Autodesk Announces Restructuring Plan to Accelerate Transition to Cloud and Subscription Business
**Public Company Information:**
**NASDAQ:**
**ADSK**
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK) has announced a major restructuring initiative aimed at accelerating its shift to the cloud and transitioning to a subscription-based business model. This move is designed to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and better align the company’s operations with its long-term strategic goals.
“Throughout our transition, we’re continuously evaluating how we can become more effective and efficient,†said Carl Bass, President and CEO of Autodesk. “To deliver maximum value for both customers and shareholders, we are restructuring to focus resources on areas that will drive our cloud and subscription strategy forward.â€
As part of the plan, Autodesk expects to reduce its workforce by approximately 10%, or around 925 positions, in the near term. The company also plans to consolidate some leased facilities. These actions are expected to generate cost savings in fiscal 2017 and beyond, with a portion of the savings being reinvested into critical areas of the business. The company anticipates pre-tax charges of $85 million to $95 million related to the restructuring.
In addition, Autodesk is confident it will meet or exceed its guidance for billings, revenue, non-GAAP EPS, and net subscription additions for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. “The restructuring is not tied to any macroeconomic factors,†Bass added. “We ended fiscal 2016 with strong performance, including robust billings growth and continued demand for our subscriptions. Solid revenues and disciplined cost management led to better-than-expected results during the quarter.â€
More details about the financial performance and the restructuring plan will be shared during Autodesk’s scheduled earnings call on February 25, 2016.
