SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 27, 2019 — (PRNewswire) —   Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

All growth rates are compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 unless otherwise noted. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables. For definitions, please view the Glossary of Terms later in this document.

• Total ARR increased 31 percent to $3.07 billion;
• Total billings increased 48 percent to $893 million;
• Total revenue increased 30 percent to $797 million; recurring revenue represents 96 percent of total;
• GAAP operating margin was 9 percent, up 13 percentage points;
• Non-GAAP operating margin was 23 percent, up 14 percentage points;
• GAAP diluted EPS was $0.18; Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.65;
• Cash flow from operating activities was $219 million; free cash flow was $205 million.

"We closed a solid first half of the year with a very strong second quarter as revenue, billings, earnings, and free cash flow came in ahead of expectations," said Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk president and CEO. "ARR grew to a record $3.1 billion, driven by all parts of the business. Construction demonstrated continued strength with wins across all parts of the portfolio, and Fusion 360 - our design-to-manufacturing platform - continued to build momentum. We also made further strides in capturing opportunities within our non-paying user base. In an environment of increasing uncertainty, we believe we are well-positioned to achieve our FY23 goals."

"Our strong performance during the second quarter helped us achieve two milestones," said Scott Herren, Autodesk CFO. "First, we drove our largest quarterly non-GAAP net income to date, followed by a record setting last twelve months free cash flow of $731 million. While we continue to execute well and are not materially impacted by current trade tensions and macro uncertainty, we are taking a prudent stance to our second half fiscal 2020 outlook. Despite these near-term headwinds, our recurring revenue model is much more resilient than in prior cycles."
