Qualcomm Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2008 Results - Zibb.com

Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced results for the third fiscal quarter of 2008 ended June 29, 2008.

Qualcomm's third quarter fiscal 2008 earnings conference call has been rescheduled to Thursday, July 24, 2008, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (5:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time). Conference call details are included herein.

Total Qualcomm (GAAP) Third Quarter Results

Total Qualcomm results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

    --  Revenues:  $2.8 billion, up 19 percent year-over-year and 6 percent
        sequentially.
    --  Net income:  $748 million, down 6 percent year-over-year and 2 percent
        sequentially.
    --  Diluted earnings per share:  $0.45, down 4 percent year-over-year and
        sequentially.
    --  Effective tax rate:  15 percent for the quarter. Fiscal 2008 estimated
        tax rate of approximately 16 percent.
    --  Estimated share-based compensation:  $94 million, net of tax, up 24
        percent year-over-year and 7 percent sequentially.
    --  Operating cash flow:  $739 million, down 25 percent year-over-year; 27
        percent of revenues.
    --  Return of capital to stockholders:  $261 million, or $0.16 per share,
        of cash dividends paid.


Qualcomm Pro Forma Third Quarter Results

Pro forma results exclude the Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment, certain estimated share-based compensation, certain tax items related to prior years and acquired in-process research and development (R&D) expense.

    --  Revenues:  $2.8 billion, up 19 percent year-over-year and 6 percent
        sequentially.
    --  Net income:  $915 million, down 2 percent year-over-year and up 2
        percent sequentially.
    --  Diluted earnings per share:  $0.55, even year-over-year and up 2
        percent sequentially; excludes $0.04 loss per share attributable to
        the QSI segment, $0.06 loss per share attributable to certain
        estimated share-based compensation and $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:  $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 $11.2 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $10.6 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and $12.3 billion a year ago. On July 16, 2008, we announced a cash dividend of $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 $94 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. This compares to $76 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

    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.

    Year-over-year change($)   16%          20%         (23%)         13%



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 $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.

    (1)  Reconciling items related to revenues consist primarily of other
         nonreportable segment revenues less intersegment eliminations.
         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 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 $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 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.

    (b)  Included $15 million in net realized gains on investments and $3
         million interest and dividend income, partially offset by $12 million
         in other-than-temporary losses on investments, $2 million in equity
         in losses of investees and $2 million in interest expense.
    (c)  The third quarter of fiscal 2008 effective tax rates were
         approximately 15% for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and approximately 18% for
         Qualcomm pro forma.
    (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 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).
    (e)  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 June 29, 2008, included herein.
    (f)  Incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the
         period.

Devicescape and Deutsche Telekom Enable Easier Access for Users and Devices to T-Mobile Networks -

Devicescape Software and Deutsche Telekom AG, Europe's largest telecommunications company, today announced that they have integrated their services to enable easier access for users and more types of devices onto T-Mobile HotSpot networks. To make it convenient for Devicescape members to find and use the more than 10,000 plus T-Mobile HotSpot locations across Germany and Europe, Devicescape now sells service subscriptions and vouchers directly on members' account pages. By integrating T-Mobile HotSpot access directly into the Devicescape solution Deutsche Telekom can leverage the large base of Devicescape users to drive revenue and increase network usage.

"We have a growing member base of WiFi device owners who enjoy easy and seamless connections from all their devices across Europe," said Dave Fraser, CEO, Devicescape. "By offering a simple and convenient way to purchase T-Mobile HotSpot access from member account pages, we hope to make their WiFi experience even better and to increase the number of Devicescape members who use T-Mobile."

"By partnering with Devicescape earlier in the year, Deutsche Telekom showed its commitment to enabling as many WiFi devices as possible to enjoy seamless and secure access to the T-Mobile HotSpot network," said Andreas Morschhausen, Head of Product Management, Mobile Access, Deutsche Telekom. "Today we have taken a step to make access to T-Mobile HotSpot networks even easier for all Devicescape members and we look forward to future integrations that continue to improve consumers' experience of our service."

This announcement is the latest development in the partnership between the two companies that was made public at Mobile World Congress (Barcelona, Spain) in February 2008 which enables T-Home and T-Mobile users to enjoy automatic wireless access whenever they are within range of a T-Mobile HotSpot. (See the press release: Devicescape Forms Partnership with Deutsche Telekom to Bring Easy Access to a Wide Range of WiFi Enabled Devices.)

With many of Deutsche Telekom's 8,000 plus T-Mobile HotSpots located in Germany, relevant pages on the Devicescape website are now available in both English and German for maximum ease-of-use for German-speaking consumers. Access to the German language pages is via a German flag conveniently situated on the website's home page. Customers can purchase service subscriptions and vouchers via a simple "buy" button on the Devicescape website when they are looking to "add a hotspot" to increase their coverage.

The award-winning Devicescape solution eliminates the need for users to type in cumbersome login and password information and supports automatic login for devices with or without browsers. Devicescape also automates access at roaming partner hotspots further improving consumer experience, expanding coverage for travelers and building an important part of operator businesses. Additionally, operators that offer both cellular and WiFi access can use Devicescape to seamlessly shift users from costly and crowded cellular networks onto more cost-effective WiFi networks.

Devicescape is free for consumers and the software is available for popular devices at www.devicescape.com including Nokia Eseries and Nseries, Windows Mobile Smartphones, laptops with Mac OSX, Windows XP and Vista, and the iPhone and iPod touch -- with many more planned. Development partners can also work with the company to include the Devicescape service in their products.

Reportlinker.com Adds: Silverlight Mobile 2008 - Zibb.com

Reportlinker.com announced that a new market research report related to the Wireless industry is available in its catalogue, entitled "Silverlight Mobile 2008: Developing the Platform for the Future of Mobile Content."

In a release, Reportlinker.com noted that report highlights include:

When Microsoft creates a new product that it intends to roll out across its future operating systems to enable an enhanced multimedia experience from the internet, then web developers and the internet community need to pay attention. When Microsoft generates this capability for mobile phones in the same product, AND Nokia signs up to the service, then the telecoms industry needs to pay attention too. Do you know what Silverlight offers the mobile world? Do you know how it will be positioned against its competitors? Visiongain's latest report will tell you the answers.

With the moves towards a flat-fee for mobile internet access, rather than volume-based per Megabyte, and an ever-hungry multimedia audience, there is a drive for a new genre of mobile content that is richer and more engaging. Microsoft has identified the opportunity to develop and market a single mobile applications environment that reduces the existing fragmentation between different handsets. Can Silverlight be the preferred solution? Can Microsoft claim a share of the mobile content segment? You must find out the answer to this NOW and this report will tell you.

By reading this strategic and analytical report you will discover Silverlight addresses two areas of Microsoft's key strategic aims. Firstly it addresses Microsoft's goal of improving the "user experience capabilities." Secondly, the company is seeking to provide an end-to end development environment that encourages the use of Microsoft technologies and services. Microsoft's vision for Silverlight is to provide 'the' ubiquitous programming model. With such a wide pool of developers able to provide content for Silverlight there is an existing base of content, and with Microsoft's backing, can this product really fail? What impact will it have on the market?

OtterBox Partners With Cellnet: Custom Nokia Cases Reach New Markets - Zibb.com

FORT COLLINS, CO--(Marketwire - July 23, 2008) - Partnering with Cellnet Group Limited, a leading distributor of telecommunications, audio-visual and information technology in Australia and New Zealand, Otter Products, LLC. designs two custom cases, the OtterBox 1960 for Nokia 6233 models and the OtterBox 1961 for Nokia 6120 models. These Defender(TM) Series cases provide slim-fit protection from dust, dirt and drops while allowing complete user-interaction.

"OtterBox was contacted by Cellnet in November and we furthered discussions for the cases at the Consumer Electronics Show in January," said James Shelton, Channel Sales Manager at Otter Products, LLC. "The project was time-sensitive and in just eight weeks, we designed and produced several thousand custom cases. Our ability as a company to shift focus so quickly and provide quality cases was a win-win for both companies."

The custom designed OtterBox Nokia cases enable Cellnet's customer 3, Australia's first 3G mobile network, the ability to reach new markets that need extra protection for their devices. Cases are marketed on 3's website, in stores, call centers and the ground business sales force to help provide necessary protection in fast-paced or outdoor work environments.

"There is no other product like OtterBox on the market!" said Fernando Carrara, Business Manager, Proprietary Brands, Cellnet Group Limited. "The product was delivered way above our expectations."

"As the first cases for Nokia phones, we look forward to adding these to our growing line of portable electronic cases," said Brian Thomas, Director of Sales and Marketing, Otter Products, LLC. "Already working with Palm, RIM, HP, Samsung, Symbol and others, OtterBox is hopeful these two cases will lead to development of additional products for Nokia devices in the future."

Cases provide access to buttons, sync/charge, camera and headphone jack as well as three layers of protection:

-- Layer 1: Thermal formed protective clear membrane slides on to safeguard screen and keys from scratches, dirt and dust* (layer optional depending on the level of ruggedization desired) -- Layer 2: Hi-impact polycarbonate shell snaps together over the device -- Layer 3: Silicone skin wraps over the case to provide additional protection from bump and shock

Acoustical vents on both the speakerphone and side stereo speakers allow clear sound transmission through the case while keeping out dust and dirt. The fully interactive case protects while allowing complete access to all phone features including surfing the web, taking pictures and listening to music. The OtterBox 1960 and 1961 also come with a holster style swivel belt clip for easy-access carrying.
