Summary

Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK) reported its third-quarter fiscal year 2013 results ending October 31, 2012. Total net revenue remained relatively flat year-over-year for the quarter at $548.0 million, but increased 5% for the nine-month period to $1,705.3 million. While license and other revenue saw a slight decline in the quarter, maintenance revenue showed growth, contributing to a stable overall revenue picture for the period. However, income from operations significantly decreased in the third quarter due to a substantial increase in operating expenses, largely driven by $36.7 million in restructuring charges related to a company-wide plan to shift focus towards cloud and mobile computing. Despite the short-term impact of restructuring and a weaker economic environment, Autodesk continues to invest in its strategic shift towards cloud and mobile services. The company reported a strong balance sheet with $1,737.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at the end of the quarter. Management remains focused on navigating current challenges and executing its long-term strategy, aiming for revenue growth and improved operating margins.
