Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 16, 2007, Autodesk, Inc. issued a press release reporting its financial results for the three months ended July 31, 2007. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This information 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 furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures, including historical non-GAAP net income and historical and future non-GAAP earnings per share. For our internal budgeting and resource allocation process, Autodesk’s management uses non-GAAP measures that do not include: (a) the stock-based compensation impact of SFAS 123R, (b) amortization of purchased intangibles and purchases of incomplete technology that result in an in-process research and development expense (c) certain payments to employees for tax issues arising from Autodesk’s voluntary stock option review, and (d) certain large and non-recurring litigation expenses. Autodesk’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions because we believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Autodesk’s earning potential. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to competitors’ historical results and operating guidance.

As described above, Autodesk excludes the following items from its non-GAAP measures:

A. Stock compensation impact of SFAS 123R. These expenses consist of expenses for employee stock options and employee stock purchases under SFAS 123R. Autodesk excludes stock-based compensation expenses from our 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. Further, as Autodesk applies SFAS 123R, we believe that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of the application of SFAS 123R to our results of operations.

B. Amortization of purchased intangibles and in-process research and development expenses. Autodesk incurs amortization of acquisition-related purchased intangible assets and charges related to in-process research and development, primarily in connection with its acquisition of certain businesses, such as Alias in January 2006. The amortization of purchased intangibles from a business combination is generally a non-cash expense 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.

C. Reimbursement to employees for tax issues arising from the stock option review. This expense consists of payments made or that may be made to our employees relating to tax payments they may incur as a result of our voluntary stock option review. Autodesk excludes these payments from our non-GAAP measures primarily because it is a non-recurring item 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.

D. Certain litigation expenses. These expenses relate to the accrual of certain amounts related to litigation where Autodesk determined that (1) it is probable that a liability has been incurred and (2) the amount of loss could be reasonably estimated. Autodesk excludes these litigation expenses from our non-GAAP measures because Autodesk does not consider it to be reflective of ongoing operating results in the current period.

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. In addition, 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. Management 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 net income and GAAP earnings per share in our earnings release. The presentation of non-GAAP financial 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. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the information regarding non-GAAP financial measures provided in our press release.

AUTODESK REPORTS RECORD REVENUES OF $526 MILLION

Raises Revenue and Earnings Guidance for Fiscal 2008

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., August 16, 2007-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported record quarterly revenues of $526 million, an increase of 17 percent over the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Second quarter net income was $92 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $108 million, or $0.44 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis. Net income in the second quarter of the prior year was $87 million, or $0.36 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $96 million, or $0.39 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.

“During the second quarter, we executed extremely well -- driving widespread adoption of our 3D and 2D tools, continuing to increase new seat revenue, and increasing sales in emerging economies,” said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. “We have been able to grow significantly by addressing our customers’ competitive challenges. Our numbers demonstrate that we continue to win market share as our revenues have increased significantly faster than our competitors. As a result, we are again raising our guidance for fiscal 2008, to reflect our confidence in our financial performance for the remainder of the fiscal year.”

Operational Highlights

Autodesk’s performance in the second quarter was driven by strong increases in revenue from model-based 3D and 2D vertical design products, revenue in the emerging economies, and revenue from new seats.

The Company’s model-based 3D products and 2D vertical products continue to increase their market penetration. As expected, the changes in dealer incentives implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 are increasing focus on selling model-based 3D and 2D vertical products.

Combined revenues from the Company’s model-based 3D products, Inventor, Revit and Civil 3D software, increased 34 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $122 million and comprised 23 percent of total revenues. In total, Autodesk shipped more than 39,000 commercial seats of 3D in the quarter including 21,000 seats of Revit, 11,000 seats of Inventor and 7,200 seats of Civil 3D. Revenues from 2D vertical products increased 22 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Once again, emerging economies contributed robust growth in revenues. Revenues from the emerging economies in Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America increased 37 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $82 million and represented 15 percent of total revenues.

Revenues from new seats increased by 17 percent compared to the second quarter of last year. Revenues from new seats of Revit and AutoCAD Mechanical were particularly strong, increasing 56 percent and 54 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of last year.

Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue from subscriptions combined increased 16 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $178 million. Maintenance revenue from subscriptions increased 27 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $132 million. Deferred maintenance revenue from subscription increased $12 million sequentially and $100 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Total upgrade revenues decreased 7 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007, as expected. Crossgrade revenue, which is included in total upgrade revenue, increased 29 percent over the second quarter of last year.

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 2007

·	Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $827 million.

Autodesk, Inc.
Non-GAAP Results Disclosure
(In millions)

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 revenues, non-GAAP gross margin, 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, employee tax reimbursements related to our stock option review, litigation expenses, in-process research and development expenses, restructuring expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, and 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.
