99.1   April 23, 2003 Press Release by QUALCOMM Incorporated

Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

     In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 33-8216, the following information, which is intended to be furnished under Item 12, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” is instead being furnished under Item 9, “Regulation FD Disclosure.”

     On April 23, 2003, QUALCOMM Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the Company’s financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2003. The full text of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

     The attached press release presents financial information excluding the QUALCOMM Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment, which would otherwise be required by GAAP. The Company presents such non-GAAP information to facilitate evaluation by management, investors and analysts of its ongoing core operating businesses, including QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies (QCT), QUALCOMM Technology Licensing (QTL) and QUALCOMM Wireless and Internet (QWI). QSI results relate to strategic investments for which the Company has exit strategies of varying durations. The Company’s management believes that the information excluding QSI presents a more representative measure of the operating and liquidity performance of the Company because it excludes the effect of fluctuations in value of investments that are unrelated to the Company’s operational performance. The financial information excluding QSI should be considered in addition, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between total QUALCOMM results and results excluding QSI are presented in the press release.
