In addition to financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, this presentation will contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. Cadence management believes that in addition to using GAAP results in evaluating our business, it can also be useful to measure results using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with their most direct comparable GAAP financial results, including those set forth in our February 22, 2022 press release and our CFO Commentary for the quarter ended January 1, 2022, both of which can be found in the quarterly earnings section of the investor relations portion of our website at cadence.com.
