Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On August 18, 2011, Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) issued a press release and prepared remarks reporting financial results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2011.  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.

AUTODESK REPORTS 16 PERCENT SECOND QUARTER REVENUE GROWTH
 
Strong Growth of EPS and Cash Flow from Operations

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., August 18, 2011-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.
 
Revenue was $546 million, an increase of 16 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
GAAP operating margin was 17 percent, compared to 17 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
Non-GAAP operating margin was 25 percent, compared to 25 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
 
GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.30, compared to $0.25 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.44, compared to $0.36 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
Cash flow from operating activities was $132 million, compared to $112 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

“We experienced strong demand across all geographies and business segments with growth led by our Asia Pacific region,” said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO.   “Our manufacturing business segment had its largest revenue quarter ever and continues to be our fastest growing segment.  Our AEC business segment returned to strong growth in the second quarter as the building and construction industries continue to standardize on Building Information Modeling.  And our newly launched design and creation suites are off to a terrific start, helping drive our overall revenue growth.”

Second Quarter Operational Overview
 
EMEA revenue was $212 million, an increase of 12 percent compared to the second quarter last year as reported and 13 percent on a constant currency basis.  Revenue in the Americas was $191 million, an increase of 13 percent compared to the second quarter last year.  Revenue in Asia Pacific was $143 million, an increase of 24 percent compared to the second quarter last year as reported and 16 percent on a constant currency basis.  Revenue from emerging economies was $88 million, an increase of 23 percent compared to the second quarter last year as reported and 18 percent on a constant currency basis.  Revenue from emerging economies represented 16 percent of total revenue in the second quarter.

All constant currency calculations remove the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and any hedge gains or losses recorded to revenue within the current and prior period as a result of Autodesk’s hedging program.  Starting in the current quarter, we have changed our methodology for calculating constant currency.  Please see the attached Fact Sheet for more details.

Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment was $199 million, an increase of 12 percent compared to the second quarter last year.  Revenue from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction business segment was $158 million, an increase of 19 percent compared to the second quarter last year.  Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment was $136 million, an increase of 20 percent compared to the second quarter last year.  Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment was $54 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the second quarter last year.

“We achieved better than expected profitability driven by solid revenue performance and continued cost controls” said Mark Hawkins, Autodesk Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer.  “We also posted strong growth in maintenance billings, deferred revenue, and cash flow from operations.  Our balance sheet remains sound with cash and investments of approximately $1.6 billion, deferred revenue at a record high, and no debt.”

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.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2012
 
Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 is expected to be in the range of $535 million and $550 million.  GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.25 and $0.29. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.38 and $0.42 and exclude $0.08 related to stock-based compensation expense, and $0.05 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of tax.

Full Year Fiscal 2012
 
Net revenue for fiscal 2012 is expected to increase by approximately 13 percent compared to fiscal 2011.  Autodesk anticipates fiscal 2012 GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins to increase by greater than 200 basis points compared to fiscal 2011.  Non-GAAP operating margin improvement excludes approximately 70 basis points of restructuring charges, negative 10 basis points of amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and negative 50 basis points of stock-based compensation expense.

Both third quarter fiscal 2012 and full year fiscal 2012 outlooks assume an annual effective tax rate of approximately 23 percent for GAAP results and approximately 25 percent for non-GAAP results.

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.

(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.

GAAP gross margin in the second quarter was 89 percent.  Non-GAAP gross margin in the second quarter was 91 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 and maintenance support costs.

GAAP operating margin was 17 percent and increased 50 basis points compared to the second quarter last year.  GAAP operating margin increased 250 basis points sequentially.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 25 percent and increased 80 basis points compared to the second quarter last year.  The year-over-year increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin was driven by increased revenue.  Non-GAAP operating margin increased 290 basis points sequentially.  The sequential increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by increased revenue.
 
GAAP operating expenses increased 14 percent year-over-year and were flat sequentially.  Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 14 percent year-over-year and decreased 1 percent sequentially. The year-over-year increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses is primarily related to higher employee and information technology related costs.      

The second quarter effective tax rate was 24 percent for our GAAP results and 25 percent for our non-GAAP results.

Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter were $0.30 GAAP and $0.44 non-GAAP.

The share count used to compute basic net income per share was 229.4 million.  The share count used to compute diluted net income per share was 236.6 million.

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

Compared to the second quarter of last year, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates including the impact of our hedging program in the second quarter was $8 million favorable on revenue and $17 million unfavorable on cost of revenue and operating expenses.

Compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and hedging was $7 million favorable on revenue and $4 million unfavorable on expenses.
 
Effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we have changed the way we calculate foreign currency impact on total net revenue, and cost of revenue and operating expenses to include the impact of our hedging program on both the current and prior period.  We believe this change is more useful to the users of our financial information as it more fully reflects the impact of movements in foreign currency on our U.S. Dollar financial results.  All prior period comparative information has been revised to conform to the new  methodology.  See discussion under “Autodesk’s Foreign Currency Hedging Program and Calculation of Constant Currency Growth” at the end of these Prepared Remarks for further details.

Shippable backlog at the end of the second quarter was $25 million, an increase of $4 million compared to the second quarter last year, and flat sequentially.

Deferred revenue was a quarter-end record $642 million, an increase of 22 percent compared to the second quarter last year and 3 percent sequentially.  The year-over-year and sequential increase is primarily due to strong maintenance billings including an increase in multi-year maintenance agreements.

Total backlog at the end of the second quarter, including deferred revenue and shippable backlog orders was a quarter-end record $668 million, an increase of $120 million compared to the second quarter of last year and $20 million sequentially.

At the end of the second quarter, channel inventory was below two weeks.

Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 49 days, an increase of 5 days compared to the second quarter last year driven by a shift in billings linearity and strong subscription billings.  DSO increased 2 days sequentially. 
 
Business Outlook
 
Our guidance is based on our current expectations and the information we have available today, including currency exchange rates.
 
Third Quarter Fiscal 2012
 
3Q FY12 Guidance Metrics
3Q FY12 (ending October 31, 2011)
Revenue (in millions)
$535 to $550
EPS - GAAP
$0.25 to $0.29
EPS - Non-GAAP
$0.38 to $0.42
 
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 exclude $0.08 related to stock-based compensation expense, and $0.05 for amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of tax.

A portion of the projected euro and yen denominated net revenue for our third quarter fiscal 2012 has been hedged, which should help reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our third quarter results.  However, over an extended period of time currency fluctuations will increasingly impact our results.
 
 
 
8

 
 
Full Year Fiscal 2012
 
Net revenue for fiscal 2012 is expected to increase by approximately 13 percent compared to fiscal 2011.  Autodesk anticipates fiscal 2012 GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins to increase by greater than 200 basis points compared to fiscal 2011.  Non-GAAP operating margin improvement excludes 70 basis points of restructuring charges, negative 10 basis points of amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and negative 50 basis points of stock-based compensation expense.

Both third quarter fiscal 2012 and full year fiscal 2012 outlooks assume an annual effective tax rate of approximately 23 percent for GAAP results and approximately 25 percent for non-GAAP results.

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, 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.

(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.

(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.
