Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995:
All statements included or incorporated by reference in Broadcom's
presentation at the conferences described above, other than statements or
characterizations of historical fact, are forward- looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates
and projections about our industry and business, management's 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
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual
results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any
forward-looking statement.
Important factors that may cause such a difference for Broadcom in
connection with Broadcom products include, but are not limited to, general
economic and political conditions and specific conditions in the markets we
address, including the volatility in the technology sector and semiconductor
industry, trends in the broadband communications markets in various geographic
regions, including seasonality in sales of consumer products into which our
products are incorporated, and possible disruption in commercial activities
related to terrorist activity or armed conflict in the United States and other
locations; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer
orders and our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage
inventory; the gain or loss of a key customer, design win or order; the rate
at which our present and future customers and end-users adopt Broadcom's
technologies and products in our target markets; our ability to scale our
operations in response to changes in demand for our existing products and
services or demand for new products requested by our customers; 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; our dependence on a few significant customers for a substantial
portion of our revenue; intellectual property disputes and customer
indemnification claims and other types of litigation risk; risks and
uncertainties resulting from Broadcom's recent equity award review, including
potential claims and proceedings related to such matters, such as shareholder
litigation and any action by the SEC, U.S. Attorney's Office or other
governmental agency that could result in civil or criminal sanctions against
the company and/or certain of our current or former officers, directors or
employees, or other actions taken or required as a result of the review; our
ability to retain, recruit and hire key executives, technical personnel and
other employees in the positions and numbers, with the experience and
capabilities, and at the compensation levels needed to implement our business
and product plans; the quality of our products and any potential remediation
costs; the availability and pricing of third party semiconductor foundry,
assembly and test capacity and raw materials; the risks of producing products
with new suppliers and at new fabrication and assembly and test facilities;
problems or delays that we may face in shifting our products to smaller
geometry process technologies and in achieving higher levels of design
integration; our ability to timely and accurately predict market requirements
and evolving industry standards and to identify opportunities in new markets;
delays in the adoption and acceptance of industry standards in our target
markets; changes in our product or customer mix; the volume of our product
sales and pricing concessions on volume sales; the effectiveness of our
expense and product cost control and reduction efforts; 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 timing of customer-industry qualification and
certification of our products and the risks of non-qualification or non-
certification; fluctuations in the manufacturing yields of our third party
semiconductor foundries and other problems or delays in the fabrication,
assembly, testing or delivery of our products; the risks and uncertainties
associated with our international operations, particularly in light of
terrorist activity, armed conflict or political unrest; the effects of natural
disasters, public health emergencies, international conflicts and other events
beyond our control; and the level of orders received that can be shipped in a
fiscal quarter; and other factors.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and
other Securities and Exchange Commission filings discuss the foregoing risks
as well as other important risk factors that could contribute to such
differences or otherwise affect our business, results of operations and
