CLAIM #3986 · Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) · 2022Q1 earnings call · Mar 22, 2022 · due Dec 2, 2022
“And so when I net all of that out on a go-forward basis, you have got about an $0.08 per share headwind in each quarter.”
Dan Durn · CFO
How to check this claim
Look at: Non-GAAP EPS impact per quarter (Q2-Q4) versus prior guidance baseline (FA Day expectations), as a net headwind from revenue reduction, tax rate change, and share repurchase benefit
It came true if: Net EPS headwind approximately $0.08 per share per quarter (Q2-Q4), allowing +/- $0.02 variance
Where: Company earnings call commentary and non-GAAP EPS reconciliation in quarterly earnings releases (Q2, Q3, Q4 FY2022)
In context
“his. So, that’s what you see in the $87 million reduction in ARR as well as the $75 million reduction from a revenue standpoint, Q2 through Q4. So, if I take that revenue and I flow it through the P&L, that’s going to be about a $0.04 a share headwind per quarter for the balance of the year, Q2 through Q4. From a tax standpoint, we talked about an 18.5% non-GAAP tax rate. That’s a 1.5 point change versus where we were at FA Day. If I were to roll that through the P&L, that’s about $0.06 a share per quarter throughout the year. We were able to overcome that in Q1.

And so when I net all of that out on a go-forward basis, you have got about an $0.08 per share headwind in each quarter. And again, like we said in Q1, we were able to overcome that headwind in Q1 and deliver above the expectations that we had set, and we are going to continue to orient towards growth. We are going to invest to lead, but if there is opportunities to do it in a disciplined way and overcome it on a go-forward basis, we will take it a quarter at a time and let you know what we see. Kash Rangan: Thank you, Dan. And Shantanu, just one final follow-up, the clear – I know that you want to talk about the Document Cloud and the Experience Cloud, but I remember fall of 2011, you have made a very bold transition to Creative Cloud subscription.
