Broadcom Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2003 Results

Conference Call to be Webcast Today at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time

IRVINE, Calif. — January 27, 2004 — Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM) today reported financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2003.

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 was a record $479.1 million, an increase of 12.6% from the $425.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2003 and an increase of 61.9% from the $295.9 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2002. Net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $6.1 million, or $.02 per share (diluted), compared with a GAAP net loss of $6.3 million, or $.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of 2003, and a GAAP net loss of $1.758 billion, or $6.40 per share (basic and diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2002.

Broadcom reports net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP and additionally on a non-GAAP basis, referred to as pro forma, which excludes the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, employer payroll tax expense on certain stock option exercises, certain charges such as impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, stock option exchange expense, settlement costs, restructuring costs, gains or losses on strategic investments, non-operating gains, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and related income tax effects.

After excluding these charges, gains and effects included in GAAP reporting, pro forma net income for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $61.3 million, or $.19 per share (diluted). This compares with pro forma net income of $43.8 million, or $.14 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of 2003, and pro forma net loss of $6.6 million, or $.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2002. Except for the settlement costs, substantially all of the charges and effects excluded from pro forma reporting for the fourth quarter of 2003 were non-cash.

GAAP net income per share for the fourth quarter of 2003 was based on 330.8 million weighted average shares outstanding (diluted). GAAP net loss per share for the third quarter of 2003 was based on 297.3 million weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted). Pro forma net income per share for the fourth quarter of 2003 was based on 330.8 million weighted average shares outstanding (diluted), compared with 319.9 million weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) for the third quarter of 2003. Both GAAP net loss per share and pro forma net loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2002 were based on 274.5 million weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted).

Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1.610 billion, an increase of 48.7% from the $1.083 billion reported for the year ended December 31, 2002. GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $959.9 million, or $3.29 per share (basic and diluted), compared with a GAAP net loss of $2.237 billion, or $8.35 per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 (computed by excluding the charges, gains and effects described in the pro forma definition above) was $151.7 million, or $.49 per share (diluted). This compares with a pro forma net loss of $54.4 million, or $.20 per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2002.

GAAP net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2003 was based on 292.0 million weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted). Pro forma net income per share for the

year ended December 31, 2003 was based on 311.7 million weighted average shares outstanding (diluted). Both GAAP net loss per share and pro forma net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 were based on 268.0 million weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted).

Broadcom believes pro forma reporting provides meaningful insight into the company’s on-going economic performance and therefore uses pro forma reporting internally to evaluate and manage the company’s operations. Broadcom has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors to enable them to perform additional comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to pro forma net income (loss) appears in the financial statements portion of this release.

“Our fourth quarter results mark the close of what has been a remarkable year for Broadcom,” said Alan E. “Lanny” Ross, Broadcom’s President and CEO. “In the fourth quarter, we generated record revenue of $479.1 million, driven by successfully expanding the revenue generated across all of our business groups. These revenue sources, along with other new product and market initiatives to be announced in 2004, are expected to provide a solid foundation for Broadcom to build upon as we look into 2004 and beyond.”

Fourth quarter revenue of $479.1 million represented a record level for Broadcom and marked the tenth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth. The sequential revenue increase of nearly 13% in the fourth quarter continued to be driven by growth in a variety of Broadcom’s product lines.

Fiscal year 2003 revenue of $1.610 billion represented an increase of nearly 49% over fiscal year 2002. This growth was driven by Broadcom’s ability to continue to bring new products to market for existing customers, such as wireless LAN, personal video recording (PVR) and Gigabit Ethernet products for the Company’s cable- and enterprise-related customers. Broadcom also introduced new products into new markets, such as the markets for wireless LAN, mobile handset, Bluetooth®, high definition (HD) functionality and satellite set-top box applications, which began to ramp in 2003.

Broadcom also launched a number of initiatives to scale the organization for 2004 and beyond. In September 2003 the Company implemented a realignment of its businesses into four strategic business groups, to more closely align technology and products with its customers and their end markets. The total number of Broadcom employees at the end of fiscal 2003 was 2,774, up only 8% year-over-year, and total pro forma operating expenses fell about 1%, while revenue grew nearly 49%, as compared with fiscal 2002.

Following is a review of selected key accomplishments and progress of the Company related to the fourth quarter of 2003:

Demonstrating the industry-wide adoption of Broadcom® Ethernet technologies, the Company announced that it had surpassed the 800 million Ethernet port shipment milestone, including the shipment of over 300 million complete switch ports to Tier 1 networking and PC original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) worldwide. Broadcom is unique in that it offers a comprehensive Ethernet product line, enabling the Company to provide Ethernet solutions to its customers that include PHYs, serializers/deserializers, network processors, switch fabrics, ASICs, broadband processors, network interface card and LAN on motherboard applications, software, and complete reference designs.

Broadcom saw continued success driving the adoption of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to Tier 1 OEMs and leading ODMs in the personal computer (PC), notebook and server end markets. To help continue this momentum, Broadcom began shipments in the fourth quarter of the world’s first family of Gigabit Ethernet controllers that implement the advanced PCI Express™ host interface. In addition to being first to market with this next generation host interface, Broadcom announced solutions designed to specifically address the unique needs of the server, desktop and notebook markets.

Within the server I/O and storage markets, Broadcom’s ServerWorks subsidiary began sampling its next generation SystemI/O™ server chipset, the GC-SLX, which supports a front side bus running at 800 MHz in both one and two-processor server applications. In the storage market, Broadcom’s serial

4


 

ATA drive management processor family was chosen as one of EDN’s Hot 100 Products of 2003, recognizing the product’s flexibility in managing the parallel-ATA-to-serial-ATA technology transition.

Broadcom continued to experience solid growth in the Gigabit Ethernet networking infrastructure market, driven by its leading market share position in both PHYs and switches. In addition to the continued ramp of Gigabit Ethernet, Broadcom’s Fast Ethernet products experienced record results driven by the adoption of switching technologies into new products such as wireless, cable and DSL gateways and continued international demand.

The Company recently announced that it had surpassed the 11 million 54g™ wireless LAN chipset milestone, following the introduction of 54g™ in November 2002. According to the December 2003 report from NPD Group, Broadcom’s share of the U.S. retail market for 802.11g products in the month of November was 78%. The Company continues to gain momentum by delivering its second generation 802.11g solutions to leading wireless LAN vendors, notebook PC manufacturers and broadband modem suppliers including Apple, Belkin, Buffalo, Dell, eMachines, Fujitsu, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, Linksys/Cisco, Microsoft, Motorola and others.

Within the Bluetooth market, Broadcom continued to lead the industry in providing the broadest line of products to be qualified by the Bluetooth Qualification Board to meet the latest version of the core Bluetooth specification — version 1.2. Products meeting this specification include the BCM2004 radio-only device, which works in conjunction with QUALCOMM’s MSM5xxx and MSM6xxx CDMA chipsets to provide a complete CDMA handset reference design. The other products that meet the latest Bluetooth specification include the BCM2040, which is built into the Apple® wireless mouse and keyboard, and the BCM2035 highly integrated single-chip Bluetooth host device for PCs, PDAs and GSM/GPRS/UMTS mobile phones from Motorola and other customers.

To enhance and differentiate its diverse wireless solutions, Broadcom announced its InConcert™ software, which allows wireless devices to collaboratively co-exist within the same radio

5


 

frequency. This software solution enables Broadcom’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi® products to perform better than discrete Wi-Fi and Bluetooth solutions when used together in an end product.

Within the mobile handset and device area, AT&T Wireless is using Broadcom’s EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) technology, which is incorporated into Sony Ericsson’s GC82 PC card for use in AT&T’s EDGE cellular network. Sony Ericsson and Broadcom were the first companies in the world to achieve full type approval (FTA) for a Class 10 EDGE terminal with four receive data and two transmit data slots. Broadcom’s recent success in the EDGE market was complemented by its success with numerous customers in the GSM/GPRS market.

The Company was also able to further penetrate the satellite set-top box market with its unique front and back end solutions. Broadcom continues to benefit from the migration to higher end cable and satellite set-top boxes, which include high definition and/or PVR solutions. Broadcom recently expanded its product offering to set-top box manufactures by introducing products that integrate the equivalent functionality of two separate set-top boxes into a single chip in order to help customers lower the cost of providing video services within a household with multiple TVs. The depth and breadth of advanced cable and set-top technologies resident within Broadcom is unique in the industry and has helped capture key designs at EchoStar. Additionally, Broadcom’s satellite set-top box HD and PVR solutions helped enable DIRECTV to win the Best of Innovations award in the Satellite Systems category at the recent Consumer Electronics Association show.

Within the ADSL market, Thomson, one of the world’s leading providers of ADSL consumer premises equipment (CPE), began shipping a new SpeedTouch® ADSL modem, based on Broadcom’s family of single chip ADSL CPE devices. In addition, Broadcom began shipping ADSL CPE products specifically designed to meet the needs of the large and fast growing China ADSL market.

Earlier this month, Broadcom announced its intention to enter the consumer television market by beginning shipments of the BCM7038, the industry’s first single-chip, dual channel HD

6


 

video/audio/graphics and PVR solution for digital televisions as well as for cable and satellite set-top boxes and HD-DVD players. This single-chip solution also offers customers the ability to support the delivery of HD broadcasting to multiple television receivers in the home and includes other video features often found only in professional broadcast engineering environments, at prices targeted for the consumer television market.

“As we look into 2004 and beyond, we are encouraged that the economy is beginning to show signs of improvement and many of our enterprise and digital consumer oriented end markets and end customers appear poised to perform better than in 2003,” Mr. Ross said. “Our goals for 2004 are to continue to make our customer experience the best in the industry, scaling all aspects of our organization and continuing our record of superior engineering execution.”

However, Broadcom believes pro forma non-GAAP reporting provides meaningful insight into the company’s on-going economic performance and therefore uses pro forma non-GAAP reporting internally to evaluate and manage the company’s operations. Broadcom has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors to enable them to perform additional comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
