This represents a 57% year-over-year increase, driven by growth in both equipment and services, and licensing and royalty fees.

How did QUALCOMM's profitability change compared to the previous year?

Profitability improved substantially. Net income for the quarter was $241.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, a significant rise from $139.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Operating income more than doubled to $446.7 million.

What is the company's liquidity position?

QUALCOMM maintained a strong liquidity position. As of December 29, 2002, the company held $1.62 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.835 billion in marketable securities, totaling over $3.45 billion in readily available funds.

Are there any significant accounting changes mentioned in this report?

Yes, QUALCOMM adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (FAS 141) and No. 142 (FAS 142) effective at the beginning of fiscal 2003. These standards prohibit the amortization of goodwill. Consequently, goodwill is no longer amortized but will be tested annually for impairment. This change impacted prior period expense recognition.
