NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In millions, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of April 30, 2023, and for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, or for any other period. Further, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of this date. There have been no material changes, other than what is discussed herein, to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, filed on March 14, 2023.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the three months ended April 30, 2023, that are applicable to the Company.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”), which applies to all equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for Autodesk's fiscal year beginning February 1, 2024, and interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. Autodesk adopted ASU 2022-03 as of February 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 did not have a material impact on Autodesk’s consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue Recognition
Revenue Disaggregation
Autodesk recognizes revenue from the sale of (1) product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and enterprise business agreements (“EBAs”), (2) renewal fees for existing maintenance plan agreements that were initially purchased with a perpetual software license, and (3) consulting, training, and other products and services. The three categories are presented as line items on Autodesk's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Information regarding the components of Autodesk's net revenue from contracts with customers by product family, geographic location, sales channel, and product type is as follows:

____________________
(1) During fiscal 2023, we corrected an immaterial classification error and reclassified certain revenue amounts between Architecture, Engineering and Construction and AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. The results for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2022, have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not impact total net revenue.
Payments for product subscriptions, industry collections, cloud subscriptions, and maintenance subscriptions are typically due up front with payment terms of 30 to 45 days. Payments on EBAs are typically due in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Effective in fiscal 2024, payments on multi-year subscriptions are typically due in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Autodesk does not have any material variable consideration, such as obligations for returns, refunds, warranties, or amounts due to customers for which significant estimation or judgment is required as of the reporting date.
Remaining performance obligations consist of total short-term, long-term, and unbilled deferred revenue. As of April 30, 2023, Autodesk had remaining performance obligations of $5.39 billion, which represents the total contract price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which are generally recognized over the next three years. We expect to recognize $3.51 billion or 65% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months. We expect to recognize the remaining $1.88 billion or 35% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue thereafter.
The amount of remaining performance obligations may be impacted by the specific timing, duration, and size of customer subscription and support agreements, the specific timing of customer renewals, and foreign currency fluctuations.
Contract Balances
We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to performance completed in advance of scheduled billings. Contract assets were not material as of April 30, 2023. Deferred revenue relates to billings in advance of performance under the contract. The primary changes in our contract assets and deferred revenues are due to our performance under the contracts and billings.
Revenue recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2023 and 2022, was $1.06 billion and $987 million, respectively. The satisfaction of performance obligations typically lags behind payments received under revenue contracts from customers.
4. Concentration of Credit Risk
Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, multiple diversified financial institutions globally with high credit ratings, and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security, and issuer. Autodesk’s primary commercial banking relationship is with Citigroup Inc. and its global affiliates. Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, is one of the lead lenders and an agent in the syndicate of Autodesk’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. See Note 13, “Borrowing Arrangements,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Total sales to the Company's largest distributor Tech Data Corporation and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”) accounted for 40% of Autodesk’s total net revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2023. Total sales to Tech Data accounted for 36% of Autodesk’s total net revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data is for sales outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 25% and 27% of trade accounts receivable at April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, respectively. Ingram Micro Inc. (“Ingram Micro”), our second largest distributor, accounted for 8% and 9% of Autodesk's total net revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of Autodesk's total net revenue or trade accounts receivable for each of the respective periods.

As of both April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, Autodesk had no material unrealized losses, individually and in the aggregate, for marketable debt securities that are in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. Total
unrealized gains for securities with net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were not material for the three months ended April 30, 2023.
Autodesk monitors all marketable debt securities for potential credit losses by reviewing indicators such as, but not limited to, current credit rating, change in credit rating, credit outlook, and default risk. There were no allowances for credit losses as of both April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023. There were no write offs of accrued interest receivables for both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022.
There were no material realized gain or loss for the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities during both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. Realized gains and losses from the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities are recorded in “Interest and other income (expense), net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Strategic investments in equity securities
As of April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, Autodesk had $182 million and $177 million, respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies. These strategic investments in equity securities do not have readily determined fair values, and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. These strategic investments in equity securities are generally subject to a security-specific restriction which limits the sale or transfer of the respective equity security during the holding period.
Adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investment equity securities with no readily determined fair values measured using the measurement alternative are included in “Interest and other income (expense), net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These adjustments were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| 2023 | | 2022 | | April 30, 2023 | | | | |

Autodesk recognized no realized gains for both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 on the disposition of strategic investment equity securities.
Fair Value
Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following tables summarize the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis by significant investment category as of April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The fair value of the shares vested during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was $274 million and $214 million, respectively.
During the three months ended April 30, 2023, Autodesk granted 2,806 thousand restricted stock units. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights.
Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $130 million and $117 million during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the three months ended April 30, 2023, Autodesk settled liability-classified awards in the amount of $1 million. There were no settlement of liability-classified awards during the three months ended April 30, 2022. The ultimate number of shares earned was based on the Autodesk closing stock price on the vesting date. As these awards were settled in a fixed dollar amount of shares, the awards were accounted for as a liability-classified award and were expensed using the straight-line method over the vesting period.
During the three months ended April 30, 2023, Autodesk granted 311 thousand performance stock units for which the ultimate number of shares earned is determined based on the achievement of performance criteria at the end of the stated service and performance period. The performance criteria for the performance stock units are primarily based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee and total stockholder return compared against companies in the S&P North American Technology Software Index with a market capitalization over $2.0 billion (“Relative TSR”). The fair value of the performance stock units is expensed using the accelerated attribution method over the three-year vesting period and have the following vesting schedule:
•Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year one, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for fiscal 2024 as well as 1-year Relative TSR (covering year one).
•Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year two, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year two as well as 2-year Relative TSR (covering years one and two).
•Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year three, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year three as well as 3-year Relative TSR (covering years one, two and three).
The performance criteria for the performance stock units vested during the three months ended April 30, 2023, was based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee.
Performance stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights.
Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units of $11 million and $15 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Common Stock
Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $13 million in shares of common stock to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2022 acquisition. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of Autodesk’s common stock for the ninety consecutive trading day period ending on the release date. As of April 30, 2023, the remaining shares to be issued are estimated to be 39 thousand. The awards are accrued as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.
