Adobe has reported record revenue of $990.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as compared to $697.5 million for the same quarter during fiscal 2009 and $943 million in the immediately preceeding second quarter. Marking a 42 percent year-over-year revenue growth, it is well above the company's intended target of $950 million to $1 billion for the third quarter. Company CEO Shantanu Narayen attributed the revenue to strong business performance in each of the company's major businesses.

Operating income was $302 million and net income was $230.1 million. For the upcoming fourth quarter, Adobe said it is again aiming for revenues of $950 million to $1 billion, with an operating margin targeted to be 27 percent to 30 percent.
