Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 28, 2019, Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) issued a press release and prepared remarks reporting financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2019. The press release and prepared remarks are furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
These exhibits shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Autodesk’s consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the press release and prepared remarks furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, provide investors with certain non-GAAP measures, including but not limited to historical non-GAAP net earnings and historical and future non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share. For Autodesk’s
internal budgeting and resource allocation process and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, Autodesk uses non-GAAP measures to supplement its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures do not include certain items that may have a material impact upon Autodesk’s reported financial results. Autodesk uses non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions because Autodesk believes those measures provide meaningful supplemental information for management regarding the Company's earning potential and performance by excluding certain benefits, credits, expenses and charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business operating results. For the reasons set forth below, Autodesk believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by Autodesk’s institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of the Company's business. This allows investors and others to better understand and evaluate Autodesk’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management, compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies, and to better understand the long-term performance of its core business. Autodesk also uses some of these measures for purposes of determining company-wide incentive compensation.
As described above, Autodesk may exclude the following items from its non-GAAP measures:
A. Stock-based compensation expenses. Autodesk excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and management finds it useful to exclude certain non-cash charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use under FASB ASC Topic 718, Autodesk believes that excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between its recurring core business operating results and those of other companies.
B. Amortization of developed technologies and purchased intangibles. Autodesk incurs amortization of acquisition-related developed technology and purchased intangibles in connection with acquisitions of certain businesses and technologies. Amortization of developed technologies and purchased intangibles is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of Autodesk's acquisitions. Management finds it useful to exclude these variable charges from Autodesk's cost of revenues to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Autodesk's revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to its future period revenues as well. Amortization of developed technologies and purchased intangible assets will recur in future periods.
C. CEO transition costs. Autodesk excludes amounts paid to the Company's former CEOs, upon departure under the terms of their transition agreements, including severance payments, acceleration of restricted stock units and continued vesting of performance stock units, and legal fees incurred with the transition. Also excluded from Autodesk's non-GAAP measures are recruiting costs related to the search for a new CEO. These costs represent non-recurring expenses and are not indicative of Autodesk's ongoing operating expenses. Autodesk further believes that excluding the CEO transition costs from its non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.
D. Goodwill impairment. This is a non-cash charge to write-down goodwill to fair value when there was an indication that the asset was impaired. As explained above, management finds it useful to exclude certain non-cash charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.
E. Acquisition related costs. Autodesk excludes certain acquisition related costs, including due diligence costs, professional fees in connection with an acquisition, certain financing costs, and certain integration related expenses. These expenses are unpredictable, and dependent on factors that may be outside of Autodesk's control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired business, or Autodesk. In addition, the size and complexity of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition related costs, may not be indicative of such future costs. Autodesk believes excluding acquisition related costs facilitates the comparison of its financial results to the Autodesk's historical operating results and to other companies in its industry.
F. Restructuring and other exit costs, net. These expenses are associated with realigning Autodesk's business strategies based on current economic conditions. In connection with these restructuring actions or other exit actions, Autodesk recognizes costs related to termination benefits for former employees whose positions were eliminated, the closure of facilities and cancellation of certain contracts. Autodesk excludes these charges because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing business and operating results. Autodesk believes that it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on its total operating expenses.
G. Loss (gain) on strategic investments and dispositions. Autodesk excludes gains and losses related to its strategic investments and dispositions from its non-GAAP measures primarily because management finds it useful to exclude these variable gains and losses on these investments and dispositions in assessing Autodesk's financial results. Included in these amounts are non-cash unrealized gains and losses on the derivative components, dividends received, realized gains and losses on the sales or losses on the impairment of these investments and dispositions. Autodesk believes that excluding these items is useful to investors because these excluded items do not correlate to the underlying performance of its business and these losses or gains were incurred in connection with strategic investments and dispositions which do not occur regularly.
H. Establishment of a valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets. This is a non-cash charge to record a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets. As explained above, management finds it useful to exclude certain non-cash charges to assess the appropriate level of various cash expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.
I. Discrete tax items. Autodesk excludes the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the non-GAAP measure of net (loss) income, and includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. Discrete tax items include income tax expenses or benefits that do not relate to ordinary income from continuing operations in the current fiscal year, unusual or infrequently occurring items, or the tax impact of certain stock-based compensation. Examples of discrete tax items include, but are not limited to, certain changes in judgment and changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years, certain costs related to business combinations, certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets or changes in tax law. Management believes that this approach assists investors in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations. Autodesk believes the exclusion of these discrete tax items provides investors with useful supplemental information about the Company's operational performance.
J. Income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses. The income tax effects that are excluded from the non-GAAP measures relate to the tax impact on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP expenses, primarily due to stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring charges and other exit costs (benefits) for GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP 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. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. Autodesk compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our public disclosures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Autodesk urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosures
On February 28, 2019, Autodesk posted supplemental investor materials on its investors.autodesk.com website. Autodesk intends to use its investors.autodesk.com website as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

"We achieved multiple milestones in fiscal 2019 and are entering fiscal 2020 with strong momentum," said Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk president and CEO. "With less than 20 percent of our revenues coming from maintenance, we are effectively finished with our business model transition and now look forward to executing on our multi-year growth strategy. Our core design offerings and cloud-based solutions for construction, manufacturing and production are benefiting our customers as they undergo their own digital transformations, which offers an ongoing tailwind to our business. We are particularly excited about entering the new fiscal year with an unrivaled portfolio of cloud-based solutions for construction."
"With over $300 million in free cash flow for the year, we delivered well above our target and are demonstrating the cash generating power of our model," said Scott Herren, Autodesk CFO. "Fiscal 2019 was a year of solid execution as we accomplished multiple financial milestones that have positioned us well to keep driving growth in fiscal 2020 and beyond. We're exiting the business model transition with a much more predictable business at 95 percent recurring revenue and feel confident about our free cash flow goal for fiscal 2020."

Business Outlook
The following are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions, and involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below under "Safe Harbor Statement." Autodesk's business outlook for the first quarter and full year fiscal 2020 assumes, among other things, a continuation of the current economic environment and foreign exchange currency rate environment. A reconciliation between the fiscal 2020 GAAP and non-GAAP estimates is provided below or in the tables following this press release.
First Quarter Fiscal 2020
Q1 FY20 Guidance Metrics | Q1 FY20 (ending April 30, 2019) |

(1) We do not expect foreign currency exchange rates or hedge gains/losses to materially impact our revenue guidance.
(2) Non-GAAP spend excludes $310 million related to stock-based compensation expense, $64 million for the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and $31 million for acquisition related costs.
(3) Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes $1.39 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.28 for the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, $0.13 related to acquisition related costs, and ($0.21) related to GAAP-only tax charges.
Tax Rates and Foreign Currency Hedging
The first quarter and full year fiscal 2020 outlook assume a projected annual effective tax rate of 25 percent and 18 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively. Assumptions for the annual effective tax rate are regularly evaluated and may change based on the projected geographic mix of earnings.
The majority of the Euro, Yen, British pound and Australian dollar denominated billings for our first quarter fiscal 2020 have been hedged. This hedging, along with deferred revenue locked-in through prior period billings hedges, will reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our fourth quarter results. However, over an extended period of time, currency fluctuations may increasingly impact our results. We also hedge certain expenses. We hedge our net cash flow exposures using a four quarter rolling layered hedge program. As such, a portion of the projected Euro, Yen, British pound and Australian dollar denominated billings for the remainder of fiscal 2020 have been hedged. The closer to the current time period, the more we are hedged.
Earnings Conference Call and Webcast
Autodesk will host its fourth quarter conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. The live broadcast can be accessed at http://www.autodesk.com/investor. Supplemental financial information and prepared remarks for the conference call will be posted to the investor relations section of Autodesk's website simultaneously with this press release.
A replay of the broadcast will be available at 7:00 p.m. ET at http://www.autodesk.com/investor. This replay will be maintained on Autodesk's website for at least 12 months.
Glossary of Terms
Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR): Represents the annualized value of our average monthly recurring revenue for the preceding three months. "Maintenance plan ARR” captures ARR relating to traditional maintenance attached to perpetual licenses. "Subscription plan ARR" captures ARR relating to subscription offerings. Refer to the definition of recurring revenue below for more details on what is included within ARR. Recurring revenue acquired with the acquisition of a business is captured when total subscriptions are captured in our systems and may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.
ARR is currently one of our key performance metrics to assess the health and trajectory of our business. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is a performance metric and is not intended to be combined with any of these items.
Annualized Revenue Per Subscription (ARPS): Is calculated by dividing our annualized recurring revenue by the total number of subscriptions.
Billings: Total revenue plus net change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period.
5
Cloud Service Offerings: Represents individual term-based offerings deployed through web browser technologies or in a hybrid software and cloud configuration. Cloud service offerings that are bundled with other product offerings are not captured as a separate cloud service offering.
Constant Currency (CC) Growth Rates: We attempt to represent the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as eliminating hedge gains or losses recorded within the current and comparative periods. We calculate constant currency growth rates by (i) applying the applicable prior period exchange rates to current period results and (ii) excluding any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative periods.
Core Business: Represents the combination of maintenance, product, and EBA.
Enterprise Business Agreements (EBAs): Represents programs providing enterprise customers with token-based access or a fixed maximum number of seats to a broad pool of Autodesk products over a defined contract term.
Free Cash Flow: Cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures.
Maintenance Plan: Our maintenance plans provide our customers with a cost effective and predictable budgetary option to obtain the productivity benefits of our new releases and enhancements when and if released during the term of their contracts. Under our maintenance plans, customers are eligible to receive unspecified upgrades when and if available, and technical support. We recognize maintenance revenue over the term of the agreements, generally one year.
Other Revenue: Consists of revenue from consulting, training and other services, and is recognized over time as the services are performed. Other revenue also includes software license revenue from the sale of products which do not incorporate substantial cloud services and is recognized up front.
Product Subscription: Provides customers the most flexible, cost-effective way to access and manage 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software tools. Our product subscriptions currently represent a hybrid of desktop and SaaS functionality, which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders.
Recurring Revenue: Consists of the revenue for the period from our traditional maintenance plans and revenue from our subscription plan offerings. It excludes subscription revenue related to consumer product offerings, select Creative Finishing product offerings, education offerings, and third party products. Recurring revenue acquired with the acquisition of a business is captured when total subscriptions are captured in our systems and may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.
Subscription Plan: Comprises our term-based product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs. Subscriptions represent a combined hybrid offering of desktop software and cloud functionality which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders. With subscription, customers can use our software anytime, anywhere, and get access to the latest updates to previous versions.
Subscription Revenue: Includes subscription fees from product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs.
6
Total Deferred Revenue: Is calculated by adding together total short term, long term, and unbilled deferred revenue.
Total Subscriptions: Consists of subscriptions from our maintenance plans and subscription plan offerings that are active and paid as of the fiscal year end date. For certain cloud service offerings and EBAs, subscriptions represent the monthly average activity reported within the last three months of the fiscal quarter end date. Total subscriptions do not include education offerings, consumer product offerings, select Creative Finishing product offerings, Autodesk Buzzsaw, Autodesk Constructware, and third party products. Subscriptions acquired with the acquisition of a business are captured once the data conforms to our subscription count methodology and when added, may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.
Unbilled Deferred Revenue: Unbilled deferred revenue represents contractually stated or committed orders under early renewal and multi-year billing plans for subscription, services and maintenance for which the associated deferred revenue has not been recognized. Under ASC 606, unbilled deferred revenue is not included as a receivable or deferred revenue on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements in the paragraphs under “Business Outlook” above, statements regarding ARR growth acceleration, other statements about our short-term and long-term goals and targets, statements regarding the impacts and results of our business model transition, expectations regarding the transition of product offerings to subscription and acceptance by our customers and partners of subscriptions, expectations for billings, revenue, subscriptions, spend, EPS, ARR and free cash flow, and other statements regarding our strategies, market and product positions, performance and results. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made in this press release, including: failure to achieve our revenue and profitability objectives; failure to successfully manage transitions to new markets; failure to maintain cost reductions or otherwise control our expenses; failure to continue to innovate to meet competitive offerings;
difficulty in predicting revenue from new businesses; general market, political, economic, and business conditions; any imposition of new tariffs or trade barriers; the impact of non-cash charges on our financial results; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates; the success of our foreign currency hedging program; our performance in particular geographies, including emerging economies; the ability of governments around the world to meet their financial and debt obligations, and finance infrastructure projects; weak or negative growth in the industries we serve; slowing momentum in subscription billings or revenues; difficulties encountered in integrating new or acquired businesses and technologies; the inability to identify and realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; the financial and business condition of our reseller and distribution channels; dependence on and the timing of large transactions; pricing pressure; unexpected fluctuations in our annual effective tax rate; significant effects of tax legislation and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; the timing and degree of expected investments in growth and efficiency opportunities; changes in the timing of product releases and retirements; and any unanticipated accounting charges. Our estimates as to tax rate are based on current tax law, including current interpretations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and could be affected by changing interpretations of that Act, as well as additional legislation and guidance around that Act.
Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of Autodesk are included in Autodesk's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2018, July 31, 2018, and October 31, 2018, which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Autodesk disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.

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 gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP diluted shares used in per share calculation and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including stock-based compensation expense, CEO transition costs, restructuring charges and other facility exit costs, acquisition related costs, amortization of developed technology, amortization of purchased intangibles, gain and loss on strategic investments and dispositions, 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 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. | |||||||||||||||

AUTODESK, INC. (ADSK)
FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2019 EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT
FEBRUARY 28, 2019
PREPARED REMARKS
Autodesk posts its prepared remarks, press release and earnings call presentation to its investor relations website to provide shareholders and analysts with additional detail to analyze results prior to its quarterly conference call. Starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Autodesk will replace this prepared remarks document with a new earnings call presentation. The call begins today, February 28, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET) and will include only brief comments followed by Q&A.
To access the broadcast of the Q&A session, visit the investor relations section of our website at www.autodesk.com/investor. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the tables following these prepared remarks.
Adoption of ASC 606
Starting the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Autodesk reports its results under two new accounting standards. Revenue is now reported under Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 606 and sales commissions are now reported under ASC 340-40. We did not recast historical information as we elected to use the modified retrospective transition method. These new standards did not result in a change in timing or amount of revenue recognized for the majority of our maintenance and subscription offerings, though there may be immaterial shifts in the timing of revenue recognition due to the elimination of vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) requirements and other differences between the standards. However, we are required to capitalize and amortize sales commissions under the new standards. ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 do not affect cash flows or subscriptions. We will discontinue reporting on the ASC 605 comparisons starting next quarter.

(5) The sum of Core ARR and Cloud ARR does not foot to Total ARR due to rounding.
Total ARR for the fourth quarter increased 34 percent to $2.75 billion compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported, and 32 percent on a constant currency basis. On a sequential basis, total ARR increased 9 percent as reported, and on a constant currency basis. Both year-over-year and sequential growth in total ARR were driven by growth in all subscription plan types, led by product subscription, partially offset by a decrease in maintenance plan ARR.
Total ARR includes $27 million of ARR from the fourth quarter acquisitions, or 1 percentage point of the year-over-year and sequential increases.
Subscription plan ARR was $2.20 billion and increased 87 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported, and 85 percent on a constant currency basis. Subscription plan ARR includes $470 million related to the maintenance-to-subscription (M2S) program. Year-over-year growth in subscription plan ARR was driven by growth in all subscription plan types, led by product subscription (including the M2S program). Subscription plan ARR includes $27 million of ARR from the fourth quarter acquisitions, or 2 percentage points of the year-over-year increase. On a sequential basis, subscription plan ARR increased 14 percent as reported, and on a constant currency basis. Sequential growth in subscription plan ARR was primarily driven by product subscription (including the M2S program). On a sequential basis, the fourth quarter acquisitions equated to 1 percentage point of the increase.
Maintenance plan ARR was $549 million and decreased 38 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported, and 39 percent on a constant currency basis. On a sequential basis, maintenance plan ARR decreased 9 percent as reported, and on a constant currency basis. Both the year-over-year and sequential decline in maintenance plan ARR were primarily driven by the migration of maintenance plan subscriptions to product subscriptions through the M2S program.

Total subscriptions include 127,000 subscriptions from the fourth quarter acquisitions, which accounted for 3 percentage points of the year-over-year and sequential increases.
Subscription plan subscriptions were 3.53 million, a net increase of 418,000 from the third quarter of this year. Growth in subscription plan subscriptions was driven by growth in all subscription plan types, led by product subscription. Subscription plan subscriptions benefited from 110,000 maintenance subscribers that converted to product subscription under the M2S program. Subscription plan subscriptions include 127,000 subscriptions from the fourth quarter acquisitions.
Maintenance plan subscriptions were 796,000, a net decrease of 166,000 from the third quarter of this year. Maintenance plan subscriptions decreased primarily as a result of the M2S program in which 110,000 maintenance subscriptions converted to product subscription. The net decrease was expected and we will continue to see ongoing declines in maintenance plan subscriptions going forward. The rate of
3
decline will vary based on the number of subscriptions that come up for renewal, the renewal rate, and the number of customers that participate in the M2S program.
Core business subscriptions, which represent subscriptions from the combination of maintenance, product, and EBA subscriptions, were 3.62 million, a net increase of 74,000 from the third quarter of this year.

(6) The adoption of ASC 606 required a change to the definition of unbilled deferred revenue. Unbilled deferred revenue represents contractually stated or committed orders under early renewal and multi-year billing plans primarily for subscription, services for which the associated deferred revenue has not been recognized. Under ASC 606, unbilled deferred revenue is not included as a receivable or deferred revenue on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Deferred revenue was $2.09 billion, an increase of 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. The increase is primarily related to the increase in subscription plan billings over the past four quarters driven by the business model transition. Unbilled deferred revenue at the end of the fourth quarter was $591 million, an increase of $140 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase is related primarily to annual billing terms for multi-year EBA contracts. Total deferred revenue (deferred revenue plus unbilled deferred revenue) was $2.68 billion, an increase of approximately 18 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year.
Included in deferred revenue was a $36 million contribution from the fourth quarter acquisitions, or 2 percentage points of the year-over-year increase. Included in unbilled deferred revenue was a $61 million contribution from the fourth quarter acquisitions. Included in total deferred revenue was a $97 million contribution from the fourth quarter acquisitions, or 4 percentage points of the year-over-year increase.

Margins and EPS Review
GAAP gross margin in the fourth quarter increased to 90 percent, compared to 87 percent in the fourth quarter last year. Non-GAAP gross margin in the fourth quarter increased to 91 percent, compared to 88 percent in the fourth quarter last year. The increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin is primarily related to the increase in revenue.
10
GAAP operating expenses decreased 6 percent, compared to the fourth quarter last year primarily related to lower restructuring costs. Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 5 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year driven primarily by higher employee-related costs, partially offset by lower commissions related to ASC 340.
Total GAAP spend (cost of revenue plus operating expenses) was $697 million, a decrease of 5 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year, and on a constant currency basis. Absent ASC 340, total GAAP spend was $710 million, a decrease of 3 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. The changes in GAAP total spend were primarily related to the lower restructuring costs noted above. Total GAAP spend includes $31 million related to the fourth quarter acquisitions or a negative impact of 4 percentage points on the year-over-year total spend decrease.
Total non-GAAP spend was $598 million, an increase of 5 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year and on a constant currency basis. Absent ASC 340, total non-GAAP spend was $611 million, an increase of 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. The changes in non-GAAP total spend were primarily related to the higher employee-related costs, partially offset by lower commissions related to ASC 340. Total non-GAAP spend includes $12 million related to the fourth quarter acquisitions, or 2 percentage points of the increase.
GAAP operating margin was 5 percent compared to (33) percent in the fourth quarter last year driven by the increase in revenue and lower restructuring costs. Non-GAAP operating margin was 19 percent compared to (3) percent in the fourth quarter last year driven primarily by the increase in revenue and lower commissions related to ASC 340, partially offset by higher employee-related costs.
The fourth quarter GAAP effective tax rate was (96) percent. The fourth quarter non-GAAP effective tax rate was 19 percent.
GAAP diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter was $0.29. Under ASC 605 and absent ASC 340, GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.06. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter was $0.46. Under ASC 605 and absent ASC 340, non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.32.

Business Outlook
The following are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions, and involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below under "Safe Harbor Statement." Autodesk's business outlook for the first quarter and full year fiscal 2020 assumes, among other things, a continuation of the current economic environment and foreign currency exchange rate environment. A reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP estimates for fiscal 2020 is provided below or in the tables following these prepared remarks.

(1) We do not expect foreign currency exchange rates or hedge gains/losses to materially impact our revenue guidance.
(2) Non-GAAP spend excludes $310 million related to stock-based compensation expense, $64 million for the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and $31 million for acquisition related costs.
(3) Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes $1.39 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.28 for the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, $0.13 related to acquisition related costs, and ($0.21) related to GAAP-only tax charges.
Tax Rates and Foreign Currency Hedging
The first quarter and full year fiscal 2020 outlook assume a projected annual effective tax rate of 25 percent and 18 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively. Assumptions for the annual effective tax rate are regularly evaluated and may change based on the projected geographic mix of earnings. At this stage of the business model transition, small shifts in geographic profitability significantly impact the annual effective tax rate.
The majority of the Euro, Yen, British pound and Australian dollar denominated billings for our first quarter fiscal 2020 have been hedged. This hedging, along with deferred revenue locked-in through prior period billings hedges, will reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our fourth quarter results. However, over an extended period of time, currency fluctuations may increasingly impact our results. We also hedge certain expenses as noted below. We hedge our net cash flow exposures using a four quarter rolling layered hedge program. As such, a portion of the projected Euro, Yen, British pound and Australian dollar denominated billings for the remainder of fiscal 2020 have been hedged. The closer to the current time period, the more we are hedged. See below for more details on our foreign currency hedging program.
Autodesk’s Foreign Currency Hedging Program and Calculation of Constant Currency Growth
Given continued foreign currency exchange rate volatility, we provide a brief summary of how we handle foreign currency exchange hedging as well as a description of how we calculate constant currency growth rates. A few points on our hedging program include:
• | We do not conduct foreign currency hedging for speculative purposes. The purpose of our hedging program is to reduce risk to foreign denominated cash flows and to partially reduce variability that would otherwise impact our financial results from currency fluctuations. |
• | We utilize cash flow hedges on projected billings and certain projected operating expenses in major currencies. We hedge our net exposures using a four quarter rolling layered hedge. The closer to the current time period, the more we are hedged. |
• | We designate cash flow hedges for deferred and non-deferred billings, and reflect associated gains and losses on hedging contracts in our earnings when respective revenue is recognized in earnings. |
• | On a monthly basis, to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate gains/losses, we hedge net monetary assets and liabilities recorded in non-functional currencies on the books of certain USD functional entities where these exposures are purposefully concentrated. |
• | From time to time, we hedge strategic exposures which may be related to acquisitions. Such hedges may not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked-to-market and reflected in earnings immediately. |
• | The major currencies in our hedging program include the Euro, Yen, Swiss franc, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. The Euro is the primary exposure for the company. |
13
When we report period-over-period growth rate percentages on a constant currency basis, we attempt to represent the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as eliminating hedge gains or losses recorded within the current and comparative period. However, when we calculate the foreign currency impact of exchange rates in the current and comparative period on our financial results (see table above in “Foreign Currency Impact” section) we include the U.S. Dollar impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as well as the impact of gains and losses recorded as a result of our hedging program.
Glossary of Terms
Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR): Represents the annualized value of our average monthly recurring revenue for the preceding three months. "Maintenance plan ARR” captures ARR relating to traditional maintenance attached to perpetual licenses. "Subscription plan ARR" captures ARR relating to subscription offerings. Refer to the definition of recurring revenue below for more details on what is included within ARR. Recurring revenue acquired with the acquisition of a business is captured when total subscriptions are captured in our systems and may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.
ARR is currently one of our key performance metrics to assess the health and trajectory of our business. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is a performance metric and is not intended to be combined with any of these items.
Annualized Revenue Per Subscription (ARPS): Is calculated by dividing our annualized recurring revenue by the total number of subscriptions.
Billings: Total revenue plus net change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period.
Cloud Service Offerings: Represents individual term-based offerings deployed through web browser technologies or in a hybrid software and cloud configuration. Cloud service offerings that are bundled with other product offerings are not captured as a separate cloud service offering.
Constant Currency (CC) Growth Rates: We attempt to represent the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as eliminating hedge gains or losses recorded within the current and comparative periods. We calculate constant currency growth rates by (i) applying the applicable prior period exchange rates to current period results and (ii) excluding any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative periods.
Core business: Represents the combination of maintenance, product, and EBA.
Enterprise Business Agreements (EBAs): Represents programs providing enterprise customers with token-based access or a fixed maximum number of seats to a broad pool of Autodesk products over a defined contract term.
Free Cash Flow: Cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures.
Maintenance Plan: Our maintenance plans provide our customers with a cost effective and predictable budgetary option to obtain the productivity benefits of our new releases and enhancements when and if released during the term of their contracts. Under our maintenance plans, customers are eligible to receive unspecified
14
upgrades when and if available, and technical support. We recognize maintenance revenue over the term of the agreements, generally one year.
Other Revenue: Consists of revenue from consulting, training and other services, and is recognized over time as the services are performed. Other revenue also includes software license revenue from the sale of products which do not incorporate substantial cloud services and is recognized up front.
Product Subscription: Provides customers the most flexible, cost-effective way to access and manage 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software tools. Our product subscriptions currently represent a hybrid of desktop and SaaS functionality, which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders.
Recurring Revenue: Consists of the revenue for the period from our traditional maintenance plans and revenue from our subscription plan offerings. It excludes subscription revenue related to consumer product offerings, select Creative Finishing product offerings, education offerings, and third party products. Recurring revenue acquired with the acquisition of a business is captured when total subscriptions are captured in our systems and may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.
Subscription Plan: Comprises our term-based product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs. Subscriptions represent a combined hybrid offering of desktop software and cloud functionality which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders. With subscription, customers can use our software anytime, anywhere, and get access to the latest updates to previous versions.
Subscription revenue: Includes subscription fees from product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs.
Total Deferred Revenue: Is calculated by adding together total short term, long term, and unbilled deferred revenue.
Total Subscriptions: Consists of subscriptions from our maintenance plans and subscription plan offerings that are active and paid as of the fiscal year end date. For certain cloud service offerings and EBAs, subscriptions represent the monthly average activity reported within the last three months of the fiscal quarter end date. Total subscriptions do not include education offerings, consumer product offerings, select Creative Finishing product offerings, Autodesk Buzzsaw, Autodesk Constructware, and third party products. Subscriptions acquired with the acquisition of a business are captured once the data conforms to our subscription count methodology and when added, may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.
Unbilled Deferred Revenue: Unbilled deferred revenue represents contractually stated or committed orders under early renewal and multi-year billing plans for subscription, services and maintenance for which the associated deferred revenue has not been recognized. Under ASC 606, unbilled deferred revenue is not included as a receivable or deferred revenue on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Safe Harbor Statement
These prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements in the paragraphs under “Business Outlook” above, other statements about our short-term targets, statements regarding the impacts and results of our business model transition, expectations regarding the transition of product offerings to subscription and acceptance by our customers and partners of subscriptions, expectations for billings, revenue, subscriptions, spend, EPS, ARR and free cash flow, statements about the expansion of our market opportunity, statements about our restructuring activities, statements regarding the impact of ASC 606 and ASC 340, and other statements regarding our strategies, market and product positions, performance and results. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made in these remarks, including: failure to successfully manage transitions to new markets, including: fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates; the success of our foreign currency hedging program; failure to control our expenses; our performance in particular geographies, including emerging economies; the ability of governments around the world to meet their financial and debt obligations, and finance infrastructure projects; weak or negative growth in the industries we serve; slowing momentum in subscription billings or revenues; general market, political, economic and business conditions; any imposition of tariffs or trade barriers; the impact of non-cash charges on our financial results; failure to maintain our revenue growth and profitability; difficulties encountered in integrating new or acquired businesses and technologies; the inability to identify and realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; the financial and business condition of our reseller and distribution channels; dependence on and the timing of large transactions; pricing pressure; unexpected fluctuations in our annual effective tax rate; significant effects of tax legislation and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; the timing and degree of expected investments in growth and efficiency opportunities; the timing and degree of expected investments in growth and efficiency opportunities; changes in the timing of product releases and retirements; and any unanticipated accounting charges. Our estimates as to tax rates are based on current tax law, including current interpretations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and could be affected by changing interpretations of that Act, as well as additional legislation and guidance around that Act.
Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of Autodesk are included in Autodesk's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2018, July 31, 2018, and October 31, 2018, which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP diluted shares used in per share calculation and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including stock-based compensation expense, CEO transition costs, restructuring charges and other facility exit costs, acquisition related costs, amortization of developed technology, amortization of purchased intangibles, gain and loss on strategic investments and dispositions, 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 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. | |||||||||||||||
