Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 12, 2011, the Company reported preliminary financial results for its fiscal third
quarter ended December 26, 2010. A copy of the press release issued by the Company concerning the
foregoing results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained herein and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be
incorporated by reference into any filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth
by specific reference in such filing. The information in this report, including Exhibit 99.1
hereto, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In addition to the results presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
basis in the press release included in Exhibit 99.1, the Company has also included a non-GAAP
financial measure non-GAAP net income per diluted share.
The Company believes that this supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, when presented in
conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors
and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of
the costs associated with the operations of the Companys business as determined in accordance with
GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as
a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
The Company has presented non-GAAP net income per diluted share, on a basis consistent with
its historical presentation, to assist investors in understanding the Companys core net income per
diluted share on an on-going basis. This non-GAAP financial measure may also assist investors in
making comparisons of the Companys core net profitability with historical periods. Although the
non-GAAP financial measure presented by the Company may be different from the non-GAAP financial
measures used by other companies, the Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure may
also assist investors in making comparisons of the Companys core net profitability with the
corresponding results for its competitors. Management also believes that non-GAAP net income per
diluted share is an important measure in the evaluation of the Companys profitability.

Management uses non-GAAP net income per diluted share in its evaluation of the Companys core
after-tax results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that this measure is
an important component of its internal performance measurement process. In addition, the Company
prepares and maintains its budgets and forecasts for future periods on a basis consistent with this
non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure
allows investors to view the Companys financial results in the way that management views the
financial results.
The Company excludes the following items from the non-GAAP financial measure presented:
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation consists of expenses associated with stock
options and restricted stock units granted by the Company and purchases of common stock under the
Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies
in amount from period to period as a result of factors that are difficult to predict and are
generally outside the control of the Company, such as the market price and associated volatility of
the Companys common stock. Accordingly, management believes these expenses are not reflective of
the Companys core operating expenses and excludes them when assessing its core operating results
and from its internal budgets and forecasts.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. In connection with acquisitions, the
Company records purchased intangible assets (consisting primarily of purchased technology) which
are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The amortization is a non-cash expense which is
not considered by management when assessing the core operating results of the Company. The
acquisition-related intangible assets and the related amortization can vary significantly based on
the size and frequency of acquisitions.
Income tax effect. Income tax expense is adjusted by the amount of tax benefit or expense
(including any valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets) that would result from the use
of the non-GAAP results instead of the GAAP results when calculating the Companys tax expense.
Management believes changes in valuation allowances related to the Companys deferred tax assets
associated with non-core assets (i.e., investment securities) are unrelated to the Companys core
business. Accordingly, management does not consider valuation allowances related to such deferred
tax assets when assessing the core operating results of the Company.
Each of the foregoing items has been excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure presented by
the Company. Management believes that such exclusion is appropriate since these items are not
reflective of the Companys core operating activities and thus excludes them from their internal
budgets and forecasts, as well as their assessment of core operating performance.
