SAN RAFAEL, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year that ended on January 31, 2014. The company's revenue for the fourth quarter was $587 million. However, due to the ongoing business model transition, the revenue growth was normalized to show approximately 2 percent year-over-year growth. On a GAAP basis, the diluted earnings per share were $0.23, whereas non-GAAP diluted earnings per share stood at $0.40.
It’s important to note that the fourth-quarter results exclude roughly $30 million of license revenue that was deferred as part of the company’s business model shift.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights:
- Revenue from Suites increased by 15 percent, reaching $216 million compared to the same period last year.
- The operating margin was 9 percent on a GAAP basis and 20 percent on a non-GAAP basis. Detailed reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP results can be found in the accompanying tables.
- Deferred revenue increased by 8 percent to $901 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. After normalizing for the business model transition mentioned earlier, deferred revenue would have experienced approximately 4 percent growth year-over-year.
- Cash flow from operating activities increased by 18 percent to $184 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
“We concluded our fiscal year with strong momentum, highlighted by robust growth in suites and increasing demand for our Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) solutions,†said Carl Bass, Autodesk President and CEO. “Demand accelerated for our world-leading portfolio of building information modeling (BIM) solutions. Our cloud-based BIM 360 tools had an excellent quarter as we continue to empower greater mobility and collaboration for our construction customers. Additionally, our cloud-based PLM 360 business also saw continued momentum and achieved its best quarter yet.â€
Fourth Quarter Operational Overview:
The business model transition noted above was primarily related to flexible license arrangements with certain enterprise customers. In the fourth quarter, this transition had a notable impact on license revenue in the Americas and within the AEC business segment.
Revenue in the Americas amounted to $207 million. EMEA revenue was $229 million. Revenue in Asia-Pacific reached $150 million. Revenue from emerging economies was $88 million and accounted for 15 percent of total revenue in the fourth quarter.
Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business (PSEB) segment was $196 million. Revenue from the AEC business segment was also $196 million. Revenue from the Manufacturing business segment totaled $154 million. Revenue from the Media and Entertainment (M&E) business segment was $41 million.
Revenue from Flagship products was $288 million. Revenue from Suites was $216 million. Revenue from New and Adjacent products was $83 million.
“We were pleased with our fourth-quarter performance, which included solid growth in cash flow from operations, strong growth in deferred revenue, and a significant sequential increase in backlog,†said Mark Hawkins, Autodesk Executive Vice President and CFO. “We remain confident in our long-term model, which anticipates a 12 percent billings compounded annual growth rate, 20 percent more annual value from our new and existing subscriptions, and a 50 percent increase in subscriptions by the end of our fiscal 2018. We believe we can achieve this while reaching a 30 percent non-GAAP operating margin by the end of fiscal 2018.â€
“We are at the very beginning of a platform and model transition that will drive Autodesk into the future,†Bass added. “Our focus is on expanding our subscription base, annual subscription value, and billings over the next four years and beyond. As anticipated, our transformation will start gradually and we expect it to gain momentum as we move forward.â€
