Borrowing Arrangements
In May 2025, the Company terminated its previous credit agreement and entered into a new Credit Agreement (“2025 Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as administrative agent, which provides for an unsecured revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with an option to increase the principal amount to $2 billion subject to receipt of additional commitments and other customary conditions. The revolving credit facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The 2025 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that could, among other things, restrict the imposition of liens on Autodesk’s assets, and restrict Autodesk’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or make dispositions of assets if Autodesk fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants. The 2025 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of Consolidated Covenant Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the 2025 Credit Agreement) no greater than 3.50:1.00 during the term of the credit facility, subject to adjustment following the consummation of certain acquisitions up to 4.00:1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters. At January 31, 2026, Autodesk was in compliance with the 2025 Credit Agreement covenants. Revolving loans under the 2025 Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate (as defined in the 2025 Credit Agreement) or (ii) a per annum rate equal to the rate at which dollar deposits are offered in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, plus a margin of between 0.575% and 1.000%, depending on the Company’s Public Debt Rating. The Company is also obligated to pay to each lender a facility fee on a
quarterly basis based on amounts committed (whether used or unused) under the revolving facility of between 0.050% and 0.125% per annum, depending on the Company’s Public Debt Rating. The scheduled termination date under the 2025 Credit Agreement is May 8, 2030, which termination date may be extended with respect to some or all of the commitments under the 2025 Credit Agreement subject to certain terms and conditions, including the consent of each lender holding commitments to be extended. As of January 31, 2026, Autodesk had no outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Credit Agreement.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
