What is the primary driver of Synopsys' revenue growth in this quarter?

The primary driver of Synopsys' revenue growth for the quarter ended January 31, 2002, was the adoption and continued success of its Technology Subscription License (TSL) model, which shifts revenue recognition over the term of the license.

What is the status of the proposed acquisition of Avant! Corporation?

Synopsys entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Avant! Corporation on December 3, 2001. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including stockholder approvals and regulatory compliance. Synopsys will account for the merger under the purchase method of accounting.

How did the semiconductor market weakness impact Synopsys' performance?

The weakness in the semiconductor and electronics businesses, which experienced significant declines in 2001 and continued into 2002, impacted Synopsys. This led to cancelled or deferred design projects by customers, reduced design engineering staff, and consequently affected Synopsys' orders and revenues, particularly in its professional services segment. Cost-cutting efforts by customers also led to rescheduling or cancellation of consulting projects and a decrease in maintenance renewals.

What is the outlook for Synopsys' revenue in the second quarter and full fiscal year 2002?

For the second quarter and full fiscal year 2002, Synopsys expects revenue to be comprised of 25% to 30% product revenue, 35% to 40% TSLs, and 32% to 37% services revenue, excluding the impact of the proposed Avant! merger. However, due to global economic uncertainties, the company is unable to predict full-year revenue with certainty.
