Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, diversified financial institutions globally with high credit ratings and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security and issuer. Autodesk’s primary commercial banking relationship is with Citigroup Inc. and its global affiliates. Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, is one of the lead lenders and an agent in the syndicate of Autodesk’s $400.0 million line of credit facility.

Total sales to the distributor Tech Data Corporation and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”) accounted for 26% and 25% of Autodesk’s total net revenue for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015, respectively, and 26% for both the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014. The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data relates to Autodesk’s Architecture, Engineering and Construction (“AEC”) segment and is for sales made outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 25% and 22% of trade accounts receivable at October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015, respectively.
