Qualcomm Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Revenues US$2.7 Billion, EPS US$0.50
Pro Forma EPS US$0.62
Reaffirms Fiscal 2010 Earnings Guidance
Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator
of advanced wireless technologies, products and services, today announced
results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 ended December 27, 2009.
"We are pleased with our performance this quarter, driven by healthy
demand for our chipsets, strong shipments of 3G devices by our licensees and
lower operating expenses. We're executing on our strategic objectives and
reaffirming our 2010 3G device forecast, an increase of 21 percent
year-over-year," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. "I am
very encouraged by customer traction around Qualcomm technologies, including
recent device announcements based on our industry-leading Snapdragon(TM)
chipset and increased adoption of our Brew Mobile Platform(TM) operating
system. As anticipated, we have seen a competitive pricing environment in the
chipset market and are proactively managing within this dynamic to grow our
market share. A subdued economic recovery in developed regions, including
Europe and Japan, combined with relative strength at the lower end of the
market, is changing our estimated 3G device average selling price and chipset
mix for this fiscal year. Accordingly, we are modestly reducing our fiscal
year revenue estimates to reflect this near-term market situation, but are
maintaining our earnings per share guidance."
"The fundamental drivers of our business remain strong. We are confident
that 3G will continue to develop as anticipated, and we continue to invest in
innovative new products, such as Snapdragon, FLO TV(TM), mirasol(TM) and
next-generation technologies, to enhance our leadership position and
capitalize on this growth."
First Quarter Results (GAAP)
- Revenues: US$2.67 billion, up 6 percent year-over-year and down 1 percent
sequentially.
- Operating income: US$879 million, up 18 percent year-over-year and 47
percent sequentially.
- Net income: US$841 million, up 147 percent year-over-year and 5 percent
sequentially.
- Diluted earnings per share: US$0.50, up 150 percent year-over-year and 4
percent sequentially.
- Effective tax rate: 20 percent for the quarter. Fiscal 2010 estimated tax
rate of approximately 21 percent.
- Operating cash flow: US$1.24 billion, down 65 percent year-over-year; 46
percent of revenues.
- Return of capital to stockholders: US$284 million, or US$0.17 per share,
of cash dividends paid.
Pro Forma First Quarter Results
Pro forma results exclude the Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI)
segment, certain share-based compensation, certain tax items that are not
related to the current year and acquired in-process research and development
(R&D) expense.
-
Revenues: US$2.67 billion, up 6 percent year-over-year and down 1 percent
sequentially.
- Operating income: US$1.13 billion, up 15 percent year-over-year and 36
percent sequentially.
- Net income: US$1.04 billion, up 100 percent year-over-year and 28 percent
sequentially.
- Diluted earnings per share: US$0.62, up 100 percent year-over-year and 29
percent sequentially. The current quarter excludes US$0.03 loss per share
attributable to the QSI segment, US$0.07 loss per share attributable to
certain share-based compensation and US$0.02 loss per share attributable
to certain tax items.
- Effective tax rate: 21 percent for the quarter. Fiscal 2010 estimated tax
rate of approximately 21 to 22 percent.
- Free cash flow: US$1.27 billion, down 63 percent year-over-year; 48
percent of revenues (defined as net cash from operating activities less
capital expenditures).
The large increase in net income year-over-year was primarily due to a
significant improvement in net investment income as our marketable securities
recovered value and financial markets stabilized. The significant decrease in
cash flows year-over-year was primarily due to the receipt of a US$2.5
billion payment in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 related to the license
and settlement agreements with Nokia.
Detailed reconciliations between results reported in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and pro forma results are
included at the end of this news release. Prior period reconciliations are
Cash and Marketable Securities
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled
approximately US$18.9 billion at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010,
compared to US$17.7 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009
and US$13.1 billion a year ago. On January 7, 2010, we announced a cash
dividend of US$0.17 per share payable on March 26, 2010 to stockholders of
record as of February 26, 2010.

Pro forma R&D expenses primarily related to the development of integrated

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.

Year-over-year change ($) (11%) 3% (7%) (8%)
Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased
by 11 percent year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in costs related to
litigation and other legal matters. QSI SG&A expenses were primarily 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 US$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 first quarter of fiscal 2010 included a US$0.03
diluted loss per share for the QSI segment. The first quarter of fiscal 2010
QSI results included US$106 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.
The potential instability in financial markets 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 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.
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. 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.
The following estimates are approximations and are based on the current
business outlook:

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.
(3) The estimate of our fiscal 2010 GAAP effective tax rate includes
tax expense of approximately $130 million that arises because

(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 quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded a
$32 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 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.

release and conference call, please go to the Qualcomm Investor Relations
Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) is a leader in developing and
delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services
based on CDMA and other advanced technologies. Headquartered in San Diego,
Calif., Qualcomm is included in the S&P 100 Index, the S&P 500 Index and is a
2009 FORTUNE 500(R) company. For more information, please visit
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.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to the historical information contained herein, this news
release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from those referred to
herein due to a number of factors, including but not limited to risks

(a) Included $145 million in interest and dividend income related to
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which were not part
of the Company's strategic investment portfolio, and $91 million in
net realized gains on investments, partially offset by $51 million in
other-than-temporary losses on investments, $5 million in interest
expense and $4 million in losses on derivatives.
(b) Included $6 million in other-than-temporary losses on investments,
$4 million in interest expense and $4 million in equity in losses of
investees, partially offset by $11 million in net realized gains on
investments.
(c) The first quarter of fiscal 2010 effective tax rates were
approximately 20% for GAAP and approximately 21% for pro forma.
(d) 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.
(e) During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded a $32
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 fiscal 2010 but the resulting
deferred tax asset will reverse in future years when the Company's
state tax rate will be lower.
(f) Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating
activities less capital expenditures. Reconciliation of these
amounts is included in the Reconciliation of Pro Forma Free Cash
Flows to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (GAAP) and other
supplemental disclosures for the three months ended December 27,
2009, included herein.
(g) Incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the
period.
