Mentor Graphics Reports Fiscal Second Quarter Results
  Thursday, August 23, 2012, 4:15:01 PM ET

Mentor Graphics Corporation (MENT) today announced financial results for the company’s fiscal second quarter ended July 31, 2012. The company reported revenue of $240.8 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of $.21, and GAAP earnings per share of $.16. During the quarter, the company continued its share buy-back, repurchasing 1.4 million shares for $20 million. Since the first fiscal quarter of 2012, the company has repurchased 8.2 million shares for $110 million.

"Revenues and earnings were an all-time record for a second quarter, and bookings were at the second highest level for any second quarter in company history," said Walden C. Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. "Like the whole electronic design automation industry, Mentor is benefiting from the transition to 20nm and 28nm which is driving significant design activity and resultant software demand. Additionally, the company’s investments in system design, and non-traditional electronic design automation markets like embedded software, helped produce the strong results in the quarter. We are on track for record revenue and earnings for fiscal year 2013."

During the quarter, the company announced collaborations with TSMC, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Samsung in advanced process nodes. Mentor also introduced a GENIVI 2.0-compliant, Linux-based, in-vehicle infotainment solution. The company’s Capital tool suite for transportation electrical systems design was accredited to IBM’s "Ready for IBM Rational" program. Mentor also introduced a unique, general-purpose software solution that combines one-dimensional and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics--the first result from the merged technologies made possible by the recent acquisition of Flowmaster Ltd.

"We are pleased with our performance this quarter, beating our guidance by four cents. With continued focus on cost controls, 55% of incremental year-over-year revenues dropped through to operating income," said Gregory K. Hinckley, president of Mentor Graphics. "A weak euro, a weak rupee, and a strong yen worked to our advantage. We reaffirm revenue guidance of $1.1 billion and are raising our earnings estimate."

Outlook

For the full fiscal year 2013, the company reaffirms that it expects revenues of about $1.1 billion, and raises the outlook for non-GAAP earnings per share by $0.01 to approximately $1.38, and GAAP earnings per share by $0.03 to about $1.23. For the third fiscal quarter 2013, the company expects revenues of about $265 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of about $0.28, and GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.23.

Fiscal Year Definition

Mentor Graphics’ fiscal year runs from February 1 to January 31. The fiscal year is dated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends. As a result, the first three fiscal quarters of any fiscal year will be dated with the next calendar year, rather than the current calendar year.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Mentor Graphics’ management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to our GAAP results, we also consider adjusted gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share which we refer to as non-GAAP gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share, respectively. These non-GAAP measures are derived from the revenues of our product, maintenance, and services business operations and the costs directly related to the generation of those revenues, such as cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, that management considers in evaluating our ongoing core operating performance. These non-GAAP measures exclude amortization of intangible assets, special charges, equity plan-related compensation expenses, interest expense attributable to net retirement premiums or discounts on the early retirement of debt and associated debt issuance costs, interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discount and premium on convertible debt, and the equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities (except Frontline PCB Solutions Limited Partnership (Frontline)), which management does not consider reflective of our core operating business.

Management excludes from our non-GAAP measures certain recurring items to facilitate its review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not related to our ongoing core operating performance as viewed by management. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period. Management uses this view of our operating performance for purposes of comparison with our business plan and individual operating budgets and allocation of resources. Additionally, when evaluating potential acquisitions, management excludes the items described above from its consideration of target performance and valuation. More specifically, management adjusts for the excluded items for the following reasons:

-- Identified intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology, backlog, trade names, and customer relationships. Amortization charges for our intangible assets can vary in frequency and amount due to the timing and magnitude of acquisition transactions. We consider our operating results without these charges when evaluating our core performance due to the variability. Generally, the most significant impact to inter-period comparability of our net income (loss) is in the first twelve months following an acquisition.

-- Special charges primarily consist of restructuring costs incurred for employee terminations, including severance and benefits, driven by modifications of business strategy or business emphasis. Special charges may also include expenses incurred related to potential acquisitions, excess facility costs, and asset-related charges. Special charges are incurred based on the particular facts and circumstances of acquisition and restructuring decisions and can vary in size and frequency. These charges are excluded as they are not ordinarily included in our annual operating plan and related budget due to the unpredictability of economic trends and the rapidly changing technology and competitive environment in our industry. We therefore exclude them when evaluating our managers’ performance internally.

-- Equity plan-related compensation expenses represent the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units. We do not consider equity plan-related compensation expense in evaluating our manager’s performance internally or our core operations in any given period.

-- Interest expense attributable to net retirement premiums or discounts on the early retirement of debt, the write-off of associated debt issuance costs and the amortization of the debt discount and premium on convertible debt are excluded. Management does not consider these charges as a part of our core operating performance. The early retirement of debt and the associated debt issuance costs are not included in our annual operating plan and related budget due to unpredictability of market conditions which could facilitate an early retirement of debt. We do not consider the amortization of the debt discount and premium on convertible debt to be a direct cost of operations.

-- Equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated entities represents our equity in the net income (loss) of a common stock investment accounted for under the equity method. The carrying amount of our investment is adjusted for our share of earnings or losses of the investee. The amounts are excluded from our non-GAAP results (with the exception of our investment in Frontline as discussed below) as we do not control the results of operations for this investment and we do not participate in regular and periodic operating activities; therefore, management does not consider this investment as a part of our core operating performance.

-- In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Valor on March 18, 2010, we also acquired Valor’s 50% interest in Frontline, a joint venture. We report our equity in the earnings or losses of Frontline within operating income. We actively participate in regular and periodic activities such as budgeting, business planning, marketing and direction of research and development projects. Accordingly, we do not exclude our share of Frontline’s earnings or losses from our non-GAAP results as management considers the joint venture to be core to our operating performance.

-- Income tax expense (benefit) is adjusted by the amount of additional tax expense or benefit that we would accrue if we used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results in the calculation of our tax liability, taking into consideration our long-term tax structure. We use a normalized effective tax rate of 17%, which reflects the weighted average tax rate applicable under the various jurisdictions in which we operate. This non-GAAP tax rate eliminates the effects of non-recurring and period specific items which are often attributable to acquisition decisions and can vary in size and frequency and considers our U.S. loss carryforwards that have not been previously benefited. This rate is subject to change over time for various reasons, including changes in the geographic business mix and changes in statutory tax rates. Our GAAP tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2012 is (5%), after the consideration of period specific items. Without period specific items of ($5.2) million, our GAAP tax rate is 8%. Our full fiscal year 2013 GAAP tax rate, inclusive of period specific items, is projected to be 4%. The GAAP tax rate considers certain mandatory and other non-scalable tax costs which may adversely or beneficially affect our tax rate depending upon our level of profitability in various jurisdictions.

In certain instances our GAAP results of operations may not be profitable when our corresponding non-GAAP results are profitable or vice versa. The number of shares on which our non-GAAP earnings per share is calculated may therefore differ from the GAAP presentation due to the anti-dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units in a loss situation.

Non-GAAP gross margin, operating margin, and net income are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Moreover, they should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We present non-GAAP gross margin, operating margin, and net income because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our operating performance and profitability trends, and because we believe they give investors useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management. Non-GAAP net income also facilitates comparison with other companies in our industry, which use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Non-GAAP net income has limitations as an analytical tool, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In the future we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above and exclusion of these items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP net income are:

-- Amortization of intangibles represents the loss in value as the technology in our industry evolves, is advanced, or is replaced over time. The expense associated with this loss in value is not included in the non-GAAP net income presentation and therefore does not reflect the full economic effect of the ongoing cost of maintaining our current technological position in our competitive industry, which is addressed through our research and development program.

-- We regularly engage in acquisition and assimilation activities as part of our ongoing business and regularly evaluate our business to determine whether any operations should be eliminated or curtailed. We therefore will continue to experience special charges on a regular basis. These costs also directly impact our available funds.

-- Our stock incentive and stock purchase plans are important components of our incentive compensation arrangements and will be reflected as expenses in our GAAP results.

-- Our income tax expense (benefit) will be ultimately based on our GAAP taxable income and actual tax rates in effect, which often differ significantly from the 17% rate assumed in our non-GAAP presentation. In addition, if we have a GAAP loss and non-GAAP net income, our non-GAAP results will not reflect any projected GAAP tax benefits. Similarly, in the event we were to have GAAP net income and a non-GAAP loss, our GAAP tax expense would be replaced by a credit in our non-GAAP presentation.

-- Other companies, including other companies in our industry, calculate non-GAAP net income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

            (1 ) Excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets resulting from
                 acquisition transactions. Purchased intangible assets are amortized
                 over three to five years.
            (2 ) Excludes amortization of other identified intangible assets
                 including trade names, customer relationships, and backlog resulting
                 from acquisition transactions. Other identified intangible assets
                 are amortized over one to five years. This line item also excludes
                 amortization of purchased intangible assets identified as part of
                 the fair value of the Frontline P.C.B. Solutions Limited Partnership
                 investment. The purchased technology will be amortized over three
                 years and other identified intangible assets will be amortized over
                 three to four years.
            (3 ) Excludes equity plan-related compensation expense for the fair value
                 of all share-based payments to employees for stock options and
                 restricted stock units, and purchases made as a result of the
                 employee stock purchase plans.
            (4 ) Excludes special charges consisting primarily of costs incurred for
                 employee rebalances (which includes severance benefits, notice pay
                 and outplacement services), facility closures, and acquisition costs.
            (5 ) Adjustment for fiscal 2013 reflects the amortization of original
                 issuance debt discount for our 4.00% Convertible Subordinated
                 Debentures due 2031.
            (6 ) Non-GAAP income tax expense adjustment reflects the application of
                 our assumed normalized effective 17% tax rate, instead of our GAAP
                 tax rate, to our non-GAAP pre-tax income.
            (7 ) Adjustment for the impact of amortization of intangible assets,
                 equity plan-related compensation expense and income tax expense on
                 noncontrolling interest.
