Synopsys, a leader in silicon design and verification, reported a robust financial performance for the quarter ended April 30, 2024. The company saw a significant 15% year-on-year increase in revenue, reaching $1.5 billion, driven by growth across all products and geographies. Operating income rose by 14% to $332.1 million, while net income from continuing operations attributed to Synopsys climbed to $299.1 million, up from $275.6 million in the same period last year. The diluted net income per share for continuing operations was $1.92, compared to $1.78 in the previous year. Synopsys' business development has been marked by the successful litigation against the Hungarian Tax Authority, resulting in a refund of $39.1 million, and the anticipation of the Ansys Merger, valued at approximately $35.0 billion. The company is also subject to the new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax but does not expect an impact in fiscal 2024. Looking ahead, Synopsys plans to continue its growth strategy by maintaining leadership in Design Automation products, expanding Design IP offerings, and executing its acquisition strategy, including the pending acquisition of Ansys.
