Figma, which allows customers to collaborate on software as they build it, saw demand jump during the pandemic while more people worked remotely.

The transaction is expected to be accretive to Adobe’s adjusted earnings per share at the end of the third year. Adobe expects the cash consideration to be financed through cash on hand and, if necessary, a term loan. The company is expected to add about $200 million in net new annual recurring revenue this year, surpassing $400 million in total annual recurring revenue by the end of 2022, with a net dollar retention of greater than 150%, Adobe said in an investor presentation. Adobe, which had been a Wall Street favorite for more than a decade, has been pummeled in the tech downturn, seeing its shares lose more than a third of their value since the start of the year. After closing, Field will continue to lead the Figma team, reporting to David Wadhwani, president of Adobe’s digital media business. The company was valued at $10 billion in its last funding round a year ago.
