NASDAQ: ADSK
SAN RAFAEL, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ending January 31, 2014. The company reported revenue of $587 million. Adjusted for the ongoing business model shift, revenue would have grown approximately 2% year-over-year. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.23, while non-GAAP diluted earnings per share reached $0.40.
The fourth quarter results excluded about $30 million in deferred license revenue due to the company's business model transition.
**Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights:**
- Revenue from Suites increased by 15% to $216 million compared to the same period last year.
- Operating margins stood at 9% on a GAAP basis and 20% on a non-GAAP basis. A detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
- Deferred revenue rose by 8% to $901 million compared to Q4 of fiscal 2013. Adjusted for the business model shift mentioned earlier, deferred revenue would have grown approximately 4% year-over-year.
- Cash flow from operating activities increased by 18% to $184 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
“Closing out our fiscal year with momentum, we saw strong growth in our Suites offerings and robust demand for our Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) solutions,†said Carl Bass, Autodesk President and CEO. “Demand for our world-leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions accelerated, particularly with our cloud-based BIM 360 tools, enabling enhanced mobility and collaboration for construction clients. Our cloud-based PLM 360 business also experienced sustained momentum and delivered its best quarter yet.â€
**Fourth Quarter Operational Overview:**
The business model transition referred to earlier primarily involved flexible licensing arrangements with certain enterprise clients. In Q4, this transition significantly impacted license revenue in the Americas and within the AEC business segment.
Revenue in the Americas totaled $207 million. EMEA generated $229 million, while revenue from Asia Pacific was $150 million. Revenue from emerging economies amounted to $88 million, representing 15% of total revenue for the quarter.
Revenue from the Platform Solutions and Emerging Business (PSEB) segment was $196 million. The AEC business segment contributed another $196 million, while the Manufacturing segment brought in $154 million. The Media and Entertainment (M&E) segment reported $41 million in revenue.
Flagship products accounted for $288 million in revenue, Suites generated $216 million, and New and Adjacent products contributed $83 million.
“We’re pleased with our fourth-quarter performance, which included solid growth in cash flow from operations, healthy growth in deferred revenue, and a significant sequential rise in backlog,†remarked Mark Hawkins, Autodesk Executive Vice President and CFO. “We remain confident in our long-term strategy, which anticipates a 12% billings compound annual growth rate, 20% more annual value from our new and existing subscriptions, and a 50% increase in subscriptions by the end of fiscal 2018. We believe we can achieve this while achieving a 30% non-GAAP operating margin by the end of fiscal 2018.â€
“We’re just beginning a platform and model transition that will drive Autodesk toward the future,†Bass added. “Over the next four years and beyond, we’re focused on growing our subscription base, annual subscription value, and billings. As anticipated, our transformation will start slowly but we expect it to gain momentum as we move forward.â€
