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.

"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."

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.
