General | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and reflect all material normal recurring adjustments. However, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. | |
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. | |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU requires revenue to be recognized to reflect the consideration an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers in the appropriate period. This ASU also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are required. We will be required to implement this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, using one of two prescribed retrospective methods. No early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements. |

The Financial Accounting Standards Board's authoritative guidance for the hierarchy of valuation techniques is based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: | ||||||||||||||||
•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; | ||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and | |||||||||||||||
•Level 3—One or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. | ||||||||||||||||
We based the fair value of bank certificates of deposit included in short-term investments on quoted market prices for similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2). | ||||||||||||||||
In connection with certain acquisitions, payment of a portion of the purchase price is contingent typically upon the acquired business’ achievement of certain revenue goals. As of April 30, 2014, of the total recorded balance, $1,815 was included in accrued and other liabilities and $1,362 was included in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of January 31, 2014, of the total recorded balance, $1,565 was included in accrued and other liabilities and $3,006 was included in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. | ||||||||||||||||
We have estimated the fair value of our contingent consideration as the present value of the expected payments over the term of the arrangements. The fair value measurement of our contingent consideration as of April 30, 2014 encompasses the following significant unobservable inputs: | ||||||||||||||||
Unobservable Inputs | Range | |||||||||||||||
Total estimated contingent consideration | $0 | - | $3,948 | |||||||||||||
Discount rate | 9.50% | - | 16.00% | |||||||||||||
Timing of cash flows (in years) | 0 | - | 4 | |||||||||||||
Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration are primarily driven by changes in the estimated amount and timing of payments, resulting from changes in the forecasted revenues of the acquired businesses. Significant changes in any of the inputs in isolation could result in a fluctuation in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration. Changes in fair value are recognized in special charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income in the period in which the change is identified. | ||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes contingent consideration activity: | ||||||||||||||||
Balance as of January 31, 2014 | $ | 4,571 | ||||||||||||||

Carrying value of notes payable | $ | 225,755 | $ | 224,261 | ||||||||||||
We based the fair value of notes payable on the quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price for our notes is derived from observable inputs including our stock price, stock volatility, and interest rate (Level 2). Of the total carrying value of notes payable, none was classified as current on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net, term receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments or because amounts have been appropriately discounted. |

For each business we acquire, the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired and net tangible liabilities assumed is allocated to various identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets typically consist of purchased technology and customer-related intangibles, which are amortized to expense over their useful lives. Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets, is not amortized. | ||||||||||||||||

On March 20, 2014, we acquired for cash all of the outstanding common shares of Berkeley Design Automation, Inc. (BDA), a leader in nanometer analog, mixed signal, and radio frequency circuit verification. The acquisition of BDA aligns with Mentor's goal to deliver technologies with superior performance and automation for the growing challenges of Analog/Mixed-Signal verification. The total cash consideration consisted of $46,832 paid during the quarter ended April 30, 2014 and a deferred payment valued at $4,471. | ||||||||||||||||
The identified intangible assets acquired consisted of purchase technology with a fair value of $11,200 and other intangibles with a fair value of $13,570. The fair values of the identified intangible assets were valued using an income approach with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The significant unobservable inputs include annual revenue derived from each identified intangible asset and a selected discount rate of 15%. We are amortizing purchased technology to cost of revenues over five years and other intangibles to operating expenses over two to five years. The goodwill created by the transaction is not deductible for tax purposes. Key factors that make up the goodwill created by the transaction include expected synergies from the combination of operations and products and the knowledge and experience of the acquired workforce. | ||||||||||||||||
The separate results of operations for the acquisition during the three months ended April 30, 2014 were not material, individually or in the aggregate, compared to our overall results of operations and accordingly pro forma financial statements of the combined entities have been omitted. |

We have long-term installment receivables that are attributable to multi-year, multi-element term license sales agreements. We include balances under term agreements that are due within one year in trade accounts receivable, net and balances that are due more than one year from the balance sheet date in term receivables, long-term. We discount the total product portion of the agreements to reflect the interest component of the transaction. We amortize the interest component of the transaction, using the effective interest method, to system and software revenues over the period in which payments are made and balances are outstanding. We determine the discount rate at the outset of the arrangement based upon the current credit rating of the customer. We reset the discount rate periodically considering changes in prevailing interest rates but do not adjust previously discounted balances. | |||||||||||||||||
Term receivable and trade accounts receivable balances were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
As of | April 30, 2014 | January 31, 2014 | |||||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 146,920 | $ | 179,830 | |||||||||||||

Trade accounts receivable include billed amounts whereas term receivables, short-term are comprised of unbilled amounts. Term receivables, short-term represent the portion of long-term installment agreements that are due within one year. Billings for term agreements typically occur thirty days prior to the contractual due date, in accordance with individual contract installment terms. Term receivables, long-term represent unbilled amounts which are scheduled to be collected beyond one year. | |||||||||||||||||
We perform a credit risk assessment of all customers using the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) credit rating as our primary credit-quality indicator. The S&P credit ratings are based on the most recent S&P score available. For customers that do not have an S&P credit rating, we base our credit risk assessment on an internal credit assessment which is based on selected short-term financial ratios. Our internal credit assessment is based upon results provided in the customers’ most recent financial statements. We determine whether or not to extend credit to these customers based on the results of our internal credit assessment, thus, mitigating our risk of loss. | |||||||||||||||||

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable and term receivables, long-term for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. When we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy or deterioration in the customer’s operating results, financial position, or credit rating, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount believed to be collectible. We also record unspecified reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors including length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customers, the current business environment, and historical experience. Current economic conditions we have considered include forecasted spending in the semiconductor industry, consumer spending for electronics, integrated circuit research and development spending, and volatility in gross domestic product. If these factors change or circumstances related to specific customers change, we adjust the estimates of the recoverability of receivables resulting in either additional selling expense or a reduction in selling expense in the period the determination is made. | |||||||||||||||||
We reduced our allowance for doubtful accounts during the three months ended April 30, 2014 by $1,691. The adjustment reflects a change in estimate of our unspecified reserves resulting from sustained low write-off experience and strong collections. The adjustment was recorded in marketing and selling expense in our results of operations. | |||||||||||||||||

We enter into agreements to sell qualifying accounts receivable from time to time to certain financing institutions on a non-recourse basis. We received net proceeds from the sale of receivables of $10,043 for the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to $8,535 for the three months ended April 30, 2013. Amounts collected from customers on accounts receivable previously sold on a non-recourse basis to financial institutions are included in short-term borrowings on the balance sheet. These amounts are remitted to the financial institutions in the month following quarter-end. |

Short-Term Borrowings | ||
We have a syndicated, senior, unsecured, revolving credit facility, which expires on May 24, 2017. | ||
The revolving credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $125,000. As stated in the revolving credit facility, we have the option to pay interest based on: | ||
(i) | London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with varying maturities commensurate with the borrowing period we select, plus a spread of between 2.00% and 2.50% based on a pricing grid tied to a financial covenant, or | |
(ii) | A base rate plus a spread of between 1.00% and 1.50%, based on a pricing grid tied to a financial covenant. | |
As a result of these interest rate options, our interest expense associated with borrowings under this revolving credit facility will vary with market interest rates. In addition, commitment fees are payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at rates between 0.30% and 0.40% based on a pricing grid tied to a financial covenant. We had no borrowings against the revolving credit facility during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. | ||
This revolving credit facility contains certain financial and other covenants, including a limit on the aggregate amount we can pay for dividends and repurchases of our stock over the term of the facility of $50,000 plus 70% of our cumulative net income for the periods after January 31, 2011. | ||
We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of April 30, 2014. If we fail to comply with the financial covenants and do not obtain a waiver from our lenders, we would be in default under the revolving credit facility and our lenders could terminate the facility and demand immediate repayment of all outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility. |

4.00% Debentures due 2031 | ||||||||
In April 2011, we issued $253,000 of 4.00% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (4.00% Debentures) due 2031 in a private placement pursuant to the SEC Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Interest on the 4.00% Debentures is payable semi-annually in April and October. | ||||||||
As of April 30, 2014, each one thousand dollars in principal amount of the 4.00% Debentures is convertible, under certain circumstances, into 49.249 shares of our common stock (equivalent to a conversion price of $20.31 per share) for a total of 12,460 shares. The circumstances for conversion include: | ||||||||
• | The market price of our common stock exceeding 120% of the conversion price, or $24.37 per share as of April 30, 2014, for at least 20 of the last 30 trading days in the previous fiscal quarter; | |||||||
• | A call for redemption of the 4.00% Debentures; | |||||||
• | Specified distributions to holders of our common stock; | |||||||
• | If a fundamental change, such as a change of control, occurs; | |||||||
• | During the two months prior to, but not on, the maturity date; or | |||||||
• | The market price of the 4.00% Debentures declining to less than 98% of the value of the common stock into which the 4.00% Debentures are convertible. | |||||||
Upon conversion of any 4.00% Debentures, a holder will receive: | ||||||||
(i) | Cash for the lesser of the principal amount of the 4.00% Debentures that are converted or the value of the converted shares; and | |||||||
(ii) | Cash or shares of common stock, at our election, for the excess, if any, of the value of the converted shares over the principal amount. | |||||||
As of April 30, 2014, the if-converted value of the 4.00% Debentures to the note holders exceeded the principal amount by $4,922. | ||||||||
If a holder elects to convert their 4.00% Debentures in connection with a fundamental change in the company that occurs prior to April 5, 2016, the holder will also be entitled to receive a make whole premium upon conversion in some circumstances. | ||||||||
As a result of declaring cash dividends during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 and the three months ended April 30, 2014, the initial conversion rate for the 4.00% Debentures of 48.6902 shares of our common stock for each one thousand dollars in principal amount of the 4.00% Debentures (equivalent to a conversion price of $20.54 per share of our common stock) has been adjusted to 49.249 shares of our common stock for each one thousand dollars in principal amount of the 4.00% Debentures (equivalent to a conversion price of $20.31 per share of our common stock). | ||||||||
We may redeem some or all of the 4.00% Debentures for cash on or after April 5, 2016 at the following redemption prices expressed as a percentage of principal, plus any accrued and unpaid interest: | ||||||||
Period | Redemption Price | |||||||
Beginning on April 5, 2016 and ending on March 31, 2017 | 101.143 | % | ||||||
Beginning on April 1, 2017 and ending on March 31, 2018 | 100.571 | % | ||||||
On April 1, 2018 and thereafter | 100 | % | ||||||
The holders, at their option, may redeem the 4.00% Debentures in whole or in part for cash on April 1, 2018, April 1, 2021, and April 1, 2026, and in the event of a fundamental change in the company. In each case, our repurchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the 4.00% Debentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest. | ||||||||
The 4.00% Debentures contain a conversion feature that the debt may be settled in cash upon conversion, therefore we separately account for the implied liability and equity components of the 4.00% Debentures. The principal amount, unamortized debt discount, net carrying amount of the liability component, and carrying amount of the equity component of the 4.00% Debentures are as follows: | ||||||||
As of | April 30, 2014 | January 31, 2014 | ||||||
Principal amount | $ | 253,000 | $ | 253,000 | ||||
Unamortized debt discount | (27,245 | ) | (28,739 | ) | ||||
Net carrying amount of the liability component | $ | 225,755 | $ | 224,261 | ||||
Equity component | $ | 43,930 | $ | 43,930 | ||||
The unamortized debt discount amortizes to interest expense using the effective interest method through March 2018. | ||||||||
We recognized the following amounts in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income related to the 4.00% Debentures: | ||||||||
Three months ended April 30, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Interest expense at the contractual interest rate | $ | 2,530 | $ | 2,530 | ||||
Amortization of debt discount | $ | 1,494 | $ | 1,391 | ||||
The effective interest rate on the 4.00% Debentures was 7.25% for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. |

Indemnifications | |
Our license and services agreements generally include a limited indemnification provision for claims from third parties relating to our intellectual property. The indemnification is generally limited to the amount paid by the customer, a multiple of the amount paid by the customer, or a set cap. As of April 30, 2014, we were not aware of any material liabilities arising from these indemnification obligations. | |
Legal Proceedings | |
From time to time, we are involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. These include disputes and lawsuits relating to intellectual property rights, contracts, distributorships, and employee relations matters. Periodically, we review the status of various disputes and litigation matters and assess our potential exposure. When we consider the potential loss from any dispute or legal matter probable and the amount or the range of loss can be estimated, we will accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, we base accruals on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation matters and may revise estimates. We believe that the outcome of current litigation, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our results of operations. | |
In some instances, we are unable to reasonably estimate any potential loss or range of loss. The nature and progression of litigation can make it difficult to predict the impact a particular lawsuit will have. There are many reasons that we cannot make these assessments, including, among others, one or more of the following: the early stages of a proceeding; damages sought that are unspecific, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; discovery not having been started or incomplete; the complexity of the facts that are in dispute; the difficulty of assessing novel claims; the parties not having engaged in any meaningful settlement discussions; the possibility that other parties may share in any ultimate liability; and/or the often slow pace of litigation. | |
In December 2012, Synopsys filed a lawsuit claiming patent infringement against us in federal district court in the Northern District of California, alleging that our Veloce® family of products infringes on four Synopsys United States Patents. On May 2, 2013, Synopsys also filed a claim against us in federal district court in Oregon, similarly alleging that our Veloce family of products infringes on two additional Synopsys United States Patents. These cases seek compensatory damages and a permanent injunction against the licensing of several of our software and hardware products relating to our emulation and field programmable gate arrays synthesis products. We believe these actions were filed in response to patent lawsuits we filed in 2010 and 2012 against Emulation and Verification Engineering S.A. and EVE-USA, Inc. (together EVE), which Synopsys acquired in October 2012. Our lawsuits, which allege that EVE's Zebu emulation products infringe several of our patents, were filed against EVE in federal district court in Oregon. We also filed a patent lawsuit against EVE in Tokyo district court. Our litigation in Oregon and Japan seeks compensatory damages and an injunction against the sale of EVE emulation products. We do not have sufficient information upon which to determine that a loss in connection with this matter is probable, reasonably possible or estimable, and thus no liability has been established nor has a range of loss been disclosed. |

Incentive Stock Rights | |
Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue incentive stock in one or more series and to determine the relative rights and preferences of the incentive stock. On June 24, 2010, we adopted an Incentive Stock Purchase Rights Plan and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of common stock, payable to holders of record on July 6, 2010. On December 23, 2011, our Board of Directors amended the Stock Purchase Rights Plan to, among other things, extend the expiration date of the rights and increase the exercise price of each right. On June 28, 2013, our Board of Directors amended the Stock Purchase Rights Plan to extend the expiration date of the rights, change the ownership threshold for certain types of investors, increase the exercise price of each right, and add a qualifying offer provision. As long as the rights are attached to our common stock, we will issue one right with each new share of common stock so that all such shares will have attached rights. Under certain conditions, each right may be exercised to purchase 1/10,000 of a share of Series B Junior Participating Incentive Stock at a purchase price of ninety dollars, subject to adjustment. The rights are not presently exercisable and will only become exercisable if a person or group acquires or commences a tender offer to acquire 15% (20% for certain types of "passive institutional investors") or more of our common stock. | |
If a person or group acquires 15% (20% for certain types of "passive institutional investors") or more of our common stock, each right will be adjusted to entitle its holder to receive, upon exercise, common stock (or, in certain circumstances, other assets of ours) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right, or each right will be adjusted to entitle its holder to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right, depending on the circumstances. The rights expire on June 30, 2015 and may be redeemed by us for $0.001 per right. The rights do not have voting or dividend rights and have no dilutive effect on our earnings. |

Net Income (Loss) Per Share | ||||||||
We compute basic net income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income per share using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units, exercise of stock options and ESPP purchase rights, and conversion of the 4.00% Debentures using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. | ||||||||
The following provides the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: | ||||||||

Net income (loss) attributable to Mentor Graphics shareholders | $ | (2,551 | ) | $ | 205 | |||

Weighted average common and potential common shares used to calculate diluted net income (loss) per share | 114,935 | 115,751 | ||||||
Net income (loss) per share attributable to Mentor Graphics shareholders: | ||||||||
Basic net income (loss) per share | $ | (0.02 | ) | $ | 0.01 | |||
Diluted net income (loss) per share | $ | (0.02 | ) | $ | 0.01 | |||
We excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended April 30, 2014, 3,372 shares of common stock for stock options, restricted stock units, and ESPP purchase rights compared to 1,188 shares of common stock for stock options and ESPP purchase rights for the three months ended April 30, 2013. These stock options, restricted stock units, and ESPP purchase rights were determined to be anti-dilutive either because we incurred a net loss for the period or as a result of applying the treasury stock method. | ||||||||
We have increased the numerator of our basic and diluted earnings per share calculation by $667 for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and $468 for the three months ended April 30, 2013 for the decrease of the noncontrolling interest with redemption feature to its calculated redemption value, recorded directly to retained earnings. | ||||||||
We assume that the 4.00% Debentures will be settled in common stock for purposes of calculating their dilutive effect. The assumed conversion of the 4.00% Debentures was anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share. | ||||||||
The conversion feature of the 4.00% Debentures, which allow for settlement in cash or a combination of cash and common stock, are further described in Note 7. “Notes Payable.” |

Litigation costs consist of professional service fees for services rendered, related to patent litigation involving us, EVE, and Synopsys regarding emulation technology. | ||||||||||||||||||
Employee severance and related costs include severance benefits, notice pay, and outplacement services.

Approximately 41% of the employee severance and related costs for the three months ended April 30, 2014 were paid during the period. We expect to pay the remainder during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015.

Income Taxes | ||||||||
The provision for income taxes was comprised of the following: | ||||||||
Three months ended April 30, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Income tax expense (benefit) | $ | (174 | ) | $ | 568 | |||
Effective tax rate | 5.4 | % | 381 | % | ||||
Generally, the provision for income taxes is the result of the mix of profits and losses earned in various tax jurisdictions with a broad range of income tax rates, withholding taxes (primarily in certain foreign jurisdictions), changes in tax reserves, and the application of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Accounting guidance requires for interim reporting that we evaluate our provision for income tax expense (benefit) based on our projected results of operations for the full year, and record adjustments in each quarter. Such adjustments consider period specific items and a separate determination of tax expense for entities in our consolidated group that are projected to have losses for which no tax benefit will be recognized. | ||||||||
Our effective tax rate is 5.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2014, after the inclusion of $10 in net unfavorable period specific items. | ||||||||
For our full year forecast, we have projected an 11% effective tax rate. This rate is inclusive of period specific items recognized through April 30, 2014. Our projected rate for the full year differs from tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to: | ||||||||
•The benefit of lower tax rates on earnings of foreign subsidiaries; and | ||||||||
•Forecasted utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards for which no previous benefit was recognized. | ||||||||
These differences are partially offset by: | ||||||||
•Repatriation of foreign subsidiary earnings to the U.S.; | ||||||||
•Non-deductible equity compensation expense; and | ||||||||
•Withholding taxes. | ||||||||
Actual results may differ significantly from our current projections. Further, our effective tax rate could fluctuate considerably on a quarterly basis, and could be significantly affected to the extent our actual mix of earnings among individual jurisdictions is different than our expectations. | ||||||||
We determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. In addition, we record deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We calculate the deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Since 2004, we have determined it is uncertain whether our U.S. entity will generate sufficient taxable income and foreign source income to utilize net operating loss carryforwards, research and experimentation credit carryforwards, and foreign tax credit carryforwards before expiration. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets for which realization does not meet the more likely than not standard. We have established valuation allowances related to certain foreign deferred tax assets based on historical losses as well as future expectations in certain jurisdictions. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a periodic basis. | ||||||||
As of April 30, 2014, we had a liability of $21,047 for income taxes associated with uncertain income tax positions. Of this liability, $372 was classified as short-term liabilities in income taxes payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as we generally anticipate the settlement of such liabilities will require payment of cash within the next twelve months. The remaining $20,675 of income tax associated with uncertain tax positions was classified as long-term liabilities. Certain liabilities may result in the reduction of deferred tax assets rather than settlement in cash. We are not able to reasonably estimate the timing of any cash payments required to settle the long-term liabilities and do not believe that the ultimate settlement of these liabilities will materially affect our liquidity. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ' | |
Fair value of financial instruments | ' | |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's authoritative guidance for the hierarchy of valuation techniques is based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: | ||
•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; | ||
• | Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and | |
•Level 3—One or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. | ||
Short-term investments fair value determination | ' | |
We based the fair value of bank certificates of deposit included in short-term investments on quoted market prices for similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2). | ||
Contingent consideration | ' | |
We have estimated the fair value of our contingent consideration as the present value of the expected payments over the term of the arrangements. | ||
Notes payable fair value determination | ' | |
We based the fair value of notes payable on the quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price for our notes is derived from observable inputs including our stock price, stock volatility, and interest rate (Level 2). |

Term Receivables and Trade Accounts Receivable [Abstract] | ' |
Receivables policy | ' |
We include balances under term agreements that are due within one year in trade accounts receivable, net and balances that are due more than one year from the balance sheet date in term receivables, long-term. We discount the total product portion of the agreements to reflect the interest component of the transaction. We amortize the interest component of the transaction, using the effective interest method, to system and software revenues over the period in which payments are made and balances are outstanding. We determine the discount rate at the outset of the arrangement based upon the current credit rating of the customer. We reset the discount rate periodically considering changes in prevailing interest rates but do not adjust previously discounted balances. | |
Trade and unbilled receivables | ' |
Trade accounts receivable include billed amounts whereas term receivables, short-term are comprised of unbilled amounts. Term receivables, short-term represent the portion of long-term installment agreements that are due within one year. Billings for term agreements typically occur thirty days prior to the contractual due date, in accordance with individual contract installment terms. Term receivables, long-term represent unbilled amounts which are scheduled to be collected beyond one year. | |
Financing receivable credit quality determination | ' |
We perform a credit risk assessment of all customers using the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) credit rating as our primary credit-quality indicator. The S&P credit ratings are based on the most recent S&P score available. For customers that do not have an S&P credit rating, we base our credit risk assessment on an internal credit assessment which is based on selected short-term financial ratios. Our internal credit assessment is based upon results provided in the customers’ most recent financial statements. We determine whether or not to extend credit to these customers based on the results of our internal credit assessment, thus, mitigating our risk of loss. | |
Allowance for doubtful accounts | ' |
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable and term receivables, long-term for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. When we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy or deterioration in the customer’s operating results, financial position, or credit rating, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount believed to be collectible. We also record unspecified reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors including length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customers, the current business environment, and historical experience. Current economic conditions we have considered include forecasted spending in the semiconductor industry, consumer spending for electronics, integrated circuit research and development spending, and volatility in gross domestic product. If these factors change or circumstances related to specific customers change, we adjust the estimates of the recoverability of receivables resulting in either additional selling expense or a reduction in selling expense in the period the determination is made. |

Commitments and contingencies policy | ' |
When we consider the potential loss from any dispute or legal matter probable and the amount or the range of loss can be estimated, we will accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, we base accruals on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation matters and may revise estimates. |

Costs associated with employee severance and related costs | ' |
Employee severance and related costs include severance benefits, notice pay, and outplacement services. These rebalance charges generally represent the aggregate of numerous unrelated rebalance plans which impact several employee groups, none of which is individually material to our financial position or results of operations. We determine termination benefit amounts based on employee status, years of service, and local statutory requirements. We communicate termination benefits to the affected employees prior to the end of the quarter in which we record the charge. |
