2. Forward Looking Statements
2
This presentation contains statements regarding the pending sale of our information management business to The Carlyle Group,
which may be considered forward-looking within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, including statements regarding the
expected benefits to be realized as a result of the sale; statements with respect to our anticipated proceeds from the sale and our
expected use of such proceeds; statements regarding the growth prospects of our security business; statements with respect to our
continuation of our current dividend; product development plans; and statements with respect to the proposed timing of the closing
of the sale. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual
results, performance or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied in this press release. Such risk factors
include those related to: receiving all regulatory approvals, satisfying all closing conditions and consummating the pending
transaction; separation of the company into the security business and the information management business; general economic
conditions; maintaining customer and partner relationships; fluctuations in tax rates and currency exchange rates; the timing and
market acceptance of new product releases and upgrades; the successful development of new products, and the degree to which
these products and businesses gain market acceptance. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-
looking statements in this press release. We assume no obligation, and do not intend, to update these forward-looking statements as
a result of future events or developments. Additional information concerning these and other risks factors is contained in the Risk
Factors section of our Form 10-K for the year ended April 3, 2015.

evaluation by Symantec and therefore subject to change. This information is provided without warranty of any kind, express or
implied. Customers who purchase Symantec offerings should make their purchase decision based upon features that are currently
available.
We assume no obligation to update any forward‐looking information contained in this presentation.

3. Use of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Information
3
Our results of operations have undergone significant change due to the impact of litigation accruals, stock-based compensation,
restructuring, transition and separation matters, charges related to the amortization of intangible assets, and certain other income
and expense items that management considers unrelated to the Company’s core operations. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures are
supplemental, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should be
read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as when
planning, forecasting and analyzing 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 website at: www.symantec.com/invest.
