    N/M - Not Meaningful

Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 23 percent y-o-y primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses and costs relating to legal matters.

Effective Income Tax Rates

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the effective income tax rates for GAAP and Non-GAAP were both 18 percent. Starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, our fiscal 2013 annual effective income tax rates are estimated to be approximately 16 percent for GAAP and approximately 17 to 18 percent for Non-GAAP, which include the recent retroactive extension of the federal R&D tax credit. The R&D tax credit benefit related to fiscal 2012 that will be recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 will be excluded from Non-GAAP results.

QSI Segment

QSI makes strategic investments, many of which are in early-stage companies, and holds wireless spectrum. GAAP results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included $0.01 loss per share for QSI.

Business Outlook

The following statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. The "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in 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 future asset impairments or for pending legal matters, other than future legal amounts that are probable and estimable. Further, due to their nature, certain income and expense items, such as realized investment and certain derivative gains or losses, cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, we only include such items in our business outlook to the extent they are reasonably certain; however, actual results may vary materially from the business outlook.

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

    (1)            Q2 FY12 and FY 2012 results for QSI
                   and GAAP included $0.44 EPS
                   related to a $1.2 billion gain
                   associated with the sale of
                   substantially all of our 700 MHz
                   spectrum, which was recognized in

    (2)            In the second quarter of fiscal
                   2013, we expect to record a tax
                   benefit as a result of the
                   retroactive extension of the
                   federal R&D tax credit related to
                   fiscal 2012 of approximately $0.04
                   per share, which will be excluded
                   from Non-GAAP results.

                   particular period (collectively,
                   3G/4G devices).  The reported
                   quarterly estimated ranges of
                   average selling prices (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

                   or unit shipments the same way

                   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.

                   activity that was not reported by
                   the licensee until such particular
                   period.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Non-GAAP 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, "Non-GAAP" is not a term defined by GAAP, and as a result, the Company's measure of Non-GAAP results might be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP results are presented herein.

The Company uses Non-GAAP financial information (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 QCT, QTL and QWI segments; and (iii) to compare the performance and efficiency of these segments against each other and against competitors outside the Company. Non-GAAP measurements of the following financial data are used by the Company: revenues, cost of revenues, R&D expenses, SG&A expenses, other 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. The Company 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 Non-GAAP 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 Non-GAAP financial measures applicable to the Company and its business segments. The Company presents Non-GAAP financial information to provide greater transparency to investors with respect to its use of such information in financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP information used by management excludes QSI, certain share-based compensation, certain acquisition-related items and certain tax items.


    --  QSI 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 and realized gains or losses are viewed by
        management as unrelated to the Company's operational performance.
    --  Share-based compensation expense primarily relates to restricted stock
        units and stock options.  Certain share-based compensation is excluded
        because management views such expenses as unrelated to the operating
        activities of the Company's ongoing core business.  Further, the fair
        values of share-based awards are affected by factors that are variable
        on each grant date, which may include the Company's stock price, stock
        market volatility, expected award life, risk-free interest rates and
        expected dividend payouts in future years.
    --  Acquisition-related items relate to amortization and impairment charges
        of certain intangible assets, recognition of the step-up of inventories
        to fair value and the related tax effects of these items starting with
        acquisitions completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as well as
        any tax effects from restructuring the ownership of such acquired
        assets.  Additionally, starting with acquisitions completed in the
        fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company began excluding expenses
        related to the termination of contract(s) that limit the use of the
        acquired intellectual property.  These certain acquisition-related items
        are excluded and are not allocated to the Company's segments because
        management views such expenses as unrelated to the operating activities
        of the Company's ongoing core business.  In addition, these charges are
        impacted by the size and timing of acquisitions, potentially obscuring
        period to period comparisons of the Company's operating businesses.
    --  Certain tax items that were recorded in each fiscal year presented, but
        that 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 Non-GAAP tax rate and after tax earnings.

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 stockholder 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 and to compare its operating performance with other companies in the industry.
