First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Overview
 
Our first quarter results reflect increased demand for Autodesk solutions around the world as all geographies and business segments posted year-over-year growth.  In addition to 11 percent revenue growth, we experienced solid year-over year growth in several other key areas including revenue from commercial new licenses, operating margin, and deferred revenue.  The combination of solid revenue growth and continued focus on cost controls resulted in a strong improvement in profitability.
 
 
Revenue was $528 million, an increase of 11 percent, compared to the first quarter last year and flat compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
GAAP operating margin was 15 percent, compared to 11 percent in the first quarter last year and 14 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
Non-GAAP operating margin was 23 percent, compared to 20 percent in the first quarter last year and 20 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.29, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.16 in the first quarter last year and diluted earnings per share of $0.26 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.40, compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.29 in the first quarter last year and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.35 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
Cash flow from operating activities was $128 million, compared to $139 million in the first quarter last year, and $176 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

Maintenance revenue
  $ 195     $ 192     $ 195     $ 198     $ 205  
 
Total net revenue for the first quarter was $528 million as reported, an increase of 11 percent compared to $475 million in the first quarter last year.  Revenue in the first quarter last year included a one-time benefit of approximately $15 million related to a promotion.  

Total net revenue for the first quarter was flat sequentially.  On a constant currency basis, revenue for the first quarter increased 11 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and was flat sequentially.

License and other revenue was $323 million, an increase of 15 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and a decrease of 2 percent sequentially.

Revenue from commercial new licenses increased 23 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and 6 percent sequentially.

Maintenance revenue was a record high $205 million, an increase of 5 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and 4 percent sequentially.
 
Maintenance billings increased 7 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 8 percent sequentially.  Maintenance billings in the first quarter last year benefited from the one-time promotion noted above.  The sequential decrease is primarily due to typical seasonality.

As noted last quarter, we are introducing new classifications of our product categories in order to better capture the revenue results of our evolving product portfolio.  Autodesk will provide revenue results in the following product type categories – “Flagship,” “Suites,” and “New and Adjacent” products (see “Autodesk’s New Product Type Classification” later in this document for the makeup of these product classifications).

Revenue from Flagship products was $325 million, or 61 percent of total revenue, and increased 10 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and 5 percent sequentially.

Revenue from Suites was $124 million, or 23 percent of total revenue, and increased 17 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 4 percent sequentially.  Autodesk’s new family of design and creation suites was launched very late in the first quarter.  As such, Suites revenue and growth rate are comprised primarily of revenue from our pre-existing suite families, such as Inventor and Revit suites.  We anticipate introducing additional suites in the future which, when introduced, will be included in this “Suites” revenue metric.

Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $79 million, or 15 percent of total revenue, and increased 9 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and decreased 11 percent sequentially.

Revenue from our Platform Solutions and Emerging Business (PSEB) segment was $211 million, an increase of 15 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 16 percent sequentially.  Growth was primarily driven by revenue from AutoCAD LT.  Revenue from PSEB suites grew 35 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 27 percent sequentially.  PSEB suites include educational suites and the newly launched Autodesk Design Suites.  Combined revenue from AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT was $193 million and grew 14 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and 18 percent sequentially.

Revenue from our Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) business segment was $141 million, an increase of 3 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and a decline of 13 percent sequentially.  We experienced softness in our infrastructure business in the first quarter but we are looking forward to the introduction of our new Infrastructure Design Suites, which will launch in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  Revenue from our AEC suites increased 25 percent compared to the first quarter last year and decreased 8 percent sequentially.  AEC suites include the Revit family products, as well as the Building Design Suites and Plant Design Suites, both of which launched in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Revenue from our Manufacturing business segment was $123 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and a decline of 7 percent sequentially.  Revenue from our Manufacturing suites increased 10 percent compared to the first quarter last year and decreased 5 percent sequentially. Manufacturing suites include the Inventor family of products, as well as the Product Design Suites and Factory Design Suites, both of which launched in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  As expected, revenue from newly acquired Blue Ridge Numerics did not contribute meaningfully to the results.

Revenue from our Media and Entertainment business segment was $53 million, an increase of 15 percent compared to the first quarter last year, and 3 percent sequentially.  Revenue from our animation products including Maya, 3dsMax, and our Entertainment Creation Suites increased 19 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 9 percent sequentially.  Revenue from Creative Finishing increased 8 percent compared to the first quarter last year and declined 10 percent sequentially.  As expected, revenue from newly acquired Scaleform did not contribute meaningfully to the results.

Diluted Net Income Per Share - Non-GAAP
  $ 0.29     $ 0.36     $ 0.32     $ 0.35     $ 0.40  
 
GAAP gross margin in the first quarter was 90 percent.  Non-GAAP gross margin in the first quarter was 91 percent.  The sequential decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins is primarily related to typical seasonality associated with fulfillment of subscription product.

GAAP operating margin was 15 percent, compared to 11 percent in the first quarter last year.  GAAP operating margin increased 1 percentage point sequentially.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 23 percent, a 3 percentage point increase compared to the first quarter last year, primarily benefiting from increased revenue.  Non-GAAP operating margin increased 3 percentage points sequentially driven primarily by seasonally lower operating expenses.

GAAP operating expenses increased 6 percent year-over-year and decreased 3 percent sequentially.  Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 8 percent year-over-year and decreased 5 percent sequentially.  The year-over-year increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses is primarily related to higher employee related costs and professional fees.  The sequential decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses is primarily related to typical seasonality.    

The first quarter effective tax rate was 18 percent for our GAAP results and 25 percent for our non-GAAP results.

Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter were $0.29 GAAP and $0.40 non-GAAP.

The share count used to compute basic net income per share was 228.2 million.  The share count used to compute diluted net income per share was 237.1 million.

Foreign currency impact includes the change in foreign currency rates on our financials.  The foreign currency impact to revenue also includes the impact from our hedging program.

Compared to the first quarter of last year, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates including the impact of our hedging program in the first quarter was $2 million favorable on revenue and $10 million unfavorable on cost of revenue and operating expenses.
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and hedging was $3 million favorable on revenue and $5 million unfavorable on expenses.

During the first quarter, Autodesk used $69 million to repurchase 1.7 million shares of common stock at an average price of $40.17 per share.

Cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter was $128 million, a decrease of 8 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 27 percent sequentially.  Cash flow from operations was lower on a year-over-year and sequential basis primarily related to the increased payment of variable compensation associated with the over performance in fiscal 2011.

Shippable backlog at the end of the first quarter was $25 million, an increase of $3 million compared to the first quarter last year and a decrease of $3 million sequentially.

Deferred revenue was a quarter-end record $622 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to the first quarter last year and 6 percent sequentially.  The year-over-year and sequential increase is primarily due to strong maintenance billings.

Total backlog at the end of the first quarter, including deferred revenue and shippable backlog orders was a quarter-end record $647 million, an increase of $82 million compared to the first quarter of last year and $32 million sequentially.

At the end of the first quarter, channel inventory was below two weeks.

Days sales outstanding was 47 days, an increase of 5 days compared to the first quarter last year and a decrease of 8 days sequentially.

Business Outlook
 
Our guidance is based on our current expectations and the information we have available today, including currency exchange rates.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2012
 
1Q FY12 Guidance Metrics
2Q FY12 (ending July 31, 2011)
Revenue (in millions)
$530 to $545
EPS - GAAP
$0.25 to $0.29
EPS - Non-GAAP
$0.37 to $0.41
 
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 exclude $0.08 related to stock-based compensation expense, and $0.04 for amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of tax.

A portion of the projected euro and yen denominated net revenue for our second quarter fiscal 2012 has been hedged, which should help reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our second quarter results.  However, over an extended period of time currency fluctuations will increasingly impact our results.

Full Year Fiscal 2012
Net revenue for fiscal 2012 is expected to increase by approximately 12 percent compared to fiscal 2011.  Autodesk anticipates fiscal 2012 GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins to increase by at least 200 basis points compared to fiscal 2011.  Non-GAAP operating margin excludes 60 basis points of restructuring charges, 20 basis points of amortization of acquisition related intangibles, and negative 50 basis points of stock-based compensation expense.

Outlook assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 23 percent for GAAP results and approximately 25 percent for non-GAAP results.

Autodesk’s Foreign Currency Hedging Program
 
Given the recent foreign exchange volatility, we would like to continue to provide a brief summary of how we handle foreign currency exchange hedging.  A few points to call out include:
 
 
Autodesk does not conduct foreign currency exchange hedging for speculative purposes.  The purpose of our hedging program is to reduce risk from foreign denominated cash flows and to partially reduce variability that would otherwise impact our financial results from currency fluctuations.
 
 
9

 
 
 
We utilize cash flow hedges on revenue and certain operating expenses in major currencies.  We hedge our net exposures using a four quarter rolling layered hedge.  The closer to the current time period, the more we are hedged.
 
The major currencies we hedge include the euro, yen, pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc. The euro is the primary exposure for the company.
 
When we report results on a constant currency basis, we attempt to report the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and hedge gains or losses recorded within the current period.
