Broadcom Reports First Quarter 2006 Results
IRVINE, Calif., April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcom Corporation today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Net revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was $900.6 million, an increase of 9.8% from the $820.6 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2005 and an increase of 63.7% from the $550.3 million reported for the first quarter of 2005. Net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of 2006 was $134.9 million, or $.22 per share (diluted), compared with GAAP net income of $194.8 million, or $.33 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2005, and GAAP net income of $69.2 million, or $.13 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of 2005.
Net income computed in accordance with GAAP for the first quarter of 2006 reflected stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $93.7 million as a result of the company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"), effective January 1, 2006. Had the company applied the provisions of SFAS 123R in prior periods, it would have reported GAAP net income of approximately $115.7 million or $.20 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2005, and a GAAP net loss of approximately $61.5 million, or $.12 per share (basic and diluted), for the first quarter of 2005.
In addition to GAAP results, Broadcom reports adjusted net income and net income per share, referred to respectively as "non-GAAP net income" and "non-GAAP net income per share." A further discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures can be found below, and reconciliations of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 appear in the financial statements portion of this release.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2006, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $221.9 million, or $.36 per share (diluted). Broadcom reported non-GAAP net income of $196.8 million, or $.34 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2005, and non-GAAP net income of $81.6 million, or $.15 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of 2005.
"Numerous positive product cycles in our end markets enabled Broadcom to attain record revenue in the first quarter," said Scott McGregor, Broadcom's President and Chief Executive Officer. "These product cycles were driven by the strong positive trend in communications convergence. Voice, video and data are no longer separate streams of information but have converged to form a river of information that is enabling new applications, features, end products, and even new end markets. The confluence of these streams is driving not only demand for greater bandwidth to access this information, but also the desire to seamlessly access this information whether at work, at home or mobile."
"Broadcom is uniquely positioned to drive these trends in convergence and communications," Mr. McGregor continued. "Our broad and expanding product line and intellectual property portfolio, along with Broadcom's track record of execution in our three large and growing major target end markets, allow our customers to bring new products to market that enable seamless access to voice, video and data over both wired and wireless networks."
As previously announced, Broadcom will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its first quarter 2006 financial results and current financial prospects today at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time (4:45 p.m. Eastern Time). The company will broadcast the conference call via webcast over the Internet. To listen to the webcast, or to view the financial or other statistical information required by SEC Regulation G, please visit the Investors section of the Broadcom website at http://www.broadcom.com/investors. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, Thursday, May 4, 2006.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP net income consists of net income excluding stock-based compensation expense, as well as charges related to acquisitions and other 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 adjusted GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted). For this purpose, the calculation of GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude the benefits of compensation costs attributable to future services and not yet recognized in the financial statements that are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
Broadcom believes that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of operations. For further information regarding why Broadcom believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to the company's Current Report on Form 8-K regarding this earnings press release filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report is available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/ or under the "Financial Information" tab of the Investors section of the company's website described above.
Effects of 2006 Stock Dividend
All share numbers and per share amounts set forth in this release and the accompanying unaudited financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the Company's three-for-two stock split effected February 21, 2006 through the payment of respective stock dividends to the holders of record of Class A and Class B common stock at February 6, 2006.

All statements included or incorporated by reference in this release and in the related conference call for analysts and investors, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and business, management's beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "would," "could," "potential," "continue," "ongoing," similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.
Our reported GAAP results for the first quarter of 2006 and subsequent periods are negatively affected by the implementation of new accounting rules related to the expensing of stock options, which the company adopted effective January 1, 2006. Our GAAP results for periods prior to 2006 have not been restated to give effect to the new accounting rules.
Other important factors that may affect Broadcom's business, results of operations and financial condition include, but are not limited to, general economic and political conditions and specific conditions in the markets we address, including the continuing volatility in the technology sector and semiconductor industry, trends in the broadband communications markets in various geographic regions, including seasonality in sales of consumer products into which our products are incorporated, and possible disruption in commercial activities related to terrorist activity or armed conflict; our ability to scale our operations in response to changes in demand for our existing products and services or demand for new products requested by our customers; intellectual property disputes and customer indemnification claims and other types of litigation risk; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders and our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage inventory; the gain or loss of a key customer, design win or order; our dependence on a few significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue; problems or delays that we may face in shifting our products to smaller geometry process technologies and in achieving higher levels of design integration; our ability to specify, develop or acquire, complete, introduce, market and transition to volume production new products and technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner; the rate at which our present and future customers and end-users adopt Broadcom's technologies and products in our target markets; delays in the adoption and acceptance of industry standards in those markets; the effectiveness of our expense and product cost control and reduction efforts; our ability to retain, recruit and hire key executives, technical personnel and other employees in the positions and numbers, with the experience and capabilities, and at the compensation levels needed to implement our business and product plans; our ability to timely and accurately predict market requirements and evolving industry standards and to identify opportunities in new markets; the quality of our products and any potential remediation costs; competitive pressures and other factors such as the qualification, availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and the resulting effects on sales and pricing of our products; the availability and pricing of third party semiconductor foundry, assembly and test capacity and raw materials; the timing of customer-industry qualification and certification of our products and the risks of non-qualification or non-certification; changes in our product or customer mix; the volume of our product sales and pricing concessions on volume sales; fluctuations in the manufacturing yields of our third party semiconductor foundries and other problems or delays in the fabrication, assembly, testing or delivery of our products; the risks of producing products with new suppliers and at new fabrication and assembly and test facilities; the risks and uncertainties associated with our international operations, particularly in light of recent events; the effects of natural disasters, public health emergencies, international conflicts and other events beyond our control; the level of orders received that can be shipped in a fiscal quarter; and other factors.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, forthcoming Quarterly Reports on Form 10- Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings discuss the foregoing risks as well as other important risk factors that could contribute to such differences or otherwise affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
