Where Adobe's profits come from...

Quote:
US software company Adobe Systems has reported a 41% jump in second-quarter profit thanks to robust demand from international markets.

However, the maker of Photoshop, Flash and Acrobat issued a revenue outlook that disappointed some investors, sending its shares down 2.5%.

Adobe's net income in the three months to May 30 was $214.9m (£109m), up from $152m in the same quarter a year ago.

The company added that sales were flat in the US.
So now it's official - Adobe's profits come from customers outside the US, which is why they charge us the same in £££ as people across the Pond pay in $$$.

Re: Where Adobe's profits come from...

It may also have something to do with the fact that there are 300 million people in the US compared with a few billion in 'rest of the world'.

Gotta assume that the international TOG market is a bit bigger than the domestic US one.
