Outlook

Our outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 is as follows:

--  Revenue is expected to be between $990 million and $1.05 billion.

--  GAAP gross margin is expected to be 51.2 percent, plus or minus one
    percentage point. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be 51.5
    percent, plus or minus one percentage point.

--  GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $418 million.
    Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $354
    million.

    GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter are expected to
    include a one-time charge related to a corporate donation to Stanford
    Hospital of $25 million, payable over a 10-year period. We are joining
    Stanford's initiative, along with other corporations in the high-tech
    community, including Apple, eBay, HP, Intel, Intuit and Oracle, to
    build a leading-edge health care institution.

--  GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be approximately 20
    percent, plus or minus one percent, for the second quarter and fiscal
    year, excluding any discrete tax events that may occur during the
    quarter, which, if realized, may increase or decrease our GAAP and
    non-GAAP tax rates. If the U.S. research tax credit is reinstated into
    tax law, we estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year
    2013 to be approximately 16 percent.

We estimate depreciation and amortization for the second quarter to be approximately $55 million to $57 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $35 to $45 million.

Diluted shares for the second quarter are expected to be approximately 628 million.
