Adobe Inc.

Welcome you to the Adobe third quarter fiscal year 2019 earnings conference call. Today's conference is being recorded. During today's presentation, all lines will be muted and we will take questions at the end of the prepared remarks. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Mike Savage, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir.

Good afternoon and thank you for joining us today. Joining me on the call are Adobe's President and CEO, Shantanu Narayan, and John Murphy, Executive Vice President and CFO. In our call today, we will discuss Adobe's third quarter fiscal year 2019 financial results. By now, you should have a copy of our earnings press release, which crossed the wire approximately one hour ago. We've also posted PDFs of our earnings call prepared remarks and slides and an updated investor data sheet on adobe.com. If you'd like a copy of these documents, you can go to Adobe's Investor Relations page and find them listed under Quick Links. Before we get started, We want to emphasize that some of the information discussed in this call, particularly our revenue and operating model targets, and our forward-looking product plans, is based on information as of today, September 17, 2019, and contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in such statements. For discussion of these risks and uncertainties, you should review the forward-looking statements disclosure in the earnings press release we issued today, as well as Adobe's SEC filings.

Thanks, Mike, and good afternoon. Q3 was a record quarter for Adobe with strong revenue and continued growth across our entire business. We delivered 2.83 billion in revenue in Q3, representing 24% year-over-year growth. Gap earnings per share for the quarter was $1.61, and non-gap earnings per share was $2.05. Adobe's strategy to empower people to create and transform how businesses compete is fueling our continued success. The ability to deliver a personalized relationship with every customer using digital technology is a mandate for every business. Internal efficiency, including a paper to digital revolution, is critical to achieving that imperative. In addition, design and creativity has never been more relevant. Everyone has a story to tell, from professional photographers to immersive content and experience designers to students and small business owners. And they need to tell it on an ever-increasing number of canvases. Adobe is innovating to expand these market opportunities, and customers around the globe continue to count on Adobe Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud to run their businesses, transform how they work, and bring their creative ideas to life. In our digital media business, we drove strong revenue growth in both Creative Cloud and Document Cloud in Q3. Net new digital media annualized recurring revenue, or ARR, was $386 million, and total digital media ARR exiting Q3 grew to $7.86 billion. Q3 creative revenue was $1.65 billion, which represents 22% year-over-year growth. Creative Cloud is the creativity platform for all. Through a relentless focus on innovation across different media types, devices, and segments, Creative Cloud has become the one-stop shop for creative applications and services, as well as the leading source for creative inspiration, learning, training, and community. Our goal is to ensure that Creative Cloud applications and services make every creative possibility a reality for every one of our customers. Adobe's vision is that mobile devices and tablets should be used for creation in addition to consumption. Adobe Lightroom, our complete system for photo editing, achieves significant growth on mobile devices, with Q3 monthly active users growing 130% year over year. In Q3, new Adobe IDs created from Adobe mobile apps rose more than 40% year over year, showing that mobile continues to be a healthy on-ramp for subscriptions. In Q3, we announced Adobe Fresco, a groundbreaking drawing and painting app, which will be available first on iPad later this fall. Fresco digitally reimagines the process that artists have traditionally used, whether it's chalk, pastels, oil, or watercolor paint. Like Photoshop transformed and democratized photography, we believe Fresco will change how artists use digital to draw and illustrate. Apple will feature Fresco in hundreds of its retail stores as part of its iPad Pro Big Draw campaign. At Adobe, we believe that creative skills should be a core part of school curricula, and that STEAM, not just STEM, should be a focus in education. We've expanded our Adobe Ambassador Network to target more than 100 colleges across the country, where students evangelize creativity and lead on-campus workshops to help fellow students learn to use Adobe Creative products. Last week we launched a new program with Reddit to encourage young creators to contribute their personal designs to a giant global canvas on the Reddit front page. This was the biggest community event on Reddit based on total contributions and participation. These types of partnerships give us an opportunity to introduce Creative Cloud to millions of next generation creators. Adobe MAX is the world's largest creativity conference. In November, we'll welcome our global creative community and partners, more than 15,000 live attendees and nearly 1 million virtual attendees, and unveil significant new Adobe Creative Cloud innovation. With Document Cloud, we are accelerating the transformation of paper to digital processes and reinventing how people scan, edit, collaborate, sign, and share digital documents. Q3 Document Cloud Revenue and NetNew ARR were records for a quarter, and we grew total Document Cloud ARR to 993 million. Key Document Cloud customer wins in Q3 included Deutsche Bank, Saudi Aramco, Dell, and the US Department of Veteran Affairs. As with our creative products, our Document Cloud customers increasingly expect business processes to be seamless across desktop and mobile devices. In Q3, more than 2.5 billion PDFs were opened in Adobe Reader on mobile devices. Adobe Scan, which has become the top document scanning app for both iOS and Android, has close to 35 million installs, with downloads increasing more than 30% year over year in Q3. Strong uptake of our Document Cloud mobile applications, as well as continued strength in Acrobat subscription adoption, is driving momentum in the business. In addition, we launched new web-based services that offer instant access to Adobe PDF creation and compression capabilities from any browser. We believe these services are not only relevant to individuals looking to quickly get work done, but also developers who need to build best-in-class PDF document support into their web applications. We're investing in creative marketing campaigns to drive awareness of these capabilities and target new users. Adobe Sign, our leading cloud-based electronic signature solution, continues to gain traction among businesses and organizations. This quarter, we introduced Adobe Sign for small business, providing small and mid-market businesses enterprise-level e-signature capabilities. In our digital experience business, we achieved experience cloud revenue of $821 million for the quarter, which represents 34% year-over-year growth. Our vision is to help every business become an experience business. This means enabling them to deliver engaging experiences that anticipate and meet the needs of their customers at every stage of their journey, from acquisition to purchase and renewal. We believe customer experience management is a significant growth opportunity for Adobe. Experience Cloud is the industry's most comprehensive offering, providing content and commerce, customer journey management, and customer data and insights to power experience-driven businesses across all industries. In Q3, Experience Cloud was named a leader in seven Gartner Magic Quadrant and Forrester Wave reports. Key experience cloud wins in Q3 included Delta Airlines, T-Mobile, Capital One, and Best Western. We are the undisputed leader in this large and growing market, and we continue to expand the opportunity in front of us, extending our footprint from B2C to B2B, from enterprise to mid-market, and from the CMO to the CIO, CTO, and CEO. Content and commerce are the foundation for every digital business. We continue to drive strong performance with Adobe Experience Manager for multi-channel experience delivery. Through integration with Magento Commerce, we are making every experience shoppable. This has led to strong performance of our integrated content and commerce offering and Magento Commerce bookings growth of more than 40% year over year in Q3. Multi-channel campaign management is another differentiated pillar of the Adobe Experience Cloud. The integration of Marketo with Adobe Campaign gives Adobe the industry's strongest offering in the customer journey management and orchestration space across both B2B and B2C. Earlier this year, we introduced Adobe Experience Platform, the industry's first real-time platform for customer experience management. Adobe Experience Platform will solve a critical challenge every enterprise is facing, how to harness massive amounts of valuable customer data that is siloed and not easily accessible or actionable. Adobe Experience Platform stitches together data from across the enterprise, creating real-time unified customer profiles, enabling the activation and delivery of hyper-personalized experiences. By combining Adobe Experience Platform with Adobe Analytics, Adobe Audience Manager, and our new real-time customer data platform, or CDP, we are creating a new comprehensive customer data and insights offering for the digital enterprise that is unmatched. Adobe Experience Platform has been several years in the making, and we've seen tremendous enthusiasm from customers for the solution with multiple pilot deployments already in market. We continue to be the leader in customer experience management, which has a TAM of more than 70 billion by 2021. While we experienced some bookings delays in Q3, our robust product roadmap and customer pipeline positions us for multiple years of strong growth. At Adobe, we continue to invest in our employees who are the heart and soul of our company. Last week at our annual Adobe for All Summit, we reaffirmed global gender pay parity for our workforce and shared new details and data on our Opportunity Parity Initiative, which examines fairness in promotion rates and access to new opportunities for our employees. Adobe is the leader in several large and growing categories, creativity, digital documents, and customer experience management. We remain excited about the opportunities in front of us and confident in our ability to drive strong top-line and bottom-line growth. John?
