ADBE Cloud & Enterprise Software 3/10 Low Risk

3/10

— 2 → 3 over 22 weeks

Sector avg: 1.7/10

Adobe carries $4.8B in long-term debt, with $850M in scheduled principal maturities. Near-term pressure is acute: $850M (100% of all maturities) comes due within 24 months. ADBE shows a strong cash position ($4.9B) that could cover most of its debt obligations. DebtCanary scores ADBE at 3/10, suggesting manageable refinancing risk.

Maturity Schedule

As of 2026-02-27 (latest SEC filing with maturity data). Debt actions taken after this date will only appear once SEC processes the relevant XBRL filing.

Period	Amount Due	% of Total
Year 1 (0-12 months)	$850M	100.0%
Year 2 (12-24 months)	N/A	N/A
Year 3 (24-36 months)	N/A	N/A
Year 4 (36-48 months)	N/A	N/A
Year 5 (48-60 months)	N/A	N/A
Beyond 5 Years	N/A	N/A
Total Scheduled Maturities	$850M	100.0%

Why don't these totals match? Total scheduled maturities ($850M) falls short of balance-sheet long-term debt ($4.8B) by about 82%. The two figures come from different disclosures: the maturity schedule aggregates gross principal repayments from the debt footnote — typically including the current portion of long-term debt and sometimes finance leases — while balance-sheet long-term debt is a carrying value that excludes the current portion and is net of unamortized discounts, premiums, and issuance costs. They can also come from filings with different period-end dates (2026-02-27 vs 2026-05-29). Both numbers are shown exactly as reported to the SEC.

Refinancing Cost Shock

If Adobe refinanced the $850M due within 24 months at today's market yields, its annual interest bill would change by an estimated +$31M/year — about 0.4% of operating income.

Show the full calculation

Debt due within 24 months (Year 1 + Year 2 buckets): $850M

Current average rate = interest expense / interest-bearing debt = $113M / $6.6B = 1.70%

Synthetic rating bucket from coverage (EBITDA/interest 84.3x, operating income/interest 77.0x): AAA

Market yield for AAA bucket (ICE BofA via FRED, 2026-07-23): 5.33% (BAMLC0A1CAAAEY)

Rate change: 5.33% − 1.70% = +3.63 pp

Annual cost change: +3.63% × $850M = +$31M/yr

As share of operating income ($8.7B): 0.4%

Index-level estimate, not issuer-level bond pricing: the rating bucket is inferred from interest coverage (not an agency rating), and actual new-issue pricing depends on tenor, security, and market conditions. See the methodology.
