Qualcomm Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results
Revenues $2.5 Billion, Loss Per Share $0.18
Pro Forma Loss Per Share $0.03
$1.26 Billion of Operating Cash Flow, up 33% year-over-year;
Raising Fiscal 2009 Revenue Guidance; Global Resolution with Broadcom
SAN DIEGO — April 27, 2009 — Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services, today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended March 29, 2009. While second quarter fiscal 2009 revenues were at the high end of prior guidance, strong operating results were offset by costs related to a settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom Corporation. In addition, results for the quarter were adversely impacted by other-than-temporary impairments to marketable securities.
Second Quarter Results (GAAP)
    Revenues: $2.46 billion, compared to $2.61 billion in the prior year and $2.52 billion in the prior quarter.
 
    Operating loss: $10 million, which reflects a $748 million charge for litigation settlement related to the settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom compared to operating income of $813 million in the prior year and $745 million in the prior quarter.
 
    Net loss: $289 million, compared to net income of $766 million in the prior year and $341 million in the prior quarter.
 
    Diluted loss per share: $0.18, compared to diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.47 in the prior year and $0.20 in the prior quarter.
 
    Effective tax rate: negative 186 percent for the quarter, primarily due to the impact of the discrete tax benefit related to the litigation settlement charge associated with the settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom at a rate less than the United States federal rate. Fiscal 2009 estimated tax rate of approximately 35 percent.

    Estimated share-based compensation: $145 million, net of tax, compared to $88 million in the prior year and $99 million in the prior quarter.
 
    Operating cash flow: $1.26 billion, up 33 percent year-over-year; 51 percent of revenues.
 
    Return of capital to stockholders: $528 million, or $0.32 per share of cash dividends paid (relating to dividends declared in the first and second quarters).
Pro Forma Second Quarter Results
Pro forma results exclude the Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment, certain estimated share-based compensation, certain tax items related to prior years and acquired in-process research and development (R&D) expense.
    Revenues: $2.45 billion, compared to $2.60 billion in the prior year and $2.51 billion in the prior quarter.
 
    Operating income: $214 million, which reflects a $748 million charge for litigation settlement related to the settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom, compared to $1.02 billion in the prior year and $986 million in the prior quarter.
 
    Net loss: $46 million, compared to net income of $894 million in the prior year and $520 million in the prior quarter.
 
    Diluted loss per share: $0.03, compared to diluted EPS of $0.54 in the prior year and $0.31 in the prior quarter. The current quarter excludes $0.03 loss per share attributable to the QSI segment, $0.09 loss per share attributable to certain estimated share-based compensation and $0.02 loss per share attributable to the adjustment of our net deferred tax assets to reflect the future impact of the recently enacted California budget legislation.
 
    Effective tax rate: 131 percent for the quarter, primarily due to the impact of the discrete tax benefit related to the litigation settlement charge associated with the settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom at a rate less than the United States federal rate. Fiscal 2009 estimated tax rate of approximately 31 percent.
 
    Free cash flow: $1.15 billion, up 49 percent year-over-year; 47 percent of revenues (defined as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures).

“Global demand for 3G-enabled products and services remains strong despite the current economic environment,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chief executive officer of Qualcomm. “Our second quarter revenues were at the high end of prior guidance, and I am pleased with the strong operating performance of our business. The recent settlement with Broadcom will resolve all pending litigation between the parties, and while this settlement adversely impacted our second quarter results, eliminating uncertainty, employee distraction and cost related to protracted litigation is a positive for our stockholders, customers, partners and the wireless industry.”
“While the business environment remains uncertain and the continued distress in global financial markets resulted in additional impairments to our marketable securities, we believe the CDMA inventory channel has stabilized, and we are seeing some replenishment of products driven primarily by emerging markets.  We continue to grow key research and development programs to further our technology leadership and drive future growth, while closely managing SG&A expenses.  Demand for CDMA-based products and services remains healthy, and our calendar year 2009 device shipment estimate remains unchanged.”
Cash and Marketable Securities
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $14.0 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $13.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and $10.6 billion a year ago. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we increased our quarterly dividend from $0.16 to $0.17 per share. On April 8, 2009, we announced a cash dividend of $0.17 per share, payable on June 26, 2009 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 29, 2009.
The distress in global financial markets has continued to affect the value of our marketable securities. As a result, we determined that $204 million, or approximately 1 percent of the recorded values of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at March 29, 2009, were other-than-temporarily impaired. In addition, at March 29, 2009 and April 17, 2009, we had net unrealized losses on marketable securities of $898 million and $634 million, respectively.

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 7 percent year-over-year, primarily due to an increase in costs related to the development of integrated circuit products, next-generation CDMA and OFDMA technologies, the expansion of our intellectual property portfolio and other initiatives to support the acceleration of advanced wireless products and services. QSI R&D expenses were related to our FLO TV subsidiary, formerly MediaFLO USA.

Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by 13 percent year-over-year, a majority of which is due to cost reduction activities. QSI SG&A expenses were primarily related to FLO TV.
Litigation Settlement
The second quarter of fiscal 2009 operating expenses included a $748 million litigation settlement charge related to a settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom. The agreement provides for the

receipt of certain assets in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and will resolve all pending litigation between the parties.
Effective Income Tax Rate
Our fiscal 2009 effective income tax rates are estimated to be 35 percent for GAAP and 31 percent for pro forma.  The second quarter effective tax rates of negative 186 percent for GAAP and 131 percent for pro forma differ from the annual rates due to the impact of the discrete tax benefit related to the litigation settlement charge associated with the settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom at a rate less than the United States federal rate. In addition, the second quarter GAAP effective tax rate differs from the estimated annual effective tax rate due to amounts recorded during the quarter to adjust our net deferred tax assets to reflect the future impact of California budget legislation enacted February 20, 2009.
Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives
The QSI segment is composed of our strategic investments, including our FLO TV subsidiary.  GAAP results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 included a $0.03 loss per share for the QSI segment. The second quarter of fiscal 2009 QSI results included $86 million in operating expenses, primarily related to FLO TV.
Business Outlook
The following statements are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. The “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this news release provides a description of certain risks that we face, and our annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provide a more complete description of risks.
We expect the global financial crisis and resulting slowdown in the worldwide economy to continue to cause lower demand for CDMA-based products in various regions. We expect a greater mix of lower-priced CDMA-based products for emerging markets to impact our financial results for the second half of fiscal 2009 as compared to the second half of fiscal 2008. In addition, the financial crisis has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the value of our marketable securities and net investment income (loss). While we do not forecast impairments, we do have unrealized losses on marketable securities that could be recognized in future periods if market conditions do not improve. Given the unprecedented daily market

volatility and the significant judgments involved, accurately forecasting other-than-temporary impairments associated with our marketable securities is extremely difficult and actual results could vary materially. As a result, while we are providing revenue, operating income and our other standard guidance, we are not providing earnings per share guidance.
Moreover, our outlook does not include provisions for the consequences of injunctions or significant possible damages related to litigation matters, unless damages or injunctions have been awarded by a court. In addition, due to their nature, certain income and expense items, such as realized investment gains or losses, gains and losses on certain derivative instruments or asset impairments, cannot be accurately forecast.  Accordingly, we exclude forecasts of such items from our business outlook, and actual results may vary materially from the business outlook if we incur any such income or expense items. 
The following table summarizes GAAP and pro forma guidance based on the current business outlook. The pro forma business outlook provided below is presented consistent with the presentation of pro forma results elsewhere herein.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company presents pro forma financial information that is used by management (i) to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company’s operating results on a consistent and comparable basis, (ii) to measure the performance and efficiency of the Company’s ongoing core operating businesses, including the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, Qualcomm Technology Licensing and Qualcomm Wireless & Internet segments and (iii) to compare the performance and efficiency of these segments against each other and against competitors outside the Company. Pro forma measurements of the following financial data are used by the Company’s management: revenues, R&D expenses, SG&A expenses, total operating expenses, operating income, net investment income (loss), income before income taxes, effective tax rate, net income (loss), diluted earnings (loss) per share, operating cash flow and free cash flow. Management is able to assess what it believes is a more meaningful and comparable set of financial performance measures for the Company and its business segments by using pro forma information. As a result, management compensation decisions and the review of executive compensation by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors focus primarily on pro forma financial measures applicable to the Company and its business segments.
Pro forma information used by management excludes the QSI segment, certain estimated share-based compensation, certain tax items related to prior years and acquired in-process

 


 

     
Qualcomm Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results
  Page 11 of 18
R&D. The QSI segment is excluded because the Company expects to exit its strategic investments at various times, and the effects of fluctuations in the value of such investments are viewed by management as unrelated to the Company’s operational performance. Estimated share-based compensation, other than amounts related to share-based awards granted under a bonus program that may result in the issuance of unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock, is excluded because management views such share-based compensation as unrelated to the Company’s operational performance. Moreover, it is generally not an expense that requires or will require cash payment by the Company. Further, share-based compensation related to options is affected by factors that are subject to change, including the Company’s stock price, stock market volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend payouts in future years. Certain tax items related to prior years are excluded in order to provide a clearer understanding of the Company’s ongoing pro forma tax rate and after tax earnings. The Company decided to include the benefit of the retroactive extension of the federal research and development tax credit in pro forma results starting in fiscal 2009 because it recurs with relative frequency and would have been included in the Company’s pro forma results for the prior year if it had been reenacted in the prior fiscal year. Acquired in-process R&D is excluded because such expense is viewed by management as unrelated to the operating activities of the Company’s ongoing core businesses.
The Company presents free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, to facilitate an understanding of the amount of cash flow generated that is available to grow its business and to create long-term shareholder value. The Company believes that this presentation is useful in evaluating its operating performance and financial strength.  In addition, management uses this measure to evaluate the Company’s performance, to value the Company and to compare its operating performance with other companies in the industry.
The non-GAAP pro forma financial information presented herein should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, “pro forma” is not a term defined by GAAP, and, as a result, the Company’s measure of pro forma results might be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations between GAAP results and pro forma results are presented herein.

(a)   The second quarter of fiscal 2009 included a $748 million litigation settlement charge related to a settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom.
 
(b)   Included $586 million in other-than-temporary losses on investments, which were not part of the Company’s strategic investment portfolio, $38 million in net realized losses on investments and $3 million in interest expense, partially offset by $255 million in interest and dividend income related to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $13 million gain on derivatives.
