Detailed reconciliations between total Qualcomm (GAAP) results and
cash flow and Qualcomm pro forma results and cash flow 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 report another strong quarter as the demand for
CDMA-based devices, applications and services continues to accelerate
around the world," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chief executive officer
of Qualcomm. "We continue to work closely with our partners to
successfully provide the innovative wireless products and services
consumers demand. Our results reflect another record quarter of
chipset shipments and a 21 percent year-over-year growth in both
revenues and pro forma earnings per share."
"Our continued focus on execution allows us to deliver excellent
financial results despite the impact of defending our business model.
The fundamental drivers of our business remain strong, and based on
our current business outlook, we are pleased to reaffirm our fiscal
2008 pro forma earnings per share guidance."
Cash and Marketable Securities
Qualcomm's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
totaled approximately US$11.3 billion at the end of the first quarter
of fiscal 2008, compared to US$11.8 billion at the end of the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2007 and US$10.5 billion a year ago. As of December
30, 2007, US$670 million remained authorized for repurchases under
our stock repurchase program, net of a put option outstanding which
could require us to repurchase 2.5 million shares of our common stock
for approximately US$94 million. Since December 30, 2007, we have
repurchased and retired more than 17.7 million shares of our common
stock for approximately US$668 million. On January 16, 2008, we
announced a cash dividend of US$0.14 per share payable on March 28,
2008 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February
29, 2008.
Estimated Share-Based Compensation
Total Qualcomm (GAAP) net income for the first quarter of fiscal
2008 included estimated share-based compensation, net of tax, of
US$85 million or US$0.05 per diluted share. This compares to US$87
million, or US$0.05 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 18 percent year-over-year,
primarily due  to additional engineering resources for 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, including lower cost
devices, the integration of wireless with consumer electronics and
computing,  the convergence of multiband, multimode, multinetwork
products and  technologies, third party operating systems and
services platforms. QSI R&D  expenses were related to MediaFLO USA.

    Year-over-year change ($)                 9%      (6%)                5%
Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
increased 9 percent year-over-year, primarily attributable to an
increase in employee related expenses, partially offset by a decrease
in bad debt expense. QSI SG&A expenses were primarily related to
MediaFLO USA.
Effective Income Tax Rate
Our fiscal 2008 effective income tax rates are estimated to be 17
percent for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and 21 percent for Qualcomm pro
forma, consistent with our prior guidance. The first quarter Qualcomm
(GAAP) and pro forma effective tax rates of 18 percent and 22
percent, respectively, are higher than the expected annual effective
tax rates primarily due to the revaluation of deferred tax assets.
Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives
The QSI segment includes our strategic investments, including our
MediaFLO USA subsidiary, and related income and expenses. Total
Qualcomm (GAAP) results for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included
$0.01 loss per share for the QSI segment. The first quarter of fiscal
2008 QSI results included $66 million in operating expenses,
primarily related to MediaFLO USA.
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. 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. In addition, our outlook does not include provisions
for the consequences of injunctions or significant possible damages
or costs related to litigation matters unless damages have been
awarded by a court.
We are engaged in multiple disputes with Nokia Corp., including
arbitration over Nokia's obligation to pay royalties for the use of
certain of our patents. As a result, under generally accepted
accounting principles, we are not recording royalty revenue
attributable to Nokia's sales after April 9, 2007 until an arbitrator
(or court) awards damages or the disputes are otherwise resolved by
agreement with Nokia. We have excluded from our fiscal 2008 revenue
and earnings guidance our estimate of royalties which we believe
Nokia is required to report and pay to us under our existing license
agreement in fiscal 2008.
We continue to be engaged in litigation with Broadcom Corporation
in various forums. On December 31, 2007, the Federal District Court
in Santa Ana, California issued an injunction as to certain of our
products, while enjoining but mandating a limited license with
respect to other products. We continue the effort to design products
to avoid the claims of the patents found by the jury to infringe
Broadcom's patents. We have already announced that we expect devices
to be available before the end of the first calendar quarter of 2008
that incorporate our chipsets which do not include the accused
function of the 6,847,686 patent. We have filed a motion for stay and
a motion asking that the judge clarify certain portions of his
ruling, and we intend to appeal the adverse findings in this case. We
have included our estimate of the impact of this ruling in our
outlook for fiscal 2008.
The following table summarizes total Qualcomm (GAAP) and Qualcomm
pro forma guidance for the second fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2008
based on the current business outlook. The pro forma business outlook
provided below is presented in a manner that is consistent with the
presentation of pro forma results provided elsewhere herein.
The following estimates are approximations and are based on the
current business outlook:

    (2)We perform periodic audits of the royalties payable by our
       licensees. As a result of our audit process, we determined during
       the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 that total CDMA-based device
       shipments and average selling prices (ASPs) should be adjusted for
       certain periods. The adjustments related only to device shipments
       and ASPs and did not impact the amount or timing of our revenue.
       Historical units presented herein have been adjusted to reflect
       these adjustments.
    (3)Our fiscal 2007 results do not include royalty revenue attributable
       to Nokia's sales after April 9, 2007 which, as of November 14, 2007,
       we estimated to be approximately $0.05 diluted earnings per share.
    (4)We have excluded from our fiscal 2008 revenue and earnings guidance
       our estimate of royalties which we believe Nokia is required to
       report and pay to us under our existing license agreement in fiscal
       2008 which, as of December 20, 2007, we estimated to be
       approximately $0.25-$0.30 diluted earnings per share.
    Sums may not equal totals due to rounding.

    (1)  Reconciling items related to revenues consist primarily of other

         Reconciling items related to earnings before taxes consist primarily
         of certain investment income, research and development expenses and
         marketing 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

    (3)  At fiscal year-end, the sum of the quarterly tax provisions for each

         tax provision for the QSI operating segment is computed by
         subtracting the tax provision for Qualcomm pro forma, the tax items
         column and the tax provisions related to estimated share-based
         compensation and in-process R&D from the tax provision for total
         Qualcomm (GAAP).
    (4)  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a
         $331 million tax benefit, or $0.20 diluted earnings per share,
         related to tax expense recorded in prior years resulting from the
         completion of tax audits during the fourth fiscal quarter. The
         fiscal 2007 Qualcomm pro forma results excluded this tax benefit
         attributable to prior years.

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 2007  FORTUNE 500(R) company traded on The Nasdaq
Stock Market(R) under the ticker  symbol QCOM.
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, net investment
income, income before income taxes, effective tax rate, net income,
diluted earnings 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 Qualcomm
Strategic Initiatives (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 the valuation of options and other
share-based compensation as theoretical and unrelated to the
Company's operational performance. Further, share-based compensation
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. Moreover, it is generally not an expense that requires or will
require cash payment by the Company. Certain tax items related to
prior years are excluded in order to provide a clearer understanding
of the Company's ongoing 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 total Qualcomm (GAAP) results and Qualcomm
pro forma results and between total Qualcomm (GAAP) cash flow and
Qualcomm pro forma cash flow are presented herein.

    (a)  Estimated share-based compensation presented above and excluded from
         pro forma results did not include $1 million, net of tax, 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.
    (b)  Included $152 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, $71 million in
         net realized gains on investments and $2 million in gains on
         derivative instruments from net decreases in the fair value of the
         put option liabilities related to our share repurchase program,
         partially offset by $57 million in other-than-temporary losses on
         investments and $5 million in interest expense.
    (c)  Included $11 million in net realized gains on investments and $1
         million in interest and dividend income, partially offset by $2
         million in interest expense.
    (d)  The first quarter of fiscal 2008 tax rates were approximately 18%
         for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and approximately 22% for Qualcomm pro
         forma.
    (e)  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 tax provision for Qualcomm pro forma, the tax items
         column and the tax provisions related to estimated share-based
         compensation and in-process R&D from the tax provision for total
         Qualcomm (GAAP).
    (f)  Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating
         activities less capital expenditures.  Reconciliation of these
         amounts is included in the Reconciliation of Pro Forma Free Cash
         Flows to Total Qualcomm (GAAP) net cash provided by operating
         activities and other supplemental disclosures for the three months
         ended December 30, 2007, included herein.
    (g)  Incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the
         period.
