[1] | Subsequent to furnishing preliminary financial statements on Form 8-K on February 25, 2016 for the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2016, Autodesk identified a $4.5 million tax adjustment associated with deemed foreign withholding taxes related to non-permanently reinvested earnings in foreign jurisdictions which have not yet repatriated resulting in changes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as reflected in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This non-cash adjustment resulted in an increase to GAAP diluted loss per share from $(0.15) to $(0.17) for the three months ended January 31, 2016.
[2] | Certain second quarter fiscal 2016 balances have been revised to include the correction of an error identified in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, resulting in an additional $33.1 million of income tax expense from the previously reported results, primarily related to the establishment of a valuation allowance. See Note 1, "Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion.
[3] | (1)Unallocated amounts primarily relate to corporate expenses and other costs and expenses that are managed outside the reportable segments, including stock-based compensation expense.
