SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 28, 2025 -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today reported results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $1.604 billion, compared to $1.455 billion for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.

"We delivered a strong quarter, which demonstrates the mission-critical nature of our products and the resiliency of our business," said Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys. "The mega trends of AI, software-defined systems, and silicon proliferation continue to drive our growth. These trends are increasing design complexity and costs, while also increasing compute performance and energy demands. Synopsys is a trusted partner in addressing these challenges and a leader in applying AI to help customers innovate faster."

"In a dynamic macro environment, Synopsys continues to execute with strong Q2 results on the top and bottom line," said Shelagh Glaser, CFO of Synopsys. "We're poised to deliver a solid second half, and we're reaffirming our full-year revenue and operating margin guidance, reflecting our confidence in the business and continued healthy demand for our products."

Continuing Operations 
On September 30, 2024, Synopsys completed the sale of its Software Integrity business. Unless otherwise noted, Synopsys' Software Integrity business has been presented as a discontinued operation in the Synopsys' consolidated financial statements for all periods presented herein and all financial results and targets are presented herein on a continuing operations basis.

GAAP Results
On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $349.2 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, compared to $299.1 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.

Non-GAAP Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $572.7 million, or $3.67 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $466.9 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.

For a reconciliation of net income, earnings per diluted share and other measures on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, see "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" in the accompanying tables below.

Business Segments 
Synopsys reports revenue and operating income in two segments: (1) Design Automation, which includes our advanced silicon design, verification products and services, system integration products and services, digital, custom and field programmable gate array IC design software, verification software and hardware products, manufacturing software products and other and (2) Design IP, which includes our interface, foundation, security, and embedded processor IP, IP subsystems, and IP implementation services.

Financial Targets
Synopsys also provided its consolidated financial targets for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2025. These targets reflect a change in Synopsys' fiscal year from a 52/53-week period ending on the Saturday nearest to October 31 of each year to October 31 of each year. As a result of this change, there will be ten fewer days in the first half of fiscal year 2025 and two extra days in the second half of fiscal year 2025, which results in eight fewer days in the aggregate in Synopsys' fiscal year 2025 as compared to its fiscal year 2024. These targets also assume no further changes to export control restrictions or the current U.S. government "Entity List" restrictions. These targets constitute forward-looking statements and are based on current expectations. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these targets, see "Forward-Looking Statements" below.
