Adobe EPS Up, Shares Off Slightly; More Cloud Subscribers Than Expected

Adobe reported higher profits for its fiscal third quarter but the negative impact of currency may have caused the shares to initially dip 2% after hours.

Adobe Systems (ADBE) stock recovered some of that initial drop, with shares off 12 cents, or 0.36%, to $33.00 about 40 minutes after the� close. The shares rose 1.7% in regular trading Wednesday.

The San Jose, Calif. software company reported net income of $201.4 million, or 40� cents per share, on a GAAP basis.� On a non-GAAP basis, Adobe reported net income of $291.2 or 58 cents per share. Both figures were slightly ahead of the year-ago quarter on a per-share basis.

Revenue came in at $1.071 billion, which was within the company’s targeted range. Quarterly comparisons are are available in the press release here.

Adobe said currency had a negative impact of $9 million, which analysts were watching as we noted in this post earlier this week.

Adobe also saw more cloud subscriptions than it had projected, meaning a licensing model that moved about $29 million more in perpetual revenue to its “Creative Cloud.”

Adobe is holding a conference call here at 5 p.m. EST.
