(Nasdaq: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 3, 2024, provided guidance for its first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and announced its quarterly dividend. “Broadcom’s fiscal year 2024 revenue grew 44% year-over-year to a record $51.6 billion, as infrastructure software revenue grew to $21.5 billion, on the successful integration of VMware,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc. “Semiconductor revenue was a record $30.1 billion driven by AI revenue of $12.2 billion. AI revenue which grew 220 percent year-on-year was driven by our leading AI XPUs and Ethernet networking portfolio.” “In fiscal year 2024 adjusted EBITDA increased 37% year-over-year to a record $31.9 billion, and free cash flow excluding restructuring was strong at $21.9 billion,” said Kirsten Spears, CFO of Broadcom Inc. “Based on increased cash flows in fiscal year 2024, we are increasing our quarterly common stock dividend by 11% to $0.59 per share for fiscal year 2025. The target fiscal year 2025 annual common stock dividend of $2.36 per share is a record, and the fourteenth consecutive increase in annual dividends since we initiated dividends in fiscal 2011.” ________________________________ (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. 1 Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Highlights GAAP Non-GAAP (Dollars in millions, except per share data) Q4 24 Q4 23 Change Q4 24 Q4 23 Change Net revenue $ 14,054  $ 9,295  +51 % $ 14,054  $ 9,295  +51 % Net income $ 4,324  $ 3,524  +$800 $ 6,965  $ 4,810  +$2,155 Earnings per common share - diluted * $ 0.90  $ 0.83  +$0.07 $ 1.42  $ 1.11  +$0.31 (Dollars in millions) Q4 24 Q4 23 Change Cash flow from operations $ 5,604  $ 4,828  +$776 Adjusted EBITDA $ 9,089  $ 6,048  +$3,041 Free cash flow $ 5,482  $ 4,723  +$759 Net revenue by segment (Dollars in millions) Q4 24 Q4 23 Change Semiconductor solutions $ 8,230  59 % $ 7,326  79 % +12 % Infrastructure software 5,824  41 1,969  21 +196 % Total net revenue $ 14,054  100 % $ 9,295  100 % * On July 12, 2024, the Company completed a ten-for-one forward stock split.

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. About Broadcom Broadcom Inc.

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. BROADCOM INC.
