Autodesk Reports Record Revenues of $526 Million

Aug 16, 2007
Raises Revenue and Earnings Guidance for Fiscal 2008

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK) today reported record quarterly revenues of $526 million, an increase of 17 percent over the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Second quarter net income was $92 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $108 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis. Net income in the second quarter of the prior year was $87 million, or $0.36 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $96 million, or $0.39 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.

"During the second quarter, we executed extremely well -- driving widespread adoption of our 3D and 2D tools, continuing to increase new seat revenue, and increasing sales and emerging economies," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "We have been able to grow significantly by addressing our customers' competitive challenges. Our numbers demonstrate that we continue to win market share as our revenues have increased significantly faster than our competitors. As a result, we are again raising our guidance for fiscal 2008, to reflect our confidence in our financial performance for the remainder of the fiscal year."

Operational Highlights

Autodesk's performance in the second quarter was driven by strong increases in revenue from model-based 3D and 2D vertical design products, revenue in the emerging economies, and revenue from new seats.

The Company's model-based 3D products and 2D vertical products continue to increase their market penetration. As expected, the changes in dealer incentives implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 are increasing focus on selling model-based 3D and 2D vertical products.

Combined revenues from the Company's model-based 3D products, Inventor, Revit and Civil 3D software, increased 34 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $122 million and comprised 23 percent of total revenues. In total, Autodesk shipped more than 39,000 commercial seats of 3D in the quarter including 21,000 seats of Revit, 11,000 seats of Inventor and 7,200 seats of Civil 3D. Revenues from 2D vertical products increased 22 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Once again, emerging economies contributed robust growth in revenues. Revenues from the emerging economies in Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America increased 37 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $82 million and represented 15 percent of total revenues.

Revenues from new seats increased by 17 percent compared to the second quarter of last year. Revenues from new seats of Revit and AutoCAD Mechanical were particularly strong, increasing 56 percent and 54 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of last year.

Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue from subscriptions combined increased 16 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $178 million. Maintenance revenue from subscriptions increased 27 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $132 million. Deferred maintenance revenue from subscription increased $12 million sequentially and $100 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Total upgrade revenues decreased 7 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007, as expected. Crossgrade revenue, which is included in total upgrade revenue, increased 29 percent over the second quarter of last year.

    Autodesk, Inc.
    Non-GAAP Results Disclosure
    (In millions)


    To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP
    basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures
    including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP
    cost of license and other revenues, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
    operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP
    provision for income taxes.  These non-GAAP financial measures are
    adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including
    stock based compensation expense, employee tax reimbursements related to
    our stock option review, litigation expenses, in-process research and
    development expenses, restructuring expenses, amortization of purchased
    intangibles, and income tax expenses.  See our reconciliation of GAAP
    financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures herein.  We believe
    these exclusions are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of
    our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future, as
    well as to facilitate comparisons with our historical operating results.
    These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of
    providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of
    Autodesk's underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace
    performance.  For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our
    baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are
    considered by management to be outside our core operating results.  In
    addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary
    indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of
    future periods.

    There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the
    non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP
    financial measures used by other companies.  The non-GAAP financial
    measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may
    have a material impact upon our reported financial results.  The
    presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered
    in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial
    measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles in the United States.  Investors should review the
    reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
    comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying
    this press release.

    (1) To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a
    GAAP basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures
    including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP
    cost of license and other revenues, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
    operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP provision
    for income taxes.  These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to
    exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including stock based
    compensation expense, employee tax reimbursements related to our stock
    option review, litigation expenses, in-process research and development
    expenses, restructuring expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles,
    and income tax expenses.  See our reconciliation of GAAP financial
    measures to non-GAAP financial measures herein.  We believe these
    exclusions are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our
    past financial performance and also our prospects for the future, as well
    as to facilitate comparisons with our historical operating results.  These
    adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both
    management and investors a more complete understanding of Autodesk's
    underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance.
    For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline
    performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by
    management to be outside our core operating results.  In addition, these
    non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management
    uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods.

    There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the
    non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP
    financial measures used by other companies.  The non-GAAP financial
    measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may
    have a material impact upon our reported financial results.  The
    presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered
    in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial
    measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles in the United States.  Investors should review the
    reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
    comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying
    this press release.
