Detailed reconciliations between total QUALCOMM (GAAP) results and

this news release. Prior period reconciliations are presented on our
Investor Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com.

"We had another tremendous quarter, providing market validation
for the innovative products and solutions delivered by our employees
and partners worldwide," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chief executive
officer of QUALCOMM. "The fundamental drivers of our business remain
very strong. Our record revenue and earnings this quarter reflect
continued worldwide demand for innovative third-generation devices
and services. We shipped a record 65 million CDMA-based MSM(TM)
chipsets in the third quarter representing strong year-over-year
growth in both 1xEV-DO and WCDMA. Strong March quarter handset
shipments demonstrate the continued global adoption of CDMA-based
technologies with over 30% growth from the year ago quarter."

"In addition to continued excellent business and financial
performance, we also see traction for our initiatives to expand the
wireless market. Multiple WCDMA operators have adopted the BREW
platform, our MediaFLO(TM) system continues to grow as we expand our
service footprint in the United States and conduct new trials around
the world, and our Snapdragon(TM) processor is building momentum in
the computing and consumer electronics markets."

"While we continue to execute well and the future of CDMA-based
technology is very bright, we are also expending a great amount of
time and resources defending our business model. In the most recent
quarter, we have made progress in some of these battles, while losing
ground in others. We were disappointed with the rulings on behalf of
Broadcom, both in the California litigation and in front of the ITC.
We continue to believe that the rulings were wrong and are pursuing
all avenues to reverse and to mitigate the effect of those rulings,
including working with our partners who may obtain a license from
Broadcom. While we are increasing our guidance for the year, ITC and
litigation outcomes are uncertain and could have a material impact on
our business and results of operations."

Cash and Marketable Securities

QUALCOMM's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
totaled approximately US$12.3 billion at the end of the third quarter
of fiscal 2007, compared to US$11.3 billion at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2007 and US$9.5 billion a year ago. As of July 1,
2007, US$2.6 billion remains authorized for repurchases under our
stock repurchase program, net of put options outstanding. On July 13,
2007, we announced a cash dividend of US$0.14 per share payable on
September 28, 2007 to stockholders of record at the close of business
on August 31, 2007.

Estimated Share-Based Compensation

Total QUALCOMM (GAAP) net income for the third quarter of fiscal
2007 includes estimated share-based compensation, net of tax, of
US$76 million, or US$0.04 per diluted share, compared to US$83
million, or US$0.05 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

As a % of revenue 17% 20%
Year-over-year change ($) 20% (11%) 12% 15%

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 20 percent year-over-year,
primarily due to additional engineering resources for the development
of integrated circuit products and other initiatives to support
low-cost phones, multimedia applications, high-speed wireless
Internet access and multi-mode, multi-band, multi-network products
and technologies. QSI R&D expenses are related to MediaFLO USA.

Third quarter fiscal 2006 $214 $60 $19 $293

Year-over-year change ($) 43% (10%) 111% 37%

Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
increased 43 percent year-over-year, largely attributable to
increases in costs related to litigation and other legal matters and
employee related expenses. The year-over-year increase in QSI SG&A
expenses is primarily related to MediaFLO USA cooperative marketing
expenses.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Our fiscal 2007 effective income tax rate is estimated to be 19
percent for total QUALCOMM (GAAP) compared to our prior estimate of
21 percent. Our fiscal 2007 QUALCOMM pro forma effective income tax
rate is estimated to be 23 percent, compared to our previous estimate
of 24 percent. The third quarter QUALCOMM (GAAP) and pro forma
effective tax rates of 18 percent and 21 percent, respectively, are
lower than the expected annual effective tax rates primarily due to
our estimate of additional 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 2007 include
US$0.04 loss per share for the QSI segment. The third quarter of
fiscal 2007 QSI results include US$95 million in operating expenses,
primarily related to MediaFLO USA.

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. Due to their nature, certain income
and expense items, such as realized investment gains or losses in
QSI, gains and losses on certain derivative instruments, asset
impairments or the impact of the resolution of income tax audits,
cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, the Company excludes
forecasts of 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. In addition, our outlook provides
for legal costs which are reasonably consistent with our experience
over the past year but does not include any provision for the
consequences of injunctions or significant damages or costs related
to litigation matters, including support we may agree to provide to
our customers. Although Verizon announced it has entered into a
license agreement with Broadcom eliminating risk of not being able to
import handsets using our chips for use in Verizon's network, a
comprehensive settlement between us and Broadcom is unlikely given
Broadcom's insistence on terms which could have a material impact on
our licensing business. As a result, over the next few months, we
will be defending ourselves from Broadcom's attempts to obtain an
injunction precluding the sale of certain of our chips sold in
handsets for use in the U.S. other than in Verizon's network.

The following table summarizes total QUALCOMM (GAAP) and QUALCOMM
pro forma guidance for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal 2007
based on the current business outlook. The pro forma business outlook
provided below is presented consistent with the presentation of pro
forma results provided elsewhere herein.

We are engaged in multiple disputes with Nokia Corp., including
litigation over Nokia's obligation to pay royalties for the use of
certain of our patents. As a result, under generally accepted
accounting principles, we do not expect to be able to record royalty
revenue attributable to Nokia's sales starting in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2007 until an arbitrator (or court) awards damages or the
disputes are otherwise resolved by agreement with Nokia. Our estimate
of royalties which we believe will be owed by Nokia in the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2007 for June quarter shipments is
approximately US$0.05 diluted earnings per share, which we have
excluded from our current fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal 2007
guidance, compared to our prior estimate of approximately US$0.04 to
US$0.05 diluted earnings per share.

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

(1) During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company reassessed the
intersegment royalty charged to QCT by QTL and determined that the
royalty should be eliminated starting in fiscal 2007 for management
reporting purposes. As a result, QCT did not record a royalty to
QTL in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The Company also
reorganized the QUALCOMM Wireless Systems (QWS) division into the
QWBS division within the QWI segment. Revenues and operating
results relating to QWS were included in reconciling items through
the end of fiscal 2006. Prior period segment information has been
adjusted to conform to the new segment presentation.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(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 tax provision for QUALCOMM pro forma, the tax
adjustment column and the tax provisions related to estimated
share-based compensation and in-process R&D from the tax provision
for total QUALCOMM (GAAP).
(5) During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the federal R&D tax credit
that expired on December 31, 2005 was extended by Congress for a
period of two years beyond the prior expiration date. The Company
recorded a tax benefit of $33 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per
share, related to fiscal 2006 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007
due to this retroactive extension. The effective tax rate for the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 for total QUALCOMM (GAAP) was 17%
primarily as a result of this benefit. The first quarter fiscal
2007 QUALCOMM pro forma results excluded this tax benefit
attributable to 2006.

and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products
and services based on CDMA and other advanced technologies.

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 QUALCOMM
Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment, certain estimated share-based
compensation, certain tax adjustments 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 the executive bonus
program, is excluded because management views the valuation of
options and other share-based compensation as theoretical and
unrelated to the Company's operational performance as the share-based
compensation is affected by factors that are subject to change on
each grant date, 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 adjustments 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 total QUALCOMM (GAAP) cash flow and QUALCOMM
pro forma cash flow 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: the rate of development,

customers and licensees; attacks on our licensing business model,
including results of current and future litigation and arbitration
proceedings as well as actions of governmental or quasi-governmental
bodies, and the costs we incur in connection therewith; fluctuations
