Autodesk Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2009 Financial Results

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported revenue of $607 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 13 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2008. GAAP diluted earnings per share in the third quarter increased 29 percent to $0.45, compared to $0.35 per diluted share in the third quarter last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the third quarter increased 14 percent to $0.56, compared to $0.49 per diluted share in the third quarter last year. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.

"The sharp downturn in the global economy had a substantial impact on our results for the quarter," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "Our business in the United States slowed as a result of the economic climate. In addition, we started to experience headwinds in some of our international markets.

"While we realize that there is no quick or easy response to the current economic environment, we are focused on serving our customers and helping our channel partners in these challenging times. We are taking actions to stimulate demand and are making appropriate adjustments to our cost structure. In the process we intend to balance these cost reductions with investing in our future. Investment focus areas continue to be increasing channel capacity and developing technology that will help Autodesk better serve our customers."

Operational Highlights

Autodesk's performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was driven by continued growth of maintenance revenue, model-based 3D design solutions, and revenue generated in emerging economies.

Combined revenue from our model-based 3D design solutions, including Inventor, Revit, Civil 3D, Moldflow, NavisWorks, and Robobat, increased 26 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $163 million and comprised 27 percent of total revenue for the quarter. Excluding $12 million from Moldflow, which was acquired earlier this year, revenue from model-based 3D design solutions grew 16 percent to $151 million. Autodesk shipped approximately 41,000 commercial seats of its model-based 3D design products, including approximately 9,000 commercial seats of Inventor and Moldflow and 32,000 seats of its Architecture Engineering and Construction products - Revit, Civil 3D, NavisWorks, and Robobat.

Revenue from AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT increased 10 percent and 12 percent, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2008. Revenue from 2D vertical products decreased 6 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Revenue from emerging economies increased 25 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $114 million and represented 19 percent of total revenue. EMEA revenue was $258 million, an increase of 27 percent as reported over the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and 20 percent at constant currency. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $133 million, an increase of 12 percent as reported year-over-year, and 9 percent at constant currency. Revenue in the Americas decreased 1 percent to $216 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue combined increased 22 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $227 million. Total upgrade revenue decreased 4 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Maintenance revenue increased 31 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $186 million, or 31 percent of total revenue. Deferred maintenance revenue decreased $55 million sequentially and increased $67 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Net income and earnings per share benefited from lower operating expenses than originally expected, which resulted from an accrual adjustment for annual performance-based incentive plans, a hiring freeze, and lower discretionary spending.

        Autodesk,  Inc.
        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  margin,  non-GAAP
        operating  expenses,  non-GAAP  income  from  operations,  non-GAAP  interest  and
        other  income,  net  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,  employee  tax
        reimbursements  related  to  our  stock  option  review,  litigation  expenses,
        in-process  research  and  development  expenses,  restructuring  expenses,
        amortization  of  purchased  intangibles,  investment  impairment  and  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.

        (2)  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,  non-GAAP  interest
                and  other  income,  net  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,  employee  tax  reimbursements  related  to  our  stock  option
                review,  litigation  expenses,  in-process  research  and  development
                expenses,  restructuring  expenses,  amortization  of  purchased
                intangibles,  investment  impairment  and  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.
