Autodesk Reports Third Quarter Results

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 15, 2012 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2013

"Our revenue results were disappointing and were primarily caused by a weakening demand environment," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "While we experienced pockets of relative strength in the U.S., northern Europe, and Russia, most other markets around the world slowed during the quarter, most notably emerging markets. Despite our overall revenue shortfall, our ongoing focus on cost management delivered meaningful margin expansion and EPS above our guidance range."

Third Quarter Operational Overview

EMEA revenue decreased 3 percent to $196 million, compared to the third quarter last year as reported and increased 3 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in the Americas increased 4 percent to $209 million, compared to the third quarter last year. Revenue in Asia Pacific (APAC) decreased 3 percent to $142 million, compared to the third quarter last year as reported and decreased 3 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies decreased 9 percent to $80 million, compared to the third quarter last year as reported and 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies represented 15 percent of total revenue in the third quarter.

Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business (PSEB) segment decreased 2 percent to $205 million, compared to the third quarter last year. Revenue from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) business segment increased 7 percent to $163 million, compared to the third quarter last year. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment decreased 1 percent to $132 million, compared to the third quarter last year. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment decreased 9 percent to $48 million, compared to the third quarter last year.

Revenue from Flagship products decreased 4 percent to $298 million, compared to the third quarter last year. Revenue from Suites increased 10 percent to $166 million, compared to the third quarter last year. Revenue from New and Adjacent products decreased 3 percent to $84 million, compared to the third quarter last year.

In the third quarter last year, Autodesk recognized a $10 million, one-time transaction, related to license compliance. This transaction impacted revenue growth rates for license and other, APAC, PSEB, and Flagship. In addition, Superstorm Sandy negatively impacted our business during the last few days of the quarter.

Deferred revenue increased 15 percent to $714 million, compared to the third quarter last year.

"We achieved strong growth in non-GAAP operating margin, better than expected EPS, strong cash flow from operations, and growth in deferred revenue," said Mark Hawkins, Autodesk executive vice president, chief financial officer. "While our revenue growth target for fiscal 2013 is below our original target, we believe we can still achieve year-over-year non-GAAP operating margin expansion of between 80 and 140 basis points. With over $1.7 billion in cash and marketable securities, our balance sheet remains solid.

"Looking forward, due to the increasing uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment and our slower than planned revenue growth in fiscal 2013, we are reassessing our long-term financial model (through fiscal 2015) and are not providing revenue targets at this time," continued Hawkins. "While revenue growth will be a key determining factor in the years to come, we remain committed to growing our non-GAAP operating margin and believe we can achieve a 30+ percent run rate as we exit our fiscal 2015."

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 fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2013 assumes a continuation of the current economic environment and foreign exchange currency rate environment.

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 restructuring charges, 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, gain and loss on strategic investments, 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.

(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 gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating margin. 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 investment, 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.

Reconciliation for Long Term Operating Margins:

Autodesk is not able to provide targets for our long term (ending with fiscal year 2015) GAAP operating margins at this time because of the difficulty of estimating certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP that affect operating margin, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition related intangibles, the effect of which may be significant.
