Pro forma R&D expenses increased 4 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, and other initiatives
to support the acceleration of advanced wireless products and services. QSI
R&D expenses were primarily related to our FLO TV(TM) subsidiary.

Year-over-year change ($) 13% (4%) (208%) (5%)
Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased
13 percent year-over-year primarily due to an increase in patent-related
costs. Third quarter fiscal 2010 QSI SG&A expenses included a $62 million
gain on the sale of our Australia spectrum license. Other QSI SG&A expenses
increased by $12 million primarily due to selling and marketing expenses
related to FLO TV.
Effective Income Tax Rate
Our fiscal 2010 effective income tax rates are estimated to be
approximately 20 percent for GAAP and approximately 20 to 21 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. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we
recorded $20 million of tax expense as a result of prior year tax audits
completed during the third fiscal quarter. The tax expense related to these
items 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 and the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum recently won in the
auction in India. GAAP results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 included
a net loss of $4 million for the QSI segment. The third quarter of fiscal
2010 QSI results included $118 million in operating expenses, primarily
related to FLO TV, partially offset by a $62 million gain on the sale of our
Australia spectrum license. In June 2010, in connection with the India BWA
spectrum purchase, we entered into a bank loan agreement that is payable in
full in Indian rupees in December 2010. At the end of the third quarter of
fiscal 2010, the carrying value of the loan was $1.06 billion.
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.
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 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. 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. Total reported
device sales, estimated unit shipments and estimated ASPs for a
particular period may include prior period activity that is reported
with the activity for the particular period. For results using
assumptions in effect for quarters prior to the second quarter of
fiscal 2010, please refer to the "Changes to QTL Metrics" table of
our April 21, 2010 earnings release that was furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K.

(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, second and third quarters of fiscal 2010, the
Company recorded $32 million, $33 million and $32 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. During the third quarter
of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $22 million of tax expense, or
$0.01 diluted loss per share, as a result of prior year tax audits
completed during the third quarter.
(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. 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.

(a) Included $127 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 $78
million in net realized gains on investments, partially offset by
$28 million in other-than-temporary losses on investments, $5
million in interest expense and $2 million in losses on derivatives.
(b) Included $14 million in net realized gains on investments, $4
million in interest and dividend income related to cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities and $1 million in equity in
earnings of investees, partially offset by $9 million in interest
expense and $1 million in other-than-temporary losses on

(c) The third quarter of fiscal 2010 effective tax rates were 21%
for GAAP and 19% for pro forma.
(d) At fiscal year-end, the sum of the quarterly 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 third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded
(i) 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, and (ii) a $22 million
tax expense, or $0.01 diluted loss per share, as a result of prior
year tax audits completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
(f) Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating
