Use of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Information

3

Our results of operations have undergone significant change due to a series of acquisitions, the impact of stock-based compensation,

impairment charges and other corporate events, including the impact on revenue of the ongoing investigation into Symantec’s compliance with

certain provisions of its 2007 GSA contract. 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 can be found, along with other financial information, on the investor relations’ page of our website at www.symantec.com/invest.

15

Separation Operating Principles

16

• Our philosophy is to manage each business separately, to minimize disruption to our businesses, partners, customers, and employees, and to execute a well-managed separation

• We’ve established four operating principles:

– Deploying dedicated work streams to manage the separation

– Leaving our go-to-market capability largely intact for the remainder of this fiscal year

– Creating a process to separate contracts that pertain to both our information management and security products

We believe separating the contracts will not be problematic and intend to enter into intercompany agreements to address the ELAs

– To minimize costs, we are delaying the creation of a duplicative organizational structure until later in the separation process

Progress on the Separation

17

• Finalized the planning phase and advancing to the execution phase

• We are on track to complete the operational separation in October and legal separation by calendar year end

• Key Milestones:

– Selected “Veritas Technologies Corporation” as the name for the IM company and plan to relaunch the Veritas brand in a phased approach over the coming months

– Named key leaders, sales, and product personnel to both companies

– Veritas and Symantec sales organizations are on track to be operating independently in April

– Building an ERP solution for Veritas and well underway toward separating IT infrastructure

– Finalized major real estate decisions

– Progress in setting up the appropriate legal entities and corporate infrastructure to separate the companies

Capital Allocation Strategy

19

• Our long-term objective is to return approximately 50% of free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases

– Substantial cash flow generation

– About 34% of cash is held onshore

• Remain committed to returning cash to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks through the date of the separation

• Strong balance sheet and financial flexibility

– $2.1 billion in investment grade debt

• Allocate resources to growth areas such as advanced threat protection, backup appliances, mobile, cloud, information protection, and cyber security services

Making Progress and Building Momentum

20

• Separating our security and information management businesses has already begun to improve both our strategic focus and operational discipline

• We continue to execute on our five key priorities, especially managing our businesses as a portfolio

• Our Unified Security Strategy is based on three pillars: (1) provide a unified security global analytics platform that leverages our telemetry (2) simplify our security portfolio and deliver a newly developed, integrated ATP and Information Protection solution; (3) grow our cybersecurity service capabilities

• We are using Veritas’s leading capabilities to create a foundation for new information availability and insight technologies to help customers unlock the value of their data

• Shifting R&D investment to the fastest growth areas for our future which include ATP, Cyber Security Services, information protection, backup appliances, and mobile
