Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes financial measures for net income and net income per share that exclude certain non-cash and other charges and that have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. These measures differ from GAAP in that it excludes amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions and stock-based compensation and, in addition in 2006, a restructuring charge. The Company has provided these measurements in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes it provides a consistent basis for comparison between quarters that is not influenced by other activities and therefore are helpful to understanding the Company�s underlying operational results. Further, these non-GAAP measures are some of the primary measures the Company�s management uses for planning and forecasting. These measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP and these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to information provided by other companies. About Synplicity Synplicity�, Inc.

If the non-GAAP computation of net income was taxed at the rate the Company is projecting for the full year, the non-GAAP net income would have been $2.5 million, or $0.09 per share and $4.7 million, or $0.17 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. In 2005, the Company incurred minimal income tax expense principally due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits. *T -0- *T Operating Income (as a percentage of revenue) Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------- 2006 2005 ---------- --------- GAAP operating income 10% 13% Amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions 1% 1% Stock-based compensation expense (benefit) 6% (0)% ---------- --------- Non-GAAP operating income 17% 14% ========== ========= *T -0- *T Forward-Looking Net Income per Share Three Months Ending December 31, 2006 -------------------- GAAP net income per share $0.06-$0.08 Amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions $0.01 Restructuring charge $0.00 Stock-based compensation expense $0.03 -------------------- Non-GAAP net income per share $0.10-$0.12 ==================== *T
