approximately 118 million units, up 27 percent y-o-y and flat
sequentially.
- December quarter total reported device sales: approximately $40.0
billion, up 44 percent y-o-y and 18 percent sequentially.
-- December quarter estimated CDMA-based device shipments:
approximately 195 to 200 million units, at an estimated average
selling price of approximately $200 to $206 per unit.
Cash and Marketable Securities
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $22.1 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $19.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and $18.2 billion a year ago. On April 7, 2011, we announced a cash dividend of $0.215 per share payable on June 24, 2011 to stockholders of record as of May 27, 2011.
On January 5, 2011, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement under which we intend to acquire Atheros Communications, Inc. for $45 per share in cash, which represented an enterprise value of approximately $3.1 billion on that date. The transaction has received the approval of Atheros' stockholders and certain foreign regulators, and the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, has expired. The completion of the merger remains subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of an additional foreign regulatory approval. We continue to expect the merger to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Non-GAAP R&D expenses increased 16 percent y-o-y primarily due to an increase in costs related to the development of integrated circuit products, next-generation CDMA and OFDMA technologies and other initiatives to support the acceleration of advanced wireless products and services. QSI R&D expenses decreased 87 percent y-o-y primarily due to the shut down of our FLO TV business and network.

Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 42 percent y-o-y primarily due to an increase in charitable donations, employee-related costs and professional fees. QSI SG&A expenses increased 18 percent y-o-y primarily due to increased costs related to the shut down of our FLO TV business and network.
Effective Income Tax Rate
Our fiscal 2011 effective income tax rates are estimated to be approximately 17 percent for GAAP and approximately 21 percent for Non-GAAP. The second quarter rates of 21 percent for GAAP and 22 percent for Non-GAAP are higher than the estimated annual rates primarily due to additional U.S. income resulting from the settlement of ongoing disputes with two licensees during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives
The QSI segment manages our strategic investment activities, including FLO TV, and makes strategic investments in early-stage and other companies and in wireless spectrum, such as the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum won in the India auction. GAAP results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included an $0.18 loss per share for the QSI segment. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 QSI results included $376 million in operating expenses and restructuring charges primarily related to FLO TV.
We have agreed to sell substantially all of our 700 MHz spectrum for $1.9 billion, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. The agreement follows our previously announced plan to restructure and evaluate strategic options related to the FLO TV business and network. Under the restructuring plan, the FLO TV business and network were shut down on March 27, 2011, and we are no longer pursuing the MediaFLO Technologies business. Restructuring activities under this plan were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012. The spectrum was classified as held for sale at March 27, 2011.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, restructuring and restructuring-related charges related to this plan included in QSI results were $310 million. We estimate that we will incur future restructuring and restructuring-related charges associated with this plan of up to $65 million, which are primarily related to lease exit and other costs.
Business Outlook
The following statements are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. The "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this news release provides a description of certain risks that we face, and our annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provide a more complete description of risks.
Our outlook does not include provisions for future asset impairments or the consequences of injunctions, damages or fines related to any pending legal matters unless awarded or imposed by a court, governmental entity or other regulatory body. Further, due to their nature, certain income and expense items, such as realized investment gains or losses, or gains and losses on certain derivative instruments, cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, we only include such items in our business outlook to the extent they are reasonably certain; however, actual results may vary materially from the business outlook.
In addition to our ongoing operating costs, our business outlook for fiscal 2011 includes restructuring and restructuring-related charges attributable to FLO TV that are currently expected to be incurred.
We have not included any estimates related to the Atheros business in our third fiscal quarter or fiscal 2011 outlook. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
The following table summarizes GAAP and Non-GAAP guidance based on the current business outlook. The Non-GAAP business outlook presented below is consistent with the presentation of Non-GAAP results included elsewhere herein.

(1) Total reported device sales is the sum of all reported sales in
U.S. dollars (as reported to us by our licensees) of all licensed
CDMA-based subscriber devices (including handsets, modules, modem
cards and other subscriber devices) by our licensees during a
particular period. The reported quarterly estimated ranges of
ASPs and unit shipments are determined based on the information as
reported to us by our licensees during the relevant period and our
own estimates of the selling prices and unit shipments for
licensees that do not provide such information. Not all licensees
report sales, selling prices and/or unit shipments the same way
(e.g., some licensees report selling prices net of permitted
deductions, such as transportation, insurance and packing costs,
while other licensees report selling prices and then identify the
amount of permitted deductions in their reports), and the way in
which licensees report such information may change from time to
time. Total reported device sales, estimated unit shipments and
estimated ASPs for a particular period may include prior period
activity that is reported with the activity for the particular
period.
(2) Sums may not equal totals due to rounding.

(1) Non-GAAP reconciling items related to revenues consist
primarily of other nonreportable segment revenues less
intersegment eliminations. Non-GAAP reconciling items related
to earnings before taxes consist primarily of certain
investment income or losses, interest expense, research and
development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and other
operating expenses that are not allocated to the segments for
management reporting purposes, nonreportable segment results
and the elimination of intersegment profit.
(2) During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a tax
benefit of $32 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share,
related to fiscal 2010 due to the retroactive reenactment of
the federal R&D tax credit. Also, during each of the first and
second quarters of fiscal 2011, we recorded $3 million in state
tax expense because deferred revenue related to the license
agreement signed in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 with
Samsung is taxable in fiscal 2011 but the resulting deferred
tax asset will reverse in future years when our state tax rate
will be lower. Our first and second quarter fiscal 2011 Non-
GAAP results exclude these items.
(3) At fiscal year-end, the sum of the quarterly tax provisions for
each column, including QSI, equals the annual tax provisions
for each column computed in accordance with GAAP. In interim
quarters, the tax provision for the QSI operating segment is
computed by subtracting the Non-GAAP tax provision, the tax
items column and the tax provision related to share-based
compensation from the GAAP tax provision.

The Company presents Non-GAAP financial information that is used by management (i) to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company's operating results on a consistent and comparable basis; (ii) to measure the performance and efficiency of the Company's ongoing core operating businesses, including the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, Qualcomm Technology Licensing and Qualcomm Wireless & Internet segments; and (iii) to compare the performance and efficiency of these segments against each other and against competitors outside the Company. Non-GAAP measurements of the following financial data are used by the Company's management: revenues, R&D expenses, SG&A expenses, total operating expenses, operating income (loss), net investment income (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, effective tax rate, net income (loss), diluted earnings (loss) per share, operating cash flow and free cash flow. Management is able to assess what it believes is a more meaningful and comparable set of financial performance measures for the Company and its business segments by using Non-GAAP information. As a result, management compensation decisions and the review of executive compensation by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors focus primarily on Non-GAAP financial measures applicable to the Company and its business segments.
Non-GAAP information used by management excludes the QSI segment, certain share-based compensation, certain tax items and acquired in-process R&D. The QSI segment is excluded because the Company expects to exit its strategic investments at various times, and the effects of fluctuations in the value of such investments are viewed by management as unrelated to the Company's operational performance. Share-based compensation, other than amounts related to share-based awards granted under a bonus program that may result in the issuance of unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock, is excluded because management views such share-based compensation as unrelated to the Company's operational performance. Further, share-based compensation related to stock options is affected by factors that are subject to change, including the Company's stock price, stock market volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend payouts in future years. Certain tax items that were recorded in reported earnings in each fiscal year presented, but were unrelated to the fiscal year in which they were recorded, are excluded in order to provide a clearer understanding of the Company's ongoing Non-GAAP tax rate and after tax earnings. In fiscal 2009, the Company included the benefit of the retroactive extension of the federal R&D tax credit in Non-GAAP results because it had previously occurred with relative frequency and was included in the Company's business outlook for fiscal 2009 as the credit had been extended prior to the release of the fiscal 2009 business outlook. In fiscal 2011, however, the Company did not include the benefit of the retroactive extension of the federal R&D tax credit in Non-GAAP results because the Company had not included the potential extension of the credit in its previously released fiscal 2011 business outlook due to uncertainty as to whether and when the federal R&D tax credit would be retroactively extended. Acquired in-process R&D is excluded because such expense is viewed by management as unrelated to the operating activities of the Company's ongoing core businesses.
The Company presents free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, to facilitate an understanding of the amount of cash flow generated that is available to grow its business and to create long-term stockholder value. The Company believes that this presentation is useful in evaluating its operating performance and financial strength. In addition, management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's performance, to value the Company and to compare its operating performance with other companies in the industry.
The Non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, "Non-GAAP" is not a term defined by GAAP, and, as a result, the Company's measure of Non-GAAP results might be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations between GAAP results and Non-GAAP results are presented in the following tables.

of $32 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share, related to
fiscal 2010 due to the retroactive reenactment of the federal R&D
tax credit. Also, during each of the first and second quarters of
fiscal 2011, we recorded $3 million in state tax expense because
deferred revenue related to the license agreement signed in the
first quarter of fiscal 2010 with Samsung is taxable in fiscal
2011 but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future
years when our state tax rate will be lower. Our Non-GAAP
results excluded these items.
(b) At fiscal year-end, the sum of the quarterly tax provisions for
each column, including QSI, equals the annual tax provisions for
each column computed in accordance with GAAP. In interim
quarters, the tax provision for the QSI operating segment is
computed by subtracting the Non-GAAP tax provision, the tax
items column and the tax provision related to share-based
compensation from the GAAP tax provision.
