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.
