Adobe Inc.'s fiscal 2026 third-quarter results cover the period ended August 28, with the results issued on September 10, 2026. Investors are told to assess adjusted and constant-currency measures alongside GAAP results because the non-GAAP figures exclude selected recurring, noncash, acquisition-related and other items.

Key Highlights

  • Adobe’s non-GAAP presentation includes operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, Operating Margin and tax rate.
  • The adjusted framework excludes stock-based compensation, intangible amortization, Acquisition costs, Investment gains and losses, Goodwill Impairment and other specified items.
  • Adobe issued its fiscal 2026 third-quarter results on September 10, 2026.

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter results for the period ended August 28, with the results issued on September 10, 2026. The release presents both GAAP measures and a range of adjusted metrics for assessing the quarter.

Adjusted Metrics Cover Key Operating Measures

Adobe’s non-GAAP information includes adjusted or constant-currency Revenue growth, operating income, net income, diluted Net Income per share, operating margin and tax rate. The company says constant-currency growth is intended to show year-over-year Business performance without the effect of foreign-exchange movements and the impact of a 52/53-week fiscal year, when applicable. The adjustments exclude stock-based and deferred compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, selected acquisition-related expenses, investment gains and losses, goodwill impairment, certain legal-event loss contingencies, lease-related asset impairments and other charges. Income-tax adjustments and the tax effects of non-GAAP pretax adjustments are also excluded from the adjusted tax presentation.

GAAP Comparison Remains Required

Adobe says its non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from measures used by other companies. The company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information when evaluating operating performance and making decisions on research and development, infrastructure, go-to-market strategies, acquisitions and capital expenditures. The company also says the adjusted measures can help investors understand selected operating metrics and compare results across accounting periods. Adobe’s stated framework requires those measures to be considered with corresponding GAAP results because adjusted figures do not capture every amount included in GAAP financial results.
