SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 16 -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today reported record quarterly revenues of $526 million, an increase of 17 percent over the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Second quarter net income was $92 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $108 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis. Net income in the second quarter of the prior year was $87 million, or $0.36 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $96 million, or $0.39 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.
"During the second quarter, we executed extremely well -- driving widespread adoption of our 3D and 2D tools, continuing to increase new seat revenue, and increasing sales and emerging economies," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "We have been able to grow significantly by addressing our customers' competitive challenges. Our numbers demonstrate that we continue to win market share as our revenues have increased significantly faster than our competitors. As a result, we are again raising our guidance for fiscal 2008, to reflect our confidence in our financial performance for the remainder of the fiscal year."
Operational Highlights
Autodesk's performance in the second quarter was driven by strong increases in revenue from model-based 3D and 2D vertical design products, revenue in the emerging economies, and revenue from new seats.
The Company's model-based 3D products and 2D vertical products continue to increase their market penetration. As expected, the changes in dealer incentives implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 are increasing focus on selling model-based 3D and 2D vertical products.
Combined revenues from the Company's model-based 3D products, Inventor, Revit and Civil 3D software, increased 34 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $122 million and comprised 23 percent of total revenues. In total, Autodesk shipped more than 39,000 commercial seats of 3D in the quarter including 21,000 seats of Revit, 11,000 seats of Inventor and 7,200 seats of Civil 3D. Revenues from 2D vertical products increased 22 percent compared to the second 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 37 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $82 million and represented 15 percent of total revenues.
Revenues from new seats increased by 17 percent compared to the second quarter of last year. Revenues from new seats of Revit and AutoCAD Mechanical were particularly strong, increasing 56 percent and 54 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of last year.
Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue from subscriptions combined increased 16 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $178 million. Maintenance revenue from subscriptions increased 27 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $132 million. Deferred maintenance revenue from subscription increased $12 million sequentially and $100 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
