Adobe Bullish About Summer Sales Adobe Bullish About Summer  After 24 Percent Profit Growth, Record Revenue in 2nd Quarter
 
  June 15, 2007-- Bullish executives at Adobe Systems Inc. are  predicting a blockbuster summer as the company, which produces popular software  such as Photoshop, continues its biggest-ever product launch. Summer is a  traditionally lackluster season for American retailers -- particularly software  companies that sell expensive items to corporations whose employees often go on  vacation in July and August. But Adobe Chief Executive Bruce Chizen predicted  Thursday that Adobe would sell more goods in the third quarter than in the  second quarter, setting a new all-time quarterly revenue record.
 
  "The heart of summer is always a difficult quarter for  us. Despite that, we're providing guidance that says we'll grow sequentially,  which is rare for Adobe," said Chizen, who characterized the  second-quarter performance as "dynamite." "Customers seem to  like what we're doing." Adobe said Thursday that it expects third-quarter  earnings from 28 cents to 31 cents per share on revenue of $760 million to $800  million. Excluding one-time items, it expects to earn 39 cents to 41 cents per  share.
 
  The San Jose-based company reported a 24 percent surge in  second-quarter profit, setting a record in revenue and exceeding Wall Street  expectations.
 
  Net income for the three months that ended June 1 was $152.5  million, or 25 cents a share, up from $123.1 million, or 20 cents a share, in  the same quarter last year.
 
  Second-quarter sales were a record $745.6 million, up 17  percent from $635.5 million in the second quarter of 2006, the previous overall  record.
 
  Excluding costs for expenses, such as restructuring charges  related to the December 2005 acquisition of Macromedia Inc., profit was $223.2  million, or 37 cents per share, compared with $189.4 million, or 31 cents per  share, in the year-ago quarter.
 
  On that basis, analysts were expecting Adobe to earn $216.6  million, or 35 cents per share, on revenue of $729.3 million, according to a  Thomson Financial survey.
 
  Shares dropped 15 cents to $43.96 Thursday before the results  were released, then lost another 46 cents in after-hours trading.
 
  Analyst Martin Pyykkonen said the company is vulnerable to an  economic slowdown but otherwise seems solid. He believes the stock could hit  $52 in the next year.
 
  "There's no one else who has a product like Photoshop or  Dreamweaver on a standalone basis," said Pyykkonen, senior executive  director at San Francisco-based Global Crown Capital LLC. "You tie them  all together and there's no one approaching Adobe." In April, Adobe began  selling a new version of Creative Suite, a launch that executives billed as the  most significant in the company's 25-year history. The software package --  which includes well-known programs like Photoshop for photo editing and  Dreamweaver for Web design -- is popular with videographers, graphic designers  and artists in print, Web, mobile and film media.
 
  Creative Suite 3 includes features to further integrate  multimedia into Web sites and cell phones, a key strategy as Adobe tries to  expand from its core base of artists and designers. Already, its Flash player  software is used to display videos on Google Inc.'s YouTube, News Corp.'s  MySpace and other sites.
 
  Adobe offers six versions of the full suite, with suggested  retail prices from $1,599 to $2,499. Customers also may buy individual upgrades  on 13 standalone applications.
 
  The company is currently shipping versions of CS3 in French,  German and other languages besides English; together, they account for about  half the product's revenue.
