Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITION Acquisition of VLAB Works On May 29, 2025, Cadence acquired all of the outstanding equity of a holding company containing the VLAB Works business (“VLAB Works”). The aggregate purchase consideration for Cadence’s acquisition of VLAB Works, net of cash acquired of $5.2 million, was $122.1 million. The addition of VLAB Works’ technologies and talent is intended to accelerate Cadence’s Intelligent System Design™ strategy by enhancing system verification full flow, while strengthening its capabilities in virtual and hybrid pre-silicon software validation. In connection with the acquisition of VLAB Works, Cadence paid an additional, immaterial amount to a third-party escrow agent that will be released to a former VLAB Works shareholder, subject to continued employment with Cadence, through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The release of these funds is subject to continuous service and other conditions and is accounted for over the required service period as post-acquisition compensation expense in Cadence’s consolidated income statements. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with Cadence’s acquisition of VLAB Works based on their respective fair values on the acquisition date as follows:
| Fair Value
| (In thousands)
Current assets | $ | 8,692 |
Goodwill | 94,247 |
Acquired intangibles | 27,700 |
Other long-term assets | 1,495 |
Total assets acquired | 132,134 |
Current liabilities | 3,852 |
Long-term liabilities | 898 |
Total liabilities assumed | 4,750 |
Total purchase consideration | $ | 127,384 |
The recorded goodwill is attributed to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including the acquired assembled workforce, and is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. Definite-lived intangible assets acquired with Cadence’s acquisition of VLAB Works were as follows:
| Fair Value |  | Weighted Average Amortization Period
| (In thousands) |  | (in years)
Existing technology | $ | 18,300 |  |  | 6.0 years
Agreements and relationships | 9,000 |  |  | 7.0 years
Tradenames, trademarks and patents | 400 |  |  | 3.0 years
Total acquired intangibles with definite lives | $ | 27,700 |  |  | 6.2 years
As of June 30, 2025, t he allocation of purchase consideration to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities from VLAB Works was preliminary. Cadence will continue to evaluate the estimates and assumptions used to derive the fair value of certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities, primarily related to income taxes, during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The allocation of purchase consideration may change materially as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. Pro Forma Financial Information Cadence has not presented pro forma financial information for VLAB Works because the results of operations are not material to Cadence’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Acquisition-Related Transaction Costs Transaction costs associated with acquisitions, which consist of professional fees and administrative costs, are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense in Cadence’s condensed consolidated income statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, transaction costs associated with acquisitions were $4.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, transaction costs associated with acquisitions were $3.4 million and $12.3 million, respectively.
