Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ||||||||||||
The 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. | ||||||||||||
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other similar relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as special purpose entities. In the ordinary course of business, we lease certain real properties, primarily field sales offices, research and development facilities, and equipment, as described in Note 9. “Commitments and Contingencies.” | ||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | ||||||||||||
Local currencies are the functional currencies for our foreign subsidiaries except for certain subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Egypt, and the Netherlands Antilles where the United States (U.S.) dollar is used as the functional currency. We translate assets and liabilities of foreign operations, excluding certain subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Egypt, and the Netherlands Antilles to U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange and revenues and expenses using weighted average rates. We include foreign currency translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. We maintain the accounting records for certain subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Egypt, and the Netherlands Antilles in the U.S. dollar and accordingly no translation is necessary. We include foreign currency transaction gains and losses as a component of other income (expense), net. | ||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | ||||||||||||
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include valuation of accounts receivable, revenue recognition, business combinations, income taxes, goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets, special charges, and stock-based compensation. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. | ||||||||||||
Investments | ||||||||||||
We classify investments with original maturities of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. Short-term investments include certificates of deposit with original maturities in excess of 90 days and less than one year at the time of purchase. | ||||||||||||
Long-term investments, included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, include investments with maturities in excess of one year from the balance sheet date and equity securities. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase. For investments in equity securities, we use the equity method of accounting when our investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the equity method, we currently record our share of earnings or losses as a component of other income (expense), net, equal to our proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the investee. Investments in equity securities of private companies without a readily determinable fair value, where we do not exercise significant influence over the investee, are recorded using the cost method of accounting, carrying the investment at historical cost. We periodically evaluate the fair value of all investments to determine if an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. | ||||||||||||
Investment in Frontline | ||||||||||||
We have a 50% interest in a joint venture, Frontline P.C.B. Solutions Limited Partnership (Frontline), a provider of engineering software solutions for the printed circuit board industry. We use the equity method of accounting for Frontline, which results in reporting our investment as one line within other assets in the consolidated balance sheet and our share of earnings as one line in the consolidated statement of income. Frontline reports on a calendar year basis. As such, we record our interest in the earnings of Frontline on a one-month lag. | ||||||||||||
Although we do not exert control, we actively participate in regular and periodic activities with respect to Frontline such as budgeting, business planning, marketing, and direction of research and development projects. Accordingly, we have included our interest in the earnings of Frontline as a component of operating income. | ||||||||||||
Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net | ||||||||||||
We state property, plant, and equipment at cost and capitalize expenditures for additions to property, plant, and equipment. We expense maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective asset as incurred. We compute depreciation on a straight-line basis as follows: | ||||||||||||

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | ||||||||||||
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and other intangible assets acquired in our business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of our reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount. We operate as a single reporting unit for purposes of goodwill evaluation. We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of January 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, we estimated the fair value of our reporting unit using its market capitalization as the best evidence of fair value and compared that fair value to the carrying value of our reporting unit. Our reporting unit passed this step of the goodwill analysis. There were no indicators of impairment to goodwill during fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013 and accordingly, no impairment charges were recognized during these fiscal periods. | ||||||||||||
Intangible assets, net primarily includes purchased technology, in-process research and development, backlog, tradenames, and customer relationships acquired in our business combinations. We review long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying values of the asset groups are greater than the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset group. If we determine the assets are impaired, we write down the assets to their estimated fair value. We determine fair value based on forecasted discounted net cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets. In the event we determine our long-lived assets are impaired, we would make an adjustment resulting in a charge for the write-down in the period that the determination was made. There were no indicators of impairment to long-lived assets during fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013 and accordingly, no impairment charges were recognized during these fiscal periods. | ||||||||||||
We amortize purchased technology over three to five years to system and software cost of revenues and other intangible asset costs generally over two to five years to operating expenses. We amortize capitalized in-process research and development (resulting from acquisitions) upon completion of projects to cost of revenues over the estimated useful life of the technology. Alternatively, if we abandon a project, in-process research and development costs are expensed to operating expense when that determination is made. | ||||||||||||

Noncontrolling Interest with Redemption Feature | ||||||||||||
As of January 31, 2015, our balance sheet includes a noncontrolling interest resulting from a business combination in which we acquired majority ownership in a privately-held company. In conjunction with this business combination, we also entered into an agreement which provides us a call option to acquire the noncontrolling interest, and the noncontrolling interest holders a put option to sell their interests to us for prices based on formulas defined in the agreement. The noncontrolling interest adjusted for this redemption feature based on the put option price formula, is presented on the consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Noncontrolling interest with redemption feature.” Because the redemption of the noncontrolling interest is outside of our control, we have presented this interest outside of stockholders’ equity. | ||||||||||||
The noncontrolling interest with redemption feature is recognized at the greater of: | ||||||||||||
i. The calculated redemption feature put value as of the balance sheet date; or | ||||||||||||
ii. The initial noncontrolling interest value adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holders' share of: | ||||||||||||
a. cumulative impact of net income (loss); and | ||||||||||||
b. other changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. | ||||||||||||
Increases (or decreases to the extent they offset previous increases) in the calculated redemption feature put value are recorded directly to retained earnings as if the balance sheet date were also the redemption date. Changes in the redemption feature put value also result in an adjustment to net income attributable to shareholders in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share. | ||||||||||||
The results of the majority-owned subsidiary are presented in our consolidated results with an adjustment reflected on the face of our statement of income and the face of our statement of comprehensive income for the noncontrolling investors' interest in the results of the subsidiary. | ||||||||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||||||
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we recognize deferred income taxes for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax balances of existing assets and liabilities. We calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted laws and tax rates that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse and be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards, and credit carryforwards if it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized. Deferred tax assets are not recorded, however, in the following circumstances: | ||||||||||||
• | A deferred tax asset is not recorded for net operating loss carryforwards created by excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options. To the extent we achieve a reduction in the amount of tax that would be payable due to the utilization of such net operating loss carryforwards or otherwise, we may increase stockholders’ equity. The historical and current deferred tax assets related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises are excluded in the presentation of our financial results. | |||||||||||
• | Deferred tax assets are not recorded to the extent they are attributed to uncertain tax positions. | |||||||||||
For deferred tax assets that cannot be recognized under the more-likely-than-not-standard, we have established a valuation allowance. In the event we determine that we are able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, we would reverse the valuation allowance associated with such deferred tax assets in the period such determination was made. Also, if we determine that we are not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we would record a valuation allowance on such net deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase in expense in the period such determination was made. | ||||||||||||
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous foreign jurisdictions, and in the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. While we believe the positions we have taken are appropriate, we have reserves for taxes to address potential exposures involving tax positions that are being challenged or that could be challenged by the tax authorities. We record a benefit on a tax position when we determine that it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained, we measure the tax position at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized when it is effectively settled. We review the tax reserves as circumstances warrant and adjust the reserves as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes. | ||||||||||||
Business Combinations | ||||||||||||
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 amortize 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, does not amortize. See additional discussion in Note 4. "Business Combinations." | ||||||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and have established a foreign currency hedging program to hedge certain foreign currency forecasted transactions and exposures from existing assets and liabilities. Our derivative instruments consist of foreign currency exchange contracts. By using derivative instruments, we subject ourselves to credit risk. If a counterparty fails to fulfill its performance obligations under a derivative contract, our credit risk will equal the fair value of the derivative instrument. Generally, when the fair value of our derivative contracts is a net asset, the counterparty owes us, thus creating a receivable risk. We minimize counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative transactions with major financial institutions and, as such, we do not expect material losses as a result of default by our counterparties. We execute foreign currency transactions in exchange-traded or over-the-counter markets for which quoted prices exist. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. | ||||||||||||
To manage the foreign currency volatility, we aggregate exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. The primary exposures are the Japanese yen, where we are in a long position, and the euro and the British pound, where we are in a short position. Most large European revenue contracts are denominated and paid to us in U.S. dollars while our European expenses, including substantial research and development operations, are paid in local currencies causing a short position in the euro and the British pound. In addition, we experience greater inflows than outflows of Japanese yen as almost all Japanese-based customers contract and pay us in Japanese yen. While these exposures are aggregated on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets, substantial exposures remain. | ||||||||||||
To partially offset the net exposures in the euro, British pound, and the Japanese yen, we enter into foreign currency exchange contracts of less than one year which are designated as cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on Japanese yen contracts is classified as product revenue when the hedged transaction occurs while any gain or loss on euro and British pound contracts is classified as operating expense when the hedged transaction occurs. | ||||||||||||
We use an income approach to determine the fair value of our foreign currency contracts and record them at fair value utilizing observable market inputs at the measurement date. We report the fair value of derivatives in other receivables, if the balance is an asset, or accrued liabilities, if the balance is a liability, in the consolidated balance sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends upon whether it has been designated in a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. To qualify for designation in a hedging relationship, specific criteria must be met and the appropriate documentation maintained. Hedging relationships, if designated, are established pursuant to our risk management policy and are initially and regularly evaluated to determine whether they are expected to be, and have been, highly effective hedges. We formally document all relationships between foreign currency exchange contracts and hedged items as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. | ||||||||||||
All hedges designated as cash flow hedges are linked to forecasted transactions and we assess, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the foreign currency exchange contracts in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items. We report the effective portions of the net gains or losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income associated with hedges of forecasted transactions is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income in the same period the forecasted transaction occurs or the hedge is no longer effective. We expect substantially all of the hedge balance in accumulated other comprehensive income to be reclassified to the consolidated statement of income within the next twelve months. | ||||||||||||
We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to offset the earnings impact relating to the variability in exchange rates on certain short-term monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. We do not designate these foreign currency contracts as hedges. The change in fair value of these derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments is reported each period in other income (expense), net, in our consolidated statement of income. | ||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||
We report revenue in two categories based on how revenue is generated: (i) system and software and (ii) service and support. | ||||||||||||
System and software revenues – We derive system and software revenues from the sale of licenses of software products and emulation and other hardware systems, including finance fee revenues from our long-term installment receivables resulting from product sales. We primarily license our products using two different license types: | ||||||||||||
1.Term licenses – We use this license type primarily for software sales. This license type provides the customer with the right to use a fixed list of software products for a specified time period, typically three to four years, with payments spread over the license term, and does not provide the customer with the right to use the products after the end of the term. Term license arrangements may allow the customer to share products between multiple locations and remix product usage from the fixed list of products at regular intervals during the license term. We generally recognize product revenue from term license arrangements upon product delivery and start of the license term. In a term license agreement where we provide the customer with rights to unspecified or unreleased future products, we recognize revenue ratably over the license term. | ||||||||||||
2.Perpetual licenses – We use this license type for software and emulation hardware system sales. This license type provides the customer with the right to use the product in perpetuity and typically does not provide for extended payment terms. We generally recognize product revenue from perpetual license arrangements upon product delivery assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. | ||||||||||||
We include finance fee revenues from the accretion of the discount on long-term installment receivables in system and software revenues. Finance fee revenues were approximately 2.0% of total revenues for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and fiscal 2013. | ||||||||||||
Service and support revenues – We derive service and support revenues from software and hardware post-contract maintenance or support services and professional services, which include consulting, training, and other services. We recognize revenue ratably over the support services term. We record professional service revenue as the services are provided to the customer. | ||||||||||||
We determine whether product revenue recognition is appropriate based upon the evaluation of whether the following four criteria have been met: | ||||||||||||
1.Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists – Generally, we use either a customer signed contract or qualified customer purchase order as evidence of an arrangement for both term and perpetual licenses. For professional service engagements, we generally use a signed professional services agreement and a statement of work to evidence an arrangement. Sales through our distributors are evidenced by an agreement governing the relationship, together with binding purchase orders from the distributor on a transaction-by-transaction basis. | ||||||||||||
2.Delivery has occurred – We generally deliver software and the corresponding access keys to customers electronically. Electronic delivery occurs when we provide the customer access to the software. We may also deliver the software on a digital versatile disc (DVD). With respect to emulation hardware systems, we transfer title to the customer upon shipment. Our software license and emulation hardware system agreements generally do not contain conditions for acceptance. | ||||||||||||
3.Fee is fixed or determinable – We assess whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement, primarily based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. We have established a history of collecting under the original contract with installment terms without providing concessions on payments, products, or services. Additionally, for installment contracts, we determine that the fee is fixed or determinable if the arrangement has a payment schedule that is within the term of the licenses and the payments are collected in equal or nearly equal installments, when evaluated on a cumulative basis. If the fee is not deemed to be fixed or determinable, we recognize revenue as payments become due and payable. | ||||||||||||
Significant judgment is involved in assessing whether a fee is fixed or determinable. We must also make these judgments when assessing whether a contract amendment to a term arrangement (primarily in the context of a license extension or renewal) constitutes a concession. Our experience has been that we are able to determine whether a fee is fixed or determinable for term licenses. If we no longer were to have a history of collecting under the original contract without providing concessions on term licenses, revenue from term licenses would be required to be recognized when payments under the installment contract become due and payable. Such a change could have a material impact on our results of operations. | ||||||||||||
4.Collectibility is probable – To recognize revenue, we must judge collectibility of the arrangement fees on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to our credit review process. We typically sell to customers with whom there is a history of successful collection. We evaluate the financial position and a customer’s ability to pay whenever an existing customer purchases new products, renews an existing arrangement, or requests an increase in credit terms. For certain industries for which our products are not considered core to the industry or the industry is generally considered troubled, we impose higher credit standards. If we determine that collectibility is not probable based upon our credit review process or the customer’s payment history, we recognize revenue as payments are received. | ||||||||||||
Multiple element arrangements involving software licenses – For multiple element arrangements involving software and other software-related deliverables, vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE) must exist to allocate the total fee among all delivered and non-essential undelivered elements of the arrangement. If undelivered elements of the arrangement are essential to the functionality of the product, we defer revenue until the essential elements are delivered. If VSOE does not exist for one or more non-essential undelivered elements, we defer revenue until such evidence exists for the undelivered elements, or until all elements are delivered, whichever is earlier. If VSOE of all non-essential undelivered elements exists but VSOE does not exist for one or more delivered elements, we recognize revenue using the residual method. Under the residual method, we defer revenue related to the undelivered elements based upon VSOE and we recognize the remaining portion of the arrangement fee as revenue for the delivered elements, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. | ||||||||||||
We base our VSOE for certain elements of an arrangement upon the pricing in comparable transactions when the element is sold separately. We primarily base our VSOE for term and perpetual support services upon customer renewal history where the services are sold separately. We also base VSOE for professional services and installation services for emulation hardware systems upon the price charged when the services are sold separately. | ||||||||||||
Multiple element arrangements involving hardware – For multiple element arrangements involving our emulation hardware systems, we allocate revenue to each element based on the relative selling price of each deliverable. In order to meet the separation criteria to allocate revenue to each element we must determine the standalone selling price of each element using a hierarchy of evidence. | ||||||||||||
The authoritative guidance requires that, in the absence of VSOE or third-party evidence (TPE), a company must develop an estimated selling price (ESP). ESP is defined as the price at which the vendor would transact if the deliverable was sold by the vendor regularly on a standalone basis. A company should consider market conditions as well as entity-specific factors when estimating a selling price.We base our ESP for certain elements in arrangements on either costs incurred to manufacture a product plus a reasonable profit margin or standalone sales to similar customers. In determining profit margins, we consider current market conditions, pricing strategies related to the class of customer, and the level of penetration we have with the customer. In other cases, we may have limited sales on a standalone basis to the same or similar customers and/or guaranteed pricing on future purchases of the same item. | ||||||||||||
Software Development Costs | ||||||||||||
We capitalize software development costs beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established by either completion of a detail program design or completion of a working model of the product and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. The period between the achievement of technological feasibility and the general release of our products has historically been of short duration. As a result, those capitalizable software development costs are insignificant and have been charged to research and development expense in all periods in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. | ||||||||||||
We did not capitalize any acquired developed technology during fiscal 2015 and 2013. We capitalized $3,698 of acquired developed technology during fiscal 2014. | ||||||||||||
Advertising Costs | ||||||||||||
We expense all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense is included in marketing and selling expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income as follows: | ||||||||||||
Year ended January 31, | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||||
Advertising expense | $ | 2,985 | $ | 2,654 | $ | 2,326 | ||||||
Special Charges | ||||||||||||
We record within special charges in the consolidated statements of income, expenses incurred related to certain litigation costs that are unusual in nature due to the significance in variability of timing and amount. | ||||||||||||
We also record restructuring charges within special charges in connection with our plans to better align our cost structure with projected operations in the future. We record restructuring charges in connection with employee rebalances based on estimates of the expected costs associated with severance benefits. If the actual cost incurred exceeds the estimated cost, additional expense is recognized. If the actual cost is less than the estimated cost, a benefit is recognized. See additional discussion in Note 15. "Special Charges." | ||||||||||||
Net Income Per Share | ||||||||||||
We compute basic net income 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 restricted stock units, common shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options, purchase rights from employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs), and common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible subordinated debentures using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. Net income used to compute basic and diluted net income per share is increased or reduced for the adjustment of the noncontrolling interest with redemption feature to its calculated redemption value. See additional discussion in Note 13. “Net Income Per Share.” | ||||||||||||
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||
We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. For options and stock awards that vest fully on any termination of service, there is no requisite service period and consequently we recognize the expense fully in the period in which the award is granted. We present the excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows when the benefit is utilized. | ||||||||||||
We have elected to compute the timing of excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options on the “with-and-without” approach. Under this approach, we do not record an excess tax benefit until such time as a cash tax benefit is recognized. Further, we include the impact of these excess tax benefits in the calculation of indirect tax attributes, such as the research and development credit and the domestic manufacturing deduction. We compute the pool of excess tax benefits available to offset any future shortfalls in the tax benefits actually realized on exercises of stock options as a single pool for employees and non-employees. | ||||||||||||
See a further description of how we estimate the fair value of stock options and purchase rights under our ESPPs in Note 11. “Employee Stock and Savings Plans.” | ||||||||||||
Transfer of Financial Assets | ||||||||||||
We finance certain software license agreements with customers through the sale, assignment, and transfer of the future payments under those agreements to financing institutions on a non-recourse basis. We retain no interest in the transferred receivable. We record the transfers as sales of the related accounts receivable when we are considered to have surrendered control of such receivables. The gain or loss on the sale of receivables is included in general and administration in operating expenses in our consolidated statement of income. The gain or loss on the sale of receivables consists of two components: (i) the discount on sold receivables, which is the difference between the undiscounted balance of the receivables, and the net proceeds received from the financing institution and (ii) the unaccreted interest on the receivables sold. We impute interest on the receivables based on prevailing market rates and record this as a discount against the receivable. | ||||||||||||
We sold the following receivables to financing institutions on a non-recourse basis and recognized the following gain on the sale of those receivables: | ||||||||||||
Year ended January 31, | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||||

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 January 31, 2015, of the total recorded balance, $1,515 was included in accrued and other liabilities and $3,048 was included in other long-term liabilities on our 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 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 January 31, 2015 encompasses the following significant unobservable inputs: | ||||||||||||||||
Unobservable Inputs | Range | |||||||||||||||
Total estimated contingent consideration | $1,515 | - | $5,655 | |||||||||||||
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 consolidated statement of income in the period in which the change is identified. | ||||||||||||||||

Carrying value of notes payable | $ | 230,400 | $ | 224,261 | ||||||||||||
We based the fair value of notes payable on the quoted market price at the balance sheet date. Our notes are not actively traded and the quoted market price 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 consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2015 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. |

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 our 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 twelve months ended January 31, 2015 and a deferred payment valued at $4,471. | ||||||||||||||||
The identified intangible assets acquired consisted of purchased 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. | ||||||||||||||||
Other acquisitions for the twelve months ended January 31, 2015 consisted of four privately-held companies which were accounted for as business combinations. These acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate. | ||||||||||||||||
The separate results of operations for the acquisitions during the twelve months ended January 31, 2015 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. |

Term Receivables and Trade Accounts Receivable | Term Receivables and Trade Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||||
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 January 31, | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 208,996 | $ | 179,830 | ||||||||||||

Term receivables, long-term | $ | 301,862 | $ | 270,365 | ||||||||||||
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 at the time of assessment. For customers that do not have an S&P credit rating, we base our credit risk assessment on results provided in the customers' most recent financial statements at the time of assessment. 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 year ended January 31, 2015 by $1,691, to reflect 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. | ||||||||||||||||

Short-term Debt [Abstract] | ||
Short-term Borrowings | Short-Term Borrowings | |
In January 2015, we amended our syndicated, senior, unsecured, revolving credit facility, extending the termination date to January 9, 2020. | ||
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. | ||
We had no borrowings against the revolving credit facility during fiscal 2015 or fiscal 2014. 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. | ||
The revolving credit facility contains certain financial and other covenants, including the following: | ||
• | Our adjusted quick ratio (ratio of the sum of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and net current receivables to total current liabilities) shall not be less than 1.00; | |
• | Our tangible net worth (stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets) must exceed the calculated required tangible net worth as defined in the credit agreement; | |
• | Our leverage ratio (ratio of total liabilities less subordinated debt to the sum of subordinated debt and tangible net worth) shall be less than 2.00; | |
• | Our senior leverage ratio (ratio of total debt less subordinated debt to the sum of subordinated debt and tangible net worth) shall not be greater than 0.90; and | |
• | Our minimum cash and accounts receivable ratio (ratio of the sum of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and 42.0% of net current accounts receivable, to outstanding credit agreement borrowings) shall not be less than 1.25. | |
The revolving credit facility limits the aggregate amount we can pay for dividends and repurchases of our stock over the term of the facility to $50,000 plus 70% of our cumulative net income for periods after January 31, 2011. | ||
We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of January 31, 2015. 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. |

Notes Payable [Abstract] | ||||||||||||
Notes Payable | Notes Payable | |||||||||||
We have no long-term obligations maturing within the next five years. Our 4.00% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (4.00% Debentures) are due in 2031, but we may be required to repay them earlier under the conversion and redemption provisions described below. | ||||||||||||
4.00% Debentures due 2031 | ||||||||||||
In April 2011, we issued $253,000 of 4.00% Debentures in a private placement pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Interest on the 4.00% Debentures is payable semi-annually in April and October. | ||||||||||||
As of January 31, 2015 each one thousand dollars in principal amount of the 4.00% Debentures is convertible, under certain circumstances, into 49.5896 shares of our common stock (equivalent to a conversion price of $20.17 per share) for a total of 12,546 shares. The initial conversion rate for the 4.00% Debentures was 48.6902 shares of our common stock for each one thousand dollars in principal amount (equivalent to a conversion price of $20.54 per share). The conversion rate was adjusted because we declared and paid cash dividends during fiscal years 2015 and 2014. | ||||||||||||
As of January 31, 2015, the 4.00% Debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, into shares of our common stock at the conversion rate noted above. The circumstances for conversion include: | ||||||||||||
• | The market price of our common stock exceeding 120% of the conversion price, or $24.20 per share as of January 31, 2015, 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 January 31, 2015, the if-converted value of the 4.00% Debentures to the note holders exceeded the principal amount by $35,683. | ||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||
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 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 allowing for settlement of the debt 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 | 31-Jan-15 | 31-Jan-14 | ||||||||||
Principal amount | $ | 253,000 | $ | 253,000 | ||||||||
Unamortized debt discount | (22,600 | ) | (28,739 | ) | ||||||||
Net carrying amount of the liability component | $ | 230,400 | $ | 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 consolidated statement of operations related to the 4.00% Debentures: | ||||||||||||
Year ended January 31, | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||||

Amortization of debt discount | $ | 6,139 | $ | 5,715 | $ | 5,322 | ||||||
The effective interest rate on the 4.00% Debentures was 7.25% for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and fiscal 2013. |

Tax attributes created by, and associated with, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options are not recorded as deferred tax assets. To the extent such attributes are utilized, we may increase stockholders’ equity. Our deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards created by excess tax benefits from stock options have been reduced by $43,206 as of January 31, 2015 and $38,893 as of January 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||
The decrease in the valuation allowance largely resulted from accrual of a U.S. deferred tax liability on fiscal 2015 foreign earnings that are not permanently reinvested and may be repatriated in the future. | ||||||||||||
We have determined the amounts of our valuation allowances based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate over the periods in which the related deferred tax assets will be recoverable. We determined it is not more-likely-than-not that our U.S. entities will generate sufficient taxable income to offset reversing deductible timing differences and to fully utilize carryforward tax attributes. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets for which realization does not meet the more-likely-than-not standard. Similarly, there is a valuation allowance on our state deferred tax assets due to the same uncertainties regarding future taxable U.S. income. We determine valuation allowances related to certain foreign deferred tax assets based on historical losses as well as future expectations in certain jurisdictions. | ||||||||||||
We have not provided for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to the extent they are considered permanently re-invested outside the U.S. As of January 31, 2015, the cumulative amount of earnings upon which U.S. income taxes have not been provided is approximately $482,781. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability on permanently re-invested earnings is not practicable. Where the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not treated as permanently reinvested, we have accrued for U.S. income taxes on those earnings in our tax provision. | ||||||||||||
On December 19, 2014, the U.S. President signed into law the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 (the “2014 Act”). Under prior law, a taxpayer was entitled to a research tax credit for qualifying amounts paid or incurred on or before December 31, 2013. The 2014 Act extended the research credit for one year to December 31, 2014. The extension of the research credit was retroactive and includes amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2013. The federal research credit has not been extended to new research activities incurred after December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The statute of limitations for adjustments to our historic tax obligations will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In some cases it may be extended or be unlimited. Furthermore, net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to adjustment after the expiration of the statute of limitations of the year such net operating losses and tax credits originated. Our larger jurisdictions generally provide for a statute of limitation from three to five years. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax years which remain open for examination are fiscal years 2012 and forward, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examination and adjustment for three years following the year in which utilized. We are currently under examination in various jurisdictions. The examinations are in different stages and timing of their resolution is difficult to predict. The statute of limitations remains open for years on and after fiscal 2011 in Ireland. | ||||||||||||
We have reserves for taxes to address potential exposures involving tax positions that are being challenged or that could be challenged by the tax authorities even though we believe the positions we have taken are appropriate. We believe our tax reserves are adequate to cover potential liabilities. We review the tax reserves as circumstances warrant and adjust the reserves as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes. It is often difficult to predict the final outcome or timing of resolution of any particular tax matter. Various events, some of which cannot be predicted, such as clarification of tax law by administrative or judicial means, may occur and would require us to increase or decrease our reserves and effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that existing unrecognized tax benefits may decrease from $0 to $3,000 due to settlements or expiration of the statute of limitations within the next twelve months. To the extent that uncertain tax positions resolve in our favor, it could have a positive impact on our effective tax rate. A portion of our reserves, which could settle or expire within the next twelve months, may result in deferred tax assets subject to a valuation allowance for which no benefit would be recognized. Income tax-related interest and penalties were an expense of $884 for the year ended January 31, 2015, a benefit of $1,710 for the year ended January 31, 2014 and a benefit of $297 for the year ended January 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||
The below schedule shows the gross changes in unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions for the years ending January 31, 2015 and 2014: | ||||||||||||

The ending balances of unrecognized tax benefits represent the gross amount of exposure in individual jurisdictions and do not reflect any additional benefits expected to be realized if such positions were not sustained, such as the federal deduction that could be realized if an unrecognized state deduction was not sustained. The ending gross balances exclude accrued interest and penalties related to such positions of $8,366 as of January 31, 2015 and $7,687 as of January 31, 2014. We expect that $19,355 of our unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective tax rate. |

Indemnifications | ||||||||||||
Our license and services agreements generally include a limited indemnification provision for claims from third parties relating to our intellectual property (IP). 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 January 31, 2015, we were not aware of any material liabilities arising from these indemnifications. | ||||||||||||
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 IP 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 why 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, Inc. (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 U.S. patents. In this case, Synopsys seeks compensatory damages relating to our emulation and field programmable gate arrays synthesis products. One of the Synopsys patents is now the subject of a review by the U.S. Patent Office, and was removed from the case pending the results of that review. In January 2015, the court issued a summary judgment order in our favor invalidating all asserted claims of the three remaining Synopsys patents. | ||||||||||||
In May 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 U.S. patents. These claims have been dismissed. We believe these lawsuits 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. | ||||||||||||
On October 10, 2014, the jury in our patent lawsuit filed in the federal district court for the District of Oregon found that one of our patents - U.S. Patent No. 6,240,376 - was directly and indirectly infringed by EVE and Synopsys. As part of the verdict, the jury awarded us damages of approximately $36 million as well as certain royalties. As of January 31, 2015, nothing has been included in our financial results for this award. Synopsys has announced that it intends to file an appeal. | ||||||||||||
On March 12, 2015, the Oregon court granted our request for a permanent injunction against future sales of Synopsys emulators containing infringing technology. | ||||||||||||
In December 2010, we filed a patent lawsuit against EVE in Tokyo district court, which seeks compensatory damages and an injunction against the sale of EVE emulation products. The technical trial for the Japanese litigation was held in October 2014, with the court expected to deliver a verdict in 2015. |

Our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan) is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and permits accelerated vesting of outstanding options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and other equity incentives upon the occurrence of certain changes in control of our company. Stock options and time-based restricted stock units under the Incentive Plan are generally expected to vest over four years. Stock options have an expiration date of ten years from the date of grant and an exercise price no less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Performance-based restricted stock units vest after three years depending on attainment of goals for operating income margin. The source of shares issued under the Incentive Plan is new shares. We did not issue any options in fiscal 2015 and 2014. Our current equity strategy is to grant restricted stock rather than options to ensure that we deliver value to our employees when there is volatility in the market. | |||||||||||||
As of January 31, 2015, a total of 5,538 shares of common stock were available for future grant under the Incentive Plan. | |||||||||||||

Employee Stock Purchase Plans | |||||||||||||
We have an ESPP for U.S. employees and an ESPP for certain foreign subsidiary employees. The ESPPs provide for six month offerings commencing on January 1 and July 1 of each year with purchases on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Each eligible employee may purchase up to six thousand shares of stock on each purchase date at prices no less than 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the offering date or on the purchase date. As of January 31, 2015, 5,158 shares remain available for future purchase under the ESPPs. | |||||||||||||

Stock-Based Compensation Expense | |||||||||||||
The fair value of restricted stock units is the market value as of the grant date reduced by the value of expected dividends payable on our common stock prior to vesting. | |||||||||||||
We estimate the fair value of the purchase rights under our ESPPs and stock options using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates several highly subjective assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, and interest rates. | |||||||||||||
The expected volatility for the purchase rights for our ESPPs is based on the historical volatility of our shares of common stock. The expected term for the purchase rights for our ESPPs is the 6 month offering period. | |||||||||||||
In determining expected volatility for options granted in fiscal 2013, we included the elements listed below at the weighted percentages presented: | |||||||||||||
• | Historical volatility of our shares of common stock at 35%; | ||||||||||||
• | Historical volatility of shares of comparable companies at 20%; | ||||||||||||
• | Implied volatility of our traded options at 30%; and | ||||||||||||
• | Implied volatility of traded options of comparable companies at 15%. | ||||||||||||
The greatest weighting was provided to our historic volatility based on the amount of consistent historic information available. A lesser weighting was applied to the implied volatility of our traded options due to a low volume of trades and shorter terms. We also included the historic and implied volatility of comparable companies in our industry in an effort to capture a broader view of the marketplace. | |||||||||||||
We based the expected term of our stock options on historical experience. | |||||||||||||
The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the purchase rights under our ESPPs and stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. | |||||||||||||
The weighted average grant date fair values are summarized as follows: | |||||||||||||

Incentive Stock Rights | 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. |

Basic | $ | 1.28 | $ | 1.33 | $ | 1.2 | ||||||
Diluted | $ | 1.26 | $ | 1.29 | $ | 1.17 | ||||||
We excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share stock options, restricted stock units, and ESPP purchase rights representing 919 shares of common stock for fiscal 2015, 1,195 for fiscal 2014, and 1,975 for fiscal 2013. The stock options, restricted stock units, and ESPP purchase rights were determined to be anti-dilutive as a result of applying the treasury stock method. | ||||||||||||
We have increased the numerator of our basic and diluted earnings per share calculation for the decrease of the noncontrolling interest with redemption feature to its calculated redemption value at January 31, 2015, recorded directly to retained earnings. We have decreased the numerator of our basic and diluted earnings per share calculation for the increase of the noncontrolling interest with redemption feature to its calculated redemption value at January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, recorded directly to retained earnings. | ||||||||||||
The effect of the conversion of the 4.00% Debentures was anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share. We assume that the 4.00% Debentures will be settled in common stock for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect on net income per share. If the 4.00% Debentures had been dilutive we would have included additional income of $2,075 for the years ended January 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Dilutive net income per share would have included no incremental shares for the years ended January 31, 2015, 2014, or 2013 as the average stock price for the period was below the conversion rate. | ||||||||||||
The conversion features of the 4.00% Debentures, which allow for settlement in cash, common stock, 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. 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. | |||||||||||||||||
Approximately 90% of the employee severance and related costs for fiscal 2015 were paid during fiscal 2015. We expect to pay the remainder during fiscal 2016. Approximately 80% of the employee severance and related costs for fiscal 2014 were paid during fiscal 2014. Costs remaining as of January 31, 2014 were paid in fiscal 2015. Approximately 60% of the employee severance and related costs for fiscal 2013 were paid during fiscal 2013. Costs remaining as of January 31, 2013 were paid in fiscal 2014.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation | |
The 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. | ||
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other similar relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as special purpose entities. In the ordinary course of business, we lease certain real properties, primarily field sales offices, research and development facilities, and equipment, as described in Note 9. “Commitments and Contingencies.” | ||
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation | |
Local currencies are the functional currencies for our foreign subsidiaries except for certain subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Egypt, and the Netherlands Antilles where the United States (U.S.) dollar is used as the functional currency. We translate assets and liabilities of foreign operations, excluding certain subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Egypt, and the Netherlands Antilles to U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange and revenues and expenses using weighted average rates. We include foreign currency translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. We maintain the accounting records for certain subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Egypt, and the Netherlands Antilles in the U.S. dollar and accordingly no translation is necessary. We include foreign currency transaction gains and losses as a component of other income (expense), net. | ||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates | |
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include valuation of accounts receivable, revenue recognition, business combinations, income taxes, goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets, special charges, and stock-based compensation. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. | ||
Investments | Investments | |
We classify investments with original maturities of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. Short-term investments include certificates of deposit with original maturities in excess of 90 days and less than one year at the time of purchase. | ||
Long-term investments, included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, include investments with maturities in excess of one year from the balance sheet date and equity securities. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase. For investments in equity securities, we use the equity method of accounting when our investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the equity method, we currently record our share of earnings or losses as a component of other income (expense), net, equal to our proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the investee. Investments in equity securities of private companies without a readily determinable fair value, where we do not exercise significant influence over the investee, are recorded using the cost method of accounting, carrying the investment at historical cost. We periodically evaluate the fair value of all investments to determine if an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. | ||
Investment in Frontline | Investment in Frontline | |
We have a 50% interest in a joint venture, Frontline P.C.B. Solutions Limited Partnership (Frontline), a provider of engineering software solutions for the printed circuit board industry. We use the equity method of accounting for Frontline, which results in reporting our investment as one line within other assets in the consolidated balance sheet and our share of earnings as one line in the consolidated statement of income. Frontline reports on a calendar year basis. As such, we record our interest in the earnings of Frontline on a one-month lag. | ||
Although we do not exert control, we actively participate in regular and periodic activities with respect to Frontline such as budgeting, business planning, marketing, and direction of research and development projects. Accordingly, we have included our interest in the earnings of Frontline as a component of operating income. | ||
Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net | Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net | |
We state property, plant, and equipment at cost and capitalize expenditures for additions to property, plant, and equipment. We expense maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective asset as incurred. We compute depreciation on a straight-line basis | ||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and other intangible assets acquired in our business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of our reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount. We operate as a single reporting unit for purposes of goodwill evaluation. We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of January 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, we estimated the fair value of our reporting unit using its market capitalization as the best evidence of fair value and compared that fair value to the carrying value of our reporting unit. Our reporting unit passed this step of the goodwill analysis. There were no indicators of impairment to goodwill during fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013 and accordingly, no impairment charges were recognized during these fiscal periods. | ||
Intangible assets, net primarily includes purchased technology, in-process research and development, backlog, tradenames, and customer relationships acquired in our business combinations. We review long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying values of the asset groups are greater than the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset group. If we determine the assets are impaired, we write down the assets to their estimated fair value. We determine fair value based on forecasted discounted net cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets. In the event we determine our long-lived assets are impaired, we would make an adjustment resulting in a charge for the write-down in the period that the determination was made. There were no indicators of impairment to long-lived assets during fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013 and accordingly, no impairment charges were recognized during these fiscal periods. | ||
We amortize purchased technology over three to five years to system and software cost of revenues and other intangible asset costs generally over two to five years to operating expenses. We amortize capitalized in-process research and development (resulting from acquisitions) upon completion of projects to cost of revenues over the estimated useful life of the technology. Alternatively, if we abandon a project, in-process research and development costs are expensed to operating expense when that determination is made. | ||
Noncontrolling Interest with Redemption Feature | Noncontrolling Interest with Redemption Feature | |
As of January 31, 2015, our balance sheet includes a noncontrolling interest resulting from a business combination in which we acquired majority ownership in a privately-held company. In conjunction with this business combination, we also entered into an agreement which provides us a call option to acquire the noncontrolling interest, and the noncontrolling interest holders a put option to sell their interests to us for prices based on formulas defined in the agreement. The noncontrolling interest adjusted for this redemption feature based on the put option price formula, is presented on the consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Noncontrolling interest with redemption feature.” Because the redemption of the noncontrolling interest is outside of our control, we have presented this interest outside of stockholders’ equity. | ||
The noncontrolling interest with redemption feature is recognized at the greater of: | ||
i. The calculated redemption feature put value as of the balance sheet date; or | ||
ii. The initial noncontrolling interest value adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holders' share of: | ||
a. cumulative impact of net income (loss); and | ||
b. other changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. | ||
Increases (or decreases to the extent they offset previous increases) in the calculated redemption feature put value are recorded directly to retained earnings as if the balance sheet date were also the redemption date. Changes in the redemption feature put value also result in an adjustment to net income attributable to shareholders in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share. | ||
The results of the majority-owned subsidiary are presented in our consolidated results with an adjustment reflected on the face of our statement of income and the face of our statement of comprehensive income for the noncontrolling investors' interest in the results of the subsidiary. | ||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes | |
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we recognize deferred income taxes for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax balances of existing assets and liabilities. We calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted laws and tax rates that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse and be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards, and credit carryforwards if it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized. Deferred tax assets are not recorded, however, in the following circumstances: | ||
• | A deferred tax asset is not recorded for net operating loss carryforwards created by excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options. To the extent we achieve a reduction in the amount of tax that would be payable due to the utilization of such net operating loss carryforwards or otherwise, we may increase stockholders’ equity. The historical and current deferred tax assets related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises are excluded in the presentation of our financial results. | |
• | Deferred tax assets are not recorded to the extent they are attributed to uncertain tax positions. | |
For deferred tax assets that cannot be recognized under the more-likely-than-not-standard, we have established a valuation allowance. In the event we determine that we are able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, we would reverse the valuation allowance associated with such deferred tax assets in the period such determination was made. Also, if we determine that we are not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we would record a valuation allowance on such net deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase in expense in the period such determination was made. | ||
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous foreign jurisdictions, and in the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. While we believe the positions we have taken are appropriate, we have reserves for taxes to address potential exposures involving tax positions that are being challenged or that could be challenged by the tax authorities. We record a benefit on a tax position when we determine that it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained, we measure the tax position at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized when it is effectively settled. We review the tax reserves as circumstances warrant and adjust the reserves as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes. | ||
Business Combinations | Business Combinations | |
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 amortize 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, does not amortize. See additional discussion in Note 4. "Business Combinations." | ||
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments | |
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and have established a foreign currency hedging program to hedge certain foreign currency forecasted transactions and exposures from existing assets and liabilities. Our derivative instruments consist of foreign currency exchange contracts. By using derivative instruments, we subject ourselves to credit risk. If a counterparty fails to fulfill its performance obligations under a derivative contract, our credit risk will equal the fair value of the derivative instrument. Generally, when the fair value of our derivative contracts is a net asset, the counterparty owes us, thus creating a receivable risk. We minimize counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative transactions with major financial institutions and, as such, we do not expect material losses as a result of default by our counterparties. We execute foreign currency transactions in exchange-traded or over-the-counter markets for which quoted prices exist. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. | ||
To manage the foreign currency volatility, we aggregate exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. The primary exposures are the Japanese yen, where we are in a long position, and the euro and the British pound, where we are in a short position. Most large European revenue contracts are denominated and paid to us in U.S. dollars while our European expenses, including substantial research and development operations, are paid in local currencies causing a short position in the euro and the British pound. In addition, we experience greater inflows than outflows of Japanese yen as almost all Japanese-based customers contract and pay us in Japanese yen. While these exposures are aggregated on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets, substantial exposures remain. | ||
To partially offset the net exposures in the euro, British pound, and the Japanese yen, we enter into foreign currency exchange contracts of less than one year which are designated as cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on Japanese yen contracts is classified as product revenue when the hedged transaction occurs while any gain or loss on euro and British pound contracts is classified as operating expense when the hedged transaction occurs. | ||
We use an income approach to determine the fair value of our foreign currency contracts and record them at fair value utilizing observable market inputs at the measurement date. We report the fair value of derivatives in other receivables, if the balance is an asset, or accrued liabilities, if the balance is a liability, in the consolidated balance sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends upon whether it has been designated in a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. To qualify for designation in a hedging relationship, specific criteria must be met and the appropriate documentation maintained. Hedging relationships, if designated, are established pursuant to our risk management policy and are initially and regularly evaluated to determine whether they are expected to be, and have been, highly effective hedges. We formally document all relationships between foreign currency exchange contracts and hedged items as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. | ||
All hedges designated as cash flow hedges are linked to forecasted transactions and we assess, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the foreign currency exchange contracts in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items. We report the effective portions of the net gains or losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income associated with hedges of forecasted transactions is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income in the same period the forecasted transaction occurs or the hedge is no longer effective. We expect substantially all of the hedge balance in accumulated other comprehensive income to be reclassified to the consolidated statement of income within the next twelve months. | ||
We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to offset the earnings impact relating to the variability in exchange rates on certain short-term monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. We do not designate these foreign currency contracts as hedges. The change in fair value of these derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments is reported each period in other income (expense), net, in our consolidated statement of income. | ||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition | |
We report revenue in two categories based on how revenue is generated: (i) system and software and (ii) service and support. | ||
System and software revenues – We derive system and software revenues from the sale of licenses of software products and emulation and other hardware systems, including finance fee revenues from our long-term installment receivables resulting from product sales. We primarily license our products using two different license types: | ||
1.Term licenses – We use this license type primarily for software sales. This license type provides the customer with the right to use a fixed list of software products for a specified time period, typically three to four years, with payments spread over the license term, and does not provide the customer with the right to use the products after the end of the term. Term license arrangements may allow the customer to share products between multiple locations and remix product usage from the fixed list of products at regular intervals during the license term. We generally recognize product revenue from term license arrangements upon product delivery and start of the license term. In a term license agreement where we provide the customer with rights to unspecified or unreleased future products, we recognize revenue ratably over the license term. | ||
2.Perpetual licenses – We use this license type for software and emulation hardware system sales. This license type provides the customer with the right to use the product in perpetuity and typically does not provide for extended payment terms. We generally recognize product revenue from perpetual license arrangements upon product delivery assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. | ||
We include finance fee revenues from the accretion of the discount on long-term installment receivables in system and software revenues. Finance fee revenues were approximately 2.0% of total revenues for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and fiscal 2013. | ||
Service and support revenues – We derive service and support revenues from software and hardware post-contract maintenance or support services and professional services, which include consulting, training, and other services. We recognize revenue ratably over the support services term. We record professional service revenue as the services are provided to the customer. | ||
We determine whether product revenue recognition is appropriate based upon the evaluation of whether the following four criteria have been met: | ||
1.Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists – Generally, we use either a customer signed contract or qualified customer purchase order as evidence of an arrangement for both term and perpetual licenses. For professional service engagements, we generally use a signed professional services agreement and a statement of work to evidence an arrangement. Sales through our distributors are evidenced by an agreement governing the relationship, together with binding purchase orders from the distributor on a transaction-by-transaction basis. | ||
2.Delivery has occurred – We generally deliver software and the corresponding access keys to customers electronically. Electronic delivery occurs when we provide the customer access to the software. We may also deliver the software on a digital versatile disc (DVD). With respect to emulation hardware systems, we transfer title to the customer upon shipment. Our software license and emulation hardware system agreements generally do not contain conditions for acceptance. | ||
3.Fee is fixed or determinable – We assess whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement, primarily based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. We have established a history of collecting under the original contract with installment terms without providing concessions on payments, products, or services. Additionally, for installment contracts, we determine that the fee is fixed or determinable if the arrangement has a payment schedule that is within the term of the licenses and the payments are collected in equal or nearly equal installments, when evaluated on a cumulative basis. If the fee is not deemed to be fixed or determinable, we recognize revenue as payments become due and payable. | ||
Significant judgment is involved in assessing whether a fee is fixed or determinable. We must also make these judgments when assessing whether a contract amendment to a term arrangement (primarily in the context of a license extension or renewal) constitutes a concession. Our experience has been that we are able to determine whether a fee is fixed or determinable for term licenses. If we no longer were to have a history of collecting under the original contract without providing concessions on term licenses, revenue from term licenses would be required to be recognized when payments under the installment contract become due and payable. Such a change could have a material impact on our results of operations. | ||
4.Collectibility is probable – To recognize revenue, we must judge collectibility of the arrangement fees on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to our credit review process. We typically sell to customers with whom there is a history of successful collection. We evaluate the financial position and a customer’s ability to pay whenever an existing customer purchases new products, renews an existing arrangement, or requests an increase in credit terms. For certain industries for which our products are not considered core to the industry or the industry is generally considered troubled, we impose higher credit standards. If we determine that collectibility is not probable based upon our credit review process or the customer’s payment history, we recognize revenue as payments are received. | ||
Multiple element arrangements involving software licenses – For multiple element arrangements involving software and other software-related deliverables, vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE) must exist to allocate the total fee among all delivered and non-essential undelivered elements of the arrangement. If undelivered elements of the arrangement are essential to the functionality of the product, we defer revenue until the essential elements are delivered. If VSOE does not exist for one or more non-essential undelivered elements, we defer revenue until such evidence exists for the undelivered elements, or until all elements are delivered, whichever is earlier. If VSOE of all non-essential undelivered elements exists but VSOE does not exist for one or more delivered elements, we recognize revenue using the residual method. Under the residual method, we defer revenue related to the undelivered elements based upon VSOE and we recognize the remaining portion of the arrangement fee as revenue for the delivered elements, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. | ||
We base our VSOE for certain elements of an arrangement upon the pricing in comparable transactions when the element is sold separately. We primarily base our VSOE for term and perpetual support services upon customer renewal history where the services are sold separately. We also base VSOE for professional services and installation services for emulation hardware systems upon the price charged when the services are sold separately. | ||
Multiple element arrangements involving hardware – For multiple element arrangements involving our emulation hardware systems, we allocate revenue to each element based on the relative selling price of each deliverable. In order to meet the separation criteria to allocate revenue to each element we must determine the standalone selling price of each element using a hierarchy of evidence. | ||
The authoritative guidance requires that, in the absence of VSOE or third-party evidence (TPE), a company must develop an estimated selling price (ESP). ESP is defined as the price at which the vendor would transact if the deliverable was sold by the vendor regularly on a standalone basis. A company should consider market conditions as well as entity-specific factors when estimating a selling price.We base our ESP for certain elements in arrangements on either costs incurred to manufacture a product plus a reasonable profit margin or standalone sales to similar customers. In determining profit margins, we consider current market conditions, pricing strategies related to the class of customer, and the level of penetration we have with the customer. In other cases, we may have limited sales on a standalone basis to the same or similar customers and/or guaranteed pricing on future purchases of the same item. | ||
Software Development Costs | Software Development Costs | |
We capitalize software development costs beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established by either completion of a detail program design or completion of a working model of the product and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. The period between the achievement of technological feasibility and the general release of our products has historically been of short duration. As a result, those capitalizable software development costs are insignificant and have been charged to research and development expense in all periods in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. | ||
We did not capitalize any acquired developed technology during fiscal 2015 and 2013. We capitalized $3,698 of acquired developed technology during fiscal 2014. | ||
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs | |
We expense all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense is included in marketing and selling expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income | ||
Special Charges | Special Charges | |
We record within special charges in the consolidated statements of income, expenses incurred related to certain litigation costs that are unusual in nature due to the significance in variability of timing and amount. | ||
We also record restructuring charges within special charges in connection with our plans to better align our cost structure with projected operations in the future. We record restructuring charges in connection with employee rebalances based on estimates of the expected costs associated with severance benefits. If the actual cost incurred exceeds the estimated cost, additional expense is recognized. If the actual cost is less than the estimated cost, a benefit is recognized. See additional discussion in Note 15. "Special Charges." | ||
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. | ||
Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per Share | |
We compute basic net income 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 restricted stock units, common shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options, purchase rights from employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs), and common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible subordinated debentures using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. Net income used to compute basic and diluted net income per share is increased or reduced for the adjustment of the noncontrolling interest with redemption feature to its calculated redemption value. See additional discussion in Note 13. “Net Income Per Share.” | ||
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation | |
We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. For options and stock awards that vest fully on any termination of service, there is no requisite service period and consequently we recognize the expense fully in the period in which the award is granted. We present the excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows when the benefit is utilized. | ||
We have elected to compute the timing of excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options on the “with-and-without” approach. Under this approach, we do not record an excess tax benefit until such time as a cash tax benefit is recognized. Further, we include the impact of these excess tax benefits in the calculation of indirect tax attributes, such as the research and development credit and the domestic manufacturing deduction. We compute the pool of excess tax benefits available to offset any future shortfalls in the tax benefits actually realized on exercises of stock options as a single pool for employees and non-employees. | ||
See a further description of how we estimate the fair value of stock options and purchase rights under our ESPPs in Note 11. “Employee Stock and Savings Plans.” | ||
Transfers of Financial Assets | Transfer of Financial Assets | |
We finance certain software license agreements with customers through the sale, assignment, and transfer of the future payments under those agreements to financing institutions on a non-recourse basis. We retain no interest in the transferred receivable. We record the transfers as sales of the related accounts receivable when we are considered to have surrendered control of such receivables. The gain or loss on the sale of receivables is included in general and administration in operating expenses in our consolidated statement of income. The gain or loss on the sale of receivables consists of two components: (i) the discount on sold receivables, which is the difference between the undiscounted balance of the receivables, and the net proceeds received from the financing institution and (ii) the unaccreted interest on the receivables sold. We impute interest on the receivables based on prevailing market rates and record this as a discount against the receivable. |

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. Our notes are not actively traded and the quoted market price is derived from observable inputs including our stock price, stock volatility, and interest rate (Level 2). |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Receivables policy | 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. |
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 at the time of assessment. For customers that do not have an S&P credit rating, we base our credit risk assessment on results provided in the customers' most recent financial statements at the time of assessment. 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. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities or Restructurings | Special Charges |
We record within special charges in the consolidated statements of income, expenses incurred related to certain litigation costs that are unusual in nature due to the significance in variability of timing and amount. | |
We also record restructuring charges within special charges in connection with our plans to better align our cost structure with projected operations in the future. We record restructuring charges in connection with employee rebalances based on estimates of the expected costs associated with severance benefits. If the actual cost incurred exceeds the estimated cost, additional expense is recognized. If the actual cost is less than the estimated cost, a benefit is recognized. See additional discussion in Note 15. "Special Charges." | |
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. |
