Key financial metrics
The following tables provide our key financial metrics for the periods
presented:
Three Months Ended
(In millions, except for per share amounts) July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021
Net revenues $ 707 $ 686
Operating income (loss) $ 261 $ 287
Net income (loss) $ 200 $ 181
Net income (loss) per share - diluted $ 0.33 $ 0.31
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 215 $ 258
As Of
(In millions) July 1, 2022 April 1, 2022
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 1,291 $ 1,891
Contract liabilities
$ 1,220 $ 1,306
Below are our financial highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2023,
compared to the corresponding period in the prior year:
•Net revenues increased $21 million, due to higher sales in both our consumer
security products and our identity and information protection products.
•Net income increased $19 million, primarily due to a decrease in income tax
expense.
•Net income per share - diluted increased $0.02, due to the increase in net
income, offset by the adoption of ASU 2020-06.
•Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $600 million
compared to April 1, 2022, primarily due to the repayment of our Senior 3.95%
Senior Notes and repurchases of common stock during the first three months of
fiscal 2023.
•Contract liabilities decreased $86 million compared to April 1, 2022, primarily
due to a decline in billings due to seasonality and fluctuations in foreign
currency rates.

Proposed Merger with Avast
On August 10, 2021, we announced a transaction under which we intend to acquire
the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Avast plc, a public
company incorporated in England and Wales and a global leader of digital
security and privacy headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic (Avast and such
transaction, the Proposed Merger). The Proposed Merger will be implemented by
means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under the UK Companies Act
2006, as amended (the Scheme), and remains subject to a certain number of
conditions. Under the terms of the Proposed Merger, Avast shareholders will be
entitled to elect to receive, for each ordinary share of Avast held, in respect
of their entire holding of Avast shares, either: (i) $7.61 in cash and 0.0302 of
a new share of our common stock (such option, the Majority Cash Option); or (ii)
$2.37 in cash and 0.1937 of a new share of our common stock (such option, the
Majority Stock Option). Based on our undisturbed closing share price of $27.20
on July 13, 2021, and depending on the Avast shareholder elections, the
estimated purchase price range for the Avast shares under the Proposed Merger is
$8.1 billion to $8.6 billion. Each of the directors of Avast who holds shares
has undertaken to elect for the Majority Stock Option in respect of their entire
beneficial holdings of Avast shares. We plan to finance the Proposed Merger with
existing cash, cash to be generated by operations and new debt financing.
In conjunction with the Proposed Merger, on August 10, 2021, we entered into an
agreement (as amended, the Interim Facilities Agreement) with certain financial
institutions, in which they agreed to provide us with (i) a $3,600 million term
loan interim facility B (the Interim Facility B), (ii) $750 million term loan
interim facility A1 (the Interim Facility A1) and $3,500 million term loan
interim facility A2 (the Interim Facility A2), and (iii) a $1,500 million
interim revolving facility (the Interim Revolving Facility) (collectively, the
Interim Facilities) and a commitment letter (as amended, the Commitment Letter)
with certain financial institutions, in which they agreed to provide us with
financing no less than the financing available under the Interim Facilities (the
Definitive Facilities and, together with the Interim Facilities, the Facilities)
to finance the cash consideration payable in connection with the Proposed
Merger. The Definitive Facilities will be financed by a syndicate of lenders led
by Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank N.A. On January 28, 2022, Bank of
America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank N.A. agreed to arrange, on a best efforts
basis, additional term loans under the Definitive Facilities in an amount up to
$500 million. The Interim Facilities Agreement contains, and any definitive
financing documentation for the Definitive Facilities entered into in connection
with the Commitment Letter (the Facilities Agreement) will contain, customary
representations and warranties, events of default and covenants for transactions
of this type. The Facilities Agreement will replace the existing credit facility
agreement upon the close of the transaction.
In conjunction with the Proposed Merger, on August 10, 2021, we entered into a
Co-operation Agreement (the Co-operation Agreement) with Nitro Bidco Limited,
our wholly-owned subsidiary (Bidco), and Avast, pursuant to which we and Bidco
agreed to, among other things, use all reasonable endeavors for the purposes of
obtaining any regulatory authorizations which are required to implement the
Proposed Merger, and we, Bidco and Avast agreed to cooperate with each other in
preparing required transaction documents and certain other matters in connection
with the Proposed Merger. The Co-operation Agreement also contains certain
termination rights. The Co-operation Agreement also provides that, if we fail to
receive approval from the U.K Competition and Markets Authority and cannot
consummate the Proposed Merger, we may be required to pay Avast a break fee of
up to $200 million.
The Proposed Merger was approved by our Board of Directors and by our
shareholders, the Board of Directors and shareholders of Avast and regulators
including the Federal Trade Commission under the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the HSR Act) and in Europe, the German
Federal Cartel Office and the Spanish National Markets and Competition
Commission. On August 3, 2022, the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
provisionally cleared the Proposed Merger. Subject to final approval by the CMA
and changes based on operational considerations mutually agreed upon by the
parties and other requirements, the closing is anticipated to be between
mid-September to early October 2022, given the CMA's published schedule and the
currently scheduled U.K. Court Hearing to approve the scheme.
COVID-19 UPDATE
The COVID-19 pandemic has had widespread, rapidly evolving and unpredictable
impacts on global society, economies, financial markets and business practices.
At the onset of the pandemic, to protect the health and well-being of our
employees, partners and third-party service providers, we facilitated a
work-from-home requirement for most employees and established site-specific
COVID-19 prevention protocols. We continue to monitor the situation and over the
past several months have adjusted our policies and protocols to reflect changes
to public health regulations and guidance. Our offices are now open to employees
on a voluntary basis. To date, we have not seen any meaningful negative impact
on our employee productivity. Nevertheless, as more employees, partners or
third-party services providers return to work during the COVID-19 pandemic, the
risk of inadvertent transmission of COVID-19 through human contact could still
occur and result in litigation.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted many sectors of the U.S. and
global economies, the consumer Cyber Safety market experienced increased demand
as the pandemic greatly accelerated the digital lives of people around the
world. However, with the extended duration of the pandemic and the easing of
prevention protocols and restrictions, we are seeing decreasing demand and
increased competition. In addition, while we did not experience a material
increase in cancellations by customers or a material reduction in retention rate
in fiscal 2022 or in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, should the negative
macroeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic persist or worsen, we may
experience continued slowdowns in our business activity and an increase in
cancellations by customers or a material reduction in our retention rate in the
future, especially in the event of a prolonged recession. A prolonged recession
could adversely affect demand for our offerings, retention rates and harm our
business and results of operations, particularly in light of the fact that our
solutions are discretionary purchases and thus may be more susceptible to
macroeconomic pressures, as well impact the value of our common stock, ability
to refinance our debt and our access to capital.
24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on
future developments that cannot be accurately forecasted at this time, such as
the severity and transmission rate of new variants of the disease, the extent,
effectiveness and acceptance of containment actions, such as vaccination
programs, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers,
partners and third-party service providers. For more information on the risks
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, please see "Risk Factors" in Part II,
Item 1A below.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related
notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.
requires us to make estimates, including judgments and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates on
historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on a regular basis
and make changes accordingly. Management believes that the accounting estimates
employed and the resulting amounts are reasonable; however, actual results may
differ from these estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events
is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of
which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions
change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our
results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates were disclosed in Item 7,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 1, 2022. There have been no material changes in the matters for which we
make critical accounting estimates in the preparation of our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements during the three months ended July 1, 2022.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Performance Metrics
We regularly monitor a number of metrics in order to measure our current
performance and estimate our future performance. Our metrics may be calculated
in a manner different than similar metrics used by other companies.
The following table summarizes supplemental key performance metrics:
Three Months Ended
(In millions, except for per user amounts) July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021
Direct customer revenues (1)
$ 620 $ 611
Partner revenues $ 88 $ 80
Average direct customer count 23.4 23.0
Direct customer count (at quarter end) 23.3 23.1
Direct average revenue per user (ARPU) $ 8.82 $ 8.84
(1) Direct customer revenues during the three months ended July 1, 2022 and July
2, 2021 excludes a $1 million and $5 million reduction of revenue, respectively,
from a contract liability purchase accounting adjustment. We believe that
eliminating the impact of this adjustment improves the comparability of revenues
between periods. In addition, although the adjustment amounts will never be
recognized in our GAAP financial statements, we do not expect the acquisitions
to affect the future renewal rates of revenues excluded by the adjustments.
We define direct customer revenues as revenues from sales of our consumer
solutions to direct customers, which we define as active paid users who have a
direct billing relationship with the Company at the end of the reported period.
We exclude users on free trials and users who have indirectly purchased our
product or services through partners unless such users convert or renew their
subscription directly with us, or sign up for a paid membership through our web
store.
Average direct customer count presents the average of the total number of direct
customers at the beginning and end of the fiscal quarter.
ARPU is calculated as estimated direct customer revenues for the period divided
by the average direct customer count for the same period, expressed as a monthly
figure. Non-GAAP estimated direct customer revenues and ARPU have limitations as
analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for GAAP estimated direct customer revenues or other GAAP measures. We monitor
ARPU because it helps us understand the rate at which we are monetizing our
consumer customer base.
Net revenues by geographical region
Three Months Ended
July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021
Americas 72 % 70 %
EMEA 17 % 19 %
APJ 11 % 11 %
The Americas include the U.S., Canada and Latin America; EMEA includes Europe,
the Middle East and Africa; APJ includes Asia Pacific and Japan.
Percentage of revenue by geographic region in the three months ended July 1,
2022 remained consistent with the corresponding period in the prior year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Sales and marketing expense, research and development expense and amortization
of intangible assets remained relatively flat.
General and administrative expense increased $59 million, primarily due to a $52
million increase of a legal accrual, of which $45 million was prejudgment
interest, relating to an ongoing patent infringement lawsuit and the
corresponding legal fees. See Note 18 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information.
Restructuring and other costs decreased $5 million, in connection with the
December 2020 Plan, which was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 .
See Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
details of our restructuring activities.

Provision for income taxes
Three Months Ended
(In millions, except for percentages) July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021
Income (loss) before income taxes $ 229 $ 252
Income tax expense (benefit) $ 29 $ 71
Effective tax rate 13 % 28 %
Our effective tax rate for income for the three months ended July 1, 2022
differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to tax benefits
related to the foreign currency remeasurement of an Irish deferred tax asset and
discrete legal expenses booked during the quarter, partially offset by state
taxes.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2021 differs from the
federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state taxes, partially offset
by the benefits of lower-tax international earnings and various permanent
differences.
We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in multiple U.S. and
international tax jurisdictions. Our results of operations would be adversely
affected to the extent that our geographical mix of income becomes more weighted
toward jurisdictions with higher tax rates and would be favorably affected to
the extent the relative geographic mix shifts to lower tax jurisdictions. Any
change in our mix of earnings is dependent upon many factors and therefore, is
difficult to predict.
The timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain and
the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the
taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.
Given the potential resolution of uncertain tax positions involves multiple tax
periods and jurisdictions, we are unable to accurately estimate when these
unrecognized tax benefits will be realized or released. However, it is
reasonably possible that there could be significant changes to our unrecognized
tax benefits in the next 12 months.
We continue to monitor the progress of ongoing income tax controversies and the
impact, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in
various taxing jurisdictions.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CASH REQUIREMENTS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically relied on cash generated from operations, borrowings under
credit facilities, issuances of debt and proceeds from divestitures for our
liquidity needs.
Our capital allocation strategy is to balance driving stockholder returns,
managing financial risk and preserving our flexibility to pursue strategic
options, including acquisitions and mergers. Historically, this has included a
quarterly cash dividend, the repayment of debt and the repurchase of shares of
our common stock.
Cash flows
The following summarizes our cash flow activities:
Three Months Ended
(In millions) July 1, 2022 July 2, 2021
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 215 $ 258
Investing activities $ 4 $ (1)
Financing activities $ (807) $ 44
See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our supplemental cash flow
information.
Cash from operating activities
Our cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $43 million,
primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable as a result of higher cash
payments and a decrease in contract liabilities reflecting higher revenue
recognized than billings compared to the first three months of fiscal 2022.
Cash from investing activities
Our cash flows provided by investing activities remained relatively flat.
Cash from financing activities
Our cash flows used in financing activities decreased $851 million, primarily
due to the absence of proceeds from issuance of debt and the continuation of our
stock repurchase program. The first three months of fiscal 2023 reflects the
$400 million repayment of our 3.95% Senior Notes and $300 million of repurchases
of common stock, compared to the $512 million of proceeds from the issuance of
our Initial Term Loan which was partially offset by the $364 million settlement
of our New 2.5% Convertible Notes during the first three months of fiscal 2022.
Cash and cash equivalents
As of July 1, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of
$1,291 million, of which $694 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Our
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are managed with the objective
to preserve principal, maintain liquidity and generate investment returns. The
participation exemption system under current U.S. federal tax regulations
generally allows us to make distributions of non-U.S. earnings to the U.S.
without incurring additional U.S. federal tax, however these distributions may
be subject to applicable state or foreign taxes.
Debt
We have an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1 billion, which expires in May
2026.
On June 1, 2022, we fully repaid the principal and accrued interest under the
3.95% Senior Notes due June 2022, which had an aggregate principal amount
outstanding of $400 million. In addition, we paid $7 million of accrued and
unpaid interest through the redemption date.
Cash Requirements
Our principal cash requirements are primarily to meet our working capital needs,
support on-going business activities, including payment of taxes and cash
dividends, payment of contractual obligations, funding capital expenditures,
servicing existing debt, repurchasing shares of our common stock and investing
in business acquisitions and mergers.

Proposed Merger with Avast
On August 10, 2021, the Company announced a transaction under which we intend to
acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Avast plc,
a public company incorporated in England and Wales and a global leader of
digital security and privacy headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic (Avast and
such transaction, the Proposed Merger). Based on our undisturbed closing share
price of $27.20 on July 13, 2021, and depending on the Avast shareholder
elections, the estimated purchase price range for the Avast shares under the
Proposed Merger is $8.1 billion to $8.6 billion. In conjunction with the
Proposed Merger, we and certain financial institution parties entered into an
Interim Facilities Agreement, under which Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo
Bank N.A., as interim lenders, agreed to provide us with certain term loan and
revolving facilities in order to finance the cash consideration payable and
based on the terms and conditions set forth in a commitment letter. The Interim
Facilities Agreement includes (i) the Interim Facility B, (ii) the Interim
Facility A1 and the Interim Facility A2, and (iii) the Interim Revolving
Facility which, on or before the final repayment date, are to be repaid/replaced
in full by loans made under the definitive financing documentation for the
Definitive Facilities (the Facilities Agreement). The obligations under the
Facilities Agreement will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of our
present and future domestic subsidiaries, with certain exceptions, as
applicable. The Facilities Agreement will replace the existing credit facility
agreement upon the close of the transaction.
Debt instruments
As of July 1, 2022, our total outstanding principal amount of indebtedness is
summarized as follows. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further
information on our debt.
(In millions) July 1, 2022
Term Loans $ 1,703
Senior Notes 1,100
Convertible Senior Notes 525
Mortgage Loans 8
Total debt $ 3,336
Our credit agreement maturing in May 2026 contains customary representations and
warranties, non-financial covenants for financial reporting and affirmative and
negative covenants, including compliance with specified financial ratios. As of
July 1, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. See Note 10 of the
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding financial ratios
and debt covenant compliance.
Dividends
On August 4, 2022, we announced a cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common
stock to be paid in September 2022. Any future dividends and dividend
equivalents will be subject to the approval of our Board of Directors.
Share repurchase program
Under our stock repurchase program, we may purchase shares of our outstanding
common stock on the open market (including through trading plans intended to
qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act) and through accelerated stock
repurchase transactions. As of July 1, 2022, the remaining balance of our stock
repurchase authorization was $1,474 million and does not have an expiration
date. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a
variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions and
other investment opportunities.
Contractual obligations
Our principal commitments consist of principal and interest payments related to
our debt instruments, obligations under our purchase agreements, repatriation
tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts and obligations under various
non-cancellable leases. Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of
future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits and other
long-term taxes as of July 1, 2022, we are unable to make reasonably reliable
estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing
authorities. Therefore, $556 million in long-term income taxes payable has been
excluded from our quarterly review of timing of contractual obligations.
Commitments related to the principal payments of our debt instruments decreased
$411 million from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 1, 2022 primarily due to the repayment of our 3.95% Senior Notes. There
have been no other material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to
the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report. For additional
information about our debt obligations and certain other contingencies, see Note
10 and Note 18, respectively, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Under the terms of the Proposed Merger, we expect to pay a purchase price for
the Avast shares ranging from $8.1 billion to $8.6 billion upon the completion
of the transaction in late calendar year 2022. In conjunction with the Proposed
Merger, we have secured debt under the Interim Facilities which will be
available upon the close of the transaction. If the Proposed Merger is
completed, our debt obligations will include principal and interest payments
related to these credit facilities. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for further information regarding this business combination and the related debt
instruments.
29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our existing
cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations and
amounts available under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our
working capital needs and support on-going business activities through at least
the next 12 months and to meet our known long-term contractual obligations. We
plan to finance the cash consideration payable to Avast primarily with
borrowings under our Interim Facilities. We believe that our existing cash and
cash to be generated by operations, along with amounts available under the new
credit facility, will satisfy our long-term cash requirements for this
transaction. However, our future liquidity and capital requirements may vary
materially from those as of July 1, 2022 depending on several factors,
including, but not limited to, economic conditions; political climate; the
expansion of sales and marketing activities; the costs to acquire or invest in
businesses; and the risks and uncertainties discussed in "Risk Factors" in Part
II, Item 1A below.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying
scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, subsidiaries
and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited
to, losses arising out of our breach of agreements or representations and
warranties made by us. In connection with the sale of Veritas and the sale of
our Enterprise Security business to Broadcom, we assigned several leases to
Veritas Technologies LLC or Broadcom and/or their related subsidiaries. See Note
18 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our
indemnifications.
