PALO ALTO, Calif. – March 6, 2025 – Broadcom Inc.

“Consolidated revenue grew 25% year-over-year to a record $14.9 billion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 41% year-over-year to a record $10.1 billion,” said Kirsten Spears, CFO of Broadcom Inc. “Free cash flow was $6.0 billion, up 28% year-over-year.”

(1) The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of the projected non-GAAP financial information presented to the relevant projected GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal quarter were $9,307 million, compared to $9,348 million at the end of the prior fiscal quarter.

During the first fiscal quarter, the Company generated $6,113 million in cash from operations and spent $100 million on capital expenditures. The Company paid $2,036 million of withholding taxes related to net settled equity awards that vested in the quarter (resulting in the elimination of 8.7 million shares).

On December 31, 2024, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.59 per share, totaling $2,774 million.

The differences between the Company’s GAAP and non-GAAP results are described generally under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and presented in detail in the financial reconciliation tables attached to this release.

Based on current business trends and conditions, the outlook for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, ending May 4, 2025, is expected to be as follows:

•Second quarter revenue guidance of approximately $14.9 billion; and

•Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA guidance of approximately 66 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.

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.59 per share. The dividend is payable on March 31, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on March 20, 2025.

Broadcom Inc. will host a conference call to review its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and to discuss the business outlook today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

The non-GAAP measures should not be considered 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. Broadcom believes 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.

In addition to GAAP reporting, Broadcom provides investors with 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 and other charges, acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, non-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments, and other 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.
