WILSONVILLE, ORMentor Graphics today said third-quarter revenue would likely fall some $15 million short of previous guidance. The EDA software company expects revenues of approximately $185 million, versus guidance of $200 million.

The company cited unique circumstances brought on by several large bookings, which caused revenue to lag bookings by a quarter. The company said sales would be made up in the following quarter.
