“I am incredibly honored, humbled, and profoundly grateful to the board, and Aart, for placing their unwavering trust in me,” said Sassine Ghazi, president and COO of Synopsys. “Aart built Synopsys from a disruptive start-up into one of the world’s essential semiconductor ecosystem companies. I am so proud to have been a part of that journey for the last 25 years. I am determined to build upon our strong foundation, drive innovation, and propel Synopsys to even greater heights of success.”
Synopsys CFO, Shelagh Glaser, commented on the transition and the financial results: “I look forward to partnering with Aart and Sassine on this leadership transition as we continue to deliver value for shareholders and customers. We outperformed our financial guidance for the third quarter led by record revenue in design automation, which delivered its first billion-dollar-revenue quarter. Strong operational execution drove non-GAAP operating margin expansion of roughly four points year over year to 35.3%, and non-GAAP earnings per share were up an impressive 37% versus the prior year. We are raising our full-year guidance and expect revenue growth of 14-15%, and non-GAAP earnings per share growth of 24-25% year over year.”
