Autodesk reports results on a fiscal year ending January 31, making the first quarter of fiscal 2027 the period ended April 30, 2026. Investors closely watch these updates because subscription revenue, billings growth, and margin trends signal demand for design and make software across architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing sectors. Strong performance here often influences broader technology spending and sets the tone for the remainder of the fiscal year amid ongoing sales reorganization and artificial intelligence investments.
Autodesk reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $1.934 billion, an 18% increase year over year and 16% on a constant-currency basis. Design revenue rose 18%, Make revenue climbed 25%, and other revenue increased 5%. GAAP operating margin expanded 14 percentage points to 28%, while non-GAAP operating margin improved 2 percentage points to 39%. GAAP diluted EPS reached $2.32, and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.99. Billings totaled $1.688 billion, up 18%. Cash flow from operations surged 58% to $893 million, and free cash flow also rose 58% to $876 million. Remaining performance obligations grew 9% to $7.808 billion.
Results exceeded internal expectations in several areas, prompting the company to raise its full-year fiscal 2027 guidance. The acquisition of MaintainX was announced as a strategic move to strengthen the operations platform, though its financial impact will be reflected after closing.
