Broadcom Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results and Quarterly Dividends

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcom Inc. (Nasdaq: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 1, 2020, provided guidance for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2021 and announced its quarterly dividends.

"We concluded the year with strong fourth quarter results driven by continued demand for networking from cloud and for broadband from service providers as well as the significant ramp in wireless, even as enterprise demand remained soft. Our infrastructure software segment continued to be stable and delivered solid results," said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc. "Our first quarter revenue outlook, which projects continued overall strength, is expected to show 13 percent year over year growth, all organic."

"Despite the challenges presented by the ongoing pandemic and macroeconomic uncertainties, we achieved record profitability, generating $11.6 billion of free cash flow in fiscal 2020," said Tom Krause, CFO of Broadcom Inc. "As a result, we are raising our target common stock dividend by 11 percent to $3.60 per share per quarter for fiscal year 2021."

First Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Business Outlook

Based on current business trends and conditions, the outlook for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, ending January 31, 2021, is expected to be as follows:

    --  First quarter revenue guidance of approximately $6.6 billion; and
    --  First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $3.9 billion, or 59
        percent of projected revenue.

The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release. The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income without unreasonable effort. 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.

Broadcom Inc. will be presenting to investors at the J.P. Morgan Tech Forum on January 12, 2021.

Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial results include contributions from the Symantec enterprise security business's continuing operations starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The financial results from businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements are not included in the results presented above, unless otherwise stated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP reporting, Broadcom provides investors with net revenue, net income, operating income, gross margin, operating expenses, cash flow and other data on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring, impairment and disposal charges, acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, purchase accounting effect on inventory, litigation settlements, loss on debt extinguishment, gain from lapse of indemnification, gains (losses) on investments, gain from sale of business, income (loss) from discontinued operations and non-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments. Management does not believe that these items are reflective of the Company's underlying performance. Internally, these non-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 exclusion of these and other similar items from Broadcom's non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

Free cash flow measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Investors should not consider presentation of free cash flow measures as implying that stockholders have any right to such cash. Broadcom's free cash flow may not be calculated in a manner comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.

Broadcom believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going performance. Therefore, Broadcom provides this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. These non-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 and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release.

               (1) Non-GAAP adjustment for the
                number of shares used in the
                diluted per share calculations
                excludes the impact of stock-
                based compensation expense
                expected to be incurred in future
                periods and not yet recognized in
                the financial statements, which

                used to repurchase shares under
                the GAAP treasury stock method.
                For the periods presented, the
                non-GAAP adjustment included the
                impact of Mandatory Convertible
                Preferred Stock that was
                antidilutive on a GAAP basis. For
                the fiscal quarter ending January
                31, 2021, the non-GAAP adjustment
                includes the impact of Mandatory
                Convertible Preferred Stock that
                is expected to be antidilutive on
                a GAAP basis.
