Synopsys (Nasdaq:SNPS) announced this afternoon results for its first quarter of fiscal 2014 and its acquisition of Coverity, Inc. Highlights of the announcements are provided below. The full Synopsys releases can be accessed here: Synopsys Posts Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 - Feb 19, 2014 and here Synopsys Enters Software Quality and Security Market with Coverity Acquisition - Feb 19, 2014

Coverity acquisition highlights:
Synopsys signed a definitive agreement to acquire Coverity, the leading provider of software quality, testing, and security tools. Under the terms of the agreement, Synopsys will pay approximately $375 million, or $350 million net of cash acquired. The acquisition opens up opportunities to increase
penetration into the semiconductor and systems space where Synopsys excels and enables Synopsys to enter a new, growing market geared toward enterprise IT and independent software providers that Synopsys doesn’t currently address. The acquisition is expected to close in Synopsys’ fiscal Q2.

Q1 2014 highlights include:
Synopsys posted its first-quarter results, overachieving EPS guidance by $.07. The company also cited continued customer successes, as well as ongoing preparations for a number of upcoming product launches. While Synopsys says its customers remain cautious in their spending, technology advances continue unabated, making great EDA and IP solutions essential to their success.


  • Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $479.0 million, compared
to $475.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of approximately 1 percent.


  • GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $67.7 million, or $0.43 per share, compared to $69.9 million, or $0.45 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.


  • On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $93.1 million, or $0.59
per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $103.0 million, or $0.67 per share, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2013.
