Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On November 18, 2010, Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) issued a press release and prepared remarks reporting financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2010.  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 non-GAAP measures that do not include: (a) stock-based compensation expenses, (b) amortization of purchased intangibles and purchases of technology, (c) goodwill impairment, (d) restructuring charges, (e) establishment of a valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets, (f) discrete tax items, and (g) the income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses.  Autodesk’s management uses 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-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.
 
B. Amortization of purchased intangibles and purchases of technology. 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. 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.
 
E. 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 expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.
 
 
 

 
 
F. Discrete tax items. Autodesk excludes its GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from its non-GAAP measure of income, and includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon its projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to the Company’s ongoing operations.
 
G. 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 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 account ing 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.

AUTODESK REPORTS 14 PERCENT YEAR OVER YEAR REVENUE GROWTH
 
Strong Growth in Operating Margin, EPS, and Cash Flow from Operating Activities

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., November 18, 2010-- 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.
 
 
 
3

 

 
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.

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 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 perfor mance 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 ta bles accompanying this press 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, 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 Autodesk's press release.

As we have discussed in recent quarters, we have increased our focus on delivering suites as a means to deliver added value and price performance to our customers.  As such, we are introducing new classifications of our product categories in order to capture the revenue results of our evolving product portfolio.  Beginning this quarter, Autodesk will provide revenue results in the following product type categories – “Flagship” products, “Suites,” and “New and Adjacent” products (see “Autodesk’s New Product Type Classification” later in this document for the makeup of these product classifications).  After the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we will no longer report revenue metrics on model-based design, horizontal products, or vertical products.

Revenue from Flagship products was $285 million and increased 16% compared to the third quarter last year and declined 1 percent sequentially.  Revenue from Suites was $107 million and increased 24% compared to the third quarter last year and 3% sequentially.  Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $85 million and was flat compared to the third quarter last year and increased 4% sequentially.  Historical data on these new categories will be provided next quarter.

GAAP gross margin in the third quarter was 90 percent.  Non-GAAP gross margin in the third quarter was 92 percent.

GAAP operating margin was 15 percent, compared to 6 percent in the third quarter last year.  The improvement was driven primarily by increased revenue, reduced stock-based compensation expenses, and the absence of restructuring charges.  GAAP operating margin decreased 2 percentage points sequentially from 17 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to higher operating expenses.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 21 percent compared to 18 percent in the third quarter last year driven by higher revenue.  Non-GAAP operating margin decreased 4 percentage points on a sequential basis from 25 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 driven primarily by higher spend.

GAAP total spend (GAAP cost of revenue plus GAAP operating expenses) increased 4 percent year-over-year and sequentially.  Non-GAAP total spend (non-GAAP cost of revenue plus non-GAAP operating expenses) increased 11 percent year-over-year and 6 percent sequentially.  The year-over-year increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP total spend is primarily related to performance incentives, such as commissions; commission accelerators; the reinstatement of other employee performance based incentives that had been reduced as part of the cost reduction measures taken last year; the lack of an employee furlough week; and the mix of professional employees.  GAAP total spend was also impacted by lower stock-based compensation expense and the absence of restructuring charges.

The sequential increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP total spend is primarily related to the lack of an employee furlough week in the third quarter, additional headcount, and companywide performance incentives based on higher company performance.  GAAP total spend also benefited from the absence of restructuring charges in the current quarter.

The third quarter effective tax rate was 25 percent for our GAAP results and 27 percent for our non-GAAP results.

Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter were $0.23 GAAP and $0.32 non-GAAP.

A complete reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the tables following these prepared remarks.

Total cash and investments at the end of the third quarter was more than $1.3 billion.

During the third quarter Autodesk used $75 million to repurchase 2.5 million shares of common stock at an average price of $29.93 per share.  Year-to-date, Autodesk has used $204 million to repurchase 7 million shares of common stock at an average repurchase price of $29.14 per share.

Cash flow from operating activities during the third quarter was $114 million, an increase of 143 percent compared to the third quarter last year and 2 percent sequentially.

Shippable backlog at the end of the third quarter was $16 million, an increase of $4 million compared to the third quarter last year and a decrease of $5 million sequentially.

Deferred revenue was $507 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to the third quarter last year and a decrease of 4 percent sequentially.  The year-over-year increase is primarily due to increased maintenance billings.  The sequential decrease is primarily related to seasonally flat subscription billings. 

Total backlog at the end of the third quarter, including deferred revenue and shippable backlog orders was $523 million, an increase of $41 million compared to the third quarter of last year and a decrease of $25 million sequentially.

At the end of the third quarter, channel inventory was below three weeks and well within our normal range.

Days sales outstanding was 46 days, a decrease of 1 day compared to the third quarter last year and an increase of 2 days sequentially.  The sequential increase is primarily a result of a shift in billings linearity within the quarter.

Business Outlook
Our guidance is based on our current expectations and the information we have available today, including currency exchange rates.

Full Year Fiscal 2011
 
FY11 Guidance Metrics
FY11 (ending January 31, 2011)
Revenue (in billions)
$1.924 to $1.944
EPS - GAAP
$0.83 to $0.86
EPS - Non-GAAP
$1.27 to $1.30
 
Net revenue for fiscal 2011 is expected to increase between 12 and 13 percent compared to fiscal 2010.  GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to increase more than 230 percent.  Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to increase between 28 and 31 percent.  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.

For fiscal 2011, non-GAAP operating margin excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and restructuring charges.  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.

Twelve months ago business visibility and the global economic outlook were fairly unclear.  Autodesk’s original assumptions for revenue, billings, EPS, and operating margin growth for fiscal 2011 were well below our current projections.  As a result of our stronger than expected revenue, billings, EPS, and operating margin results for fiscal 2011, performance based compensation expenses including sales commissions, commission accelerators, and employee bonuses for the year will be higher than originally anticipated, particularly in the fourth quarter.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2011
 
4Q FY11 Guidance Metrics
4Q FY11 (ending January 31, 2011)
Revenue (in millions)
$500 to $520
EPS - GAAP
$0.19 to $0.22
EPS - Non-GAAP
$0.30 to $0.33
 
As noted above, fourth quarter operating expenses will include greater than originally expected performance based compensation primarily as a result of the significantly better than projected net revenue, billings, and operating margin projections for the full year fiscal 2011.  Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 exclude $0.06 related to stock-based compensation expense, and $0.05 for amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of tax.

A portion of the projected euro and yen denominated revenue for our fourth quarter fiscal 2011 has been hedged, which should help reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our fourth quarter results.  However, over an extended period of time currency fluctuations will increasingly impact our results.

Fourth quarter outlook assumes an effective tax rate of 25 percent for our GAAP results and an effective tax rate of 27 percent for our non-GAAP results.  The effective tax rates for both GAAP and non-GAAP results exclude any benefit from the federal research and development tax credit that expired at the end of 2009.

Full Year Fiscal 2012
While business visibility is better than it was 12 months ago, projecting five quarters in advance remains difficult.  Autodesk’s fiscal 2012 guidance assumes a continuation of the current economic environment and stable foreign exchange currency rates.

Net revenue for fiscal 2012 is expected to increase by approximately 10 percent compared to fiscal 2011.  GAAP operating margin for the full year fiscal 2012 is expected to increase as the company recorded restructuring charges in fiscal 2011 that it does not anticipate recording in fiscal 2012.  However, 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 stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition related intangibles charges.  Autodesk anticipates non-GAAP operating margin to increase by approximately 200 basis points for the full year fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.  Autodesk is not providing specific EP S guidance for fiscal 2012 at this time.

Autodesk’s Foreign Currency Hedging Program
 
Given the recent foreign exchange volatility, we would like to provide a brief summary of how we handle foreign currency exchange hedging.  A few points to call out include:
 
Autodesk does not conduct foreign currency exchange hedging for speculative purposes.  The purpose of our hedging program is to limit our risk of loss on 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 revenue and certain 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.
 
The major currencies we hedge include the euro, yen, pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc. The euro is the primary exposure for the company.
 
When we report results on a constant currency basis, we attempts to report the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and hedge gains or losses recorded within the current period.

(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 ta bles accompanying Autodesk's press 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, 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 Autodesk's press release.
