Free Cash Flow

Just as your pulse is checked during a routine physical, free cash flow is used as an indicator of a company's health. It equals the cash brought in from operations minus the money needed to pay the bills. Think about leftover money in your checking account after you pay this month's bills.

Investors and analysts see this leftover money as a gauge of a company's ability to perform. It is available for transactions such as handing out dividends and working on new products.

Some argue free cash flow is wrongly overshadowed by the emphasis often placed on earnings. Earnings numbers can be manipulated and don't always tell the whole story -- and earnings don't mean much if there's nothing left over after a company pays its expenses. Even if you bring in a six-figure salary, but no money left after paying the bills, are you in great financial shape?

You don't have to be Einstein to figure out free cash flow. To calculate the number, subtract the company's expenditures and dividends from its operating cash flow.

If the free cash flow is written in red ink, it doesn't necessarily signal curtains. This is common for young companies looking to grow. It also could be a result of heavy investments, which in the long run could be worth a standing ovation.

   and US$0.01 loss per share attributable to acquired in-process R&D. (The sum of pro forma earnings per share and items
   excluded do not equal total Qualcomm (GAAP) earnings per share due to rounding.) -- Effective tax rate: 18 percent for the
   quarter. Fiscal 2008 estimated tax rate of approximately 19 percent. -- Free cash flow: US$844 million, down 14 percent year-over-year;
   31 percent of revenues (defined as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures). 

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 Qualcomm's Investor Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter as the migration to 3G-enabled products continues to accelerate," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chief executive officer of Qualcomm. "We delivered record revenues, up 19 percent year-over-year, and our pro forma earnings per share were at the high end of our prior estimate.

"I am also pleased to announce that we have reached a settlement agreement with Nokia that resolves all litigation between the companies and will allow both of us to focus our efforts on driving the global 3G and 4G markets forward. In addition to providing an up-front royalty payment and other benefits, Qualcomm will also receive ongoing royalties for all CDMA standards, as well as single-mode OFDMA. I look forward to providing our updated guidance tomorrow morning."

Cash and Marketable Securities

Qualcomm's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately US$11.2 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to US$10.6 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and US$12.3 billion a year ago. On July 16, 2008, we announced a cash dividend of US$0.16 per share payable on September 26, 2008 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 29, 2008.

Estimated Share-Based Compensation

Total Qualcomm (GAAP) net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 included estimated share-based compensation, net of tax, of US$94 million, or US$0.06 per diluted share. This compares to US$76 million, or US$0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

   31% N/M - Not Meaningful 

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 29 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, including lower-cost devices, the integration of wireless technologies 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.

Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 16 percent year-over-year, primarily attributable to an increase in certain professional fees, primarily related to patent activities, and employee-related expenses. QSI SG&A expenses were primarily related to MediaFLO USA.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Without the potential effect of our settlement agreement with Nokia, our fiscal 2008 effective income tax rates are estimated to be 16 percent for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and 19 percent for Qualcomm pro forma. The third quarter total Qualcomm (GAAP) and Qualcomm pro forma effective tax rates of 15 percent and 18 percent, respectively, are lower than the estimated annual effective tax rates, primarily due to the change in our estimate of foreign earnings taxed at less than the United States federal tax rate.

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 third quarter of fiscal 2008 included a US$0.04 loss per share for the QSI segment. The third quarter of fiscal 2008 QSI results included $88 million in operating expenses, primarily related to MediaFLO USA.

   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 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 US$331 million tax benefit, or US$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. N/M - Not Meaningful N/A - Not Applicable Sums may
   not equal totals due to rounding.

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 2008 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 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.

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 herein due to a number of factors, including but not limited to risks associated with: the rate of deployment of our technologies in wireless networks and of 3G wireless communications, equipment and services, including CDMA2000 1X, 1xEV-DO, WCDMA, HSPA and OFDMA both domestically and internationally; attacks on our business model, including results of current and future litigation and arbitration proceedings, as well as actions of governmental or quasi-governmental bodies, and the costs we incur in connection therewith, including potentially damaged relationships with customers and operators who may be impacted by the results of these proceedings; fluctuations in the demand for products, services or applications based on our technologies; our dependence on major customers and licensees; foreign currency fluctuations; strategic loans, investments and transactions we have or may pursue; our dependence on third-party manufacturers and suppliers; our ability to maintain and improve operational efficiencies and profitability; the development, deployment and commercial acceptance of the MediaFLO USA network and FLO(TM) technology; as well as the other risks detailed from time-to-time in our SEC reports.

   offset by US$27 million in other-than-temporary losses on investments and US$5 million in interest expense. (d) The effective
   tax rates for the nine months ended June 29, 2008 were approximately 16% for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and approximately 19% 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 nine months ended June 29, 2008, included herein. (g) Incremental
   tax benefits from stock options exercised during the period.
