Admittedly, though, the year was not without its challenges. The tough headwinds of strengthening currencies around the world, an evolving threat environment, and our own business plan execution missteps were just some of the issues we faced during the course of the year. When our stockholders voted overwhelmingly in June 2005 to approve Symantec’s merger with Veritas in June 2005, the size, scope, and reach of our company changed dramatically. We instantly became the market leader in storage and backup software, otherwise known as availability, which complements our market leadership in enterprise and consumer security. Equally important, through the merger we have realized our goal of providing a more complete solution for customers who want to better protect their digital assets and their online experiences. We have seen this market need developing for several years now, and we have taken steps to build or acquire key technologies to meet that need. Combining two large and complex companies is a tremendous undertaking, and thousands of man hours have gone into the planning and implementation process. That hard work is paying off, and today our company is well positioned for the changing competitive landscape in the overall software industry. Together, we are now One Company, One Team working to help our customers protect their digital assets and IT infrastructure. THE NEW SYMANTEC So, who is the “new” Symantec? We are the recognized leader in several key industry segments, including storage management, backup and recovery software, secure content management, and consumer security, to name just a few. Our software protects more than 370 million computers or email accounts worldwide, and 99 % of the Fortune 1000 uti- lize Symantec products. We believe we have one of the strongest and deepest portfolios of intellectual property in our industry. And our nearly 16,000 employees around the world are complemented by one of the most extensive networks of partners in the industry. This strong organization is backed by our unique Global Intelligence Network, which gath- ers data on emerging threats and new sources of risk from more than 24,000 sensors in 180 countries worldwide. Our network tracks vulnerabilities in more than 30,000 technologies, operating systems, and application product versions from more than 4,000 vendors. And we see more than 25 percent of the world’s email. In short, we believe our insight and intelligence around the connected world is unsurpassed. SYMANTEC ANNUAL REPORT 2006 1 FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENT We achieved record fi nancial results in fi scal 2006, albeit, slightly below our initial expecta- tions. Our non-GAAP revenue ¹ grew 8 % to $ 5.0 billion, while non-GAAP earnings per share ¹ grew 16 % to $ 1.00. Our non-GAAP deferred revenue ¹ grew 18 % to over $ 2.2 billion. In addition, we generated $ 1.6 billion in pro forma combined cash fl ow from operating activities ². We ended the year with $ 2.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The board and I believe that repurchasing stock is an excellent way to enhance shareholder value, and during fi scal 2006 we invested approximately $ 3.6 billion buying back nearly 175 million shares of our common stock. In January the board authorized an additional $ 1 billion of stock repurchases. And, in June the board authorized another $ 1.5 billion. INNOVATION: DRIVING GROWTH Symantec has always grown by combining strategic acquisitions with strong internal technology and product development. In fi scal 2006 we executed on this strategy again and completed six acquisitions in addition to completing our merger with Veritas. And our R&D teams generated more than 100 new products and services across all of our categories, while our consumer products group shipped nearly 23 million boxes around the world. To ensure that we continue to offer industry-leading products and services, we intend to invest approximately 15 percent of annual gross revenue into R&D — protecting our customers from tomorrow’s challenges and enabling them to take advantage of tomorrow’s opportunities. In addition, as we have for the past several years, we will look to augment our R&D efforts by acquiring leading technologies in adjacent markets. ESTABLISHING AND LEVERAGING A STRONG MARKET POSITION Enterprises need to keep their infrastructure up and running 24 × 7 × 365. They need to enable access to information anytime, anywhere. That means that critical business systems must be up and running all the time. It starts with the basics of protection. Sustaining the continuous availability of information, systems, and applications requires businesses to protect their entire data center infrastructure — from client to storage to servers. Symantec pioneered the idea of protection. We are the leader in creating and deploying new data security and availability technologies. Currently, we have numerous development projects underway that we believe will extend that leadership position, particularly in the enterprise market. 1 Non-GAAP results are As we pursue these projects, we will focus on the critical areas of message management, reconciled to GAAP results IT policy compliance, and endpoint compliance. Messaging systems, such as email, are on the inside front cover. fundamental to business operations, and managing the messaging environment requires 2 Pro forma combined cash fl ow from operating real-time protection at all layers of the infrastructure.

We know that in order for these products to remain suc- cessful we must continually innovate by adding new features and functionality. This year we plan to launch several new enterprise products including new versions of Veritas Storage Foundation™, CommandCentral™ and NetBackup™. ANTICIPATING MARKET NEED We believe the moves we have made in the market are instrumental in our keeping pace with the rapidly changing environment. The security threat landscape evolves with each passing year and last year was no exception. The main threat to information today isn’t necessarily a large-scale, fast-moving virus or worm.
