In addition to its major Hexagon Design purchase, Cadence spent $107 million on two other undisclosed acquisitions during the quarter. This demonstrates an aggressive M&A strategy and creates further need for integration services, IT consolidation, and HR systems alignment across multiple newly acquired entities.
Filing excerpt
