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 Qualcomm's
Investor Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter as the migration to
3G-enabled products continues to accelerate," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chief
executive officer of Qualcomm. "We delivered record revenues, up 19 percent
year-over-year, and our pro forma earnings per share were at the high end of
our prior estimate.

"I am also pleased to announce that we have reached a settlement
agreement with Nokia that resolves all litigation between the companies and
will allow both of us to focus our efforts on driving the global 3G and 4G
markets forward. In addition to providing an up-front royalty payment and
other benefits, Qualcomm will also receive ongoing royalties for all CDMA
standards, as well as single-mode OFDMA. I look forward to providing our
updated guidance tomorrow morning."

Cash and Marketable Securities

Qualcomm's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled
approximately US$11.2 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008,
compared to US$10.6 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008
and US$12.3 billion a year ago. On July 16, 2008, we announced a cash
dividend of US$0.16 per share payable on September 26, 2008 to stockholders
of record at the close of business on August 29, 2008.

    N/M - Not Meaningful



Pro forma R&D expenses increased 29 percent year-over-year, primarily due
to an increase in costs related to 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 technologies 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($)   16%          20%         (23%)         13%



Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased
16 percent year-over-year, primarily attributable to an increase in certain
professional fees, primarily related to patent activities, and
employee-related expenses. QSI SG&A expenses were primarily related to
MediaFLO USA.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Without the potential effect of our settlement agreement with Nokia, our
fiscal 2008 effective income tax rates are estimated to be 16 percent for
total Qualcomm (GAAP) and 19 percent for Qualcomm pro forma. The third
quarter total Qualcomm (GAAP) and Qualcomm pro forma effective tax rates of
15 percent and 18 percent, respectively, are lower than the estimated annual
effective tax rates, primarily due to the change in our estimate of 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 2008 included a US$0.04 loss
per share for the QSI segment. The third quarter of fiscal 2008 QSI results
included $88 million in operating expenses, primarily related to MediaFLO
USA.

    (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 
         US$331 million tax benefit, or US$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.

Qualcomm Incorporated (www.qualcomm.com) is a leader in developing and
delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services
based on CDMA and other advanced technologies. Headquartered in San Diego,
Calif., Qualcomm is included in the S&P 500 Index and is a 2008 FORTUNE
500(R) company traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market(R) under the ticker symbol
QCOM.

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 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)  Included US$105 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, and US$24 
         million in net realized gains on investments, partially offset by 
         US$71 million in other-than-temporary losses on investments and US$2 
         million in interest expense. 
    (b)  Included US$15 million in net realized gains on investments and US$3 
         million interest and dividend income, partially offset by US$12 
         million in other-than-temporary losses on investments, US$2 million 
         in equity in losses of investees and US$2 million in interest 
         expense.
    (c)  The third quarter of fiscal 2008 effective tax rates were 
         approximately 15% for total Qualcomm (GAAP) and approximately 18% 
         for Qualcomm pro forma.    
    (d)  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). 
    (e)  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 June 29, 2008, included herein.
    (f)  Incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the
