    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,  amortization of
    purchased intangibles, in-process research and development expenses,
    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) Totals may not agree with the sum of the components due to rounding.
    (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, amortization of
    purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, restructuring charges,
    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.
