Filed July 25, 2013For Securities:CDNS

Summary

Cadence Design Systems Inc. reported solid revenue growth for the six months ended June 29, 2013, driven by a strong performance in its product and maintenance segment, which saw a 14% increase year-over-year. This growth was fueled by increased business levels, revenue recognized from prior period bookings, and contributions from recent acquisitions, notably Tensilica and Cosmic Circuits. While service revenue saw a decline, the overall revenue increase demonstrates continued demand for Cadence's core offerings in the semiconductor and electronics design space. The company also made significant strategic moves, including the acquisition of Tensilica for $319.3 million and Cosmic Circuits for $59.5 million, aimed at expanding its intellectual property (IP) solutions. These acquisitions have notably increased the company's goodwill and acquired intangibles on the balance sheet. Despite these investments and increased operating expenses, particularly in R&D and sales & marketing, the company generated positive cash flow from operations, indicating robust business activity.
