SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported revenue of $490 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of 18 percent over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. GAAP diluted loss per share in the fourth quarter was $0.47, compared to earnings of $0.40 per diluted share in the fourth quarter last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter were $0.31, compared to $0.52 per diluted share in the fourth quarter last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share exclude a pre-tax impairment charge of $0.56 related primarily to a reduction in the carrying of goodwill in the company's Media and Entertainment business segment, $0.18 for restructuring charges, $0.08 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.11 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles and in-process research and development, and the offsetting tax impact of $0.15 related to these items.

For fiscal 2009, revenue was a record $2.315 billion, an increase of 7 percent compared to fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2009 net income was $184 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $448 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.

"We have much to be proud of in fiscal 2009, including achieving record annual revenue results, expanding our market presence into new territories, and adding several new and exciting technologies to our portfolio of world-class products," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "While the global economic conditions in the first and second half of fiscal 2009 were very divergent, we are taking actions to reduce our cost structure to better fit the realities of today's economic conditions. Our strong market position and best-in-class products give us confidence that Autodesk will emerge from this downturn better positioned and more operationally efficient."

Business Outlook

The following statements are forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and which involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below. Given the uncertainty of the current markets, Autodesk is only providing guidance for its fiscal first quarter of 2010 at this time.

First Quarter Fiscal 2010

Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 is expected to be in the range of $400 million and $440 million. GAAP loss per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.20 and $0.08. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.00 and $0.12 and excludes $0.07 related to restructuring charges, $0.08 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.05 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles. The GAAP EPS range assumes a tax rate of 31% and the non-GAAP EPS range assumes a tax rate of 27%.

In addition, operating cash flow for the first quarter is expected to be negative as a result of lower revenues combined with cash outlays in the quarter for payments of the annual employee incentive plan and payments relating to the restructuring plan.

        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,
        in-process  research  and  development  expenses,  restructuring  expenses,
        amortization  of  purchased  intangibles,  asset  impairment  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)  Totals  may  not  agree  with  the  sum  of  the  components  due  to  rounding.
        (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,
          in-process  research  and  development  expenses,  restructuring  expenses,
          amortization  of  purchased  intangibles,  investment  impairment  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.
