Frequently Asked Questions
What was the primary driver of Cadence Design Systems' revenue growth in the first half of 2012?
The primary driver of revenue growth was a significant increase in product revenue, which rose by 33% year-over-year. This was supported by a general increase in the annualized values of software contracts, higher hardware sales, and the company's ongoing transition to a ratable license revenue model.
How has the company's financial position changed regarding liquidity?
Cadence Design Systems has strengthened its liquidity position. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased to $713.0 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $604.6 million at the end of 2011. Net working capital also saw a substantial increase.
What are the potential implications of the 2015 Convertible Notes becoming convertible into cash?
The 2015 Convertible Notes, with a principal of $350 million, became convertible into cash from July 1, 2012, leading to their reclassification as a current liability on the balance sheet.
