Broadcom reports revenue of $11.9B, demand for data center networks

 Broadcom reported revenue of $11,961 million for its first quarter, ended February 4, 2024, up 34 percent from the prior year period and up 11% from the prior year period when excluding the contribution of VMware.  GAAP net income was $1,325 million for the first quarter and GAAP diluted EPS was $2.84. Non-GAAP net income was $5,254 million for the first quarter and Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $10.99.

"We are pleased to have two strong drivers of revenue growth for Broadcom in the first quarter and fiscal year 2024. First, our acquisition of VMware is accelerating revenue growth in our infrastructure software segment, as customers deploy VMware Cloud Foundation. Second, strong demand for our networking products in AI data centers, as well as custom AI accelerators from hyperscalers, are driving growth in our semiconductor segment," said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc. "We reiterate our fiscal year 2024 guidance for consolidated revenue of $50 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $30 billion."

"Consolidated revenue grew 34% year-over-year to $12.0 billion, including the contribution from VMware, and was up 11% year-over-year, excluding VMware. Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% year-over-year to $7.2 billion," said Kirsten Spears, CFO of Broadcom Inc. "Free cash flow, excluding restructuring in the quarter, continued to be strong at $5.4 billion. We have started to pay down debt, beginning with $3 billion to date in 2024, and expect to continue to pay down debt in fiscal year 2024."
