QUALCOMM Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2003 Results
Wednesday July 23, 4:00 pm ET
Revenues $922 Million, EPS $0.23
Revenues $891 Million, EPS $0.33 Excluding QSI Segment


SAN DIEGO, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM - News) today announced its third quarter fiscal 2003 results ended June 29, 2003. Revenues were $922 million in the third fiscal quarter, up 20 percent year-over-year. Third quarter net income was $192 million, compared to a loss of $14 million year-over-year. Earnings per share were $0.23, compared to a loss of $0.02 per share year-over-year.

Revenues excluding the QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment were $891 million in the third fiscal quarter, up 24 percent year-over-year. Net income excluding the QSI segment was $267 million, up 38 percent year-over- year. Earnings per share excluding the QSI segment were $0.33, up 38 percent year-over-year. Detailed reconciliations between total QUALCOMM results and results excluding QSI are included at the end of this news release. Prior period reconciliations are presented on our Investor Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com .

"Our business generates excellent positive cash flows at the same time revenues and earnings continue to grow. As a result, our Board approved a 40 percent increase in cash dividends to return value to our shareholders," said Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, chairman and CEO of QUALCOMM. "During the third quarter, we announced several new multimode chips and the industry-leading MSM7xxx family of chips to further strengthen our product road map and support our customers."

"The China and India markets are gaining momentum, and we are encouraged by the performance of CDMA operators in the Americas, Japan and South Korea. During the quarter, Reliance Infocomm launched the first CDMA2000 1X nationwide commercial service in India, bringing advanced 3G wireless voice and data services to more than 250 cities. Reliance, Tata and the other CDMA operators in India totaled over three million subscribers at the end of June. China Unicom launched its prepaid service in several cities. VIVO in Brazil and China Unicom launched commercial BREW(TM) services, and BellSouth International has announced plans to commercially launch BREW in Latin America. Verizon Wireless in the U.S. reported impressive data revenues with its BREW-based Get It Now(SM) service. We believe these events, along with initial deployments of WCDMA in Japan and Europe, will set the stage for CDMA to capture a greater share of the total wireless market over the next year," Jacobs said.

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $136 million, including $1 million for QSI, in the third fiscal quarter, up 15 percent year-over year. The increase in R&D expenses compared to the year ago quarter was primarily related to QCT new product development efforts.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $117 million, including $8 million for QSI, in the third fiscal quarter, down 23 percent year-over-year. The decrease in SG&A expense compared to the year ago quarter was primarily due to reduced expenses at Vesper, including the effects of foreign currency fluctuations.

Our fiscal 2003 effective income tax rate is now estimated to be 45 percent, compared to 22 percent in fiscal 2002. The change in the estimated 2003 effective tax rate from 43 percent used in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 results in a 48 percent effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Excluding the QSI segment, our fiscal 2003 effective tax rate estimate remains at 33 percent, compared to 35 percent in fiscal 2002.

QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives

The QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment includes our strategic investments and related income and expenses. Vesper losses before taxes were $20 million in the third fiscal quarter compared to $35 million in the year ago quarter. The balance of the net loss before taxes in QSI was $7 million for the third fiscal quarter compared to $250 million in the year ago quarter. The third quarter of fiscal 2003 net loss included asset impairment charges related to the valuation of our Australian wireless licenses, other-than- temporary losses on investments, our share of equity losses from our investment in Inquam and impairment of a note receivable. Significant offsetting gains included the realization of value of a portion of our Auction Discount Voucher transferred to two wireless operators, realized interest income from our Pegaso investment and realized gains on the sale of marketable securities.

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.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2003
-- Based on the current business outlook, we anticipate that revenues
excluding the QSI segment in the fourth fiscal quarter will increase
by approximately 2-6 percent year-over-year. We anticipate that
earnings per share excluding the QSI segment will be approximately
$0.27-$0.29 in the fourth fiscal quarter, compared to $0.31 in the
year ago quarter. This estimate assumes shipments of approximately
19-21 million MSM phone chips during the quarter.

-- Based on the current business outlook, we anticipate that total
QUALCOMM revenues in the fourth quarter will increase by
approximately 2-6 percent year-over-year. We anticipate that total
QUALCOMM earnings per share will be approximately $0.19-$0.21 in the
fourth fiscal quarter, including an estimated $0.08 loss per share
attributed to the QSI segment, compared to $0.23 per share in the
year ago quarter. Due to their nature, certain income and expense
items such as realized gains or losses, gains or losses on
derivatives, income related to the use of our FCC Auction Discount
Voucher and asset impairments cannot be accurately forecast.
Accordingly, the Company excludes 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.

Fiscal 2003
-- Based on the current business outlook, we anticipate that revenues
excluding the QSI segment will grow by approximately 31-33 percent
year-over-year and earnings per share excluding the QSI segment to be
in the range of $1.40-$1.42 for fiscal 2003, up 43-45 percent year-
over-year. We estimate the CDMA phone market to be 103-108 million
units in calendar 2003, and we estimate a decrease of approximately
five percent in average selling prices of CDMA phones for fiscal
2003, upon which royalties are calculated.

-- Based on the current business outlook, we anticipate that total
QUALCOMM revenues will grow by approximately 30-31 percent year-over-
year and total QUALCOMM earnings per share to be in the range of
$0.84-$0.86 for fiscal 2003, up 91-95 percent year-over-year,
including an estimated $0.56 loss per share attributed to the QSI
segment. Due to their nature, certain income and expense items such
as realized gains or losses, gains or losses on derivatives, income
related to the use of our FCC Auction Discount Voucher and asset
impairments cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, the Company
excludes 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.


Cash and Marketable Securities

QUALCOMM's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $5.0 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to $4.4 billion on March 30, 2003, $3.9 billion on December 29, 2002 and $3.2 billion on September 29, 2002. We have invested $158 million in net stock repurchases and have paid $79 million in cash dividends since the inception of these programs in February 2003. QSI businesses required funding of $40 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, consistent with the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Collection of finance receivables from our Pegaso investment totaled $285 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Detailed reconciliations between total QUALCOMM cash and cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents including marketable securities and excluding the QSI segment are included at the end of this news release.

(1) Reconciling items related to revenues consist primarily of other
non-reportable segment revenues less intersegment eliminations.
Reconciling items related to earnings before taxes consist primarily
of corporate expenses, charges that are not allocated to the
segments for management reporting purposes, unallocated net
investment income, non-reportable segment results, interest expense
and the elimination of intercompany profit.
(2) Starting in fiscal 2003, the Company no longer records goodwill
amortization, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No.
142. In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, goodwill amortization and
other adjustments included $61.5 million of amortization of
goodwill, $4.0 million of amortization of intangible assets and
$2.3 million of payroll expenses on stock option exercises, offset
by $1.0 million of credits related to the reduction of reserves
established in connection with the Globalstar business and $0.2
million of credits and $0.1 million of revenues related to the sale
of the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless infrastructure business. In
the first nine months of fiscal 2002, goodwill amortization and
other adjustments included $183.8 million of amortization of
goodwill, $10.1 million of amortization of intangible assets and
$5.4 million of payroll expenses on stock option exercises, offset
by $3.1 million of credits related to the reduction of reserves
established in connection with the Globalstar business and
$0.3 million of credits and $0.1 million of revenue related to the
sale of the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless infrastructure business.
With the adoption of FAS 142 in 2003 and given the immateriality of
the other adjustments, the Company no longer makes these adjustments
to its results excluding QSI in fiscal 2003.
(3) The sum of the earnings per share amounts may not equal total
earnings per share due to rounding.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents financial information excluding the QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment to facilitate evaluation by management, investors and analysts 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.

Reconciliations between total QUALCOMM results and results excluding QSI and between total QUALCOMM cash flow and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities excluding the QSI segment 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: changing global economic conditions, particularly in the telecommunications and Internet-related industries and the resulting uncertainty in forecasting future results; timing and receipt of license fees and royalties; integrated circuit inventory and order levels; the Company's ability to execute additional 3G licenses; the scale-up, acceptance and operations of CDMA systems, including CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and systems in new markets such as China and India; the ability to sustain or improve operational efficiency and profitability; decreases in the rate of growth in CDMA-based wireless data and Internet access or the CDMA subscriber population; strategic investments, loans, acquisitions or divestitures the Company has or may pursue; the value realized on the sale of the Vesper Companies' business or assets; changes in the fair values of marketable securities and derivative instruments held; the development, deployment and commercial acceptance of evolving CDMA technology standards; developments in current or future litigation; customer receivables and performance guarantees; component shortages; and international business activities, as well as the other risks detailed from time-to-time in the Company's SEC reports.

(c) The Company's management uses this non-GAAP presentation to analyze
increases and decreases in certain of its liquid assets, comprised of
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Management views
certain marketable debt 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 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.
