PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Broadcom Inc. (Nasdaq: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2024, ended August 4, 2024, provided guidance for its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and announced its quarterly dividend.
“Broadcom’s third quarter results reflect continued strength in our AI semiconductor solutions and VMware. We expect revenue from AI to be $12 billion for fiscal year 2024 driven by Ethernet networking and custom accelerators for AI data centers,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc. “The transformation of VMware continues to progress very well. The integration of VMware is driving adjusted EBITDA margin to 64% of revenue as we exit fiscal year 2024.”
“Consolidated revenue grew 47% year-over-year to $13.1 billion, including the contribution from VMware, and was up 4% year-over-year, excluding VMware. Adjusted EBITDA increased 42% year-over-year to $8.2 billion,” said Kirsten Spears, CFO of Broadcom Inc. “Free cash flow, excluding restructuring and integration in the quarter, was $5.3 billion, up 14% year-over-year.”
(1) GAAP net loss of $1,875 million for the third quarter included a one-time discrete non-cash tax provision of $4.5 billion from the impact of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights to the United States as a result of supply chain realignment.
(2) 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 $9,952 million, compared to $9,809 million at the end of the prior quarter.
During the third fiscal quarter, the Company generated $4,963 million in cash from operations and spent $172 million on capital expenditures. The Company paid $1,350 million of withholding taxes related to net settled equity awards that vested in the quarter (resulting in the elimination of 8.4 million shares).

On July 12, 2024, the Company completed a ten-for-one forward stock split. All share and per-share amounts presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
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.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Business Outlook
Based on current business trends and conditions, the outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, ending November 3, 2024, is expected to be as follows:
Fourth quarter revenue guidance of approximately $14.0 billion; andFourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA guidance of approximately 64 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.

(1) Non-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments included a one-time discrete non-cash tax provision of $4.5 billion from the impact of an intra-group transfer
of certain IP rights to the United States as a result of supply chain realignment for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2024.
(2) Non-GAAP adjustment for the number of shares used in the diluted per share calculations excludes the impact of stock-based
compensation expense expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would otherwise be
assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method. For the fiscal quarter ended August 4, 2024, non-GAAP
adjustment included the dilutive effect of the equity awards that were antidilutive on a GAAP basis.

By automating these time-consuming tasks, recruiters can focus on what they do best—building meaningful interactions with candidates and hiring managers, rather than being bogged down by administrative work.

With the announcement of the Agentforce Partner Network, businesses have access to more than 20 agents and agent actions, leveraging partners’ purpose-built technology and domain expertise. Partner-built agents enable faster deployment of pre-built solutions, reducing both development time and costs, while extending the value of the tools businesses already rely on.

Intelligent Candidate Identification: Powered by Agentforce and Salesforce Data Cloud, Asymbl Recruiter Agent leverages results from partner applications for traditional resume matching and goes further by analyzing interactional data from an extensive range of data points and past interactions with candidates and hiring managers to rapidly identify the best-fit candidates.
Effortless Job Description Creation: Quickly generate, refine, and share job descriptions based on existing data and hiring manager preferences, saving valuable time that would otherwise be spent drafting descriptions manually.
Autonomous Interview Scheduling: Schedule interviews with candidates seamlessly with real-time availability, minimizing the usual back-and-forth involved in coordinating schedules.
Comprehensive Interview Feedback Summaries: Generate detailed summaries from the interviewer’s feedback in seconds, enabling recruiters to make faster and more informed hiring decisions.
With these capabilities, Asymbl Recruiter Agent’s agent actions accelerate the entire recruiter workflow, making it more efficient and effective for staffing firms and corporate recruiters looking to optimize their workflows and achieve faster placements.
“I’ve been part of the Salesforce ecosystem for 20 years and have worked in the talent management, staffing, and recruitment industries for just about as long. I’ve never experienced a more exciting moment for growth, innovation, and immediate impact,” said Brandon Metcalf, CEO and Founder of Asymbl, Inc. “The energy around AI today, coupled with the groundbreaking advancements and impact we’re achieving through our collaboration with Salesforce, is driving immediate and transformative change in staffing and recruiting. With Agentforce, we are moving into the third wave of AI where intelligent agents are not just a concept—they are here, and they are reshaping how we work and succeed.”
