Autodesk Reports Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Strong New Model Subscriptions and ARR Growth; Business Model Transition On Track

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 25, 2016 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016

"We had a terrific fourth quarter and our results demonstrate that our business model transition is working. Broad-based demand also led to better than expected subscription additions in the fourth quarter with new model offerings representing well over half of the subscriptions," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "Strong demand also fueled double-digit growth in ARR, deferred revenue, and billings, and we booked a record number of large transactions. As planned, we ended sales of perpetual licenses of individual products at the end of the quarter. We were particularly encouraged that only a small portion of total unit volume was related to this final opportunity to purchase these perpetual licenses.”

Bass continued, “We’re starting fiscal 2017 from a position of strength. An increasing number of designers and engineers are subscribing to Autodesk’s portfolio and our recent restructuring allows us to accelerate investments in the transition while simultaneously reducing our spend growth. Looking forward, fiscal 2017 will be the most unique in the company’s history as we transition from selling perpetual licenses to subscriptions. The business model transition is broadening our addressable market and advancing our market leadership position. As such, we remain confident in our ability to achieve our long-term targets and ultimately drive long-term value creation for our shareholders with a much more predictable and profitable business.”

Fourth Quarter Operational Overview

Autodesk is undergoing a business model transition in which the company will discontinue selling new perpetual licenses in favor of subscriptions and flexible license arrangements. During the transition, billings, revenue, gross margin, operating margin, EPS, deferred revenue, and cash flow from operations will be impacted as more revenue is recognized ratably rather than up front and as new offerings bring a wider variety of price points.

Total subscriptions were 2.58 million, an increase of approximately 109,000 from the third quarter of fiscal 2016. New model subscriptions (Desktop, enterprise flexible license, and cloud subscription) were 427,000, an increase of 62,000 from the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in new model subscriptions was led by Desktop subscriptions. Maintenance subscriptions were 2.15 million, an increase of 47,000 from the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Total ARR for the fourth quarter increased 10 percent to $1.38 billion compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported, and 12 percent on a constant currency basis. New model ARR was $255 million and increased 68 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported, and 74 percent on a constant currency basis. Maintenance ARR was $1.12 billion and increased 2 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported, and 4 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue in the Americas was $257 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 9 percent on a constant currency basis. EMEA revenue was $238 million, a decrease of 13 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in APAC was $153 million, a decrease of 1 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and an increase of 6 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies was $94 million, a decrease of 12 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year as reported and 11 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies represented 14 percent of total revenue in the fourth quarter.

Revenue from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction business segment was $254 million, an increase of 5 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment was $194 million, an increase of 2 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment was $160 million, a decrease of 15 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment was $40 million, a decrease of 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year.

Revenue from Flagship products was $296 million, a decrease of 1 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from Suites was $232 million, a decrease of 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $120 million, an increase of 3 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year.

_______________

(1) Effective in the fourth quarter of 2016, Autodesk elected to prospectively adopt ASU 2015-17, regarding Topic 740 "Income Taxes".

No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.

(2) Effective in the second quarter of 2016, Autodesk elected to retrospectively adopt ASU 2015-03, regarding Subtopic 835-30 “Interest - Imputation of Interest".

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 gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and billings. Excluding billings, 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, gain and loss on strategic investments, and related income tax expenses. In the case of billings, we reconcile to revenue by adjusting for the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period less any deferred revenue balances acquired from business combination(s) during the period and other discounts. 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, 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 GAAP 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 gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and billings. Excluding net billings, 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, gain and loss on strategic investments, and related income tax expenses. In the case of billings, we reconcile to revenue by adjusting for the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period less any deferred revenue balances acquired from business combination(s) during the period and other discounts. 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, 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 GAAP 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.
