Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On May 21, 2009, Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) issued a press release and prepared remarks reporting financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2009.  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 our internal budgeting and resource allocation process, Autodesk’s management uses these non-GAAP measures that do not include: (a) the stock-based compensation impact of SFAS 123R, (b) amortization of purchased intangibles and purchases of technology, (c) goodwill impairment, (d) establishment of a valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets, (e) restructuring charges and (f) the income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and 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 our and our 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-based compensation 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.
 
B. Amortization of purchased intangibles. Autodesk incurs amortization of acquisition-related purchased intangible assets, primarily in connection with its acquisition of certain businesses and technologies. The amortization of purchased intangibles varies depending on the level of acquisition activity, and management finds it useful to exclude these variable charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.
 
C. 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.
 
D. 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 due to a recent change in California state tax law. As explained above, management finds it useful to exclude certain non-cash charges to assess the appropriate level of various expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.
 
E. Restructuring charges. These expenses are associated with realigning our business strategies based on current economic conditions. In connection with these restructuring actions, we recognize costs related to termination benefits for former employees whose positions were eliminated, and the closure of facilities and cancelation of certain contracts. We exclude these charges because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the current period.
 

 
F. Income tax effects. 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 costs and expenses, primarily due to differences in the timing of when income tax benefits are recognized for stock compensation and purchased intangibles for GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
 
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 measures in our earnings release and prepared remarks. 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 and prepared remarks.
 
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
 
On May 18, 2009, the Board of Directors of Autodesk approved a world-wide restructuring plan that includes a reduction in force that will result in the termination of approximately 6% of the Company’s workforce. The Company expects to substantially complete the reduction in force by the end of its third quarter of fiscal 2010 (ending October 31, 2009). In addition, by the end of its fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 (ending January 31, 2010), the Company intends to close all or certain portions of up to 32 of its leased facilities. The Company is taking these actions in order to reduce costs, streamline operations, and improve its cost structure in the current operating environment.
 
The Company anticipates incurring restructuring and impairment charges of $33 million to $40 million, of which, $20 million to $25 million would be for one-time employee termination benefits and $13 million to $15 million would be for facilities-related costs. Substantially all of these charges will be expensed in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 (ending July 31, 2009), and third quarter of fiscal 2010 (ending October 31, 2009). These charges would result in cash payments of approximately $31 million to $38 million, consisting of one-time employee termination and lease termination payments.
 
Item 2.06. Material Impairments.
 
On May 20, 2009, Autodesk concluded that it will be required to record an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of its goodwill in its Media and Entertainment segment associated with the acquisition of Softimage in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 (ended January 31, 2009), largely as a result of its forecasted future cash flows from its Media and Entertainment segment. Autodesk expects to record a material non-cash charge in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009 of $21 million.

AUTODESK REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS
 
Implements Previously Announced Plan To Further Reduce Expenses

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 21, 2009-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

·  
Revenue was $426 million, a decrease of 29 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
 
·  
GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.14, compared to earnings of $0.41 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.
 
·  
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the first quarter was $0.18, compared to $0.50 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.  A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the tables within this press release.
 
·  
Autodesk began implementing a previously announced expense reduction plan, which is anticipated to result in pre-tax cost savings of approximately $120 million in fiscal 2010.

“Our revenue results for the quarter continue to reflect the global economic downturn, which is impacting our business on almost every front," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "We made significant progress in our continued effort to improve our cost structure and ongoing efficiencies, which resulted in lower than expected operating costs for the quarter and greater than expected earnings per share and cash flow.”

Operational Overview
By geography, EMEA revenue was $167 million, a decrease of 35 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as reported, and a decrease of 24 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in the Americas decreased 15 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009, to $163 million. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $96 million, a decrease of 36 percent as reported and on a constant currency basis year-over-year. Revenue from emerging economies decreased 42 percent, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $59 million and represented 14 percent of total revenue.

Combined revenue from Autodesk's model-based 3D design solutions decreased 16 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $122 million and comprised 29 percent of total revenue for the quarter.  Revenue from 2D horizontal and vertical products decreased 39 percent to $208 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Combined revenue from AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, two of our important 2D horizontal products, declined 42 percent.
 

 
Further Reducing Expenses
Autodesk began implementing its new expense reduction plan, which was announced in April.  The plan is anticipated to result in pre-tax cost savings of approximately $120 million in fiscal 2010.  Combined with the expense reduction initiatives announced in January, Autodesk anticipates achieving approximately $250 million in total cost savings in fiscal 2010, as compared to fiscal 2009.

The new expense reduction initiatives will be achieved by reducing discretionary spending and contingent labor, and through a restructuring plan.  The restructuring plan will result in a staff reduction of approximately 430 and the closure of certain facilities.  The staff reduction will be partially offset by the hiring of approximately 100 key positions in select areas.

The company anticipates taking a pre-tax restructuring charge in the range of $33 million to $40 million. Approximately $29 million to $35 million in pre-tax charges will be taken in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Most of the remaining charge will be taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

“While we have already achieved significant cost savings, it was clear that additional measures had to be taken in order to better align our cost structure with current revenue expectations,” Bass continued.  “The ultimate goal of these measures is to reduce our near-term expenses as well as further improve our operational efficiencies over the long-term.  We will continue to balance these cost reduction actions with strategic investments as we navigate the current economic cycle and position Autodesk for long-term success.”

Business Outlook
The following statements are forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and which involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below. Autodesk is only providing revenue and earnings per share guidance for its fiscal second quarter of 2010 at this time.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 is expected to be in the range of $395 million and $420 million. GAAP loss per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.09 and $0.03. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.15 and $0.20 and exclude restructuring related charges of between $0.10 and $0.11, $0.08 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.05 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

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, 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.

(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.

1Q Fiscal 2010 Overview
 
Our results for the quarter continue to reflect the global economic downturn, which is impacting our business on almost every front.  Global macro economic conditions did not show signs of improvement during the first quarter and our business visibility remains limited.

·  
Revenue was $426 million, a decrease of 29 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 13 percent sequentially.
·  
GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.14, compared to earnings of $0.41 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.
·  
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the first quarter was $0.18, compared to $0.50 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.

In the past we have indicated that job losses and the availability of credit in the major industries we serve are important indicators for our business.  There have been significant job losses around the world over the past six months. As an example, last month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that over the past six months, construction job losses have averaged 120,000 per month, compared with 46,000 per month from December 2007 through October 2008.  Additionally, it did not appear that the flow of credit to our customers and partners improved during the first quarter.
 

 
While our broader addressable markets remain depressed, there continue to be some relative bright spots.  Our government business grew on a year-over-year basis and is positioned for a potential increase in state and local infrastructure spending.  Additionally, our direct business with large enterprises around the world also grew year-over-year.  A common theme in the conversations we’re having with customers is that the economic environment is forcing our customers to focus on efficiency and productivity, while trying to increase their competitive advantage.  Although not evident in our results, we continue to expand our customer base by winning new accounts every day.  These new accounts are with enterprises that we have historically have not done business with and represent an important future growth opportunity.

A stand-out direct sale during the quarter was with one of the largest AEC firms in the world.  Valued at $16 million over several years, this transaction includes the license of over 5,000 seats and is the biggest transaction in Autodesk’s history.  Our world-class solutions, broad product portfolio, and global presence were key to this sale.

While all of our major product categories posted year-over-year declines, revenue from our model-based 3D solutions fared better than 2D products.  2D is being hit hard as job losses continue and customers are cutting back on the total number of seats purchased.  Customers see the advantage that our 3D solutions provide and they are focusing their spend on upgrading their design and engineering capabilities.  The value proposition of our 3D products is resonating stronger as customers seek to increase their competitive advantage, in a cost effective way.

Because our business visibility remains impaired and there is currently no way for us to tell when and how the recovery will evolve, we continue to take action to better align our expenses with our current revenue outlook.
 

 
We made good progress in reducing our operating expenses and improving our ongoing efficiencies during the quarter.  In addition, today we announced the implementation of an additional expense reduction plan that we previewed last month.  This new initiative is expected save the company approximately $120 million in pre-tax operating expenses in fiscal 2010.  The benefit of most of these cost savings will begin in the second quarter and continue throughout the year.  Combined with the savings initiatives announced in January, Autodesk anticipates achieving approximately $250 million in pre-tax cost savings in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009.

The new expense reduction initiatives will be achieved by reducing discretionary spending and contingent labor, and through a restructuring plan.  The restructuring plan will result in a staff reduction of approximately 430 and the closure of certain facilities.  The staff reduction will be partially offset by the hiring of approximately 100 key positions in select areas.

The company anticipates taking a pre-tax restructuring charge in the range of $33 million to $40 million. Approximately $29 million to $35 million in pre-tax charges will be taken in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Most of the remaining charge will be taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

These actions are intended to help us strengthen our profitability while ensuring our ability to strategically invest to further strengthen our market leadership position in design software.

New CFO
 
Autodesk announced the hiring of our new CFO, Mark Hawkins during the quarter.  Mark started less than a month ago and comes to us from Logitech where he had been CFO.  He brings a 25-year proven track record of driving financial performance and operations at companies such as Dell and HP.  We are pleased to hire an executive with Mark’s credentials and experience and look forward to his input and contributions as we move forward.  We also thank our finance organization for the fantastic job they did during the transition period.

Maintenance revenue
  $ 167     $ 180     $ 186     $ 180     $ 712     $ 182  
 
Total revenue for the first quarter was $426 million, a decrease of 29 percent as reported and 24 percent at constant currency.  Total revenue decreased 13 percent sequentially.
 
License and other revenue decreased 44 percent due primarily to a 52 percent decline in new seat license revenue.  License revenue declined 21 percent sequentially.
 
Maintenance revenue was $182 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the first quarter of last year.  Maintenance revenue was approximately flat sequentially.  Maintenance billings declined 14 percent year-over-year and 18 percent sequentially, due to fewer new seats sold and a decrease in renewal rates as customers have reduced their work force resulting in fewer seats to renew.

EMEA revenue decreased 35 percent as reported and 24 percent at constant currency.  EMEA revenue declined 24% sequentially as we experienced sharp declines in revenue from emerging economies in Russia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
 
Revenue in the Americas declined 15 percent compared to the first quarter last year and decreased 5 percent sequentially.  While this is the sixth quarter of the economic downturn in Americas, we do not believe the environment has stabilized.
 

 
Revenue from Asia Pacific decreased 36 percent on both an as reported basis and at constant currency as a result of declines in all the APAC regions.  Revenue from APAC declined 4 percent sequentially.

The greatest year-over-year revenue deceleration was in emerging economies, which declined 42 percent compared to the first quarter of last year and 26 percent sequentially.  Revenue from emerging economies represented 14 percent of our total revenue for the first quarter.  Areas that had been our fastest growing regions have become significant decliners.  While recovery time frames may vary by country and region, we remain confident that emerging economies will become key growth areas for Autodesk again, especially in countries like India and China where significant infrastructure development will have to take place in order to support growth and urbanization.

As a reminder, at the beginning of the quarter we made some organizational changes to better align our product offerings with our customers’ needs and accelerate product innovation.  As part of this change there was some product reclassification between business segments.  These reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current presentation.
 

 
Revenue from Platform Solutions decreased 40 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 10 percent sequentially to $156 million, as sales of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT have been impacted the most by the recession.
 
Revenue from our AEC segment decreased 17 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 12 percent sequentially to $128 million.  Revenue from our Revit family of products decreased 20 percent.
 
Revenue from our Manufacturing segment decreased 21 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 18 percent sequentially to $94 million.  Revenue from our Inventor family of products decreased 31 percent.
 
Revenue from our Media and Entertainment segment was $48 million, a decrease of 29 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 9 percent sequentially.

  $ 0.50     $ 0.56     $ 0.56     $ 0.31     $ 1.95     $ 0.18  
 
Gross margins in the first quarter were 88 percent on a GAAP basis and 90 percent non-GAAP.  The sequential decline in gross margin is due to lower revenue and seasonality related to the shipment of our new product releases to our maintenance customers.
 

 
Operating expenses in the first quarter were lower than anticipated as the company made significant progress on the cost containment efforts that were announced in January.
 
Our operating margin in the first quarter was significantly impacted by the drop in revenue.  Our GAAP operating margin was negative 5 percent.  Our non-GAAP operating margin was 13 percent.
 
The effective tax rate for GAAP results was negative 65 percent including the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets and an offsetting tax benefit on goodwill impairment.  The effective tax rate for our non-GAAP results was 25 percent and lower than originally forecast primarily because of a change in the geographic mix of earnings.
 
GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.14 for the first quarter and includes the following pre-tax charges: $0.09 for goodwill impairment, $0.07 for restructuring, $0.10 for stock-based compensation, $0.07 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, $0.09 for the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets. The offsetting tax impact of these items was $0.10.
 
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.18 for the first quarter, which is higher than previously expected, primarily due to better than expected expense control and cost reductions during the quarter.

Total cash and investments at the end of the first quarter were $966 million.
 
Cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter was $27 million.  While significantly lower than the first quarter last year, this is better than expected primarily due to lower than expected operating expenses, strong cash collections, and lower than expected restructuring payments.
 
Shippable backlog at the end of the first quarter increased by $6 million sequentially to $23 million.
 
Deferred revenue decreased 3 percent both year-over-year and sequentially to $534 million.
 
Total backlog at the end of the first quarter, including deferred revenue and shippable backlog orders was $557 million, a decrease of $11 million compared to the first quarter last year.
 
Channel inventory in the end of the first quarter declined sequentially in absolute dollars and was less than four weeks.
 
DSO was 49 days in the first quarter, which is lower both sequentially and year-over-year.
 


Business Outlook
 
Our guidance is based on our current expectations and the information we have available today, including currency exchange rates.
 
2Q FY10 Guidance Metrics
Q2 FY10 (ending July 31)
Revenue ($M)
$395 to $420
EPS - GAAP
($0.09) to ($0.03)
EPS - Non-GAAP

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, 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 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, employee tax reimbursements related to our stock option review, in-process research and development expenses, restructuring charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, asset impairment 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.
