Autodesk Fourth Quarter Driven by Strong Growth in Suites and Cash Flow

Company Reiterates Long-term Financial Targets

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 26, 2014 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended January, 31, 2014. Revenue was $587 million. Normalized for the business model transition, revenue would have experienced approximately 2 percent growth year-over-year. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.23 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.40.

Fourth quarter results exclude approximately $30 million of license revenue that was deferred as a result of the company's business model transition.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights

"We closed our fiscal year with momentum marked by strong growth in suites and demand for our Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) solutions," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "Demand accelerated for our world leading portfolio of building information modeling (BIM) solutions. Our cloud-based BIM 360 tools had a terrific quarter as we continue to enable greater mobility and collaboration for our construction customers. Our cloud-based PLM 360 business also experienced continued momentum and had its best quarter to date."

Fourth Quarter Operational Overview

The business model transition (noted above) was related primarily to flexible license arrangements with certain enterprise customers. In the fourth quarter, the business model transition had particular impact on license revenue in the Americas and the AEC business segment.

Revenue in the Americas was $207 million. EMEA revenue was $229 million. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $150 million. Revenue from emerging economies was $88 million and represented 15 percent of total revenue in the fourth quarter.

Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business (PSEB) segment was $196 million. Revenue from the AEC business segment was $196 million. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment was $154 million. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business (M&E) segment was $41 million.

Revenue from Flagship products was $288 million. Revenue from Suites was $216 million. Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $83 million.

"We were pleased with our fourth quarter performance, which included strong growth in cash flow from operations, solid growth in deferred revenue, and a significant sequential increase in backlog," said Mark Hawkins, Autodesk executive vice president and CFO. "We remain confident in our long-term model, which calls for a 12 percent billings compounded annual growth rate, 20 percent more annual value from our new and existing subscriptions, and a 50 percent increase in subscriptions by the end of our fiscal 2018. We believe we can accomplish this while getting to a 30 percent non-GAAP operating margin by the end of fiscal 2018."

“We are at the very beginning of a platform and model transition that will propel Autodesk to the future," Bass added. “We are focused on driving our subscription base, annual subscription value, and billings over the next four years and beyond. As anticipated, our transformation will start gradually and we expect will gain momentum as we go forward."

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 cost of license and other revenue, non-GAAP cost of subscription revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP restructuring charges (benefits), non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), non-GAAP provision for income taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share. 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 investments, 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 GAAP 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 gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share. 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 investments, 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, 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 GAAP 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 Guidance:                    

The following is a reconciliation of anticipated full year fiscal 2015 GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins:
                     
FY15 Revenue Growth   3%   5%            
GAAP operating margin   5 %     8 %              
Stock-based compensation expense   6 %     5 %

Non-GAAP operating margin   14 %     16 %              
                     
Reconciliation for Long Term Operating Margins:                    
Autodesk is not able to provide targets for our long term (ending with fiscal year 2018) 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.
