What are Non-GAAP financial measures and why does Qualcomm present them?

Qualcomm presents them because management believes they provide a more useful view of the company's ongoing operational performance and financial condition, supplementing the standard GAAP reporting.

Should I rely solely on the Non-GAAP financial measures?

No, investors should consider the Non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The press release includes reconciliations to help understand the differences.
