On October 14, 1999, our board of directors declared a
three-for-two stock split of our outstanding common stock. The stock split will
be effected in the form of a stock dividend and will entitle each stockholder of
record on November 2, 1999 to receive one additional share for every two shares
held on the record date. The payment date will be November 19, 1999. As of
October 14, 1999, there are approximately 172.3 million shares of our common
stock outstanding, and this number will increase to approximately 258.5 million
following the stock split. To reflect the stock split, the number of shares that
may be offered through the Prospectus will increase to include one and one-half
times the number of shares described in the Prospectus that the selling
stockholders hold on November 19, 1999.
Also, on October 14, 1999, we announced financial results for our third
quarter ended September 30, 1999.
On a pro forma basis, we achieved third-quarter revenue of $183.4
million, an increase of 75% over last year's third-quarter revenue of $105.1
million. Pro forma net income, excluding one-time charges and purchase
accounting adjustments, increased to $38.9 million from $17.1 million for the
prior year, a 127% increase. Diluted pro forma net income per share for the
third quarter was $0.21, a 133% increase from $0.09 for the same period last
year. Our pro forma operating margin increased to 32% for the third quarter as
compared with an operating margin of 24% for the same quarter last year.
Our as-reported revenue for the third quarter was $183.4 million,
compared with $56.5 million for the same period last year. For the third
quarter, we reported a net loss of $183.6 million, or $1.07 per share, compared
with net income of $12.6 million, or $0.12 per share on a diluted basis for the
prior year. Included in the current period's net loss is a one-time charge of
$1.1 million for the write-off of in-process research and development related to
the purchase of certain assets of NuView, Inc. Also included was $234.9 million
of purchase accounting amortization.
On a pro forma basis for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, we had revenue of $473.9 million and $284.0 million,
respectively, a 67% year-over-year increase. Pro forma net income increased to
$96.0 million from $45.9 million in the prior period, a 109% increase. Pro forma
diluted net income per share was $0.52, compared with $0.25 for the same period
last year, a 108% increase.
Our as-reported revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1999 was $370.0 million, compared with $143.7 million for the same period last
year. For the nine-month period, we reported a net loss of $332.3 million, or
$2.56 per share, compared with net income of $30.2 million, or $0.29 per share
on a diluted basis for the same period in the prior year.
To better facilitate the financial reporting, we added the following
additional financial table to our earnings release: "Pro forma Statements of
Operations." These pro forma statements are intended to present our operating
results excluding purchase accounting adjustments but including the results of
Seagate Software NSMG and TeleBackup Systems assuming the companies had been
combined at the beginning of all periods presented.

(1) Share and per share data applicable to prior periods has been restated to
give retroactive effect to a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock
dividend effected in July 1999.
These pro forma historical financial statements contain certain immaterial
reclassifications. The reclassifications have no impact on previously reported
total net revenue or income from operations. On a year-to-date basis, pro forma
user license fees and services revenue have been adjusted to reflect a
reclassification between the two categories. This reclassification represents
the NSMG services revenue, and was previously classified as pro forma user
license fees. A corresponding reclassification was made to cost of services
revenue, which was previously classified as user license fees cost of revenue.
Reclassifications have also been made within the various pro forma operating
expense categories to reflect the operating expenses of the acquired companies
in a consistent manner with the historical VERITAS presentation.
The pro forma statement of operations is intended to present our operating
results excluding purchase accounting adjustments but including the results of
NSMG and TeleBackup assuming the companies had been combined at the beginning of
the three and nine month period end September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Such purchase accounting adjustments would include amortization of developed
technology, amortization of goodwill and intangibles, restructuring and other
merger costs, in-process research and development costs, and related adjustments
for income tax provision.
