calculated under GAAP. Non-GAAP net income is calculated by Cadence management by taking GAAP net income and excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets and debt discount related to convertible notes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including retention expenses, special charges, investment gains or losses, income or expenses related to Cadence's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, restructuring and other significant items not directly related to Cadence's core business operations, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments.
Cadence's management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of the company's core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence's management and investors regarding the performance of the business operations, facilitates comparisons to the historical operating results and allows the review of Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence's management, including forecasting and budgeting.
The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the periods shown below:
