Revenue of $456 million up 9% sequentially

GAAP EPS of $0.21 up 62% sequentially

Non-GAAP EPS of $0.30 up 11% sequentially

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 23, 2010 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2010.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2010

Revenue was $456 million, an increase of 9 percent sequentially and a decrease of 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.21, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.13 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, and diluted loss per share of $0.47 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.30, compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.27 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.31 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
Cash flow from operations was $126 million, an increase of 169 percent sequentially and 45 percent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

“We finished the year with better than anticipated revenue and profitability in the fourth quarter,” said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. “These results were driven by a sequentially improving demand environment and continued competitive displacements. In addition to our focus on growth, cost containment contributed to our performance.”

Driving the performance in revenue and profitability were sequential increases in revenue from commercial new seat licenses, revenue from every Geography, revenue from each product type, as well as revenue from our Manufacturing, AEC, and Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segments.

“Fiscal 2010 was a challenging year by any measure,” continued Bass. “We took action to significantly reduce our cost structure and increase our efficiency. As a result, we greatly exceeded our initial goal of pre-tax cost savings of $250 million. Those actions, and our continued investments in essential parts of our business, helped strengthen Autodesk and position the company for long-term growth and success. Going forward, we will continue to build on our foundation as a world leader in design, engineering, and entertainment software.”

Business Outlook

The following are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are set forth below.

First Quarter Fiscal 2011

For the first quarter of fiscal 2011, Autodesk expects revenue to be in the range of $420 million to $440 million. On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.02 and $0.07. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.18 and $0.23, excluding $0.08 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.05 for amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and $0.03 related to restructuring charges.

First quarter outlook assumes an effective tax rate of 27 percent. The increase in the tax rates from fiscal 2010 is primarily due to expiration of a research and development tax credit.

Full Year Fiscal 2011

Autodesk is not providing specific revenue or EPS guidance for fiscal 2011 at this time. However, operating margin on a GAAP basis for the full year fiscal 2011 is expected to increase significantly compared to fiscal 2010. Autodesk continues to anticipate modest improvement in non-GAAP operating margin for full year fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2011, non-GAAP operating margin excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and restructuring related charges.

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 profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP interest and other income, net, non-GAAP provision for income taxes and non-GAAP total spend savings. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, in-process research and development expenses, restructuring charges, goodwill and intangibles 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.

***	In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Autodesk changed its methodology for allocating certain revenue transactions, including gains and losses from foreign currency. The second quarter of fiscal 2010 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The change in methodology did not have a material effect on any other period.

(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 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, restructuring charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, 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 Autodesk's press release.
