Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Use of estimates | Use of Estimates Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comparability | Comparability Effective the first day of fiscal 2019, Cadence adopted multiple new accounting standards. Prior periods were not retrospectively restated, so the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2019 was prepared using accounting standards that were different than those in effect as of December 29, 2018. Therefore, the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 are not directly comparable.
Recently adopted accounting standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“Topic 842”), which requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The most prominent of the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Cadence adopted the new standard on December 30, 2018, the first day of fiscal 2019, and used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. Cadence elected certain practical expedients, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification and classification. Adoption of the standard resulted in the balance sheet recognition of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $80 million; however, the adoption of the standard did not have an impact on Cadence’s beginning retained earnings, results from operations or cash flows. Additionally, the new standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for arrangements in which Cadence is the lessor. For additional information regarding Cadence’s leases, see Note 6 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Tax Effects within Accumulated Other Comprehensive income In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which allows a reclassification of the income tax effects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This standard became effective for Cadence on December 30, 2018, the first day of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Cadence’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Leases of lessee | Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Fair value of financial instruments | Inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect Cadence’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
• | Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
• | Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
• | Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of Cadence’s 2024 Notes are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For additional information relating to Cadence’s debt arrangements, see Note 2 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. This hierarchy requires Cadence to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. Cadence recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial instruments at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 28, 2019.
Contingencies | At least quarterly, Cadence reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount or the range of loss can be estimated, Cadence accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based on Cadence’s judgments using the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, Cadence reassesses the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation matters and may revise estimates.
