Third Quarter Fiscal 2014 Overview

Our third quarter was marked by continued strong growth in suites and solid execution in our Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and Manufacturing business segments. Both Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) experienced solid growth on a constant currency basis and revenue from emerging countries returned to year-over-year growth.

Third quarter performance included:

Revenue was $555 million, an increase of 1 percent compared to the third quarter last year as reported, and increased 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue decreased 1 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as reported, and on a constant currency basis.

GAAP operating margin was 12 percent, compared to 6 percent in the third quarter last year and 15 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 22 percent, compared to 27 percent in the third quarter last year and 24 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.25, compared to $0.13 in the third quarter last year and $0.27 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.41, compared to $0.47 in the third quarter last year and $0.45 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Deferred revenue increased 7 percent to $766 million, compared to $714 million in the third quarter last year and decreased 5 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Cash flow from operating activities was $91 million, compared to $157 million in the third quarter last year and $65 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

___________
(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 third quarter increased 1 percent to $555 million, as compared to the third quarter last year as reported, and increased 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Total net revenue for the third quarter decreased 1 percent sequentially as reported, and on a constant currency basis.

At the start of the fiscal year we made a strategic decision to begin shifting our education business from selling to granting our software licenses in select regions and to key partners.  We plan to expand upon this transition over time. The net financial impact of this change is a drag of approximately 2 percentage points of total revenue growth for the third quarter, with particular impact in the Americas.

License and other revenue decreased 4 percent to $298 million, as compared to the third quarter last year, and decreased 5 percent sequentially.

Subscription revenue increased 8 percent to $258 million, as compared to the third quarter last year, and increased 4 percent sequentially.

Net subscription billings (includes maintenance and cloud service billings) increased 11 percent compared to the third quarter last year. The increase is related primarily to an increase in multi-year maintenance subscriptions (related to a pricing change in the third quarter last year, which drove early renewal activity in the second quarter of last year), and the increase in Suites sales, which have higher maintenance subscription prices.

Net subscription billings increased 5 percent sequentially. The sequential increase is related primarily to multi-year maintenance subscriptions.

Revenue in the Americas decreased 1 percent to $208 million, as compared to the third quarter last year as reported, and was flat on a constant currency basis. A slight decline in the U.S. and parts of Latin America was partially offset by growth in Canada. Revenue in the Americas was impacted by a decrease in revenue from the education vertical (as noted above), as well as the U.S. government shutdown. Normalizing for theses items,

revenue in the Americas would have experienced year-over-year growth. Revenue from the Americas increased 3 percent sequentially as reported, and on a constant currency basis.

Revenue in EMEA increased 4 percent to $204 million, as compared to the third quarter last year as reported, and 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Year-over-year results were driven primarily by strength in northern Europe. EMEA revenue increased 1 percent sequentially as reported, and was flat on a constant currency basis.

Revenue in APAC remained flat at $143 million, as compared to the third quarter last year as reported, and increased 7 percent on a constant currency basis. Growth on a constant currency basis was widespread across APAC, including Japan, which typically represents over 40 percent of APAC's revenue. Revenue in APAC decreased 10 percent sequentially as reported, and 9 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue from emerging economies increased 6 percent to $84 million, as compared to the third quarter last year as reported, and on a constant currency basis. Among the BRIC countries, growth was led by strong results in China. Revenue from emerging economies decreased 2 percent sequentially as reported, and 3 percent on a constant currency basis.

* 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 $275 million, compared to the third quarter last year, and 5 percent sequentially. The year-over-year decline in Flagship was driven primarily by decreases in AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD, reflecting customer migration to our suites and weakness in our volume channels.

Revenue from Suites was $199 million, or 36 percent of total revenue. Revenue from Suites increased 21 percent compared to the third quarter last year, and 3 percent sequentially. Year-over-year growth in Suites was broad based, and was led by strong growth in AEC suites.

Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $82 million, flat compared to the third quarter last year, and increased 3 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 10 percent to $183 million, compared to the third quarter last year, and 7 percent sequentially. Combined revenue from AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT was $159 million, a decrease of 11 percent compared to the third quarter last year, and 8 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 weakness in our volume channels. Revenue from PSEB suites decreased 5 percent compared to the third quarter last year and 3 percent sequentially. Strong year-over-year growth in AutoCAD Suites was more than offset by a decline in education suites related to our change in strategy within the education vertical (as noted previously).

Revenue from our AEC business segment increased 13 percent to $186 million, compared to the third quarter last year, and 5 percent sequentially. Revenue from our AEC suites increased 42 percent compared to the third quarter last year, and 9 percent sequentially. All AEC suites grew on a year-over-year basis, led by strong growth in Building Design Suites and Infrastructure Design Suites.

Revenue from our Manufacturing business segment increased 8 percent to $142 million, compared to the third quarter last year, and decreased 1 percent sequentially. Revenue from our Manufacturing suites increased 11 percent compared to the third quarter last year, and decreased 4 percent sequentially. The year-over-year growth in our manufacturing segment was primarily the result of growth in manufacturing suites, partially offset by declines in stand-alone products.

Revenue from our Media and Entertainment (M&E) business segment decreased 9 percent to $44 million, compared to the third quarter last year and increased 1 percent sequentially. Revenue from our Animation products, including Maya, 3ds Max, and our Entertainment Creation Suites, decreased 5 percent compared to the third quarter last year, and increased 3 percent sequentially. Revenue from Creative Finishing decreased 22 percent compared to the third quarter last year, and 3 percent sequentially. The decrease in M&E revenue is related primarily to a general decrease in the M&E industry end-market demand, as well as the planned inclusion of our M&E products in other Autodesk industry suites.

Total cash and investments at the end of the third quarter was approximately $2.5 billion. Approximately 75 percent of the total cash and investments is located offshore and will fluctuate subject to business needs.
   
During the third quarter, Autodesk used $79 million to repurchase approximately 2 million shares of common stock at an average repurchase price of $39.37 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 third quarter was $91 million, a decrease of 42 percent compared to the third quarter last year and an increase of 39 percent sequentially. The year-over-year decrease is primarily related to prior year changes in accounts receivable. The sequential increase is primarily related to seasonal changes in various operating assets and liabilities. For the first nine months of fiscal 2014, cash flow from operating activities decreased 6 percent to $380 million, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
 
Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 50 days, which was an increase of 1 day as compared to the third quarter last year and sequentially.
       
Deferred revenue was $766 million, an increase of 7 percent compared to the third quarter last year and a decrease of 5 percent sequentially.  The year-over-year increase is primarily related to a net increase in subscription billings over the past four quarters.  The sequential decrease in deferred revenue is primarily related to typical seasonality.

Backlog was $2 million, flat compared to the third quarter last year and sequentially. At the end of the third quarter, channel inventory remained approximately one week.

GAAP gross margin in the third quarter was 88 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin in the third quarter was 90 percent. The year-over-year decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin is primarily related to higher cloud and subscription-related costs.

GAAP operating expenses decreased 8 percent year-over-year primarily related to lower restructuring and stock-based compensation charges. The year-over-year decrease in GAAP operating expenses led to a 600 basis point improvement in the GAAP operating margin, which was 12 percent. GAAP operating expenses increased 2 percent sequentially primarily from higher marketing costs. The sequential increase in GAAP operating expenses led to an approximate 260 basis points decrease GAAP operating margin. Foreign currency exchange had a negative impact on GAAP operating margin of approximately 130 basis points, compared to the third quarter last year.

Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 7 percent year-over-year primarily related to higher employee related costs and professional fees. Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 2 percent sequentially primarily related to higher professional fees.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 22 percent and decreased approximately 470 basis points compared to the third quarter last year driven by higher employee related costs and foreign currency exchange headwinds. Foreign currency exchange had a negative impact on non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 110 basis points. Non-GAAP operating margin decreased approximately 230 basis points sequentially, primarily related to lower revenue and higher professional fees.

The third quarter effective tax rate was 17 percent and 23 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP, respectively. The GAAP effective tax rate was lower than expected due to the geographic mix of earnings and discrete items. The non-GAAP tax rate was lower than expected primarily due to the geographic mix of earnings and the impact of a lower rate for prior quarters.

GAAP earnings per diluted share for the third quarter were $0.25. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the third quarter were $0.41.

The share count used to compute basic net income per share was 223.1 million. The share count used to compute diluted net income per share was 227.7 million.

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

Business Outlook

The following are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions, and involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below. Autodesk's business outlook for the fourth 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.

_______________
(1)Includes impact of approximately $50 million from business model transition as revenue that would have otherwise been recognized during this period will be deferred. Deferred revenue is expected to increase by an equivalent amount related to this transition.
(2) Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclude $0.11 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.07 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and $0.02 related to restructuring charges.

The majority of the projected euro, yen and Australian dollar denominated net revenue for our fourth quarter fiscal 2014 has been hedged, which should materially reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our fourth 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.

(2) Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclude $0.41 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.26 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and $0.04 related to restructuring charges.

Both the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2014 outlook assume annual effective tax rates of approximately 22 percent and approximately 25 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively. These rates do not

include one-time discrete items but do reflect the 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:

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 billings 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.

(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, 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.
