Revenues $1.36 Billion, EPS $0.33
Pro Forma Revenues $1.36 Billion, EPS $0.28

SAN DIEGO – July 20, 2005 – QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), a pioneer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 26, 2005.

Total QUALCOMM Third Quarter Results:

    Revenues: $1.36 billion, up 1 percent year-over-year and down 1 percent sequentially.
 
    Net income: $560 million, up 15 percent year-over-year and 5 percent sequentially.
 
    Diluted earnings per share: $0.33, up 14 percent year-over-year and 6 percent sequentially.
 
    Effective tax rate: approximately 18 percent for the quarter. Fiscal 2005 estimated tax rate is approximately 22 percent.
 
    Operating cash flow: $523 million, up 13 percent year-over year; 39 percent of revenue.
 
    Dividends: paid $147 million in cash dividends.
 
    Stock repurchase: in the third quarter, repurchased 20.9 million shares of stock at a net cost of $723 million; year-to-date, repurchased 27.1 million shares at a net cost of $953 million. Two outstanding put options, if exercised, will require us to repurchase an additional 11.5 million shares for a net cost of $389 million.

Pro Forma Defined

Consistent with the second quarter of 2005, pro forma results exclude the QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment and one-time tax benefits recorded in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2005, and are presented as if the “New Method”1 of recording royalties had been in use in the prior year.

 
1   The New Method of recording royalties is based solely on reports received from licensees for royalty bearing sales of equipment in the prior quarter. The Company adopted this New Method during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 on a prospective basis. Under the Prior Method of recording royalties, the Company recorded an estimate of earned royalties in the quarter preceding its receipt of licensee reports. Results under the New Method are presented herein to assist investors with evaluating financial performance on a comparable basis.

Detailed reconciliations between total QUALCOMM results and QUALCOMM pro forma results and cash flows are included at the end of this news release. Prior period reconciliations are presented on our Investor Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com.

“We are pleased to increase our fiscal year earnings projections, primarily as a result of greater shipments of higher priced WCDMA handsets reflected in our June results. Volume shipments of WCDMA and 1xEV-DO MSMs have increased substantially year-over-year and sequentially, and we look forward to further increases in the quarters ahead. We are projecting continued acceleration in WCDMA and 1xEV-DO shipments toward the end of 2005 and beyond as exciting new handsets in a broad range of price points enable operators to address a larger segment of their subscriber base,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, CEO of QUALCOMM.

“QUALCOMM’s third generation (3G) products and technologies have helped create a wireless value chain that has grown revenues for QUALCOMM and our partners: wireless content providers, application developers, manufacturers and wireless operators. With the launch of MSM7500, we are providing our partners with an even more powerful hardware platform to build new services that will change the way consumers think about their wireless phone.”

“We have increased our research and development investment year-over-year to capitalize on the opportunities afforded by the continued and significant transition to 3G. Our efforts have resulted in

 


 

QUALCOMM Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2005 Results   Page 3 of 21

extensive enhancements to fundamental CDMA performance through the development and use of inventions related to diversity receivers, interference cancellation, equalizers, and multi-carrier radios. In addition, we have continued our long history of innovation by developing compelling new technologies, such as 1xEV-DO Gold Multicast, Platinum Multicast and the FLO air interface, that can greatly improve the efficient use of operators’ spectrum and enable multimedia services to be made available to the mass market at affordable prices. QUALCOMM remains focused on bringing new services and features to market through innovation in technologies, products and services, and driving down the costs of this innovation through integration in our chips.”

Cash and Marketable Securities

QUALCOMM’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $7.9 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $7.6 billion on September 26, 2004 and $7.0 billion on June 27, 2004. During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we paid cash dividends of $147 million and repurchased shares of stock at a net cost of $723 million.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $259 million in the third fiscal quarter, up 34 percent year-over-year and 3 percent sequentially, largely attributable to increased headcount related to development of integrated circuit products and initiatives to support lower cost solutions, multimedia applications, high-speed wireless Internet access and multimode, multiband, multinetwork products, including CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, WCDMA and HSDPA. R&D expenses include $13 million attributable to MediaFLO USA in the QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment, as compared to $7 million in the prior year quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $150 million in the third fiscal quarter, down 4 percent year-over-year and 3 percent sequentially.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Our fiscal 2005 effective income tax rate for total QUALCOMM is now estimated to be approximately 22 percent, compared to our previous estimate of approximately 24 percent. The decrease in our estimated annual effective tax rate for total QUALCOMM is primarily the result of

 


 

QUALCOMM Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2005 Results   Page 4 of 21

our increased ability to use capital loss carryforwards as well as an election to compute our California tax on the basis of our U.S. operations only. Since these benefits were recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 of approximately 18% for total QUALCOMM is lower than the estimated annual effective tax rate. Our fiscal 2005 pro forma effective tax rate is estimated to be approximately 28 percent, consistent with our previous estimate. For fiscal 2005 pro forma presentation we excluded $0.01 diluted earnings per share, for the benefit related to the California tax election attributable to fiscal 2004.

QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI)

The QSI segment includes our strategic investments and related income and expenses. The third quarter of fiscal 2005 results consisted primarily of a $48 million gain on our minority investment in a wireless publisher and $10 million of other income, partially offset by $22 million of operating expenses primarily related to MediaFLO USA and $7 million in equity in losses of investees. Total QUALCOMM results for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 include $0.05 diluted earnings per share for the QSI segment, compared to break-even QSI results in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

Business Outlook

The following statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Please see Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the end of this news release for a description of certain risk factors and QUALCOMM’s annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a more complete description of risks. Due to their nature, certain income and expense items such as realized investment gains or losses in QSI and asset impairments cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, the Company excludes forecasts of such items from its business outlook, and actual results may vary materially from the business outlook if the Company incurs any such income or expense items.

A pro forma outlook is provided consistent with the presentation of pro forma results provided elsewhere herein. Total QUALCOMM outlook for fiscal 2005 is compared to total QUALCOMM results for fiscal 2004 which reflect only partial economic performance of the Company’s licensing business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 due to the prospective change to the New Method during that period.

 


 

QUALCOMM Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2005 Results   Page 5 of 21

Our updated guidance, compared to our prior guidance, reflects an increase in the midpoint of our pro forma earnings per share estimates of $0.02 for fiscal 2005. In addition, we are decreasing the estimate for calendar 2005 handset shipments by approximately 5 percent which is largely attributable to our expectations that the sale of WCDMA handsets in Europe in the second half of the calendar year will be less than previously estimated for the year. Our handset shipment forecast will be discussed in more detail during our third quarter conference call. This call is scheduled for 2:30pm (PDT) on Wednesday July 20, 2005. Refer to conference call dial-in information included at the end of this press release.

(4)   QTL’s results in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 reflect the Company’s decision to make the prospective change to the New Method of recording royalties based solely on reports received from licensees for royalty bearing sales of equipment in the prior quarter. This change had the one-time effect of reducing royalty revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Results using the New Method of recording royalties are presented for prior periods to illustrate the differences between the Prior Method of recording royalties and the New Method implemented during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The QTL percentage increases over the prior year quarter on a GAAP basis are as follows: Q3 Revenues, 3% increase, Q3 EBT, 2% increase, year to date revenues, 14% increase, year to date EBT, 12% increase.
 
(5)   During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company decreased its estimate of R&D costs allocable to the Company’s foreign operations under an intercompany cost sharing agreement. Due to this change in estimate, the effective tax rate in the second quarter for total QUALCOMM includes a $55 million benefit, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share, related to fiscal 2004 and a $17 million benefit, or $0.01 diluted earnings per share, related to the first quarter of fiscal 2005. For fiscal 2005 pro forma presentation, results have been adjusted to exclude the tax benefit attributable to fiscal 2004.
 
(6)   During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company made an election to compute its California tax on the basis of its U.S. operations only, which resulted in a $38 million tax benefit. Our effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 for total QUALCOMM excluding QSI includes a $16 million tax benefit, or $0.01 diluted earnings per share, for this California tax election related to fiscal 2004. For fiscal 2005 pro forma presentation, results have been adjusted to exclude the tax benefit attributable to fiscal 2004.

Editor’s Note: if you would like additional information on QUALCOMM, please view the QUALCOMM press room at http://www.qualcomm.com/press/index.html .

QUALCOMM Incorporated (www.qualcomm.com) 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 500 Index and is a 2005 FORTUNE 500® company traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market® under the ticker symbol QCOM.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Pro forma financial measurements are used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company’s operating results, and the Company believes that pro forma reporting represents relevant and useful information that is widely used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in our industry. The Company presents pro forma financial information excluding the QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment to facilitate evaluation of its ongoing core operating businesses, including QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies (QCT), QUALCOMM Technology Licensing (QTL) and QUALCOMM Wireless & Internet (QWI). QSI results relate to strategic investments for which the Company has exit strategies of varying durations. Management believes that the information excluding QSI presents a more representative view of the operating and liquidity performance of the Company because it excludes the effect of fluctuations in value of investments that are unrelated to the Company’s operational performance.

The Company presents pro forma financial results as though the New Method of recording royalties had been in effect for prior periods to facilitate evaluation by management, investors and analysts of the results for these periods on a comparable basis to the Company’s current results, current guidance and future periods. The Company believes that this presentation is useful in evaluating performance on a consistent and comparable basis.

The Company presents pro forma results for fiscal 2005 excluding one-time tax benefits related to fiscal 2004 to provide management, as well as investors, a clearer understanding of its ongoing tax

 


 

QUALCOMM Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2005 Results   Page 12 of 21

rate and after tax earnings. The Company believes that this presentation is useful in evaluating performance on a consistent and comparable basis.

The Company’s management uses pro forma cash flow information including marketable securities to analyze increases and decreases in certain of its liquid assets, comprised of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Management views certain marketable securities as liquid assets available to fund operations, which result from cash management strategies designed to increase yields. However, these instruments do not meet the definition of cash equivalents in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows” and must be excluded from the GAAP statements of cash flows. Since the GAAP statements of cash flows reconcile the Company’s beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents balances, the purchases and sales of marketable securities are presented as inflows and outflows. For internal analysis of the Company’s cash position, management does not view these transactions as inflows and outflows from the business, but as cash management transactions. If required, such investments could be settled relatively quickly as additional cash resources are needed. The Company believes that this non-GAAP presentation is a helpful measure of the Company’s liquidity.

The non-GAAP pro forma financial information presented herein should be considered in addition, 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 total QUALCOMM results and QUALCOMM pro forma results and total QUALCOMM cash flow and QUALCOMM pro forma changes in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are presented herein.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
