Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of July 31, 2024, and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2025, or for any other period. Further, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2024, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of this date. There have been no material changes, other than what is discussed herein, to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, filed on June 10, 2024. Change in presentation During the six months ended July 31, 2024, the Company changed its presentation of the amortization of costs capitalized to obtain a contract with a customer in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Amortization of costs capitalized to obtain a contract with a customer were previously presented in “Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of business combinations” and are now presented in “Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.” Accordingly, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not impact total net cash provided by operating activities. The effect of the change on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 31, 2023 was $63 million.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the six months ended July 31, 2024, that are applicable to the Company. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions and applies to all entities subject to income taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Autodesk is currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures. Accounting Standards Adopted

Revenue Recognition	Jul. 31, 2024
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue Disaggregation Autodesk recognizes revenue from the sale of (1) product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and enterprise business agreements (“EBAs”), (2) renewal fees for existing maintenance plan agreements that were initially purchased with a perpetual software license, and (3) consulting and other products and services. The three categories are presented as line items on Autodesk's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Information regarding the components of Autodesk's net revenue from contracts with customers by product family, geographic location, sales channel, and product type is as follows: Three Months Ended July 31, Six Months Ended July 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net revenue by product family: Architecture, Engineering and Construction $ 713 $ 627 $ 1,387 $ 1,209 AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 389 364 765 713 Manufacturing 296 256 564 502 Media and Entertainment 77 74 148 145 Other 30 24 58 45 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Net revenue by geographic area: Americas U.S. $ 543 $ 485 $ 1,052 $ 941 Other Americas 119 104 229 201 Total Americas 662 589 1,281 1,142 Europe, Middle East and Africa 570 506 1,104 980 Asia Pacific 273 250 537 492 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Net revenue by sales channel: Indirect $ 908 $ 850 $ 1,788 $ 1,670 Direct 597 495 1,134 944 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Net revenue by product type: Design $ 1,257 $ 1,154 $ 2,453 $ 2,240 Make 162 130 307 251 Other 86 61 162 123 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Payments for product subscriptions, cloud subscriptions, and maintenance subscriptions are typically due in annual installments or up front with payment terms of 30 to 45 days. Payments on EBAs are due up front or in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Autodesk does not have any material variable consideration, such as obligations for returns, refunds, warranties, or amounts due to customers for which significant estimation or judgment is required as of the reporting date. Remaining performance obligations consist of tota l short-term, long-term, a nd unbilled deferred revenue. As of July 31, 2024, Autodesk had remaining performance obligations of $5.86 billion, which represents the total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which are generally recognized over the next three years. We expect to recognize $3.90 billion or 66% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months. We expect to recognize the remaining $1.96 billion or 34% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue thereafter. The amount of remaining performance obligations may be impacted by the specific timing, duration, and size of customer subscription and support agreements, the specific timing of customer renewals, and foreign currency fluctuations. Contract Balances We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to performance completed in advance of scheduled billings. Contract assets were not material as of July 31, 2024. Deferred revenue relates to billings in advance of performance under the contract. The primary changes in our contract assets and deferred revenues are due to our performance under the contracts and billings. Revenue recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2024 and 2023, was $1.02 billion and $913 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2024 and 2023, was $2.21 billion and $1.98 billion, respectively. The satisfaction of performance obligations typically lags behind payments received under revenue contracts from customers.

Total unrealized gains for securities with net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were not material for the six months ended July 31, 2024. Autodesk monitors all marketable debt securities for potential credit losses by reviewing indicators such as, but not limited to, current credit rating, change in credit rating, credit outlook, and default risk. There were no allowances for credit losses as of both July 31, 2024, and January 31, 2024. There were no write offs of accrued interest receivables for both the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. There were no material realized gains or losses for the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities during both the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. Realized gains and losses from the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities are recorded in “Interest and other income (expense), net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities were as follows: Three Months Ended July 31, Six Months Ended July 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Marketable debt securities $ 168 $ 176 $ 430 $ 339 Strategic investments in equity securities As of July 31, 2024, and January 31, 2024, Autodesk had $160 million and $162 million, respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies. These strategic investments in equity securities do not have readily determined fair values, and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. These strategic investments in equity securities are generally subject to a security-specific restriction which limits the sale or transfer of the respective equity security during the holding period. Adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investment equity securities with no readily determined fair values measured using the measurement alternative are included in “Interest and other income (expense), net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These adjustments were as follows: Six Months Ended July 31, Cumulative Amount as of 2024 2023 July 31, 2024 Upward adjustments $ — $ — $ 29 Negative adjustments, including impairments (6) (11) (120) Net unrealized adjustments $ (6) $ (11) $ (91) Realized gains for the disposition of strategic investment equity securities for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 were immaterial. Fair Value Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Equity Compensation	Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Units A summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended July 31, 2024, is as follows: Unvested Weighted (in thousands) Unvested restricted stock units at January 31, 2024 5,371 $ 203.87 Granted 2,813 241.37 Vested (2,069) 206.42 Canceled/Forfeited (194) 209.40 Performance Adjustment (1) (33) 193.79 Unvested restricted stock units at July 31, 2024 5,888 $ 221.51 _______________ (1) Based on Autodesk's financial results and relative total stockholder return for the fiscal 2024 performance period. The performance stock units were attained at rates ranging from 75% to 96% of the target award. The fair value of the shares vested during the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, was $514 million and $373 million, respectively. During the six months ended July 31, 2024, Autodesk granted 3 million restricted stock units. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $153 million and $164 million during the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $280 million and $294 million during the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the six months ended July 31, 2024, Autodesk granted 279 thousand performance stock units for which the ultimate number of shares earned is determined based on the achievement of performance criteria at the end of the stated performance and service period. The performance criteria for the majority of the performance stock units are based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee and total stockholder return compared against companies in the S&P North American Technology Software Index with a market capitalization over $2.0 billion (“Relative TSR”). The fair value of the performance stock units is expensed using the accelerated attribution method over the three-year vesting period and the performance stock units have the following vesting schedule: • Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year one, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for fiscal 2025 as well as 1-year Relative TSR (covering year one). • Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year two, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year two as well as 2-year Relative TSR (covering years one and two). • Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year three, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year three as well as 3-year Relative TSR (covering years one, two and three). The performance criteria for the performance stock units vested during the six months ended July 31, 2024, was based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee. Performance stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units of $8 million and $10 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units of $14 million and $21 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Common Stock Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to common stock shares of $3 million and $4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to common stock shares of $4 million and $10 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 1998 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) Under Autodesk’s ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in 1998, eligible employees may purchase shares of Autodesk’s common stock at their discretion using up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations, at 85% of the lower of Autodesk's closing price (fair market value) on the offering date or the exercise date. The offering period for ESPP awards consists of four, six-month exercise periods within a 24-month offering period. A summary of the ESPP activity for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, is as follows: Six Months Ended July 31, 2024 2023 Issued shares (in thousands) 433 434 Average price of issued shares $ 164.81 $ 163.59 Weighted average grant date fair value of shares granted under the ESPP (1) $ 79.14 $ 71.34 _______________ (1) Calculated as of the award grant date using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. Stock-based Compensation Expense The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, as follows: Three Months Ended July 31, Six Months Ended July 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Cost of subscription and maintenance revenue $ 9 $ 10 $ 18 $ 19 Cost of other revenue 3 4 6 7 Marketing and sales 61 74 114 136 Research and development 76 86 142 155 General and administrative 21 23 39 45 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases 170 197 319 362 Tax (benefit) expense (2) 2 (17) 3 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases, net of tax $ 168 $ 199 $ 302 $ 365 Stock-based Compensation Expense Assumptions Autodesk determines the grant date fair value of its share-based payment awards BSM option pricing model or the quoted stock price on the date of grant, unless the awards are subject to market conditions, in which case Autodesk uses the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model uses multiple input variables to estimate the probability that market conditions will be achieved. Autodesk uses the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards: Six Months Ended July 31, 2024 Six Months Ended July 31, 2023 Performance Stock Units ESPP (1) Performance Stock Units (2) ESPP (2) Range of expected volatilities 29.4 - 31.4% 28.7 - 34.5% 40.9 - 42.5% 40.0 - 42.4% Range of expected lives (in years) N/A 0.5 - 2.0 N/A 0.5 - 2.0 Expected dividends —% —% —% —% Range of risk-free interest rates 5.2% 4.6 - 5.4% 4.3 - 4.7% 4.3 - 5.0% (1) There were no ESPP awards granted during the three months ended July 31, 2024. (2) There were no ESPP awards or performance stock units granted during the three months ended July 31, 2023. Autodesk estimates expected volatility for stock-based awards based on the average of the following two measures: (1) a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock, and (2) the implied volatility of traded options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility for performance stock units subject to market conditions includes the expected volatility of companies within the S&P North American Technology Software Index with a market capitalization over $2.0 billion, depending on the award type. The range of expected lives of ESPP awards are based upon the four six-month exercise periods within a 24-month offering period. Autodesk does not currently pay, and does not anticipate paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model. The risk-free interest rate used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model for stock-based awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. Autodesk recognizes expense only for the stock-based awards that ultimately vest. Autodesk accounts for forfeitures of our stock-based awards as those forfeitures occur.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	Income Tax Autodesk had income tax expense of $70 million, relative to pre-tax income of $352 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, and income tax expense of $36 million, relative to pre-tax income of $258 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023. Income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2024, reflects U.S. and foreign tax expense, including withholding tax, reduced by tax-deductible stock-based compensation and the foreign derived intangibles tax benefit in the U.S. The tax expense increased compared to July 31, 2023, mainly due to a nonrecurring tax benefit in the prior year arising from the temporary relief provided by Notice 2023-55 relating to U.S. foreign tax credit regulations. Autodesk had income tax expense of $127 million, relative to pre-tax income of $661 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024, and income tax expense of $96 million, relative to pre-tax income of $479 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. Income tax expense for the six months ended July 31, 2024, reflects U.S. and foreign tax expense, including withholding tax, reduced by tax-deductible stock-based compensation and the foreign derived intangibles tax benefit in the U.S. The tax expense increased compared to July 31, 2023, due to increased profit before tax, offset by an increase in tax-deductible stock-based compensation. The period to July 31, 2023 had a nonrecurring tax benefit arising from the temporary relief provided by Notice 2023-55 relating to U.S. foreign tax credit regulations. Autodesk regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, Autodesk considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company continues to retain a valuation allowance against Australia, Portugal, New Zealand, California, Massachusetts, and Michigan deferred tax assets and deferred tax assets that will convert to a capital loss upon reversal in the U.S., as we do not have sufficient income of the appropriate character to benefit these deferred tax assets. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had $271 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $228 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining $43 million would reduce our valuation allowance, if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits will immaterially decrease in the next twelve months for statute lapses. Signed into law on August 16, 2022 in the U.S., the Inflation Reduction Act contains many revisions to the Internal Revenue Code effective in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, including a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax. Autodesk continues to monitor the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on its consolidated financial statements. Signed into law on December 18, 2023 in Ireland, the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 provides legislation to implement tax principles arising from proposals made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development to establish a global minimum tax rate of 15%. The Company’s assessment of this legislation resulted in additional tax expense having a minimal impact to the consolidated financial statements. Other countries have enacted legislation or are actively considering changes to their tax law. The Company will continue to monitor proposed and enacted legislation for potential future impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions The results of operations for the following acquisitions are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition are not material to Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On February 20, 2024, Autodesk acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Payapps Limited (“Payapps”), a leading cloud-based software platform for managing construction-related payments, for total consideration of $387 million in cash. Of the total consideration transferred, $381 million is considered purchase consideration. The remaining amount of $6 million was recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Autodesk expects to deepen Autodesk Construction Cloud’s footprint and provide a robust payment management offering to serve the needs of general contractors and trade contractors. Through automating the application of the payment process, Payapps’ solution provides greater transparency, reduces risk and helps accelerate time-to-payment. On March 15, 2024, Autodesk acquired 100% of the PIX business of X2X, LLC (“PIX”), a production management solution for secure review and content collaboration in the media and entertainment industry for total consideration of $266 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to foster broader collaboration and communication, as well as help drive greater efficiencies, in the production process. On May 20, 2024, Autodesk acquired 100% of Aether Media, Inc. (“Aether”), a provider of a cloud-based artificial intelligence pipeline for creating computer-generated 3D characters into live-action scenes, for total consideration of $131 million in cash. Of the total consideration transferred, $122 million is considered purchase consideration. The remaining amount of $9 million was primarily recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Autodesk expects to enhance artificial intelligence capabilities for Autodesk’s visual effects (“VFX”) creation tools and democratize high end VFX work on Autodesk’s Flow platform. Purchase Price Allocation The acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations, and Autodesk recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. Autodesk recorded the excess of consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. The goodwill recorded was primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the respective acquisition. Goodwill of $159 million and $188 million is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes for Payapps and PIX, respectively. No goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes for Aether. The transaction costs related to the acquisitions were not material. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class for the significant business combinations that were completed during the six months ended July 31, 2024: Payapps PIX Aether Total Developed technologies $ 53 $ 37 $ 47 $ 137 Customer relationships 34 33 3 70 Trade name 5 — — 5 Goodwill 300 191 81 572 Deferred revenue and long-term deferred revenue (4) (2) — (6) Long-term deferred income taxes liability (12) — — (12) Net tangible assets (liabilities) 5 7 (9) 3 Total $ 381 $ 266 $ 122 $ 769

Cloud Computing Arrangements	Revenue Recognition Revenue Disaggregation Autodesk recognizes revenue from the sale of (1) product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and enterprise business agreements (“EBAs”), (2) renewal fees for existing maintenance plan agreements that were initially purchased with a perpetual software license, and (3) consulting and other products and services. The three categories are presented as line items on Autodesk's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Information regarding the components of Autodesk's net revenue from contracts with customers by product family, geographic location, sales channel, and product type is as follows: Three Months Ended July 31, Six Months Ended July 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net revenue by product family: Architecture, Engineering and Construction $ 713 $ 627 $ 1,387 $ 1,209 AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 389 364 765 713 Manufacturing 296 256 564 502 Media and Entertainment 77 74 148 145 Other 30 24 58 45 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Net revenue by geographic area: Americas U.S. $ 543 $ 485 $ 1,052 $ 941 Other Americas 119 104 229 201 Total Americas 662 589 1,281 1,142 Europe, Middle East and Africa 570 506 1,104 980 Asia Pacific 273 250 537 492 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Net revenue by sales channel: Indirect $ 908 $ 850 $ 1,788 $ 1,670 Direct 597 495 1,134 944 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Net revenue by product type: Design $ 1,257 $ 1,154 $ 2,453 $ 2,240 Make 162 130 307 251 Other 86 61 162 123 Total net revenue $ 1,505 $ 1,345 $ 2,922 $ 2,614 Payments for product subscriptions, cloud subscriptions, and maintenance subscriptions are typically due in annual installments or up front with payment terms of 30 to 45 days. Payments on EBAs are due up front or in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Autodesk does not have any material variable consideration, such as obligations for returns, refunds, warranties, or amounts due to customers for which significant estimation or judgment is required as of the reporting date. Remaining performance obligations consist of tota l short-term, long-term, a nd unbilled deferred revenue. As of July 31, 2024, Autodesk had remaining performance obligations of $5.86 billion, which represents the total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which are generally recognized over the next three years. We expect to recognize $3.90 billion or 66% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months. We expect to recognize the remaining $1.96 billion or 34% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue thereafter. The amount of remaining performance obligations may be impacted by the specific timing, duration, and size of customer subscription and support agreements, the specific timing of customer renewals, and foreign currency fluctuations. Contract Balances We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to performance completed in advance of scheduled billings. Contract assets were not material as of July 31, 2024. Deferred revenue relates to billings in advance of performance under the contract. The primary changes in our contract assets and deferred revenues are due to our performance under the contracts and billings. Revenue recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2024 and 2023, was $1.02 billion and $913 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2024 and 2023, was $2.21 billion and $1.98 billion, respectively. The satisfaction of performance obligations typically lags behind payments received under revenue contracts from customers.

Borrowing Arrangements	Jul. 31, 2024
Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Borrowing Arrangements	Borrowing Arrangements In November 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as administrative agent, which provides for an unsecured revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with an option to be increased up to $2.0 billion. The revolving credit facility is available for working capital or other business needs. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that could, among other things, restrict the imposition of liens on Autodesk’s assets, and restrict Autodesk’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or make dispositions of assets if Autodesk fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of Consolidated Covenant Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) no greater than 3.50:1.00 during the term of the credit facility, subject to adjustment following the consummation of certain acquisitions up to 4.00:1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters. At July 31, 2024, Autodesk was in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants. At July 31, 2024, Autodesk had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of between 0.000% and 0.375%, depending on the Company’s Public Debt Rating (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or (ii) a per annum rate equal to the rate at which dollar deposits are offered in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, plus a margin of between 0.785% and 1.375%, depending on Company’s Public Debt Rating. The interest rates for the revolving credit facility are subject to upward or downward adjustments, on an annual basis, if the Company achieves, or fails to achieve, certain sustainability-linked targets based on two key performance indicator metrics: (i) the amount of scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the global operations of the Company and its subsidiaries during a fiscal year less qualified emissions reduction instruments and (ii) the percentage of employees of the Company and its subsidiaries identifying as female working in technical roles. The maturity date on the Credit Agreement is September 30, 2026. In October 2021, Autodesk issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.4% notes due December 15, 2031 (“2021 Notes”). Net of a discount of $3 million and issuance costs of $9 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $988 million from issuance of the 2021 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes using the effective interest method. The 2021 Notes were designated as sustainability bonds, the net proceeds of which are used to fund environmentally and socially responsible projects in the following areas: eco-efficient products, production technologies, and processes, sustainable water and wastewater management, renewable energy & energy efficiency, green buildings, pollution prevention and control, and socioeconomic advancement and empowerment. In January 2020, Autodesk issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.85% notes due January 15, 2030 (“2020 Notes”). Net of a discount of $1 million and issuance costs of $5 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $494 million from issuance of the 2020 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2020 Notes using the effective interest method. The proceeds of the 2020 Notes were used for the repayment of $450 million of debt due June 15, 2020 , and the remainder is available for general corporate purposes. In June 2017, Autodesk issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.5% notes due June 15, 2027 (the “2017 Notes”). Net of a discount of $3 million and issuance costs of $5 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $492 million from issuance of the 2017 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2017 Notes using the effective interest method. The proceeds of the 2017 Notes have been used for the repayment of $400 million of debt due December 15, 2017, and the remainder is available for general corporate purposes. In June 2015, Autodesk issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% notes due June 15, 2025 (“2015 Notes”). Net of a discount of $1 million, and issuance costs of $3 million, Autodesk received net proceeds of $296 million from issuance of the 2015 Notes. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the 2015 Notes using the effective interest method. The proceeds of the 2015 Notes are available for general corporate purposes. The 2021 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2017 Notes, and the 2015 Notes may all be redeemed at any time, subject to a make whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, Autodesk may be required to repurchase all the aforementioned notes, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. All notes contain restrictive covenants that limit Autodesk's ability to create certain liens, to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and to consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer, or lease all or substantially all of its assets, subject to important qualifications and exceptions. Based on the quoted market prices, the approximate fair value of the notes as of July 31, 2024, were as follows: Aggregate Principal Amount Fair value 2015 Notes $ 300 $ 298 2017 Notes 500 483 2020 Notes 500 456 2021 Notes 1,000 847 The expected future principal payments for all borrowings as of July 31, 2024, were as follows (in millions): Fiscal year ending 2025 (remainder) $ — 2026 300 2027 — 2028 500 2029 — Thereafter 1,500 Total principal outstanding $ 2,300

Leases

Leases	6 Months Ended
Leases	Jul. 31, 2024
Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Autodesk has operating leases for real estate and certain equipment. Leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 66 years, some of which include options to extend the lease with renewal terms from 1 year to 8 years and some of which include options to terminate the leases from less than 1 year to 6 years. Options to extend or terminate the lease are considered in determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed; however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by the Consumer Price Index, payments for common area maintenance that are subject to annual reconciliation, and payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Short-term leases are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees and Indemnifications In the normal course of business, Autodesk provides indemnifications of varying scopes, including limited product warranties and indemnification of customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its products or services. Autodesk accrues for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. In connection with the purchase, sale, or license of assets or businesses with third parties, Autodesk has entered into or assumed customary indemnification agreements related to the assets or businesses purchased, sold, or licensed. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. As permitted under Delaware law, Autodesk has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at Autodesk’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments Autodesk could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, Autodesk has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable Autodesk to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Autodesk believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Legal Proceedings Autodesk is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations, inquiries, and proceedings in the normal course of business including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, commercial, employment, tax, prosecution of unauthorized use, business practices, and other matters. Autodesk routinely reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any matter is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, Autodesk records a liability for the estimated loss. Because of inherent uncertainties related to these legal matters, Autodesk bases its loss accruals on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, Autodesk reassesses its potential liability and may revise its estimates. In the Company's opinion, resolution of pending matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or its financial position. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period, however, based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing and the rules and regulations applicable to the preparation of the Company's financial statements, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated amount of any such potential loss. In early March 2024, the Audit Committee of Autodesk’s Board of Directors commenced an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel and advisors regarding the Company’s free cash flow and non-GAAP operating margin practices (the “Internal Investigation”). On March 8, 2024, the Company voluntarily contacted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to inform it of the Internal Investigation. On April 3, 2024, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California (“USAO”) contacted the Company regarding the Internal Investigation. The Company voluntarily provided the SEC and USAO with certain documents relating to the Internal Investigation and will continue to cooperate with the SEC and USAO. At this stage, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any possible financial loss that could result from this matter.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of July 31, 2024, and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2025, or for any other period. Further, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2024, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of this date. There have been no material changes, other than what is discussed herein, to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, filed on June 10, 2024. Change in presentation During the six months ended July 31, 2024, the Company changed its presentation of the amortization of costs capitalized to obtain a contract with a customer in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Amortization of costs capitalized to obtain a contract with a customer were previously presented in “Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of business combinations” and are now presented in “Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.” Accordingly, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not impact total net cash provided by operating activities. The effect of the change on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 31, 2023 was $63 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the six months ended July 31, 2024, that are applicable to the Company. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions and applies to all entities subject to income taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Autodesk is currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures. Accounting Standards Adopted
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Disaggregation
Concentration of Credit Risk	Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, multiple diversified financial institutions globally with high credit ratings, and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security, and issuer. Autodesk’s primary commercial banking relationship is with Citigroup Inc. and its global affiliates. Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, is one of the lead lenders and an agent in the syndicate of Autodesk’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.
Cloud Computing Arrangements	Autodesk enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. Costs incurred for these arrangements are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities. Autodesk amortizes the capitalized development costs straight-line over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The capitalized costs are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Goodwill	Goodwill consists of the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations.
Segments	Autodesk operates in one operating segment and accordingly, all required financial segment information is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Autodesk reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.
