SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $1.599 billion, compared to $1.284 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Revenue for fiscal year 2023 was $5.843 billion, an increase of approximately 15% from $5.082 billion in fiscal year 2022.

“In our 37 years as a company, Synopsys has driven a roughly 10 million-fold increase in chip design productivity. This not only enabled the exponential ambition of the semiconductor industry, it, in turn, radically impacted the world,” said Aart de Geus, chair and CEO of Synopsys. “Our momentum continued in 2023 as we substantially expanded our AI-driven design differentiation, our semiconductor IP portfolio, and our multi-die system solutions. We also visibly strengthened our customers’ differentiation through unique and deep collaborations. Looking ahead, I have great confidence, expectations, and enthusiasm for our future as Sassine Ghazi becomes Synopsys’ CEO.” 

“Despite global macroeconomic uncertainty, 2023 was a year of record revenue and profitability for Synopsys as silicon R&D and design-starts remain robust. I want to extend my deepest thanks to our team for their stellar execution and to our partners and customers for their commitment,” said Sassine Ghazi, president and COO of Synopsys. “We start 2024 with tremendous forward momentum driven by a resilient business model, technology trends – chief among them AI – that create a rising tide for our business, and customers who continue to prioritize investments in the chips and systems that position them for the future. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to propel Synopsys to the next wave of growth as its CEO.”

“We had strong execution and outperformed our guidance in the fourth quarter, which capped a record financial year for Synopsys. In 2023, on a non-GAAP basis, record earnings per share were up 26% year-over-year, we achieved record operating margins, and expanded our backlog to $8.6 billion,” said Synopsys CFO, Shelagh Glaser. “We are confident in our outlook for continued, double-digit revenue growth in the year ahead based on our technology leadership, strong customer momentum and the resiliency of our time-based business model.”

GAAP Results
On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $349.2 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, compared to $153.5 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. GAAP net income for fiscal year 2023 was $1.230 billion, or $7.92 per diluted share, compared to $984.6 million, or $6.29 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2022.

Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $490.9 million, or $3.17 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $297.7 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2023 was $1.737 billion, or $11.19 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.393 billion, or $8.90 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2022.

For a reconciliation of net income, earnings per diluted share and other measures on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, see “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” in the accompanying tables below.

For a reconciliation of Synopsys’ first quarter and fiscal year 2024 targets, including expenses, earnings per diluted share and other measures on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, see “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” in the accompanying tables below. 

Earnings Call Open to Investors

Effectiveness of Information
The targets included in this press release, the statements made during the earnings conference call, the information contained in the financial supplement and the corporate overview presentation, each of which are available on Synopsys’ corporate website at www.synopsys.com (collectively, the “Earnings Materials“), represent Synopsys’ expectations and beliefs as of November 29, 2023. Although these Earnings Materials will remain available on Synopsys’ website through the date of the earnings call for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, their continued availability through such date does not mean that Synopsys is reaffirming or confirming their continued validity. Synopsys undertakes no duty and does not intend to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information or future events, or otherwise update, the targets given in this press release unless required by law.

Availability of Final Financial Statements
Synopsys will include final financial statements for the fiscal year 2023 in its annual report on Form 10-K to be filed on or before December 27, 2023.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Synopsys continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but acknowledges evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Synopsys presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Synopsys’ operating results in a manner that focuses on what Synopsys believes to be its core business operations and what Synopsys uses to evaluate its business operations and for internal budgeting and resource allocation purposes. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Synopsys’ management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, as superior to, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Synopsys’ management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP financial measures that include: (i) the amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of stock compensation, (iii) acquisition-related items, (iv) restructuring charges, (v) the effects of certain settlements, final judgments and loss contingencies related to legal proceedings, and (vi) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments, in each case as described further in Item 2.02 of Synopsys’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 29, 2023. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude such information help facilitate internal comparisons to Synopsys’ historical operating results and forecasted targets, planning and forecasting in subsequent periods and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.

Synopsys utilizes an annual non-GAAP tax rate in calculating non-GAAP financial measures to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods by eliminating the effects of certain non-recurring and other period-specific items, which can vary in size and frequency and do not necessarily reflect Synopsys’ normal operations, and to more closely align its tax rate with its expected geographic earnings mix. This annual non-GAAP tax rate is based on an evaluation of Synopsys’ historical and projected mix of U.S. and international profit before tax, taking into account the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, U.S. tax law changes, as well as other factors such as our current tax structure, existing tax positions and expected recurring tax incentives. Based on these considerations, Synopsys has elected to adopt a non-GAAP tax rate of 15% for fiscal year 2024.

When possible, Synopsys provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely applicable GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed below, as well as Item 2.02 of Synopsys’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 29, 2023, for additional information about the measures Synopsys uses to evaluate its core business operations. Synopsys is unable to provide a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis because doing so would not be possible without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, the potential variability and limited visibility of the excluded items. For the same reasons, Synopsys is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

(1) Synopsys manages the business on a long-term, annual basis, and considers quarterly fluctuations of revenue and profitability as normal elements of our
business. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

(2) Synopsys’ fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 and 2022 ended on October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022, respectively. For presentation purposes, we refer to
the closest calendar month end.

(3) These segments results are consistent with the information required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Synopsys’ chief operating decision maker (CODM) is
our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM does not allocate certain operating expenses managed at a consolidated level to our reportable segments and, as a result,
the reported operating income and operating margin do not include these unallocated expenses as shown in the table above.

(4) The adjustment includes non-GAAP expenses attributable to non-controlling interest and redeemable non-controlling interest.

(5) The adjustment excludes the gains from the mark-up of a cost method investment to fair value upon obtaining control through the acquisition recorded in other
income (expense).
