USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION: Our results of operations have
undergone significant change due to a series of acquisitions, the
impact of SFAS 123(R) and other corporate events. To help our
readers understand our past financial performance and our future
results, we supplement the financial results that we provide in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP,
with non-GAAP financial measures. The method we use to produce
non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP and may differ
from the methods used by other companies. Our non-GAAP results are
not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP
financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our
business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are
among the primary factors management uses in planning for and
forecasting future periods. Investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable
GAAP results, which is attached to our quarterly earnings release and
which can be found, along with other financial information, on the
investor relations page of our Web site at

The non-GAAP financial measures included in the tables above are
non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per
share, which adjust for the following items: business combination
accounting entries, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring
charges, charges related to the amortization of intangible assets,
litigation settlements, write-downs of assets and certain other
items. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial
measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial
measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the
Company's operating performance for the reasons discussed below. Our
management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the
Company's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting
and analyzing future periods. We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company's
performance to prior periods and to our peers and that investors
benefit from an understanding of these non-GAAP financial measures.
(1) Fair value adjustment to deferred revenue. We have completed
numerous business combinations and acquisitions for a variety of
strategic purposes over the past several years. As is the case with
our existing business, at the time of acquisition, these acquired
businesses recorded deferred revenue related to past transactions for
which revenue would be recognized in future periods as revenue
recognition criteria are satisfied. The purchase accounting entries
for these acquisitions require us to write down a portion of this
deferred revenue to its then current fair value. Consequently, in
post acquisition periods, we do not recognize the full amount of this
deferred revenue. When measuring the performance of our business,
however, we add back non-GAAP revenue associated with certain types
of deferred revenue that were excluded as a result of these purchase
accounting adjustments, as we believe that this provides information
about the operating impact of the acquired businesses in a manner
consistent with the revenue recognition for our pre-existing products
and services. We believe that the inclusion of this revenue provides
useful information to our management as well as to investors.
(2) Stock-based compensation. Consists of expenses for employee
stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and our
employee stock purchase plan determined in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards Number 123(R), or SFAS 123(R). When
evaluating the performance of our individual business units and
developing short and long term plans, we do not consider stock-based
compensation charges. Our management team is held accountable for
cash-based compensation, but we believe that management is limited in
its ability to project the impact of stock-based compensation and
accordingly is not held accountable for its impact on our operating
results. Although stock-based compensation is necessary to attract
and retain quality employees, our consideration of stock based
compensation places its primary emphasis on overall shareholder
dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such
grants. In addition, for comparability purposes, we believe it is
useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes
stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term
performance of our core business and to facilitate the comparison of
our results to the results of our peer companies. Furthermore,
unlike cash compensation, the value of stock-based compensation is
determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as
market volatility, that are beyond our control. Further, we believe
it is useful to investors to understand the impact of SFAS 123(R) to
our results of operations. For the three months and twelve months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, stock-based compensation
was allocated as follows:
Three Months Ended Year Ended

2008 2007 2008 2007
--------- --------- --------- ---------
Cost of revenues $ 3,960 $ 3,454 $ 16,734 $ 16,437
Sales and marketing 15,748 12,084 58,181 55,855

--------- --------- --------- ---------
Total stock based compensation $ 42,542 $ 35,093 $ 163,695 $ 153,840
========= ========= ========= =========
(3) Amortization of acquired product rights and other intangible
assets. When conducting internal development of intangible assets,
accounting rules require that we expense the costs as incurred. In
the case of acquired businesses, however, we are required to allocate
a portion of the purchase price to the accounting value assigned to
intangible assets acquired and amortize this amount over the
estimated useful lives of the acquired intangibles. The acquired
company, in most cases, has itself previously expensed the costs
incurred to develop the acquired intangible assets, and the purchase
price allocated to these assets is not necessarily reflective of the
cost we would incur in developing the intangible asset. We
eliminate this amortization charge from our non-GAAP operating
results to provide better comparability of pre and post-acquisition
operating results and comparability to results of businesses
utilizing internally developed intangible assets.
(4) Restructuring. We have engaged in various restructuring
activities over the past several years that have resulted in costs
associated with severance, benefits, outplacement services, and
excess facilities. Each restructuring has been a discrete event
based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and
each has differed from the others in terms of its operational
implementation, business impact and scope. We do not engage in
restructuring activities in the ordinary course of business. While
our operations previously benefited from the employees and facilities
covered by our various restructuring charges, these employees and
facilities have benefited different parts of our business in
different ways, and the amount of these charges has varied
significantly from period to period. We believe that it is important
to understand these charges; however, we do not believe that these
charges are indicative of future operating results and that investors
benefit from an understanding of our operating results without giving
effect to them.
(5) Write-down of assets. During the December 2007 quarter, we
recorded a $1.2 million write-down on a facility classified as held
for sale.
(6) Loss on sale of assets. During the September 2007 quarter,
management determined that certain tangible and intangible assets and
liabilities of the Storage and Server Management segment (formally
the Data Center Management segment) did not meet the long term
strategic objectives of the segment, and we recorded a write-down of
$87 million to value these assets and liabilities at the respective
estimated fair value. We adjusted this amount to $93 million in the
December 2007 quarter and to $95 million in the March 2008 quarter.
On March 8, 2008 these assets were sold to a third party.
(7) Executive incentive bonuses. We have excluded bonuses related to
acquisitions and executive sign-on bonuses for newly hired
executives. We expect the benefit from these hires and retentions to
extend over an indeterminate future period, but under GAAP we are
required to expense the entire cost of the bonus in the period paid.
We exclude these amounts to provide better comparability of the
periods that include and do not include these charges. We believe
that investors benefit from an understanding of our operating results
for the periods presented without giving effect to these charges.
(8) Integration. These charges consist of expenses incurred for
consulting services and other professional fees associated with
integration activities of acquisitions. Because these expenses are
non-recurring and unique to specific acquisitions, we believe they
are not indicative of future operating results and that investors
benefit from an understanding of our operating results without giving
effect to them.
(9) Gain on sale of assets. We exclude these gains because each is a
unique one-time occurrence that is not closely related to, or a
function of, our ongoing operations.
(10) Settlements of litigation. This gain represents the net effect
of a charge incurred from our settlements of litigation that was
pending against Veritas when we acquired it in July 2005 and a gain
from our settlement of certain intellectual property-related matters.
We exclude the impact of these settlements because we do not
consider the defense and prosecution of these pieces of litigation to
be part of the ongoing operation of our business and because of the
singular nature of the claims underlying each matter.
(11) Income tax effect on above items. This amount adjusts the
provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP
adjustments on non-GAAP net income.

We include certain non-GAAP revenue and deferred revenue
components in the tracking and forecasting of our revenue and
management of our business. This includes non-GAAP revenue associated
with deferred revenue that was excluded as a result of purchase
accounting adjustments related to acquisitions. We believe the
non-GAAP revenue measures set forth above are useful to investors,
and such items are used by our management, because this revenue is
reflective of our ongoing operating results.
(1) We have completed numerous business combinations and acquisitions
for a variety of strategic purposes over the past several years. As
is the case with our existing business, at the time of acquisition,
acquired business had recorded deferred revenue related to past
transactions for which revenue would be recognized in future periods
as revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. The purchase
accounting entries for these acquisitions require us to write down a
portion of this deferred revenue to its then current fair value.
Consequently, in post acquisition periods, we do not recognize the
full amount of this deferred revenue. When measuring the performance
of our business, however, we add back non-GAAP revenue associated
with certain types of deferred revenue that were excluded as a result
of these purchase accounting adjustments, as we believe that this
provides information about the operating impact of the acquired
businesses in a manner consistent with the revenue recognition for our
for our pre-existing products and services. We believe that the
inclusion of this revenue provides useful information to our
management as well as to investors.
(2) During the March 2008 quarter, we modified the segment reporting
structure to more readily match business operational changes as a
result of the January 2008 promotion of Enrique Salem to Chief
Operating Officer of Symantec. The following changes have been made
to our segment reporting structure: (i) the Security and Data
Management Group is now known as the Security and Compliance Group;
(ii) the Altiris segment, in its entirety, has been moved into the
Security and Compliance Group; (iii) the Data Center Management Group
is now known as the Storage and Server Management Group; and (iv) we
have moved the Backup Exec products to the Storage and Server
Management Group from the Security and Data Management Group. There
were no changes to the Consumer, Services, or Other segments. The
new business structure more directly aligns the operating segments
with markets and customers, and we believe will establish more direct
lines of reporting responsibilities, speed decision making, and
enhance the ability to pursue strategic growth opportunities. Data
shown from the prior periods have been reclassified to match the
current reporting structure.
(3) Other includes product lines nearing the end of their life cycle.
See Item 15, Footnote 15 in our March 2007 10-K.

We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures,
when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures,
provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's
operating performance by excluding certain items that may not be
indicative of the Company's core business, operating results or
future outlook. Our management uses, and believes that investors
benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in
assessing the Company's operating results both as a consolidated
entity and at the business unit level, as well as when planning,
forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe that these
non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the
Company's performance to prior periods and to our peers. These
measures are used by our management for the reasons associated with
each of the adjusting items as described below.
(1) Fair value adjustment to deferred revenue. We have completed
numerous business combinations and acquisitions for a variety of
strategic purposes over the past several years. As is the case with
our existing business, at the time of acquisition, these acquired
businesses recorded deferred revenue related to past transactions for
which revenue would be recognized in future periods as revenue
recognition criteria are satisfied. The purchase accounting entries
for these acquisitions require us to write down a portion of this
deferred revenue to its then current fair value. Consequently, in
post acquisition periods, we do not recognize the full amount of this
deferred revenue. When measuring the performance of our business,
however, we add back non-GAAP revenue associated with certain types
of deferred revenue that were excluded as a result of these purchase
accounting adjustments, as we believe that this provides information
about the operating impact of the acquired businesses in a manner
consistent with the revenue recognition for our pre-existing products
and services. We believe that the inclusion of this revenue and
deferred revenue provides useful information to our management as
well as to investors.
(2) Stock-based compensation. Consists of expenses for employee
stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and our
employee stock purchase plan determined in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards Number 123(R), or SFAS 123(R). When
evaluating the performance of our individual business units and
developing short and long term plans, we do not consider stock-based
compensation charges. Our management team is held accountable for
cash-based compensation, but we believe that management is limited in
its ability to project the impact of stock-based compensation and
accordingly is not held accountable for its impact on our operating
results. Although stock-based compensation is necessary to attract
and retain quality employees, our consideration of stock based
compensation places its primary emphasis on overall shareholder
dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such
grants. In addition, for comparability purposes, we believe it is
useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes
stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term
performance of our core business and to facilitate the comparison of
our results to the results of our peer companies. Furthermore,
unlike cash compensation, the value of stock-based compensation is
determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as
market volatility, that are beyond our control. Further, we believe
it is useful to investors to understand the impact of SFAS 123(R) to
our results of operations.
(3) Amortization of acquired product rights and other intangible
assets. When conducting internal development of intangible assets,
accounting rules require that we expense the costs as incurred. In
the case of acquired businesses, however, we are required to allocate
a portion of the purchase price to the accounting value assigned to
intangible assets acquired and amortize this amount over the
estimated useful lives of the acquired intangibles. The acquired
company, in most cases, has itself previously expensed the costs
incurred to develop the acquired intangible assets, and the purchase
price allocated to these assets is not necessarily reflective of the
cost we would incur in developing the intangible asset. We
eliminate this amortization charge from our non-GAAP operating
results to provide better comparability of pre and post-acquisition
operating results and comparability to results of businesses
utilizing internally developed intangible assets.
(4) Restructuring. We have engaged in various restructuring
activities over the past several years that have resulted in costs
associated with severance, benefits, outplacement services, and
excess facilities. Each restructuring has been a discrete event
based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and
each has differed from the others in terms of its operational
implementation, business impact and scope. We do not engage in
restructuring activities in the ordinary course of business. While
our operations previously benefited from the employees and facilities
covered by our various restructuring charges, these employees and
facilities have benefited different parts of our business in
different ways, and the amount of these charges has varied
significantly from period to period. We believe that it is important
to understand these charges; however, we do not believe that these
charges are indicative of future operating results and that investors
benefit from an understanding of our operating results without giving
effect to them.
