21 February 07, 2023; Synopsys, Inc. reaches scale for AI-driven chip designs as major semiconductor customers register the first 100 commercial tape-outs with the company's award-winning Synopsys DSO.ai™ autonomous design system. Recent customers, including STMicroelectronics and SK hynix, have all seen significant uplifts in productivity and PPA, and are now charting a new design course using reinforcement learning-enabled design tools on cloud and on-premise.
22
23
24 By using Synopsys DSO.ai (Design Space Optimization AI) the companies are setting a blistering pace for the development of advanced-node chips through the key design phases. Results from customers since the launch of Synopsys DSO.ai speak for themselves: more than 3x productivity increases, up to 25% lower total power and significant reduction in die size, with reduced use of overall resources.
25
26
27 STMicroelectronics (ST), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, is using cloud-based versions of DSO.ai to generate extra momentum on the most intensive design phases. STMicroelectronics taped-out using Synopsys DSO.ai coupled with Synopsys Fusion Compiler™ and Synopsys IC Compiler™ II physical implementation tools.

33 = Financial Highlights =
34
35 Revenues were $5.1 billion, an increase of $877.3 million or 21%, due to higher revenue resulting from growth across all products and geographies.
36
37
38 Total cost of revenue and operating expenses were $3.9 billion, an increase of $450.1 million or 13%, primarily due to increases of $379.2 million in employee-related costs resulting from headcount increases through organic growth and acquisitions.
39
40
41 The increase in cost of revenue for fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 was primarily due to $102.7 million in employee-related costs as a result of headcount increases from organic growth and acquisitions, $51.7 million in hardware-related costs, $18.4 million in amortization of technology-related intangible assets, $16.4 million in costs to fulfill IP consulting arrangements, and $12.7 million in facility costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $11.5 million in the fair value of its executive deferred compensation plan assets.
42
43
44 Operating income was $1.2 billion, an increase of $427.2 million or 58%, as revenue growth exceeded the growth in costs and expenses.
45
46
47 As of October 31, 2022, the company held $1.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The company also held $2.3 million in restricted cash primarily associated with deposits for office leases. The company's cash equivalents consisted primarily of taxable money market mutual funds, time deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

102 **EDA**
103
104 Designing ICs involves many complex steps, including, among others architecture definition, register transfer level (RTL) design, functional/RTL verification, logic design or synthesis, gate-level verification, floorplanning, place and route, and physical verification. Designers use its EDA products to automate the IC design process, reduce errors and enable more powerful and robust designs.
105
106
107 **IP and System Integration**
108
109 IP Products - the number of third-party IP blocks incorporated into designs is rapidly increasing. The company provide the broadest, most comprehensive portfolio of high quality, silicon-proven IP solutions for SoCs. The company offer a broad portfolio of IP that has been optimized to address specific application requirements for the mobile, automotive, digital home, Internet of things, and cloud computing markets, enabling designers to quickly develop SoCs in these areas.
