SAN RAFAEL, Calif., August 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
All growth rates are compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 unless otherwise noted. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables. For definitions, please refer to the Glossary of Terms later in this document.
- Total ARR increased by 31% to $3.07 billion;
- Total billings increased by 48% to $893 million;
- Total revenue increased by 30% to $797 million; recurring revenue accounts for 96% of total;
- GAAP operating margin was 9%, up 13 percentage points;
- Non-GAAP operating margin was 23%, up 14 percentage points;
- GAAP diluted EPS was $0.18; Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.65;
- Operating cash flow was $219 million; free cash flow was $205 million.
"We ended a solid first half of the year with a very strong second quarter as revenue, billings, earnings, and free cash flow exceeded expectations," said Andrew Anagnost, President and CEO of Autodesk. "ARR grew to a record $3.1 billion, driven by all parts of the business. Construction showed continued strength with wins across the entire portfolio, and Fusion 360 – our design-to-manufacturing platform – kept building momentum. We also made further progress in capturing opportunities within our non-paying user base. In an environment of increasing uncertainty, we believe we are well-positioned to achieve our FY23 goals."
"Our strong performance during the second quarter helped us achieve two milestones," said Scott Herren, Autodesk's CFO. "First, we delivered our largest quarterly non-GAAP net income to date, followed by a record-setting last twelve months free cash flow of $731 million. While we continue to execute well and are not significantly impacted by current trade tensions and macro uncertainty, we are taking a prudent approach to our second half fiscal 2020 outlook. Despite these near-term headwinds, our recurring revenue model is much more resilient than in prior cycles."

**Glossary of Terms**
*Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR):* Represents the annualized value of our average monthly recurring revenue for the preceding three months. "Maintenance plan ARR" captures ARR relating to traditional maintenance attached to perpetual licenses. "Subscription plan ARR" captures ARR relating to subscription offerings. Refer to the definition of recurring revenue below for more details on what is included within ARR. ARR is currently one of our key performance metrics to assess the health and trajectory of our business. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is a performance metric and is not intended to be combined with any of these items.
*Billings:* Total revenue plus the net change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period.
*Cloud Service Offerings:* Represents individual term-based offerings deployed through web browser technologies or in a hybrid software and cloud configuration. Cloud service offerings that are bundled with other product offerings are not captured as a separate cloud service offering.
*Constant Currency (CC) Growth Rates:* We attempt to represent the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as eliminating hedge gains or losses recorded within the current and comparative periods. We calculate constant currency growth rates by (i) applying the applicable prior period exchange rates to current period results and (ii) excluding any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative periods.
*Core Business:* Represents the combination of maintenance, product, and EBA.
*Enterprise Business Agreements (EBAs):* Represents programs providing enterprise customers with token-based access or a fixed maximum number of seats to a broad pool of Autodesk products over a defined contract term.
*Free Cash Flow:* Cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures.
*Maintenance Plan:* Our maintenance plans provide our customers with a cost effective and predictable budgetary option to obtain the productivity benefits of our new releases and enhancements when and if released during the term of their contracts. Under our maintenance plans, customers are eligible to receive unspecified upgrades when and if available, and technical support. We recognize maintenance revenue over the term of the agreements, generally one year.
*Net Revenue Retention Rate (NR3):* Measures the year-over-year change in ARR for the population of customers that existed one year ago ("base customers"). Net revenue retention rate is calculated by dividing the current period ARR related to base customers by the total ARR from one year ago. ARR is based on USD reported revenue, and fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and hedge gains or losses have not been eliminated. ARR related to acquired companies is excluded from the calculation for at least one year from integration.
*Other Revenue:* Consists of revenue from consulting, training and other services, and is recognized over time as the services are performed. Other Revenue also includes software license revenue from the sale of products that do not incorporate substantial cloud services and is recognized upfront.
*Product Subscription:* Provides customers the most flexible, cost-effective way to access and manage 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software tools. Our product subscriptions currently represent a hybrid of desktop and SaaS functionality, which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders.
*Recurring Revenue:* Consists of the revenue for the period from our traditional maintenance plans and revenue from our subscription plan offerings. It excludes subscription revenue related to consumer product offerings, select Creative Finishing product offerings, education offerings, and third party products. Recurring revenue acquired with the acquisition of a business is captured when total subscriptions are captured in our systems and may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.
*Remaining Performance Obligations:* The sum of total short-term, long-term, and unbilled deferred revenue. Current remaining performance obligations is the amount of revenue we expect to recognize in the next twelve months.
*Subscription Plan:* Comprises our term-based product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs. Subscriptions represent a combined hybrid offering of desktop software and cloud functionality which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders. With subscription, customers can use our software anytime, anywhere, and get access to the latest updates to previous versions.
*Subscription Revenue:* Includes subscription fees from product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs.
*Unbilled Deferred Revenue:* Unbilled deferred revenue represents contractually stated or committed orders under early renewal and multi-year billing plans for subscription, services and maintenance for which the associated deferred revenue has not been recognized. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, unbilled deferred revenue is not included as a receivable or deferred revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
