SAN RAFAEL, CA, Nov 16, 2007 - Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK) today reported record revenues of $538 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of 18 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Third quarter net income was $85 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $117 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis. Net income in the third quarter of the prior year was $58 million, or $0.24 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $86 million, or $0.35 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.

"Strong execution delivered yet another quarter of record revenue," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "Our success is ongoing because Autodesk solutions enable our customers to address important secular trends such as globalization, the need for new and improved infrastructure and the emergence of building information modeling as a new paradigm. These trends will continue to drive customers to rapidly adopt our industry leading solutions."

Operational Highlights

Autodesk's performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was driven by strong increases in revenue from its model-based 3D and 2D vertical design products, revenue in the emerging economies, and revenue from new seats.

Design segment revenues increased 20 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $467 million. Combined revenues from the Company's model-based 3D products, Inventor, Revit, Civil 3D and it's newly acquired NavisWorks software increased 32 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $130 million and comprised 24 percent of total revenues. Autodesk shipped over 21,400 commercial seats of Revit, over 13,400 commercial seats of Inventor and nearly 8,200 commercial seats of Civil 3D. In addition, revenues from 2D vertical products increased 22 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Once again, emerging economies contributed robust growth in revenues. Revenues from the emerging economies in Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America increased 31 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $92 million and represented 17 percent of total revenues.

Revenues from new seats increased by 20 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenues from new seats of Revit, AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD Mechanical were particularly strong, increasing 49 percent, 44 percent and 39 percent, respectively, compared to the third quarter of last year.

Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue from subscriptions combined increased 15 percent over the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $186 million. Maintenance revenue from subscriptions increased 29 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $143 million, or 26 percent of revenue. Deferred maintenance revenue from subscriptions increased $10 million sequentially and $101 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Total upgrade revenues decreased 16 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as expected.

  Autodesk, Inc.
  Non-GAAP Results Disclosure
  (In millions)

  To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP
  basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures
  including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP
  cost of license and other revenues, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
  operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP interest and
  other income, net and non-GAAP provision for income taxes.  These non-GAAP
  financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains
  and losses, including stock-based compensation expense, employee tax
  reimbursements related to our stock option review, litigation expenses,
  in-process research and development expenses, restructuring expenses,
  amortization of purchased intangibles, investment impairment and income
  tax expenses.  See our reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-
  GAAP financial measures herein.  We believe these exclusions are
  appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial
  performance and also our prospects for the future, as well as to
  facilitate comparisons with our historical operating results.  These
  adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both
  management and investors a more complete understanding of Autodesk's
  underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance.
  For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline
  performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by
  management to be outside our core operating results.  In addition, these
  non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management
  uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods.  There
  are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP
  financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted
  accounting principles 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.  The presentation of
  this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or
  as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in
  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
  States.  Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP
  financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
  measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.
