These records connect governance and capital-structure matters to the company's cloud, platform, AI, sales, and marketing priorities.

Autodesk, Inc. announced a global restructuring plan that marks the final phase of its sales and marketing optimization program. The plan will eliminate about 7% of its workforce, or roughly 1,000 employees, with many cuts in customer-facing sales roles, while reallocating resources to strategic priorities.
Autodesk expects total pre-tax restructuring charges of $135 million to $160 million, mainly for employee termination benefits. It plans to record $90 million to $110 million of these charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, with the balance in fiscal 2027, and to complete the plan by the end of its fourth quarter of fiscal 2027.
Alongside the restructuring, Autodesk reported strong performance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and now expects its quarterly and full-year billings, revenue, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP EPS, and free cash flow to all exceed the top end of its prior guidance. The restructuring charges will be excluded from its non-GAAP financial measures.
