Section 2 — Financial Information

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On June 14, 2007, Adobe issued a press release announcing its financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 1, 2007. A copy of this press release is furnished and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this report and the exhibit attached hereto are being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly stated by specific reference in such filing.

The attached press release includes non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP effective tax rate, and forecasted non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP effective tax rate for the third fiscal quarter 2007.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

For our internal budgeting and resource allocation process, we use financial information that does not include: (a) the stock-based compensation impact of SFAS 123R and related tax impact; (b) amortization of Macromedia stock-based compensation and related tax impact; (c) restructuring and other charges and related tax impact; (d) amortization of purchased intangibles and incomplete technology and related tax impact; (e) investment gains and losses and related tax impact; (f) net tax impact of the R&D tax benefit; and (g) the income tax effect of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because we believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and gives us a better understanding of how we should invest in research and development and fund infrastructure and go-to-market strategies. We use these measures to help us make budgeting decisions, for example, as between product development expenses and research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate our internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.

As described above, we exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP measures:

A. Stock compensation impact of SFAS 123R and related tax impact. These expenses consist of expenses for employee stock options and employee stock purchases under SFAS 123R. We exclude stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R in fiscal 2006, we did not include expenses related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases directly in our financial statements, but elected, as permitted by SFAS 123, to disclose such expenses in the footnotes to our financial statements. As we apply SFAS 123R, we believe that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of the application of SFAS 123R to our operational performance, liquidity and our ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. While stock-based compensation expense calculated in accordance with SFAS 123R constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by us and because such expense is not used by us to assess the core profitability of our business operations. We further believe these measures are useful to investors in that they allow for greater transparency to certain line items in our financial statements. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates comparisons to our competitors’ operating results.

B. Amortization of Macromedia stock-based compensation and related tax impact. We are amortizing stock-based compensation related to unvested options assumed in connection with our acquisition of Macromedia in December 2005. The stock-based compensation is expected to be fully amortized by the end of fiscal 2007. We exclude these items because these expenses are non-cash in nature and because the non-GAAP financial measures which exclude this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance, liquidity, and our ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. We further believe that excluding this expense is useful to investors in that it allows for greater transparency to certain line items in our financial statements. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates our internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to our competitors’ operating results.

C. Restructuring and other charges and related tax impact. We incurred Board of Director approved restructuring charges associated with realigning our business upon the acquisition of Macromedia in December 2005. These actions were taken to eliminate certain duplicative activities, focus our resources on future growth opportunities and reduce our cost structure. In connection with the worldwide restructuring plan, we recognized costs related to termination benefits for former Adobe employees whose positions were eliminated and for the closure of Adobe facilities. We also recognized costs related to the cancellation of certain contracts held by us. We exclude these items because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the current period. It is possible, however, that additional charges related to our facility leases may be incurred for various reasons including changes in cost estimates, the date the facility is vacated, subtenant leases, etc.

D. Amortization of purchased intangibles and incomplete technology and related tax impact. We incur amortization of purchased intangible assets primarily in connection with our acquisition of Macromedia in December 2005. Purchased intangibles include (a) developed technology and (b) core technology and patents. Developed technology relates primarily to Macromedia products across all of Macromedia product lines that had reached technological feasibility as of December 2005. Core technology and patents represent primarily a combination of Macromedia’s processes, patents and trade secrets developed through years of experience in design and development of its products. We expect to amortize for accounting purposes the fair value of the purchased intangibles based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed as revenue is generated. Although, the intangible assets generate revenue for us, we exclude this item because this expense is non-cash in nature and because we believe the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance, liquidity and our ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates our internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We also incurred charges related to (i) incomplete technology in connection with certain small acquisitions and (ii) prior activity in connection with a technology license arrangement. We exclude these items because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the current period.

E. Investment gains and losses and related tax impact. We incur investment gains and losses on the sale and exchange of equity securities that are held directly and also indirectly through investment partnerships. We do not actively trade publicly-held securities nor do we rely on these securities positions for funding our ongoing operations. We exclude gains and losses and the related tax impact on these equity securities because these items are unrelated to our ongoing business and operating results.

F. Net tax impact of the R&D Tax Benefit. In the first quarter of 2007, we realized a one time tax benefit due to the reenactment of the Federal Research and Development tax credit, which was retroactively extended to January 1, 2006. The impact of this law change was reflected in our first quarter fiscal year 2007 tax provision as a discrete item related to the tax credit for fiscal year 2006. We excluded this item because this tax benefit is not reflective of ongoing results and has no direct correlation to the operation of our business.

G. Effective Tax Rate. Excluding the income tax effect of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes assists investors in understanding the tax provision associated with those adjustments and the effective tax rate related to our ongoing operations.

We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures and that is why we qualify the use of non-GAAP financial information in a statement when non-GAAP information is presented.

Adobe Reports Record Revenue

17 Percent Revenue Growth Driven by Strong Creative Suite 3 and Acrobat Performance

SAN JOSE, Calif. — June 14, 2007 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2007 ended June 1, 2007. Adobe achieved record revenue of $745.6 million, compared to $635.5 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and $649.4 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This represents 17 percent year-over-year revenue growth. Adobe’s second quarter revenue target range was $700 to $740 million.

“Q2 was a strong quarter, driven by the record performance of both our Creative Suite products and Acrobat,” said Bruce Chizen, chief executive officer of Adobe. “Assuming continued business momentum, we expect to exceed our original fiscal year revenue and profit targets.”

GAAP Results

Adobe’s GAAP diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $0.25, based on 603.4 million weighted average shares. This compares with GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.20 reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 based on 613.8 million weighted average shares, and GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.24 reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 based on 604.2 million weighted average shares. Adobe’s second quarter GAAP earnings per share target range was $0.23 to $0.26.

GAAP operating income was $180.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $147.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and $146.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. As a percent of revenue, GAAP operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 24.2 percent, compared to 23.3 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and 22.5 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

GAAP net income was $152.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $123.1 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, and $143.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $0.37. This compares with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.31 reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.30 reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Adobe’s second quarter non-GAAP earnings per share target range was $0.34 to $0.36.

Adobe’s non-GAAP operating income was $282.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $243.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and $223.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. As a percent of revenue, non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 37.8 percent, compared to 38.3 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and 34.5 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Non-GAAP net income was $223.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $189.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, and $183.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.

Adobe Provides Third Quarter Financial Targets

For the third quarter of fiscal 2007, Adobe announced it is targeting revenue of $760 million to $800 million. The Company also is targeting a GAAP operating margin of approximately 27 to 28 percent. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company is targeting an operating margin of approximately 39 percent.

In addition, Adobe is targeting its share count to be between 607 million and 609 million shares. The Company also is targeting other income to be approximately $21 million to $22 million, with a GAAP tax rate of approximately 25 to 26 percent and a non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 26 to 27 percent.

These targets lead to a GAAP earnings per share target range of approximately $0.28 to $0.31. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company is targeting earnings per share of approximately $0.39 to $0.41.

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP targets is provided at the end of this press release.

Adobe continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Adobe uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adobe’s management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adobe presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Adobe’s operating results in a manner that focuses on what Adobe believes to be its ongoing business operations. Adobe’s management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes the stock-based compensation impact of SFAS 123R and related tax impact, amortization of Macromedia stock-based compensation and related tax impact, restructuring and other charges and related tax impact, amortization of purchased intangibles and incomplete technology and related tax impact, investment gains and losses and related tax impact, the net tax impact of the R&D

tax benefit, the income tax effect of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes, and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of Adobe’s business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever Adobe uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above.
