SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Magma Design Automation Inc. (Nasdaq:LAVA), a provider of chip design software, today reported record revenue of $55.7 million for its fiscal 2008 third quarter ended Jan. 6, 2008, an increase of 23.6 percent over the $45.1 million revenue reported for the year-ago third quarter, ended Dec. 31, 2006.
"In Q3 we delivered another quarter of record revenue, and we continued to see improved profitability and strong cash flow," said Rajeev Madhavan, chairman and CEO of Magma. "Our research and development teams continue to deliver capabilities for products serving both our traditional and new markets, maintaining a strong technology edge over our competitors."
GAAP Results
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Magma reported a net loss of $(5.9) million, or $(0.14) per share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to a net loss of $(13.6) million, or $(0.37) per share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Non-GAAP Results
Magma's non-GAAP net income was $7.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, or $0.16 per share (diluted), which compares to non-GAAP net income of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share (diluted), for the year-ago third quarter.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 excludes the effects of amortization of developed technology, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, legal settlement and other expenses, interest expense and amortization of debt issuance cost, debt discount accretion, charges associated with losses in equity investments, acquisition-related and other expenses, and the tax effects of these adjustments. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 excludes the effects of amortization of developed technology, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred stock-based compensation, in-process research and development charges, acquisition-related expenses, charges associated with losses in equity investments and the tax effects of these adjustments. A reconciliation of Magma's non-GAAP results to GAAP results is included in this press release.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2008 Magma generated cash from operations of approximately $14.1 million.
Business Outlook
For Magma's fiscal 2008 fourth quarter, ending April 6, 2008, the company expects total revenue in the range of $56 million to $58 million. GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.25) to $(0.23) and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) is expected to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.17. GAAP Operating Loss is expected to be in the range of (13.0) percent to (10.0) percent, and Non-GAAP Operating Margin is expected to be in the range of 16 percent to 18 percent. A schedule showing a reconciliation of the projected non-GAAP EPS to GAAP EPS results is included in this release. For Magma's fiscal year 2008, ending April 6, 2008, the company increased its expected revenue growth rate over fiscal 2007 to a range of 21 percent to 22 percent, with an expected revenue range of $215 million to $217 million. For Magma's fiscal year 2008, the company also decreased its expected GAAP net loss per share to a range of $(0.84) to $(0.82) and increased its expected non-GAAP EPS to a range of $0.56 to $0.58. A Financial Data Supplement containing detailed financial information intended to provide guidance and further insight into Magma's business is available online at http://investor.magma-da.com/supplement.cfm in the Investor Relations section of the Magma website.
GAAP Reconciliation
Magma provides non-GAAP financial information to assist investors in assessing its current and future operations in the way that Magma's management evaluates those operations. Magma believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to investors by excluding the effect of some expenses that are required to be recorded under GAAP but that Magma believes are not indicative of Magma's core operating results, or that are expected to be incurred over a limited period of time.
Magma's management evaluates and makes operating decisions about its business operations primarily based on bookings, revenue and the core costs of those business operations. Management believes that the amortization of developed technology and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, in-process research and development charges, litigation settlement and related legal expenses, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, workforce realignment restructuring charges, expenses associated with lease amendment and related headquarters office relocation, net gain on exchange of convertible notes, debt discount accretion, and the tax effects of its non-GAAP adjustments (yielding a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 25.0 percent for fiscal 2008) and other significant unusual items are not operating costs of its core software and service business operations. Therefore, management presents non-GAAP financial measures, along with GAAP measures, in this earnings release by excluding these items from the period expenses. The income statement line items affected are as follows: (1) cost of revenue, licenses; (2) cost of revenue, bundled licenses and services; (3) cost of revenue, services; (4) total cost of revenue; (5) gross profit; (6) operating expenses, research and development; (7) operating expenses, sales and marketing; (8) operating expenses, general and administrative; (9) operating expenses, amortization of intangible assets; (10) operating expenses, in-process research and development; (11) total operating expenses; (12) operating loss; (13) interest expense; (14) other income (expense), net; (15) total other income (expense), net; (16) net loss before income taxes; (17) provision for income taxes; (18) net loss before cumulative effect of change in accounting principles; (19) cumulative effect of change in accounting principles; (20) net loss; and (21) net loss per share. To determine its non-GAAP provision for income taxes, Magma recalculates tax based on non-GAAP income before income taxes and adjusts accordingly.
For each such non-GAAP financial measure, the adjustment provides management with information about Magma's underlying operating performance that enables a more meaningful comparison of its financial results in different reporting periods. For example, since Magma does not undertake significant restructuring or realignments on a predictable cycle, management would have difficulty evaluating Magma's profitability as measured by gross profit, operating profit, income before taxes and net income on a period-to-period basis unless it excluded these charges. Similarly, since Magma does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, management excludes acquisition-related charges, such as in-process research and development charges, in order to make more consistent and meaningful evaluations of Magma's operating expenses. Management also uses these measures to help it make budgeting decisions between those expenses that affect operating expenses and operating margin (such as research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses), and those expenses that affect cost of revenue and gross margin (such as product development expenses).
Further, the availability of non-GAAP financial information helps management track actual performance relative to financial targets, including both internal targets and publicly announced targets. Making this non-GAAP financial information available also helps investors compare Magma's performance with the announced operating results of its principal competitors, which regularly provide similar non-GAAP financial information.
Management recognizes that the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations, including the fact that management must exercise judgment in determining whether some types of charges, such as those relating to workforce reductions executed in the ordinary course of business, should be excluded from non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes, however, that providing this non-GAAP financial information facilitates consistent comparison of Magma's financial performance over time. Magma has historically provided non-GAAP results to the investment community, not as an alternative but as a supplement to GAAP information, to enable investors to evaluate Magma's core operating performance in the way that management does.
