Reaffirms Fiscal 2009 Revenue Guidance

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported record revenue of $599 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of 20 percent over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Fourth quarter net income was $96 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $124 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, on a non- GAAP basis. Net income in the fourth quarter of the prior year was $96 million, or $0.40 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $113 million, or $0.46 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.

"Autodesk delivered another quarter of solid revenue results, capping another record year," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "Our results demonstrate the strength and stability our business model provides. Because our geographic balance and customer and industry diversification help insulate Autodesk from changes in any one particular market, we remain optimistic about the coming year."

Operational Highlights

Autodesk's performance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was driven by strong growth in revenue generated in international geographies, revenue from new seats as well as continued customer migration from 2D to 3D design solutions, offset by slower than expected growth in the Americas.

Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, revenue in EMEA increased 38 percent to $262 million. Revenue in Asia Pacific increased 24 percent year-over-year to $131 million. Revenue from the emerging economies in Asia Pacific, EMEA and Latin America increased 52 percent and were 19 percent of total revenue. Strong growth in these international geographies was offset by revenue growth in the Americas of 2 percent over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Combined revenue from the Company's model-based 3D products -- Inventor, Revit, Civil 3D and NavisWorks software -- increased 21 percent over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to $146 million. Autodesk shipped approximately 21,000 commercial seats of Revit and NavisWorks, over 17,000 commercial seats of Inventor and over 7,500 commercial seats of Civil 3D.

Revenue from all new commercial seats increased by 30 percent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Fiscal 2008 Highlights

For fiscal 2008, revenue was a record $2.172 billion, an increase of 18 percent compared to fiscal 2007. Fiscal 2008 net income was $356 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $456 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis. Net income in fiscal 2007 was $290 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $375 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis.

        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  revenues,  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,  litigation  expenses,
        in-process  research  and  development  expenses,  restructuring  expenses,
        amortization  of  purchased  intangibles,  investment  impairment  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.

        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  revenues,  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,  litigation  expenses,  in-process  research  and  development
                expenses,  restructuring  expenses,  amortization  of  purchased
                intangibles,  investment  impairment  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.
