Autodesk Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2009 Revenue of $599 Million

May 15, 2008

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK) today reported revenue of $599 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 18 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008. First quarter net income was $95 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $117 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis. Net income in the first quarter of the prior year was $83 million, or $0.34 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $107 million, or $0.44 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.

"Fiscal 2009 is off to a good start with our solid first quarter results," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "International markets, especially emerging economies, continue to underpin our overall revenue growth. We also continue to experience strong growth of our 3D products. Autodesk continues to drive innovative design technologies into a variety of industries - architecture, engineering, manufacturing, media and entertainment - and we will continue to work hard to shape the evolution of industry design trends such as Digital Prototyping and Building Information Modeling."

Operational Highlights

In addition to favorable currency exchange rates, Autodesk's performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was driven by revenue from new seats, continued customer adoption of our 3D design solutions, and strong revenue growth in emerging economies.

Revenue from the emerging economies increased 41 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $101 million and represented 17 percent of total revenue.

The outstanding growth in emerging economies led to strong performance in our EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. EMEA revenue was $259 million, an increase of 25 percent as reported over the first quarter of fiscal 2008, and 11 percent at constant currency. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $149 million, an increase of 27 percent as reported year-over-year, and 18 percent at constant currency. Faced with continued economic headwinds, revenue in the Americas increased 4 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $191 million, as expected.

Combined revenue from the Company's model-based 3D products, Inventor, Revit, Civil 3D, NavisWorks, and Robobat, increased 37 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $146 million and comprised 24 percent of total revenue. Autodesk shipped approximately 35,000 commercial seats of its model- based 3D design products, including 11,500 commercial seats of Inventor and 24,000 seats of its Architecture, Engineering and Construction products - Revit, Civil 3D, and NavisWorks. In addition, revenue from 2D vertical products increased 16 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Revenue from new seats increased by 23 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue combined increased 16 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $228 million. Maintenance revenue increased 33 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $167 million, or 28 percent of total revenue. Deferred maintenance revenue increased $40 million sequentially and $130 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As expected, total upgrade revenue decreased 14 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Business Outlook

The following statements are forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and which involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below. On May 1, 2008, Autodesk announced its intent to acquire Moldflow Corporation. Moldflow financials are not included in the following numbers.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2009

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $600 million and $610 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share are now expected to be in the range of $0.40 and $0.42. This is slightly lower than our prior projection due to additional stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.52 and $0.54 and exclude $0.09 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.03 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2009

Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $605 million and $620 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.42 and $0.45. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.53 and $0.56 and exclude $0.09 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.02 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

Full Year Fiscal 2009

For fiscal year 2009, net revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.45 billion and $2.50 billion. Full year GAAP earnings per diluted share are now expected to be in the range of $1.78 and $1.88. This is slightly lower than our prior projection due to additional stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are still expected to be in the range of $2.20 and $2.30 and exclude $0.32 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.10 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

    Autodesk, Inc.
    Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures
    (In millions, except per share data)

    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, non-GAAP interest
    and other income, net 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, investment
    impairment 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.

    The following table shows Autodesk's non-GAAP results reconciled to GAAP
    results included in this release.

    (1) Totals may not agree with the sum of the components due to rounding.
    (2) 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, non-GAAP interest
     and other income, net 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, investment
     impairment 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.
