Forward-looking Statement
This annual report contains forward-looking statements, including forecasts of future revenue and earnings, expected activities, and other financial and business results that involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from results expressed
or implied by this annual report. Such risk factors include, among others: the sustainability of recent growth rates, particularly in consumer products; the anticipation of the growth of
certain market segments, particularly enterprise security; the positioning of Symantec’s products in those segments; the competitive environment in the software industry; general market
conditions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, changes to operating systems and product strategy by vendors of operating systems; and whether Symantec can successfully develop
new products and the degree to which these gain market acceptance. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements in this annual report.
Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in the Risk Factors sections of Symantec’s previously filed Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 2003.
Symantec assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in this annual report except as otherwise required by law.
