Financial Targets

We measure ARR on a constant currency basis during the fiscal year and revalue ending ARR at year-end. Foreign exchange rate changes between the end of fiscal year 2023 and the end of fiscal year 2024 have resulted in a $117 million decrease to the Digital Media ARR balance entering fiscal year 2025, from $17.33 billion to $17.22 billion and is reflected in our investor data sheet. We expect an approximate $200 million headwind to fiscal year 2025 revenue, as a result of the effect of foreign exchange and a smaller impact of the continued move to subscriptions from perpetual offerings.

The following table summarizes Adobe’s fiscal year 2025 targets1:

Total revenue

$23.30 billion to $23.55 billion

   

Digital Media segment revenue

$17.25 billion to $17.40 billion

   

Digital Media ending ARR growth
