FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The discussion following below and throughout this annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-
looking statements, which are subject to safe harbors under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The words ""expects,'' ""plans,'' ""anticipates,'' ""believes,'' ""estimates,'' ""predicts,''
""projects,'' and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, statements that refer to
projections of our future financial performance, anticipated growth and trends in our businesses and in our
industries, the impact of our acquisition of Veritas Software Corporation and other acquisitions, and other
characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These statements are only
predictions, based on our current expectations about future events and may not prove to be accurate. We do
not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events occurring or
circumstances arising after the date of this annual report. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, and our actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements on the basis of several factors, including those that we
discuss under Item 1A, Risk Factors, beginning on page 16. We encourage you to read that section carefully.
