Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 23, 2012, Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) issued a press release and prepared remarks reporting financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. The press release and prepared remarks are furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

These exhibits shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Autodesk’s consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the press release and prepared remarks furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, provide investors with certain non-GAAP measures, including but not limited to historical non-GAAP net earnings and historical and future non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share. For our internal budgeting and resource allocation process, Autodesk’s management uses non-GAAP measures that do not include: (a) stock-based compensation expenses, (b) amortization of purchased intangibles and purchases of technology, (c) restructuring charges, (d) discrete tax items, and (e) the income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses. Autodesk’s management uses non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions because we believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Autodesk’s earning potential. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to our and our competitors’ historical results and operating guidance.

As described above, Autodesk excludes the following items from its non-GAAP measures:

A. Stock-based compensation expenses. Autodesk excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and management finds it useful to exclude certain non-cash charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.

B. Amortization of purchased intangibles and purchases of technology. Autodesk incurs amortization of acquisition-related purchased intangible assets, primarily in connection with its acquisition of certain businesses and technologies. The amortization of purchased intangibles varies depending on the level of acquisition activity, and management finds it useful to exclude these variable charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.

C. Restructuring charges. These expenses are associated with realigning our business strategies based on current economic conditions. In connection with these restructuring actions, we recognize costs related to termination benefits for former employees whose positions were eliminated, and the closure of facilities and cancelation of certain contracts. We exclude these charges because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the current period.

D. Discrete tax items. Autodesk excludes its GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from its non-GAAP measure of income, and includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon its projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to the Company’s ongoing operations.

E. Income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses. The income tax effects that are excluded from the non-GAAP measures relate to the tax impact on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses, primarily due to differences in the timing of when income tax benefits are recognized for stock compensation and purchased intangibles for GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

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. In addition, 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. Management compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our earnings release and prepared remarks. The presentation of non-GAAP financial 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. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the information regarding non-GAAP financial measures provided in our press release and prepared remarks.

“Our strong fourth quarter performance capped a terrific year for Autodesk,” said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. “We finished the year with another strong quarter of diversified revenue growth and increased profitability. Demand for our suites, AutoCAD, and AutoCAD LT products led to strong revenue growth across all of our geographies and record revenues in the Americas. We also achieved record revenue in both our Manufacturing and AEC business segments.”

“We’re proud of the strong revenue and profitability growth that we delivered in fiscal 2012,” continued Bass. “We made progress on all of our key initiatives including accelerating our cloud-based initiatives and launching our new design and creation suites, which we believe positions Autodesk for success in the future. We also unveiled our new PLM initiative. As we kick off fiscal 2013, we aim to delight our customers with our ever-improving product portfolio while delivering continued revenue and profitability growth.”

Fourth Quarter Operational Overview

EMEA revenue was $234 million, an increase of 10 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 8 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in the Americas was a record $226 million, an increase of 17 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $133 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 3 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies was $95 million, an increase of 12 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 14 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies represented 16 percent of total revenue in the fourth quarter.

Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment was $214 million, an increase of 18 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction business segment was a record $175 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment was a record $148 million, an increase of 11 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment was $55 million, an increase of 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year.

“Our strong fourth quarter results topped an excellent year of consistent performance and growth,” said Mark Hawkins, Autodesk executive vice president, chief financial officer. “We generated strong growth in revenue from commercial new licenses, record maintenance billings, and solid cash flow from operations. We achieved strong operating margin expansion in the quarter, driven by revenue growth and continued focus on cost controls. The operating margin growth was consistent with the growth we’ve been able to achieve over the past two years. With $1.6 billion in cash and marketable securities, no debt and a record deferred revenue balance, we ended the fiscal year with an exceptionally strong balance sheet.”

Business Outlook

The following statements are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and assumptions, and involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below. Autodesk’s business outlook for the first quarter and full year fiscal 2013 assumes a continuation of the current economic environment and foreign exchange currency rate environment.

First Quarter Fiscal 2013

1Q FY13 Guidance Metrics	1Q FY13 (ending April 30, 2012)
Revenue (in millions)	$575 to $590
EPS - GAAP	$0.29 to $0.31
EPS - Non-GAAP	$0.46 to $0.48

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclude $0.10 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.07 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of tax.

Full Year Fiscal 2013

Net revenue for fiscal 2013 is expected to increase by at least 10 percent compared to fiscal 2012. Autodesk anticipates fiscal 2013 GAAP operating margin to increase by approximately 130 basis points and non-GAAP operating margin to increase by approximately 200 basis points compared to fiscal 2012. A reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP estimates for fiscal 2013 is provided in the tables following this press release.

Both first quarter fiscal 2013 and full year fiscal 2013 outlooks assume an effective tax rate of approximately 26.5 percent for both GAAP and non-GAAP results. This rate does not include the federal R&D tax credit benefit, which expired on December 31, 2011. The assumed effective tax rate will be adjusted if or when there is a renewal of the tax credit.

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 revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, 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, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges, discrete tax provision items and related 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.

(a) Totals may not agree with the sum of the components due to rounding.
(b) Effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Autodesk changed the way it calculates constant currency growth rates and foreign currency impact on Total Net Revenue, and Cost of Revenue and Total Operating Expenses. Under the new methodology, all hedging gains and losses are removed from the calculation of constant currency growth rates, where previously Autodesk had not excluded hedging gains and losses from the prior period. Autodesk changed the way it calculates foreign currency impact on Total Net Revenue, and Cost of Revenue and Total Operating Expenses to include the impact of Autodesk's hedging program on both the current and prior period. Autodesk believes these changes are more useful to the users of Autodesk's financial information as they more fully reflect the underlying business growth rates and the impact of movements in foreign currency on Autodesk's U.S. dollar financial results. All prior period comparative information has been revised to conform to the new methodology.

(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 revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP total spend, 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, restructuring charges, amortization of purchased intangibles and related 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 Autodesk's press release.

Reconciliation for Fiscal 2013:

The following is a reconciliation of anticipated fiscal 2013 GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins:

GAAP operating margin basis point improvement over prior year		130
Stock-based compensation expense		110

Non-GAAP operating margin basis point improvement over prior year		200

Reconciliation for Long Term Operating Margins:

Autodesk is not able to provide targets for our long term (ending with fiscal year 2015) GAAP operating margins at this time because of the difficulty of estimating certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP that affect operating margin, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

Revenue in APAC was $133 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 3 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in APAC decreased 9 percent sequentially as reported and 9 percent on a constant currency basis. Year-over-year growth in APAC was diversified with strength in Southeast Asia, China and South Korea. The sequential decline in revenue from APAC was against a difficult compare in the third quarter, which benefited from a large deal.

Revenue from emerging economies was $95 million, an increase of 12 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 14 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies increased 9 percent sequentially as reported and 13 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue by Product Type

Revenue by Product Type 1		4Q 2011		1Q 2012		2Q 2012		3Q 2012		4Q 2012	FY 2012
Flagship	$	309	$	325	$	308	$	311	$	331	$	1,276
Suites	$	129	$	124	$	158	$	151	$	162	$	594
New and Adjacent	$	90	$	79	$	80	$	87	$	99	$	346

1 Revenue by Product Type for periods prior to 1Q 2012 have been presented to conform with the current presentation.

Revenue from Flagship products was $331 million and increased 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year, and 6 percent sequentially. Growth in Flagship was driven by strength in both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.

Revenue from Suites was $162 million, or 27 percent of total revenue. Revenue from Suites increased 25 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year, and 7 percent sequentially. Suites continue to gain acceptance globally led by growth in our AEC and Manufacturing suites. Suites revenue includes previously existing suites, such as our Inventor and Revit family suites, as well as recently launched design and creation suites.

Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $99 million and increased 11 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year, and 15 percent sequentially. Growth in New and Adjacent was driven by simulation, consumer, and consulting services.

As our customers migrate from our stand-alone products to Suites, we anticipate that our revenue from Suites will increase as a percentage of total revenue and that our revenue from our Flagship and New and Adjacent products will similarly decline as a percentage of total revenue.

Diluted Net Income Per Share - Non-GAAP	$	0.35		$	0.40		$	0.44		$	0.44		$	0.46		$	1.74

GAAP gross margin in the fourth quarter was 90 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin in the fourth quarter was 92 percent. The year-over-year decrease of both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin is primarily related to an increase in our consulting business costs. The expected sequential increase of both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin is primarily related to a seasonal increase in revenue including large deals.

GAAP operating expenses increased 9 percent year-over-year and 11 percent sequentially. Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 6 percent year-over-year and 11 percent sequentially. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses is primarily related to higher employee related costs and higher professional fees. The sequential increase in operating costs is related to seasonally higher sales commissions and employee related costs, as well as higher professional fees.

GAAP operating margin was 15 percent and increased 190 basis points compared to the fourth quarter last year. GAAP operating margin decreased 90 basis points sequentially.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 24 percent and increased 360 basis points compared to the fourth quarter last year. The year-over-year increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by increased revenue. Non-GAAP operating margin decreased 90 basis points sequentially. The sequential decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by a seasonal increase in sales commissions and employee related costs, as well as higher professional fees.

The fourth quarter effective tax rate was 23 percent for our GAAP results and 25 percent for our non-GAAP results.

Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter were $0.31 GAAP and $0.46 non-GAAP.

The share count used to compute basic net income per share was 226.1 million. The share count used to compute diluted net income per share was 231.5 million.

A complete reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the tables following these prepared remarks.

The foreign currency impact represents the U.S. Dollar impact of changes in foreign currency rates on our financial results as well as the impact of gains and losses from our hedging program.

Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates including the impact of our hedging program was $12 million favorable on revenue and $5 million unfavorable on cost of revenue and operating expenses.

Compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and hedging was $2 million unfavorable on revenue and $4 million favorable on expenses.

Total cash and investments at the end of the fourth quarter was approximately $1.6 billion. In the fourth quarter we closed 5 small business and technology acquisitions totaling close to $40 million (net of cash acquired).

During the fourth quarter, Autodesk used approximately $64 million to repurchase 2 million shares of common stock at an average price of $31.79 per share. For the full year, Autodesk used approximately $327 million to repurchase 9.7 million shares of common stock at an average repurchase price of $33.71 per share.

Cash flow from operating activities during the fourth quarter was $175 million, approximately flat compared to the fourth quarter last year and an increase of 27 percent sequentially.

Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 61 days, an increase of 6 days compared to the fourth quarter last year and 18 days sequentially. The year-over-year increase is primarily related to a shift in billings linearity. The sequential increase is primarily the result of seasonally strong maintenance billings and a shift in billings linearity.

Deferred revenue was a record $719 million, an increase of 22 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year and 16 percent sequentially. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to increased maintenance billings. The sequential increase is primarily related to seasonally higher maintenance billings and an increase in maintenance renewal rates.

Shippable backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $27 million, a decrease of $1 million compared to the fourth quarter last year and an increase of $5 million sequentially.

At the end of the fourth quarter, channel inventory was approximately 1 week. In fiscal 2013, Autodesk is making certain new licenses in most developed countries available through electronic delivery. In anticipation of this move, we initiated a plan to reduce inventory in the channel. Over the past two quarters, we reduced inventory in the channel by approximately $13 million in total. This phase of the initiative is now complete. Over time, we expect to phase in electronic delivery of new licenses in emerging countries as well.

Business Outlook

First Quarter Fiscal 2013

1Q FY13 Guidance Metrics	1Q FY13 (ending April 30, 2012)
Revenue (in millions)	$575 to $590
EPS - GAAP	$0.29 to $0.31
EPS - Non-GAAP	$0.46 to $0.48

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclude $0.10 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.07 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of tax.

The majority of the projected euro and yen denominated net revenue for our first quarter fiscal 2013 has been hedged, which should help reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our first quarter results. However, over an extended period of time, currency fluctuations will increasingly impact our results.

Full Year Fiscal 2013

Over an extended period of time, currency fluctuations will increasingly impact our results. We hedge our net exposures using a four quarter rolling layered hedge program. As such, a portion of the projected euro, yen, and Australian dollar denominated net revenue for our fiscal 2013 has been hedged. The closer to the current time period, the more we are hedged. See below for more details on our foreign currency hedging program.

Autodesk’s Foreign Currency Hedging Program and Calculation of Constant Currency Growth

Given the recent foreign exchange volatility, we would like to provide a brief summary of how we handle foreign currency exchange hedging as well as a description of how we calculate constant currency growth rates. A few points on our hedging program include:

●	We do not conduct foreign currency exchange hedging for speculative purposes. The purpose of our hedging program is to reduce risk from foreign denominated cash flows and to partially reduce variability that would otherwise impact our financial results from currency fluctuations.
●	We utilize cash flow hedges on revenue and certain operating expenses in major currencies. We hedge our net exposures using a four quarter rolling layered hedge. The closer to the current time period, the more we are hedged.
●	The major currencies we hedge include the euro, yen, pound sterling, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc. The euro is the primary exposure for the company.

When we report period-over-period growth rate percentages on a constant currency basis, we attempt to represent the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as eliminating hedge gains or losses recorded within the current and comparative period. However, when we calculate the foreign currency impact of exchange rates in the current and comparative period on our financial results (See table in above “Foreign Currency Impact” section) we include the U.S. Dollar impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as well as the impact of gains and losses recorded as a result of our hedging program.

(a) Totals may not agree with the sum of the components due to rounding.
(b) Effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Autodesk changed the way it calculates constant currency growth rates and foreign currency impact on Total Net Revenue, and Cost of Revenue and Total Operating Expenses. Under the new methodology, all hedging gains and losses are removed from the calculation of constant currency growth rates, where previously Autodesk had not excluded hedging gains and losses from the prior period. Autodesk changed the way it calculates foreign currency impact on Total Net Revenue, and Cost of Revenue and Total Operating Expenses to include the impact of Autodesk's hedging program on both the current and prior period. Autodesk believes these changes are more useful to the users of Autodesk's financial information as they more fully reflect the underlying business growth rates and the impact of movements in foreign currency on Autodesk's U.S. dollar financial results. All prior period comparative information has been revised to conform to the new methodology.

(a) Totals may not agree with the sum of the components due to rounding.

(b) Effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Autodesk changed the way it calculates constant currency growth rates and foreign currency impact on Total Net Revenue, and Cost of Revenue and Total Operating Expenses. Under the new methodology, all hedging gains and losses are removed from the calculation of constant currency growth rates, where previously Autodesk had not excluded hedging gains and losses from the prior period. Autodesk changed the way it calculates foreign currency impact on Total Net Revenue, and Cost of Revenue and Total Operating Expenses to include the impact of Autodesk's hedging program on both the current and prior period. Autodesk believes these changes are more useful to the users of Autodesk's financial information as they more fully reflect the underlying business growth rates and the impact of movements in foreign currency on Autodesk's U.S. dollar financial results. All prior period comparative information has been revised to conform to the new methodology.

Constant currency revenue growth			7	%			11	%			12	%			15	%			11	%

(c) Earnings per share were computed independently for each of the periods presented; therefore the sum of the earnings per share amounts for the quarters may not equal the total for the year.

(d) Prior amounts have been conformed to align with the current period presentation.

(e) Autodesk will no longer provide Maintenance Installed Base beginning in FY 13
