DLP for Amazon Web Services. And in June 2015, we released DLP 14, which will help us realize our
vision of protecting data regardless of where the data resides – on premise, in transit or in the cloud.
• In cybersecurity services, our broad service offerings cover the full attack lifecycle before, during,
and after a breach. Our focused Incident Response service has engaged more than 120 customers
within a year of its launch. We expanded both the breadth and depth of our services by launching
new Incident Response Retainer and Simulation services. In the June 2015 quarter, we introduced
our CyberOne offering, which combines our Intelligence, Monitoring, and Incident Response services
into a single comprehensive offering.
DEMONSTRATING OUR COMMITMENT TO CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
In fiscal 2015, our Corporate Responsibility program focused on diversity and inclusion,
community investments, environmental performance, and the sustainability of our supply chain. We
developed a multifaceted approach to increase and measure diversity, resulting in a 4% gain in overall
workforce diversity. Our community investments included cash contributions of $5.4 million and software
program donations worth $25 million to over 25,000 organizations in 38 countries. Employees
volunteered nearly 30,000 hours and Symantec gave over $600,000 in employee matching grants. With
the Symantec Foundation, we also launched the Symantec Cyber Career Connection to provide
cybersecurity training and career opportunities for underserved young adults while helping to address the
global workforce gap and meet the critical needs of our customers. On the environmental front, we
reduced our greenhouse gas emissions from business travel by 36%, while we held emissions related to
other energy use constant as compared to the previous year. Lastly, we continued our investigation into
the chain of custody and source of minerals we use in our products to verify they are “conflict-free”.
UNLOCKING SHAREHOLDER VALUE
Fiscal year 2015 marked a turning point for Symantec, and we are accelerating our transformation
in fiscal 2016. As a focused cybersecurity company, we are poised to extend our lead in the security
industry. Our robust product pipeline, new product adoption by our global installed base, our capable and
committed management team, and improving sales force execution make us confident that we’ll grow
our enterprise security business in the second half of fiscal 2016. We expect to unlock further value in
fiscal 2017, with our streamlined and independent cybersecurity business driving accelerated growth
through new offerings, expanding operating margin, and generating significant cash flow. We are excited
about our future and the opportunities that lie ahead. We want to thank our customers, employees, and
partners for their continued commitment to our business.
We appreciate your continued support as shareholders.
