Universal Music Group announced a new licensing arrangement with Adobe on November 3, adding music from UMG to Adobe Premiere Mobile. The company presented the agreement as a way to help creators find music for mobile video projects, according to Universal Music Group.

Licensing expands beyond streaming

The Adobe arrangement gives UMG another distribution channel for its catalog and places its music inside a mobile creation workflow. For investors, the agreement adds a concrete licensing development to the company's broader strategy of monetizing music across streaming, social and creator platforms.

The announcement follows UMG's third-quarter results published on October 29. Subscription growth accelerated during the quarter, while physical sales and the integration of Downtown supported reported expansion. The latest results also showed stronger underlying profitability in Recorded Music, although Music Publishing and Merchandising were softer.
