Fiscal 2007 Revenue Compared to Fiscal 2006 Revenue
Revenue from our Creative Solutions segment increased $461.0 million during fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006
primarily due to the launch of the English versions of our CS3 family of products in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and the
release of localized versions of our CS3 family of products during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Revenue from our Knowledge Worker Solutions segment increased $70.7 million during fiscal 2007 as compared to
fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase in the licensing of our new Acrobat 8 family of products.
Revenue from our Enterprise and Developer Solutions segment increased $41.6 million during fiscal 2007 as compared
to fiscal 2006 primarily due to continued adoption of our LiveCycle family of products.
Revenue from our Mobile and Device Solutions segment increased $15.0 million during fiscal 2007 as compared to
fiscal 2006 due to continued adoption of our Flash Lite by mobile and non-PC device manufacturers, and our Flash Cast
solutions by mobile operators.
Revenue from our Other segment decreased $5.7 million during fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006 primarily due to
lower revenue associated with some of our legacy products in our Print and Classic Publishing segment. This decrease was
offset in part by increased revenue related to Flash Player in our Platform segment.
Fiscal 2006 Revenue Compared to Fiscal 2005 Revenue
Revenue from our Creative Solutions segment increased $309.7 million during fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005
primarily due to the addition of new products related to the acquisition of Macromedia. Revenue from our Digital Video
software products increased approximately 45% due to the release of the Adobe Production Studio and new versions of our
video products. Revenue from our creative products also increased 9% due to continued growth in revenue from our Adobe
Creative Suite product and the introduction of new software bundles. These increases were partially offset by a 2% decrease
in revenue from our Digital Imaging software products due to timing of the release of new product versions and the success
of our suites and bundles.
Revenue from our Knowledge Worker Solutions segment increased $64.3 million during fiscal 2006 as compared to
fiscal 2005 primarily due to continued adoption of our Acrobat family of products and the launch of Acrobat 8 during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The addition of new products related to the acquisition of Macromedia also contributed to the
revenue increase. There were no notable revenue decreases for fiscal 2006.
