“We had a very good start to our fiscal year 2018 delivering first quarter revenue and earnings towards the upper end of guidance,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Limited. “In the second quarter, we expect to sustain topline momentum with strong data center demand for our networking and enterprise storage products, and a seasonal recovery in broadband access, to offset a sharp seasonal decline in wireless. Importantly, we expect gross margin to expand and drive free cash flow above our long term target of 40 percent of revenue.”

427M

34M

461M

•

Non-GAAP net revenue includes $3 million of licensing revenue not included in GAAP revenue, as a result of the effects of purchase accounting for acquisitions;

•

Non-GAAP gross margin includes the effects of $3 million of licensing revenue, and excludes the effects of $765 million of amortization of intangible assets, $25 million of share-based compensation expense, $1 million of restructuring charges, and $1 million of acquisition-related costs;

•

Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude $280 million of share-based compensation expense, $90 million of acquisition-related costs, $70 million of amortization of intangible assets, and $45 million of restructuring charges;

•

Non-GAAP tax provision is $47 million higher than GAAP due to the tax effects of the projected reconciling items noted above; and

•

Non-GAAP diluted share count includes the impact of the LP Units on anif-converted basis, which were not included in projected GAAP diluted share count because their effect is expected to be antidilutive, and excludes the impact of share-based compensation expense expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the Company’s financial statements, which would otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.

Capital expenditures for the second fiscal quarter are expected to be approximately $190 million. For the second fiscal quarter, depreciation is expected to be $130 million and amortization is expected to be approximately $840 million.

The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release. Among other things, this guidance is based on an initial estimate of purchase accounting adjustments and allocations, all of which are subject to revision. The guidance also excludes the impact of any additional mergers, acquisitions and divestiture activity that may occur during the quarter. Actual results will vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Interim Dividend

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a quarterly, interim cash dividend of $1.75 per ordinary share. A corresponding distribution will also be paid by the Partnership, of which the Company is the General Partner, to holders of LP Units, in the amount of $1.75 per LP Unit.

The dividend and the distribution are both payable on March 29, 2018 to shareholders or unitholders of record, as applicable, at the close of business (5:00 p.m.) Eastern Time on March 22, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP reporting, Broadcom provides investors with net revenue, net income, operating income, gross margin, operating expenses and other data on anon-GAAP basis. Thisnon-GAAP information includes the effect, where applicable, of purchase accounting on revenue, and excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, restructuring, impairment and disposal charges, acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, purchase accounting effect on inventory, litigation settlements, debt-related costs, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on disposition of assets, income (loss) from discontinued operations andnon-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments. Management does not believe that these items are reflective of the Company’s underlying performance. However, internally, thesenon-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating the core operating performance of the Company, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations

compare to the Company’s operations, and benchmarking performance externally against the Company’s competitors. The presentation of these and other similar items in Broadcom’snon-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items arenon-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Broadcom believes thisnon-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company’son-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company’son-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. Thesenon-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP andnon-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release.
