MENT reported revenue of $240.8 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of $.21, and GAAP earnings per share of $.16. During the quarter, the company continued its share buy-back, repurchasing 1.4 million shares for $20 million. Since the first fiscal quarter of 2012, the company has repurchased 8.2 million shares for $110 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRevenues and earnings were an all-time record for a second quarter, and bookings were at the second highest level for any second quarter in company history,\u201d said Walden C. Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. \u201cLike the whole electronic design automation industry, Mentor is benefiting from the transition to 20nm and 28nm which is driving significant design activity and resultant software demand. Additionally, the company\u2019s investments in system design, and non-traditional electronic design automation markets like embedded software, helped produce the strong results in the quarter. We are on track for record revenue and earnings for fiscal year 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the quarter, MENT announced collaborations with TSMC, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Samsung in advanced process nodes. Mentor also introduced a GENIVI 2.0-compliant, \u00a0Linux-based, in-vehicle infotainment solution. The company\u2019s Capital tool suite for transportation electrical systems design was accredited to IBM\u2019s \u201cReady for IBM Rational\u201d program. Mentor also introduced a unique, general-purpose software solution that combines onedimensional and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics\u2014the first result from the merged technologies made possible by the recent acquisition of Flowmaster Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased with our performance this quarter, beating our guidance by four cents. With continued focus on cost controls, 55% of incremental year-over-year revenues dropped through to operating income,\u201d said Gregory K. Hinckley, president of Mentor Graphics. \u201cA weak euro, a weak rupee, and a strong <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowfinance.com\/japanese-yen-jpy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yen<\/a> worked to our advantage. We reaffirm revenue guidance of $1.1 billion and are raising our earnings estimate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>MENT Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the full fiscal year 2013, the company reaffirms that it expects revenues of about $1.1 billion, and raises the outlook for non-GAAP earnings per share by $0.01 to approximately $1.38, and GAAP earnings per share by $0.03 to about $1.23. For the third fiscal quarter 2013, the company expects revenues of about $265 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of about $0.28, and GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.23.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Mentor Graphics &#8211; MENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mentor Graphics Corporation (MENT ) is a world leader in electronic hardware and software design solutions, providing products, consulting services and award-winning support for the world\u2019s most successful electronic, semiconductor and systems companies.
