Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of April 30, 2022, and for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2023, or for any other period. Further, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of this date. There have been no material changes, other than what is discussed herein, to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, filed on March 14, 2022. Change in presentation During the quarter ended April 30, 2022, the Company changed its presentation of certain subscription plan offerings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue from subscription plan offerings in which the customer does not utilize the cloud functionality or that do not incorporate substantial cloud functionality, previously recorded in “Subscription” have been reclassified to “Other” and “Maintenance,” as applicable. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, in all material respects. These reclassifications did not impact total net revenue . The effect of the change on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021, was as follows: As Reported Three Months Ended April 30, 2021 Effect of Change in Presentation As Adjusted Three Months Ended April 30, 2021 Net revenue: Subscription $ 948 $ (21) $ 927 Other 22 21 43 Total net revenue 989 — 989 In the current fiscal year, the Company changed its rounding presentation to the nearest whole number in millions of reported amounts, except per share data or as otherwise noted. The current year rounding presentation has been applied to all prior year amounts presented and, in certain circumstances, this change may adjust previously reported balances.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue Disaggregation Autodesk recognizes revenue from the sale of (1) product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and enterprise business agreements (“EBAs”), (2) renewal fees for existing maintenance plan agreements that were initially purchased with a perpetual software license, and (3) consulting, training, and other goods and services. The three categories are presented as line items on Autodesk's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Information regarding the components of Autodesk's net revenue from contracts with customers by product family, geographic location, sales channel, and product type is as follows: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 2021 Net revenue by product family: Architecture, Engineering and Construction $ 518 $ 443 AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 346 285 Manufacturing 225 197 Media and Entertainment 68 55 Other 13 9 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Net revenue by geographic area: Americas U.S. $ 398 $ 324 Other Americas 86 67 Total Americas 484 391 Europe, Middle East and Africa 449 383 Asia Pacific 237 215 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Net revenue by sales channel: Indirect $ 769 $ 661 Direct 401 328 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Net revenue by product type: Design $ 1,004 $ 865 Make 103 81 Other 63 43 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Payments for product subscriptions, industry collections, cloud subscriptions, and maintenance subscriptions are typically due up front with payment terms of 30 to 45 days. Payments on EBAs are typically due in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Autodesk does not have any material variable consideration, such as obligations for returns, refunds, warranties, or amounts due to customers for which significant estimation or judgment is required as of the reporting date. Remaining performance obligations consist of tota l short-term, long-term, a nd unbilled deferred revenue. As of April 30, 2022, Autodesk had remaining performance obligations of $4.68 billion, which represents the total contract price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which are generally recognized over the next three years. We expect to recognize $3.14 billion or 67% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months. We expect to recognize the remaining $1.54 billion or 33% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue thereafter. The amount of remaining performance obligations may be impacted by the specific timing, duration, and size of customer subscription and support agreements, the specific timing of customer renewals, and foreign currency fluctuations. Contract Balances We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to performance completed in advance of scheduled billings. Contract assets were not material as of April 30, 2022. Deferred revenue relates to billings in advance of performance under the contract. The primary changes in our contract assets and deferred revenues are due to our performance under the contracts and billings. Revenue recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2022 and 2021, was $987 million and $838 million, respectively. The satisfaction of performance obligations typically lags behind payments received under revenue contracts from customers.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, multiple diversified financial institutions globally with high credit ratings, and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security, and issuer. Autodesk’s primary commercial banking relationship is with Citigroup Inc. and its global affiliates. Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, is one of the lead lenders and an agent in the syndicate of Autodesk’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. See Note 14, “Borrowing Arrangements,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Total sales to the Company's largest distributor Tech Data Corporation and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”) accounted for 36% of Autodesk’s total net revenue during both the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data is for sales outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 28% and 24% of trade accounts receivable at April 30, 2022, and January 31, 2022, respectively. Ingram Micro Inc. (“Ingram Micro”) accounted for 9% and 10% of Autodesk's total net revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of Autodesk's total net revenue or trade accounts receivable for each of the respective periods.

Total unrealized gains for securities with net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were not material for the three months ended April 30, 2022. Autodesk monitors all marketable debt securities for potential credit losses by reviewing indicators such as, but not limited to, current credit rating, change in credit rating, credit outlook, and default risk. There were no allowances for credit losses as of both April 30, 2022, and January 31, 2022. There were no write offs of accrued interest receivables for both the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. There was no realized gain or loss for the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities during both the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. Realized gains and losses from the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities are recorded in “Interest and other expense, net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities were as follows: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 2021 Marketable debt securities $ 202 $ 4 Strategic investment equity securities As of April 30, 2022, and January 31, 2022, Autodesk had $157 million and $134 million, respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies. These strategic investment equity securities do not have readily determined fair values, and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. Adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investment equity securities with no readily determined fair values measured using the measurement alternative are included in “Interest and other expense, net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These adjustments were as follows: Three Months Ended April 30, Cumulative Amount as of 2022 2021 April 30, 2022 Upward adjustments $ — $ 1 $ 23 Negative adjustments, including impairments (2) (4) (79) Net adjustments $ (2) $ (3) $ (56) During the three months ended April 30, 2022, Autodesk recognized no gains on the disposition of strategic investment equity securities. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, Autodesk recognized gains of $8 million on the disposition of strategic investment equity securities. Fair Value Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Equity Compensation	Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Units A summary of restricted stock activity for the three months ended April 30, 2022, is as follows: Unvested Weighted (in thousands) Unvested restricted stock units at January 31, 2022 4,033 $ 251.17 Granted 2,738 199.16 Vested (1,018) 256.17 Canceled/Forfeited (161) 242.48 Performance Adjustment (1) (2) 299.07 Unvested restricted stock units at April 30, 2022 5,590 $ 225.12 _______________ (1) Based on Autodesk's financial results and relative total stockholder return for the fiscal 2022 performance period. The performance stock units were attained at rates ranging from 87% to 113% of the target award. The fair value of the shares vested during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, was $214 million and $149 million, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, Autodesk granted 2,392 thousand restricted stock units. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $117 million and $90 million during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, Autodesk granted 231 thousand performance stock units for which the ultimate number of shares earned is determined based on the achievement of performance criteria at the end of the stated service and performance period. The performance criteria for the performance stock units are based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee and total stockholder return compared against companies in the S&P North American Technology Software Index with a market capitalization over $2.0 billion (“Relative TSR”). The fair value of the performance stock units is expensed using the accelerated attribution method over the three-year vesting period and have the following vesting schedule: • Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year one, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for fiscal 2023 as well as 1-year Relative TSR (covering year one). • Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year two, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year two as well as 2-year Relative TSR (covering years one and two). • Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year three, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year three as well as 3-year Relative TSR (covering years one, two and three). The performance criteria for the performance stock units vested during the three months ended April 30, 2022, was based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee. Additionally, during the three months ended April 30, 2022, Autodesk granted 115 thousand performance stock units, as part of a program offering certain employees the option to receive equity in lieu of the opportunity to receive an annual cash incentive award. The ultimate number of shares earned is determined based on the achievement of performance criteria at the end of the stated service and performance period. The performance criteria for the performance stock units are based on revenue and Non-GAAP income from operations targets adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee. The fair value of these performance stock units is expensed using the accelerated attribution method over the one-year vesting period. Performance stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units of $15 million and $12 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Common Stock Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $5 million in common stock at a future date to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2021 acquisition. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the closing price of Autodesk’s common stock at the issuance date. During fiscal 2022, Autodesk issued 8,300 shares at an aggregate fair value of $3 million. Remaining shares to be issued are estimated to be 11 thousand based on the closing price of Autodesk’s common stock on April 29, 2022, the last trading day of the fiscal quarter. The awards are accounted for as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Autodesk issued 73,632 shares of restricted common stock to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2021 acquisition. These shares of restricted common stock are subject to forfeiture by the employee if employment terminates prior to the three-year employment period. The fair value of the restricted common stock is recorded as compensation for post-acquisition services and recognized as expense using the straight-line method over the three-year repurchase period. Autodesk issued 9,277 shares of restricted common stock to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2022 acquisition. These shares of restricted common stock were recorded as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to stock-based compensation expense for post-acquisition services using the straight-line method over the two-year vesting period. Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $13 million in shares of common stock to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2022 acquisition. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of Autodesk’s common stock for the ninety consecutive trading day period ending on the release date. Shares to be issued are estimated to be 58 thousand based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock for the ninety consecutive trading day period ending on April 29, 2022, the last trading day of the fiscal quarter. The awards are accrued as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $11 million in common stock at a future date to certain employees in connection with other fiscal 2022 acquisitions. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock at the issuance date. Shares to be issued are estimated to be 48 thousand based on the closing price of Autodesk’s common stock on April 29, 2022, the last trading day of the fiscal quarter. The awards are accounted for as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Additionally, Autodesk issued 12,782 shares of restricted common stock to certain employees in connection with these fiscal 2022 acquisitions. These shares of restricted common stock were recorded as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to stock-based compensation expense for post-acquisition services using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Autodesk issued 40,289 shares of restricted common stock to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2023 acquisition. These shares of restricted common stock were recorded as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to stock-based compensation expense for post-acquisition services using the straight-line method over the two-year vesting period. Additionally, Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $5 million in common stock at a future date to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2023 acquisition. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock at the issuance date. Shares to be issued are estimated to be 22 thousand based on the closing price of Autodesk’s common stock on April 29, 2022, the last trading day of the fiscal quarter. The awards are accounted for as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. See Note 8, “Acquisitions,” for further information. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to common stock shares of $10 million and $3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 1998 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) Under Autodesk’s ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in 1998, eligible employees may purchase shares of Autodesk’s common stock at their discretion using up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations, at 85% of the lower of Autodesk's closing price (fair market value) on the offering date or the exercise date. The offering period for ESPP awards consists of four, six-month exercise periods within a 24-month offering period. A summary of the ESPP activity for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, is as follows: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 2021 Issued shares (in thousands) 377 490 Average price of issued shares $ 173.83 $ 128.02 Weighted average grant date fair value of shares granted under the ESPP (1) $ 69.19 $ 91.17 _______________ (1) Calculated as of the award grant date using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, Autodesk reset the price for certain offering dates in connection with Autodesk’s ESPP as Autodesk’s closing stock price for the respective offering dates was above the closing stock price on March 31, 2022, which triggered a new 24-month offering period through March 31, 2024, resulting in modification expense of approximately $18 million to be recognized over the new offering period. Stock-based Compensation Expense The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as follows: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 2021 Cost of subscription and maintenance revenue $ 8 $ 5 Cost of other revenue 3 2 Marketing and sales 62 48 Research and development 59 47 General and administrative 23 14 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases 155 116 Tax expense (benefit) 6 (16) Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases, net of tax $ 161 $ 100 Stock-based Compensation Expense Assumptions Autodesk determines the grant date fair value of its share-based payment awards using a BSM option pricing model or the quoted stock price on the date of grant, unless the awards are subject to market conditions, in which case Autodesk uses the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model uses multiple input variables to estimate the probability that market conditions will be achieved. Autodesk uses the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 Three Months Ended April 30, 2021 Performance Stock Units ESPP Performance Stock Units ESPP Range of expected volatility 39.4 - 40.7% 38.3 - 42.7% 36.9% 36.5 - 41.8% Range of expected lives (in years) N/A 0.5- 2.0 N/A 0.5 - 2.0 Expected dividends —% —% —% —% Range of risk-free interest rates 1.2 - 1.6% 0.9 - 1.9% 0.1% 0.1 - 0.2% Autodesk estimates expected volatility for stock-based awards based on the average of the following two measures: (1) a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock, and (2) the implied volatility of traded forward call options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility for performance stock units subject to market conditions includes the expected volatility of Autodesk's peer companies within the S&P North American Technology Software Index with a market capitalization over $2.0 billion, depending on the award type. The range of expected lives of ESPP awards are based upon the four six-month exercise periods within a 24-month offering period. Autodesk does not currently pay, and does not anticipate paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model. The risk-free interest rate used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model for stock-based awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. Autodesk recognizes expense only for the stock-based awards that ultimately vest. Autodesk accounts for forfeitures of our stock-based awards as those forfeitures occur.

Income Tax

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	Income Tax Autodesk had income tax expense of $49 million, relative to pre-tax income of $195 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022, and income tax benefit of $25 million, relative to pre-tax income of $131 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021. Income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 2022, reflects an increase in tax expense relating to stock-based compensation and final U.S. foreign tax credit regulations enacted in fiscal 2023, offset by a U.S. foreign derived intangible income benefit driven by the capitalization of research and development expenditures starting in fiscal 2023 as required by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). In addition, fiscal 2022 included a non-recurring discrete tax benefit relating to the Supreme Court decision in India on the taxability of software license payments to nonresidents. Autodesk regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, Autodesk considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have maintained a valuation allowance on our Netherlands, Canada, Australia, California, Michigan, and U.S. capital loss deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had $212 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $34 million would reduce our valuation allowance, if recognized. The remaining $178 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months for an audit settlement of approximately $7 million.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions The results of operations for the following acquisitions are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition are not material to Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, Autodesk completed two business combinations. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $114 million, which consisted of $96 million of cash, 40,289 shares of Autodesk’s restricted common stock at an aggregate fair value of $10 million, and Autodesk will issue a fixed amount of $5 million in common stock at future dates to certain employees. Of the total consideration transferred, $97 million is considered purchase consideration. Of the remaining amount, $10 million was recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to stock-based compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period, $5 million was accounted for as liability-classified awards and will be recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period and $2 million was recorded as stock-based compensation expense during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2022. The 40,289 shares of restricted common stock are subject to forfeiture until the second anniversary of the acquisition closing date. The shares are released on the first and second anniversaries, 40% and 60%, respectively, subject to continued employment. Issuance of the $5 million fixed value in common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment and vests 40% and 60% on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively. The number of shares will be determined based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock for the ninety consecutive trading day period ending on the release date. The number of shares is estimated to be 22,000 based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock for the ninety consecutive trading day period ending April 29, 2022, the last trading day of the fiscal quarter. See also Note 6, “Equity Compensation”. Purchase Price Allocation The acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations, and Autodesk recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of each respective acquisition. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. Autodesk recorded the excess of consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. The goodwill recorded was primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the respective acquisition. Goodwill of $43 million is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The transaction costs related to the acquisitions were not material. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class for the business combinations that were completed during the three months ended April 30, 2022: Aggregated Total Developed technologies $ 8 Customer relationships 4 Goodwill 85 Deferred revenue and long-term deferred revenue (2) Long-term deferred income taxes 1 Net tangible assets 1 Total $ 97

Capitalized Contract Cost [Abstract]
Cloud Computing Arrangements	Revenue Recognition Revenue Disaggregation Autodesk recognizes revenue from the sale of (1) product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and enterprise business agreements (“EBAs”), (2) renewal fees for existing maintenance plan agreements that were initially purchased with a perpetual software license, and (3) consulting, training, and other goods and services. The three categories are presented as line items on Autodesk's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Information regarding the components of Autodesk's net revenue from contracts with customers by product family, geographic location, sales channel, and product type is as follows: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 2021 Net revenue by product family: Architecture, Engineering and Construction $ 518 $ 443 AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 346 285 Manufacturing 225 197 Media and Entertainment 68 55 Other 13 9 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Net revenue by geographic area: Americas U.S. $ 398 $ 324 Other Americas 86 67 Total Americas 484 391 Europe, Middle East and Africa 449 383 Asia Pacific 237 215 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Net revenue by sales channel: Indirect $ 769 $ 661 Direct 401 328 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Net revenue by product type: Design $ 1,004 $ 865 Make 103 81 Other 63 43 Total net revenue $ 1,170 $ 989 Payments for product subscriptions, industry collections, cloud subscriptions, and maintenance subscriptions are typically due up front with payment terms of 30 to 45 days. Payments on EBAs are typically due in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Autodesk does not have any material variable consideration, such as obligations for returns, refunds, warranties, or amounts due to customers for which significant estimation or judgment is required as of the reporting date. Remaining performance obligations consist of tota l short-term, long-term, a nd unbilled deferred revenue. As of April 30, 2022, Autodesk had remaining performance obligations of $4.68 billion, which represents the total contract price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which are generally recognized over the next three years. We expect to recognize $3.14 billion or 67% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months. We expect to recognize the remaining $1.54 billion or 33% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue thereafter. The amount of remaining performance obligations may be impacted by the specific timing, duration, and size of customer subscription and support agreements, the specific timing of customer renewals, and foreign currency fluctuations. Contract Balances We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to performance completed in advance of scheduled billings. Contract assets were not material as of April 30, 2022. Deferred revenue relates to billings in advance of performance under the contract. The primary changes in our contract assets and deferred revenues are due to our performance under the contracts and billings. Revenue recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2022 and 2021, was $987 million and $838 million, respectively. The satisfaction of performance obligations typically lags behind payments received under revenue contracts from customers.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Borrowing Arrangements	Borrowing Arrangements In October 2021, Autodesk issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.4% notes due December 15, 2031 (“2021 Notes”). Net of a discount of $3 million and issuance costs of $9 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $988 million from issuance of the 2021 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes using the effective interest method. The 2021 Notes were designated as sustainability bonds, the net proceeds of which are used to fund environmentally and socially responsible projects in the following areas: eco-efficient products, production technologies, and processes, sustainable water and wastewater management, renewable energy & energy efficiency, green buildings, pollution prevention and control, and socioeconomic advancement and empowerment. In September 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as administrative agent, which provides for an unsecured revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with an option to be increased up to $2.0 billion. The revolving credit facility is available for working capital or other business needs. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that could, among other things, restrict the imposition of liens on Autodesk’s assets, and restrict Autodesk’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or make dispositions of assets if Autodesk fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of Consolidated Covenant Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) no greater than 3.50:1.00 during the term of the credit facility, subject to adjustment following the consummation of certain acquisitions up to 4.00:1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters. At April 30, 2022, Autodesk was in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of between 0.000% and 0.375%, depending on the Company’s Public Debt Rating (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or (ii) a per annum rate equal to the rate at which dollar deposits are offered in the London interbank market, plus a margin of between 0.785% and 1.375%, depending on Company’s Public Debt Rating. The Credit Agreement includes customary provisions to provide for the eventual replacement of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate. The interest rates for the revolving credit facility are subject to upward or downward adjustments, on an annual basis, if the Company achieves, or fails to achieve, certain sustainability-linked targets based on two key performance indicator metrics: (i) the amount of scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the global operations of the Company and its subsidiaries during a fiscal year less qualified emissions reduction instruments and (ii) the percentage of employees of the Company and its subsidiaries identifying as female working in technical roles. The maturity date on the Credit Agreement is September 30, 2026. At April 30, 2022, Autodesk had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. In January 2020, Autodesk issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.85% notes due January 15, 2030 (“2020 Notes”). Net of a discount of $1 million and issuance costs of $5 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $494 million from issuance of the 2020 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2020 Notes using the effective interest method. The proceeds of the 2020 Notes were used for the repayment of $450 million of debt due June 15, 2020 , and the remainder is available for general corporate purposes. In June 2017, Autodesk issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.5% notes due June 15, 2027 (the “2017 Notes”). Net of a discount of $3 million and issuance costs of $5 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $492 million from issuance of the 2017 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2017 Notes using the effective interest method. The proceeds of the 2017 Notes have been used for the repayment of $400 million of debt due December 15, 2017, and the remainder is available for general corporate purposes. In June 2015, Autodesk issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% notes due June 15, 2025 (“2015 Notes”). Net of a discount of $1 million, and issuance costs of $3 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $296 million from issuance of the 2015 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the 2015 Notes using the effective interest method. The proceeds of the 2015 Notes are available for general corporate purposes. In December 2012, Autodesk issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.6% notes due December 15, 2022 (“2012 Notes”). Autodesk received net proceeds of $347 million from issuance of the 2012 Notes, net of aggregate total discount and issuance costs of $3 million. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the 2012 Notes using the effective interest method. The proceeds of the 2012 Notes are available for general corporate purposes. The 2021 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2017 Notes, 2015 Notes and the 2012 Notes may all be redeemed at any time, subject to a make whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, Autodesk may be required to repurchase all the aforementioned notes, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. All notes contain restrictive covenants that limit Autodesk's ability to create certain liens, to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and to consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer, or lease all or substantially all of its assets, subject to important qualifications and exceptions. Based on the quoted market prices, the approximate fair value of the notes as of April 30, 2022, were as follows: Aggregate Principal Amount Fair value 2012 Notes $ 350 $ 350 2015 Notes 300 305 2017 Notes 500 486 2020 Notes 500 443 2021 Notes 1,000 836 The expected future principal payments for all borrowings as of April 30, 2022, were as follows (in millions): Fiscal year ending 2023 (remainder) $ 350 2024 — 2025 — 2026 300 2027 — Thereafter 2,000 Total principal outstanding $ 2,650

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Autodesk has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, and certain equipment. Leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 68 years, some of which include options to extend the lease with renewal terms from 1 year to 10 years and some of which include options to terminate the leases from less than 1 year to 8 years. Options to extend or terminate the lease are considered in determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed; however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by the Consumer Price Index, payments for common area maintenance that are subject to annual reconciliation, and payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Short-term leases are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease expense was not material for the periods presented. Changes in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are presented net in the “accounts payable and other liabilities” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows with the exception of “Lease-related asset impairments” which is presented in “Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities”. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, Autodesk recorded total operating lease right-of-use assets impairment charges of $2 million. Autodesk did not recognize any charges during the three months ended April 30, 2021. Autodesk assessed the asset groupings for disaggregation based on the proposed changes in use of the facilities. For asset groups where impairment was triggered, Autodesk utilized an income approach to value the asset groups by developing discounted cash flow models. The significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models for each of the asset groups included projected sublease income over the remaining lease terms, expected downtime prior to the commencement of future subleases, expected lease incentives offered to future tenants, and discount rates that reflected the level of risk associated with these future cash flows.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees and Indemnifications In the normal course of business, Autodesk provides indemnifications of varying scopes, including limited product warranties and indemnification of customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its products or services. Autodesk accrues for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. In connection with the purchase, sale, or license of assets or businesses with third parties, Autodesk has entered into or assumed customary indemnification agreements related to the assets or businesses purchased, sold, or licensed. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. As permitted under Delaware law, Autodesk has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at Autodesk’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments Autodesk could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, Autodesk has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable Autodesk to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Autodesk believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Legal Proceedings Autodesk is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations, inquiries, and proceedings in the normal course of business including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, commercial, employment, tax, prosecution of unauthorized use, business practices, and other matters. Autodesk routinely reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any matter is considered probable and the amount can be

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share	Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of restricted stock units, performance share awards, and stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted net income per share amounts: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 146 $ 156 Denominator: Denominator for basic net income per share—weighted average shares 217 220 Effect of dilutive securities 2 2 Denominator for dilutive net income per share 219 222 Basic net income per share $ 0.67 $ 0.71 Diluted net income per share $ 0.67 $ 0.70 The computation of diluted net income per share does not include shares that are anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method because their exercise prices are higher than the average market value of Autodesk’s stock during the periods. For the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, there were 531 thousand and 410 thousand potentially anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	Segments Autodesk operates in one operating segment and accordingly, all required financial segment information is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Autodesk reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM allocates resources and assesses the operating performance of the Company as a whole.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of April 30, 2022, and for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2023, or for any other period. Further, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of this date. There have been no material changes, other than what is discussed herein, to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, filed on March 14, 2022.
