Summary
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. reported a solid financial performance for the first quarter of 2013, showcasing significant year-over-year growth in revenue and net income. Total revenue increased by 12% to $354.3 million, driven primarily by a 15% surge in product and maintenance revenue to $328.3 million. This growth reflects increased business levels and the recognition of revenue from prior period bookings. Net income more than doubled to $78.6 million from $31.1 million in the prior year's first quarter, resulting in a substantial improvement in both basic and diluted earnings per share. The company's strong operational performance was supported by controlled operating expenses, which grew at a slower pace than revenue, and a significant income tax benefit primarily due to the release of uncertain tax benefits and the retroactive extension of the US federal research tax credit. The company also ended the quarter with a robust cash position, exceeding $911 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, and a healthy increase in net working capital.
