Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Business NortonLifeLock, Inc. is a leading provider of consumer Cyber Safety solutions globally. We help customers protect their devices, online privacy, identity and home networks. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, except as otherwise noted, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended July 2, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year. Fiscal calendar We have a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to three-month periods in this report relate to fiscal periods ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020. The three months ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020 each consisted of 13 weeks. Our 2022 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks and ends on April 1, 2022. Use of estimates The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, valuation of business combinations including acquired intangible assets and goodwill, loss contingencies, the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, including the measurement of uncertain tax positions and valuation of assets and liabilities and results of operations of our discontinued operations. On an ongoing basis, management determines these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Third-party valuation specialists are also utilized for certain estimates. Actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and such differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant accounting policies With the exception of those discussed in Note 2, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended July 2, 2021, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2021.
