The company reported the revenue in Q2 FY2012 of $1.124 billion, which represents 10 percent year-over-year growth. The Diluted earnings per share were $0.45 on a GAAP-basis, and $0.60 on a non-GAAP basis.
Operating income was $305.1 million and net income was $223.9 million on a GAAP-basis. Operating income was $404.4 million and net income was $299.6 million on a non-GAAP basis. Deferred revenue grew by $43.9 million quarter-over-quarter to a total of $592.8 million. Cash flow from operations was $448.2 million.
“Our strong Q2 results were driven by the successful launch of Creative Cloud and Creative Suite 6, strong Acrobat revenue and 35 percent year-over-year revenue growth in our Digital Marketing Suite business,” said Shantanu Narayen, president and CEO of Adobe. “These results demonstrate our leadership in the Digital Media and Digital Marketing markets.”
