AUTODESK REPORTS STRONG FINANCIAL RESULTS IN FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2011
 
Revenue grows 11 percent to $475 million
 
Significant operating margin and cash flow growth
 

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 19, 2010-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
·      
Revenue was $475 million, an increase of 4 percent sequentially and 11 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
·      
GAAP operating margin was 11 percent, a decrease from 12 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and an increase from negative 5 percent in the first quarter last year.
·      
Non-GAAP operating margin was 20 percent, a slight increase sequentially and an increase of 7 percentage points compared to the first quarter last year.  A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
·      
On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.16, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.21 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, and diluted loss per share of $0.14 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
·      
On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.29, compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.30 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.18 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
·      
Cash flow from operations was $139 million, an increase of 11 percent sequentially and 411 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
 
"Our strong first quarter results reflect the continued improvement in the demand environment for our products and robust revenue growth in our international geographies,” said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO.  “Over the past several quarters we have been positioning the company to participate in the eventual global recovery.  Our results reflect the work we’ve done to drive revenue, control costs and improve our profitability.  We continue to be optimistic about delivering margin expansion this year, tempered with appropriate concern regarding the uncertainty of the European economy.”
 
Autodesk experienced strong year-over-year growth in several key areas including maintenance billings, revenue from commercial new licenses, and cash flow from operations.  Growth in total revenue, coupled with a continued focus on cost containment and improving operational efficiencies led to significant year-over-year improvement to Autodesk’s operating margin, cash flow from operations, and profitability.
 
 
 
 
 
First quarter results included a one-time benefit of approximately $15 million in upgrade revenue related to a promotion that was run in advance of an increase in upgrade pricing.
 
Operational Overview
All constant currency calculations remove the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and the impact from our hedging program.
 
EMEA revenue increased 6 percent sequentially as reported and 9 percent on a constant currency basis to $199 million.  EMEA revenue increased 19 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as reported and 10 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue in the Americas decreased 4 percent sequentially to $161 million and decreased 1 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Revenue in Asia Pacific was $115 million, an increase of 14 percent sequentially as reported and 15 percent on a constant currency basis.  Revenue in Asia Pacific increased 21 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as reported and increased 15 percent on a constant currency basis.
 
Revenue from emerging economies was $68 million, a decrease of 7 percent sequentially as reported and 4 percent on a constant currency basis.  Revenue from emerging economies increased 16 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as reported and 13 percent on a constant currency basis.  Revenue from emerging economies represented 14 percent of total revenue in the first quarter.
 
Combined revenue from Autodesk's model-based design solutions (previously known as 3D model-based design) was $138 million, an increase of 3 percent sequentially and 13 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  Combined revenue from horizontal design products (previously known as 2D horizontal) and vertical design products (previously known as 2D vertical) was $240 million, a 12 percent increase sequentially and 17 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  Combined revenue from our AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT products increased 19 percent sequentially and 20 percent compared to the fiscal first quarter last year.
 
Operating margins improved significantly in the first quarter compared to the first quarter last year.  The 16 percentage point improvement in GAAP operating margin in the first quarter was driven primarily by the lack of impairment charges and lower restructuring costs compared to the first quarter last year.  The 7 percentage point improvement in non-GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by higher revenue.
 
Cash flow from operations was $139 million in the fiscal first quarter bringing the cash and investments balance to over $1.2 billion, or cash and investments of approximately $5.40 per share of common stock outstanding.
 
 
 
 
 
Business Outlook

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, goodwill impairment, establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets 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.

(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 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.
