Maybe be taxes. I assume Adobe is pumping Australian revenue to its Ireland unit while the US revenue goes through the main company. Maximize revenue overseas since the profit is taxed at a lower rate effective rate. Just a guess. "The revenues generated by Adobe’s Irish unit represent 55 per cent of Adobe’s worldwide revenues of $4.2 billion in the year to the end of December 2nd 2011" http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2012/1012/1224325187166.html http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2012/1012/122432...
