Adobe Inc. (ADBE) – FY2025 Annual Report

Adobe closed fiscal 2025 with revenue of roughly $23.8 billion, up about 11% year over year, while net income jumped nearly 28% to $7.1 billion. The company continues to generate exceptional gross margins near 89% and converts a large share of revenue into cash. What stands out most, however, is the divergence between the operating results, which appear to be strengthening, and the equity base, which has contracted meaningfully due to aggressive share repurchases.

On the profitability front, the operating margin appears to have expanded notably, moving from around 31% to nearly 37%. Part of this improvement may reflect the absence of the $1 billion acquisition termination fee that weighed on FY2024 following the abandoned Figma deal; adjusting for that one-off, the underlying margin trajectory looks more gradual than the headline suggests. Growth remains concentrated in the Digital Media segment, which now approaches $17.6 billion, while the smaller Digital Experience business grows more modestly and the legacy Publishing and Advertising line continues its slow decline. Subscription revenue, at roughly $22.8 billion, underscores the near-complete transition to recurring revenue, and the Business Professionals & Consumers customer group appears to be growing faster than the traditional creative professional base.
