In connection with this agreement, Broadcom recorded a $65.3 million gain on settlement and $67.3 million of licensing revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2009.


"Despite the continued global economic uncertainty, Broadcom's results for the second quarter reflected a return to a more stable ordering pattern and the ramp of new products from our end customers," said Scott A. McGregor, Broadcom's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the second quarter, Broadcom generated strong sequential revenue growth, with product revenue near the top end of the range provided in April. We are pleased that research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses once again increased less than anticipated from the first quarter of 2009, reflecting our continued focus on maintaining solid financial discipline. In addition, we generated strong cash flow in excess of $325 million from operations."http://www.broadcom.com
