Cadence reported first quarter 2009 revenue of $206 million, compared to revenue of $271 million reported for the same period in 2008. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized a net loss of $63 million, or $(0.25) per share on a diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss of $33 million, or $(0.13) per share on a diluted basis in the same period in 2008.
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 or net loss, which excludes, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, in-process research and development charges, costs related to Cadence's withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares, integration and acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance costs, restructuring charges and credits, amortization of discount on convertible notes, equity in losses (income) from investments, write-down of investments, impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets, and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary. Non-GAAP net income or net loss 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 loss in the first quarter of 2009 was $25 million, or $(0.10) per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.00) per share on a diluted basis, in the same period in 2008.
"2009 is a year for Cadence to focus on execution, improve our productivity and invest in our core business," said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. "We will continue to bring to market the innovative, advanced solutions our customers have come to rely on in their design production. For example, customers using the new Virtuoso 6.1 platform report seeing a 25% to 40% improvement in productivity, and as a result, proliferation of the new platform at our top customers has nearly doubled compared to the first quarter a year ago."
"We continued to progress toward our goal of a 90/10 model, with a ratable mix above 85% in the first quarter," added Kevin S. Palatnik, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Revenue for the first quarter of 2009 met expectations, while non-GAAP net loss per share came in better than forecast."
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

Adoption of FASB Staff Position APB 14-1
During the first quarter of 2009, Cadence adopted FASB Staff Position APB, 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)." Accordingly, Cadence has adjusted the applicable prior period balance sheets and statements of operations to reflect the adjusted balance of the convertible notes and related items, and to record the amortization of the discount on the convertible notes as non-cash interest expense. A reconciliation of Cadence's as-adjusted Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 3, 2009 and its as-adjusted Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 29, 2008 to their respective statements as initially reported is included with this release.
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 or net loss, 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, costs related to
Cadence's withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and
losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares, integration and
acquisition-related costs, gains or losses and expenses or credits related
to non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, executive severance
costs, restructuring charges and credits, amortization of discount on
convertible notes, equity in losses (income) from investments, write-down
of investments, impairment charges related to goodwill, intangible assets
and fixed assets, and losses related to the liquidation of a subsidiary.
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 or
net loss 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.
