Cadence Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Exceeded Q1 Guidance for All Key Metrics
Q1 Revenue Up 23% & Non-GAAP EPS Up 34% YoY
Raising 2025 Revenue and EPS Outlook

SAN JOSE, Calif. — April 28, 2025 — Cadence (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced results for the first quarter of 2025.
First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
•Revenue of $1.242 billion, compared to revenue of $1.009 billion in Q1 2024
•GAAP operating margin of 29.1%, compared to 24.8% in Q1 2024
•Non-GAAP operating margin of 41.7%, compared to 37.8% in Q1 2024
•GAAP diluted net income per share of $1.00, compared to $0.91 in Q1 2024
•Non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $1.57, compared to $1.17 in Q1 2024
•Quarter-end backlog was $6.4 billion and current remaining performance obligations ("cRPO"), contract revenue expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $3.2 billion

“Cadence delivered excellent results for the first quarter of 2025 with robust ongoing customer demand for our innovative technologies driving 23% revenue growth and 34% non-GAAP EPS growth year-over-year,” said Anirudh Devgan, president and chief executive officer. “We haven't seen any change in customers' behavior at this time, as they continue investing in R&D for their next-gen designs. Our resilient software business model, strong backlog, and AI-driven product innovations, position us well in navigating today's dynamic macro environment.”

“Q1 was a strong quarter for Cadence, driven by broad-based strength across all our businesses,” said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “I am pleased that we exceeded all key financial metrics for the quarter, and we are tracking ahead of our original forecast for 2025, allowing us to raise our full year outlook.”

CFO Commentary
Commentary on the first quarter of 2025 financial results by John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer, is available at www.cadence.com/cadence/investor_relations.
Business Outlook
For fiscal year 2025, the company expects:
•Revenue in the range of $5.15 billion to $5.23 billion
•GAAP operating margin in the range of 30.25% to 31.25%
•Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 43.25% to 44.25%
•GAAP diluted net income per share in the range of $4.21 to $4.31
•Non-GAAP diluted net income per share in the range of $6.73 to $6.83
The company utilizes a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate, which reflects currently available information, as well as other factors and assumptions. The non-GAAP tax rate is subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in the company’s geographic earnings mix, or other changes to the company’s strategy or business operations. The company expects to use the current normalized non-GAAP tax rate through fiscal 2025 but will re-evaluate this rate periodically for significant items that may materially affect its projections.
Reconciliations of the financial results and business outlook from GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income and GAAP diluted net income per share to non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, respectively, are included in this press release.







Business Highlights
•Semiconductor IP revenue grew 40% year-over-year in Q1 as it continued to benefit from market opportunities offered by AI, chiplet-based architectures, and foundry ecosystem buildout.
•Core EDA revenue grew 16% year-over-year in Q1. AI-driven Cadence Cerebrus continued its strong momentum with nearly 50 new logos in Q1 and more than 1,000 tapeouts to date. Cadence hardware products expanded their footprint with existing customers, especially top hyperscalers, while gaining notable competitive wins.
•At the GPU Technology Conference (GTC), Cadence announced an expanded partnership with NVIDIA on its latest Grace Blackwell architecture and a collaboration on developing full-stack agentic AI solutions using the new Llama Nemotron Reasoning Model.
•System Design and Analysis delivered over 50% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1, as Cadence’s AI-driven design optimization platforms integrated with its physics-based simulation solutions continued delivering superior results across multiple end-markets.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP results. Investors are also encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance.

To supplement Cadence’s financial results presented on a GAAP basis, Cadence management uses non-GAAP measures that it believes are helpful in understanding Cadence’s performance. One such measure is non-GAAP net income, which is a financial measure not calculated under GAAP. Non-GAAP net income is calculated by Cadence management by taking GAAP net income and excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration-related costs including retention expenses, income or expenses related to investments, divestitures and Cadence’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, restructuring and other significant items not directly related to Cadence’s core business operations, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments.

Cadence management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of Cadence’s core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence management and investors regarding the performance of the business operations, facilitates comparisons to the historical operating results and allows the review of Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence management, including forecasting and budgeting.
The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the periods shown below:

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this CFO Commentary with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results. Investors are also encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance. See our earnings press release issued today for further discussion of our non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation provided in the Appendix to this CFO Commentary.

Cadence’s management uses non-GAAP net income because it excludes items that are generally not directly related to the performance of the company’s core business operations and therefore provides supplemental information to Cadence’s management and investors regarding the performance of the business operations, facilitates comparisons to the historical operating results and allows the review of Cadence’s business from the same perspective as Cadence’s management, including forecasting and budgeting.
