Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events On November 22, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to support the Company's strategic priorities of completing the subscription transition, digitizing the Company, and re-imagining manufacturing, construction, and production. Through the restructuring, Autodesk seeks to reduce its investments in areas not aligned with its strategic priorities, including in areas related to research and development and go-to-market activities. At the same time, Autodesk plans to further invest in strategic priority areas related to digital infrastructure, customer success, and construction. By re-balancing resources to better align with the Company’s strategic priorities, Autodesk is positioning itself to meet its long-term goals. This world-wide restructuring plan includes a reduction in force that will result in the termination of approximately 13% of the Company’s workforce, or approximately 1,150 employees, and the consolidation of certain leased facilities. The Company expects to substantially complete the reduction in force and the facilities consolidation by the end of its fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 (which fiscal quarter ends January 31, 2019). The Company anticipates incurring pre-tax restructuring charges of $135 million to $149 million, substantially all of which would result in cash expenditures, $124 million to $137 million of which would be for one-time employee termination benefits, and $11 million to $12 million of which would be for facilities-related and other costs. The Company expects to expense these pre-tax charges in the following periods:
Fiscal Quarter | Approximate pre-tax restructuring charge (in millions)
Q4 FY18 (ending January 31, 2018) | $91 - $100
Q1 FY19 (ending April 30, 2018) | $21 - $24
Q2 FY19 (ending July 31, 2018) | $14 - $15
Q3 FY19 (ending October 31, 2018) | $8 - $9
Q4 FY19 (ending January 31, 2019) | $1
