  • Revenue was $593 million, an increase of 4 percent, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as reported, and increased 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue contribution from the recent acquisition of Delcam was immaterial to first quarter results.
  • GAAP operating margin was 7 percent, compared to 14 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin was 17 percent, compared with 24 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.12, compared to $0.24 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.32, compared to $0.42 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
  • Deferred revenue increased 13 percent to a record $964 million, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
  • Cash flow from operating activities was $219 million, compared to $224 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

“Our year is off to an encouraging start. We had solid first quarter results and made meaningful progress on our business model transition with the addition of over 89,000 subscriptions,” said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. “Continued strength in our suites and Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) business segment, strong demand in Asia Pacific (APAC), and solid performance in our Manufacturing business drove financial results above our expectations.

“While we experienced strong growth in our cloud and desktop subscriptions (rental),” Bass continued, “strong growth in maintenance subscriptions was the primary driver behind the increase in total subscriptions, as expected. Late in the first quarter we launched AutoCAD LT as a desktop subscription on a global basis and were pleased with the initial response. We look forward to building on these early successes and transitioning Autodesk to an even more profitable and recurring, subscription-based model over the next four years.”

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures
(In millions, except per share data)
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and billings. Excluding billings, these non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, gain and loss on strategic investments, and related income tax expenses. In the case of billings, we reconcile to revenue by adjusting for the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period less any deferred revenue balances acquired from business combination(s) during the period and other discounts. See our reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures herein. We believe these exclusions are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future, as well as to facilitate comparisons with our historical operating results. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Autodesk’s underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. For example, non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside our core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.
The following table shows Autodesk’s non-GAAP results reconciled to GAAP results included in this release.

Restructuring charges % %
Non-GAAP operating margin 14 % 16 %
Reconciliation for Long Term Operating Margins:
Autodesk is not able to provide targets for our long term (ending with fiscal year 2018) GAAP operating margins at this time because of the difficulty of estimating certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP that affect operating margin, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition related intangibles, the effect of which may be significant.
