Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On May 16, 2013, Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) issued a press release and prepared remarks reporting financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2013.  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) gains and losses on strategic investments, (e) discrete tax items, and (f) 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 management finds it useful to exclude these charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses and 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 and 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 cancellation of certain contracts. We exclude these charges because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the current period.

D. Gains and losses on strategic investments. Autodesk excludes gains and losses related to our strategic investments from its non-GAAP measures primarily because management finds it useful to exclude these variable gains and losses on these investments in assessing our financial results. Included in these amounts are non-cash unrealized gains and losses on the derivative components, realized gains and losses on the sale or losses on the impairment of these investments.
 
E. Discrete tax items. Autodesk excludes its GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the non-GAAP measure of income, and includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. Discrete tax items include income tax expenses or benefits that do not relate to ordinary income from continuing operations in the current fiscal year, unusual or infrequently occurring items, or the tax impact of certain stock-based compensation. Examples of discrete tax items include, but are not limited to, certain changes in judgment and changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years, certain costs related to business combinations, certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets or changes in tax law. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations.

F. 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 stock-based compensation, purchased intangibles and restructuring 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.

AUTODESK REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS


SAN RAFAEL, Calif., MAY 16, 2013-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
 
First Quarter Fiscal 2014

Revenue was $570 million, a decrease of 3 percent, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as reported and flat on a constant currency basis.

GAAP operating margin was 14 percent, compared to 16 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP operating margin decreased by approximately 60 basis points to 24 percent, compared with 25 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.

GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.24, compared to $0.34 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.42, compared to $0.47 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Deferred revenue increased 17 percent to a record $851 million, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Cash flow from operating activities was a record $224 million, compared to $139 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

"A mixed global economy weighed heavily on our first quarter results," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO.  "There were positive areas in the quarter but overall, a weak April led to a disappointing finish to the quarter.  While the global macroeconomic conditions are uneven, we remain focused on revenue growth by delivering the best design solutions to our customers."

First Quarter Operational Overview

EMEA revenue decreased 4 percent to $216 million compared to the first quarter last year as reported and increased 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in the Americas decreased 3 percent to $202 million compared to the first quarter last year as reported. Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased 3 percent to $152 million compared to the first quarter last year as reported and increased 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies decreased 8 percent to $75 million compared to the first quarter last year as reported and 6 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies represented 13 percent of total revenue in the first quarter.

Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment decreased 6 percent to $213 million compared to the first quarter last year. Revenue from the AEC business segment increased 4 percent to $172 million compared to the first quarter last year. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment decreased 4 percent to $139 million compared to the first quarter last year. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment decreased 8 percent to $47 million compared to the first quarter last year.

Revenue from Flagship products decreased 9 percent to $312 million compared to the first quarter last year. Revenue from Suites increased 8 percent to $176 million compared to the first quarter last year. Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $82 million, flat compared to the first quarter last year.

Deferred revenue at the end of the first quarter was a record $851 million, an increase of 17 percent compared to the first quarter last year.

"We achieved strong deferred revenue and subscription billings growth, and record cash flow from operations in the first quarter," said Mark Hawkins, Autodesk executive vice president and CFO. "Our performance in the first quarter and a global economy that continues to be uneven, have led us to reconsider our fiscal year 2014 outlook. While our near-term targets are lower, we remain committed to driving long-term revenue growth and operating margin expansion as we balance our ongoing cost controls with key investments in our business."

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 second quarter and full year fiscal 2014 assumes, among other things, a continuation of the current economic environment and foreign exchange currency rate environment, and interest expense related to Autodesk's $750 million debt offering in December 2012.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2014

2Q FY14 Guidance Metrics
Q2 FY14 (ending July 31, 2013)
Revenue (in millions)
$550 - $570
EPS GAAP
$0.21 - $0.26
EPS Non-GAAP
$0.39 - $0.44

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclude $0.11 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.06 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and $0.01 for restructuring, net of tax.

Full Year Fiscal 2014

Net revenue for fiscal 2014 is now expected to increase by approximately 3 percent compared to fiscal 2013. Autodesk now anticipates fiscal 2014 GAAP operating margin to increase approximately 360 to 410 basis points and non-GAAP operating margin to increase approximately 50 to 100 basis points compared to fiscal 2013.  A reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP estimates for fiscal 2014 is provided in the tables following this press release.

Both second quarter fiscal 2014 and full year fiscal 2014 outlooks assume annual effective tax rates of approximately 24 percent and approximately 25.5 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively.

These rates do not include one-time discrete items but do reflect the recently enacted extension of the federal R&D tax credit benefit through December 31, 2013.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements in the paragraph under “Business Outlook” above, statements regarding future products, revenue and profitability, and other statements regarding our expected results of cost control measures, strategies, market and products positions, performance, and results.

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 cost of license and other revenue, non-GAAP cost of subscription revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP restructuring charges (benefits), non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), non-GAAP provision for income taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share. 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, gain and loss on strategic investments, 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 GAAP 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 gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share. 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, gain and loss on strategic investments, 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 GAAP 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.

First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Overview

A mixed global economy weighed heavily on our first quarter results. Solid performance in Japan and pockets of growth in other countries couldn't offset weakness we experienced in the majority of our end-markets. Our suites and Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) products performed relatively well, while our other product groups registered declines.

First quarter performance included:

Revenue decreased 3 percent to $570 million, compared to the first quarter last year and decreased 6 percent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

GAAP operating margin was 14 percent, compared to 16 percent in the first quarter last year and 14 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP operating margin decreased approximately 60 basis points to 24 percent, compared to 25 percent in the first quarter last year and 25 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.24, compared to $0.34 in the first quarter last year and $0.32 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.42, compared to $0.47 in the first quarter last year and $0.53 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Deferred revenue increased 17 percent to a record $851 million, compared to $727 million in the first quarter last year and increased 2 percent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Cash flow from operating activities was a record $224 million, compared to $139 million in the first quarter last year and $156 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

___________
(1) Totals may not agree with the sum of the components due to rounding.
(2) Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Autodesk reclassified certain revenue associated with cloud service offerings from
"License and Other Revenue" to "Subscription Revenue." Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period
presentation. Subscription revenue includes maintenance and cloud-based revenue.

Total net revenue for the first quarter decreased 3 percent to $570 million, as compared to the first quarter last year as reported, and flat on a constant currency basis. Total net revenue for the first quarter decreased 6 percent sequentially as reported, and 6 percent on a constant currency basis.

As a reminder, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, Autodesk executed a promotion which pulled forward approximately $24 million in revenue from the first half of fiscal 2014.

License and other revenue decreased 9 percent to $324 million, as compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 11 percent sequentially.

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Autodesk reclassified certain revenue and cost of revenue amounts associated with our cloud service offerings from "License and Other Revenue" to our new revenue line item "Subscription Revenue." Subscription Revenue consists of two components: maintenance revenue for our software products and revenue for our cloud service offerings including Autodesk 360. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. Subscription revenue increased 6 percent to $247 million, as compared to the first quarter last year, and increased 2 percent sequentially.

Net subscription billings (includes maintenance and cloud service billings) increased 8 percent compared to the first quarter last year. The year-over-year increase is related primarily to an increase in multi-year maintenance subscriptions. Net subscription billings (includes maintenance and cloud service billings) decreased 23 percent sequentially. The sequential decrease is related primarily to typical seasonality and a reduction in multi-year maintenance subscriptions.

* The 2013 quarterly product category revenue amounts have been updated to conform with the current period's presentation.

As we have previously discussed, our customers continue to migrate to our Design and Creation Suites. As a result, revenue for many of our stand-alone products is decreasing, which impacts the growth of both Flagship and New and Adjacent categories.

Revenue from Flagship products decreased 9 percent to $312 million, compared to the first quarter last year, and 6 percent sequentially. The year-over-year decline in Flagship was driven by decreases in AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT as customers migrate to our suites.

Revenue from Suites was $176 million, or 31 percent of total revenue. Revenue from Suites increased 8 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 6 percent sequentially. Year-over-year growth was led by AEC suites.

Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $82 million, flat compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 7 percent sequentially.

* The 2013 quarterly segment revenue amounts have been updated to conform with the current period's presentation.

Revenue from our Platform Solutions and Emerging Business (PSEB) segment decreased 6 percent to $213 million, compared to the first quarter last year, and increased 8 percent sequentially. Combined revenue from AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT was $192 million, a decrease of 6 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and an increase of 13 percent sequentially. The decrease in AutoCAD in part reflects customer migration to our Design and Creation Suites. The decrease in AutoCAD LT in part reflects the mixed global economic environment. Revenue from PSEB suites decreased 14 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and 24 percent sequentially. Year-over-year growth in AutoCAD Suites was strong, while education suites declined sharply.

Revenue from our AEC business segment increased 4 percent to $172 million, compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 17 percent sequentially. Revenue from our AEC suites increased 14 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 1 percent sequentially. Year-over-year growth in AEC was led by growth in the Building Design Suites and Infrastructure Design Suites, partially offset by decreases in stand-alone products.

Revenue from our Manufacturing business segment decreased 4 percent to $139 million, compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 10 percent sequentially. Revenue from our Manufacturing suites increased 8 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 8 percent sequentially. The year-over-year decrease in our manufacturing segment was primarily the result of decreases in stand-alone products, which was partially offset by growth in manufacturing suites.

Revenue from our Media and Entertainment (M&E) business segment decreased 8 percent to $47 million, compared to the first quarter last year and was flat sequentially. Revenue from our animation products including Maya, 3ds Max, and our Entertainment Creation Suites decreased 9 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and increased 4 percent sequentially. Revenue from Creative Finishing decreased 5 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and 10 percent sequentially. The decrease in M&E revenue is related

Total cash and investments at the end of the first quarter was approximately $2.5 billion. Approximately 70% of the total cash and investments is located offshore and will fluctuate subject to business needs.
   
During the first quarter, Autodesk used $129 million to repurchase approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock at an average repurchase price of $40.18 per share. Through this stock repurchase program, Autodesk remains committed to returning excess cash to our stockholders and reducing shares outstanding over time.

Cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter was a record $224 million, an increase of 61 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 44 percent sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential increase is primarily related to a significant decrease in accounts receivable and billings linearity.
 
Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 46 days, which was flat as compared to the first quarter last year and a decrease of 28 days sequentially. The sequential decrease is primarily related to typical subscription billings seasonality and billings linearity.
       
Deferred revenue was a record $851 million, an increase of 17 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 2 percent sequentially.  The year-over-year increase is primarily related to increased subscription billings over the past four quarters.  The sequential increase in deferred revenue is primarily related to strong first quarter subscription billings.

Backlog was $2 million, a decrease of $4 million compared to the first quarter last year and $18 million sequentially. At the end of the first quarter, channel inventory was approximately one week.

GAAP gross margin in the first quarter was 88 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin in the first quarter was 90 percent. The year-over-year decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin is primarily related to higher cloud-related costs and lower revenue. The sequential decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin is primarily related to lower revenue and the seasonality of cost of goods sold.

GAAP operating expenses decreased 3 percent year-over-year and 8 percent sequentially. Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 4 percent year-over-year and 6 percent sequentially. The year-over-year decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses is primarily related to lower employee related costs and marketing related costs. The sequential decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses is related to typical seasonality.

GAAP operating margin was 14 percent, a decrease of 170 basis points compared to the first quarter last year. Foreign currency exchange had a negative impact on GAAP operating margin of approximately 165 basis points, compared to the first quarter last year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 24 percent and decreased approximately 60 basis points compared to the first quarter last year. Foreign currency exchange had a negative impact on non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 135 basis points, compared to the first quarter last year. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP year-over-year decrease in operating margin was due primarily to lower revenue related to foreign currency exchange headwinds and increased costs of goods sold.

GAAP operating margin increased approximately 30 basis points sequentially primarily related to decreased employee related costs and restructuring costs. Non-GAAP operating margin decreased approximately 110 basis points sequentially primarily related to lower revenue and increased costs of goods sold.

The first quarter effective tax rate was 23.4 percent and 25.5 percent for our GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively.

GAAP earnings per diluted share for the first quarter were $0.24. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the first quarter were $0.42.

The share count used to compute basic net income per share was 223.8 million. The share count used to compute diluted net income per share was 229.3 million.

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

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 second quarter and full year fiscal 2014 assumes, among other things, a continuation of the current economic environment and foreign exchange currency rate environment, and interest expense related to Autodesk's $750 million debt offering in December 2012.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2014

2Q FY14 Guidance Metrics
Q2 FY14 (ending July 31, 2013)
Revenue (in millions)
$550 - $570
EPS GAAP
$0.21 - $0.26
EPS Non-GAAP
$0.39 - $0.44

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclude $0.11 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.06 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles and $0.01 for restructuring, net of tax.

The majority of the projected euro, yen and Australian dollar denominated net revenue for our second quarter fiscal 2014 has been hedged, which should materially reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our second quarter results. However, over an extended period of time, currency fluctuations will increasingly impact our results. We also hedge certain expenses as noted below. 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 2014 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.

Full Year Fiscal 2014

Net revenue for fiscal 2014 is now expected to increase by approximately 3 percent compared to fiscal 2013. Autodesk now anticipates fiscal 2014 GAAP operating margin to increase approximately 360 to 410 basis points and non-GAAP operating margin to increase approximately 50 to 100 basis points compared to fiscal 2013. A reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP estimates for fiscal 2014 is provided in the tables following these prepared remarks.

Both second quarter fiscal 2014 and full year fiscal 2014 outlooks assume annual effective tax rates of approximately 24 percent and approximately 25.5 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively. These rates do not include one-time discrete items but do reflect the recently enacted extension of the federal R&D tax credit benefit through December 31, 2013.

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

Given continued 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:

7




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 projected revenue and certain projected 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 above in “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.

Glossary of Terms

License and Other revenue: License and other revenue consists of two components: all forms of product license revenue and other revenue. Product license revenue includes: software license revenue from the sale of new seat licenses and upgrades. Other revenue consists of revenue from Creative Finishing, consulting and training services.

Subscription revenue: Our subscription revenue consists of two components: maintenance revenue for our software products and revenue for our cloud service offerings, including Autodesk 360.

Maintenance: Our maintenance program provides our commercial and educational customers with a cost effective and predictable budgetary option to obtain the productivity benefits of our new releases and enhancements when and if released during the term of their contracts. Under our maintenance program, customers are eligible to receive unspecified upgrades when and if available, downloadable training courses and online support.  We recognize maintenance revenue over the term of the agreements, generally between one and three years. 

Safe Harbor Statement

These prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements in the paragraphs under “Business Outlook” above, statements regarding anticipated demand and revenue performance and trends (including by geography, product, product type, and end user), the impact of general seasonality on the timing of future revenues, the impact of foreign exchange hedges and other statements regarding our expected strategies, market and products positions, performance and results. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made in these remarks, including: general market, political, economic and business conditions; failure to maintain our revenue growth and profitability; failure to maintain cost reductions and productivity increases or otherwise control our expenses; the success of our internal reorganization and restructuring activities; our performance in particular geographies, including emerging economies; the ability of governments around the world to meet their financial and debt obligations, and finance infrastructure projects; failure to successfully incorporate sales of licenses of

9



products suites into our overall sales strategy; weak or negative growth in the industries we serve; failure to successfully expand adoption of our products including key initiatives, including our continuing efforts to attract customers to our cloud-based offerings; slowing momentum in subscription billings or revenues; difficulties encountered in integrating new or acquired businesses and technologies; the inability to identify and realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; the financial and business condition of our reseller and distribution channels; dependence on and the timing of large transactions; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates; the success of our foreign currency hedging program; failure to achieve sufficient sell-through in our channels for new or existing products; pricing pressure; unexpected fluctuations in our tax rate; the timing and degree of expected investments in growth and efficiency opportunities; changes in the timing of product releases and retirements; failure of key new applications to achieve anticipated levels of customer acceptance; failure to achieve continued success in technology advancements; interruptions or terminations in the business of Autodesk consultants; the expense or impact of legal or regulatory proceedings; and any unanticipated accounting charges.

Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of Autodesk are included in Autodesk's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013, which is on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share. 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, gain and loss on strategic investments, 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 GAAP 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.

(a) Totals may not agree with the sum of the components due to rounding.
(b) 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.
(c) Prior amounts have been conformed to align with the current period presentation.
(d) The first three quarters of 2013 percentages have been updated to reflect an adjustment implemented after we reported our results of operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
 
 
 
 
 
 
(1) To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share. 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, gain and loss on strategic investments, 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.
