Adobe's Q3 Fiscal 2026 8-K: Disclosure Details and Non-GAAP Framework

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE), incorporated in Delaware and headquartered at 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, California, filed a current report on September 10, 2026, under Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition). According to the filing, Adobe issued a press release on that date announcing financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, covering the period ended August 28, 2026. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.

The filing notes that the attached press release includes several non-GAAP financial measures. According to Adobe's disclosure, these measures are "not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies." The company stated that it uses these measures "in making operating decisions because we believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance." Specifically, non-GAAP results exclude stock-based and deferred compensation expenses, amortization of intangibles, acquisition-related expenses such as deal costs and certain professional fees, and investment gains and losses.

The filing also explains that Adobe includes adjusted or constant currency revenue growth rates "to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses have performed or are expected to perform on a year-over-year basis, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations." These rates are calculated by converting non-U.S. dollar revenue using comparative period exchange rates. The company cautioned that non-GAAP measures "should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures."
