Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

“Autodesk continues to generate strong and sustained momentum both in absolute terms and relative to peers. Our success is fueled by our ability to capitalize on the attractive long term-growth trends we’re seeing, including increases in global reconstruction and infrastructure. This is supported by our focused strategy to deliver more valuable and connected solutions for our customers, and by the proven durability of our business,” said Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk president and CEO. “Disciplined execution and capital deployment is driving even greater operational velocity and efficiency within Autodesk and will underpin the mechanical build of revenue and free cash flow over the next few years and GAAP margins among the best in the industry. In combination, we believe these factors will deliver sustainable shareholder value over many years.”
“We generated broad-based growth across products and regions in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) and manufacturing in the second quarter. Overall, macroeconomic, policy, and geopolitical challenges, and the underlying momentum of the business, were consistent with the last few quarters,” said Betsy Rafael, Autodesk interim CFO. “Given our sustained momentum in the second quarter, and smooth launch of the new transaction model in North America, we are raising the mid-points of our billings, revenue, earnings per share, and free cash flow guidance ranges.”

The third quarter and full-year fiscal 2025 outlook assume a projected annual effective tax rate of 20 percent and 19 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively. Shifts in geographic profitability continue to impact the annual effective tax rate due to significant differences in tax rates in various jurisdictions. Therefore, assumptions for the annual effective tax rate are evaluated regularly and may change based on the projected geographic mix of earnings.

Key Performance Metrics
To help better understand our financial performance, we use several key performance metrics including billings, recurring revenue and net revenue retention rate. These metrics are key performance metrics and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue. These metrics are not intended to be combined with those items. We use these metrics to monitor the strength of our recurring business. We believe these metrics are useful to investors because they can help in monitoring the long-term health of our business. Our determination and presentation of these metrics may differ from that of other companies. The presentation of these metrics is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Glossary of Terms
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.
Design Business: Represents the combination of maintenance, product subscriptions, and all EBAs. Main products include, but are not limited to, AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, Industry Collections, Revit, Inventor, Maya and 3ds Max. Certain products, such as our computer aided manufacturing solutions, incorporate both Design and Make functionality and are classified as Design.
Enterprise Business Agreements (EBAs): Represents programs providing enterprise customers with token-based access to a broad pool of Autodesk products over a defined contract term.
Flex: A pay-as-you-go consumption option to pre-purchase tokens to access any product available with Flex for a daily rate.
Free Cash Flow: Cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures.
Industry Collections: Autodesk Industry Collections are a combination of products and services that target a specific user objective and support a set of workflows for that objective. Our Industry Collections consist of: Autodesk Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection, Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection, and Autodesk Media and Entertainment Collection.
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.
Make Business: Represents certain cloud-based product subscriptions. Main products include, but are not limited to, Assemble, Autodesk Build, BIM Collaborate Pro, BuildingConnected, Fusion, and Flow Production Tracking. Certain products, such as Fusion, incorporate both Design and Make functionality and are classified as Make.
Net Revenue Retention Rate (NR3): Measures the year-over-year change in Recurring Revenue for the population of customers that existed one year ago (“base customers”). Net revenue retention rate is calculated by dividing the current quarter Recurring Revenue related to base customers by the total corresponding quarter Recurring Revenue from one year ago. Recurring Revenue 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. Recurring Revenue related to acquired companies, one year after acquisition, has been captured as existing customers until such data conforms to the calculation methodology. This may cause variability in the comparison.
Other Revenue: Consists of revenue from consulting, and other products and services, and is recognized as the products are delivered and services are performed.
Product Subscription: Provides customers a 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 cloud 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, our subscription plan offerings, and certain Other revenue. It excludes subscription revenue related to 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 (RPO): 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.
Solution Provider: Solution Provider is the name of our channel partners who primarily serve our new transaction model customers worldwide. Solution Providers may also be resellers in relation to Autodesk solutions.
Spend: The sum of cost of revenue and operating expenses.
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 our cloud-enabled term-based product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and flexible 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.
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including quotations from management, statements in the paragraphs under “Business Outlook” above statements about our short-term and long-term goals, statements regarding our strategies, market and product positions, performance and results, and all statements that are not historical facts. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made in this press release, including: our strategy to develop and introduce new products and services and to move to platforms and capabilities, exposing us to risks such as limited customer acceptance (both new and existing customers), costs related to product defects, and large expenditures; global economic and political conditions, including changes in monetary and fiscal policy, foreign exchange headwinds, recessionary fears, supply chain disruptions, resulting inflationary pressures and hiring conditions; geopolitical tension and armed conflicts, extreme weather events, and the COVID-19 pandemic; costs and challenges associated with strategic acquisitions and investments; our ability to successfully implement and expand our transaction model; dependency on international revenue and operations, exposing us to significant international regulatory, economic, intellectual property, collections, currency exchange rate, taxation, political, and other risks, including risks related to the war against Ukraine launched by Russia and our exit from Russia and the current conflict between Israel and Hamas; inability to predict subscription renewal rates and their impact on our future revenue and operating results; existing and increased competition and rapidly evolving technological changes; fluctuation of our financial results, key metrics and other operating metrics; our transition from up front to annual billings for multi-year contracts; deriving a substantial portion of our net revenue from a small number of solutions, including our AutoCAD-based software products and collections; any failure to successfully execute and manage initiatives to realign or introduce new business and sales initiatives, including our new transaction model for Flex; net revenue, billings, earnings, cash flow, or new or existing subscriptions shortfalls; social and ethical issues relating to the use of artificial intelligence in our offerings; our ability to maintain security levels and service performance meeting the expectations of our customers, and the resources and costs required to avoid unanticipated downtime and prevent, detect and remediate performance degradation and security breaches; security incidents or other incidents compromising the integrity of our or our customers’ offerings, services, data, or intellectual property; reliance on third parties to provide us with a number of operational and technical services as well as software; our highly complex software, which may contain undetected errors, defects, or vulnerabilities; increasing regulatory focus on privacy issues and expanding laws; governmental export and import controls that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we violate the controls; protection of our intellectual property rights and intellectual property infringement claims from others; the government procurement process; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; our debt service obligations; and our investment portfolio consisting of a variety of investment vehicles that are subject to interest rate trends, market volatility, and other economic factors. Our estimates as to tax rate are based on current tax law, including current interpretations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and could be affected by changing interpretations of that Act, as well as additional legislation and guidance around that Act.
Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of Autodesk are included in Autodesk’s Form 10-K and subsequent Forms 10-Q, which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

____________________
(1) During the quarter ended April 30, 2024, the Company changed its presentation of the amortization of costs capitalized to obtain a contract with a customer in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Amortization of costs capitalized to obtain a contract with a customer were previously presented in “Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of business combinations” and are now presented in “Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.” Accordingly, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not impact total net cash provided by operating activities. The effect of the change on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 31, 2023 was $63 million.
Autodesk, Inc
Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures
(In millions, except per share data)
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we provide investors with certain non-GAAP
measures including non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP diluted net income per share, and free cash flow.
For our internal budgeting and resource allocation process and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, we use non-GAAP measures
to supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures do not include certain
items that may have a material impact upon our future reported financial results. We use non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions
because we believe those measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our earning potential and performance for
management by excluding certain expenses and charges that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. For the reasons set forth
below, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to
key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the
analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. This allows investors and others to better understand and evaluate our
operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management, compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of
peer companies and to better understand the long-term performance of our core business. We also use some of these measures for purposes of
determining company-wide incentive compensation
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP 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. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as
they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate
for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in
our public disclosures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in
isolation from, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our
non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this presentation, and not to rely on any single financial
measure to evaluate our business

Carbide Manufacturing Expert Carl Ciesla Shares How Beginners Can Build Strong Foundations in HelloNation
Published
53 minutes agoon
June 18, 2026By
SANBORN, N.Y., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What does it take to get started in machining with the right foundation? In an article published by HelloNation, Carl Ciesla of Lakeshore Carbide in Sanborn, New York, explains how beginners can prepare for long-term success in the trade. He emphasizes that machining is more than operating equipment; it requires precision, problem-solving, and a solid grasp of both theory and practice.
Ciesla notes that learning to read blueprints and understand tolerances is one of the first steps for new machinists. These skills ensure that each part can be accurately produced and verified. Knowing how exact a measurement must be — and how to consistently meet that requirement — lays the foundation for quality work.
The article explains that hands-on practice with measurement tools is equally important. Micrometers, calipers, and indicators allow machinists to measure down to the thousandth of an inch. Mastering these tools ensures that accuracy begins at the bench, not just at the machine.
Ciesla highlights that tool geometry is another essential area of learning. The shape and angle of cutting flutes directly influence chip evacuation, tool engagement, and part quality. Beginners who understand these details gain an advantage when choosing and using carbide end mills and inserts for different jobs.
He also stresses the value of manual machining experience. By working with lathes and mills, apprentices develop an understanding of speeds, feeds, and tool angles. This manual training provides the background needed to troubleshoot effectively when transitioning to CNC machines.
The article points out that shops look for machinists who combine technical knowledge with practical skills. Those who understand both the “why” and the “how” are better equipped to solve problems and improve efficiency on the shop floor.
Ciesla emphasizes that machining is not a skill learned overnight. It is a lifelong craft shaped by curiosity, precision, and practice. Developing strong habits early on helps new machinists grow into experts who continuously refine their techniques.
The path into machining, according to Ciesla, is about more than learning machines. It is about cultivating craftsmanship, practicing patience, and building the mindset needed to succeed in a career defined by exacting standards and continuous improvement.
The article, Getting Started in Machining, shows how Carl Ciesla of Lakeshore Carbide offers practical guidance for those entering the field. His perspective in HelloNation outlines the key steps and habits that prepare new machinists for long-term success.

Honest Medical CEO Responds to Medline Facility Fire, Confirms Inventory Secured for California Customers

Following the devastating Medline distribution center fire in Tracy, CA, Honest Medical CEO Mike Greenan went on NBC News to confirm that inventory secured at alternative facilities will keep customer orders on track.
OCEANSIDE, Calif., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Honest Medical (HonestMed.com), a fast-growing ecommerce site offering thousands of essential healthcare products, is assuring customers that the recent fire at a primary Medline distribution hub will not significantly impact the availability of critical medical supplies. Honest Medical CEO Mike Greenan addressed the public on NBC News to assure healthcare facilities and other customers that robust contingency plans are actively in place.
Medline, which describes itself as the largest supplier of medical and surgical supplies in the world, manufactures thousands of medical supplies that are essential for both healthcare facilities and in-home caregivers. This fire impacted one of Medline’s largest distribution hubs, leaving many healthcare facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area and other parts of California concerned that critical supplies may be seriously delayed. The California Hospital Association, which represents close to 400 hospitals throughout the state, reported receiving many inquiries as a result of the fire, demonstrating the high level of concern.
Greenan was able to confirm that Honest Medical received firm assurances from Medline that inventory at other facilities – particularly a warehouse in Temecula, Southern California – have the resources to make sure pending orders are filled and that Northern California customers receive the supplies they need. Greenan said, “It’s great to get this commitment from Medline so that our customers in other regions don’t need to worry. There may be a minor logistical adjustment of one or two days, but that is the absolute extent of it.”
While Medline has not yet released an official timeline for rebuilding the damaged distribution hub, local authorities and industry experts emphasize that its strategic location makes a full restoration likely. In the interim, Honest Medical’s secondary supply channels remain fully operational to prevent any disruption to patient care.

Advent Resources Expands Across Texas as Dealers Face Rising Fraud, Compliance Pressures, and Operational Complexity

One connected platform helps Texas dealerships reduce risk, eliminate friction, and move deals faster.
FORT WORTH, Texas, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Advent Resources is expanding its reach across Texas to help dealerships simplify and strengthen the car deal, as fraud, compliance, and disconnected technology continue to create operational challenges for automotive retailers.
For over 30 years, Advent Resources has helped dealers streamline operations by bringing identity verification, deal structuring, lender approvals, contracting, compliance, and funding into a single connected platform.
Today, this goal is more important than ever.
“Dealers are managing more systems, regulations, customer expectations, and risk,” said Ben Gill, CEO of Advent Resources. “The answer isn’t adding more technology. It’s about creating one workflow, one source of truth, and one platform to run their entire sales department.”
Auto fraud continues to grow while dealerships face increasing pressure to maintain compliance, protect customer information, and improve operations.
Auto fraud losses are projected to exceed $9 billion annually.
45% of dealerships report losses between $10,000 – $20,000 from a single fraudulent transaction.
Many dealerships recover less than 50% of fraud-related losses once a deal has been funded.
At the same time, many stores still rely on multiple disconnected systems to complete a single transaction, creating duplicate work, wasted clicks and opportunities for expensive errors.
Advent addresses these challenges by connecting every stage of the deal into one workflow, helping dealerships:
Structure, approve, contract, and fund deals in one system
Reduce hundreds of unnecessary clicks and eliminate duplicate data entry
Verify customer identities and collect required documents in real time
Strengthen compliance through integrated audit trails and automated workflows
Improve profitability by accelerating deals and reducing delays
Maintain one consistent source of truth from lead to funded deal
What’s more, Advent provides advanced AI-powered identity verification to reveal potential fraud risks earlier in the sales process, before issues become costly problems.
“Fraud and compliance issues rarely show up early,” Gill said. “They happen after the fact, when a dealership is trying to unwind a bad deal. The best way to reduce risk is to mitigate it head on at the beginning of the process.”
Advent’s commitment to improving the dealership experience extends beyond the sales department and into the showroom with Advent Connect.
Designed for both customers and staff, Advent Connect guides shoppers through the entire purchase process – from vehicle selection and payment options to financing, protection products, compliance documents, and final delivery. With every step of the transaction in a single customer-facing experience, dealerships eliminate friction, improve transparency, and create a faster, more engaging purchase.
Advent’s workflow helps customers make informed decisions while ensuring every profit opportunity is optimized throughout the transaction. The result is a better experience for customers, greater efficiency for teams, higher profitability for the dealership, and a modern retail process built around collaboration, transparency, and speed.
About Advent Resources
Advent Resources provides software that powers the financial layer of the car deal. For more than 30 years, the company has supported thousands of dealerships across the United States, including many of the industry’s top-performing dealer groups. By bringing identity verification, deal structuring, lender approvals, contracting, compliance and funding into one system, its digital car deal platform, Advent Advantage, helps dealerships complete deals faster while reducing risk and improving operational efficiency.
