BROADCOM CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our Company
Broadcom Corporation (including our subsidiaries, referred to collectively in this Report as
Broadcom, we, our and us) is a global leader and innovator in semiconductor solutions for
wired and wireless communications. Our products seamlessly deliver voice, video, data and
multimedia connectivity in the home, office and mobile environment. We provide the industrys
broadest portfolio of state-of-the-art system-on-a-chip and embedded software solutions.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, Form
10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation
S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements
should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC
February 2, 2011.
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion
of management, are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position at June 30, 2011
and December 31, 2010, and our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of total net revenue and expenses in the
reporting periods. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition,
rebates, allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves,
inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill and purchased intangible asset
valuations, strategic investments, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax
positions, tax contingencies, self-insurance, restructuring costs or reversals, litigation and
other loss contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical
experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from
other sources. The actual results we experience may differ materially and adversely from our
estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results,
our future results of operations will be affected.
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue principally from sales of integrated circuit products, royalties and license
fees for our intellectual property and software and related services. The timing of revenue
recognition and the amount of revenue actually recognized for each arrangement depends upon a
variety of factors, including the specific terms of each arrangement and the nature of our
deliverables and obligations. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized
involves judgments and estimates that we believe are reasonable, but actual results may differ from
our estimates. We recognize product revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (i)
persuasive evidence of an
5
arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or
determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria
are usually met at the time of product shipment. We record reductions of revenue for estimated
product returns and pricing adjustments, such as competitive pricing programs and rebates, in the
same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is based on
historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, specific criteria included in rebate
agreements, and other factors known at the time. We accrue 100% of potential rebates at the time of
sale and do not apply a breakage factor. We reverse the accrual for unclaimed rebate amounts as
specific rebate programs contractually end and when we believe unclaimed rebates are no longer
subject to payment and will not be paid. See Note 2 for a summary of our rebate activity.
Multiple Element Arrangements Excluding Software
We occasionally enter into revenue arrangements that contain multiple deliverables. Judgment
is required to properly identify the accounting units of the multiple deliverable transactions and
to determine the manner in which revenue should be allocated among the accounting units. Moreover,
judgment is used in interpreting the commercial terms and determining when all criteria of revenue
recognition have been met for each deliverable in order for revenue recognition to occur in the
appropriate accounting period. While changes in the allocation of the arrangement consideration
between the units of accounting will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a
particular sales arrangement, any material changes in these allocations could impact the timing of
revenue recognition, which could affect our results of operations. When we enter into an
arrangement that includes multiple elements, the allocation of value to each element is derived
based on managements best estimate of selling price when vendor specific evidence or third party
evidence is unavailable.
Distributor Revenue
A portion of our product sales is made through distributors under agreements allowing for
pricing credits and/or rights of return. These pricing credits and/or right of return provisions
prevent us from being able to reasonably estimate the final price of the inventory to be sold and
the amount of inventory that could be returned pursuant to these agreements. As a result, the fixed
and determinable revenue recognition criterion has not been met at the time we deliver products to
our distributors. Accordingly, product revenue from sales made through these distributors is not
recognized until the distributors ship the product to their customers. We also maintain inventory,
or hubbing, arrangements with certain of our customers. Pursuant to these arrangements, we deliver
products to a customer or a designated third party warehouse based upon the customers projected
needs, but do not recognize product revenue unless and until the customer reports that it has
removed our product from the warehouse and such customer has taken title and the risk of loss.
Software, Royalties and Cancellation Fee Revenue
Revenue from software licenses is recognized when all of the software revenue recognition
criteria are met and, if applicable, when vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, exists to
allocate the total license fee to each element of multiple-element software arrangements, including
post-contract customer support. Post-contract support is recognized ratably over the support
period. When a contract contains multiple elements wherein the only undelivered element is
post-contract customer support and VSOE of the fair value of post-contract customer support does
not exist, revenue from the entire arrangement is recognized ratably over the support period.
Software royalty revenue is recognized in arrears on a quarterly basis, based upon reports received
from licensees during the period, unless collectability is not reasonably assured, in which case
revenue is recognized when payment is received from the licensee. Revenue from cancellation fees is
recognized when cash is received from the customer.
6
Licensing Revenue
We license or otherwise provide rights to use portions of our intellectual property, which
includes certain patent rights essential to and/or utilized in the manufacture and sale of certain
wireless products. Licensees typically pay a license fee in one or more installments and ongoing
royalties based on their sales of products incorporating or using our licensed intellectual
property. License fees are recognized over the estimated period of benefit to the licensee,
typically five to ten years. We recognize licensing revenue on the sale of patents when all of the
following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exist, (ii) delivery has
occurred, (iii) the price to be paid by the purchaser is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection
of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met at the
time of patent transfer. We recognize royalty revenues based on royalties reported by licensees and
when other revenue recognition criteria are met, which is generally a quarter in arrears from the
period earned.
Income from the Qualcomm Agreement
On April 26, 2009 we entered into a four-year Settlement and Patent License and Non-Assert
Agreement, or the Qualcomm Agreement, with Qualcomm Incorporated, or Qualcomm. The Qualcomm
Agreement is a multiple element arrangement which includes: (i) an exchange of intellectual
property rights, including in certain circumstances, by a series of covenants not to assert claims
of patent infringement under future patents issued within one to four years of the execution date
of the agreement, (ii) the assignment of certain existing patents by Broadcom to Qualcomm with
Broadcom retaining a royalty-free license under these patents, and (iii) the settlement of all
outstanding litigation and claims between us and Qualcomm. The proceeds of the Qualcomm Agreement
were allocated amongst the principal elements of the transaction. A gain of $65 million from the
settlement of litigation was immediately recognized as a reduction in settlement costs that
approximates the value of awards determined by the United States District Court for the Central
District of California. The remaining consideration was predominantly associated with the transfer
of current and future intellectual property rights and is being recognized within net revenue over
the performance period of four years as a single unit of accounting. However this income will be
limited to the lesser of the cumulative straight-line amortization over the four year performance
period or the cumulative cash proceeds received.
Deferred Revenue and Income
We defer revenue and income when advance payments are received from customers before
performance obligations have been completed and/or services have been performed. Deferred revenue
does not include amounts from products delivered to distributors that the distributors have not yet
sold through to their end customers.
Stock-Based Compensation
Broadcom has in effect stock incentive plans under which incentive stock options have been
granted to employees and restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options have been granted
to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. We also have an employee stock
purchase plan for all eligible employees. We are required to estimate the fair value of share-based
awards on the date of grant. The value of the award is principally recognized as an expense ratably
over the requisite service periods. The fair value of our restricted stock units is based on the
closing market price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant less our expected dividend
yield. We have estimated the fair value of stock options and stock purchase rights as of the date
of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in
estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely
transferable. The Black-Scholes model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the
award, the expected volatility of our stock price and the expected dividend yield. We evaluate the
assumptions used to value stock options and stock purchase rights on a quarterly basis. The fair
values generated by the Black-Scholes model may not be indicative of the actual fair values of our
equity awards, as it does not consider other factors important to those awards to employees, such
as continued employment, periodic vesting requirements and limited transferability.
7
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short- and
long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The fair
value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. The fair
value of our long-term debt is determined by using estimated market prices. Assets and liabilities
measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the
market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments
within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the
lowest) defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active near the measurement date.
Level 3: Inputs include managements best estimate of what market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the
market and significant to the instruments valuation.
The fair value of the majority of our cash equivalents and marketable securities was
determined based on Level 1 inputs. The fair value of certain marketable securities and our
long-term debt were determined based on Level 2 inputs. We do not have any marketable securities
in the Level 3 category. We believe that the recorded values of all our other financial
instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively
short maturity dates or durations.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
We consider all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and have an
original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The cost
of these investments approximates their fair value. We maintain an investment portfolio of various
security holdings, types and maturities. We define marketable securities as income yielding
securities that can be readily converted into cash. Marketable securities short-term and long-term
classifications are based on remaining maturities at each reporting period. Examples of marketable
securities include U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, commercial paper and corporate notes and
bonds. We place our cash investments in instruments that meet credit quality standards and
concentration exposures as specified in our investment policy. It is our policy to invest in
instruments that have a final maturity not to exceed three years and a portfolio weighted average
maturity not to exceed 18 months. We do not use derivative financial instruments.
We account for our investments in debt and equity instruments as available-for-sale.
Management determines the appropriate classification of such securities at the time of purchase and
re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. Cash equivalents and marketable
securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders equity, net of tax. We
assess whether our investments with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired.
Unrealized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined
based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for
an acquisition and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. Other
long-lived assets primarily represent purchased intangible assets including developed technology,
customer relationships and in-process research and development, or IPR&D. We currently amortize our
intangible assets with definitive lives over periods ranging from one to fifteen years using a
method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are
8
consumed or otherwise used or, if that pattern cannot be reliably determined, using a
straight-line amortization method. We capitalize IPR&D projects acquired as part of a business
combination. On completion of each project, IPR&D assets are reclassified to developed technology
and amortized over their estimated useful lives. We test for the impairment of long-lived assets,
including other purchased intangible assets, when indicators of impairment, such as reductions in
demand, the abandonment of IPR&D projects or significant economic slowdowns in the semiconductor
industry, are present.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
In some agreements to which we are a party, we have agreed to indemnify the other party for
certain matters, including, but not limited to product liability. We include intellectual property
indemnification provisions in our standard terms and conditions of sale for our products and have
also included such provisions in certain agreements with third parties. We have and will continue
to evaluate and provide reasonable assistance for these other parties. This may include certain
levels of financial support to minimize the impact of the litigation in which they are involved. To
date, there have been no known events or circumstances that have resulted in any material costs
related to these indemnification provisions and no liabilities therefor have been recorded in the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the maximum potential
amount of the future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations
could be significant.
We have obligations to indemnify certain of our present and former directors, officers and
employees to the maximum extent not prohibited by law. Under these obligations, Broadcom is
required (subject to certain exceptions) to indemnify each such director, officer and employee
against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by such
individual. The potential amount of the future payments we could be required to make under these
indemnification obligations could be significant. We maintain directors and officers insurance
policies that may generally limit our exposure and enable us to recover a portion of the amounts
paid with respect to such obligations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued guidance regarding the
presentation of comprehensive income. The new standard requires the presentation of comprehensive
income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a
single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.
The new standard also requires presentation of adjustments for items that are reclassified from
other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and
the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The updated guidance is effective on a
retrospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have
a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance on fair value measurements that clarifies the
application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value
measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The
updated guidance is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The
adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2011 we recorded a purchased intangible impairment charge of $74 million related to
our acquisition of Beceem Communications, Inc. in 2010. The primary factor contributing to this
impairment charge was a reduction in the forecasted cash flows experienced this quarter derived
from the acquired WiMAX products as wireless service providers have accelerated their adoption of
Long Term Evolution, or LTE, products. In March 2011 we recorded an impairment charge of $9 million
primarily related to a technology license that was acquired in 2008. The primary factor
contributing to this impairment charge was the continued reduction in the forecasted cash flows for
our Blu-ray Disc business. We did not record any impairment charges in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010.
In determining the amount of these impairment charges we calculated fair values as of the
impairment date for acquired developed technology, in-process research and development and
customer relationships. The fair value for the first two assets was determined using the multiple
period excess earnings method, which method is described below in Note 3. The fair value of
acquired customer relationships was based on the benefit derived from the incremental revenue and
related cash flow as a direct result of the customer relationship. The fair values were determined
using significant unobservable inputs categorized as Level 3 inputs.
The following table presents details of the amortization of purchased intangible assets
included in the cost of product revenue and other operating expense categories:

Charitable Contribution
In June 2011 we contributed $25 million to the Broadcom Foundation to support science,
technology, engineering and mathematics programs, as well as a broad range of community services.
This payment was recorded as an operating expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Approximately $2 million of
the $25 million contribution came from Dr. Henry Samueli, who made such payment to Broadcom
Corporation in connection with the settlement of the shareholder derivative litigation as further
described in Note 9.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
In the six months ended June 30, 2011 we paid $1 million related to share repurchases that had
not settled by December 31, 2010. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 we received $4 million
related to stock option exercises that had not settled by December 31, 2010. In the six months
ended June 30, 2011, we paid $12 million for capital equipment that was accrued as of December 31,
2010 and had billings of $13 million for capital equipment that were accrued but not yet paid as of
June 30, 2011.
3. Business Combinations
In May 2011, we completed our acquisition of SC Square Ltd., a leading security software
developer for $40 million, exclusive of cash acquired. The purchase price was paid in cash, with a
portion of the consideration placed into escrow pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement.
In April 2011, we completed our acquisition of Provigent Inc., a privately-held company that
provides highly integrated, high performance, mixed signal semiconductors for microwave backhaul
systems. In connection with the acquisition, we paid approximately $314 million, exclusive of cash
acquired, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity rights of
Provigent. The purchase price was paid in cash, except that a portion attributable to certain
unvested employee stock options was paid in the form of Broadcom equity awards. The equity awards
had a fair value of approximately $4 million, of which less than one million was recorded to
goodwill and the remaining amount will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the
next three years. A portion of the cash consideration was placed into escrow pursuant to the terms
of the acquisition agreement.
Our primary reasons for these acquisitions were to expand our addressable market in the Mobile
& Wireless and Infrastructure & Networking markets, reduce the time required to develop new
technologies and products and bring them to market, incorporate enhanced functionality into and
complement our existing product offerings, augment our engineering workforce, and enhance our
technological capabilities.
We allocated the purchase price of these acquisitions to tangible assets, liabilities and
identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the
purchase price over the aggregate fair values was recorded as goodwill. The principal factor that
resulted in recognition of goodwill was that the purchase price for the acquisitions was based in
part on cash flow projections assuming the integration of any acquired technology and products with
our products, which is of considerably greater value than utilizing the acquired companys
technology or product on a standalone basis. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible
assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of
acquisition. Intangible assets, including IPR&D, are amortized using a method that reflects the
pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used or,
if that pattern cannot be reliably determined, using a straight-line amortization method.
For these acquisitions the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective estimated fair values on
the acquisition date. Based upon those calculations, the purchase prices for the acquisitions were
allocated as follows:

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 we completed the purchase price allocation for our
acquisition of Beceem Communications Inc. finalizing the completion of the fair value of the tax
assets and liabilities.
Purchased Intangible Assets
Developed technology represents patented technology and completed technology. Patented
technology is the fundamental technology that survives multiple product iterations, while completed
technology is specific to certain products acquired: both of these technologies have passed
technological feasibility. We generally use a relief-from-royalty method to value patented
technology, based on market royalties for similar fundamental technologies. The relief-from-royalty
method estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset that would
otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset.
The royalty rate used is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for
guideline intangible assets. Typically, revenue is projected over the expected remaining useful
life of the patented technology. The market-derived royalty rate is then applied to estimate the
royalty savings. To value completed technology, we generally use a multi-period excess earnings
approach which calculates the value based on the risk-adjusted present value of the cash flows
specific to the products, allowing for a reasonable return.
The fair value of the IPR&D for our acquisitions was determined using the income approach.
Under the income approach, the expected future cash flows from each project under development are
estimated and discounted to their net present values at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of
return. Significant factors considered in the calculation of the rate of return are the weighted
average cost of capital, the return on assets, as well as the risks inherent in the
15
development process, including the likelihood of achieving technological success and market acceptance. Each
project was analyzed to determine the unique technological innovations, the existence and reliance
on patented technology, the existence of any alternative future use or current technological
feasibility, and the complexity, cost and time to complete the remaining development. Future cash
flows for each project were estimated based on forecasted revenue and costs, taking into account
the expected product life cycles, market penetration and growth rates.
Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenue that will be
derived from the sale of products to existing customers of the acquired companies.
In-Process Research and Development
We capitalized $45 million of IPR&D costs in 2011 related to our Provigent acquisition. Upon
completion of each project, the related IPR&D assets will be reclassified to developed technology
and subsequently amortized over their estimated useful lives. If any of the projects are abandoned,
we will be required to impair the related IPR&D asset.
We believe the amounts recorded as IPR&D, as well as developed technology, represented the
fair values and approximate the amounts a market participant would pay for these projects as of the
respective acquisition dates.
The following table summarizes the significant assumptions underlying the valuations of IPR&D
at the acquisition date for our Provigent acquisition completed in 2011:

The assumptions consist primarily of expected completion dates for the IPR&D projects,
estimated costs to complete the projects, and revenue and expense projections for the products once
they have entered the market. Research and development costs to bring the products of the acquired
companies to technological feasibility are not expected to have a material impact on our results of
operations or financial condition. At June 30, 2011 all development projects from our Provigent
acquisition were still in process.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with certain of our acquisitions, additional cash consideration of up to $20
million may be paid to former shareholders upon satisfaction of certain future performance goals.
In connection with this contingent consideration, we originally recorded an estimated $1 million
liability. As of June 30, 2011, there have been no changes to our original estimates.
Supplemental Pro Forma Data (Unaudited)
The unaudited pro forma statement of income data below gives effect to our 2011 and 2010
acquisitions as if they had occurred at the beginning of the year prior to their respective
acquisition dates. The following data includes the amortization of purchased intangible assets
and acquired inventory valuation step-up, and stock-based compensation expense. This pro forma data
is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results
of future operations or of the results that would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place in
the periods noted above.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the six months ended
June 30, 2011. All of our long-term marketable securities had maturities of between one and three
years in duration at June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, we have approximately $1.78 billion of
cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments held by our foreign subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2011 we had 100 investments that were in an unrealized loss position for less than
12 months. Our gross unrealized losses were less than one million dollars and were due to changes
in interest rates. We have determined that the gross unrealized losses on these investments at June
30, 2011 are temporary in nature. We evaluate securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a
quarterly basis. Impairment is evaluated considering numerous factors, and their relative
significance varies depending on the situation. Factors considered include the length of time and
extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the issuer, and our intent and ability to hold the investment in order to allow for an
anticipated recovery in fair value.

5. Income Taxes
We recorded a tax benefit of $3 million and a tax provision of $1 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and a tax benefit of $2 million and a tax provision
of $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Our effective tax
rates were (2.2)% and 0.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and
(0.7)% and 0.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The difference
between our effective tax rates and the 35% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from foreign
earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, and tax benefits resulting primarily from the expiration of statutes of
limitations for the assessment of taxes in various foreign jurisdictions of $5 million and $6
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $6 million and $7
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. We also recorded a tax
benefit of approximately $4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulting primarily from
the March 22, 2010 decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit case concerning
Xilinx (as disclosed in prior periods). During the quarter ended June 30, 2011 we completed our
analysis under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 for our 2010 acquisition of Beceem
Communications, Inc., and determined there was no resulting material limitation on our ability to
utilize the acquired net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We record net
deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In
making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including
scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning
strategies and recent financial performance. Forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not
required is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. As
a result of our recent cumulative losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, and the
full utilization of our loss carryback opportunities, we have concluded that a full valuation
allowance should be recorded in such jurisdictions. In certain other foreign jurisdictions where we
do not have cumulative losses, we had net deferred tax liabilities of $58 million and $17 million
at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The increase in net deferred tax liabilities
for the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily related to $43 million of net deferred tax
liabilities from our acquisition of Provigent Inc. in April 2011.
We file federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes
of limitations. The 2007 through 2010 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal
and most state tax authorities. In foreign jurisdictions, the 2002 through 2010 tax years generally
remain subject to examination by tax authorities.
On June 30, 2011 we concluded the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination of our income tax
returns for 2004 through 2006, executed a closing agreement covering the 2001 through 2006 tax
years, and agreed to certain adjustments for the 2001 through 2006 tax years, primarily related to
intercompany transfer pricing transactions. Those audit adjustments were offset by federal net
operating losses and credits, and did not result in any income tax expense or cash tax liability
for the Company. As a result of the IRS examination, taking into account effects on post-audit
periods, we reduced our federal net operating losses by approximately $620 million and we reduced
amounts relating to uncertain tax benefits by approximately $180 million as of June 30, 2011. This
reduction in federal net operating loss carryforwards was fully offset with a reduction in our
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and had no impact on our operating results or
financial position. We are currently calculating the reduction of our state net operating loss
carryforwards resulting from the IRS audit, and such reduction will be fully offset with a
corresponding reduction in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and will not impact our
operating results or financial position.
In December, 2010 the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act
of 2010 was enacted. A provision in this legislation provided for the extension of the research and
development tax credit for qualifying expenditures paid or incurred from January 1, 2010 through
December 31, 2011. As a result of this legislation, we generated federal research and development
tax credits of $90 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and expect to generate additional
research and development tax credits for the year ended December 31, 2011. These tax credits, if
unutilized, will carry forward to future periods. No tax benefit was recorded for these
carryforwards since we have a full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets.
We operate under tax holidays in Singapore, which are effective through March 2014. The tax
holidays are conditional upon our meeting certain employment and investment thresholds.

Senior Notes
In November 2010 we issued senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $700
million. These Notes consist of $300 million aggregate principal amount of notes which mature in
November 2013, or the 2013 Notes, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.500% per annum, and $400
million aggregate principal amount of notes which mature in November 2015, or the 2015 Notes, and
bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.375% per annum. Interest is payable in cash semi-annually in
arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2011. The 2013 Notes were issued
with an original issue discount at 99.694% and the 2015 Notes were issued with an original issue
discount at 99.444% and are recorded as long-term debt, net of original issue discount. The
discount and debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of the Notes are amortized to
interest expense over their respective terms.
The effective rates for the fixed-rate debt include the interest on the notes and the
accretion of the original issue discount. Based on estimated market prices, the fair value of our
Notes was $699 million and $687 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
In connection with the Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to
which we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC an exchange offer
registration statement to issue registered notes with substantially identical terms as the Notes in
exchange for an outstanding Notes, or, under certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement
to register the Notes. We plan to file an exchange offer registration statement promptly after this
filing.
We may redeem the Notes at any time, subject to a specified make-whole premium as defined in
the indenture governing the Notes. In the event of a change of control triggering event, each
holder of Notes will have the right to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their
Notes at a redemption price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest. Default can be triggered by any missed interest or principal payment, breach
of covenant, or in certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.
The Notes contain a number of restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to,
restrictions on our ability to grant liens on assets; enter into sale and lease-back transactions;
or merge, consolidate or sell assets. Failure to comply with these covenants, or any other event of
default, could result in acceleration of the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on
the Notes.
Relative to our overall indebtedness, the Notes rank in right of payment (i) equal with all of
our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness (ii) senior to all of our existing and
future subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) effectively subordinated to all of our subsidiaries
existing and future indebtedness and other obligations (including secured and unsecured
obligations) and subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness and other
obligations, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness and other obligations.
20
Credit Facility
In November 2010, we entered into a credit facility with certain institutional lenders that
provides for unsecured revolving facility loans, swingline loans and letters of credit in an
aggregate amount of up to $500 million. The credit facility matures on November 19, 2014, at which
time all outstanding revolving facility loans and accrued and unpaid interest must be repaid. We
did not draw on our credit facility during 2010 or in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Any advances under a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan will accrue interest at the British
Bankers Association LIBOR, or BBA LIBOR, plus the Applicable Rate. Any advances under a US Dollar
Base Rate Committed Loan will accrue interest at rates that are equal to the higher of (a) the
Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% (b) Bank of Americas prime rate as announced from time to time, or
(c) BBA LIBOR plus the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate is based on our senior debt credit
ratings as published by Standard & Poors Rating Services and Moodys Investors Service, Inc. We
are also required to pay a commitment fee on the actual daily unused amount of commitments. We may
also, upon the agreement of the existing lenders, increase the commitments under the credit
facility by up to an additional $100 million.
The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative,
negative and financial covenants. Financial covenants require us to maintain a consolidated
leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of no less
than 3.00 to 1.00.
7. Shareholders Equity
Share Repurchase Programs
In February 2011 we entered into an accelerated share repurchase, or ASR, agreement to
repurchase shares of our Class A common stock, which was recorded as a reduction to shareholders
equity. Under the ASR program, a majority of the shares repurchased were immediately retired and,
due to the average daily volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock during the
specified term, we received additional shares back at the conclusion of the program.
Under the terms of the ASR, in February 2011 we paid $300 million and immediately received and
cancelled 6 million shares of our Class A common stock. Under the terms of the agreement, $41
million was pending final settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which occurred in
May 2011. Subsequently, we received an additional 1 million shares. The repurchases completed under
our ASR were repurchased at a weighted average price of $42.64.
In February 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized an evergreen share
repurchase program intended to offset dilution of incremental grants of stock awards associated
with our stock incentive plans. The maximum number of shares of our Class A common stock that may
be repurchased in any one year (including under an ASR or other arrangement) is equal to the total
number of shares issued pursuant to our equity awards in the previous year and the current year.
Our February 2010 share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended at
any time at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
In addition to the shares repurchased under the ASR, we repurchased approximately 6 million
and 4 million shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $34.98 and $31.88
per share in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately 10
million and 9 million shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $36.84 and
$30.65 per share in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Repurchases under our share repurchase programs were and are intended to be made in open
market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
21
Quarterly Dividend
In January 2011, our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the existing dividend policy
pursuant to which we increased the quarterly cash dividend by 12.5% to $0.09 per share ($0.36 per
share on an annual basis) and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share payable to
holders of our common stock. In the three months ended June 30, 2011and 2010 we paid $48 million
and $40 million, respectively, and $97 million and $80 million in the six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively, in dividends to holders of our Class A and Class B common stock. These
dividends were paid from U.S. domestic sources other than our retained earnings and are accounted
for as reductions of shareholders equity.

In January 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted a Performance Restricted Stock Units
Incentive Award Program, or the PRSU Program. Under the PRSU Program, and at the sole discretion of
the Compensation Committee, certain of our executives will annually be designated as participants.
The PRSU Program was adopted under, and all awards and grants under the program shall be pursuant
to, the Broadcom Corporation 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated. The Compensation
Committee designated the first performance cycle under the PRSU Program to be January 1, 2010
through December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the PRSU Program, a participant has the opportunity to
receive grants of performance-based RSUs, or PRSUs if the performance targets established by the
Compensation Committee have been met for a performance cycle (typically, January 1 through December
31 of a subject year). In 2011, our executive officers received PRSUs, in lieu of stock options,
and additionally, continued to receive time-based grants of RSUs. In 2011 we granted 0.2 million
PRSUs that were based on 2010 performance targets under the PRSU Program. Under the terms of the
PRSU Program, the award recipients were also awarded grants of the same number of PRSUs to be made
in the subsequent two calendar years on the basis of having met the 2010 performance targets. These
PRSU grants were included in both the computation of stock-based compensation expense and diluted
net income per share.
In February 2011, as part of Broadcoms regular annual equity compensation review program, our
Compensation Committee granted approximately 6 million restricted stock units.
The per share fair values of stock options and employee stock purchase rights granted in the
six months ended June 30, 2011 in connection with stock incentive plans and rights granted in
connection with the employee stock purchase plan have been estimated with the following weighted
average assumptions:

The weighted-average period over which the unearned stock-based compensation is expected to be
recognized is 1.4 years.
If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested awards, we may be
required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.
Future stock-based compensation expense and unearned stock-based compensation will increase to the
extent that we grant additional equity awards or assume unvested equity awards in connection with
acquisitions.
9. Litigation
We and certain of our subsidiaries are currently parties to various legal proceedings,
including those noted in this section. Unless specifically noted below, during the period presented
we have not: recorded any accrual for loss contingencies associated with the legal proceedings
described below; determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible; or
determined that the amount or range of any possible loss is reasonably estimable. We are engaged in
numerous other legal actions not described below arising in the ordinary course of our business
and, while there can be no assurance, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will
not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity or financial position.
From time to time we may conclude it is in the best interests of our shareholders, employees,
and customers to settle one or more litigation matters, and any such settlement could include
substantial payments; however, other than as noted below, we have not reached this conclusion with
respect to any particular matter at this time. There are a variety of factors that influence our
decisions to settle and the amount we may choose to pay, including the strength of our case,
developments in the litigation, the behavior of other interested parties, the demand on management
time and the possible distraction of our employees associated with the case and/or the possibility
that we may be subject to an injunction or other equitable remedy. It is difficult to predict
whether a settlement is possible, the amount of an appropriate settlement or when is the opportune
time to settle a matter in light of the numerous factors that go into the settlement decision.
Intellectual Property Proceedings
In November 2009 we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas against the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, or
CSIRO, seeking a declaratory judgment that a certain U.S. patent number is invalid, unenforceable
and not infringed. CSIRO has answered the complaint and counterclaimed for infringement against
Broadcom wireless LAN products and seeking damages, attorneys fees, and an injunction. In
connection with an ex parte reexamination, the Patent Office has recently issued a Reexamination
Certificate allowing the original claims of CSIROs patent and adding some amended claims. On March
31, 2011, the Court granted CSIROs motion to add its amended claims to the case. Trial has been
set for April 2012.
24
In September 2009 we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California against Emulex Corporation, or Emulex, alleging infringement of ten patents
generally relating to networking technologies. In subsequent filings, we added two additional
patents and dropped five patents, bringing the total to seven asserted patents. Our complaints seek
injunctions against Emulex and the recovery of monetary damages, including treble damages for
willful infringement, and attorneys fees. In its answers, Emulex denied liability and asserted
counterclaims seeking a declaratory judgment that the asserted patents are invalid and not
infringed. Trial is set for September 2011.
In August 2010, Broadcom filed a motion to intervene (i.e., to be added as a party) in U.S.
Ethernet Innovations, LLC v. Acer, Inc., Case No. 10-cv-03724-JW (N.D. Cal.). In this case, U.S.
Ethernet Innovations, LLC, or USEI, filed a patent infringement complaint alleging that numerous
companies, including certain Broadcom customers, infringe four patents relating generally to
Ethernet technology. USEI seeks monetary damages, attorneys fees, and an injunction. Defendants
have filed answers denying the allegations in USEIs complaint and asserting counterclaims for
declaratory judgment that USEIs patents are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed. Broadcom
contends that it has a license related to USEIs patents and is seeking to assert this license as a
defense. In December 2010, the Court granted Broadcoms motion to intervene. The Court has
scheduled a claim construction hearing for October 2011, and no trial date has been set.
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010,
since December 2006 Broadcom and its subsidiary, Global Locate, Inc., were engaged in various
litigation matters with SiRF Technology, Inc., which company was later acquired by CSR plc. On
January 10, 2011, Broadcom and CSR announced that the parties had settled all outstanding
litigation between themselves and their subsidiaries. The consideration received and to be received
under the agreement was allocated on a relative fair value basis between a settlement gain, which
was partially recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and patent licensing royalty
revenue. Revenue derived from the patent license will be recognized as licensing revenue.
On December 1, 2010, Rambus Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California against Broadcom, alleging that certain Broadcom products infringe
nineteen patents relating generally to memory controller and high speed interface technologies.
Broadcom filed its response to Rambus complaint on January 26, 2011. On February 23, 2011, the
case was designated as a related case with certain other cases filed by Rambus against third
parties Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., LSI Corporation, MediaTek, Inc., NVIDIA Corporation and
STMicroelectronics N.V. On June 13, 2011, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying
in part Broadcoms motion to stay the action pending completion of certain ITC proceedings
discussed below. The case will be stayed as to nine of the asserted patents, and will move forward
as to the remaining patents. A case management conference has been scheduled for August 4, 2011,
and no trial date has yet been set.
On December 1, 2010, Rambus Inc. filed a complaint in the ITC against Broadcom and numerous
other parties, asserting that Broadcom engaged in unfair trade practices by importing certain
memory controllers and devices having certain accused interface technologies that allegedly
infringe six patents. The complaint seeks an exclusion order to bar importation into the United
States all semiconductor chips that include memory controllers and/or peripheral interfaces that
are manufactured, imported, or sold for importation that infringe any claim of the asserted
patents, and all products incorporating the same. The complaint further seeks a cease and desist
order directing Broadcom and other parties to cease and desist from importing, marketing,
advertising, demonstrating, sampling, warehousing inventory for distribution, offering for sale,
selling, distributing, licensing, or using any semiconductor chips that include memory controllers
and/or peripheral interfaces, and products containing such semiconductor chips, that infringe any
claim of the asserted patents. On December 29, 2010, the ITC voted to institute an investigation
based on Rambus complaint. Broadcom filed its response to the complaint on February 1, 2011. The
deadline for fact discovery in the case has now passed, and expert discovery is in process. Trial
is currently scheduled to commence on October 11, 2011, and the target date for a Final
Determination by the ITC is currently May 4, 2012.
On March 22, 2011, Azure Networks, LLC and Tri-County Excelsior Foundation filed a complaint
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Broadcom, alleging
that certain Broadcom products infringe a certain US patent , allegedly relating to certain
Bluetooth technologies. On July 20, 2011, Broadcom filed a response to the compliant. Discovery in
the action has not yet begun, and no trial date has yet been set.
25
Other Litigation
In November 2009 Emulex filed a complaint in the Central District of California against
Broadcom alleging violation of the antitrust laws, defamation, and unfair competition. The
complaint seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys
fees. In January 2010, Emulex filed an amended complaint in which Emulex removed, among other
things, the claim of unfair competition. In February 2010, we filed motions to dismiss the case and
a motion to strike. In June 2010, the District Court granted in part and denied in part our motion
to dismiss and denied our motion to strike. In July 2010, we filed a notice of appeal of the
District Courts denial of our motion to strike. In November 2010, the parties agreed to a
voluntary stay of the appeal. No trial date has been set for this matter. We intend to defend this
action vigorously.
In April 2011, Motorola Mobility, Inc. (MMI) filed a third-party complaint against Broadcom in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging that we breached a duty to defend,
indemnify, and hold MMI harmless for certain patent infringement claims that MMI is defending. In
the same action, MMI is defending itself against claims for patent infringement brought by Biax
Corporation involving certain U.S. patents. In June 2011, Broadcom filed a motion to dismiss MMIs
third-party complaint. Broadcoms motion is currently pending before the Court.
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010,
from March through August 2006 a number of purported Broadcom shareholders filed putative
shareholder derivative actions, the Options Derivative Actions, against Broadcom, each of the then
members of our Board of Directors and certain current or former officers, alleging, among other
things, that the defendants improperly dated certain Broadcom employee stock option grants. In
addition, two putative shareholder derivative actions were filed in the California Superior Court
for the County of Orange and were subsequently consolidated.
In August 2009 Broadcom, by and through its special litigation committee, plaintiffs and
certain of the defendants executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Partial Settlement, or Partial
Derivative Settlement, in the federal derivative action pertaining to past employee stock option
grants. The Partial Derivative Settlement resolved all claims in the action against the defendants,
other than three individuals: Dr. Henry T. Nicholas, III, our former President and Chief Executive
Officer and former Co-Chairman of the Board, William J. Ruehle, our former Chief Financial Officer,
and Dr. Henry Samueli, our Chief Technical Officer and member of our Board of Directors. In
connection with the Partial Derivative Settlement, Broadcom and certain of the defendants also
entered into a settlement with Broadcoms directors and officers liability insurance carriers, or
Insurance Agreement. In December 2009 the United States District Court for the Central District of
California entered an order granting final approval of the Partial Derivative Settlement. In
January 2010 Dr. Nicholas, Mr. Ruehle, and Dr. Samueli filed notices of appeal of the order in the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
In March 2011, Broadcom, plaintiffs and the three remaining defendants executed a Stipulation
and Agreement of Settlement, or Derivative Settlement, in the federal derivative action. On May 23,
2011, the District Court entered an order granting final approval of the Derivative Settlement.
Pursuant to the Derivative Settlement:
|
- |
|
Broadcom received a payment from Dr. Nicholas of approximately $27 million, which was
recorded as a settlement gain in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income; |
|
|
- |
|
Broadcom cancelled unexercised Broadcom stock options held by Dr. Samueli valued at
approximately $14 million, using a Black-Scholes analysis based on the closing price of
Broadcoms Class A common stock on the date the settlement was deemed final, which amount
was recorded as a settlement gain in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
income. Such stock options were originally valued at $24 million for purposes of the
settlement (using the same methodology used to value equity granted to employees in the
February annual focal compensation review); |
|
|
- |
|
Dr. Samueli contributed approximately $2 million in cash to the Broadcom Foundation
(through Broadcom Corporation), which was recorded as a settlement gain in our unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of income; |
26
|
- |
|
Mr. Ruehle executed and filed a Notice of Dismissal with Prejudice of an action filed
by him against Broadcom, which sought damages in excess of $26 million. On June 28, 2011,
that action was dismissed by the Court; |
|
|
- |
|
Dr. Nicholas, Mr. Ruehle and Dr. Samueli were dismissed with prejudice from the federal
consolidated shareholder derivative litigation; and |
|
|
- |
|
Dr. Nicholas, Mr. Ruehle and Dr. Samueli filed requests for dismissal in the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals of their pending appeals of the Partial Derivative Settlement. On
July 5 and 7, 2011, those appeals were dismissed by the Court. |
Upon Court approval of the Derivative Settlement, Broadcom paid plaintiffs counsel $25
million of the settlement proceeds for attorneys fees, expenses, and costs, which was recorded as
an operating expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition,
Broadcom contributed approximately $25 million to the Broadcom Foundation (which included the $2
million payment from Dr. Samueli discussed above). Such amount was recorded as a charitable
contribution in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
On July 1, 2011, the plaintiffs in the state derivative action filed a request for dismissal
with prejudice of that action. The Court entered an order dismissing the state derivative action on
July 8, 2011.
In April 2008 we delivered a Notice of Arbitration and Arbitration Claim to our former
independent registered public accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP, or E&Y, and certain related
parties. The arbitration relates to the issues that led to the restatement of Broadcoms financial
statements for the periods from 1998 through March 31, 2006 as disclosed in an amended Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 and an amended Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2006, each filed with the SEC January 23, 2007. In May
2008 E&Y delivered a Notice of Defense and Counterclaim. No date for an arbitration hearing has
been scheduled.
We have indemnification agreements with each of our present and former directors and officers,
under which we are generally required to indemnify each such director or officer against expenses,
including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and settlements, arising from the Options Derivative
Actions, and the prior related stock option class actions and SEC and U.S. Attorneys Office
investigations (subject to certain exceptions, including liabilities arising from willful
misconduct, from conduct knowingly contrary to the best interests of Broadcom, or conduct that is
knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or results in improper personal benefit). As
previously reported and more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010, pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, and subject to the terms described more
completely therein, including relinquishing of rights to any further recovery as to the matters
described above under these directors and officers liability insurance policies by Broadcom and
certain of its former and current officers and directors, Broadcom received payments totaling $118
million from its insurance carriers. As of June 30, 2011, in connection with our securities
litigation and related government investigations, we have advanced approximately $176 million to
certain current and former officers for attorney and expert fees, which amount has been expensed.
In December 2010 Nancy Tullos, our former Vice President of Human Resources, sent Broadcom an
arbitration demand seeking approximately $6 million plus attorneys fees and alleging that Broadcom
breached the terms of a 2003 separation agreement by cancelling certain stock options granted to
Ms. Tullos. In January 2011, Broadcom responded, denying her allegations and counterclaiming for
attorneys fees that were advanced to Ms. Tullos in litigations regarding Broadcoms past stock
options practices. In June 2011, the parties entered into a settlement agreement resolving the
claims.
General
We and our subsidiaries are also involved in other legal proceedings, claims and litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business.
27
The pending proceedings involve complex questions of fact and law and will require the
expenditure of significant funds and the diversion of other resources to prosecute and defend. The
results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible.
The resolution of intellectual property litigation may require us to pay damages for past
infringement or to obtain a license under the other partys intellectual property rights that could
require one-time license fees or ongoing royalties, which could adversely impact our product gross
margins in future periods, or could prevent us from manufacturing or selling some of our products
or limit or restrict the type of work that employees involved in such litigation may perform for
us. From time to time we may enter into confidential discussions regarding the potential settlement
of pending litigation or other proceedings; however, there can be no assurance that any such
discussions will occur or will result in a settlement. The settlement of any pending litigation or
other proceeding could require us to incur substantial settlement payments and costs. Furthermore,
the settlement of any intellectual property proceeding may require us to grant a license to certain
of our intellectual property rights to the other party under a cross-license agreement. If any of
those events were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. In addition, from time to time we are approached by holders of
intellectual property to engage in discussions about our obtaining licenses to their intellectual
property. We will disclose the nature of any such discussion if we believe that (i) it is probable
an intellectual property holder will assert a claim of infringement, (ii) there is a reasonable
possibility the outcome (assuming assertion) will be unfavorable, and (iii) the resulting liability
would be material to our financial condition.
10. Business Enterprise Segments, Significant Customer and Geographical Information
Business Enterprise Segments
Broadcom has three reportable segments consistent with our target markets. Our three
reportable segments are: Broadband Communications (Home), Mobile & Wireless (Hand) and
Infrastructure & Networking (Infrastructure). Our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief
operating decision maker, or CODM, reviews financial information at the reporting segment level. In
January 2011, our Mobile Platforms and Wireless Connectivity businesses were combined for internal
reporting purposes which aligns with our externally reported Mobile & Wireless segment.
We also report an All Other category that primarily includes licensing revenue from our
agreement with Verizon Wireless and income from the Qualcomm Agreement since they are principally
the result of corporate efforts. All Other also includes operating expenses that we do not
allocate to our other operating segments as these expenses are not included in the segment
operating performance measures evaluated by our CODM. Operating costs and expenses that are not
allocated include stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangible assets, impairment
of goodwill and other long-lived assets, net settlement costs, net restructuring costs, charitable
contributions, employer payroll tax on certain stock option exercises, and other miscellaneous
expenses related to corporate allocations that were either over or under the original projections
at the beginning of the year. We include stock-based compensation and acquisition-related items in
the All Other category as decisions regarding equity compensation are made at the corporate level
and our CODM reviews reportable segment performance exclusive of these charges. In 2010, we
reclassified the amortization of acquired inventory valuation step-up from its respective
reportable segment into the All Other category, as these charges are the result of acquisition
accounting and we believe these amounts should not be included when measuring our reportable
segments operating performance. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation. Our CODM does not review information regarding total assets, interest
income or income taxes on an operating segment basis. The accounting policies for segment reporting
are the same as for Broadcom as a whole.

Cautionary Statement
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto contained in Part I, Item
1 of this Report. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not a complete
description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our common stock. We urge
you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Report and in our
other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and
8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail.
The section entitled Risk Factors contained in Part II, Item 1A of this Report, and similar
discussions in our other SEC filings, describe some of the important risk factors that may affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity. You should carefully
consider those risks, in addition to the other information in this Report and in our other filings
with the SEC, before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock.
All statements included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements concerning projected total net revenue, costs and expenses and product and total gross
margin; our accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments; the demand for our products; our
dependence on a few key customers and/or design wins for a substantial portion of our revenue; our
ability to consummate acquisitions and integrate their operations successfully; estimates related
to the amount and/or timing of the expensing of unearned stock-based compensation expense and
stock-based compensation as a percentage of revenue; manufacturing, assembly and test capacity; the
effect that economic conditions, seasonality and volume fluctuations in the demand for our
customers consumer-oriented products will have on our quarterly operating results; our ability to
adjust operations in response to changes in demand for existing products and services or the demand
for new products requested by our customers; the competitive nature of and anticipated growth in
our markets; our ability to migrate to smaller process geometries; our success in pending
intellectual property litigation matters; our potential needs for additional capital; inventory and
accounts receivable levels; the amount of research and development tax credits we expect to
generate during 2011; the effect of potential changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws and regulations
or the interpretation thereof; the level of accrued rebates, the impact of the earthquake and other
recent events in Japan on our results of operations; and income we expect to record in connection
with the Qualcomm Agreement or similar arrangements in the future. These forward-looking statements
are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and business,
managements 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 statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could
differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result
of various factors, some of which are listed under the section entitled Risk Factors in Part II,
Item 1A of this Report. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report.
We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement to reflect
future events or circumstances.
Overview
Broadcom Corporation (including our subsidiaries, referred to collectively in this Report as
Broadcom, we, our and us) is a global leader and innovator in semiconductor solutions for
wired and wireless communications. Our products seamlessly deliver voice, video, data and
multimedia connectivity in the home, office and mobile environment. We provide the industrys
broadest portfolio of state-of-the-art system-on-a-chip and embedded software solutions.
We sell our products to leading wired and wireless communications manufacturers in each of our
reportable segments: Broadband Communications (Home), Mobile & Wireless (Hand) and Infrastructure &
Networking
31
(Infrastructure). Because we leverage our technologies across different markets, certain of
our integrated circuits may be incorporated into products used in multiple markets. We utilize
independent foundries and third-party subcontractors to manufacture, assemble and test all of our
semiconductor products.
Our diverse product portfolio includes:
|
|
|
Broadband Communications (Solutions for the Home) Highly integrated solutions for the
connected home, including set-top-boxes and media servers, residential gateways, home
networking, femtocells, high definition TV platforms, consumer electronic products and
digital video recorders (DVRs). |
|
|
|
|
Mobile & Wireless (Solutions for the Hand) Low-power, high-performance and highly
integrated solutions powering the mobile ecosystem, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, cellular
modems, personal navigation and global positioning, near field communications, multimedia
and application processing, and mobile power management solutions. |
|
|
|
|
Infrastructure & Networking (Solutions for Infrastructure) Highly integrated
solutions for carriers, service providers, enterprises, small-to-medium businesses and data
centers for network infrastructure needs, including switches and physical layer (PHY)
devices for local, metropolitan, wide area and storage networking; switch fabric solutions;
and high-speed controllers. |
Our product revenue consists principally of sales of semiconductor devices and, to a lesser
extent, software licenses and royalties, development, support and maintenance agreements, data
services and cancellation fees. The majority of our product sales occur through the efforts of our
direct sales force. The remaining balance of our product sales occurs through distributors. Our
licensing revenue and income is generated from the licensing of our intellectual property, of which
the vast majority to date has been derived from agreements with two customers, Verizon Wireless and
Qualcomm Incorporated. The licensing revenue from our agreement with Verizon Wireless ended in
March 2009 and the income from the Qualcomm Agreement is non-recurring and will terminate in 2013.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to enter into similar arrangements in the future.
At June 30, 2011 we had deferred income of $30 million related to the Qualcomm Agreement.
A detailed discussion of our business may be found in Part I, Item 1, Business, of our 2010
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
In the three months ended June 30, 2011 our net income was $175 million as compared to net
income of $278 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. In the six months ended June 30,
2011 our net income was $403 million as compared to net income of $488 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in profitability in both periods was primarily related to lower
gross margins and an increase in operating expenses including the impairment of our purchased
intangible assets and our charitable contribution. Other highlights during the six months ended
June 30, 2011 include the following:
|
|
|
Our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $3.80 billion at June 30,
2011, compared with $4.06 billion at December 31, 2010. We generated cash flow from
operations of $822 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. |
|
|
|
|
In January 2011 our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the existing dividend
policy pursuant to which we increased our quarterly cash dividend by 12.5% to $0.09 per
share ($0.36 per share on an annual basis) and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09
per share payable to holders of our common stock. |
|
|
|
|
In January 2011 the Compensation Committee adopted a Performance Restricted Stock Units
Incentive Award Program, or the PRSU Program. Under the PRSU Program, and at the sole
discretion of the Compensation Committee, certain of our executives will annually be
designated as participants. The PRSU Program was adopted under, and all awards and grants
under the program shall be pursuant to, the Broadcom Corporation 1998 Stock Incentive Plan,
as amended and restated. The Compensation Committee designated the first performance cycle
under the PRSU Program to be January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. |
32
|
|
|
Pursuant to the PRSU Program, a participant has the opportunity to receive grants of
performance-based RSUs, or PRSUs if the performance targets established by the Compensation
Committee have been met for a performance cycle (typically, January 1 through December 31 of
a subject year). In 2011, our executive officers received PRSUs, in lieu of stock options,
and additionally, continued to receive time-based grants of RSUs. In 2011 we granted 0.2
million PRSUs that were based on 2010 performance targets under the PRSU Program. Under the
terms of the PRSU Program, the award recipients were also awarded grants of the same number
of PRSUs to be made in the subsequent two calendar years on the basis of having met the 2010
performance targets. These PRSU grants were included in both the computation of stock-based
compensation expense and diluted net income per share. |
|
|
|
|
In February 2011 we entered into an accelerated share repurchase, or ASR, agreement to
repurchase $300 million dollars of our Class A common stock, which was recorded as a
reduction to shareholders equity. Under the ASR program, a majority of the shares
repurchased were immediately retired and we received additional shares back at the
conclusion of the program. Under the terms of the ASR, in February 2011 we paid $300
million in cash and immediately received and cancelled six million shares of our Class A
common stock. Under the terms of the agreement, $41 million was pending final settlement
which occurred in May 2011. Subsequently we received an additional one million shares at a
weighted average price of $42.64. |
|
|
|
|
In March 2011 an earthquake occurred off the northeast coast of Japan which has
disrupted the global supply chain for components manufactured in Japan that are
incorporated in our products or included in the end user products of our customers. We
continue to monitor the effect of the events in Japan on end demand patterns and inventory
levels throughout the supply chain. |
|
|
|
|
In April 2011 we completed our acquisition of Provigent Inc., a privately-held company
that provides highly integrated, high performance, mixed signal semiconductors for microwave
backhaul systems. In connection with the acquisition, we paid approximately $314 million,
exclusive of cash assumed, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock and
other equity rights of Provigent. The purchase price was paid in cash, except that a portion
attributable to certain unvested employee stock options was paid in the form of Broadcom
equity awards. The equity awards had a fair value of $4 million, of which less than one
million was recorded to goodwill and the remaining amount will be recognized as stock-based
compensation expense over the next three years. A portion of the cash consideration was
placed into escrow pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement. |
|
|
|
|
In May 2011 we completed our acquisition of SC Square Ltd., a leading security software
developer for $40 million, exclusive of cash acquired. The purchase price was paid in cash,
with a portion of the consideration placed into escrow, pursuant to the terms of the
acquisition agreement. |
|
|
|
|
In May 2011 the court entered an order granting final approval of the Stipulation and
Agreement of Settlement, or Derivative Settlement. In connection with the Derivative
Settlement, we recorded a $43 million settlement gain in our unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of income and paid plaintiffs counsel $25 million of the settlement
proceeds for attorneys fees, expenses, and costs, which was recorded as an operating
expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. |
|
|
|
|
In June 2011 we contributed $25 million to the Broadcom Foundation to support science,
technology, engineering and mathematics programs, as well as a broad range of community
services which was recorded as an operating expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of income. |
|
|
|
|
In June 2011 we recorded a purchased intangible impairment charge of $74 million related
to our acquisition of Beceem Communications, Inc. in 2010. The primary factor contributing
to this impairment charge was a reduction in the forecasted cash flows experienced this
quarter derived from the acquired WiMAX products as wireless service providers have
accelerated their adoption of Long Term Evolution, or LTE, products. |
|
|
|
|
In June 2011 we completed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination of our income
tax returns for 2004 to 2006, executed a closing agreement covering the 2001 to 2006 tax
years, and agreed to certain adjustments for the 2001 to 2006 tax years, primarily related
to intercompany transfer pricing transactions. Such adjustments were offset by net
operating losses and credits, and did not result in any income tax expense or cash tax
liability. |

Factors That May Impact Net Income
Our net income has been affected in the past, and may continue to be affected in the future,
by various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
volume of product sales and corresponding gross margin; |
|
|
|
|
required levels of research and development and other operating costs; |
|
|
|
|
stock-based compensation expense; |
|
|
|
|
licensing and income from intellectual property; |
|
|
|
|
impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets; |
|
|
|
|
deferral of revenue under multiple-element arrangements; |
|
|
|
|
amortization of purchased intangible assets; |
|
|
|
|
cash-based incentive compensation expense; |
|
|
|
|
litigation costs and insurance recoveries; |
|
|
|
|
settlement costs or gains; |
|
|
|
|
adjustments to tax reserves and the results of income tax audits; |
|
|
|
|
the loss of interest income resulting from lower average interest rates and investment
balance reductions resulting from expenditures on repurchases of our Class A common stock,
dividends and acquisitions of businesses; |
|
|
|
|
charitable contributions; |
|
|
|
|
other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities; and |
|
|
|
|
restructuring costs. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net
revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions
related to revenue recognition, rebates, allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and
allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill and
purchased intangible asset valuations, st.ategic investments, deferred income tax asset valuation
allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, self-insurance, restructuring costs,
litigation and other loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts,
historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and
adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates
and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected. For a description of our
critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates section of our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies during the six
months ended June 30, 2011.

Net Revenue. Our product revenue is generated principally by sales of our semiconductor
devices. Our Broadband Communications products include solutions for cable modems, DSL
applications, digital cable, direct broadcast satellite and IP set-top boxes, digital TVs and high
definition DVD and personal video recording devices. Our Mobile & Wireless products include
wireless LAN, cellular, touch controller, GPS, Bluetooth, mobile multimedia and applications
processors, mobile power management and VoIP solutions. Our Infrastructure & Networking products
include Ethernet transceivers, controllers, switches, broadband network and security processors and
server chipsets. Our licensing revenue and income from the Qualcomm Agreement is generated from the
licensing of intellectual property.

The decrease in net revenue from our Broadband Communications reportable segment resulted
primarily from a decrease in demand for our consumer electronics products and set top boxes,
partially offset by an increase in demand for our broadband modems. The increase in net revenue
from our Mobile & Wireless reportable segment resulted primarily from an increase in demand for our
wireless connectivity and cellular solutions. The increase in net revenue from our Infrastructure &
Networking reportable segment resulted primarily from an increase in demand for our Ethernet
switching products offset in part by a reduction in demand for our Ethernet controller products.

The increase in net revenue from our Broadband Communications reportable segment resulted
primarily from an increase in demand for our broadband modem products and set top boxes, offset by
a decrease in demand for our consumer electronics products. The decrease in net revenue from our
Mobile & Wireless reportable segment resulted from a decrease in demand for our wireless
connectivity and cellular solutions. The increase in net revenue from our Infrastructure &
Networking reportable segment resulted primarily from an increase in demand for our Ethernet
switching products offset by a decrease in demand for our Ethernet controller products.
We recorded rebates to certain customers of $163 million, or 9.1% of net revenue, $152
million, or 8.4% of net revenue, and $132 million, or 8.2% of net revenue, in the three months
ended June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011, and June 30, 2010, respectively. We recorded rebates of $314
million, or 8.7% of net revenue and $236 million, or 7.7% of net revenue in the six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in rebates in 2011 was attributable to a change
to the mix in sales to customers that participate in our rebate programs, primarily an increase in
the Mobile & Wireless area. We anticipate that accrued rebates will vary in future periods based
upon the level of overall sales to customers that participate in our rebate programs.
From time to time, our key customers place large orders causing our quarterly net revenue to
fluctuate significantly. We expect that these fluctuations will continue and that they may be
exaggerated by the seasonal variations in consumer products and changes in the overall economic
environment. Additionally, since we own inventory that is physically located in a third partys
warehouse, our ability to effectively manage inventory levels may be impaired, causing our total
inventory turns to decrease, which could increase expenses associated with excess and obsolete
products and negatively impact our cash flow.
For these and other reasons, our total net revenue and results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011 and prior periods may not necessarily be indicative of future net
revenue and results of operations.

Factors That May Impact Net Revenue
The demand for our products and the subsequent recognition of net revenue has been affected in
the past, and may continue to be affected in the future, by various factors, including, but not
limited to, the following:
|
|
|
general economic and specific conditions in the markets we address, including the
continuing volatility in the technology sector and semiconductor industry, trends in the
wired and wireless communications markets in various geographic regions, including
seasonality in sales of consumer products into which our products are incorporated; |
|
|
|
|
the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders and our
ability, as well as the ability of our customers and distributors, to manage inventory; |
40
|
|
|
the timing of our distributors shipments to their customers or when products are
taken by our customers under hubbing arrangements; |
|
|
|
|
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/ramp our
products and technologies; |
|
|
|
|
the qualification, availability and pricing of competing products and technologies
and the resulting effects on sales and pricing of our products; and |
|
|
|
|
the availability of credit and financing, which may lead certain of our customers to
reduce their level of purchases or to seek credit or other accommodations from us. |
Cost of Product Revenue and Product Gross Margin. Cost of product revenue comprises the cost
of our semiconductor devices, which consists of the cost of purchasing finished silicon wafers
manufactured by independent foundries, costs associated with our purchase of assembly, test and
quality assurance services and packaging materials for semiconductor products, as well as royalties
paid to vendors for use of their technology.
Also included in cost of product revenue is the amortization of purchased technology, and
manufacturing overhead, including costs of personnel and equipment associated with manufacturing
support, product warranty costs, provisions for excess and obsolete inventories, and stock-based
compensation expense for personnel engaged in manufacturing support. Product gross margin is
product revenue less cost of product revenue divided by product revenue and does not include income
from the Qualcomm Agreement and revenue from the licensing of intellectual property. Total gross
margin is total net revenue less cost of product revenue divided by total net revenue.
Product gross margin decreased to 49.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to
50.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of (i) an increase in
amortization of purchased intangibles and inventory step-up of $9 million due, in part to our
acquisitions completed over the last twelve months, (ii) a net increase in excess and obsolete
inventory provisions of $5 million due to an increase in the provision for our mobile multimedia
products and (iii) an increase in warranty provisions of $4 million primarily associated with
certain cable television products.
Product gross margin decreased to 49.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to
50.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of (i) a shift in the mix of our
product revenues with more revenues attributable to mobile and wireless products (ii) an increase
in amortization of purchased intangibles and inventory step-up of $17 million primarily due to our
acquisitions completed over the last twelve months, and (iii) a net increase in excess and obsolete
inventory provisions of $15 million due to an increase in the provision for our mobile multimedia
products.
Product gross margin increased to 49.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 48.9% in
the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of both (i) a reduction in the excess
and obsolete inventory provision of $7 million, and (ii) a shift in the mix of our product revenues
with less revenues attributable to mobile and wireless products, offset by an increase in warranty
provisions of $2 million primarily due to certain cable television products.
Factors That May Impact Product Gross Margin
Our product gross margin has been affected in the past, and may continue to be affected in the
future, by various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
our product mix and volume of product sales (including sales to high volume
customers); |
|
|
|
|
the positions of our products in their respective life cycles; |
|
|
|
|
introduction of products with lower margins; |
41
|
|
|
the effects of competition; |
|
|
|
|
the effects of competitive pricing programs and rebates; |
|
|
|
|
provisions for excess and obsolete inventories and their relationship to demand
volatility; |
|
|
|
|
manufacturing cost efficiencies and inefficiencies; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in direct product costs such as silicon wafer costs and assembly,
packaging and testing costs, and other fixed costs; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to create cost advantages through successful integration and convergence; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to advance to the next technology node faster than our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
licensing royalties payable by us; |
|
|
|
|
product warranty costs; |
|
|
|
|
fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets; and |
|
|
|
|
amortization of acquired inventory valuation step-up. |
Typically our newly introduced products have lower gross margins until we commence volume
production and launch lower cost revisions of such products enabling us to benefit from economies
of scale and more efficient designs. Our product and total gross margin may also be impacted by
additional stock-based compensation expense and changes therein, as discussed below, and the
amortization of purchased intangible assets related to future acquisitions.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and related costs of employees
engaged in research, design and development activities, including stock-based compensation expense.
Development and design costs consist primarily of costs related to engineering design tools, mask
and prototyping costs, testing and subcontracting costs. In addition, we incur costs related to
facilities and equipment expense, among other items.

Includes stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options, stock purchase rights
and restricted stock units we issued or assumed in acquisitions. For a further discussion of
stock-based compensation expense, see the section entitled Stock-Based Compensation Expense
below. |
The increase in salaries and benefits and stock based compensation increases were primarily
attributable to an increase in headcount of approximately 1,200 personnel, bringing headcount to
approximately 7,200 at June 30, 2011, which represents a 20.0% increase from our June 30, 2010
levels. Development and design costs increased due to increases in prototyping, engineering costs
and manufacturing expenses. Development and design costs vary from period to period depending on
the timing development and tape-out of various products. The increase in the Other line item in
the above table is primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation, travel and facilities
expenses.
We expect research and development costs to increase as a result of growth in, and the
diversification of, the markets we serve, new product opportunities, the number of design wins that
go into production, changes in our compensation policies, and any expansion into new markets and
technologies.
We remain committed to significant research and development efforts to extend our technology
leadership in the wired and wireless communications markets in which we operate. The majority of
our new products are now designed in 40 nanometer CMOS processes, and we are currently designing
products in 28 nanometer processes. We currently hold more than 5,350 U.S. and more than 2,300
foreign patents and more than 7,650 additional U.S. and foreign pending patent applications. We
maintain an active program of filing for and acquiring additional U.S. and foreign patents in wired
and wireless communications and other fields.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expenses,
including stock-based compensation expense, legal and other professional fees, facilities expenses
and communications expenses.

Includes stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options, stock purchase rights
and restricted stock units we issued or assumed in acquisitions. For a further discussion of
stock-based compensation expense, see the section entitled Stock-Based Compensation Expense
below. |
The increase in salaries and benefits and stock based compensation were primarily attributable
to an increase in headcount of approximately 350 personnel, bringing headcount to approximately
1,700 at June 30, 2011, which represents a 25.9% increase from our June 30, 2010 levels. The
increase in legal and accounting fees primarily related to legal fees associated with the
Derivative Settlement, which included a final $25 million payment to the plaintiffs counsel for
attorneys fees, expenses and costs. Legal fees consist primarily of attorneys fees and expenses
related to our outstanding intellectual property and prior years stock option backdating
securities litigation, patent prosecution and filings and various other transactions. Legal fees
fluctuate from period to period due to the nature, scope, timing and costs of the matters in
litigation. See Note 9 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information. The increase in the Other line item in the above table is primarily
attributable to an increase in travel and facilities expense.

We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to share-based awards, resulting from
stock options, stock purchase rights and restricted stock units we issued or assumed in
acquisitions over their respective service
44
periods. Unearned stock-based compensation is
principally amortized ratably over the service periods of the underlying stock options and
restricted stock units, generally 48 months and 16 quarters, respectively. If there are any
modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested awards, we may be required to accelerate,
increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense. Future stock-based
compensation expense and unearned stock-based compensation will increase to the extent that we
grant additional equity awards to employees or assume unvested equity awards in connection with
acquisitions. The increase in stock-based compensation in the three and six months ended June 30,
2011 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily related to an increase
in headcount as well as the commencement of a new two-year offering period under our employee stock
purchase program, which resulted in a $14 million and $27 million increase in stock-based
compensation expense as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
It is our long-term objective that total stock-based compensation approximates 5% of total net
revenue.
The following table presents details of unearned stock-based compensation currently estimated
to be expensed in the remainder of 2011 through 2015 related to unvested share-based payment
awards:

recognized is 1.4 years. See Note 8 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for a discussion of activity related to share-based awards.

If we acquire additional purchased intangible assets in the future, our cost of product
revenue or operating expenses will be increased by the amortization of those assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In June 2011 we recorded a purchased intangible impairment charge of $74 million related to
our acquisition of Beceem Communications, Inc. in 2010. The primary factor contributing to this
impairment charge was a reduction in the forecasted cash flows experienced this quarter derived
from the acquired WiMAX products as wireless service providers have accelerated their adoption of
Long Term Evolution, LTE, products. In March 2011 we recorded an impairment charge of $9 million
primarily related to a technology license that was acquired in 2008. The primary factor
contributing to this impairment charge was the continued reduction in the forecasted cash flows for
our Blu-ray Disc business. We did not record any impairment charges in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010.
In determining the amount of these impairment charges, we calculated fair values as of the
impairment date for acquired developed technology, in-process research and development and
customer relationships. The fair value for the first two assets was determined using the multiple
period excess earnings method. The fair value of acquired customer relationships was based on the
benefit derived from the incremental revenue and related cash flow as a direct result of the
customer relationship. The fair values were determined using significant unobservable inputs,
categorized as Level 3 inputs.
Settlement Costs (Gains)
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded settlement gains of $45 million
and $50 million, respectively primarily related to the Derivative Settlement. In the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded $1 million and $4 million in settlement costs.
On March 18, 2011, Broadcom announced that the remaining defendants in the federal
consolidated shareholder derivative action relating to the companys historical stock option
accounting practices entered into a settlement. On May 23, 2011, the District Court entered an
order granting final approval of the Derivative Settlement. Pursuant to the Derivative Settlement:
|
- |
|
Broadcom received a payment from Dr. Nicholas of approximately $27 million; |
|
|
- |
|
Broadcom cancelled unexercised Broadcom stock options held by Dr. Samueli valued at
approximately $14 million, using a Black-Scholes analysis based on the closing price of
Broadcoms Class A common stock on the date the settlement was deemed final; Such stock
options were originally valued at $24 million for purposes of the settlement (using the
same methodology used to value equity granted to employees in the February annual focal
compensation review); and |
|
|
- |
|
Dr. Samueli contributed approximately $2 million in cash to the Broadcom Foundation
(through Broadcom Corporation). |
These amounts were recorded as settlement gains in our unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of income. For a further discussion of litigation matters, see Note 9 of Notes to the
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Charitable Contribution
In June 2011 we contributed $25 million to the Broadcom Foundation to support science,
technology, engineering and mathematics programs, as well as a broad range of community services.
This payment was recorded as an operating expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Approximately $2 million of
the $25 million contribution came from Dr. Samueli, who made such payment to Broadcom Corporation
in connection with the settlement of the shareholder derivative litigation as further described in
Note 9.

Interest income, net, reflects interest income earned on cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities balances offset by interest expense. Other income (expense), net, primarily includes
gains and losses on foreign currency transactions.
The decrease in interest income, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as
compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven primarily by interest expense
related to our long-term debt. Our
cash and marketable securities balances increased from $2.49 billion at June 30, 2010 to $3.80
billion at June 30, 2011, primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from
exercise of stock options and stock purchase rights and proceeds from the issuance of our long-term
debt. The annualized average interest rates earned in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
were 0.50% and 0.41%, respectively. The average interest rates earned in the six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010 were 0.52% and 0.40%, respectively. The average interest rate for our long-term
debt in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were 0.45% and 0.44%, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded a tax benefit of $3 million and a tax provision of $1 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and a tax benefit of $2 million and a tax provision
of $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Our effective tax
rates were (2.2)% and 0.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and
(0.7)% and 0.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The difference
between our effective tax rates and the 35% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from foreign
earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, and tax benefits resulting primarily from the expiration of statutes of
limitations for the assessment of taxes in various foreign jurisdictions of $5 million and $6
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $6 million and $7
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. We also recorded a tax
benefit of approximately $4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulting primarily from
the March 22, 2010 decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit case concerning
Xilinx (as disclosed in prior periods). During the quarter ended June 30, 2011 we completed our
analysis under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 for our 2010 acquisition of Beceem
Communications, Inc., and determined there was no resulting material limitation on our ability to
utilize the acquired net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We record net
deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In
making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including
scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning
strategies and recent financial performance. Forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not
required is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. As
a result of our recent cumulative losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, and the
full utilization of our loss carryback opportunities, we have concluded that a full valuation
allowance should be recorded in such jurisdictions.
47
In certain other foreign jurisdictions where we
do not have cumulative losses, we had net deferred tax liabilities of $58 million and $17 million
at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The increase in net deferred tax liabilities
for the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily related to $43 million of net deferred tax
liabilities from our acquisition of Provigent Inc. in April 2011.
We file federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes
of limitations. The 2007 through 2010 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal
and most state tax authorities. In foreign jurisdictions, the 2002 through 2010 tax years generally
remain subject to examination by tax authorities.
On June 30, 2011 we concluded the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination of our income
tax returns for 2004 through 2006, executed a closing agreement covering the 2001 through 2006 tax
years, and agreed to certain adjustments for the 2001 through 2006 tax years, primarily related to
intercompany transfer pricing transactions. Those audit adjustments were offset by federal net
operating losses and credits, and did not result in any income tax expense or cash tax liability
for the Company. As a result of the IRS examination, taking into account effects on post-audit
periods, we reduced our federal net operating losses by approximately $620 million and we reduced
amounts relating to uncertain tax benefits by approximately $180 million as of June 30, 2011. This
reduction in federal net operating loss carryforwards was fully offset with a reduction in our
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and had no impact on our operating results or
financial position. We are currently calculating the reduction of our state net operating loss
carryforwards resulting from the IRS audit, and such reduction will be fully offset with a
corresponding reduction in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and will not impact our
operating results or financial position.
In December, 2010 the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act
of 2010 was enacted. A provision in this legislation provided for the extension of the research and
development tax credit for
qualifying expenditures paid or incurred from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011. As a
result of this legislation, we generated federal research and development tax credits of $90
million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and expect to generate additional research and
development tax credits for the year ended December 31, 2011. These tax credits, if unutilized,
will carry forward to future periods. No tax benefit was recorded for these carryforwards since we
have a full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets.
We operate under tax holidays in Singapore, which are effective through March 2014. The tax
holidays are conditional upon our meeting certain employment and investment thresholds.

Operating Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2011 our operating activities provided $822 million in cash.
This was primarily the result of net income of $403 million and net non-cash operating expenses of
$446 million, offset in part by net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $27
million. In the six months ended June 30, 2010 our operating activities provided $464 million in
cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $488 million and net non-cash operating
expenses of $308 million, offset in part by net cash used by changes in operating assets and
liabilities of $332 million, including our $161 million payment of previously accrued securities
litigation settlement costs.
Our days sales outstanding decreased to 35 from 38 driven primarily by a variation in revenue
linearity, as a smaller percentage of our sales occurred in the last month of the quarter ended
June 30, 2011 as compared to the last month of the quarter ended December 31, 2010. We typically
bill customers on an open account basis subject to our standard net thirty day payment terms. If,
in the longer term, our revenue increases, it is likely that our accounts receivable balance will
also increase. Our accounts receivable could also increase if customers delay their payments or if
we grant extended payment terms to customers, both of which are more likely to occur during
challenging economic times when our customers may have difficulty gaining access to sufficient
credit on a timely basis.
Inventory days on hand remained flat at 57 days. In the future, our inventory levels will
continue to be determined by the level of purchase orders we receive and the stage at which our
products are in their respective product life cycles, our ability, and the ability of our
customers, to manage inventory under hubbing arrangements, and competitive situations in the
marketplace. Such considerations are balanced against the risk of obsolescence or potentially
excess inventory levels.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used $5 million in cash in the six months ended June 30, 2011, which was
primarily the result of $344 million in net cash paid for our acquisitions of Provigent and SC
Square and $97 million of capital equipment purchases to support our research and development
efforts, offset in part by $436 million in net proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable
securities. Investing activities used $270 million in cash in the six months ended June 30, 2010,
which was primarily the result of $113 million in net purchases of marketable securities, $102
million in net cash paid primarily for the acquisition of Teknovus and $47 million of capital
equipment purchases, mostly to support our research and development efforts.
49
Financing Activities
Our financing activities used $642 million in cash in the six months ended June 30, 2011,
which was primarily the result of $670 million in repurchases of shares of our Class A common
stock, dividends paid of $97 million, and $91 million in minimum tax withholding paid on behalf of
employees for shares issued pursuant to restricted stock units, offset in part by $216 million in
proceeds received from issuances of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and pursuant to
our employee stock purchase plan. Our financing activities used $187 million in cash in the six
months ended June 30, 2010, which was primarily the result of $275 million in repurchases of shares
of our Class A common stock, dividends paid of $80 million, repayment of debt assumed in our
Teknovus acquisition of $15 million and $63 million in minimum tax withholding paid on behalf of
employees for shares issued pursuant to restricted stock units, offset in part by $246 million in
proceeds received from issuances of common stock upon exercise of stock options.
The timing and number of stock option exercises and employee stock purchases and the amount of
cash proceeds we receive through those exercises and purchases are not within our control, and in
the future we may not generate as much cash from the exercise of stock options as we have in the
past. Moreover, it is now our general practice to issue a combination of time-based and
performance-based RSUs only to certain employees and, in most cases to issue solely time-based
RSUs. We may issue stock options in the future and currently plan to only do so in connection with
acquisitions. Unlike the exercise of stock options, the issuance of shares upon vesting of
restricted stock units does not result in any cash proceeds to Broadcom and requires the use of
cash, as we currently allow employees to elect to have a portion of the shares issued upon vesting
of restricted stock units withheld to satisfy minimum statutory withholding taxes, which we then
pay in cash to the appropriate tax authorities on each participating employees behalf.

In November 2010 we issued senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $700
million. These Notes consist of $300 million aggregate principal amount of notes which mature in
November 2013, or the 2013 Notes, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.500% per annum, and $400
million aggregate principal amount of notes which mature in November 2015, or the 2015 Notes, and
bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.375% per annum. Interest is payable in cash semi-annually in
arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2011. The 2013 Notes were issued
with an original issue discount at 99.694% and the 2015 Notes were issued with an original issue
discount at 99.444% and are recorded as long-term debt, net of original issue discount. The
discount and debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of the Notes are amortized to
interest expense over their respective terms.
In connection with the Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to
which we agreed to use our reasonable commercial efforts to file with the SEC an exchange offer
registration statement to issue registered notes with substantially identical terms as the Notes in
exchange for any outstanding Notes, or, under certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement
to register the Notes. We plan to file an exchange offer registration statement promptly after this
filing.
We may redeem the Notes at any time, subject to a specified make-whole premium as defined in
the indenture governing the Notes. In the event of a change of control triggering event, each
holder of Notes will have the right to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their
Notes at a redemption price of 101% of the aggregate
50
principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued
and unpaid interest. Default can be triggered by any missed interest or principal payment, breach
of covenant, or in certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.
The Notes contain a number of restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to,
restrictions on our ability to grant liens on assets; enter into sale and lease-back transactions;
or merge, consolidate or sell assets. Failure to comply with these covenants, or any other event of
default, could result in acceleration of the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on
the Notes.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2011.
Credit Facility
In November 2010, we entered into a credit facility with certain institutional lenders that
provides for unsecured revolving facility loans, swingline loans and letters of credit in an
aggregate amount of up to $500 million. The credit facility matures on November 19, 2014, at which
time all outstanding revolving facility loans and accrued and unpaid interest must be repaid. We
did not draw on our credit facility in 2010 or in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Any advances under a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan will accrue interest at the British
Bankers Association LIBOR, or BBA LIBOR, plus the Applicable Rate. Any advances under a US Dollar
Base Rate Committed Loan will accrue interest at rates that are equal to the higher of (a) the
Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% (b) Bank of Americas prime rate as announced from time to time, or
(c) BBA LIBOR plus the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate is based on our senior debt credit
ratings as published by Standard & Poors Rating Services and Moodys Investors Service, Inc. We
are also required to pay a commitment fee on the actual daily unused amount of
commitments. We may also, upon the agreement of the existing lenders, increase the commitments
under the credit facility by up to an additional $100 million.
The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative,
negative and financial covenants. Financial covenants require us to maintain a consolidated
leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of no less
than 3.00 to 1.00.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2011.
Other Notes and Borrowings
We had no other significant notes or borrowings as of June 30, 2011.
Prospective Capital Needs
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with
cash generated from operations and from the issuance of common stock through our employee stock
option and purchase plans, will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs, capital
expenditures, investment requirements, commitments, repurchases of our Class A common stock and
quarterly dividends for at least the next 12 months. However, it is possible that we may need to
draw on our existing credit facility or raise additional funds to finance our activities beyond the
next 12 months or to consummate acquisitions of other businesses, assets, products or technologies.
If needed, we may be able to raise such funds by selling equity or debt securities to the public or
to selected investors, or by borrowing money from financial institutions. We could also reduce
certain expenditures, such as repurchases of our Class A common stock.
We earn a significant amount of our operating income outside the U.S., which income is deemed
to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. For at least the next 12 months, we have
sufficient cash in the U.S. and expect domestic cash flow to sustain our operating activities and
cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as quarterly dividends, share
buy-backs and repayment of debt. In addition, we expect existing foreign cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments, and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our
foreign operating activities and cash commitments for investing activities, such as material
capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months.
51
If we require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our domestic operations, any
taxable income that could result from the repatriation of our foreign earnings would be offset by
our net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards, which are currently subject to a full
valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, and would not be expected to have a material effect
on our operating results or financial position.
In addition, even though we may not need additional funds, we may still elect to sell
additional equity or debt securities or utilize or increase our existing credit facilities for
other reasons. However, we may not be able to obtain additional funds on a timely basis at
acceptable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional equity or
convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing shareholders would be reduced.
In addition, the equity or debt securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges
senior to those of our Class A common stock.
As of June 30, 2011, we have approximately $1.78 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments held by our foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the June 30, 2011 closing
of our IRS audit and agreed adjustments to income for the 2001 through 2006 tax years, during the
quarter ending September 30, 2011, approximately $800 million will be paid from our foreign
subsidiaries to Broadcom Corporation. The income resulting from the IRS adjustments was offset by
net operating loss carryforwards. Any potential additional income, which could result if we were to
repatriate the remaining $1 billion of foreign cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
would be offset by existing net operating loss and research and development tax credit
carryforwards and should not have a material effect on our tax
liabilities.
Our net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards are currently subject
to a full valuation allowance.
Although we believe that we have sufficient capital to fund our activities for at least the
next 12 months, our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned. We
anticipate that the amount of capital we will need in the future will depend on many factors,
including:
|
|
|
general economic and specific conditions in the markets we address, including the
continuing volatility in the technology sector and semiconductor industry, trends in the
wired and wireless communications markets in various geographic regions, including
seasonality in sales of consumer products into which our products are incorporated; |
|
|
|
|
acquisitions of businesses, assets, products or technologies; |
|
|
|
|
the unavailability of credit and financing, which may lead certain of our customers to
reduce their levels of purchases or to seek credit or other accommodations from us; |
|
|
|
|
litigation expenses, settlements and judgments; |
|
|
|
|
the overall levels of sales of our semiconductor products, licensing revenue, income
from the Qualcomm Agreement and product gross margins; |
|
|
|
|
our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans, and
product and technology roadmaps; |
|
|
|
|
the market acceptance of our products; |
|
|
|
|
repurchases of our Class A common stock; |
|
|
|
|
payment of cash dividends; |
|
|
|
|
required levels of research and development and other operating costs; |
|
|
|
|
volume price discounts and customer rebates; |
|
|
|
|
intellectual property disputes, customer indemnification claims and other types of
litigation risks; |
|
|
|
|
the levels of inventory and accounts receivable that we maintain; |
52
|
|
|
licensing royalties payable by us; |
|
|
|
|
changes in our compensation policies; |
|
|
|
|
the issuance of restricted stock units and the related cash payments we make for
withholding taxes due from employees; |
|
|
|
|
capital improvements for new and existing facilities; |
|
|
|
|
technological advances; |
|
|
|
|
our competitors responses to our products and our anticipation of and responses to
their products; |
|
|
|
|
our relationships with suppliers and customers; |
|
|
|
|
the availability and cost of sufficient foundry, assembly and test capacity and
packaging materials; and |
|
|
|
|
the level of exercises of stock options and stock purchases under our employee stock
purchase plan. |
In addition, we may require additional capital to accommodate planned future long-term growth,
hiring, infrastructure and facility needs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2011 we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements, other than our operating
leases.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We manage our total portfolio to encompass a diversified pool of investment-grade securities
to preserve principal and maintain liquidity. The average credit rating of our marketable
securities portfolio by major credit rating agencies was Aa3/AA-. Investments in both fixed rate
and floating rate instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have
their market value adversely impacted due to an increase in interest rates, while floating rate
securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these
factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest
rates or if the decline in fair value of our publicly traded debt investments is judged to be
other-than-temporary. We may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that
have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because any debt
securities we hold are classified as available-for-sale, no gains or losses are realized in the
income statement due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity
or unless declines in value are determined to be other-than-temporary. These securities are
reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders equity, net of tax.
In a declining interest rate environment, as short-term investments mature, reinvestment
occurs at less favorable market rates. Given the short-term nature of certain investments, the
current interest rate environment may continue to negatively impact our investment income.
To assess the interest rate risk associated with our investment portfolio, we performed a
sensitivity analysis to determine the impact a change in interest rates would have on the value of
the investment portfolio assuming a 100 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve. Based on
investment positions as of June 30, 2011, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates across all
maturities would result in a $12 million incremental decline in the fair market value of the
portfolio. As of December 31, 2010, a similar 100 basis point increase in interest rates across all
maturities would result in a $23 million incremental decline in the fair market value of the
portfolio. Such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity.
53
Actual future gains and losses associated with our investments may differ from the sensitivity
analyses performed as of June 30, 2011 due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting
the changes in the timing and level of interest rates and our actual exposures and positions.
A hypothetical increase of 100 basis points in short-term interest rates would not have a
material impact on our revolving credit facility, which bears a floating interest rate. This
sensitivity analysis assumes all other variables will remain constant in future periods.
Our Senior Notes bear fixed interest rates, and therefore, would not be subject to interest
rate risk.
Exchange Rate Risk
We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal.
Currently, sales to customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing
and payment in United States dollars, and, therefore, are not subject to exchange rate
fluctuations. Increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies
could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete.
Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could
result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Fluctuations in
currency exchange rates could affect our business in the future.
54
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We are committed to maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to
apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures
and implementing controls and procedures based on the application of managements judgment.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated
under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a
reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this Report.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Internal Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of management override or improper acts, if any, have been detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of
the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to management
override, error or improper acts may occur and not be detected. Any resulting misstatement or loss
may have an adverse and material effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The information set forth under Note 9 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, is incorporated herein by reference. For an
additional discussion of certain risks associated with legal proceedings, see Risk Factors
immediately below.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the
risks described below in addition to the other information contained in this Report and in our
other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2010 and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below
are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that
we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks
or uncertainties actually occurs with material adverse effects on Broadcom, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and/or liquidity could be seriously harmed. In that event, the
market price for our Class A common stock will likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
55
We face intense competition.
The semiconductor industry in particular and the wired and wireless communications markets are
intensely competitive. We expect competition to continue to increase as new markets develop, as
industry standards become well known and as other competitors enter our business. We expect to
encounter further consolidation in the markets in which we compete.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories and presences in key markets, greater
name recognition, larger customer bases, and significantly greater financial, sales and marketing,
manufacturing, distribution, technical and other resources than we do, and in some cases operate
their own fabrication facilities. These competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or
emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. They may also be able to devote greater
resources to the promotion and sale of their products. We also face competition from newly
established competitors, suppliers of products, and customers who choose to develop their own
semiconductor solutions.
Existing or new competitors may develop technologies that more effectively address our markets
with products that offer enhanced features and functionality, lower power requirements, greater
levels of integration or lower cost. Increased competition also has resulted in and is likely to
continue to result in increased expenditures on research and development, declining average selling
prices, reduced gross margins and loss of market share in certain markets. These factors in turn
create increased pressure to consolidate. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to
compete successfully against current or new competitors. If we do not compete successfully, we may
lose market share in our existing markets and our revenues may fail to increase or may decline.
We depend on a few significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales to a relatively small number of
customers. Sales to our five largest customers represented 40.4% and 35.2% of our total net revenue
in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We expect that our largest customers
will continue to account for a substantial portion of our total net revenue for the foreseeable
future. The loss of any significant customer could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of our revenue in any period may also depend on a single product design
win with a large customer. As a result, the loss of any such key design win or any significant
delay in the ramp of volume production of the customers products into which our product is
designed could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to maintain sales to certain of our key customers or continue to secure key
design wins for a variety of reasons, including:
|
|
|
agreements with our customers typically do not require them to purchase a minimum
quantity of our products; and |
|
|
|
|
our customers can stop incorporating our products into their own products with limited
notice to us and suffer little or no penalty. |
In addition, the majority of our licensing revenues and related income to date has been
derived from agreements with two customers, Verizon Wireless and Qualcomm. Our patent license
agreements with these two customers are expected to result in licensing revenue and related income
of approximately $1.02 billion over a six year period. From January 2008 through June 2011, we
recorded $648 million in licensing revenue and related income derived from Verizon Wireless and
Qualcomm. The licensing revenue from our agreement with Verizon Wireless has ended and the income
from the Qualcomm Agreement is non-recurring and will terminate in 2013. There can be no assurances
that we will be able to enter into additional such arrangements in the future, or that we will be
able to successfully collect the remaining payments due to us under the Qualcomm Agreement in the
event of a default by Qualcomm.
The loss of a key customer or design win, a reduction in sales to any key customer, decrease
in licensing revenue, significant delay in our customers product development plans, or our
inability to attract new significant customers or secure new key design wins could seriously impact
our revenue and materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
56
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly.
Our quarterly net revenue and operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and
are likely to continue to vary from quarter to quarter. Variability in the nature of our operating
results may be attributed to the factors identified throughout this Risk Factors section, many of
which may be outside our control, including:
|
|
|
changes in economic conditions in the markets we address, including the continuing
volatility in the technology sector and semiconductor industry; |
|
|
|
|
seasonality in sales of consumer and enterprise products in which our products are
incorporated; |
|
|
|
|
our dependence on a few significant customers and/or design wins for a substantial
portion of our revenue; |
|
|
|
|
timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders and our ability, as
well as the ability of our customers, to manage inventory; |
|
|
|
|
changes in customer product needs and market acceptance of our products; |
|
|
|
|
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 impact of a significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, severe weather,
tsunamis or other flooding, or a nuclear crisis, as well as interruptions or shortages in
the supply of utilities such as water and electricity, on a key location such as our
corporate headquarters or our Northern California facilities, both of which are located
near major earthquake fault lines; and |
|
|
|
|
the impact of tax examinations. |
We face risks associated with our acquisition strategy.
A key element of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisitions of
businesses, assets, products or technologies. The expansion of our business through acquisitions
allows us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage, increase our
engineering workforce or enhance our technological capabilities. We may not be able to identify or
consummate future acquisitions or realize the desired benefit from these acquisitions.
We face a number of challenges associated with our acquisition strategy that could disrupt our
ongoing business and distract our management team, including:
|
|
|
delays in the timing and successful integration of an acquired companys technologies; |
|
|
|
|
the loss of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
if our actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment
analyses, are less favorable than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability
of these assets, we could incur additional impairment charges; |
|
|
|
|
lower gross margins, revenues and operating income than originally anticipated at the
time of acquisition and other financial challenges; and |
|
|
|
|
becoming subject to intellectual property or other litigation. |
Acquisitions can result in increased debt or contingent liabilities, adverse tax consequences,
warranty or product liability exposure related to acquired assets, additional stock-based
compensation expense, write up of acquired inventory to fair value, and the recording and later
amortization of amounts related to certain purchased intangible assets. In addition, we may record
goodwill and other purchased intangible assets in connection with an acquisition and incur
impairment charges in the future.
We may fail to adjust our operations in response to changes in demand.
Through internal growth and acquisitions, we significantly modified the scope of our
operations and workforce
57
in recent years. Our operations are characterized by a high percentage of costs that are fixed
or difficult to reduce in the short term, such as research and development expenses and our highly
skilled workforce. During some periods, our growth has placed a significant strain on our
management personnel, systems and resources. To respond to periods of increased demand, we will be
required to expand, train, manage and motivate our workforce. Alternatively, in response to the
economic downturn in the markets in the semiconductor industry and communications market, we may be
required to implement restructuring actions and a number of other cost saving measures. All of
these endeavors require substantial management effort. If we are unable to effectively manage our
expanding operations, we may be unable to adjust our business quickly enough to meet competitive
challenges or exploit potential market opportunities, or conversely, we may scale our business too
quickly and the rate of increase in our expenses may exceed the rate of increase in our revenue,
either of which would materially and adversely affect our current or future business.
Our operating results may be adversely impacted by worldwide economic uncertainties and specific
conditions in the markets we address.
We operate primarily in the semiconductor industry, which is cyclical and subject to rapid
change and evolving industry standards. From time to time, the semiconductor industry has
experienced significant downturns characterized by decreases in product demand, excess customer
inventories and accelerated erosion of prices. The semiconductor industry also periodically
experiences increased demand and production capacity constraints, which may affect our ability to
ship products. An increasing number of our products are being incorporated into consumer electronic
products, which are subject to significant seasonality and fluctuations in demand. Economic
volatility can cause extreme difficulties for our customers and vendors to accurately forecast and
plan future business activities. This unpredictability could cause our customers to reduce spending
on our products and services, which would delay and lengthen sales cycles. Furthermore, during
challenging economic times our customers and vendors may face issues gaining timely access to
sufficient credit, which could impact their ability to make timely payments to us. As a result, we
may experience growth patterns that are different than the end demand for products, particularly
during periods of high volatility.
We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or recovery or the
impact of such events on our customers, our vendors or us. The combination of our lengthy sales
cycle coupled with challenging macroeconomic conditions and supply chain cross-dependencies could
have a compound impact on our business. The impact of market volatility is not limited to revenue
but may also affect our product gross margins and other financial metrics. Any downturn in the
semiconductor industry may be severe and prolonged, and any failure of the industry or wired and
wireless communications markets to fully recover from downturns could seriously impact our revenue
and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our stock price is highly volatile.
The market price of our Class A common stock has fluctuated substantially in the past and is
likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. From January 1, 2009
through June 30, 2011 our Class A common stock has traded at prices as low as $15.31 and as high as
$47.39 per share. Fluctuations have occurred and may continue to occur in response to various
factors, many of which we cannot control.
In addition, the market prices of securities of Internet-related, semiconductor and other
technology companies have been and remain volatile. This volatility has significantly affected the
market prices of securities of many technology companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the
operating performance of the specific companies. If our operating results do not meet the
expectations of securities analysts or investors, who may derive their expectations by
extrapolating data from recent historical operating results, the market price of our Class A common
stock will likely decline. Accordingly, you may not be able to resell your shares of common stock
at or above the price you paid. In the past, we, and other companies that have experienced
volatility in the market price of their securities, have been the subject of securities class
action litigation.
Due to the nature of our compensation programs, most of our executive officers sell shares of
our common stock each quarter or otherwise periodically, often pursuant to trading plans
established under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act. As a result, sales of shares by
our executive officers may not be indicative of their respective opinions of Broadcoms performance
at the time of sale or of our potential future performance. Nonetheless, the market price of our
stock may be affected by sales of shares by our executive officers.
58
We may be required to defend against alleged infringement of intellectual property rights of others
and/or may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our own intellectual property rights.
Companies in the semiconductor industry and the wired and wireless communications markets
aggressively protect and pursue their intellectual property rights. From time to time, we receive
notices that claim we have infringed upon, misappropriated or misused other parties proprietary
rights. Additionally, we receive notices that challenge the validity of our patents. Intellectual
property litigation can be expensive, time consuming and distracting to management. An adverse
determination in any of these types of disputes could prevent us from manufacturing or selling some
of our products or could prevent us from enforcing our intellectual property rights.
We may also be required to indemnify some customers and strategic partners under our
agreements if a third party alleges or if a court finds that our products or activities have
infringed upon, misappropriated or misused another partys proprietary rights. We have received
requests from certain customers and strategic partners to include increasingly broad
indemnification provisions in our agreements with them. These indemnification provisions may, in
some circumstances, extend our liability beyond the products we provide to include liability for
combinations of components or system level designs and for consequential damages and/or lost
profits. Even if claims or litigation against us are not valid or successfully asserted, these
claims could result in significant costs and diversion of the attention of management and other key
employees to defend.
Our products may contain technology provided to us by other parties such as contractors,
suppliers or customers. We may have little or no ability to determine in advance whether such
technology infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. Our contractors, suppliers
and licensors may not be required to indemnify us in the event that a claim of infringement is
asserted against us, or they may be required to indemnify us only up to a maximum amount, above
which we would be responsible for any further costs or damages. Any of these claims or litigation
may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, our success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to
protect our intellectual property. It is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third
parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose our technologies and processes. Any of our existing or
future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. We engage in litigation to enforce
or defend our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets, or determine the validity
and scope of the proprietary rights of others, including our customers. If our intellectual
property rights do not adequately protect our technology, our competitors may be able to offer
products similar to ours.
Our software may be derived from open source software, which is generally made available to
the public by its authors and/or other third parties. Open source software is often made available
under licenses, which impose certain obligations in the event we distribute derivative works of the
open source software. These obligations may require us to make source code for the derivative works
available to the public, and/or license such derivative works on different terms than those
customarily used to protect our intellectual property. With respect to our proprietary software, we
generally license such software under terms that prohibit combining it with open source software.
Despite these restrictions, parties may combine our proprietary software with open source software
without our authorization, in which case we might nonetheless be required to release the source
code of our proprietary software.
We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and strategic
partners. We also control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation and other
proprietary information. Despite these efforts, internal or external parties may attempt to copy,
disclose, obtain or use our products, services or technology without our authorization.
Additionally, current, departing or former employees or third parties could attempt to penetrate
our computer systems and networks to misappropriate our proprietary information and technology or
interrupt our business. Because the techniques used by computer hackers and others to access or
sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a
target, we may be unable to anticipate, counter or ameliorate these techniques. As a result, our
technologies and processes may be misappropriated.
We cannot assure you that our efforts to prevent the misappropriation or infringement of our
intellectual property or the intellectual property of our customers will succeed. Identifying
unauthorized use of our products and technologies is difficult and time consuming. The initiation
of litigation may adversely affect our relationships and agreements with certain customers that
have a stake in the outcome of the litigation proceedings. Litigation is very expensive and may
divert the attention of management and other key employees from the operation of the business,
which could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
59
Our business is subject to potential tax liabilities.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. The
amount of income taxes we pay is subject to our interpretation and application of tax laws in
jurisdictions in which we file. Changes in current or future laws or regulations, or the imposition
of new or changed tax laws or regulations or new related interpretations by taxing authorities in
the U.S. or foreign jurisdictions, could adversely affect our results of operations. We are subject
to examinations and tax audits. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these audits will
not have an adverse effect on our net operating loss and research and development tax credit
carryforwards, our financial position, or our operating results.
In certain foreign jurisdictions, we operate under tax holidays and favorable tax incentives.
For instance, in Singapore we operate under tax holidays that reduce taxes on substantially all of
our operating income in that jurisdiction. Such tax holidays and incentives often require us to
meet specified employment and investment criteria in such jurisdictions. In a period of tight
manufacturing capacity, our ability to meet Singaporean content in our products may be more
limited, which may have adverse tax consequences. More generally, if any of our tax holidays or
incentives are terminated or if we fail to meet the criteria to continue to enjoy such holidays or
incentives, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We are subject to order and shipment uncertainties.
It is difficult to accurately predict demand for our semiconductor products. We typically sell
products pursuant to purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments. Customers can
generally cancel, change or defer purchase orders on short notice without incurring a significant
penalty. Our ability to accurately forecast customer demand is further impaired by delays inherent
in our lengthy sales cycle. We operate in a dynamic industry and use significant resources to
develop new products for existing and new markets. After we have developed a product, there is no
guarantee that our customers will integrate our product into their equipment or devices and,
ultimately, bring those equipment and devices incorporating our product to market. In these
situations, we may never produce or deliver a significant number of our products, even after
incurring substantial development expenses. From the time a customer elects to integrate our
solution into their product, it is typically six to 24 months before high volume production of that
product commences. After volume production begins, we cannot be assured that the equipment or
devices incorporating our product will gain market acceptance.
Our products are incorporated into complex devices and systems, creating supply chain cross-
dependencies. Accordingly, supply chain disruptions affecting components of our customers devices
and/or systems could negatively impact the demand for our products, even if the supply of our
products is not directly affected.
Our product demand forecasts are based on multiple assumptions, each of which may introduce
error into our estimates. In the event we overestimate customer demand, we may allocate resources
to manufacturing products that we may not be able to sell. As a result, we could hold excess or
obsolete inventory, which would reduce our profit margins and adversely affect our financial
results. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand or if insufficient manufacturing capacity
is available, we could forego revenue opportunities and potentially lose market share and damage
our customer relationships. Also, due to our industrys shift to just-in-time inventory
management, any disruption in the supply chain could lead to more immediate shortages in product or
component supply. In addition, an increasing percentage of our inventory is maintained under
hubbing arrangements whereby products are delivered to a customer or third party warehouse based
upon the customers projected needs. Under these arrangements, we do not recognize product revenue
until the customer reports that it has removed our product from the warehouse to incorporate into
its end products. Our ability to effectively manage inventory levels may be impaired under our
hubbing arrangements, which could increase expenses associated with excess and obsolete product
inventory and negatively impact our cash flow.
We
manufacture and sell complex products and may be unable to successfully develop and introduce new products.
We expect that a high percentage of our future sales will come from sales of new products. We
sell products in markets that are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry
standards, frequent new product
60
introductions and short product life cycles. The markets for some of these products are new to
us and may be immature and/or unpredictable. These markets may not develop into profitable
opportunities and we have invested substantial resources in emerging technologies that did not
achieve the market acceptance that we had expected. As a result, it is difficult to anticipate our
future revenue streams from, or the sustainability of, our new products.
Our industry is dynamic and we are required to devote significant resources to research and
development to remain competitive. The development of new silicon devices is highly complex, and
due to supply chain cross-dependencies and other issues, we may experience delays in completing the
development, production and introduction of our new products. We may choose to discontinue one or
more products or product development programs to dedicate more resources to other products. The
discontinuation of an existing or planned product may adversely affect our relationship with one or
more of our customers.
Our ability to successfully develop and deliver new products will depend on various factors,
including our ability to:
|
|
|
effectively identify and capitalize upon opportunities in new markets; |
|
|
|
|
timely complete and introduce new integrated products; |
|
|
|
|
transition our semiconductor products to increasingly smaller line width geometries; |
|
|
|
|
license any desired third party technology or intellectual property rights; |
|
|
|
|
obtain sufficient foundry capacity and packaging materials; and |
|
|
|
|
qualify and obtain industry interoperability certification of our products. |
If we are not able to develop and introduce new products in a cost effective and timely
manner, we will be unable to attract new customers or to retain our existing customers which would
materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
We have experienced hardware and software defects and bugs associated with the introduction of
our highly complex products. If any of our products contain defects or bugs, or have reliability,
quality or compatibility problems, our reputation may be damaged and customers may be reluctant to
buy our products. These problems could interrupt or delay sales and shipments of our products to
customers. To alleviate these problems, we may have to divert our resources from other development
efforts. In addition, these problems could result in claims against us by our customers or others,
including possible claims for consequential damages and/or lost profits.
We are exposed to risks associated with our international operations.
We currently obtain substantially all of our manufacturing, assembly and testing services from
suppliers located outside the United States. Products shipped to international destinations,
primarily in Asia, represented 98.6%, and 96.6% of our product revenue in the six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we undertake various sales and marketing activities
through regional offices in a number of countries. We intend to continue expanding our
international business activities and to open other design and operational centers abroad.
International operations are subject to many inherent risks, including but not limited to:
|
|
|
political, social and economic instability; |
|
|
|
|
exposure to different business practices and legal standards, particularly with respect
to intellectual property; |
|
|
|
|
continuation of overseas conflicts and the risk of terrorist attacks and resulting
heightened security; |
|
|
|
|
the imposition of governmental controls and restrictions and unexpected changes in
regulatory requirements;
|
61
|
|
|
nationalization of business and blocking of cash flows; |
|
|
|
|
changes in taxation and tariffs; and |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations. |
Economic conditions in our primary overseas markets, particularly in Asia, may negatively
impact the demand for our products abroad. In particular, the recent earthquake and tsunami in
Japan have disrupted the global supply chain for components manufactured in Japan that are
incorporated in our products or included in the end user products of our customers. Due to cross
dependencies, supply chain disruptions stemming from the occurrences in Japan could negatively
impact the demand for our products including, for example, if our customers are unable to obtain
sufficient supply of other components required for their end products. We continue to monitor the
effect of the events in Japan on end demand patterns and inventory levels throughout the supply
chain. Also, all of our international sales to date have been denominated in U.S. dollars.
Accordingly, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make
our products less competitive in international markets or require us to assume the risk of
denominating certain sales in foreign currencies. We anticipate that these factors will impact our
business to a greater degree as we further expand our international business activities.
We depend on third parties to fabricate, assemble and test our products.
As a fabless semiconductor company, we do not own or operate fabrication, assembly or test
facilities. We rely on third parties to manufacture, assemble and test substantially all of our
semiconductor devices. Accordingly, we cannot directly control our product delivery schedules and
quality assurance. This lack of control could result in product shortages or quality assurance
problems. These issues could delay shipments of our products or increase our assembly or testing
costs. In addition, the increasing capital intensity associated with fabrication in smaller process
geometries may limit our diversity of suppliers.
We do not have long-term agreements with any of our direct or indirect suppliers, including
our manufacturing, assembly or test subcontractors. We typically procure services from these
suppliers on a per order basis. In the event our third-party foundry subcontractors experience a
disruption or limitation of manufacturing, assembly or testing capacity, we may not be able to
obtain alternative manufacturing, assembly and testing services in a timely manner, or at all.
Furthermore, our foundries must have new manufacturing processes qualified if there is a disruption
in an existing process, which could be time-consuming. We could experience significant delays in
product shipments if we are required to find alternative manufactures, assemblers or testers for
our products. We are continuing to develop relationships with additional third-party subcontractors
to assemble and test our products.
Because we rely on outside foundries and other third party suppliers, we face several
significant risks in addition to those discussed above, including:
|
|
|
a lack of guaranteed supply of wafers and other components and potential higher wafer
and component prices due to supply constraints; |
|
|
|
|
the limited availability of, or potential delays in obtaining access to, key process
technologies; and |
|
|
|
|
the location of foundries and other suppliers in regions that are subject to
earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. |
The manufacture of integrated circuits is a highly complex and technologically demanding
process. Our foundries have from time to time experienced lower than anticipated manufacturing
yields. This often occurs during the production of new products or the installation and start-up of
new process technologies. In addition, we are dependent on our foundry subcontractors to
successfully transition to smaller geometry processes.
We may be unable to attract, retain or motivate key personnel.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate senior management
and qualified technical personnel. Competition for these employees is intense. If we are unable to
attract, retain and motivate such personnel in sufficient numbers and on a timely basis, we will
experience difficulty in implementing our current
62
business and product plans. In that event, we may be unable to successfully meet competitive
challenges or to exploit potential market opportunities, which could adversely affect our business
and results of operations.
Government regulation may adversely affect our business.
The effects of regulation on our customers or the industries in which they operate may
materially and adversely impact our business. For example, the Federal Communications Commission,
or FCC, has broad jurisdiction in the United States over many of the devices into which our
products are incorporated. FCC regulatory policies that affect the ability of cable or satellite
operators or telephone companies to offer certain services to their customers or other aspects of
their business may impede sales of our products in the United States. In addition, we may
experience delays if a product incorporating our chips fails to comply with FCC emissions
specifications.
We and our customers are subject to various import and export laws and regulations. Government
export regulations apply to the encryption or other features contained in some of our products. If
we fail to continue to receive licenses or otherwise comply with these regulations, we may be
unable to manufacture the affected products at foreign foundries or ship these products to certain
customers, or we may incur penalties or fines.
Our business may also be subject to regulation by countries other than the United States.
Foreign governments may impose tariffs, duties and other import restrictions on components that we
obtain from non-domestic suppliers and may impose export restrictions on products that we sell
internationally. These tariffs, duties or restrictions could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends.
In January 2010, our Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy pursuant to which Broadcom
would pay quarterly dividends on our common stock. In January 2011, our Board of Directors
increased the quarterly dividend payment. We intend to continue to pay such dividends subject to
capital availability and periodic determinations by our Board of Directors that cash dividends are
in the best interest of our shareholders and are in compliance with all laws and agreements of
Broadcom applicable to the declaration and payment of cash dividends.
Future dividends may be affected by, among other factors:
|
|
|
our views on potential future capital requirements for investments in acquisitions and
the funding of our research and development; |
|
|
|
|
stock repurchase programs; |
|
|
|
|
changes in federal and state income tax laws or corporate laws; and |
|
|
|
|
changes to our business model. |
Our dividend payments may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that we
will continue to increase our dividend payment or declare dividends in any particular amounts or at
all. A reduction in our dividend payments could have a negative effect on our stock price.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult
for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. For example, our Board of
Directors may also issue shares of Class B common stock in connection with certain acquisitions,
which have superior voting rights entitling the holder to ten votes for each share held on matters
that we submit to a shareholder vote (as compared to one vote per share in the case of our Class A
common stock) as well as the right to vote separately as a class. In addition, our Board of
Directors has the authority to fix the rights and preferences of shares of our preferred stock and
to issue shares of common or preferred stock without a shareholder vote. These provisions, among
others, may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change in our
control.
63
Our
co-founders and their affiliates may control the outcome of matters that require the approval of our shareholders.
As of June 30, 2011 our co-founders, directors, executive officers and their respective
affiliates beneficially owned 11.0% of our outstanding common stock and held 52.5% of the total
voting power held by our shareholders. Accordingly, these shareholders currently have enough voting
power to control the outcome of matters that require the approval of our shareholders. These
matters include the election of our Board of Directors, the issuance of additional shares of Class
B common stock, and the approval of most significant corporate transactions, including certain
mergers and consolidations and the sale of substantially all of our assets. In particular, as of
June 30, 2011 our two founders, Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III and Dr. Henry Samueli, beneficially owned
a total of 9.9% of our outstanding common stock and held 52.1% of the total voting power held by
our shareholders. Because of their significant voting stock ownership, we will not be able to
engage in certain transactions, and our shareholders will not be able to effect certain actions or
transactions, without the approval of one or both of these shareholders. Repurchases of shares of
our Class A common stock under our share repurchase program would result in an increase in the
total voting power of our co-founders, directors, executive officers and their affiliates, as well
as other continuing shareholders.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In the three months ended June 30, 2011 we issued an aggregate of 630 shares of Class A common
stock upon conversion of a like number of shares of Class B common stock in connection with their
disposition. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time into one share of Class
A common stock at the option of the holder. The offers and sales of those securities were effected
without registration in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In February 2011 we entered into an accelerated share repurchase, or ASR, agreement to
repurchase shares of our Class A common stock, which was recorded as a reduction to shareholders
equity. Under the ASR program, a majority of the shares repurchased were immediately retired and,
due to the average daily volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock during the
specified term, we received additional shares back at the conclusion of the program.
Under the terms of the ASR, in February 2011 we paid $300 million and immediately received and
cancelled six million shares of our Class A common stock. Under the terms of the agreement, $41
million was pending final settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which occurred in
May 2011. Subsequently, we received an additional one million shares. The repurchases completed
under our ASR were repurchased at a weighted average price of $42.64.
In February 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized an evergreen share
repurchase program intended to offset dilution associated with our stock incentive plans. The
maximum number of shares of our Class A common stock that may be repurchased in any one year
(including under an ASR or other arrangement) is equal to the total number of shares issued
pursuant to our equity awards in the previous year and the current year. The February 2010 share
repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended at any time at the
discretion of the Board of Directors.
In addition to the shares repurchased under our ASR, we repurchased approximately 6 million
and 4 million shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $34.98 and $31.88
per share in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately 10
million and 9 million shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $36.84 and
$30.65 per share in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
