In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating Cadence's business, management believes it is useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income, which excludes, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, in-process research and development charges, certain termination and legal costs, integration and acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance payments, restructuring charges and credits, losses on extinguishment of debt and equity in losses (income) from investments. Non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability. See "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" below for further information on the non-GAAP measure.
Using this non-GAAP measure, net income in the second quarter of 2008 was $38 million, or $0.14 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to $91 million, or $0.30 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period in 2007.
"Although we achieved our Q2 numbers, it was more difficult than we planned. Customers are demanding still more flexibility in when, what and how they purchase software and hardware," said Mike Fister, chief executive officer. "As a result we've made the decision to lower our outlook and transition to an approximately ninety-percent ratable license mix. We believe this transition will enable us to keep our focus on the value of our technology. This decision is the right one for our business over the long term and for building and sustaining strong customer relationships into the future."
Kevin Palatnik, chief financial officer added, "A key metric for us, particularly as we move through this transition, is cash flow from operations. We are projecting cash flow from operations of $175 million in 2008, and $250 million in 2009."
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the impact of any mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations completed after June 28, 2008.

GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation
Cadence management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various operating measures. These measures are generally based on the revenues of its product, maintenance and services business operations and certain costs of those operations, such as cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. One such measure is non-GAAP net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is GAAP net income or net loss excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, in-process research and development charges, certain termination and legal costs, integration and acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance payments, restructuring charges and credits (primarily related to excess facilities), losses on extinguishment of debt and equity in losses (income) from investments. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased or licensed technology, backlog, patents, trademarks, distribution rights, customer contracts and related relationships and non-compete agreements. Non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability.
Cadence's management believes it is useful in measuring Cadence's operations to exclude amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges and integration and acquisition-related costs because these costs are primarily fixed at the time of an acquisition and generally cannot be changed by Cadence's management in the short term. In addition, Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense because it enhances investors' ability to review Cadence's business from the same perspective as Cadence's management, which believes that stock-based compensation expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company's business operations. Cadence's management also believes that it is useful to exclude restructuring charges and credits. Cadence has dramatically reduced the size of its design services business and portions of its product and maintenance businesses over the past several years. Cadence's management believes that in measuring the company's operations, it is useful to exclude any such restructuring charges and credits because the level of restructuring activities has significantly decreased. Cadence's management also believes it is useful to exclude executive severance costs and certain termination and legal costs as these costs do not occur frequently. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude gains or losses and expenses or credits related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets as these gains and expenses are not part of Cadence's direct costs of operations, but reflect changes in the value of assets held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Finally, Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the equity in losses (income) from investments, as these items are not part of Cadence's direct cost of operations. Rather, these are non-operating items that are included in other income (expense) and are part of the company's investment activities.
Cadence's management believes that non-GAAP net income provides useful supplemental information to Cadence's management and investors regarding the performance of the company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to the company's historical operating results. Cadence's management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. 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 and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results.
The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP net income in the calculation of non-GAAP net income for the periods shown below:
Net Income Reconciliation Quarters Ended ---------------------------- June 28, 2008 June 30, 2007 ------------- ------------- (unaudited) (in thousands) Net income on a GAAP basis $ 4,996 $ 59,596 Amortization of acquired intangibles 11,630 10,858 Stock-based compensation expense 21,454 27,027 Non-qualified deferred compensation expenses (credits) (3,050) 994 Restructuring and other charges (credits) (355) (1,573) Integration and acquisition-related costs 256 331 Equity in losses from investments, gains and losses on non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets - recorded in Other income (expense), net 6,676 750 Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments (3,595) (6,775) ------------- ------------- Net income on a non-GAAP basis $ 38,012 $ 91,208 ============= ============= Diluted Net Income per Share Reconciliation Quarters Ended ---------------------------- June 28, 2008 June 30, 2007 ------------- ------------- (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share data) Diluted net income per share on a GAAP basis $ 0.02 $ 0.20 Amortization of acquired intangibles 0.04 0.04 Stock-based compensation expense 0.08 0.09 Non-qualified deferred compensation expenses (credits) (0.01) - Restructuring and other charges (credits) - (0.01) Integration and acquisition-related costs - - Equity in losses from investments, gains and losses on non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets - recorded in Other income (expense), net 0.02 - Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments (0.01) (0.02) ------------- ------------- Diluted net income per share on a non-GAAP basis $ 0.14 $ 0.30 ============= ============= Shares used in calculation of diluted net income per share - GAAP 269,060 302,746 Shares used in calculation of diluted net income per share - non-GAAP (A) 269,060 302,746 (A) Shares used in the calculation of GAAP net income or net loss per share are expected to be the same as shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP net income per share, except when the company reports a GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net income, or GAAP net income and a non-GAAP net loss.
Investors are encouraged to look at the GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance. For example, amortization of intangibles or in-process technology are important to consider because they may represent initial expenditures that under GAAP are reported across future fiscal periods. Likewise, stock-based compensation expense is an obligation of the company that should be considered. Restructuring charges can be triggered by acquisitions or product adjustments, as well as overall company performance within a given business environment. Losses on extinguishment of debt can be incurred on remaining convertible notes. All of these metrics are important to financial performance generally.
Although Cadence's management finds the non-GAAP measure useful in evaluating the performance of Cadence's business, reliance on this measure is limited because items excluded from such measures often have a material effect on Cadence's earnings and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, Cadence's management typically uses the non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, in conjunction with the GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, to address these limitations.
Cadence's management believes that presenting the non-GAAP measure of earnings and earnings per share provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the performance of the company's business, which Cadence's management uses in its own evaluation of performance, and an additional baseline for assessing the future earnings potential of the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, Cadence's management prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental measure since it may provide additional insights into the company's financial results.
Cadence expects that its corporate representatives will meet privately during the quarter with investors, the media, investment analysts and others. At these meetings, Cadence may reiterate the business outlook published in this press release. At the same time, Cadence will keep this press release, including the business outlook, publicly available on its Web site.
Prior to the start of the Quiet Period (described below), the public may continue to rely on the business outlook contained herein as still being Cadence's current expectations on matters covered unless Cadence publishes a notice stating otherwise.
Beginning Sept. 12, 2008, Cadence will observe a Quiet Period during which the business outlook as provided in this press release and the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q no longer constitute the company's current expectations. During the Quiet Period, the business outlook in these documents should be considered to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to any update by the company. During the Quiet Period, Cadence's representatives will not comment on Cadence's business outlook, financial results or expectations. The Quiet Period will extend until the day when Cadence's Third Quarter 2008 Earnings Release is published, which is currently scheduled for Oct. 22, 2008.
