“Broadcom executed well in the third quarter, generating revenue growth of over 20% sequentially for the second quarter in row,” said Scott A. McGregor, Broadcom’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This strong revenue growth is well above the semiconductor industry growth rate, and was driven by a combination of our target markets continuing to recover, new product ramps and the breadth of Broadcom’s product line.”
“In addition, Broadcom was successful in generating strong sequential gross and operating margin leverage and cash flow from operations in the quarter. The third quarter spending included an unforecasted increase in performance-based compensation, which grew significantly due to Broadcom’s strong operating performance, showing our continued focus on generating positive financial leverage.”

Cautions regarding Forward Looking Statements:
All statements included or incorporated by reference in this release and the related conference call for analysts and investors, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, guidance provided on future revenue, gross product margin and operating expense targets for the fourth quarter of 2009. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
  •   general economic and political conditions and specific conditions in the markets we address, including the continuing volatility in the technology sector and semiconductor industry, the recent global economic recession, trends in the broadband communications markets in various geographic regions, including seasonality in sales of consumer electronic products into which our products are incorporated, and possible disruption in commercial activities related to terrorist

In the event that the company’s coverage under these policies is reduced or denied or if the proposed partial settlement of the federal derivative litigation does not receive final court approval, our financial exposure would be increased;
