Frequently Asked Questions
What was the primary driver of revenue growth in Q1 2016?
Revenue growth was driven by increases in both product and maintenance revenue (up 7%) and a significant surge in services revenue (up 30%). This indicates strong demand across Cadence's software, hardware, and service offerings.
How has the company's debt situation changed?
Cadence took on new debt during the quarter, securing a $300 million term loan and borrowing $50 million under its revolving credit facility. This increased its total outstanding debt from $343.3 million to $692.9 million (carrying value). These borrowings are intended for general corporate purposes, including stock repurchases.
What is the company doing with its cash?
Cadence is actively returning capital to shareholders through significant share repurchases, spending $240 million in the quarter alone, and continuing to invest in research and development, with R&D expenses increasing by 10% year-over-year. The company also saw a substantial increase in its cash and cash equivalents balance.
Are there any significant accounting changes impacting the financials?
Cadence early adopted a new accounting standard for stock-based compensation, which impacts how income tax effects are recognized and classified in the cash flow statement. This resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit and a change in cash flow presentation for excess tax benefits.
