Business-activity disclosure
Autodesk provides design, engineering, construction, manufacturing and media-and-entertainment software, primarily through subscriptions. General-purpose design and productivity tools are generally permissible, while customer end use, content and certain transactions require school- and contract-specific review.
Limitation: The filing reports revenue by product family and product type but does not isolate a reproducible numerator for defense, gaming, adult, customer-content or other potentially prohibited end use.
Purification
The filing discloses $4 million of net interest and investment income, or 0.21% of quarterly revenue, but operating revenue by potentially prohibited end use remains unavailable and the income line includes netting. No fixed purification percentage is prescribed; readers should follow the scholar or methodology they use.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Debt uses $2.500 billion of senior notes principal outstanding; the balance-sheet carrying value of notes payable was $2.484 billion after discount and issuance costs. The $1.5 billion revolving facility had no outstanding borrowings at April 30, 2026.
- Cash uses $2.671 billion of cash and cash equivalents. Separately reported short- and long-term marketable securities total $638 million; cash-equivalent debt securities are already included in the cash balance and are not added again.
- Receivables use $579 million of net accounts receivable. Revenue uses $1.934 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2026, including $1.836 billion of subscription revenue and $98 million of other revenue.
- The filing reports $4 million of net interest and investment income. Interest and other income also includes a $56 million gain on strategic investments, foreign-currency results and other income; those amounts are not treated as interest income.
- Autodesk reports product-family revenue but does not quantify a universal prohibited end-use numerator for defense, entertainment, gaming, adult or other customer activity. No zero-haram-revenue claim is entered.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
