Pro forma R&D expenses increased 4 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, and other initiatives to support the acceleration of advanced wireless products and services. QSI R&D expenses were primarily related to our FLO TV™ subsidiary.

Year-over-year change ($)	13%	(4%)	(208%)	(5%)

Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 13 percent year-over-year primarily due to an increase in patent-related costs. Third quarter fiscal 2010 QSI SG&A expenses included a $62 million gain on the sale of our Australia spectrum license. Other QSI SG&A expenses increased by $12 million primarily due to selling and marketing expenses related to FLO TV.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Our fiscal 2010 effective income tax rates are estimated to be approximately 20 percent for GAAP and approximately 20 to 21 percent for pro forma. Our estimate of the fiscal 2010 GAAP effective tax rate includes tax expense of approximately $130 million that arises because deferred revenue related to the 2008 license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in fiscal 2010, but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years when our state tax rate will be lower as a result of California tax legislation enacted in 2009. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded $20 million of tax expense as a result of prior year tax audits completed during the third fiscal quarter. The tax expense related to these items was excluded from our pro forma results to provide a clearer understanding of our ongoing tax rate and after tax earnings.

Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives

The QSI segment is composed of our strategic investments, including FLO TV and the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum recently won in the auction in India. GAAP results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 included a net loss of $4 million for the QSI segment. The third quarter of fiscal 2010 QSI results included $118 million in operating expenses, primarily related to FLO TV, partially offset by a $62 million gain on the sale of our Australia spectrum license. In June 2010, in connection with the India BWA spectrum purchase, we entered into a bank loan agreement that is payable in full in Indian rupees in December 2010. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the carrying value of the loan was $1.06 billion.

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.

Our outlook does not include provisions for the consequences of injunctions, damages or fines related to any pending legal matters unless awarded or imposed by a court, governmental entity or other regulatory body. 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.

The following table summarizes GAAP and pro forma guidance based on the current business outlook. The pro forma business outlook presented below is consistent with the presentation of pro forma results elsewhere herein.

The following estimates are approximations and are based on the current business outlook:

(1) The estimate of our fiscal 2010 GAAP effective tax rate includes tax expense of approximately $130 million that arises because deferred revenue related to the 2008 license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in fiscal 2010 but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years when our state tax rate will be lower as a result of California tax legislation enacted in 2009.
(2) Total reported device sales is the sum of all reported sales in U.S. dollars (as reported to us by our licensees) of all licensed CDMA-based subscriber devices (including handsets, modules, modem cards and other subscriber devices) by our licensees during a particular period. The reported quarterly estimated ranges of ASPs and unit shipments are determined based on the information as reported to us by our licensees during the relevant period and our own estimates of the selling prices and unit shipments for licensees that do not provide such information. Not all licensees report sales, selling prices and/or unit shipments the same (e.g., some licensees report selling prices net of permitted deductions, such as transportation, insurance and packing costs, while other licensees report selling prices and then identify the amount of permitted deductions in their reports), and the way in which licensees report such information may change from time to time. Total reported device sales, estimated unit shipments and estimated ASPs for a particular period may include prior period activity that is reported with the activity for the particular period. For results using assumptions in effect for quarters prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2010, please refer to the "Changes to QTL Metrics" table of our April 21, 2010 earnings release that was furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K.

(1) Pro forma reconciling items related to revenues consist primarily of other nonreportable segment revenues less intersegment eliminations. 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 other operating 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) During the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $32 million, $33 million and $32 million in state tax expense, respectively, or $0.02 diluted loss per share for each quarter, that arises because deferred revenue related to the license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in fiscal 2010 but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years when the Company's state tax rate will be lower. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $22 million of tax expense, or $0.01 diluted loss per share, as a result of prior year tax audits completed during the third quarter.
(4) 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 provision related to share-based compensation from the GAAP tax provision.
(5) Fiscal 2009 results included a $783 million charge related to a litigation settlement and patent agreement with Broadcom Corporation, including $748 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and $35 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 results also included a $230 million charge related to a fine that had been announced by the Korea Fair Trade Commission.

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 share-based compensation, certain tax items 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. 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. Further, share-based compensation related to stock 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 that were recorded in reported earnings in each fiscal year presented, but were unrelated to the fiscal year in which they were recorded, are excluded in order to provide a clearer understanding of the Company's ongoing pro forma 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 GAAP results and pro forma results are presented herein.

(a) Included $127 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, and $78 million in net realized gains on investments, partially offset by $28 million in other-than-temporary losses on investments, $5 million in interest expense and $2 million in losses on derivatives.
(b) Included $14 million in net realized gains on investments, $4 million in interest and dividend income related to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $1 million in equity in earnings of investees, partially offset by $9 million in interest expense and $1 million in other-than-temporary losses on investments.
(c) The third quarter of fiscal 2010 effective tax rates were 21% for GAAP and 19% for 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 pro forma tax provision, the tax items column and the tax provision related to share-based compensation from the GAAP tax provision.
(e) During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded (i) a $32 million state tax expense, or $0.02 diluted loss per share, that arises because deferred revenue related to the license and settlement agreements with Nokia is taxable in fiscal 2010 but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years when the Company's state tax rate will be lower, and (ii) a $22 million tax expense, or $0.01 diluted loss per share, as a result of prior year tax audits completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
(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 Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (GAAP) and other supplemental disclosures for the three months ended June 27, 2010, included herein.
(g) Incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the period.
(h) The third quarter of fiscal 2010 tax benefit related to share-based compensation includes a $2 million tax benefit as a result of prior year tax audits completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
