Andrew Anagnost
Chief Executive Officer

Building on our strong performance in Q2, we delivered another quarter of solid execution and results, with revenue, billings, ARR, earnings, and free cash flow coming in ahead of expectations. For the first time, we delivered over $1 billion in quarterly billings outside of a fourth quarter, and our last 12 months' free cash flow came in at nearly $1 billion, breaking yet another company record. Broad-based strength across our entire product portfolio and all geographic regions drove these results. We have strong momentum in construction, are gaining share in manufacturing, and we continue to make strides in converting the non-paying user base. Before we dig into details from the quarter, I want to recognize the hard work put in by the entire Autodesk team. especially our colleagues in the Bay Area, who ensured that our business did not experience any disruptions despite our San Rafael office and many employees' homes being without power due to wildfires in the final days of the quarter. Our business continuity planning was flawless, and the entire team went the extra mile to ensure that we did not miss a beat under very difficult circumstances. Now let me turn it over to Scott to give you more details on our third quarter results as well as details of our fiscal 20 guidance. I'll then return with insights on key drivers of our business and provide an update on the progress of our strategic initiatives before we open it up for Q&A.
