SAN DIEGO, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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 2010 ended March 28, 2010.

"We delivered strong financial results this quarter, driven by healthy 3G device shipments and greater than expected demand for our chipsets. 3G subscribers have now surpassed 1 billion worldwide and with the 3G auction process underway in India, the 3G footprint continues to expand globally," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. "Calendar year 2010 3G device shipments are progressing in line with our expectations, and although we're continuing to operate in a competitive chipset pricing environment, we're positioned to continue to grow share through new partner engagements and our broad, industry-leading 3G chipset roadmap. Our business is executing well and we are pleased to be raising our earnings guidance for the fiscal year."

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 8 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 primarily related to our FLO TV™ subsidiary.

Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 6 percent year-over-year, primarily due to an increase in patent-related costs. QSI SG&A expenses increased 133 percent year-over-year, primarily due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses related to FLO TV.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Our fiscal 2010 effective income tax rates are estimated to be approximately 21 percent for GAAP and approximately 21 to 22 percent for pro forma. Our estimate of the fiscal 2010 GAAP effective tax rate includes tax expense of approximately $130 million that arises because deferred revenue related to the 2008 license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in fiscal 2010, but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years when our state tax rate will be lower as a result of California tax legislation enacted in 2009. This tax expense was excluded from our pro forma results to provide a clearer understanding of our ongoing tax rate and after tax earnings.

Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives

The QSI segment is composed of our strategic investments, including FLO TV. GAAP results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 included a $0.05 diluted loss per share for the QSI segment. The second quarter of fiscal 2010 QSI results included $134 million in operating expenses, primarily related to FLO TV.

Business Outlook and Description of Changes to QTL Metrics

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.

As a result of our analysis of information recently received from licensee audits and public disclosures concerning licensee market share, unit shipments and average selling prices (ASPs) as well as our evaluation of the evolving CDMA-based device industry (particularly the growth of the modem card/module device segment), we have adjusted some of the underlying assumptions used to estimate licensee unit shipments and ASPs, which we believe will improve our estimates. Also, beginning with this earnings release, we will provide investors with the total subscriber device sales reported to us by subscriber licensees during the relevant period, without adjustment for the differences in how licensees report sales information (e.g., some licensees report selling prices net of permitted deductions, such as transportation, insurance and packing costs, while other licensees do not). We believe the changes referenced above will continue to help investors understand important trends in our licensing business. We plan to discuss these changes in greater detail on our earnings call beginning at 1:45pm Pacific Time today.

For comparative purposes only, we are providing a table herein entitled "Changes to QTL Metrics" to show for fiscal 2009 and for the first quarter of fiscal 2010: 1) total reported subscriber device sales; 2) our prior ASP estimates and subscriber device shipment estimates; and 3) ASP estimates and subscriber device shipment estimates applying our adjusted estimation assumptions.

Our outlook does not include provisions for the consequences of injunctions, damages or fines related to any pending legal matters unless awarded or imposed by a court, governmental entity or other regulatory body. 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. While we do not forecast impairments, we have temporary unrealized losses on marketable securities that could be recognized as other-than-temporary losses in future periods if financial conditions affecting those securities do not improve. 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 presented below is consistent with the presentation of pro forma results elsewhere herein.

The following estimates are approximations and are based on the current business outlook:

(1) The estimate of our fiscal 2010 GAAP effective tax rate includes tax
expense of approximately $130 million that arises because deferred revenue
related to the 2008 license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in
fiscal 2010 but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years
when our state tax rate will be lower as a result of California tax legislation
enacted in 2009.

(2) Total reported device sales is the sum of all reported sales in U.S.
dollars (as reported to us by our licensees) of all licensed CDMA-based
subscriber devices (including handsets, modules, modem cards and other
subscriber devices) by our licensees during a particular period. As with our
prior estimates of CDMA-based device ASPs and unit shipments, the reported
quarterly estimated ranges of ASPs and unit shipments are determined based on
the information as reported to us by our licensees during the relevant period
and our own estimates of the selling prices and unit shipments for licensees
that do not provide such information. Not all licensees report sales, selling
prices and/or unit shipments the same (e.g., some licensees report selling
prices net of permitted deductions, such as transportation, insurance and
packing costs, while other licensees report selling prices and then identify
the amount of permitted deductions in their reports), and the way in which
licensees report such information may change from time to time.

permitted deductions in their reports), and the way in which licensees report
such information may change from time to time.

(2) As with our prior estimates of CDMA-based device ASPs and unit shipments,
the reported quarterly estimated ranges of ASPs and unit shipments are
determined based on the information as reported to us by our licensees during
the relevant period and our own estimates of the selling prices and unit
shipments for licensees that do not provide such information. Not all licensees
report selling prices and/or unit shipments the same (e.g., some licensees
report selling prices net of permitted deductions, such as transportation,
insurance and packing costs, while other licensees report selling prices and
then identify the amount of permitted deductions in their reports), and the way
in which licensees report such information may change from time to time.

(3) The midpoints of the estimated ASP and device shipment ranges for the
relevant periods are identified for comparison purposes only and do not
indicate a higher degree of confidence in the midpoints.






Note : Fiscal year device shipments by licensees occur in the September to June quarters and are reported to Qualcomm in the December to September fiscal quarters, one quarter in arrears.

Sums may not equal total due to rounding.

(1) Pro forma reconciling items related to revenues consist primarily of other
nonreportable segment revenues less intersegment eliminations. Pro forma
reconciling items related to earnings before taxes consist primarily of certain
investment income or losses, research and development expenses, sales and
marketing expenses and other operating expenses that are not allocated to the
segments for management reporting purposes, nonreportable segment results and
the elimination of intersegment profit.

(2) Certain share-based compensation is included in operating expenses as part
of employee-related costs but is not allocated to the Company's segments as
such costs are not considered relevant by management in evaluating segment
performance.

(3) During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded
$32 million and $33 million in state tax expense, respectively, or $0.02
diluted loss per share for each quarter, that arises because deferred revenue
related to the license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in
fiscal 2010 but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years
when the Company's state tax rate will be lower.

(4) At fiscal year-end, the sum of the quarterly tax provisions for each
column, including QSI, equals the annual tax provisions for each column
computed in accordance with GAAP. In interim quarters, the tax provision for
the QSI operating segment is computed by subtracting the pro forma tax
provision, the tax items column and the tax provision related to share-based
compensation from the GAAP tax provision.

(5) Fiscal 2009 results included a $783 million charge related to a litigation
settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom Corporation, including $748
million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and $35 million recorded
in the fourth quarter of 2009. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 results also
included a $230 million charge related to a fine that had been announced by the
Korea Fair Trade Commission.

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 (loss), net investment income (loss), income (loss) 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 share-based compensation, certain tax items and acquired in-process 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. 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 stock 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 that were recorded in reported earnings in each fiscal year presented, but were unrelated to the fiscal year in which they were recorded, are excluded in order to provide a clearer understanding of the Company's ongoing pro forma tax rate and after tax earnings. 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.

provision.

(e) During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded a $33 million
state tax expense, or $0.02 diluted loss per share, that arises because deferred
revenue related to the license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in
