    N/M - Not Meaningful

Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 19 percent y-o-y primarily due to decreases in costs related to litigation and other legal matters, employee-related expenses and patent-related expenses.

Effective Income Tax Rates

Our fiscal 2014 annual effective income tax rates are estimated to be 16 percent for GAAP and Non-GAAP, both of which include an estimate of the United States federal R&D tax credit generated through December 31, 2013, the date on which the credit expired. Our estimated annual tax rates decreased from our prior estimate primarily as a result of an increase in our estimate of foreign income taxed at rates lower than rates in the United States, which was partially the result of an agreement recently reached with the Internal Revenue Service related to transfer pricing. Also as a result of this agreement, we expect to record a tax benefit of approximately $65 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 related to our fiscal 2013 tax return, which will be excluded from Non-GAAP results and is excluded from our guidance.

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 outlook to the extent they are reasonably certain; however, actual results may differ materially from the outlook.

Our outlook for fiscal 2014 diluted earnings per share includes an estimate of the benefit related to approximately $2 billion in stock repurchases that we plan to complete over the remainder of fiscal 2014 under our current stock repurchase program.

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

             (1)   Our current outlook for the third
                   quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal
                   2014 GAAP diluted EPS excludes a tax
                   benefit of approximately $65 million
                   that we expect to record in the
                   third quarter of fiscal 2014 as a
                   result of an agreement reached with
                   the Internal Revenue Service, which
                   will be excluded from our Non-GAAP
                   results.

             (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, OFDMA-based and CDMA/OFDMA
                   multimode subscriber devices
                   (including handsets, modules, modem
                   cards and other subscriber devices)
                   by our licensees during a 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
                   information.  Not all licensees
                   report sales, selling prices and/or
                   unit shipments the same way (e.g.,
                   some licensees report sales net of
                   permitted deductions, including
                   transportation, insurance, packing
                   costs and other items, while other
                   licensees report sales 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 was not reported by
                   the licensee until such particular
                   period.

             (3)   Our prior and current outlook for
                   fiscal 2014 diluted EPS includes an
                   estimate of the benefit related to
                   stock repurchases that we plan to
                   complete during the fiscal year and
                   reflects an annual effective tax
                   rate that includes an estimate of
                   the United States federal R&D tax
                   credit generated through December
                   31, 2013, the date on which the
                   credit expired.

             (4)   The midpoints of the estimated
                   calendar year ranges are identified
                   for comparison purposes only and do
                   not indicate a higher degree of
                   confidence in the midpoints.

             (1)   Non-GAAP reconciling items related
                   to revenues consisted primarily of
                   nonreportable segment revenues
                   less intersegment eliminations.
                   Non-GAAP reconciling items
                   related to earnings before taxes
                   consisted primarily of certain
                   costs of equipment and services
                   revenues, research and development
                   expenses, sales and marketing
                   expenses, other operating expenses
                   and certain investment income or
                   losses and interest expense that
                   are not allocated to the segments
                   for management reporting purposes;
                   nonreportable segment results; and
                   the elimination of intersegment
                   profit.

             (2)   During the first quarter of fiscal
                   2014, as a result of the
                   reassessment of management
                   reporting, the Qualcomm Wireless &
                   Internet (QWI) segment was
                   eliminated. Revenues and operating
                   results for the divisions that
                   comprised the QWI segment are
                   included in Non-GAAP reconciling
                   items. Prior period information
                   has been adjusted to conform to
                   the current presentation.

             (3)   At fiscal year end, the sum of the
                   quarterly tax provision (benefit)
                   for each column equals the annual
                   tax provision (benefit) for each
                   column computed in accordance with
                   GAAP. In interim quarters, the sum
                   of these provisions (benefits) may
                   not equal the total GAAP tax
                   provision, and this difference is
                   allocated to tax provisions
                   (benefits) among the columns.

             (4)   During the first quarter of fiscal
                   2014, a gain of $665 million was
                   recorded associated with the sale
                   of substantially all of the
                   operations of our Omnitracs
                   division.

Conference Call

Qualcomm's second quarter fiscal 2014 earnings conference call will be broadcast live on April 23, 2014, beginning at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time (PT) at http://investor.qualcomm.com/events.cfm. This conference call will include a discussion of "Non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these Non-GAAP financial measures to the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as other financial and statistical information to be discussed on the conference call, will be posted at www.qualcomm.com/investor immediately prior to commencement of the call. An audio replay will be available at http://investor.qualcomm.com/events.cfm and via telephone following the live call for 30 days thereafter. To listen to the replay via telephone, U.S. callers may dial (855) 859-2056 and international callers may dial (404) 537-3406. Callers should use reservation number 25607511.

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 (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies) and QTL (Qualcomm Technology Licensing) segments; and (iii) to compare the performance and efficiency of these segments against each other and against competitors. Non-GAAP measurements of the following financial data are used by the Company: revenues, cost of equipment and services revenues, R&D expenses, SG&A expenses, operating income, net investment income, income or earnings before income taxes, effective tax rate, net income, diluted earnings 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 and certain share-based compensation, acquisition-related items and 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. Non-cash share-based compensation is excluded because management
        views such expenses as unrelated to the operating activities of the
        Company's ongoing core businesses.
    --  Acquisition-related items include amortization and impairment 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, the Company excludes expenses related to the
        termination of contracts that limit the use of the acquired intellectual
        property. These 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 businesses. 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 are 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.
