SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

Total revenue increased 12 percent to $1.51 billion;GAAP operating margin was 23 percent, up 4 percentage points;Non-GAAP operating margin was 37 percent, up 1 percentage point;GAAP diluted EPS was $1.30; Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.15;Cash flow from operating activities was $212 million; free cash flow was $203 million.

“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.

(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

Monport Mega S Redefines What a Desktop Laser Engraver Can Do for Small Businesses

Published

on

By

The upgraded Monport Mega S desktop laser engraver combines speed, precision, and automation to help businesses scale production, improve output quality, and reduce workflow complexity.

NEW YORK, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As small businesses and independent makers continue to expand into custom products, signage, and light manufacturing, the need for reliable and efficient laser systems has grown significantly. While entry-level machines have made laser engraving more accessible, many operators quickly outgrow basic systems when production demands increase.

The Monport Mega S desktop laser engraver is designed to bridge that gap, offering a more production-ready solution that brings industrial-style capabilities into a compact desktop format. Built for speed, consistency, and usability, the upgraded system reflects how desktop laser technology is evolving beyond hobby use into serious business production tools.

Rather than focusing solely on specifications, the Monport Mega S emphasizes workflow efficiency—helping users move from design to finished product with fewer manual steps and greater consistency.

Desktop Laser Power Designed for Real Business Use

For many growing businesses, the challenge is not learning how to engrave, but scaling production without sacrificing quality. The Monport Mega S desktop laser machine addresses this by combining high-speed performance with automation features that simplify daily operation.

With engraving speeds reaching up to 600 mm/s and precision down to 0.03 mm, the system is designed to handle both detailed engraving and efficient cutting tasks across materials such as wood, acrylic, leather, and coated surfaces. This balance of speed and accuracy allows users to take on both custom one-off orders and higher-volume production runs.

Unlike traditional entry-level systems, the Mega S desktop laser engraver is built with production continuity in mind, giving users the ability to maintain output consistency across larger batches.

Built for Faster Workflow and Reduced Manual Setup

One of the most time-consuming aspects of laser production is setup and preparation. Material alignment, focus adjustments, and repeated calibration can slow down workflow significantly, especially in small workshop environments.

The Monport Mega S desktop CO2 laser engraver reduces these friction points through integrated automation features designed for practical day-to-day use.

Key workflow advantages include:

Built-in autofocus system that adjusts based on material thicknessSmart Batch Fill support for efficient multi-item processingSimplified optical alignment process for quicker setupEnhanced airflow system for improved cutting quality and cleaner edgesEfficient smoke extraction for a safer working environmentSupport for automated feeding workflows for repetitive production tasks

These features allow users to spend less time preparing machines and more time producing finished goods, which is especially important for businesses handling frequent or recurring orders.

Conveyor Belt Integration Expands Production Capability

A key upgrade that sets the Mega S apart from many standard desktop laser systems is its optional conveyor belt system. This feature enables continuous material feeding, allowing businesses to process longer materials or run uninterrupted production workflows.

For businesses producing signage, engraved panels, or repetitive product runs, the conveyor system helps reduce downtime between jobs and supports a more assembly-line style production approach. Instead of manually repositioning materials, users can maintain consistent output across extended production cycles.

This type of capability is typically associated with larger industrial systems, making it a notable advancement in the desktop laser engraver category.

Supporting Both Creative and Commercial Applications

While the Monport Mega S is designed with business scalability in mind, it remains versatile enough to support a wide range of applications. This flexibility is one of the reasons it has become relevant for both new entrepreneurs and expanding production shops.

Common applications include:

Personalized gifts and custom merchandiseAcrylic signage and branding materialsWood engraving and decorative productsLeather accessories and fashion itemsSmall-batch manufacturing and prototyping

The machine’s combination of precision engraving and cutting capability allows users to expand product offerings without needing multiple machines for different tasks.

Improved Safety and Workspace Efficiency

In addition to performance improvements, the Monport Mega S also focuses on creating a more stable and safer working environment. Its Class 1 safety design makes it suitable for both home-based workshops and small business environments where space and safety compliance are important considerations.

The enhanced airflow and smoke extraction system further improves usability by maintaining a cleaner workspace during extended production sessions. This becomes especially valuable for businesses operating daily production schedules or working with materials that generate more residue.

A Step Forward for Desktop Laser Manufacturing

The evolution of desktop laser systems has increasingly blurred the line between entry-level hobby tools and production-ready equipment. The Monport Mega S desktop laser engraver reflects this shift by offering a system that is not only capable of detailed creative work but also structured for repeatable, scalable business output.

Rather than requiring users to upgrade to full industrial machinery, the Mega S provides many of the workflow advantages needed for growth—automation, batch processing, and optional continuous feeding—within a compact desktop format.

For small businesses, makers, and growing production shops, this means fewer operational bottlenecks and more opportunity to focus on output and customer demand.

Monport is currently offering a limited-time promotion for the Mega S Powerful Desktop CO2 Laser Engraver, which includes:

Instant $300 discountFree air assist systemFree 2 black laser marking sprays

The promotion is designed to help new and growing businesses lower initial setup costs while gaining access to upgraded production tools that improve efficiency and output quality.
