Investor Relations web page at www.qualcomm.com.

"We are pleased to report that the 3G CDMA-based market continues
to grow at a rapid pace. Our results reflect strong year-over-year
growth in CDMA2000(R) and WCDMA chipsets and handsets driving record
revenue and earnings per share," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chief
executive officer of QUALCOMM. "Based on our current outlook, thanks
primarily to stronger than expected chipset demand across our product
portfolio and higher CDMA2000 handset shipments, we are raising our
fiscal 2007 revenue and earnings per share guidance."

"Focused execution by QUALCOMM and its partners resulted in many
exciting achievements this quarter. The MediaFLO(TM) USA service was
commercially launched by Verizon Wireless and AT&T/Cingular announced
their plan to launch services later this year. The GSM Association
selected LG's phone, powered by a QUALCOMM chipset, as the '3G for
All' winner to enable feature rich WCDMA handsets at lower prices. In
addition, we announced the expansion of our single chip product line
to include EV-DO Rev. A, providing a low cost mobile broadband
solution. The innovation and competition enabled by our business
model continues to provide manufacturers, operators and subscribers
compelling devices, applications and services globally."

Cash and Marketable Securities

QUALCOMM's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
totaled approximately US$11.3 billion at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to US$10.5 billion at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 and US$10.2 billion a year ago. During
the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we announced a 17 percent increase
in our quarterly dividend from US$0.12 to US$0.14 per share. A cash
dividend of US$0.14 per share is payable on June 29, 2007 to
stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2007.

Estimated Share-Based Compensation

Total QUALCOMM (GAAP) net income for the second quarter of fiscal
2007 included estimated share-based compensation, net of tax, of
US$84 million, or US$0.05 per share, compared to US$78 million, or
US$0.05 per share in the prior year quarter.

Pro forma R&D expenses increased 23 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 primarily related to MediaFLO
USA.

Pro forma selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
increased 60 percent year-over-year, largely attributable to
increases in legal fees, employee related expenses and bad debt
expense. The year-over-year increase in QSI SG&A expenses is
primarily related to MediaFLO USA.

Effective Income Tax Rate

Our fiscal 2007 effective income tax rate is estimated to be 21
percent for total QUALCOMM (GAAP), consistent with our prior
estimate. The second quarter tax rate of 22 percent for total
QUALCOMM (GAAP) is higher than the estimated annual effective income
tax rate due primarily to US$33 million of tax benefits recorded in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007 related to the retroactive extension
of the federal research and development tax credit. Our fiscal 2007
QUALCOMM pro forma effective income tax rate is estimated to be 24
percent, compared to our previous estimate of 25 percent. This
decrease in our pro forma estimated annual rate is primarily due to
an increase in forecasted 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 second quarter of fiscal 2007 include
US$0.01 loss per share for the QSI segment. The second quarter of
fiscal 2007 QSI results included US$50 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 or asset
impairments, 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. Estimated
share-based compensation in future periods may vary materially from
the business outlook as the methodology used to calculate this
estimate is dependent on a variety of assumptions which are subject
to market fluctuations and other factors.

The following table summarizes total QUALCOMM (GAAP) and QUALCOMM
pro forma guidance for the third fiscal quarter and fiscal year 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.

Our third quarter and fiscal 2007 guidance includes the
anticipated positive impact to QTL revenue resulting from an
arbitration decision in April 2007 in our favor against Ericsson and
Sony Ericsson for underpaying royalties to us under the terms of the
license agreement with us. Under the arbitration order, we will
receive US$30 million for subscriber unit sales from 2004 through the
first quarter of calendar 2006. In addition, royalty payments from
the first quarter of calendar 2006 to the present, and going forward,
will be made in accordance with the arbitrators' decision providing a
positive impact on revenues and earnings.

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. We had
previously estimated the potential impact of non-payment of royalties
from Nokia in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 for June quarter
shipments to be approximately US$0.04 to US$0.06 diluted earnings per
share. Our current estimate of royalties which we believe will be
owed from Nokia in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 for June quarter
shipments is approximately US$0.04 to US$0.05 diluted earnings per
share, which we have excluded from our current fiscal 2007 guidance.

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

(1) Prior FY 2007 estimates did not reflect the potential adverse impact
on our results of Nokia not paying royalties in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2007 for June quarter shipments. Our prior estimate of
such impact was approximately US$0.04 to US$0.06 diluted earnings
per share.
(2) Current FY 2007 estimates do not reflect the potential opportunity of
Nokia paying royalties in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 for
June quarter shipments. Our current estimate of such opportunity is
approximately US$0.04 to US$0.05 diluted earnings per share.

(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 six 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 intercompany 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 US$33 million, or US$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 exclude this tax benefit
attributable to 2006.

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 2006 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 eliminating the episodic impact of
strategic investments in QSI and items such as acquired in-process
R&D, as well as the inherent, non-operational volatility of
share-based compensation. 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 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,

HSDPA both domestically and internationally; our dependence on major
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
in the demand for CDMA-based products, services or applications;
foreign currency fluctuations; strategic loans, investments and
transactions the Company has or may pursue; our dependence on third
party manufacturers and suppliers; our ability to maintain and

to share-based awards granted under the executive bonus program.
(b) Includes US$266 million in interest and dividend income related to
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which are not part
of the Company's strategic investment portfolio, US$112 million in
net realized gains on investments, partially offset by US$1 million
in other-than-temporary losses on investments and US$1 million in
interest expense.
(c) Includes US$7 million in net realized gains on investments and
US$4 million in interest and dividend income, partially offset by
US$2 million in interest expense, US$1 million in
other-than-temporary losses on investments and US$1 million in losses
on derivatives.
(d) The tax rate of 20% for the first six months of fiscal 2007 for total
QUALCOMM (GAAP) is lower than the estimated annual effective tax rate
of 22% due primarily to US$33 million of tax benefits recorded in the
first quarter related to the retroactive extension of the federal
research and development tax credit.
(e) At fiscal year-end, the sum of the quarterly tax provisions for each
column, including QSI, will equal 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).
(f) Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating
