Autodesk Reports 14 Percent Year over Year Revenue Growth

Significant Operating Margin, Profitability, and Cash Flow Growth

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 12, 2010 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

“Our focus on growing our revenue base while controlling costs resulted in better than expected revenue and profitability in the second quarter," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. “Although the pace of the global recovery is varied by country, we are pleased that we achieved revenue growth in all of our major geographies. We experienced strong year-over-year growth in many key areas including operating margin, revenue from commercial new licenses, and cash flow from operations. Our results reflect the traction that we are gaining in both new and existing accounts.”

Operational Overview

The following sequential revenue comparisons were negatively impacted by a one-time benefit of approximately $15 million in upgrade revenue related promotions and a price change in the first quarter.

EMEA revenue was $189 million and increased 20 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as reported and 19 percent on a constant currency basis. EMEA revenue decreased 5 percent sequentially as reported and 4 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue in the Americas was $168 million and increased 6 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and 4 percent sequentially.

Revenue in Asia Pacific was $116 million and increased 17 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as reported and 14 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in Asia Pacific increased 1 percent sequentially as reported and 2 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue from emerging economies was $71 million, an increase of 13 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as reported and 14 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies increased 5 percent sequentially as reported and 6 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies represented 15 percent of total revenue in the second quarter.

All constant currency calculations remove the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and any gains or losses recorded to revenue within the current period as a result of Autodesk’s hedging program.

Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment was $177 million, an increase of 19 percent compared to the second quarter last year and a decrease of 3 percent sequentially. Revenue from the AEC business segment was $133 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to the second quarter last year and a decrease of 3 percent sequentially. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment was $113 million, an increase of 18 percent compared to the second quarter last year and 4 percent sequentially. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment was $50 million, an increase of 6 percent compared to the second quarter last year and 8 percent sequentially.

Second quarter operating margins improved significantly year-over-year. The 16 percentage point improvement in GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by higher revenue and lower restructuring charges in the current quarter. The 9 percentage point year-over-year improvement in non-GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by higher revenue.

Cash flow from operations was $112 million in the second quarter this year. Autodesk’s cash and investments balance at the end of the second quarter was $1.3 billion.

“In the first half of fiscal 2011 we achieved significant year-over-year growth in revenue, cash flow and EPS,” continued Bass. “As we enter the second half of fiscal 2011, we are optimistic about continued revenue growth opportunities and believe that we will deliver significant growth in annual operating margins over the prior year. We will also balance our cost control with essential investments in the business with a focus on revenue generating opportunities.”

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 is only providing revenue and earnings per share guidance for its fiscal third quarter of 2011 at this time.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2011

Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 is expected to be in the range of $450 million and $475 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.18 and $0.23. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.28 and $0.33 and exclude $0.06 related to stock-based compensation expense, and $0.04 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

Third quarter outlook assumes an effective tax rate of 25 percent for GAAP results and an effective tax rate of 27 percent for non-GAAP results.

Full Year Fiscal 2011

Autodesk is not providing specific revenue or EPS guidance for fiscal 2011 at this time. However, Autodesk anticipates GAAP operating margin to increase significantly for the full year fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. Autodesk anticipates non-GAAP operating margin to increase between 400 and 450 basis points for full year fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP operating margin excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and restructuring charges.

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 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, 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 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.
