Conflict Minerals Report
Reporting Period: January 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016

Qualcomm Incorporated is a world leader in 3G, 4G and next-generation wireless technologies. Qualcomm Incorporated includes our licensing business and the vast majority of our patent portfolio. Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, operates, along with its subsidiaries, all of our engineering, research and development functions, and all of our products and services businesses, including our integrated circuit businesses. In this document, the words “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to Qualcomm Incorporated, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or their subsidiaries.
This Conflict Minerals Report (this Report) contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, products and conflict minerals efforts, including steps we have taken or intend to take to mitigate the risk that conflict minerals in our products directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups (identified as a perpetrator of serious human rights abuses) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country (a country that shares an internationally recognized border with the DRC, collectively with the DRC the “Covered Countries:” Angola, Burundi, Central Africa Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia). Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “strives” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this Report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.
Although forward-looking statements in this Report reflect our good faith judgment, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include without limitation: the risk that information reported to us by our suppliers from which we directly procure finished goods, components, materials and/or services for our products (direct suppliers), or industry information used by us, may be inaccurate; the risk that smelters or refiners (processing facilities) may not participate in the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP), which is a voluntary initiative in which independent third parties audit processing facilities’ procurement and processing activities and determine if the processing facilities maintain sufficient documentation to reasonably demonstrate conflict free sourcing; as well as risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those related to our customer concentration, our dependence on a limited number of third-party suppliers and our being subject to government regulations and policies. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Report. Throughout this Report, whenever a reference is made to our website, such reference does not incorporate information from the website by reference into this Report unless specifically identified as such.


Background
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) promulgated rules (the Final Rule) requiring certain companies with “conflict minerals” (columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten) that are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by or for

1



that company to, among other things, disclose annually whether any of those conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries; and if so, to submit a report to the SEC that includes a description of the measures it took to exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody.
In anticipation of the Final Rule, the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) established an initiative that is known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). The CFSI, which is comprised of over 350 companies from multiple industries, together with the EICC and GeSI, strive to promote the improvement of human welfare and the environment through responsible and proactive supply chain management in conflict affected and high risk areas globally.
We are a member of the EICC, have adopted the EICC Code of Conduct and expect all of our direct suppliers to act in accordance with this Code of Conduct. By employing EICC tools and working collaboratively with our peers, we are working to improve transparency and sustainability in the global electronics supply chain. We hold a position on the Board of Directors of the EICC and actively participate in and support the CFSI’s responsible sourcing initiatives.
We, along with many other companies, rely on the CFSI’s CFSP to verify processing facilities as not directly or indirectly financing or benefiting armed groups in the Covered Countries (CFSP-compliant). The CFSI also recognizes responsible sourcing practices of processing facilities that have been accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) or certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).


Summary
In accordance with the Final Rule, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) that was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the necessary conflict minerals in our products originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.
Based on our RCOI, we have reason to believe that some of the necessary conflict minerals used in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries (and may not have been from recycled or scrap sources). Accordingly, we exercised due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of these conflict minerals. Our due diligence was designed to conform to an internationally recognized due diligence framework, specifically the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) “Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Guidance),” 3rd edition (2016).
Following the exercise of our due diligence (which is inherently subject to and limited by our ability to obtain reliable mine or location of origin information for conflict minerals that are used specifically in our products), we have not identified any instances in which our sourcing of necessary conflict minerals directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries.

2



wireless devices providing voice and data communications, as well as multimedia applications and global positioning functions. In addition, our Snapdragon processors provide advanced application and graphics processing capabilities. Because of our experience in designing and developing CDMA- and OFDMA-based products, we design both the baseband integrated circuit and the supporting system as well, including the RF (Radio Frequency), PM (Power Management) and wireless connectivity integrated circuits. Our portfolio of RF products includes Qualcomm Front End radio frequency front-end components.
Our wireless integrated circuit products are also sold to manufacturers that use our products for wireless local area network (WLAN), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart, frequency modulation and near field communications, as well as technologies that support location data and services and for implementation of small cells. Our networking products include WLAN, Powerline and Ethernet integrated circuits and network processors.
Revenues from the sale of integrated circuit products comprised greater than 99% of the total revenues for our products described in this Report during the reporting period.
II.
Other Products
Our other products include modem cards and wireless medical devices. Revenues from the sale of such other products comprised less than 1% of the total revenues for our products described in this Report during the reporting period.


Description of Supply Chain
During the reporting period, we utilized a fabless production model in the manufacturing of our integrated circuits, which means that we did not own or operate foundries for the production of silicon wafers from which our integrated circuits were made. Integrated circuits are die cut from silicon wafers that have completed the package assembly and test manufacturing processes. We employ both turnkey and two-stage manufacturing models to purchase our integrated circuits. Under the turnkey model, our foundry suppliers are responsible for delivering fully assembled and tested integrated circuits. Under the two-stage manufacturing model, we purchase die in singular or wafer form from semiconductor manufacturing foundries and contract with separate third-party suppliers for manufacturing services such as wafer bump, probe, assembly and final test. We rely on our direct suppliers to perform the manufacturing and assembly, and most of the testing, of our integrated circuits based primarily on our proprietary designs and test programs. Our direct suppliers and, in turn, their suppliers, are responsible for the procurement of most of the raw materials used in the production of our integrated circuits. Certain materials purchased by our direct suppliers may come directly or indirectly from processing facilities that treat ores, concentrates, slags or secondary materials. Because we do not purchase any materials directly from these processing facilities, we must rely on the information provided by our direct suppliers and the CFSI or other industry organizations in order to prepare this Report.
Our other products are primarily contracted to be manufactured as finished goods with the contract manufacturer responsible for the procurement of the materials and components that comprise these products.

Conflict Free Minerals Policy
Our conflict free minerals policy communicates the expectation that our direct suppliers obtain materials from environmentally and socially responsible sources, including conflict free sources within the Covered Countries (available at: https://www.qualcomm.com/company/sustainability/products/conflict-free-minerals).


Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
In accordance with the Final Rule, we conducted in good faith an RCOI that was reasonably designed to determine whether or not any of the necessary conflict minerals in our products originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.
To conduct our RCOI and obtain sourcing information from our direct suppliers, we used the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). We requested this information and received responses from 100% of our direct suppliers that may use necessary conflict minerals in our products to determine whether any of these materials originated in the Covered Countries.
Our RCOI considered the countries of origin information obtained from our direct suppliers and CFSP-compliant processing facilities’ country of origin data available to CFSI members. Based on these sources of country of origin information, approximately 5% (16) of the processing facilities reported by our direct suppliers were confirmed as sourcing conflict minerals from the Covered Countries.


Design of Due Diligence
Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, to the framework provided by the OECD Guidance.
OECD Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems
We publicly communicate our conflict free minerals policy on our website.
We maintain a conflict minerals working group with representation from our finance, government affairs, internal audit, legal, regulatory, quality and supply chain departments, which report on compliance activities to executive management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We include conflict free minerals requirements in purchasing documents to direct suppliers.
We maintain a public contact form on our website for general inquiries and grievances regarding our conflict minerals program (available at:
https://www.qualcomm.com/company/sustainability/products/conflict-free-minerals/contact-us).
OECD Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
We use the CMRT to review our direct suppliers’ due diligence activities, such as whether they have a conflict minerals policy, require their own suppliers to source from CFSP-compliant processing facilities, and have a review process that includes corrective action management.
We use the CMRT to identify conflict minerals processing facilities when reported in our supply chain by our direct suppliers.

4



We obtain countries of origin information (when available) for CFSP-compliant processing facilities by relying on data provided by our direct suppliers and the CFSI.
We conduct on-site and remote assessments of our direct suppliers’ due diligence activities to validate CMRT responses and ensure our supplier requirements are being met.
We participate in CFSP site visits to processing facilities to encourage participation in the CFSP.
OECD Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risk
We maintain a conflict minerals risk management plan that sets forth direct supplier risk management strategies ranging from continued procurement to disengagement at the discretion of management.
We support the development of due diligence practices through participation in CFSI working groups.
We report information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain to our conflict minerals working group, executive management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
OECD Step 4: Third-Party Audit of Processing Facilities’ Due Diligence Practices
We use the publicly available results of the CFSP, LBMA and RJC third-party audits to validate the responsible sourcing practices of processing facilities in our supply chain.
We support independent third-party audits of processing facilities through our CFSI membership.
OECD Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence
We file a Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report with the SEC on an annual basis. Our Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report are also available on our website.
We provide information regarding our conflict minerals program in the Qualcomm Sustainability Report, in our Conflict Minerals White Paper “Supporting a Conflict Free Supply Chain” and on our conflict minerals website.


Description of Due Diligence Performed
Below is a description of the measures we performed for this reporting period to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our necessary conflict minerals that may have originated in the Covered Countries.
We conducted our supply chain survey on 100% of our direct suppliers that may use necessary conflict minerals in our products to determine whether any of these minerals originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.
We determined if the processing facilities reported to us by our direct suppliers adhere to responsible sourcing practices by verifying whether they are CFSP-compliant.
We communicated and addressed instances identified in the CMRT with our direct suppliers in which our requirements were not met or quality issues were apparent. This communication reinforced our requirements to support the sourcing of materials from conflict free sources within the Covered Countries.
We conducted four on-site and one remote conflict minerals verification assessments of due diligence activities performed by integrated circuit direct suppliers. The assessments included identifying improvement opportunities and corrective actions.

5



We participated in five CFSP site visits to processing facilities in Asia to encourage participation in the CFSP. Of the five processing facilities visited, four became CFSP-compliant during the reporting period.
We presented at the International Precious Metals Institute (IPMI) conference to encourage the participation of processing facilities in the CFSP.
We were members of non-profit and industry initiatives, including the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade, CFSI and the iTSCi Programme.
We provided funding to non-profit and industry initiatives, including the Responsible Minerals Multi-Stakeholder Network, Pact, the iTSCi Programme and the CFSP Initial Audit Fund.
We reported on program activities to members of executive management four times and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors one time in 2016.


Facilities Used to Process the Necessary Conflict Minerals in Our Products
We rely on the good faith efforts of our direct suppliers to provide us with reasonable representations of the processing facilities used to supply the necessary conflict minerals in our products. In the reporting period, 36% of our direct supplier responses represented their supply chain at a company level, 33% at a product level and 31% at a supplier-defined level (e.g., at a divisional or subsidiary level). As such, the list of processing facilities disclosed at the end of this Report may over-represent the number of processing facilities that process the conflict minerals contained in our products.
All processing facilities listed in this Report are reported by CFSP status in tables 1, 2 and 3 in the section “Tables of Conflict Minerals Processing Facilities” at the end of this Report.

Country of Origin of the Necessary Conflict Minerals in Our Products
Based on country of origin information provided by the CFSI for CFSP-compliant processing facilities, countries of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in our products may include: Australia, Austria, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Brazil, Burundi, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, France, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Spain, Thailand, Uganda, United States of America, Uzbekistan, Viet Nam and Zimbabwe.


Our Efforts to Determine the Mine or Location of Origin of the Necessary Conflict Minerals in Our Products
We requested location of mine and location of origin information for the necessary conflict minerals contained in our products from each of our direct suppliers using the CMRT. In some instances, our direct suppliers reported the name or location of the mine. However, many of our direct suppliers were unable to obtain reliable mine or location of origin data for the necessary conflict minerals.


Steps We Have Taken to Mitigate the Risk that our Necessary Conflict Minerals Benefit Armed Groups

6



Through our efforts to work with our direct suppliers on responsible sourcing and our active participation in the CFSI, we continued to see improvements in the number of CFSP-compliant and CFSP-active status processing facilities that may supply conflict minerals contained in our integrated circuit products.
Figure 1 displays the CFSP status of processing facilities in our integrated circuit products supply chain from reporting year 2013 to 2016. From reporting year 2015 to 2016, CFSP-compliant processing facilities in our integrated circuit products supply chain increased from 142 to 180.
Figure 1: 2013-2016 Processing Facilities by CFSP Status for Integrated Circuit Products
figure1v3.jpg
Note: CFSP-compliant processing facilities are compliant with the CFSP audit protocols and include processing facilities currently undergoing a re-audit or processing facilities certified by the LBMA or RJC. CFSP-active processing facilities have committed to undergo a CFSP audit. Non-participating processing facilities meet the definition of a smelter or refiner under the CFSP protocols but are not participating in the CFSP.

Steps We Will Take to Mitigate the Risk that our Necessary Conflict Minerals Benefit Armed Groups
During reporting year 2017, we intend to conduct the following due diligence activities to continue to mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
1.
Engage with direct suppliers, processing facilities and the CFSI to encourage non-participating processing facilities to become CFSP-compliant;

7



2.
Strive to use only direct suppliers that source from CFSP-compliant processing facilities for our integrated circuit and other products;
3.
Conduct on-site verification assessments of certain suppliers’ due diligence activities;
4.
Conduct due diligence on new businesses acquired to assess the risk of conflict minerals in the acquired business supply chain; and
5.
Participate in the following industry coalitions’ and non-governmental organizations’ efforts to support the responsible sourcing of minerals: EICC, CFSI, ITRI, Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade, Pact and the Responsible Minerals Multi-Stakeholder Network.
