Autodesk Reports Record Revenue of $620 Million in its Second Quarter of Fiscal 2009

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported revenue of $620 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 18 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2008. GAAP diluted earnings per share in the second quarter increased 3 percent to $0.39, compared to $0.38 per diluted share in the second quarter last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the second quarter increased 27 percent to $0.56, compared to $0.44 per diluted share in the second quarter last year. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.

"We're very pleased that Autodesk was able to achieve another quarter of record revenue results," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "Our ability to serve diverse business segments globally with leading software design and engineering solutions drove our strong performance. The combination of a strong market position, industry and geographic diversification, a strong balance sheet, and excellent cash flow, positions Autodesk for continued success."

Operational Highlights

In addition to favorable currency exchange rates, Autodesk's performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was driven by continued revenue growth of model-based 3D design solutions, 2D vertical products, emerging economies, as well as total upgrade and maintenance revenue growth.

Combined revenue from the Company's model-based 3D solutions, which includes Inventor, Revit, Civil 3D, NavisWorks, Robobat, and Moldflow, increased 36 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $166 million and comprised 27 percent of total revenue for the quarter. Excluding Moldflow, which was acquired during the quarter, model-based 3D solutions grew 31 percent to $159 million. Autodesk shipped approximately 36,000 commercial seats of its model-based 3D design products, including approximately 10,000 commercial seats of Inventor and 26,000 seats of its Architecture Engineering and Construction products -- Revit, Civil 3D, NavisWorks, and Robobat. In addition, revenue from 2D vertical products increased 16 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Revenue from the emerging economies increased 40 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $114 million and represented 18 percent of total revenue. EMEA revenue was $267 million, an increase of 31 percent as reported over the second quarter of fiscal 2008, and 15 percent at constant currency. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $150 million, an increase of 18 percent as reported year-over-year, and 11 percent at constant currency. Revenue in the Americas increased 4 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $203 million, despite continued economic headwinds.

Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue combined increased 34 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $238 million. Maintenance revenue increased 36 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $180 million, or 29 percent of total revenue. Deferred maintenance revenue increased $14 million sequentially and $132 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Total upgrade revenue increased 27 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

    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

    (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.
