       sequentially.
    -- Net income:  US$767 million, up 18 percent year-over-year and down 32

       down 31 percent sequentially.(i)

       common stock.



(i) The sequential decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share

segment, certain estimated share-based compensation, certain tax items
related to prior years and acquired in-process research and development (R&D)

       less capital expenditures).



Detailed reconciliations between total Qualcomm (GAAP) results and cash
flow and Qualcomm pro forma results and cash flow are included at the end of
this news release. Prior period reconciliations are presented on our Investor
Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter as the demand for
CDMA-based devices, applications and services continues to accelerate
around the world," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chief executive officer of
Qualcomm. "We continue to work closely with our partners to successfully
provide the innovative wireless products and services consumers demand. Our
results reflect another record quarter of chipset shipments and a 21 percent
year-over-year growth in both revenues and pro forma earnings per share."

"Our continued focus on execution allows us to deliver excellent
financial results despite the impact of defending our business model. The
fundamental drivers of our business remain strong, and based on our current
business outlook, we are pleased to reaffirm our fiscal 2008 pro forma
earnings per share guidance."

Cash and Marketable Securities

Qualcomm's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled
approximately US$11.3 billion at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008,
compared to US$11.8 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007
and US$10.5 billion a year ago. As of December 30, 2007, US$670 million
remained authorized for repurchases under our stock repurchase program, net
of a put option outstanding which could require us to repurchase 2.5 million
shares of our common stock for approximately US$94 million. Since December
30, 2007, we have repurchased and retired more than 17.7 million shares of
our common stock for approximately US$668 million. On January 16, 2008, we
announced a cash dividend of US$0.14 per share payable on March 28, 2008 to
stockholders of record at the close of business on February 29, 2008.

Estimated Share-Based Compensation

Total Qualcomm (GAAP) net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008
included estimated share-based compensation, net of tax, of US$85 million or
US$0.05 per diluted share. This compares to US$87 million, or US$0.05 per
diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 18 percent year-over-year, primarily due 
to additional engineering resources for the development of integrated circuit 
products, next generation CDMA and OFDMA technologies, the expansion of our 
intellectual property portfolio and other initiatives to support the 
acceleration of advanced wireless products and services, including lower cost 
devices, the integration of wireless with consumer electronics and computing, 
the convergence of multiband, multimode, multinetwork products and 
technologies, third party operating systems and services platforms. QSI R&D 
expenses were related to MediaFLO USA.

    Year-over-year change ($)                 9%      (6%)                5%



Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 9
percent year-over-year, primarily attributable to an increase in employee
related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense. QSI
SG&A expenses were primarily related to MediaFLO USA.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Our fiscal 2008 effective income tax rates are estimated to be 17 percent
for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and 21 percent for Qualcomm pro forma, consistent
with our prior guidance. The first quarter Qualcomm (GAAP) and pro forma
effective tax rates of 18 percent and 22 percent, respectively, are higher
than the expected annual effective tax rates primarily due to the revaluation
of deferred tax assets.

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 first quarter of fiscal 2008 included $0.01 loss per
share for the QSI segment. The first quarter of fiscal 2008 QSI results
included $66 million in operating expenses, primarily related to MediaFLO
USA.

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. 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. In addition, our outlook does not include provisions for the
consequences of injunctions or significant possible damages or costs related
to litigation matters unless damages have been awarded by a court.

We are engaged in multiple disputes with Nokia Corp., including
arbitration over Nokia's obligation to pay royalties for the use of certain
of our patents. As a result, under generally accepted accounting principles,
we are not recording royalty revenue attributable to Nokia's sales after
April 9, 2007 until an arbitrator (or court) awards damages or the disputes
are otherwise resolved by agreement with Nokia. We have excluded from our
fiscal 2008 revenue and earnings guidance our estimate of royalties which we
believe Nokia is required to report and pay to us under our existing license
agreement in fiscal 2008.

We continue to be engaged in litigation with Broadcom Corporation in
various forums. On December 31, 2007, the Federal District Court in Santa
Ana, California issued an injunction as to certain of our products, while
enjoining but mandating a limited license with respect to other products. We
continue the effort to design products to avoid the claims of the patents
found by the jury to infringe Broadcom's patents. We have already announced
that we expect devices to be available before the end of the first calendar
quarter of 2008 that incorporate our chipsets which do not include the
accused function of the 6,847,686 patent. We have filed a motion for stay and
a motion asking that the judge clarify certain portions of his ruling, and we
intend to appeal the adverse findings in this case. We have included our
estimate of the impact of this ruling in our outlook for fiscal 2008.

The following table summarizes total Qualcomm (GAAP) and Qualcomm pro
forma guidance for the second fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2008 based on
the current business outlook. The pro forma business outlook provided below
is presented in a manner that is consistent with the presentation of pro
forma results provided elsewhere herein.

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

    (1)CDMA/WCDMA device shipments and average selling prices are estimated
       for the total market.
    (2)We perform periodic audits of the royalties payable by our          
       licensees. As a result of our audit process, we determined during   
       the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 that total CDMA-based device      
       shipments and average selling prices (ASPs) should be adjusted for  
       certain periods. The adjustments related only to device shipments   
       and ASPs and did not impact the amount or timing of our revenue.    
       Historical units presented herein have been adjusted to reflect     
       these adjustments.
    (3)Our fiscal 2007 results do not include royalty revenue attributable 
       to Nokia's sales after April 9, 2007 which, as of November 14, 2007,
       we estimated to be approximately $0.05 diluted earnings per share.
    (4)We have excluded from our fiscal 2008 revenue and earnings guidance 
       our estimate of royalties which we believe Nokia is required to     
       report and pay to us under our existing license agreement in fiscal 
       2008 which, as of December 20, 2007, we estimated to be             
       approximately $0.25-$0.30 diluted earnings per share.

    (1)  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.
    (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)  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 items 
         column and the tax provisions related to estimated share-based 
         compensation and in-process R&D from the tax provision for total 
         Qualcomm (GAAP). 
    (4)  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a 
         $331 million tax benefit, or $0.20 diluted earnings per share, 
         related to tax expense recorded in prior years resulting from the 
         completion of tax audits during the fourth fiscal quarter. The 
         fiscal 2007 Qualcomm pro forma results excluded this tax benefit 
         attributable to prior years.

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 items 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 a bonus program that may
result in the issuance of unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock,
is excluded because management views the valuation of options and other
share-based compensation as theoretical and unrelated to the Company's
operational performance. Further, share-based compensation 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. Moreover, it is generally not an
expense that requires or will require cash payment by the Company. Certain
tax items 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 between total Qualcomm (GAAP) cash flow and Qualcomm
pro forma cash flow are presented herein.

    (a)  Estimated share-based compensation presented above and excluded from 
         pro forma results did not include $1 million, net of tax, 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. 
    (b)  Included $152 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, $71 million in 
         net realized gains on investments and $2 million in gains on 
         derivative instruments from net decreases in the fair value of the 
         put option liabilities related to our share repurchase program, 
         partially offset by $57 million in other-than-temporary losses on 
         investments and $5 million in interest expense. 
    (c)  Included $11 million in net realized gains on investments and $1 
         million in interest and dividend income, partially offset by $2 
         million in interest expense.
    (d)  The first quarter of fiscal 2008 tax rates were approximately 18% 
         for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and approximately 22% for Qualcomm pro 
         forma.    
    (e)  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 items 
         column and the tax provisions related to estimated share-based 
         compensation and in-process R&D from the tax provision for total 
         Qualcomm (GAAP). 
    (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 Total Qualcomm (GAAP) net cash provided by operating 
         activities and other supplemental disclosures for the three months 
         ended December 30, 2007, included herein.
    (g)  Incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the 
         period.
