AUTODESK REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
Company Exceeds Earnings Expectations
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., November 15, 2001-Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), the
world's leading design software and digital content company, today announced
financial results for its third quarter ended October 31, 2001. Autodesk
reported net revenues of $216.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year
2002 compared to $229.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2001.
Third quarter net income was $21.5 million or $0.38 per diluted share. This
compares to net income for the same quarter a year ago of $18.5 million or
$0.32 per diluted share.
"Operational efficiency, focused product strategy, and solid sales execution
anchored our third quarter performance," said Carol Bartz, Autodesk chairman
and chief executive officer. "We're in the middle of a very strong product
cycle. Despite macroeconomic softness affecting our business, our product
and sales teams continue to create opportunity. The milestones we hit in Q3
tell us that our strategies are aligned with customer needs."
* In our manufacturing division, our flagship 3D modeling software
application, Autodesk Inventor, had a record performance for the quarter.
Quarterly revenue increased by more than 64% sequentially, more than double
the revenues of last year. We added more than 5,300 commercial Autodesk
Inventor users during the quarter.
* Across geographies, the company reported strong adoption of the
AutoCAD 2002-based vertical design applications for building design,
manufacturing design, civil engineering, and mapping.
* Strength in the company was enhanced by the acquisitions of Buzzsaw,
an online project collaboration and print management applications company;
the core development team of POINT Gruppen, who we have been working with
the past two years to develop the building systems applications we started
shipping this quarter; and Media 100's streaming and non-linear editing
software business. These three acquisitions enhance our diverse portfolio of
assets and ultimately add to the company's future growth strategy
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements
are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.
* For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, the company expects net
revenue to range between $245 million and $255 million. This brings the
company's net revenue expectations for fiscal year 2002 to a range between
$938 and $948 million.
These revenue expectations could be adversely impacted by a number of
factors, including further slowing in the worldwide economies especially in
the United States and developing countries in Asia Pacific, failure to
achieve customer acceptance of key new design and entertainment
applications, failure to grow new collaborative services, inability of
customers to obtain external financing, failure to achieve anticipated
revenue results from newly acquired businesses, and foreign currency
fluctuations.
Earnings per share outlook
* Earnings per share on a pro forma basis, as defined below, is
expected to range between $0.51 and $0.61 per diluted share for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2002. This brings the company's pro forma earnings
per share expectations for fiscal year 2002 to a range between $1.98 and
$2.08.
Pro forma earnings per diluted share may vary due to our inability to
control and further reduce operating costs, failure to achieve customer
acceptance of key new design and entertainment applications, inability to
successfully integrate new or acquired businesses, and fluctuations in
interest rates and share count.
The statements above contained in the business outlook are forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition to factors
discussed above, other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially include the following: general market and business conditions,
pricing pressure, failure to achieve continued success in technology
advancements and timely release of new products and services, changes in
customer ordering patterns, failure to grow internet-related businesses and
operational results. Further information on potential factors that could
affect the financial results of Autodesk are included in the company's
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2001, and Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended July 31, 2001, which are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
