                     Raises 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 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(TM) 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:

         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

       (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.

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
