        million in the first quarter last year. GAAP operating margin was 3
        percent, up 13 percentage points year-over-year. The increase was driven

        costs.

        in the first quarter last year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 18

        fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the

        of 24 percent compared to the first quarter last year.

The second quarter and full year fiscal 2020 outlook assume a projected annual effective tax rate of 34 percent and 18 percent for GAAP and non-GAAP results, respectively. Shifts in geographic profitability continue to impact the annual effective tax rate due to significant differences in tax rates in various jurisdictions. Thus, assumptions for the annual effective tax rate are evaluated regularly and may change based on the projected geographic mix of earnings.

Glossary of Terms

Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR): Represents the annualized value of our average monthly recurring revenue for the preceding three months. "Maintenance plan ARR" captures ARR relating to traditional maintenance attached to perpetual licenses. "Subscription plan ARR" captures ARR relating to subscription offerings. Refer to the definition of recurring revenue below for more details on what is included within ARR. Recurring revenue acquired with the acquisition of a business is captured when total subscriptions are captured in our systems and may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.

ARR is currently one of our key performance metrics to assess the health and trajectory of our business. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is a performance metric and is not intended to be combined with any of these items.

Billings: Total revenue plus the net change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period.

Cloud Service Offerings: Represents individual term-based offerings deployed through web browser technologies or in a hybrid software and cloud configuration. Cloud service offerings that are bundled with other product offerings are not captured as a separate cloud service offering.

Constant Currency (CC) Growth Rates: We attempt to represent the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as eliminating hedge gains or losses recorded within the current and comparative periods. We calculate constant currency growth rates by (i) applying the applicable prior period exchange rates to current period results and (ii) excluding any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative periods.

Core Business: Represents the combination of maintenance, product, and EBA.

Enterprise Business Agreements (EBAs): Represents programs providing enterprise customers with token-based access or a fixed maximum number of seats to a broad pool of Autodesk products over a defined contract term.

Free Cash Flow: Cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures.

Maintenance Plan: Our maintenance plans provide our customers with a cost effective and predictable budgetary option to obtain the productivity benefits of our new releases and enhancements when and if released during the term of their contracts. Under our maintenance plans, customers are eligible to receive unspecified upgrades when and if available, and technical support. We recognize maintenance revenue over the term of the agreements, generally one year.

Net Revenue Retention Rate: Measures the year-over-year change in ARR for the population of customers that existed one year ago ("base customers"). Net revenue retention rate is calculated by dividing the current period ARR related to base customers by the total ARR from one year ago. ARR is based on USD reported revenue, and fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and hedge gains or losses have not been eliminated. ARR related to acquired companies is excluded from the calculation for at least one year from integration.

Other Revenue: Consists of revenue from consulting, training and other services, and is recognized over time as the services are performed. Other Revenue also includes software license revenue from the sale of products that do not incorporate substantial cloud services and is recognized up front.

Product Subscription: Provides customers the most flexible, cost-effective way to access and manage 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software tools. Our product subscriptions currently represent a hybrid of desktop and SaaS functionality, which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders.

Recurring Revenue: Consists of the revenue for the period from our traditional maintenance plans and revenue from our subscription plan offerings. It excludes subscription revenue related to consumer product offerings, select Creative Finishing product offerings, education offerings, and third party products. Recurring revenue acquired with the acquisition of a business is captured when total subscriptions are captured in our systems and may cause variability in the comparison of this calculation.

Subscription Plan: Comprises our term-based product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs. Subscriptions represent a combined hybrid offering of desktop software and cloud functionality which provides a device-independent, collaborative design workflow for designers and their stakeholders. With subscription, customers can use our software anytime, anywhere, and get access to the latest updates to previous versions.

Subscription Revenue: Includes subscription fees from product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and EBAs.

Total Deferred Revenue: Is the sum of total short term, long term, and unbilled deferred revenue.

Unbilled Deferred Revenue: Unbilled deferred revenue represents contractually stated or committed orders under early renewal and multi-year billing plans for subscription, services and maintenance for which the associated deferred revenue has not been recognized. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, unbilled deferred revenue is not included as a receivable or deferred revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

                Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures



     
                (In millions, except per share data)




      To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we provide investors with
       certain non-GAAP measures including non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP
       spend, non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow. For our internal budgeting and resource allocation process and as
       a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, we use non-GAAP measures to supplement our
       consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures do not include
       certain items that may have a material impact upon our future reported financial results. We use non-GAAP
       measures in making operating decisions because we believe those measures provide meaningful supplemental
       information regarding our earning potential and performance for management by excluding certain expenses
       and charges that may not be indicative of our core business operating results.  For the reasons set forth
       below, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow
       for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational


      There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not
       prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other
       companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that
       may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent
       limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from
       the non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future
       results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our public
       disclosures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meant to be considered in addition to,
       not as a substitute for or in isolation from, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in
       accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures
       to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this presentation, and not to rely on any single
