Magma Reports Revenue of $31.0 Million for Third Quarter -- Exceeds All Financial Guidance
GlobeNewswire
2010-02-26


SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magma(R) Design
Automation Inc. (Nasdaq:LAVA), a provider of chip design software,
today reported revenue of $31.0 million for its fiscal 2010 third
quarter ended Jan. 31, 2010, above the company's guidance range of
$29.5 million to $30.0 million. Third-quarter revenue increased 1
percent from the $30.7 million reported for the year-ago third quarter
ended Feb. 1, 2009.

"Magma performed very well in the third quarter, continuing a string of
quarters where we beat our revenue guidance and generated cash," said
Rajeev Madhavan, Magma chairman and CEO. "Our products in physical
verification, circuit simulation and analog/mixed-signal design are
showing good momentum that we believe position us for significant
bookings growth."

GAAP Results

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
Magma reported a net loss of $(2.6) million, or $(0.05) per share
(basic and diluted), for the third quarter, compared to a net loss of
$(77.8) million, or $(1.72) per share (basic and diluted), for the
year-ago third quarter.

Non-GAAP Results

Magma's non-GAAP net income was $2.0 million for the third quarter, or
$0.04 per share (basic and diluted), which compares to a non-GAAP net
loss of $(4.3) million, or $(0.09) per share (basic and diluted), for
the year-ago third quarter.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 excludes the
effects of amortization of developed technology, amortization of
intangible assets, amortization of stock-based compensation,
amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discount and premium
accretion, charges associated with losses on equity investments and
other investments, restructuring charges and the related provision for
income taxes. Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2009
excludes the effects of amortization of developed technology,
amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred stock-based
compensation, amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discount
accretion, charges associated with losses on equity investments,
restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, acquisition-related
expenses and the related provision for income taxes. A reconciliation
of our non-GAAP results to GAAP results is included in this press
release.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Magma generated cash flow from
operations of approximately $4.0 million.

Business Outlook

For Magma's fiscal 2010 fourth quarter, ending May 2, 2010, the company
expects total revenue in the range of $32.5 million to $33.0 million.
GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.09) to
$(0.08) and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) are expected to be in the
range of $0.03 to $0.04. For Magma's fiscal year 2010, ending May 2,
2010, the company expects total revenue in the range of $122.0 million
to $122.5 million, compared to the previous guidance range of $120.0
million to $125.0 million. A Financial Data Supplement containing
additional fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2010 guidance, as well
as detailed financial information intended to provide guidance and
further insight into our business, is available online 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 provides useful information 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, amortization of intangible
assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt issuance costs,
debt discount and premium accretion, charges associated with losses on
equity investments and other investments, restructuring charges, asset
impairment charges, acquisition-related expenses and the related
provision for income taxes, 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) operating
expenses, research and development; (5) operating expenses, sales and
marketing; (6) operating expenses, general and administrative; (7)
operating expenses, amortization of intangible assets; (8) operating
expenses, restructuring charge; (9) interest expense; (10) valuation
gain (loss), net; (11) other income (expense), net; (12) provision for
income taxes and (13) net income (loss) per share.

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 acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, management excludes
acquisition-related charges, such as in-process research and
development charges, to make more consistent and meaningful evaluations
of Magma's operating expenses. Similarly, 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. 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 stock-based
compensation relating to stock grants and acquisition-related charges,
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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the "safe harbor" provision of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include
statements in the "Business Outlook" section and in quotations from
Magma's management. These forward-looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from Magma's current expectations. Factors that could cause
or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the
substantial amount of Magma's indebtedness, which could adversely
affect our financial position; customer payment defaults, which may
cause us to be unable to recognize revenue from backlog, and changes in
the type of orders comprising backlog, which could affect the
proportion of revenue recognized from backlog each quarter, both of
which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and results of operations; and doubt over our ability to continue as a
going concern. We rely on a small number of customers for a significant
portion of our revenue, and our revenue could decline if customers
delay orders or fail to renew licenses or if we are unable to maintain
or develop relationships with current or potential customers; we
compete against companies that hold a large share of the EDA market and
competition is increasing among EDA vendors as customers tightly
control their EDA spending and use fewer vendors to meet their needs.
If we cannot compete successfully, we will not gain market share and
our revenue could decline. Other factors may include
weaker-than-anticipated sales of Magma's products and services;
weakness in the semiconductor or electronic systems industries; a
potential failure of customers to adopt, or to adopt at a sufficiently
fast rate, 65-nanometer and smaller design geometries on a large scale;
Magma's ability to integrate acquired businesses and technologies;
potentially higher-than-anticipated costs of litigation; potentially
higher-than-anticipated costs of compliance with regulatory
requirements, including those relating to internal control over
financial reporting; the ability to manage expanding operations; the
ability to attract and retain the key management and technical
personnel needed to operate Magma successfully; the ability to continue
to deliver competitive products to customers;and changes in accounting
rules. Further discussion of these and other potential risk factors may
be found in Magma's public filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (www.sec.gov), including its Form 10-Q for the fiscal
quarter ended Nov. 1, 2009. Magma undertakes no additional obligation
to update these forward-looking statements.
