MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – January 19, 2016 – Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC) today provided an update on expected results for the third fiscal quarter of 2016. The Company anticipates that it will report GAAP Revenue, Non-GAAP Operating Margin and Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 that are above the midpoint of the guidance provided in its press release dated November 5, 2015.
