Restructuring, other exit costs, and facility reductions

Restructuring, other exit costs, and facility reductions

During the fourth fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026, Autodesk initiated a restructuring plan (“January 2026 Plan”) that represents the culmination of Autodesk’s sales and marketing optimization program. The January 2026 Plan also reallocates resources in certain other functions to accelerate Autodesk’s strategic priorities. The January 2026 Plan includes a reduction in force that will result in the aggregate termination of approximately 7% of the Company’s workforce, or approximately 1,000 employees, and facility reductions. Total pre-tax restructuring charges are estimated to be approximately $135 million to $160 million (inclusive of $100 million accrued as of January 31, 2026). Autodesk expects to complete the January 2026 Plan by the end of its fourth quarter of fiscal 2027 (ending January 31, 2027).

During fiscal 2026, Autodesk initiated a restructuring plan (“2026 Plan”) to support Autodesk's initiatives to optimize its go-to-market organization and, at the same time, to reallocate resources to Autodesk’s strategic priorities of investments in cloud, platform and artificial intelligence. With this restructuring plan, Autodesk is realigning roles to maximize talent investments and to distribute critical expertise globally. The 2026 Plan is substantially complete.

The following table sets forth the restructuring and other exit costs liability as of January 31, 2026:
