# Cadence Design Systems: Business Model & Revenue Engine



## Direct Answer

Cadence Design Systems reports revenue across 2 product and service lines in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Productandmaintenance is the largest, with $4.8 billion of revenue (91% of the total), followed by Technology Service at $475 million (9%). 44% of revenue came from the United States.

## How Does Cadence Design Systems Make Money?

Productandmaintenance supplies 91% of revenue, so Cadence Design Systems's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Productandmaintenance grew fastest (+14.4%) and Technology Service slowest (+11.1%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Productandmaintenance while that gap lasts.

| Product or service | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Productandmaintenance | $4.8 billion | $4.2 billion | 91.0% | 14.4% |
| Technology Service | $475 million | $428 million | 9.0% | 11.1% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Cadence Design Systems's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Cadence Design Systems reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 19, 2026 (accession 0000813672-26-000016), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
