Disclosure Statements
Non-GAAP net earnings and pro-forma operating margin exclude amortization of purchased technology and intangibles expense, compensation charges relating to employee stock options, retention bonuses and severance payments related to acquisitions, gain or loss on sale of assets and technology, restructuring charges, divestiture expense, in process research and development and reimbursements associated with the transition services agreement with Network General; non-GAAP net earnings assume an effective tax rate of 25%. McAfee's management uses non-GAAP net earnings and pro-forma operating results to evaluate the company's operating performance and believes that excluding these items enhances management's and its investors' ability to evaluate McAfee's comparable historical operating results. McAfee's management believes that all disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
McAfee is unable to provide a non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation of projected third quarter and full year 2005 net earnings and net earnings per share. Among other reasons, such amounts are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated at this time or, in the case of stock options, the amount of any compensation charge (credit) related to stock options depends on changes in the trading price of McAfee's common stock.
McAfee estimates that every $1 increase, if any, in its stock price from the price on June 30, 2005, will increase its third quarter stock-based compensation charge by approximately $0.5 million, assuming that outstanding options subject to variable accounting remain constant. With respect to the other items, it is estimated that (i) for the third quarter of 2005 and the remainder of 2005 restructuring charges will be in the range of $0.1 million to $2.0 million based on decisions made prior to the first quarter of 2005 for which the actions will occur in 2005 but excluding additional restructuring activities that may be taken after June 30, 2005, (ii) for the third quarter 2005 and the remainder of 2005 amortization expense will be approximately $2.7 million and $5.4 million on intangibles and trademarks, and $3.9 million and $7.8 million on purchased technology and (iii) for the third quarter of 2005 and the remainder of 2005 other payments related to the IntruVert, Foundstone and Wireless Security Corporation acquisitions will be approximately $1.2 million and $2.1 million. The estimate for amortization expense does not include any future impairment of intangible assets with respect to previous acquisitions nor does it include any intangible assets that may be acquired through future acquisitions.
Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing contains forward-looking statements which include those regarding expected operating results for the third quarter of 2005 and full- year 2005; McAfee's continued commitment to the channel and its channel partners; new product introductions and related product benefits; estimates for certain charges for the third quarter of 2005 and full year of 2005; and anticipated benefits of its partnerships. Actual results could vary perhaps materially and the expected results may not occur. McAfee may not succeed in its efforts to grow its business, build upon its technology leadership or capture market share, notwithstanding related commitment or related investment. The company may not benefit from its strategic alliances or partnerships as anticipated, customers may not respond as favorably as anticipated to the company's product or technical support offerings, or the company may not satisfactorily anticipate or meet its customers' needs or expectations. McAfee's business, including its sales force and internal finance and IT operations, may be disrupted or otherwise strained due to company cost saving measures. Actual results are also subject to a number of other factors, including customer and distributor demand fluctuations and macro and other economic conditions both in the U.S. and internationally; successful sales force coordination and execution; attracting and retaining qualified sales force and other personnel; and successful development, introduction and adoption by customers of new products and enhancements that meet customer demand. The forward-looking statements contained in this release are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in McAfee's filings with the SEC including its annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q.
