Autodesk Inc. (ADSK) 10-K Red Flags

Risk signals extracted deterministically from Autodesk Inc.’s SEC 10-K/10-Q XBRL filings — no LLM, every finding cites the underlying data.

Detected red flags (16)

  • Receivables outpacing revenue: Accounts receivable grew +42.8% YoY vs revenue growth of +17.5%. The +25.2% spread suggests extended credit terms, channel stuffing risk, or collection deterioration. Investigate the allowance for doubtful accounts and DSO trend.
  • NEW: Going concern doubt in latest filing: The term "going concern" "substantial doubt" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 2 filing(s).
  • Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" "internal control" appears in 5 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • NEW: Substantial doubt about ability to continue in latest filing: The term "substantial doubt" "ability to continue" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 2 filing(s).
  • Restatement of financial statements: The term "restatement of" "previously issued" appears in 5 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Operating cash flow exceeds net income: OCF is 2.18x net income, indicating high earnings quality — cash conversion is strong and accruals are not inflating reported profits.
  • Endogenous analysis: Revenue grew +17.5% but receivables grew +42.8% — the receivables-to-revenue gap suggests growth may be partially driven by extended credit terms rather than genuine demand. If DSO continues to rise, a revenue reversal or bad-debt charge could follow.
  • Endogenous analysis: Strong cash conversion (OCF > NI) combined with growing deferred revenue provides high forward visibility. The business model appears to generate sustainable, recurring cash flows — a positive structural indicator.
  • 4 new XBRL disclosure(s) in latest filing — expanding reporting scope.
  • 20 disclosure(s) dropped from prior year — reduced reporting granularity.
  • 3 new risk-language term(s) detected in filing text: Going concern doubt, Substantial doubt about ability to continue, Off-balance sheet arrangements.
