KBMAX Combines its Configurator with AutoCAD 2010 - Zibb.com

Citius Corporation (http://www.citiuscorporation.com), the innovative developer of KBMax, today announced their software integrates with Autodesk's AutoCAD 2010 (http://www.autodesk.com/pr-autocad) software. Manufacturers will use AutoCAD 2010 with KBMax to accelerate and improve engineer-to-order design and price quote processes. More efficient engineering and sales will lower costs and boost profits.

AutoCAD is one of the world's leading design and documentation platforms. AutoCAD 2010 includes hundreds of new features, notably improved PDF functionality and parametric constraints. Autodesk developed the 2010 version to provide the ultimate in engineering power and flexibility.

Citius combined Knowledge Based Engineering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge-based_engineering)and Configurator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/configurator) applications to develop KBMax. This hybrid Knowledge Based Configurator (KBC) software automates all phases of the product design quote cycle. Repetitive manual tasks in design, production, and sales are all eliminated. The result lowers operational expenses while adding valuable time for companywide innovation.

Simple inputs into KBMax inputs automatically build product specific drawings and models in AutoCAD 2010. Those same inputs automatically link to the company knowledge base to produce instant bills of materials and price quotes. Engineering and sales departments use a seamless platform to meet customer requirements. Trial users integrating KBMax and AutoCAD 2010 software noticed reductions of 90% in engineer to order design and quote times.

"For 27 years, Autodesk has continued to bring new features and functionality to the AutoCAD platform, and together with partners like Citius, we're helping drive engineering innovation," said Jim Quanci, director, Autodesk Developer Network. "We hope the integration of KBMax with AutoCAD 2010 will help our users spend less time on current product customization and more time on new product development."

"Our KBMax configurator provides tremendous efficiency benefits to the AutoCAD community." said Citius Chief Technical Officer Kevin Bennett. "A few clicks and data inputs into KBMax will design complex 2D models in minutes as opposed to days. Citius also made sure that KBMax enhances the new AutoCAD 2010 features, especially the parametric functionality."

KBMax is a recognized Autodesk Partner Product (http://partnerproducts.autodesk.com/popups/product.asp?rdid=DEVR3976&prodid=P09094&id=22371) and will be exhibiting at the 2009 Autodesk University in Las Vegas. Citius plans to integrate KBMax with Autodesk Inventor by the end of 2009. Please visit www.citiuscorporation.com for more information and a guided demo of KBMax.

Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights: PG&E Corporation, Edison International, Autodesk Inc., Adobe Systems

Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG), Edison International (NYSE: EIX), Autodesk Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), Adobe Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: ADBE) and Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL).

Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:

California May Ban High-Watt TVs

In California, an average residential customer's 10% electrical consumption goes to television sets. However the regulatory apprehension is that with upgrade to larger television sets the consumption pattern for television sets will spike by as much as 8% annually. This is a worrisome trend for the power hungry state which has to import around 15% of its requirements from outside the state to meet its huge requirement.

The regulators are dreading a return to the gory days of the California electricity crisis at the beginning of the century. The crisis was aggravated as the then government kept the price of electricity artificially low, encouraging wastage.

An energy-efficient TV would save a household roughly $30 a year per set in lowered electricity costs. If all 35 million television sets in the state were replaced with more efficient sets, Californians would save $8.1 billion over 10 years, according to the Energy Commission report. The standard also could help California meet the goals of its 2006 global warming law, which calls for the state to cut greenhouse gases 25% by 2020.

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, utilities operating in California are spending big money. California's renewable portfolio standard requires utilities to generate 33% of power from renewable sources by fiscal 2020. PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG) plans to invest around $13 billion in the period 2009 - 2011. Another utility, Edison International's (NYSE: EIX) subsidiary Southern California Edison, is projecting capital expenditures for the period 2009 - 2013 in the range of $16.8 billion - $19.8 billion.

Autodesk Beats, Guidance Mixed

Autodesk Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK) revenues of $416.9 million were down 31.3% year over year, mainly due to a decrease of 43.9% year over year in Licenses revenues and partially due to a 2.8% decrease in Maintenance revenues. However, revenues were flat sequentially.

By geography, revenue from the Americas increased 2% sequentially but decreased 25% from the year-ago period. EMEA revenues declined 3% sequentially and 35% year over year on a constant currency basis. Revenue from the Asia Pacific decreased 7% sequentially and 33% year over year on a constant currency basis. Revenues from emerging economies represented 15% of total revenue and decreased 3% sequentially and 45% year over year on a constant currency basis.

Moreover, revenues from 3D design solutions were down 25% from the year-ago period but were flat sequentially. Revenues from 2D horizontal and vertical products declined 37% year over year and decreased marginally from the last quarter. We are positive on Autodesk's migration from 2D products to 3D products, which have a higher margin.

Combined revenue from AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT declined 39% year over year. Although the company has a strong market position in the "mainstream" CAD market, it faces competition from Dassault Systemes. Moreover, the company competes against Adobe Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: ADBE) and Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL), among others.

Autodesk has a strong balance sheet with cash, investments and securities totaling $1.05 billion at the end of quarter and no long-term debt.

Autodesk Increases Profitability in Third Quarter Fiscal 2010 - Zibb.com

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

-- Revenue was $417 million, flat sequentially, and a decrease of 31 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

-- GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.13, compared to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.05 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and $0.45 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

-- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.27, compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.24 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.56 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.

"Our business appears to be increasingly stable," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "We posted sequential increases in a number of important metrics including revenue from commercial new seat licenses, revenue from our Americas and EMEA geographies, revenue from our 2D horizontal solutions, and revenue from our 3D animation solutions. These results reflect the business environment that began stabilizing in the second quarter of this fiscal year.

"In addition, our efforts to reduce operating expenses resulted in a sequential increase in profitability for the second consecutive quarter," continued Bass. "While there are several data points in our business that are encouraging and represent positive indicators for our business, the health of the global economic environment remains mixed and the continued job losses in our core markets represent ongoing challenges to a swift recovery in our business."

Operational Overview

Revenue in the Americas increased 2 percent sequentially to $164 million and decreased 25 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009. EMEA revenue increased 1 percent sequentially as reported, to $159 million, and declined 3 percent on a constant currency basis. EMEA revenue decreased 38 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as reported, and 35 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $94 million, a decrease of 4 percent sequentially as reported, and 7 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased 29 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as reported, and 33 percent on a constant currency basis.

Revenue from emerging economies was $62 million, a decline of 2 percent sequentially as reported and 3 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies decreased 46 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as reported and 45 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from emerging economies represented 15 percent of total revenue in the quarter.

Combined revenue from Autodesk's model-based 3D design solutions was $122 million, flat sequentially and a decline of 25 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Revenue from 2D horizontal and vertical products was $189 million, a slight decrease sequentially and a decline of 37 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Combined revenue from our AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT products increased 2 percent sequentially and decreased 39 percent compared to the third quarter last year.

"With more than $1 billion in cash and investments, no debt, and positive cash flows, Autodesk remains in solid financial condition," continued Bass. "We are on track to deliver more than $300 million in pre-tax cost savings in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. We will continue to strive to increase our efficiencies and profitability while making essential investments for the future."

During the current quarter, Autodesk determined that the way in which its third-party software application accounted for estimated forfeitures in stock-based compensation calculations was incorrect. As a result, fiscal third quarter 2010 GAAP results include a one-time adjustment to increase stock-based compensation expense by $7.9 million net of tax, or approximately $0.03 per diluted share. This is a cumulative adjustment from prior periods. For the nine month period ended October 31, 2009 the cumulative adjustment from prior periods was $6.8 million net of tax or $0.03 per diluted share.

Business Outlook

The following are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are set forth below.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2010

For the fourth quarter, Autodesk expects revenue to be in the range of $420 million to $440 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.07 and $0.12. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.19 and $0.24, excluding $0.06 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.06 for amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

Full Year Fiscal 2010

Net revenue for fiscal 2010 is expected to be in the range of $1.68 billion and $1.7 billion. GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.11 and $0.16. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.88 and $0.93 and exclude $0.29 related to stock-based compensation expense, $0.18 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, $0.15 for restructuring charges, $0.06 related to goodwill impairment, and $0.09 related to the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

In addition, Autodesk anticipates total GAAP pre-tax spend (operating expenses plus cost of goods sold) for fiscal 2010 to range between $1.65 billion and $1.66 billion, which is lower than fiscal 2009 by between $407 and $417 million. The company anticipates total non-GAAP pre-tax spend (operating expenses plus cost of goods sold) for fiscal 2010 to range between $1.42 billion and $1.43 billion, which is lower than fiscal 2009 by between $300 and $310 million. Total non-GAAP pre-tax spend excludes approximately $95 million of stock-based compensation expense, $60 million of amortization of acquisition related intangibles, $50 million of restructuring charges and $20 million of goodwill impairment charges, which are included in total GAAP pre-tax spend.

First Quarter 2011 and Full Year Fiscal 2011

Autodesk is not providing specific revenue or EPS guidance for fiscal 2011 at this time. However, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, GAAP operating margin is expected to increase year-over-year as the company recorded significant impairment charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 that it does not anticipate recording in fiscal 2011. Non-GAAP operating margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 is anticipated to be flat to slightly down compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010, as a result of normal seasonality and the return of some costs that were suppressed in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

GAAP operating margin for the full year fiscal 2011 is expected to increase as the company recorded significant impairment charges in fiscal 2010 that it does not anticipate recording in fiscal 2011. Autodesk anticipates modest improvement in non-GAAP operating margin for full year fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010.

Non-GAAP operating margin excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, restructuring charges and goodwill impairments.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements in the paragraphs under "Business Outlook" above, statements regarding anticipated market, economic and revenue trends, cost savings, timing of certain charges and other statements regarding our expected strategies, market position, performance and results.

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial
measures
(In millions, except per share data)
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 revenue, 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, amortization of
purchased intangibles, in-process research and development
expenses, restructuring charges, goodwill impairment,
establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax
assets and related 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.
The following table shows Autodesk's non-GAAP results reconciled to
GAAP results included in this release.

*** In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Autodesk changed its
methodology for allocating certain revenue transactions, including
gains and losses from foreign currency. The second quarter of
fiscal 2010 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation. The change of methodology did not have a
material effect on any other period.
(1) 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 revenue, 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, restructuring charges,
amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment,
establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax
assets and related 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
Autodesk's press release.
