Filed December 22, 2025For Securities:SNPS

Summary

Synopsys, Inc. (SNPS) reported strong revenue growth of 15% to $7.1 billion for the fiscal year ending October 30, 2025, significantly boosted by the acquisition of Ansys, Inc. which contributed $756.6 million in revenue. Despite overall growth, the company experienced a revenue decrease of 22% in China (excluding Ansys) due to export control restrictions and weaker demand from a key foundry customer, impacting its Design IP segment. The company is strategically navigating these challenges, including reallocating resources within its IP business to higher-growth opportunities. Synopsys' core Design Automation segment showed strength. The company ended the fiscal year with a robust cash position of $3.0 billion and significant liquidity. Despite the impact of the Ansys merger, which increased debt levels, Synopsys remains focused on innovation, particularly in AI-driven chip design, and managing its market position in the competitive semiconductor industry.
