Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 9, Regulation FD Disclosure and Item 12, Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 15, 2003, Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Cadence) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter of 2003. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The press release includes discussions of Cadences earnings per share on an adjusted pro forma basis (a non-GAAP financial measure), both on a historical basis and forward looking basis. Cadence calculates pro forma earnings per share by excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, amortization of deferred stock compensation, and unusual items. Cadence believes that excluding amortization of acquired intangibles and deferred stock compensation, write-offs of acquired in process technology and unusual items provides investors with a representation of the Companys core performance, and a pro forma base line for assessing the future earnings potential of the company.
The following exhibits are filed with this report on Form 8-K.
