* The second quarter of fiscal 2009 results reflected a US$748 million litigation settlement charge related to a settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom.

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 presented on Qualcomm’s Investor Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com.

“We delivered a strong quarter as the worldwide migration to 3G-enabled products and services remains robust,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. “Our revenues were at the high end of our prior guidance, and our operating income exceeded our prior guidance. Our financial results reflect a record quarter for MSM chipset shipments, strong licensing and royalty revenues based on healthy end market demand in the March quarter and a 5 percent year-over-year reduction in combined R&D and SG&A expenses.”

“Despite the global economic uncertainty, we anticipate another strong quarter for our chipset shipments in the fourth fiscal quarter. We believe the CDMA inventory channel has largely stabilized, yet remains near historically low levels consistent with our prior forecast. We are raising our fiscal 2009 revenue and operating income estimates given the strong underlying fundamentals of our business.”

Cash and Marketable Securities

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately US$15.7 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to US$14.0 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and US$11.2 billion a year ago. On July 8, 2009, we announced a cash dividend of US$0.17 per share, payable on September 25, 2009 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 28, 2009.

We recorded net other-than-temporary impairments of US$112 million, or approximately one percent of the recorded values of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 28, 2009. Our net unrealized losses on marketable securities decreased by US$873 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, due primarily to recent improvements in financial markets. As of June 28, 2009, we had net unrealized losses on marketable securities of US$25 million as compared to US$898 million as of March 29, 2009.

Research and Development (All amounts in US Dollars unless otherwise noted) Estimated Share-Based In-Process ($ in millions) Pro Forma Compensation R&D QSI GAAP ——— ———— ———- — —- Third quarter fiscal 2009 $523 $72 $- $23 $618 As a % of revenues 19% N/M 22% Third quarter fiscal 2008 $495 $64 $13 $24 $596 As a % of revenues 18% N/M 22% Year-over-year change($) 6% 13% N/M (4%) 4% N/M - Not Meaningful

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 6 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 related to our FLO TV(TM) subsidiary.

Selling, General and Administrative Estimated Share-Based ($ in millions) Pro Forma Compensation QSI GAAP ——— ———— —— —– Third quarter fiscal 2009 $285 $68 $24 $377 As a % of revenues 10% N/M 14% Third quarter fiscal 2008 $357 $65 $31 $453 As a % of revenues 13% N/M 16% Year-over-year change ($) (20%) 5% (23%) (17%)

Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by 20 percent year-over-year, primarily due to lower litigation-related activities and cost reduction efforts. QSI SG&A expenses were primarily related to FLO TV.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Our fiscal 2009 effective income tax rates are estimated to be 33 percent for GAAP and 29 percent for pro forma. The third quarter effective tax rate of 25 percent for both GAAP and pro forma differ from the annual rates due to a $748 million pre-tax litigation settlement charge recorded in the second fiscal quarter with a discrete tax benefit computed at a rate less than the United States federal rate.

Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives

The QSI segment is composed of our strategic investments, including our FLO TV subsidiary. GAAP results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 included a $0.02 loss per share for the QSI segment. The third quarter of fiscal 2009 QSI results included $86 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.

We expect that the uncertainty in the worldwide economy may continue to impact demand for CDMA-based products in various regions. In addition, the weakness in financial markets has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the value of our marketable securities and net investment income. 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 market conditions do not improve. Given the market volatility and the significant judgments involved, accurately forecasting other-than-temporary impairments associated with our marketable securities is extremely difficult and actual results could vary materially. As a result, while we are providing revenue, operating income and our other standard guidance, we are not providing earnings per share guidance.

Moreover, our outlook does not include provisions for the consequences of injunctions, damages or fines related to any pending legal matters. 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.

We are advised that the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) will issue a decision in our case shortly. This follows seven days of hearings which focused on claims contained in the Examiners’ Report charging that certain of our business practices in South Korea were anticompetitive. The practices at issue relate to integration of certain functions on our chips as well as rebates and discounts offered to our customers. The KFTC may order modifications to some or all of those practices. However, until the order is issued, we are unable to assess any impact. We are also anticipating that the KFTC will impose a fine and, while we cannot estimate the amount or a reasonable range of potential loss, we expect it will be substantial and could have a material impact on our results of operations. This by no means reflects our view of the merits of the case. We firmly believe that our practices do not violate South Korean competition law, are grounded in sound business practice and are consistent with our customers’ desires. In the event of an adverse decision and the issuance of a formal order, which may take a number of months, we will seek a stay and pursue all avenues of appeal.

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:

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 a litigation settlement expense 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) 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 provisions related to estimated share-based compensation and in-process R&D from the GAAP tax provision. (4) The second quarter of fiscal 2009 included a $748 million litigation settlement charge related to a settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom. (5) During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a tax expense related to the adjustment of net deferred tax assets that were recorded in prior years to reflect the future impact of California budget legislation enacted on February 20, 2009.

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 estimated share-based compensation, certain tax items related to prior years 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. Estimated 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 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 related to prior years are excluded in order to provide a clearer understanding of the Company’s ongoing pro forma tax rate and after tax earnings. The Company decided to include the benefit of the retroactive extension of the federal research and development tax credit in pro forma results starting in fiscal 2009 because it recurs with relative frequency and would have been included in the Company’s pro forma results for the prior year if it had been reenacted in the prior fiscal year. 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 $130 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, $73 million in net realized gains on investments, partially offset by $7 million losses on derivatives and $5 million in interest expense. (b) Included $17 million in net realized gains on investments and $2 million in interest and dividend income, partially offset by $3 million in interest expense and $1 million in equity in losses of investees. (c) The third quarter effective tax rate of 25% for both GAAP and pro forma differ from the annual rates of 33% and 29%, respectively, primarily due to a $748 million pre-tax litigation settlement charge recorded in the second fiscal quarter with a discrete tax benefit computed at a rate less than the United States federal rate. (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 provisions related to estimated share-based compensation and in-process R&D from the GAAP tax provision.
