Synopsys has today revealed results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2012. For the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, Synopsys reported revenue of $443.7 million, compared to $386.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, an increase of 14.8 percent.

Our business is strong, reflected in the excellent results we delivered in the third quarter, said Aart de Geus, chairman and co-CEO of Synopsys. We see our customers continuing to drive design aggressively, even in the context of an uncertain economy. The electronic design automation and IP industries are increasing in importance, and Synopsys in particular is well-positioned to accelerate innovation due to its combination of financial strength, technology leadership, global support, and strategic vision.
