Symantec To Acquire Altiris


2
Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial and
business results of Symantec and Altiris, including statements of expectations
regarding consummation of the merger, projected growth for computing devices,
benefits to Symantec from combining the Altiris
and Symantec businesses
and
cost savings opportunities for the combined company.  Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause each company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to differ materially from results expressed in or implied by this
presentation, including, among others: whether the companies can
successfully
develop new products and the degree to which these gain market acceptance;
the sustainability of recent growth rates, particularly in consumer products; the
anticipation of the growth of certain market segments; the positioning of the
companies’
products in those segments; the competitive environment in the
software industry; general market conditions; acquisition-related risks, particularly
risks relating to integrating the two companies; fluctuations in
currency exchange
rates; and changes to operating systems and product strategy by vendors of
operating systems.
Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in the
Risk Factors sections of Symantec’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2006, and in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 29, 2006, and of
Altiris’s
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and its Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, each filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in
this presentation.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally
accepted
accounting
principles,
or
GAAP,
Symantec
and
Altiris
report
non-GAAP financial results. 
Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP
financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which can be found
in the exhibits at the end of this presentation and on the investor relations
websites of Symantec and Altiris.
Symantec’s non-GAAP information excludes amortization of all
acquisition-related intangibles, restructuring charges and certain stock-
based compensation expenses. In addition, Symantec’s combined non-
GAAP financial results include the historical results for Symantec and
Veritas for comparative fiscal periods, deferred revenue that has been
eliminated from Symantec’s GAAP results as part of the purchase
accounting for the acquisition of Veritas, and adjustments related to the
fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the
acquisition, and exclude certain non-GAAP expenses, net of tax.
Altiris
non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquired core
technology, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and
stock-based compensation expenses, net of tax.

Symantec Statement of Operations Reconciliation Footnotes

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) 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.

(C) 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. Executive incentive bonuses were allocated as follows:

(in thousands)

Sales and marketing $ 1,850     Research and development 3,268     General and administrative 4,077

Total executive incentive bonuses $ 9,195

(D) 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. Stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

(in thousands)     Cost of revenues $ 12,983     Sales and marketing 47,773     Research and development 48,778     General and administrative 18,712     Total stock-based compensation expenses $ 128,246

(E) 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.

(F) 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 nine months ended December 31, 2006 did not include integration expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 integration expenses were allocated to General and administrative expense.

(G) 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.

(H) 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.

(I) 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.

(J) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustment items. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP adjustments on non-GAAP operating income.
