Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language contained in such filing.
On April 21, 2015, Broadcom Corporation (the “Company” or “Broadcom”) issued a press release announcing unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Broadcom reports the following measures in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis: (i) cost of revenue, (ii) gross profit, (iii) gross margin, (iv) net income, and (v) diluted net income per share, referred to collectively as “non-GAAP financial measures.” These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain charges related to acquisitions and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual charges and gains that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by weighted average shares outstanding (diluted).
Broadcom believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Broadcom’s management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability among and between results from prior periods or forecasts and future prospects, and also facilitates comparisons with other companies in the Company’s industry, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Broadcom’s management has historically used these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance, because Broadcom believes that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described below provides insight into its core operating results, its ability to generate cash and underlying business trends affecting performance. Broadcom has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform additional analysis of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate the Company’s ongoing core operations. Externally, Broadcom believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information, is useful to investors in their assessment of Broadcom’s operating performance and the valuation of the Company.
Internally, these non-GAAP financial measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of:
supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to the Company’s board of directors;
evaluating Broadcom’s operating performance;
managing and benchmarking performance internally across Broadcom’s businesses and externally against peers;
determining a portion of bonus compensation for executive officers and certain other key employees;
establishing internal operating budgets;
calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives;
comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models; and
evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates.
These Non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for one or more of the following items:
Acquisition-related charges. Acquisition-related charges include the amortization of purchased intangible assets and the amortization of acquired inventory valuation step-up (as well as the impairment of goodwill and purchased intangible assets primarily consisting of developed technology and in-process research and development assets). These charges are not factored into management’s evaluation of potential acquisitions, or of the Company’s performance after completion of acquisitions, because they do not affect the Company’s current cash position, are not related to core operating performance and had Broadcom internally developed the technology acquired, the amortization of intangible assets would have been expensed in prior periods. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of the





Company’s acquisition transactions, the maturities of the businesses being acquired, and depending on the nature of the consideration paid in connection with acquisitions, the then fair market value of Broadcom’s Class A common stock.     
Other charges and gains. Other charges and gains consist of impairment of other long-lived assets, settlement costs (gains), restructuring costs (reversals), charitable contributions, gains on sale of assets and gains (losses) on strategic investments and certain inventory charges relating to Broadcom's decision to exit from its cellular baseband business, all of which occur on a sporadic basis and vary greatly in amount. Management excludes these items when evaluating the Company’s operating performance because these amounts do not affect core operations and because the frequency and variability in the nature of the charges can vary significantly from period to period. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare the Company’s performance against the performance of other companies without this variability.
Income tax expense (benefit). Represents the reversal of a portion of the Company's valuation allowance that was directly related to the establishment of a deferred tax liability associated with the step-up of acquired identifiable intangible assets allocated to jurisdictions in which the statutory tax rate is above zero, as well as tax benefits resulting from the reduction of certain foreign deferred tax liabilities due to the impairment of long-lived assets.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Broadcom’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Broadcom’s results as reported under GAAP. Broadcom expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from Broadcom’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:
Although amortization and impairment of purchased intangible assets do not directly affect the Company’s current cash position, such expense represents the declining value of the technology and other intangible assets that were acquired. These assets are amortized over their respective expected economic lives or impaired, when appropriate. The expense associated with this decline in value is excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures, and therefore these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect the costs of acquired intangible assets that supplement the Company’s research and development efforts.
Broadcom periodically acquires and assimilates other companies or businesses, and expects to continue to experience acquisition-related charges in the future. Broadcom also periodically enters into settlement agreements in connection with various litigation matters. These costs can directly impact the amount of available funds or could be dilutive to shareholders in the future.

Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

“Broadcom delivered better-than-expected results in the March quarter driven by strength in the high-end smartphone and broadband access markets,” said Scott McGregor, Broadcom’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking to the June quarter, we see operating performance continuing to strengthen on tight operating expense discipline and strong margins, consistent with our objective of driving profitable growth.”

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was $2.06 billion. This represents a decrease of 4.0% compared with the $2.14 billion reported for the fourth quarter of 2014 and an increase of 3.7% compared with the $1.98 billion reported for the first quarter of 2014. Net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of 2015 was $209 million, or $0.34 per share (diluted), compared with GAAP net income of $390 million, or $0.64 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2014 and GAAP net income of $165 million, or $0.28 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of 2014.

GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2015 included impairment charges for long-lived assets of $143 million, or $0.23 per share. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 included charges for restructuring and the impairment of long-lived assets, primarily related to Broadcom's decision to exit from its cellular baseband business, of $30 million, or $0.05 per share. GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2014 included impairment charges for long-lived assets of $25 million, or $0.04 per share, and a net gain on sale of assets $52 million, or $0.09 per share.

In addition to GAAP results, Broadcom reports adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, referred to respectively as “non-GAAP net income” and “non-GAAP diluted net income per share.” A discussion of Broadcom’s use of these and other non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading “Unaudited Schedule of Selected GAAP to Non-GAAP Adjustments.”

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $390 million, or $0.64 per share (diluted), compared with non-GAAP net income of $463 million, or $0.76 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2014 and non-GAAP net income of $197 million, or $0.33 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of 2014.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Broadcom reports the following measures in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis: (i) cost of revenue, (ii) gross profit, (iii) gross margin, (iv) net income (loss), and (v) diluted net income (loss) per share (EPS). Broadcom's non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, and non-GAAP gross margin excludes certain charges related to acquisitions and certain inventory charges relating to its decision to exit the cellular baseband business. Acquisition-related charges include the amortization of purchased intangible assets and the amortization of acquired inventory valuation step-up. In addition to the exclusions noted above, Broadcom's non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share also exclude impairment of long-lived assets, settlement costs (gains), restructuring costs (reversals), charitable contributions, gain on sale of assets, gains (losses) on strategic investments, other charges (gains), tax benefits resulting from reductions in U.S. valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets due to the recording of net deferred tax liabilities for identifiable intangible assets under purchase accounting, and tax benefits resulting from the reduction of certain foreign deferred tax liabilities due to the impairment of long-lived assets. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively, appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading “Unaudited Schedule of Selected GAAP to Non-GAAP Adjustments.” Some totals or amounts may not add or conform to prior period presentations due to rounding.

Broadcom believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. Broadcom’s management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability among and between results from prior periods or forecasts and future prospects, and also facilitates comparisons with other companies in its industry, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Broadcom’s management has historically used these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance, because they believe that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described above provides insight into core operating results, the ability to generate cash and underlying business trends affecting performance. Broadcom has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform additional analysis of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate ongoing core operations. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

For additional information on the items excluded by Broadcom from one or more of its non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the Form 8-K regarding this release furnished today to the SEC.
