SYNOPSYS INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Jan 31, 2026

Filed February 25, 2026For Securities:SNPS

Summary

Synopsys, Inc. (SNPS) reported significant revenue growth of 66% to $2.4 billion for the quarter ended January 31, 2026, largely driven by the acquisition of Ansys, which contributed $885.6 million in revenue. While the Design Automation segment showed overall strength, the Design IP segment experienced weakness, prompting resource reallocation to higher-growth areas. The company's financial position remains solid, with $2.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. However, the company incurred substantial restructuring charges of $118.3 million related to a new restructuring plan, and experienced a significant increase in interest expense due to recent debt issuances to fund the Ansys acquisition. Despite robust revenue growth, net income attributed to Synopsys decreased to $65.0 million from $295.7 million in the prior year's comparable quarter. This decline is primarily due to increased costs, including a substantial $242.1 million increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets stemming from the Ansys merger, along with higher employee-related costs and restructuring charges. The company is actively managing its resources and operations in light of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical factors, particularly in China.
