Executive Quotes
We beat our Creative Cloud subscription goals and established Adobe Marketing Cloud as the leader in the exploding category of Digital Marketing during fiscal 2012, said Shantanu Narayen, president and chief executive officer, Adobe. In fiscal 2013 we intend to accelerate our pace of innovation, and drive integration between Creative Cloud and Adobe Marketing Cloud.
Were driving migration to a subscription model in our Creative business faster than we predicted a year ago, and we are confident fiscal 2013 will be the pivotal year for the transition, said Mark Garrett, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Adobe. This will yield a stronger, more predictable recurring revenue model with higher long-term revenue growth.

Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including those related to the transition of our business as we migrate to a subscription model, increases in recurring revenue, long-term revenue growth and our ability to continue to innovate and execute against our strategy in our key growth areas and drive integration between those areas, which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: failure to develop, market and distribute products and services that meet customer requirements, introduction of new products and business models by competitors, failure to successfully manage transitions to new business models and markets, including our increased emphasis on a cloud and subscription strategy, fluctuations in subscription renewal or upgrade rates, continued uncertainty in economic conditions and the financial markets, difficulty in predicting revenue from new businesses and the potential impact on our financial results from changes in our business models, and failure to realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions.
For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, please refer to Adobe's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 2, 2011 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 2, 2012, June 1, 2012 and Aug. 31, 2012.
