Item 2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On June 13, 2019, Broadcom Inc. (“Broadcom” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended May 5, 2019. The Company will host an investor conference call on June 13, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss these results.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the press release dated June 13, 2019, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

New Director Appointment

Effective June 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Justine F. Page as an independent director of the Company.

Ms. Page served as the Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Finance, Treasurer, and Secretary of Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc., from May 1999 to September 2005 when ICS merged with Integrated Device Technologies, Inc., following which Ms. Page retired. She joined ICS in 1993, holding titles including Director of Finance and Administration and Assistant Treasurer. From June 2008 until April 2017, Ms. Page served on the board of our predecessors, including Avago Technologies and Broadcom Limited, and served as chairperson of its Audit Committee and a member of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Ms. Page also served as a director and chairperson of the audit committee of SunEdison Semiconductor Limited from May 2014 until December 2016, and served as a director of Techwell, Inc. from January 2006 until July 2010, where she also served as the chairperson of the audit committee. Ms. Page holds a B.A. degree in accounting from Immaculata College and a Master of Taxation degree from Villanova University. Ms. Page’s qualifications to serve on our Board include her career in senior financial management positions with, and on the board of directors of, semiconductor companies, and her education and training as an accounting professional.

Ms. Page will participate in the non-employee director compensation arrangements generally applicable to all of the Company’s non-employee directors. Under the terms of those arrangements, as currently in effect, Ms. Page received an initial restricted stock unit award with a value of $183,333 on June 11, 2019, her first date of service as a director, which will vest in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date and (ii) the date on which the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders immediately following the grant date is held, subject to her continuing service on the vesting date. The number of shares subject to this award was determined by dividing the value of the award by the average of the Company’s per share closing market prices, as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, over the 30 calendar days immediately preceding June 11, 2019. In addition, Ms. Page will be entitled to receive the annual cash and equity compensation payable to other non-employee directors of the Company. Details regarding the Company’s non-employee director compensation program are set forth in the Company’s Proxy Statement related to its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2019.

Committee Changes

Effective June 11, 2019, the Board appointed Ms. Page as the Chairman of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Executive Committee. In connection with Ms. Page’s appointment to the Audit Committee, Peter Marks stepped down from the Audit Committee and the Board appointed Mr. Marks as a member of the Compensation Committee.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On June 13, 2019, the Company announced that the Board has declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $2.65 per share. The dividend is payable on July 2, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business (5:00 p.m.), Eastern Time, on June 24, 2019.

Updating fiscal year 2019 guidance, including revenue outlook of $22.5  billion; $17.5  billion from semiconductor solutions and $5  billion from infrastructure software

SAN JOSE, Calif. – June 13, 2019 - Broadcom Inc. (Nasdaq: AVGO ), a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2019, ended May 5, 2019, announced a quarterly dividend and updated guidance for its fiscal year 2019.

“We executed according to plan in the second quarter with tailwinds from networking offsetting the anticipated headwinds from wireless.” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc. “We currently see a broad-based slowdown in the demand environment, which we believe is driven by continued geopolitical uncertainties, as well as the effects of export restrictions on one of our largest customers. As a result, our customers are actively reducing their inventory levels, and we are taking a conservative stance for the rest of the year. We remain well-positioned across our various semiconductor and software businesses and are confident this portfolio of franchises will continue to drive sustained long-term revenue growth and increasing free cash flow.”

“We achieved record free cash flow of $2.5 billion growing 20% year over year in the second quarter.” said Tom Krause, CFO of Broadcom Inc. “Despite the challenging market backdrop and updated revenue outlook, we still expect to grow free cash flow by a double-digit percentage for the year. In addition, we remain focused on completing a total of $8 billion of share repurchases and eliminations in fiscal 2019.”

Fiscal Year 2019 Business Outlook

Based on current business trends and conditions, the outlook for continuing operations for fiscal year 2019, ending November 3, 2019, including contributions from CA, is expected to be as follows:

 

     GAAP     Reconciling Items     Non-GAAP  

Net revenue

   $ 22,500M       —       $ 22,500M  

Operating margin

     14.75   $ 8,470M       52.50

Net interest expense and other

   $ 1,300M       —       $ 1,300M  

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes

     -9     20     11

 

   

Non-GAAP operating margin excludes $5,210 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $2.2 billion of stock-based compensation expense, $820 million of restructuring charges, and $240 million of acquisition-related costs; and

 

   

Non-GAAP tax provision is 20% higher than GAAP due to the tax effects of the projected reconciling items noted above.

Capital expenditures for the fiscal year are expected to be approximately $500 million. For the fiscal year, depreciation is expected to be approximately $600 million and total intangible amortization is expected to be approximately $5,235 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 for CA, Inc., all of which may be revised during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the CA acquisition). The guidance excludes the impact of any future mergers, acquisitions, divestiture and stock repurchase activity that may occur during fiscal year 2019. 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.

Quarterly Dividend

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $2.65 per share.

The dividend is payable on July 2, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business (5:00 p.m.) Eastern Time on June 24, 2019.

Financial Results Conference Call

Broadcom Inc. will host a conference call to review its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, ended May 5, 2019, and discuss guidance for fiscal year 2019, today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Those wishing to access the call should dial (866) 310-8712; International +1 (720) 634-2946. The passcode is 3044229. A replay of the call will be accessible for one week after the call. To access the replay dial (855) 859-2056; International +1 (404) 537-3406; and reference the passcode: 3044229. A webcast of the conference call will also be available in the “Investors” section of Broadcom’s website at www.broadcom.com.

Basis of Presentation

Broadcom Inc. is the successor to Broadcom Limited for financial reporting purposes effective as of the close of trading on April 4, 2018. Information provided for fiscal periods beginning with the fiscal quarter ended May 6, 2018, relates to Broadcom Inc. and for prior fiscal periods relates to Broadcom Limited. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this press release to “Broadcom,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and similar terms are to Broadcom Inc. and, prior to that time, are to our predecessor, Broadcom Limited.

The Company’s financial results include contributions from CA, Inc.’s continuing operations starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. 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.

Due to the Company’s 52/53 week reporting cycle, fiscal year 2018 included an extra week in the first quarter, compared to fiscal year 2019.

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 includes the effect, where applicable, of purchase accounting on revenue, and 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, impairment on investment, debt-related costs, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, gains on investments, 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.

 

5


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.

In connection with the redomiciliation to the United States on April 4, 2018, or the Redomiciliation, all outstanding exchangeable limited partnership units, or LP Units, in Broadcom Cayman L.P. were exchanged for common stock of Broadcom on a one-for-one basis and the noncontrolling interest, or NCI, was eliminated. Net income attributable to NCI prior to the Redomiciliation represents approximately 5% of net income attributable to LP Units.

(2)

There were no LP Units outstanding during the fiscal quarters ended May 5, 2019, February 3, 2019, or two fiscal quarters ended May 5, 2019 due to the Redomiciliation. The diluted income per share calculations include approximately 14 million and 18 million LP Units for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended May 6, 2018, respectively.
