Cadence reported first quarter 2021 revenue of $736 million, compared to revenue of $618 million for the same period in 2020. On a GAAP basis, Cadence achieved operating margin of 28 percent and recognized net income of $187 million, or $0.67 per share on a diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to operating margin of 23 percent and net income of $124 million, or $0.44 per share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2020.

Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, operating margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 38 percent and net income was $231 million, or $0.83 per share on a diluted basis, compared to operating margin of 32 percent and net income of $166 million, or $0.60 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2020.

"Cadence delivered excellent financial results for the first quarter driven by strong execution and ongoing momentum in our core business and accelerating growth in our systems businesses," said Lip-Bu Tan, chief executive officer. "Innovation is foundational to our Intelligent System Design strategy and since the start of 2021 we introduced several exciting new products, including the Palladium Z2 emulation platform, Protium X2 prototyping platform and next-generation Sigrity X for systems analysis. We broadened our systems analysis portfolio with the successful completion of the NUMECA and Pointwise acquisitions, enabling us to provide more capabilities and value to our customers while increasing our TAM."

"I am pleased to report that we exceeded all of our key operating metrics for the quarter," said John Wall, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "We are raising our outlook for revenue, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP earnings for the year while we continue to invest in our expanding multiphysics platform."

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 financial measures contained within this press release 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.

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, investment gains or losses, income or expenses related to Cadence's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, restructuring, executive severance 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:
