                     SYNOPSYS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

   PRO FORMA REVENUE AND EARNINGS SURGE 13% AND 75%, EXCLUDING UNUSUAL ITEMS.
                 MERGER WITH EVEREST DESIGN AUTOMATION COMPLETED


MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA. JANUARY 20, 1999 - Synopsys, Inc., today reported its
first quarter 1999 results for the period ending December 31, 1998.

Revenue was $180.2 million, compared with pro forma revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 of $159.0 million, an increase of 13%. Net income for the
first quarter was $40.4 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with pro forma net
income of $21.8 million, or $0.32 per share. This represents a pro forma net
income and earnings per share growth of 85% and 75%, respectively. These pro
forma amounts exclude the results of the PCB/Systems business of Viewlogic
Systems and unusual charges.

Revenue for the first quarter was $180.2 million, compared with $174.2 million
for the same period last year without adjusting for the Viewlogic divestiture
and unusual items, an increase of 3%. Net income for the first quarter was $40.4
million or $0.56 per share, compared with a net loss of $6.6 million, or $0.10
loss per share for the first quarter of 1998.

"I'm pleased to report another quarterly increase in Synopsys' earnings and
revenue," commented Dr. Aart de Geus, chairman and CEO of the company. We are
excited about the scope of business opportunities we see for this upcoming
quarter as customers prepare for a new wave of investment in EDA tools."

During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, Synopsys merged with Everest Design
Automation, Inc., a privately held developer of integrated circuit routing
software and related technology. The business combination with Everest Design
Automation was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The company's condensed
consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect this business
combination.
