AUTODESK REPORTS RECORD REVENUES OF $450 MILLION
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ADSK) today reported record quarterly revenues of $450 million, an
increase of 21% over the second quarter of last year.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- For the second quarter ended July 31, 2006, Autodesk reported quarterly
net revenues of $450 million, a 21 percent increase over $373 million
reported in the second quarter of the prior year.
-- Spending in the quarter was approximately $5 million less than the amount
used in the high end of previously delivered guidance, due to the timing
of spending related to growth investment initiatives. The company now
believes it will make those investments in the third quarter of fiscal
2007.
-- Total product backlog increased by $16 million sequentially to $353
million as of July 31, 2006, including $331 million of deferred revenue.
Deferred subscription revenue increased $12 million sequentially to $264
million. In addition, total product backlog includes $21 million of
unshipped product orders which represents an increase of $12 million
sequentially.
-- Channel inventory was at the low end of the normal range of 3 to 4 weeks.
-- DSO's decreased 6 days sequentially to 52 days.
-- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $82 million
sequentially to $468 million as of July 31, 2006.
-- Capital expenditures were $7 million.
-- The company received $15 million from employee stock plans and spent
$89 million repurchasing 2.5 million shares of stock.
-- As of July 31, 2006, there were 230 million total shares outstanding
and 243 million diluted shares outstanding.
"We are very pleased with the progress we made in the business this
quarter," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "Customer demand was
robust and our operational execution, including expense management, was strong.
Our products provide innovation and productivity that translate into real
competitive advantage which our customers need in every economic environment."
Stock Option Review
During the quarter, the company began a voluntary review of the company's
historical stock option granting practices and the related accounting. This
voluntary review was initiated in light of news about the option practices of
numerous companies across several industries. The Audit Committee of Autodesk's
Board of Directors, comprised of three independent board members, is leading
this effort and has engaged independent outside legal counsel to conduct the
review. Because this review is ongoing, at this time, the company has not yet
determined if it needs to record any non-cash adjustments to compensation
expense related to prior stock option grants. The company is following evolving
best practice in the industry, and will provide only select financial
information while it completes the review.
"The Audit Committee is working to complete this review as quickly and
thoroughly as possible," said Bass. "Early analysis of the review suggests that
we will be reaching conclusions, reporting results, and moving forward. We have
a solid management team committed to Autodesk whose attention remains firmly
rooted on driving execution within the business."
Operational Highlights
Autodesk's performance was driven by strong increases in revenue from new
seats, subscriptions and emerging economies as well as increasing penetration of
its 3D products. In addition, the Media and Entertainment segment showed
substantial improvement compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Revenue from new seats increased by 24 percent compared to the second
quarter of last year. Revenue from new seats of 3D model-based design products
increased 41 percent over last year, on particularly strong sales of the Revit
family of products. Revenue from new seats of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT increased
by 23 percent compared to the second quarter of last year. Revenue from new
seats and emerging businesses continues to represent approximately two-thirds of
total revenues.
Subscription revenue increased 65 percent compared to the second quarter of
last year to $104 million or 23 percent of revenue. Strong subscription attach
rates and renewal rates drove a $12 million sequential increase in deferred
subscription revenue. Upgrade revenues declined as expected. Combined
subscription and upgrade revenues increased 14 percent compared to the second
quarter of last year and continue to represent approximately one- third of total
revenues.
The company's 3D products, Inventor, Revit and Civil 3D continue to increase
their market penetration. Combined revenues from the company's 3D model-based
design products increased approximately 37 percent over the second quarter of
last year to $91 million or 20 percent of total revenue. In total, more than
32,000 commercial seats of 3D were shipped in the quarter. The Revit family of
products led 3D growth again this quarter. Revit revenue increased 96 percent
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Autodesk shipped more than 15,000
commercial seats of Revit in the quarter.
Once again, emerging economies contributed robust revenue growth. Revenue
from the emerging economies in Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America and
the Middle East increased 32 percent over last year and represented 13 percent
of total revenue in the second quarter.
Revenue from the Media and Entertainment segment increased 30 percent over
the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Advanced Systems revenues were approximately
flat over the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and increased by 40 percent
sequentially on strong adoption of the new Linux-based offerings. Animation
revenues increased by nearly 100 percent over the second quarter of last year
and by 12 percent sequentially. As planned, the remaining Alias integration
activities were substantially completed during the quarter, and new versions of
both 3ds Max and Maya were announced during the quarter.
Business Outlook
The following statements are forward-looking statements which are based on
current expectations and which involve risks and uncertainties some of which are
set forth below. As a result of the ongoing review of stock option grant
practices, the company is not providing EPS guidance at this time. The company
did indicate spending levels for the year have not changed. However, the company
believes that spending in the third quarter will increase by approximately $10
million sequentially, in part as a result of the $5 million of spend for growth
initiatives which was planned for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 but did not
occur.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2007
Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 are expected to be between
$450 million and $460 million.
Full Year Fiscal 2007
For fiscal year 2007, net revenues are expected to be between $1.82 billion
and $1.85 billion.
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties, including statements in the paragraphs under "Stock Option
Review" above, statements in the paragraphs under "Business Outlook" above,
statements regarding the timing of spending related to growth investment
initiatives, statements regarding anticipated market trends and other statements
regarding our expected performance. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially include the following: the final conclusions of the Audit
Committee (and the timing of such conclusions) concerning matters relating to
the company's stock option grants, general market and business conditions, the
timing and degree of expected investments in growth opportunities, slowing
momentum in maintenance or subscription revenue, changes in the timing of
product releases and retirements, continued fluctuation in foreign currency
exchange rates, difficulties encountered in integrating the Alias business,
failure to successfully integrate other new or acquired businesses and
technologies, failure to achieve sufficient sell- through in our channels for
new or existing products, failure of key new applications to achieve anticipated
levels of customer acceptance, pricing pressure, failure to achieve continued
cost reductions and productivity increases, failure to achieve continued
migration from 2D products to 3D products, failure to achieve continued success
in technology advancements, the financial and business condition of our reseller
and distribution channels, interruptions or terminations in the business of the
company's consultants or third party developers, failure to grow lifecycle
management or collaboration products, and unanticipated impact of accounting for
technology acquisitions.
In addition, the company's Audit Committee is conducting a voluntary review
of the company's past stock option granting practices and the related accounting
impact. There can be no assurance that the outcome of that review will not
result in a change to or restatement of financial results provided by the
company for this or any historical period. In addition, the review and possible
conclusions may have an impact on the amount and timing of previously awarded
stock-based compensation and other additional expenses to be recorded;
accounting adjustments to our financial statements for the periods in question;
our ability to file required reports with the SEC on a timely basis; our ability
to meet the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market for continued listing of our
shares; potential claims and proceedings relating to such matters, including
shareholder litigation and action by the SEC and/or other governmental agencies;
and negative tax or other implications for the company resulting from any
accounting adjustments or other factors.

results of Autodesk are included in the company's reports on Form 10-K for the
