"Strong demand on a global basis and expanding adoption of our suites solutions drove strong billings and record revenue results," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "We also made meaningful progress in the transition to a more recurring, subscription-based business, adding approximately 74,000 maintenance, desktop (rental), and cloud subscriptions. As a result, we significantly increased deferred revenue, which is rapidly approaching $1 billion. Our strong results and positive view of the macroeconomic environment led us to raise our outlook for billings, revenue, and subscription additions for fiscal 2015."
