Company announces $200 million in cost savings target

CUPERTINO, Calif. — Jan. 24, 2007 — Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, ended Dec. 29, 2006. GAAP revenue for the quarter was $1.313 billion and non-GAAP revenue was $1.324 billion. Non-GAAP revenue grew 6 percent over the comparable period a year ago.

GAAP deferred revenue at the end of the December 2006 quarter was $2.46 billion. Non-GAAP deferred revenue at the end of the quarter reached $2.49 billion, growing 25 percent compared to the December 2005 quarter.

GAAP Results: GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter was $114 million, compared to $91 million for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share was $0.12 compared to $0.08 per share for the same quarter last year.

Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter was $248 million, compared to $282 million for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.26 in both periods. For a detailed reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results, please refer to the attached consolidated financial statements.

“With a disappointing quarter behind us, we are moving to better align our costs with our new revenue expectations,” said John W. Thompson, Symantec chairman and chief executive officer. “I am confident that we have the right strategy in place; however, we must sharpen our execution.”

Services represented 4 percent of total revenue and grew 8 percent year-over-year. The Security and Data Management business represented 39 percent of total revenue and grew 3 percent year-over-year. The Data Center Management business represented 26 percent of total revenue and declined 8 percent year-over-year.

International revenues represented 50 percent of total revenue in the third quarter and grew 7 percent year-over-year on a non-GAAP basis. The Asia Pacific/Japan revenue for the quarter represented 14 percent of total revenue and grew 11 percent year-over-year. The Americas, including the United States, Latin America, and Canada, represented 55 percent of total revenue and increased 5 percent year-over-year. The Europe, Middle East, and Africa region represented 31 percent of total revenue for the quarter and grew 5 percent year-over-year.

Cost-Saving Initiative

In order to align costs with new revenue expectations, Symantec plans to reduce its cost structure by $200 million. The company has identified a number of areas to achieve its target: reduce new hires; reduce contractor and consulting spending; reduce travel spending; consolidate additional facilities; and reduce the current workforce in certain business functions and geographies.

March Quarter and Fiscal Year 2007 Guidance

Symantec is reaffirming its revised guidance provided on Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2007. The impact of the cost saving initiative is expected to be modest in the March 2007 quarter and has been taken into account in the guidance.

For the March 2007 quarter, GAAP revenue is estimated between $1.24 billion and $1.27 billion. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the March quarter is estimated between $0.04 and $0.06. For the fiscal year ending March 2007, GAAP revenue is estimated in the range of $5.08 billion to $5.11 billion. GAAP diluted earnings per share is estimated between $0.36 and $0.39. It is possible, however, that there will be a restructuring charge related to the cost savings efforts that would affect GAAP earnings for the March 2007 quarter.

Non-GAAP revenue for the March 2007 quarter is estimated between $1.25 billion and $1.28 billion. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is estimated between $0.18 and $0.20. For the fiscal year ending March 2007, non-GAAP revenue is estimated in the range of $5.13 billion to $5.16 billion. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is estimated between $0.92 and $0.95.

Deferred revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.60 billion and $2.65 billion. Cash flow from operations is expected to be of the order of $1.5 billion.

Such risk factors include those related to: maintaining customer and partner relationships; the anticipated growth of certain market segments, particularly with regard to security and storage; the competitive environment in the software industry; changes to operating systems and product strategy by vendors of operating systems; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; the timing and market acceptance of new product releases and upgrades; the successful development of new products and integration of acquired businesses, and the degree to which these products and businesses gain market acceptance; and any potential effects of Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” which we will be required to adopt in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, on our results of operations and financial conditions.

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 www.symantec.com/invest/center.html.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in the table above are non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, which adjust for the following items: business combination accounting entries, expenses related to acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and charges related to the amortization of other intangible assets, and certain other items. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors, and such measures are used by our management, for the reasons associated with each of the adjusting items as described below.

(A) Fair value adjustment to Veritas deferred revenue. We include revenue associated with Veritas deferred revenue that was excluded as a result of purchase accounting adjustments to fair value because we believe they are reflective of ongoing operating results.

(B) Veritas’ net revenue. This amount represents Veritas’ net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We include Veritas’ net revenue because we believe it is useful in comparing the ongoing operating results of the combined company with pre-merger results of the two companies.

(C) Amortization of acquired product rights. The amounts recorded as amortization of acquired product rights arise from prior acquisitions and are non-cash in nature. We exclude these expenses because we believe they are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred and are not directly related to the operation of our business.

(D) Executive incentive bonuses. Consists of bonuses related to the Veritas acquisition and executive sign-on bonuses for newly hired executives. We exclude these amounts because they arise from prior acquisitions and other infrequent events and we believe they are not directly related to the operation of our business. For the three and nine months ended December 30, 2006 and 2005, executive incentive bonuses were allocated as follows:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2006		2005		2006		2005

General and administrative		—		772		600		2,297
Total executive incentive bonuses	$	897	$	2,179	$	3,954	$	5,231

(E) Stock-based compensation. Consists of expenses for employee stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan determined in accordance with APB 25 and SFAS 123(R) pre and post adoption of SFAS 123(R) on April 1, 2006, respectively. We exclude these stock-based compensation expenses because they are non-cash expenses that we believe are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Further, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the impact of the application of SFAS 123(R) to our results of operations. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

(F) Restructuring. These amounts arise from severance, benefits, outplacement services, and excess facilities resulting from our company restructurings and we believe they are not directly related to the operation of our business.

(G) Integration. Consists of expenses incurred for consulting services and other professional fees associated with the integration activities for our acquisition of Veritas. These expenses arose from a specific prior acquisition and we believe they are not directly related to the operation of our business. Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 did not include integration expenses. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005, integration expenses were allocated as follows:

Total integration expenses	$	2,185	$	—	$	2,185	$	15,339	$	11,677	$	27,016

(H) Amortization of other intangible assets. The amounts recorded as amortization of other intangible assets arise from prior acquisitions and are non-cash in nature. We exclude these expenses because we believe they are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred and not directly related to the operation of our business.

(I) Patent settlement. On May 12, 2005, we resolved the Altiris patent litigation matter with a cross-licensing agreement that resolved all legal claims between the companies. We exclude the amount of this settlement that was attributed to benefits in and prior to the period in which the settlement was reached because it arose from a specific litigation matter and we believe it is not directly related to the operation of our business.

(J) Gain on sale of strategic investments. We have equity investments in privately held companies for business and strategic purposes. We exclude the gain on sale of strategic investments because we believe it is not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred and is not directly related to the operation of our business.

(K) Proposed Veritas SEC legal settlement. Prior to our acquisition of Veritas, Veritas accrued a $30 million penalty based on settlement discussions with the SEC. We include this settlement because we include the Veritas net loss, per note O below, and we do not believe this settlement was directly related to the operation of Veritas’ business.

(L) Acquired in-process research and development. The amounts recorded as acquired in-process research and development arise from prior acquisitions and are non-cash in nature. We exclude these expenses because we believe they are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred and not directly related to the operation of our business.

(M) Gain on sale of assets. During the September 2006 quarter, we sold our Milpitas land and buildings for a gain. We exclude the gain on sale of the building because we believe it is not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred and is not directly related to the operation of our business.

(N) 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 operating income.

(O) Veritas net loss. This amount represents Veritas net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We include the Veritas net loss because we believe it is useful in comparing the ongoing operating results of the combined company with pre-merger results of the two companies.

*	We believe that providing a forecast of the non-GAAP items set forth above is useful to investors, and such items are used by our management, for the reasons associated with each of the adjusting items as described below.
(1)	Fair value adjustment to Veritas deferred revenue. We include revenue associated with Veritas deferred revenue that was excluded as a result of purchase accounting adjustments to fair value because we believe they are reflective of ongoing operating results.
(2)	Stock-based compensation, net of tax. Consists of expenses for employee stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan determined in accordance SFAS 123(R). We exclude these stock-based compensation expenses because they are non-cash expenses that we believe are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Further, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the impact of the application of SFAS 123(R) to our results of operations.
(3)	Amortization of acquired product rights and other intangible assets. The amounts recorded as amortization of acquired product rights and other intangible assets arise from prior acquisitions and are non-cash in nature. We exclude these expenses because we believe they are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred and not directly related to the operation of our business.
(4)	Fiscal 2007 also excludes amounts related to executive incentive bonuses, restructuring, and gain on sale of the Milpitas building, which net to an insignificant amount. We exclude these amounts because we believe they are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred and not directly related to the operation of our business.
