Positive
Strong Q3 Revenue Growth: We finished the third quarter Q3 of the year strongly delivering 12% revenue growth in constant currency and have again raised fully year guidance.
Business Momentum and Strategy Execution: This reflects the sustained momentum of the business and successful execution of our strategy, including a smooth implementation of the new transaction model in Western Europe.
Event Attendance Highlights: Last month at Autodesk University in San Diego, we hosted 12,000 registered attendees and another 30,000 online.
Cloud Data Integration Solutions: We showed how granular data in the cloud, organized the data models and connected to everything through APIs can deliver even more valuable and connected solutions for customers and partners.
Share Repurchase Authorization Increase: We have significantly increased our share repurchase authorization to extend this momentum flexibility over the medium term with the precise trajectory remaining dependent on our debt repayment schedule and the ebb and flow of M&A.
Negative
Deferred Revenue Decline: Total deferred revenue decreased 9% to $3.7 billion, impacted by the transition from upfront to annual billings for multi-year contracts.
RPO Growth Analysis: Current RPO of $4 million grew 17% and 14%, reflecting a tailwind from early renewals and the new transaction model and a headwind from the declining contribution of billed and unbilled deferred revenue from large multi-year and EBA cohorts ahead of renewals in fiscal '26.
Gross Margin Decline: GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins decreased by 2 and 3 percentage points respectively, indicating a decline in profitability.
Revenue Growth Challenges: The absence of enterprise business agreement true-ups from Q3 last year and FX negatively impacted revenue growth, leading to a slower pace of growth compared to previous quarters.
Billing Transition Challenges: The transition to annual billings for multi-year contracts has created noise in the billing and P&L, complicating revenue recognition.
