ADBE · Form 10-Q Synthesis

AI-Driven Growth Under Regulatory Pressure

Adobe is executing a strategy centered on leveraging Artificial Intelligence to drive strong subscription revenue growth, achieving 12.5% year-over-year Total ARR expansion to $27.10 billion. However, this rapid technological evolution is coupled with an escalating and complex risk profile, driven primarily by global AI regulation, intensifying competition, and systemic cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Financial and Strategic Posture

The company demonstrates robust top-line growth and effective capital management while navigating macroeconomic headwinds:

Revenue Performance
  • Strong Growth Momentum: Total subscription revenue grew 14% year-over-year, with the high-value Creative & Marketing Professionals segment showing particularly strong performance (13% YoY growth).
  • Strategic Investment: The core strategy revolves around integrating AI across solutions and expanding its platform through targeted acquisitions, such as Semrush.
  • Financial Health: Cash flows from operations increased by 10%, supported by significant liquidity ($4.919 billion in cash and equivalents) and flexible financing tools.
Execution Efficiency Concerns
  • While revenue grew strongly (up 13%), operating expenses increased at a faster rate (17%). This indicates that operational leverage may be strained, resulting in net income remaining relatively flat despite strong top-line performance.
  • Management has disclosed significant non-operational costs, including a goodwill impairment charge related to the Publishing & Advertising unit and loss contingencies from legal settlements.

Major Risks and Challenges

The most significant risks stem from external forces that challenge the company's ability to maintain its growth trajectory:

Regulatory and Technological Headwinds
  • AI Disruption Risk: The inability to successfully innovate or keep pace with rapid AI changes poses a critical threat. Success hinges on proprietary datasets and models, and failure could materially harm business results against faster-moving rivals.
  • Global Compliance Burden: Regulatory uncertainty is high. Obligations under frameworks like the EU AI Act are actively being implemented through 2030, increasing compliance costs and exposing the company to administrative fines for non-compliance with evolving data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
Operational Vulnerabilities
  • Cybersecurity and Supply Chain: Solutions rely heavily on third parties, but the company lacks redundancy across all systems. The rise of cyber-focused large language models accelerates exploitation risks; a single compromise in a critical vendor or a major breach could cause system-wide failure and severe financial liability.
  • Geopolitical Instability: Operations are exposed to global economic instability, including inflation, interest rate fluctuations, trade disputes, and currency exchange volatility, which the company attempts to mitigate through hedging programs.

Internal Controls and Management Confidence

Management maintains a high degree of confidence in its operational stability:

Control Environment
  • The filing confirms that internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of May 29, 2026, with no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies identified during the quarter.
  • No changes to internal control procedures were reported during the period.
Management Transparency
  • Management is transparent about macroeconomic risks and specific financial pressures. However, the MD&A includes standard cautionary language limiting accountability for forward-looking statements, while also acknowledging inherent limitations in controls (i.e., no system provides absolute assurance against all fraud or errors).

Cash from operations could also be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks detailed in the section titled "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of this report. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, our anticipated cash flows from operations and our available revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital, operating resource expenditure and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future. Our cash equivalent and short-term investment portfolio as of February 27, 2026 consisted of money market funds, corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, time deposits and other investments. We expect to continue our investing activities, including short-term and long-term investments, purchases of computer and server hardware to operate our network infrastructure, sales and marketing, product support and administrative staff. Furthermore, cash reserves may be used to repurchase stock under our stock repurchase program and to strategically acquire companies, products or technologies that are complementary to our business. On November 18, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Semrush Holdings, Inc., a publicly held brand visibility platform company, for approximately $1.9 billion, primarily in cash consideration. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. We expect to finance the acquisition using cash on hand.

We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates on a regular basis. We also discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for revenue recognition and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. These areas are key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to make judgments and estimates, and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results.

Effective tax rate22 %17 % Our effective tax rate increased by approximately five percentage points for the three months ended February 27, 2026, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the anticipated benefit from a foreign tax asset in the prior year, and an increase in the net tax expense related to stock-based compensation and decrease in the net tax benefit from effects of non-U.S. operations in the current year. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended February 27, 2026 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and a net tax expense related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by net tax benefits from the effects of non-U.S. operations and the U.S. federal research tax credit. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized based on evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence. On the basis of this evaluation, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount realizable. The total valuation allowance was $833 million as of February 27, 2026, primarily related to certain U.S. state and federal credits and capital loss carryforwards. We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in multiple domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. The current U.S. tax law subjects the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries to U.S. tax and generally allows an exemption from taxation for distributions from foreign subsidiaries. In the current global tax policy environment, the domestic and foreign governing bodies continue to consider, and in some cases introduce, changes in regulations applicable to corporate multinationals such as Adobe. As regulations are issued, we account for finalized regulations in the period of enactment. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced an international tax framework that provides for a global minimum tax of 15% for large multinational companies. The framework and guidance do not have a material impact on our effective rates for income taxes or cash taxes paid. We continue to monitor developments and evaluate impacts, if any, of these rules on our results of operations and cash flows. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("2025 U.S. Tax Act") was enacted in the United States. Among the changes, the 2025 U.S. Tax Act restores immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs and modifies certain international provisions effective for us starting in fiscal 2026 and 2027, respectively.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes The gross liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties were $702 million and $657 million as of February 27, 2026 and February 28, 2025, respectively. If the total unrecognized tax benefits as of February 27, 2026 and February 28, 2025 were recognized, $536 million and $492 million would decrease the respective effective tax rates. As of February 27, 2026 and February 28, 2025, the combined amounts of accrued interest and penalties included in long-term income taxes payable related to tax positions taken on our tax returns were not material. The timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain as are the amounts and timing of tax payments that are part of any audit settlement process. These events could cause large fluctuations in the balance sheet classification of our tax assets and liabilities. We believe that within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude or statutes of limitations on certain income tax examination periods will expire, or both. Our future effective tax rates may be materially affected by changes in the tax rates in jurisdictions where our income is earned, changes in jurisdictions in which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in or interpretation of tax rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business, or unexpected changes in business and market conditions that could reduce certain tax benefits. In addition, tax laws in the United States as well as other countries and jurisdictions in which we conduct business are subject to change as new laws are passed and/or new interpretations are made available. These countries, governmental bodies, such as the European Commission of the European Union, and intergovernmental economic organizations, such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, have made and/or could make other unprecedented assertions about how taxation is determined and, in some cases, have proposed or enacted new laws that are contrary to the way in which rules and regulations have historically been interpreted and applied. Changes in our operating landscape, such as changes in laws or interpretations of tax rules, have in the past and may in the future adversely affect our effective tax rates and/or cause us to respond by making changes to our business structure, which could adversely affect our operations and financial results. Moreover, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by domestic and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from these examinations. Our policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. While we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, we cannot provide assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

As part of our customer-focused strategy, we utilize a data-driven operating model and tailored go-to-market motion to raise awareness of our products and drive customer acquisition, engagement and retention. Overall, our strategy is designed to increase our revenue with existing users, continue to attract new customers, and grow our recurring and predictable revenue stream that is recognized ratably. Due to the nature of certain offerings which contain cross-product integrations or benefits, revenue attributable to certain product entitlements may be recognized in either customer group. The key performance metric used by management to evaluate progress against our customer-focused strategy is Total Adobe Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), which represents the annual value of subscription contracts in the Creative & Marketing Professionals and Business Professionals & Consumers customer groups.

If our goodwill or intangible assets become impaired, then we could be required to record a significant charge to earnings. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually. We review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, including declines in stock price, market capitalization or reduced future cash flow estimates and slower growth rates in our industry. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge related to our Publishing & Advertising reporting unit. We may be required to record additional charges to earnings in our consolidated financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets is determined, negatively impacting our results of operations. For additional information regarding our goodwill impairment, see Part I, Item 1, Note 7 of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 48

may reduce our margins. Breaches of our security measures and the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unauthorized dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive, personal or confidential data about us, our employees, our customers or their end users, including the potential loss or disclosure of such information or data have in the past, and could in the future, expose us, our employees, our customers or other individuals affected to a risk of loss or misuse of this information. Further, our efforts to address these problems, including notifying affected third parties when appropriate, have in the past been, and may in the future be, unsuccessful or delayed, which could result in business interruptions, cessation of service, loss of existing or potential customers and reputational harm. Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities or incidents have resulted in, and may result in additional, claims or litigation and liability or fines, costly and time-intensive notice requirements, governmental inquiry or oversight or a loss of customer confidence, any of which have in the past and may in the future harm our business and damage our brand and reputation. Our customers may also adopt security measures to protect their computer systems and their instances of our software from attack and may suffer a cybersecurity breach on their own systems, unrelated to our systems. Even if such breach is unrelated to our security systems, solutions or programs, such breach could cause us reputational harm and require us to incur significant economic and operational consequences to adequately assess and respond to their breach, and to implement additional safeguards designed to protect against future breaches. While we maintain insurance to cover operational risks, such as cybersecurity risk and technology outages, our insurance may not be sufficient to cover all liability described herein. These risks will likely increase as we expand our hosted solutions, integrate our solutions and store and process more data. Moreover, delayed sales, lower margins or lost customers resulting from disruptions caused by cyberattacks, data breaches, overly burdensome preventive security measures or failure to fully meet information security control certification requirements could materially and adversely affect our financial results, stock price and reputation. If we are unable to develop, manage and maintain our sales channels, including our direct sales force, third-party distributors, and sales partners, or third-party relationships upon which we rely for critical business operations, our revenue and business may be adversely affected. We rely on our direct sales channel and a number of third-party distributors and sales partners to distribute our solutions. The successful management of these relationships is a complex, global process. We sell many solutions through our direct sales force. Risks associated with this sales channel include challenges related to hiring, retaining and motivating our direct sales force, and substantial amounts of ongoing training for sales representatives. Our business could be harmed if our direct sales expansion efforts do not generate the corresponding efficiencies and revenue we anticipated from such investment. In addition, the loss of key sales employees could impact our customer relationships and future ability to sell to certain accounts covered by such employees. Moreover, if our partner and distribution channels are not effective or if we stop or change our partner or distribution channels, we may lose sales opportunities, customers and revenue. We rely on third-party distribution platforms and are subject to changes in pricing structure, terms of service, privacy practices and other policies at the discretion of the platform provider. Any adverse changes to the terms with such third-party distribution platforms which we rely on to distribute our solutions may adversely affect our financial results. Additionally, our distribution channels may not continue to market or sell our solutions effectively and may favor solutions of other companies. If an agreement with one of our distributors or partners was terminated, any prolonged delay in securing a replacement distributor or partner could have a negative impact on our results of operations. We also face legal risk and potential reputational harm from the activities of these independent third parties including, but not limited to, export control violations, workplace conditions, corruption and anti-competitive behavior. We also rely on third-party service providers and technologies to deliver our solutions and business operations and to operate critical business systems, such as cloud-based infrastructure, data center facilities, generative AI, large language models, encryption and authentication technology, company email and other communication channels, and communications with customers. If such third parties are negatively affected, if we fail to effectively develop, manage and maintain our relationships with such third parties, or if we are unable to renew our agreements with them on favorable terms or at all, our expenses could significantly increase, and we and our customers may experience service interruptions. Any disruption or damage to, or failure of our systems generally, including the systems of our third-party platform providers, could result in interruptions in our services and harm our business. Further, interruptions in our services caused by us or our third-party service providers may cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause customers to make warranty or other claims against us or to terminate their subscriptions or contracts, and adversely affect our attrition rates and our ability to attract new customers, all of which may adversely affect our financial results. Our business and reputation would also be harmed if our customers and potential customers believe our services are unreliable. 41

The costs to prevent, eliminate, mitigate or remediate cybersecurity or other security problems and vulnerabilities are significant and may reduce our margins.

Our solutions collect, store, manage and otherwise process third-party data, including our customers' data and our own data. Such solutions as well as our technologies, systems and networks have been subject to, and may in the future be subject to, cyberattacks, computer viruses, ransomware or other malware, fraud, worms, social engineering, denial-of-service attacks, malicious software programs, insider threats and other cybersecurity incidents that have in the past, and may in the future, result in the unauthorized access, disclosure, acquisition, use, loss or destruction of sensitive personal or business data belonging to us, our employees and our customers. Some of our solutions include third-party open-source software, which may contain security vulnerabilities that may be exploited, potentially compromising our solutions. Increasing use of AI in our internal systems and solutions may create new attack methods. Cybersecurity incidents can be caused by human error from our workforce or that of our third-party service providers, by malicious third parties, acting alone or in groups, or by more sophisticated organizations, including nation-states and state-sponsored organizations. Such risks may be elevated in connection with geopolitical tensions, including the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East, as well as malicious third parties utilizing emerging technologies, such as AI and machine learning. Certain unauthorized parties have in the past managed, and may in the future manage, to overcome our security measures and those of our third-party service providers to access and misuse systems and software by exploiting defects in design, configuration or manufacture, including bugs, vulnerabilities, change management errors and other problems that unexpectedly compromise the security or operation of a product or system. Further, unauthorized parties or authorized parties that exceed their authorized access may also gain physical access to our facilities and infiltrate our information systems or attempt to gain logical access to our solutions or information systems to access content and data and may result in computer viruses, worms, ransomware or other malware. Malicious third parties have in the past, and may in the future, fraudulently induce our employees or users of our solutions to disclose sensitive, personal or confidential information via illegal electronic spamming, phishing, social engineering or other tactics, and this risk is heightened in our current hybrid model working environment. Our solutions are incorporated into the supply chain of a large number of companies worldwide and, as a result, if our solutions experience a compromise, a large portion or, in some instances, all of our customers and their data for a given solution could be simultaneously affected. The potential liability and associated consequences we could suffer as a result of such a large scale event could be significant, and materially and adversely impact our business. Malicious actors may also engage in fraudulent or abusive activities through our solutions, including unauthorized use of accounts through stolen credentials, use of stolen credit cards or other payment vehicles, failure to pay for services accessed, or other activities that violate our terms of service. While we actively combat such fraudulent activities, we have experienced, and may in the future experience, impacts to our revenue and reputation from such activities. Maintaining the security of our solutions is a critical issue for us and our customers. We devote significant resources to address security vulnerabilities through various methods, including, but not limited to, engineering more secure products, enhancing security and reliability features in our products and systems, regularly reviewing our service providers' security controls, and continually assessing and improving, as appropriate, our incident response process. However, it is impossible to accurately predict the extent, frequency or impact cybersecurity issues may have on us, and our security measures do not provide full effective protection from all such events. There can be no assurance that we have the capability to detect all vulnerabilities or new attack methods and our internal security controls may not keep pace with quickly evolving threats.
