Strong Growth in Operating Margin, EPS, and Cash Flow from Operating Activities

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Nov 18, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

  • Revenue was $477 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and 1 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
  • GAAP operating margin was 15 percent, compared to 6 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and 17 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin was 21 percent, compared to 18 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and 25 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.23, compared to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.13 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.25 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.32, compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.26 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.36 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
  • Cash flow from operating activities was $114 million, an increase of 145 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and 3 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

"We are pleased with our third quarter results, which reflect the solid progress we have achieved over the past year in driving revenue growth and improving profitability," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "We saw particular strength in our manufacturing business, which experienced strong demand on a global basis. We also delivered double digit year-over-year revenue growth in each of our geographies. Strong revenue coupled with tight cost controls led to a significant year-over-year improvement in profitability. Our relentless attention to building and selling great products allows us to serve our customers well and capitalize on a $14 billion market opportunity."

"As a result of strong revenue growth and a focus on cost controls, for the year we expect to deliver significant improvement in key financial metrics, including revenue, operating margin, EPS, and cash flow from operating activities," said Mark Hawkins, Autodesk Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. "Our revenue growth in the third quarter was well balanced with all of our top countries growing year-over-year. Going forward, we are optimistic about our ability to grow revenue and profitability, though we continue to be pragmatic about the pace of the global macroeconomic recovery."

Operational Overview

EMEA revenue was $183 million and increased 15 percent compared to the third quarter last year as reported and 19 percent on a constant currency basis. EMEA revenue decreased 3 percent sequentially as reported and 7 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue in the Americas was $179 million and increased 10 percent compared to the third quarter last year and 7 percent sequentially.

Revenue in Asia Pacific was $115 million and increased 22 percent compared to the third quarter last year as reported and 19 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased 1 percent sequentially as reported and 2 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue from emerging economies was $76 million, an increase of 23 percent compared to the third quarter last year as reported and 25 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies increased 7 percent sequentially as reported and 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies represented 16 percent of total revenue in the third quarter.

All constant currency calculations remove the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and any gains or losses recorded to revenue within the current period as a result of Autodesk's hedging program.

Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment was $174 million, an increase of 12 percent compared to the third quarter last year and a decrease of 2 percent sequentially. Revenue from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction business segment was $136 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the third quarter last year and 3 percent sequentially. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment was $117 million, an increase of 30 percent compared to the third quarter last year and 4 percent sequentially. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment was $50 million, an increase of 5 percent compared to the third quarter last year and 2 percent sequentially.

Third quarter operating margins increased significantly year-over-year. The 9 percentage point improvement in GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by higher revenue, reduced stock-based compensation expenses, and the absence of restructuring charges in the current quarter. The 3 percentage point year-over-year improvement in non-GAAP operating margin was driven primarily by higher revenue.

Cash flow from operating activities was $114 million, compared to $47 million in the third quarter last year, and $112 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Autodesk's cash and investments balance at the end of the third quarter was over $1.3 billion.

Business Outlook

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

Full Year Fiscal 2011

Net revenue for fiscal 2011 is expected to increase by 12 to 13 percent compared to fiscal 2010 and be in the range of $1.924 billion and $1.944 billion. GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to increase more than 230 percent compared to fiscal 2010 and be in the range of $0.83 and $0.86. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to increase by 28 to 31 percent and be in the range of $1.27 and $1.30. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2011 exclude $0.24 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.17 for amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and $0.03 related to restructuring charges, net of tax.

Autodesk anticipates GAAP operating margin for fiscal 2011 to increase between 950 and 990 basis points for full year fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP operating margin is expected to increase between 430 and 460 basis points for full year fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP operating margin excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and restructuring charges.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2011

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 is expected to be in the range of $500 million and $520 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.19 and $0.22. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.30 and $0.33 and exclude $0.06 related to stock-based compensation expense, and $0.05 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of tax.

Fourth quarter outlook assumes an effective tax rate of 25 percent for GAAP results and 27 percent for non-GAAP results.

Full Year Fiscal 2012

Net revenue for fiscal 2012 is expected to increase by approximately 10 percent compared to fiscal 2011. GAAP operating margin for fiscal 2012 is expected to increase as the company recorded restructuring charges in fiscal 2011 that it does not anticipate recording in fiscal 2012. Autodesk is not able to provide targets for 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. Autodesk anticipates fiscal 2012 non-GAAP operating margin to increase by approximately 200 basis points compared to fiscal 2011. Autodesk is not providing specific EPS guidance for fiscal 2012 at this time.

Non-GAAP operating margin excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

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 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, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges, 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 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 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 total spend, non-GAAP income from operations 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 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.
