What is the primary driver of Adobe's revenue growth in this quarter?

The primary driver of Adobe's revenue growth in this quarter is the acquisition of Macromedia, which was completed in December 2005. The integration of Macromedia's products and services contributed significantly to the overall revenue increase.

How has the adoption of SFAS 123R impacted Adobe's financial results?

The adoption of SFAS 123R, requiring companies to account for stock-based compensation at fair value, led to an increase in reported expenses for stock-based compensation. This contributed to higher operating expenses and a decrease in net income compared to the prior year's period when a different accounting method was used.

What is the nature of the restructuring charges mentioned in the report?

The restructuring charges are related to a plan initiated to eliminate duplicative activities, focus resources on growth opportunities, and reduce the cost structure following the Macromedia acquisition. These charges include employee termination benefits, costs for closing redundant facilities, and cancellation of certain contracts.

How is Adobe managing its liquidity and capital resources post-acquisition?

Adobe maintains a strong liquidity position with $2.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The company expects its current cash reserves and anticipated cash flows from operations to be sufficient to meet its working capital and operating expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. They also continue to manage stock repurchases.
