OUTLOOK FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013

The Company updated its revenue and GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations outlook and reaffirmed cash flow from continuing operations guidance for fiscal year 2013. The following guidance consists of "forward-looking statements" (as defined below).
The Company expects the following:

-- Total revenue growth in a range of 1 percent to 2 percent in constant currency. At June 30, 2012 exchange rates, this translates to reported revenue of $4.74 billion to $4.80 billion. Previously, total revenue growth outlook was in a range of 2 percent to 4 percent in constant currency.

-- GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations growth in constant currency in a range of 12 percent to 14 percent. At June 30, 2012 exchange rates, this translates to GAAP reported diluted earnings per share of $2.07 to $2.12. Previously, GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in constant currency was 10 percent to 14 percent.

-- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations growth in constant currency in a range of 10 percent to 12 percent. At June 30, 2012 exchange rates, this translates to reported non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.45 to $2.50. Previously, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in constant currency was 9 percent to 12 percent.

-- Cash flow from continuing operations growth in a range of 4 percent to 6 percent in constant currency. At June 30, 2012 exchange rates, this translates to reported cash flow from continuing operations of $1.54 billion to $1.57 billion.

This outlook also assumes no material acquisitions and a partial currency hedge of operating income. The Company expects a full-year GAAP operating margin of 31 percent, up from the previous guidance of 30 percent, and non-GAAP operating margin of 36 percent, up from a previous outlook of 35 percent. The Company also expects an effective full-year GAAP and non-GAAP tax rate to come in closer to the high-end of the 30 to 31 percent provided at the outset of the fiscal year.

The Company anticipates approximately 452 million shares outstanding at fiscal year 2013 year-end and weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 459 million for the fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release, the accompanying tables and the additional content that is available on the Company's website, including a supplemental financial package, includes certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP metrics for operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share exclude the following items: non-cash amortization of purchased software and other intangibles, share-based compensation, fiscal year 2007 restructuring costs and certain other gains and losses, which includes the gains and losses since inception of hedges that mature within the quarter, but exclude gains and losses of hedges that do not mature within the quarter. In fiscal year 2011, non-GAAP income also excludes recoveries and certain costs associated with derivative litigation matters. The effective tax rate on GAAP and non-GAAP income from operations is the Company's provision for income taxes expressed as a percentage of pre-tax GAAP and non-GAAP income from continuing operations, respectively. Such tax rates are determined based on an estimated effective full year tax rate, with the effective tax rate for GAAP generally including the impact of discrete items in the period such items arise and the effective tax rate for non-GAAP income generally allocating the impact of discrete items pro rata to the fiscal year's remaining reporting periods. Adjusted cash flow from operations excludes restructuring and other payments. Free cash flow excludes purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than US dollars are converted into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2012, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year. Constant currency excludes the impacts from the Company's hedging program. The constant currency calculation for annualized subscription and maintenance bookings is calculated by dividing the subscription and maintenance bookings in constant currency by the weighted average subscription and maintenance duration in years. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and cash flows, to competitors' operating results and cash flows, and to estimates made by securities analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate its performance and they are key variables in determining management incentive compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, the Company has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are attached to this news release.
