Cadence 10-Q

Filing excerpt

Research and development expenses increased by $101.4 million, or 25%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $68.9 million increase in employee-related costs as a result of increased headcount to support our investment in our product roadmap and a $22.1 million increase in costs for development systems and cloud infrastructure.
