SAN DIEGO/PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services, today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 ended December 29, 2013.

"We are pleased with the start to our fiscal year, with record results in quarterly revenues, device sales reported by licensees and MSM chip shipments," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, Chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. "Looking forward, we expect our performance to reflect the continued strong global growth of smartphones, our chipset leadership position and our competitive strengths in 3G/4G technologies and products."

Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 10 percent y-o-y primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses and selling and marketing expenses, partially offset by a decrease in costs related to litigation and other legal matters.

Effective Income Tax Rates

Our fiscal 2014 annual effective income tax rates are estimated to be approximately 18 percent for GAAP and approximately 17 to 19 percent for Non-GAAP, both of which include an estimate of the United States federal R&D tax credit expected to be generated through December 31, 2013, the date on which the credit expired. The first quarter of fiscal 2014 effective income tax rates were 18 percent for both GAAP and Non-GAAP.

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.

Our outlook for fiscal 2014 diluted earnings per share includes an estimate of the benefit related to approximately $3 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 business outlook. The Non-GAAP business outlook presented below is consistent with the presentation of Non-GAAP results included elsewhere herein.

(1) 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 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 was not reported by the licensee until

such particular period.

(2) Our prior and current outlook for FY 2014 diluted earnings per

share includes an estimate of the benefit related to stock

repurchases that we plan to complete during the fiscal year.

FY 2014 guidance also reflects an annual effective tax rate that

includes an estimate of the United States federal R&D tax credit

expected to be generated through December 31, 2013, the date on

which the credit expired.

(3) 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 first quarter fiscal 2014 earnings conference call will be broadcast live on January 29, 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.cfmand 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 31476192.

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. Certain share-based compensation

is excluded because management views such expenses as

unrelated to the operating activities of the Company's

ongoing core businesses. 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 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
