Adobe (ADBE.O), a company that manufactures Photoshop, announced on Wednesday that it was anticipating annual and quarterly income lower than projections and was facing regulatory scrutiny over its subscription models. This caused the company’s shares to drop by more than 5% in after-hours trading.

The firm, headquartered in San Jose, California, stated in a regulatory filing that it has collaborated with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) since June 2022. This cooperation is in response to a civil investigation demand that seeks information regarding the company’s disclosure and cancellation processes for subscriptions.

Adobe is now conducting conversations with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). “In November 2023, the FTC staff asserted that they had the authority to enter into consent negotiations to determine if a settlement regarding their investigation of these issues could be reached,” Adobe said.

The business went on to say that this situation may result in significant monetary expenses or penalties, and it might also significantly impact the company’s operations and financial performance.

Adobe’s acquisition of the cloud-based designer platform Figma for a price of twenty billion dollars has also been investigated by the competition authorities in Britain.

The corporation said on Wednesday that the European Commission has filed a preliminary statement of objections and that the Competition and Markets Authority has issued provisional findings of competition concerns. Both of these developments happened simultaneously.

“We strongly disagree with these findings and are responding to the respective regulators,” stated Adobe spokespersons. The corporation anticipates the current quarter will bring in revenue between $5.10 billion and $5.15 billion. Based on LSEG’s data, analysts had an average expectation of $5.19 billion.

The company believed that its sales for the fiscal year 2024 would fall somewhere in the region of $21.30 billion to $21.50 billion, which was similarly lower than the predictions.

Both individuals and businesses have reduced their expenditures in response to the persistent inflation and rising interest rates they are experiencing. The corporation increased the pricing of certain products beginning in November, further hampering demand.

The business posted an adjusted profit of $4.27 per share for the fourth quarter, which was higher than the $4.14 per share that was anticipated. Its income for the three months ending on December 1 was somewhat more than anticipated.
