EXHIBIT 99.1 FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT: Alan Lindstrom Investors and Shareholders Cadence Design Systems, Inc. 408-944-7100 investor_relations@cadence.com Giovanni Rodriguez Media and Industry Analysts Eastwick Communications Cadence Design Systems, Inc. 650-480-4021 www.eastwick.com CADENCE REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS SAN JOSE, Calif., April 21, 2004 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CDN) today announced total revenue for the first quarter of 2004 of $266 million compared to $263 million in the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, Cadence(R) recognized a net loss of $9 million, or $0.03 per share in the first quarter of 2004, compared to a net loss of $13 million, or $0.05 per share in the same period last year. In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating Cadence's business, management also believes it useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income (loss), which excludes as applicable amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges and equity in losses from investments. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is reduced by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability. Using this non-GAAP measure, earnings in the first quarter were $28 million, or $0.10 per share, on a fully diluted basis as compared to $12 million, or $0.05 per share, on a fully diluted basis, in the same period last year. "In the first quarter we executed to our financial and technology goals, and introduced our fourth technology platform, Allegro(R)," said Ray Bingham, Cadence president and chief executive officer. "Customer adoption continued to validate our platform strategy, particularly in digital design, where our Encounter(TM) platform is rapidly gaining momentum for the design of big, complex SoCs." BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS OF Q1 2004 The number of tapeouts with the full SoC Encounter flow grew to over 150, more than 30 of which were 90 nanometer designs, including a 35 million gate processor chip. Leaders such as ARM, Artisan, IBM and TSMC validated Encounter RTL Compiler global synthesis for support in their reference flows. The Incisive(TM) platform, introduced just one year ago, further demonstrated the strength of our platform approach. In the first quarter, 70 percent of Cadence's software-based verification business was generated by sales of the full platform - up from 50 percent for the prior quarter. The Incisive platform provides the fastest, most complete verification solution for big, complex SoCs. Cadence continued to focus on its custom/analog platform integration, which enhances tool interoperability and makes designers more productive. In September 2003 Cadence introduced the Virtuoso(R) custom design platform on the OpenAccess database, and introduced the new chip integration flow, which reduces time for full-scale physical integration by half. In April, Cadence completed its acquisition of Neolinear, Inc. This will enhance the analog/mixed-signal and radio frequency capability in the Virtuoso platform, and deliver higher-performance designs, with improved yield, in less time for customers. "We are gaining widespread customer support for our best-of-breed technologies, integrating them into platforms, and validating them through open collaboration" said Bingham. "Our focus is to deliver design automation solutions that generate more profit for our customers." The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the impact of any mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations that may be completed after April 21, 2004. BUSINESS OUTLOOK For the second quarter of 2004, the company expects total revenue in the range of $285 million to $295 million. Second quarter GAAP earnings per fully diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.03 to $0.05. Diluted earnings per share using our non-GAAP measure defined below are expected to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.16. For the full year 2004, the company expects total revenue in the range of $1.175 billion to $1.225 billion. On a GAAP basis, we expect net income per fully diluted share for fiscal 2004 in the range of $0.31 to $0.38. Using our non-GAAP measure defined below, we expect fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2004 to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.77. A schedule showing a reconciliation of the business outlook from GAAP net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share to our non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share is included with this release.

These include the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2004. GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION The company's management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various operating measures. These measures are generally based on the revenues of its product, maintenance and services business operations and certain costs of those operations, such as cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. One such measure is non-GAAP net income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This measure consists of GAAP net income (loss) excluding, as applicable, amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, in-process research and development charges, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges (severance and benefits, excess facilities and asset-related restructuring charges) and equity in losses (income) from investments. Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology, backlog, patents, trademarks, distribution rights, customer contracts and related relationships and non-compete agreements. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is reduced by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company's tax liability. Management believes it is useful in measuring Cadence's operations to exclude amortization of intangibles, deferred stock compensation, in-process research and development and acquisition-related expenses because these costs are primarily fixed at the time of an acquisition and generally cannot be changed by management in the short term. Management believes that it also is useful to exclude restructuring costs. Cadence has dramatically reduced the size of its design services business and portions of its product and maintenance businesses over the past three years. As a result, in 2001, 2002 and 2003, Cadence's GAAP statements of operations have included significant charges relating to such restructurings. Cadence believes that in measuring its operations it is useful to exclude such restructuring costs because the company's level of restructuring activities is expected to significantly decrease in the foreseeable future. Management also believes it is useful to exclude the equity in losses (income) from investments and investment write-downs, as these costs are not part of the company's direct cost of operations. Rather, these are non-operating costs that are included in other income (expense) and are part of the company's investment activities. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results. The following table reconciles the specific items excluded from GAAP in the calculation of non-GAAP net income for the periods shown below: QUARTER ENDED ------------------------------------ RESTATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS RECONCILIATION APRIL 3, 2004 MARCH 29, 2003 - ------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ----------------- (in thousands) Net loss on a GAAP basis $ (8,755) $ (13,038) Amortization of intangible assets 26,158 25,286 Amortization of deferred stock compensation 7,958 6,081 Restructuring charges 5,435 - In-process research and development charges - 1,700 Integration and other acquisition-related expenses 825 - Equity in losses from investments 8,384 - Tax effect (12,229) (7,788) Net income on a non-GAAP basis $ 27,776 $ 12,241 QUARTER ENDED ------------------------------------ RESTATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS RECONCILIATION PER SHARE APRIL 3, 2004 MARCH 29, 2003 - ------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ----------------- (in thousands, except per share data) Diluted net loss per share on a GAAP basis $ (0.03) $ (0.05) Amortization of intangible assets 0.09 0.09 Amortization of deferred stock compensation 0.03 0.02 Restructuring charges 0.02 - In-process research and development charges - 0.01 Integration and other acquisition-related expenses - - Equity in losses from investments 0.03 - Tax effect (0.04) (0.02) Diluted net income per share on a non-GAAP basis $ 0.10 $ 0.05 Shares used in calculation of net (loss) -- GAAP 271,477 268,358 Shares used in calculation of net income -- non- GAAP* 280,586 271,910 * Shares used in the calculation of GAAP earnings per share are expected to be the same as shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP earnings per share except when the company reports a GAAP loss and non-GAAP income, or GAAP income and a non-GAAP loss. Investors are encouraged to look at GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance. For example, amortization of intangibles or amortization of deferred stock compensation or in-process technology are important to consider because they may represent initial expenditures that under GAAP are reported across future fiscal periods. Likewise, deferred stock compensation expense is an obligation of the company that should be considered. Restructuring charges can be triggered by acquisitions or product adjustments as well as overall company performance within a given business environment. All of these metrics are important to financial performance generally. Though Cadence management finds its non-GAAP measure useful to evaluate the performance of Cadence's business, its reliance on this measure is limited because items excluded from such measures often have a material effect on Cadence's earnings and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, Cadence management typically uses its non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures in conjunction with GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, to address these limitations. Cadence believes that presenting its non-GAAP measure of earnings and earnings per share provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the performance of the company's business, which management uses in its own evaluation of performance, and an additional base line for assessing the future earnings potential of the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the company prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental measure since, with a reconciliation to GAAP, it may provide additional insight into our financial results. Cadence expects that its corporate representatives will meet privately during the quarter with investors, the media, investment analysts and others. At these meetings, Cadence may reiterate the Business Outlook published in this press release. At the same time, Cadence will keep this press release, including the outlook, publicly available on its Web site (www.cadence.com/company/investor_relations/index.html). Prior to the start of the Quiet Period (described below), the public may continue to rely on the Business Outlook herein as still being Cadence's current expectations on matters covered unless Cadence publishes a notice stating otherwise. Beginning June 18, 2004, Cadence will observe a "Quiet Period" during which the Business Outlook as provided in this press release and the company's most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q no longer constitute the company's current expectations. During the Quiet Period, the Business Outlook in these documents should be considered to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to update by the company. During the Quiet Period, Cadence representatives will not comment concerning the outlook or Cadence's financial results or expectations. The Quiet Period will extend until the day when Cadence's Second Quarter 2004 Earnings Release is published, currently scheduled for July 21, 2004. # # # CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.
