    與此同時,我們仍然專注於解決我們與 Apple 和監管方面的糾紛。

  • Before I turn the call over to George to cover our results in more detail, I want to provide an update on some important legal milestones and our ongoing efforts to defend the value of our intellectual property and drive shareholder value.

    在我把電話轉給喬治更詳細地介紹我們的結果之前,我想提供一些重要的法律里程碑的最新情況,以及我們為捍衛知識產權價值和推動股東價值所做的持續努力。

  • As most of you know, we are one of the main architects of the wireless ecosystem and our leading investments in R&D have positioned the company at the forefront of 2G, 3G/4G and now, 5G leadership.

    正如你們大多數人所知,我們是無線生態系統的主要架構師之一,我們在研發方面的領先投資使公司處於 2G、3G/4G 和現在的 5G 領先地位。

  • We have one of the largest patent portfolios in the industry with more than 130,000 patents and pending patent applications worldwide.

    我們擁有業內最大的專利組合之一,在全球擁有超過 130,000 項專利和正在申請的專利。

  • And it is critical that we protect our IP and ensure that we are appropriately compensated for our inventions and investments.

    保護我們的知識產權並確保我們的發明和投資得到適當的補償是至關重要的。

  • Through these various legal cases, we are working to ensure this happens.

    通過這些不同的法律案件,我們正在努力確保這一點發生。

  • Courts in China and Germany have found Apple to be infringing our patents consistent with our prior messaging for the potential of multiple patent infringement rulings before the end of 2018.

    中國和德國的法院裁定 Apple 侵犯了我們的專利,這與我們之前就可能在 2018 年底之前做出多項專利侵權裁決的消息一致。

  • We are pursuing enforcement of the injunctions awarded by these courts and believe the decisions will be upheld on appeal.

    我們正在執行這些法院頒發的禁令,並相信這些決定將在上訴中得到維持。

  • These favorable rulings demonstrate Apple's infringement across a broad range of our patented technologies that are unrelated to modem chips but are widely used in smartphones.

    這些有利的裁決表明 Apple 侵犯了我們廣泛的與調製解調器芯片無關但廣泛用於智能手機的專利技術。

  • We expect additional favorable patent infringement decisions in the coming months in the United States, China and Germany as more of our cases go to trial.

    隨著我們的更多案件進入審判階段,我們預計未來幾個月美國、中國和德國將做出更多有利的專利侵權判決。

  • In addition to our patent litigation, there are more legal milestones ahead, including the trial involving Apple and its contract manufacturers starting in San Diego in April.

    除了我們的專利訴訟之外,還有更多的法律里程碑,包括 4 月份在聖地亞哥開始的涉及 Apple 及其合同製造商的審判。

  • Yesterday, we concluded our arguments in the case with the FTC in the Northern District of California.

    昨天,我們結束了與加利福尼亞州北區聯邦貿易委員會的案件辯論。

  • As stated before, we believe that the FTC's case is based on a flawed antitrust theory and that it failed to meet its burden of proof for its claims.

    如前所述,我們認為 FTC 的案件基於有缺陷的反壟斷理論,未能履行其索賠的舉證責任。

  • You can access a transcript of our closing arguments and the related slide presentation on our website at qualcomm.com/news.

    您可以在我們的網站 qualcomm.com/news 上訪問我們的結案陳詞和相關幻燈片演示文稿的副本。

  • Over the course of the trial, we made a strong showing that our licensing practices are consistent with industry norms, have not harmed competition, and in fact, the industry is thriving.

    在審判過程中,我們有力地表明我們的許可做法符合行業規範,沒有損害競爭,事實上,該行業正在蓬勃發展。

  • We have earned or maintained our leadership in the mobile wireless industry with superior foresight, investment and execution, driving superior technology solutions compared with our competitors.

    與我們的競爭對手相比,我們憑藉卓越的遠見、投資和執行力贏得或保持了我們在移動無線行業的領先地位,推動了卓越的技術解決方案。

  • And we have never interrupted commercial shipments of modem chips to any customer in order to obtain unfair licensing rates.

    我們從未中斷過向任何客戶提供調製解調器芯片的商業運輸,以獲得不公平的許可費率。

  • Moreover, the evidence presented at trial proved that our agreements with Apple, which expired over 2 years ago, were run-of-the-mill incentive agreements that were actually demanded by Apple in order to win its business.

    此外,庭審中出示的證據證明,我們與 Apple 簽訂的兩年多前到期的協議是普通的激勵協議,是 Apple 為贏得業務而實際要求的。

  • The trial reinforced the important role we play in the mobile industry.

    該試驗強化了我們在移動行業中發揮的重要作用。

  • This is especially critical now as we enter the early innings of 5G, the first mobile generation that is truly shaping industrial policy.

    當我們進入 5G 的早期階段時,這一點尤其重要,這是真正影響產業政策的第一代移動設備。

  • In summary, we are hopeful that the law and fact-based analysis will prevail in our FTC proceedings.

    總之,我們希望法律和基於事實的分析將在我們的 FTC 程序中佔上風。

  • In parallel, we continue to look for an opportunity to reach a negotiated settlement with the FTC.

    與此同時,我們繼續尋找機會與 FTC 達成協商解決方案。

  • Let me now spend some time providing you an update on how we are driving the transition to 5G.

    現在讓我花一些時間向您介紹我們如何推動向 5G 過渡的最新情況。

  • We are extremely pleased with the growing 5G momentum around the world.

    我們對全球不斷增長的 5G 勢頭感到非常高興。

  • In December, we hosted our annual Snapdragon Tech Summit, and were joined by leading 5G ecosystem partners, infrastructure vendors as well as device manufacturers.

    12 月,我們舉辦了年度 Snapdragon 技術峰會,領先的 5G 生態系統合作夥伴、基礎設施供應商和設備製造商都參加了此次峰會。

  • This level of representation from the mobile ecosystem is a testament to our broad industry commitment to 5G, our solutions and our leadership position.

    這種來自移動生態系統的代表證明了我們對 5G、我們的解決方案和我們的領導地位的廣泛行業承諾。

  • At this summit, we announced our new Snapdragon 855 mobile platform, the world's first commercial platform supporting multi-gigabit 5G and demonstrated end-to-end 5G consumer experiences with real demos over live millimeter wave 5G networks and devices.

    在本次峰會上,我們發布了全新的驍龍 855 移動平台,這是全球首個支持數千兆位 5G 的商用平台,並通過實時毫米波 5G 網絡和設備的真實演示展示了端到端的 5G 消費者體驗。

  • At CES, we announced 30 plus commercial 5G mobile design wins based on our 5G chipsets.

    在 CES 上,我們宣布了 30 多項基於我們的 5G 芯片組的商用 5G 移動設計。

  • The majority of these designs are smartphones from global OEMs featuring the Snapdragon 855 mobile platform and the Snapdragon X50 5G modem family, which are expected to launch in the first half of 2019.

    這些設計大部分是來自全球 OEM 的智能手機,採用驍龍 855 移動平台和驍龍 X50 5G 調製解調器系列,預計將於 2019 年上半年推出。

  • Notably, nearly all of the devices related to these 5G design wins use our RF front end solutions, and we expect these design wins to have a meaningful positive impact to our RF front end product line.

    值得注意的是,幾乎所有與這些 5G 設計中標相關的設備都使用我們的 RF 前端解決方案,我們預計這些設計中標將對我們的 RF 前端產品線產生有意義的積極影響。

  • Consistent with the past 3G and 4G transitions, as 5G launches in 2019 across multiple geographies, we expect the carriers to play an active role in driving the transition to 5G devices.

    與過去的 3G 和 4G 過渡一致,隨著 5G 於 2019 年在多個地區推出,我們預計運營商將在推動向 5G 設備過渡方面發揮積極作用。

  • I would like to now turn the call over to George.

    我現在想把電話轉給喬治。

  • George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

    George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

  • Thank you, Steve, and good afternoon, everyone.

    謝謝史蒂夫,大家下午好。

  • We are pleased to report solid results in our fiscal first quarter.

    我們很高興地報告第一財季的穩健業績。

  • Our revenues were $4.8 billion in the first quarter, in line with our prior guidance and non-GAAP EPS of $1.20 was $0.05 above the high end of our guidance range.

    我們第一季度的收入為 48 億美元,符合我們之前的指導,非 GAAP 每股收益 1.20 美元,比我們指導範圍的上限高出 0.05 美元。

  • Importantly, our Q1 results include a new interim agreement with Huawei, which contributed $150 million of revenue in the quarter.

    重要的是,我們第一季度的業績包括與華為達成的一項新的臨時協議,該協議在本季度貢獻了 1.5 億美元的收入。

  • As discussed last quarter, our Q1 guidance had not included any contribution from Huawei because the final payment under the previous interim agreement was recognized in retained earnings pursuant to our adoption of ASC 606 in Q1.

    正如上個季度所討論的那樣,我們的第一季度指引沒有包括華為的任何貢獻,因為根據我們在第一季度採用的 ASC 606,根據之前的臨時協議的最終付款被確認為留存收益。

  • QCT delivered revenues of $3.7 billion and an EBT margin of 16% for the quarter, above our prior guidance range of 13% to 15%.

    QCT 在本季度實現了 37 億美元的收入和 16% 的 EBT 利潤率,高於我們之前 13% 至 15% 的指導範圍。

  • The operating margin reflects improvements in gross margins and lower operating expenses, driven by our continued focus on driving operating efficiencies.

    在我們持續關注提高運營效率的推動下,營業利潤率反映了毛利率的提高和運營費用的降低。

  • MSM chip shipments of 186 million units came in modestly above the midpoint of our guidance range.

    MSM 芯片出貨量為 1.86 億片,略高於我們指導範圍的中點。

  • QTL generated revenues of $1 billion in the quarter, including $150 million from the successful negotiation of the Huawei interim agreement.

    QTL 在本季度創造了 10 億美元的收入,其中 1.5 億美元來自與華為臨時協議的成功談判。

  • This new agreement was signed in our first fiscal quarter and runs through the third fiscal quarter of 2019.

    這份新協議於我們的第一個財政季度簽署,並貫穿 2019 年第三財政季度。

  • Under the agreement, we will receive $150 million for each of those 3 quarters.

    根據協議,我們將為這 3 個季度中的每個季度獲得 1.5 億美元。

  • Relative to our previous expectations, which had excluded any revenue from the interim agreement, licensing revenues were lower by $150 million to $200 million in the quarter.

    相對於我們之前的預期(已排除臨時協議的任何收入),本季度的許可收入減少了 1.5 億美元至 2 億美元。

  • Given the headwinds facing the market broadly, we have reduced our global 3G/4G device forecast for the calendar year '18 to the low end of our previous guidance range consistent with lower royalty units in the December quarter.

    鑑於市場普遍面臨的不利因素,我們已將 18 日曆年的全球 3G/4G 設備預測下調至我們先前指導範圍的低端,這與 12 月季度較低的特許權使用費單位一致。

  • Emerging regions in China were responsible for the largest shortfall in units relative to expectations, although the lower levels of demand appear to be fairly widespread.

    中國的新興地區是銷量低於預期的最大缺口,儘管較低水平的需求似乎相當普遍。

  • The weaker global unit market accounted for the majority of the revenue impact in the quarter along with some mix effects.

    疲軟的全球單位市場佔本季度收入影響的大部分以及一些混合效應。

  • Against this backdrop, we continue to demonstrate disciplined execution on our cost-reduction plan.

    在此背景下,我們繼續嚴格執行我們的成本削減計劃。

  • Non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expenses were $1.56 billion, down 15% sequentially and well below the low end of the guidance range.

    非 GAAP 合併研發和 SG&A 費用為 15.6 億美元,環比下降 15%,遠低於指導範圍的低端。

  • Maintaining our focus on OpEx efficiency remains a top priority, and we are on track to deliver against our $1 billion cost-reduction plan excluding excess litigation.

    保持對運營支出效率的關注仍然是重中之重,我們有望實現 10 億美元的成本削減計劃,不包括過多的訴訟。

  • Expenses in the first quarter also benefited from lower-than-expected litigation spend due to timing and the effects of a weaker stock market on revaluation of deferred compensation obligation.

    第一季度的支出還受益於低於預期的訴訟支出,原因是時間安排以及股市疲軟對遞延補償義務重估的影響。

  • As a reminder, there is a corresponding offset on the deferred compensation liabilities in our investment income so there is no net EPS benefit.

    提醒一下,我們的投資收益中的遞延補償負債有相應的抵消,因此沒有淨每股收益收益。

  • Our non-GAAP tax rate for the quarter was a benefit of 40%.

    我們本季度的非 GAAP 稅率為 40%。

  • This is in line with the benefit we included in our guidance for the quarter.

    這與我們在本季度的指導中包含的收益一致。

  • To date, we have executed on $22.2 billion in share repurchases of the $30 billion authorization we announced last July.

    迄今為止,我們已經執行了我們去年 7 月宣布的 300 億美元授權的 222 億美元股票回購。

  • This includes $5.1 billion through a Dutch auction and $16 billion under our ongoing ASR programs executed in the fall of last year.

    這包括通過荷蘭式拍賣獲得的 51 億美元和我們在去年秋季執行的正在進行的 ASR 計劃下的 160 億美元。

  • As of today, January 30, the ASRs are approaching 40% completion and the average repurchase price to date is approximately $61.

    截至今天,即 1 月 30 日,ASR 已接近完成 40%,迄今為止的平均回購價格約為 61 美元。

  • As a reminder, the ASR settled at the average trading price less a discount over the life of the agreements.

    提醒一下,ASR 在協議有效期內以平均交易價格減去折扣結算。

  • The ASR agreements are scheduled to end in early September 2019.

    ASR 協議計劃於 2019 年 9 月上旬結束。

  • Let's now turn to our financial outlook for the second fiscal quarter of 2019.

    現在讓我們來看看我們對 2019 年第二財季的財務展望。

  • We estimate fiscal second quarter revenues to be in the range of $4.4 billion to $5.2 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share to be approximately $0.65 to $0.75.

    我們估計第二財季收入在 44 億美元至 52 億美元之間,非 GAAP 每股收益約為 0.65 美元至 0.75 美元。

  • We expect QTL revenues to be in the range of $1 billion to $1.1 billion, including the $150 million under the interim agreement.

    我們預計 QTL 的收入將在 10 億至 11 億美元之間,包括臨時協議項下的 1.5 億美元。

  • We expect the market factors that we saw in Q1 to persist with continued softness in the handset market and weaker overall mix of devices.

    我們預計我們在第一季度看到的市場因素會隨著手機市場的持續疲軟和整體設備組合的疲軟而持續下去。

  • We expect fiscal second quarter QTL EBT margin to be approximately 54% to 58%.

    我們預計第二財季 QTL EBT 利潤率約為 54% 至 58%。

  • In QCT, we estimate approximately $150 million to $170 million MSM chip shipments for the fiscal second quarter, down sequentially as a result of typical volume seasonality; market weakness, particularly in the low and mid-tiers; timing of OEM product launches and overall competitive dynamics.

    在 QCT,我們估計第二財季的 MSM 芯片出貨量約為 1.5 億美元至 1.7 億美元,由於典型的銷量季節性而連續下降;市場疲軟,尤其是中低端市場; OEM 產品發布的時機和整體競爭動態。

  • Lower MSM units at mid and low-tiers is offset by favorable product mix due to seasonality and broader adoption of our newly launched Snapdragon 800 chipset.

    由於季節性和我們新推出的 Snapdragon 800 芯片組的廣泛採用,中低端較低的 MSM 單位被有利的產品組合所抵消。

  • We expect this mix shift to drive significantly higher revenue per MSM in the fiscal second quarter.

    我們預計這種組合轉變將在第二財季推動每個 MSM 的收入顯著增加。

  • We expect QCT EBT margins to be between 13% and 15%.

    我們預計 QCT EBT 利潤率將在 13% 至 15% 之間。

  • We anticipate the fiscal second quarter non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expenses to increase by 6% to 8% sequentially due to higher litigation spend and the impact of the calendar reset of normal employee tax costs.

    由於訴訟支出增加以及正常員工稅收成本日曆重置的影響,我們預計第二財季非 GAAP 合併研發和 SG&A 費用將連續增長 6% 至 8%。

  • Non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A sequential growth is also being impacted by the expected absence of the revaluation adjustment for our deferred compensation liabilities, which benefited OpEx in Q1.

    非 GAAP 聯合研發和 SG&A 連續增長也受到預期沒有對我們的遞延補償負債進行重估調整的影響,這有利於第一季度的運營支出。

  • We remain on track to deliver $1 billion in cost savings from our $7.4 billion baseline.

    我們仍然有望在 74 億美元的基準基礎上節省 10 億美元的成本。

  • At present, we have achieved approximately $850 million of savings toward our $1 billion target.

    目前,我們已經實現了 10 億美元的目標,節省了大約 8.5 億美元。

  • However, due to excess litigation, we are tracking somewhat above the $6.4 billion run rate.

    但是,由於過多的訴訟,我們跟踪的運行率略高於 64 億美元。

  • Nevertheless, we are on track to deliver the $1 billion in operating savings and expect additional savings post licensing resolution as litigation costs come down.

    儘管如此,我們有望實現 10 億美元的運營節省,並預計隨著訴訟成本的下降,在許可解決方案後還會節省更多費用。

  • Non-GAAP interest expense, net of investment and other income in the fiscal second quarter is expected to be approximately $100 million, which is in line with our prior guidance and is a reasonable estimate for each of the remaining quarters in fiscal 2019.

    第二財季的非美國通用會計準則利息支出(扣除投資和其他收入)預計約為 1 億美元,這符合我們之前的指引,並且是對 2019 財年剩餘每個季度的合理估計。

  • Turning to fiscal 2019.

    轉向 2019 財年。

  • We expect our non-GAAP annual effective tax rate in fiscal 2019 to be approximately 0% and reflects both the run rate impacts of tax reform and the fiscal first quarter impacts of our tax restructuring.

    我們預計 2019 財年的非 GAAP 年度有效稅率約為 0%,反映了稅制改革對運行率的影響和我們稅收重組對第一財季的影響。

  • Excluding the first quarter benefit, we estimate a non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 12% for the rest of fiscal '19.

    不包括第一季度的收益,我們估計 19 財年剩餘時間的非 GAAP 稅率約為 12%。

  • We now expect calendar year 2018 3G/4G device estimates to be at the low end of our prior guidance range.

    我們現在預計 2018 日曆年的 3G/4G 設備估計將處於我們先前指導範圍的低端。

  • For calendar year 2019, we were revising the device forecast to be in the range of 1.85 billion to 1.95 billion units, which at the midpoint is a reduction of 50 million units from our prior forecast.

    對於 2019 日曆年,我們將設備預測修改為 18.5 億至 19.5 億台,中點比我們之前的預測減少了 5000 萬台。

  • This reduction is entirely attributable to handset market softness.

    這種減少完全歸因於手機市場疲軟。

  • We expect handset shipments to be up 1% year-over-year with non-handset devices driving overall unit growth up 5% at the midpoint of guidance.

    我們預計手機出貨量將同比增長 1%,非手機設備將推動整體出貨量增長 5%(達到指引中值)。

  • Despite this, we anticipate improving conditions for our chip business in the second half of the year as a result of new product launches, including devices with 5G chipsets and growth in our adjacent businesses.

    儘管如此,我們預計,由於新產品的推出,包括配備 5G 芯片組的設備以及我們相鄰業務的增長,下半年我們的芯片業務狀況將有所改善。

  • Just with regard to the MSM business and the guidance you provided.

    關於 MSM 業務和您提供的指導。

  • Looked like that had been running down about 20% year-on-year in December.

    看起來 12 月份同比下降了約 20%。

  • I think your guidance reflects down 15% in March.

    我認為你的指導反映了 3 月份下降了 15%。

  • Recognizing that, that includes a rather large design loss, what would you characterize the continuing business, what would that be running on a year-on-year basis is perhaps a better indicator of the underlying business?

    認識到這一點,其中包括相當大的設計損失,您認為持續業務的特徵是什麼,同比運行的是什麼可能是基礎業務的更好指標?

  • Hey, Chris, the -- you're correct in citing that the real difference year-over-year in Q1 was driven by the thin modem business share change at Apple.

    嘿,克里斯,你說得對,第一季度的真正同比變化是由蘋果薄調製解調器業務份額的變化推動的。

  • We're actually seeing strong positioning in our products, really everywhere else.

    我們實際上在我們的產品中看到了強大的定位,真的在其他任何地方。

  • And if we're seeing any weakness in the guide, it's really in low tier units, which is partially seasonal and also just, I think, a reflection of the economy in China.

    如果我們在指南中看到任何弱點,那實際上是在低端單位,這部分是季節性的,我認為這也只是中國經濟的反映。

    正如 George 所說,我們在低端設備上看到了這一點,但我們繼續看到對功能更高的智能手機有利的產品組合。

  • And we expect that trend to continue, especially important as we look at the launch of 5G technology in the -- in towards the later part of '19 and 2020.

    您能否向我們介紹一下我們應該如何考慮每個 MSM 趨勢的收入?

  • Clearly, a stronger mix implied in your guidance.

    顯然,您的指導中暗示了更強的組合。

  • But can you talk maybe about the RF attach rate and what this could do to the calculation of revenue per MSM or maybe just talk about the RF opportunity and how much your RF business could grow as 5G takes off over the next couple of years?

    但是你能談談 RF 附加率以及這對計算每個 MSM 的收入有什麼影響,或者只是談談 RF 機會以及隨著 5G 在未來幾年的騰飛,你的 RF 業務可以增長多少?

  • Maybe I'll cover off on the revenue per MSM.

    也許我會掩蓋每個 MSM 的收入。

  • What we're seeing is, even with the softness in the marketplace, our premium tier devices continue to be strong and growing both year-over-year and quarterly, which is really a testament to the new products.

    我們所看到的是,即使市場疲軟,我們的高端設備仍然保持強勁勢頭,並且同比和季度都在增長,這確實證明了新產品。

  • We're also seeing continued strength in the high and mid-tier overall.

    我們還看到整體中高端市場的持續走強。

  • So revenue per MSM in what is normally a seasonally challenging second quarter is going to be quite healthy as you -- your back of the envelope calculation is correct.

    因此,在通常具有季節性挑戰性的第二季度,每個男男性接觸者的收入將像您一樣非常健康——您的粗略計算是正確的。

  • It should be a very strong revenue per MSM quarter for us.

    對我們來說,每個 MSM 季度的收入應該是非常強勁的。

  • We see right now, our RF front-end business, excluding the impacts of Apple, outside Apple, continue to see growth, continue to see double-digit growth rates in that business as we head into 2019.

    我們現在看到,我們的 RF 前端業務,不包括 Apple 的影響,在 Apple 之外,繼續看到增長,隨著我們進入 2019 年,該業務繼續保持兩位數的增長率。

  • But most important, this trend of moving towards higher end devices, especially with the transition of 5G as was one data point that we liked, for the absolute majority of the 5G designs we have on the recently announced 855 or the X50 modem, we have RF front-end attached, and we're very pleased with that metric.

    但最重要的是,這種向更高端設備發展的趨勢,尤其是隨著我們喜歡的一個數據點 5G 的過渡,對於我們最近發布的 855 或 X50 調製解調器上的絕大多數 5G 設計,我們有連接了 RF 前端,我們對該指標非常滿意。

  • I think there was some mention about macro and a challenging end market.

    我認為有人提到了宏觀和具有挑戰性的終端市場。

  • I would love your perspective on the market.

    我喜歡你對市場的看法。

  • And also, George, I think you mentioned for the QCT, the MSM sequential down, competitive dynamics is one part of that.

    而且,喬治,我想你提到過 QCT,MSM 連續下降,競爭動態是其中的一部分。

  • So should we take that to read more low-end competition or potential share loss in China?

    那麼我們是否應該以此來解讀中國更多的低端競爭或潛在的份額損失?

  • And then on the flip side, if we just get an update on the QTL business in China.

    另一方面,如果我們只是了解中國 QTL 業務的最新情況。

  • Obviously, the Huawei deal is pending.

    顯然,華為的交易懸而未決。

    但是你能否談談合規性以及許可交易與中國 OEM 的其余長尾如何進行。

  • George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

    George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • So just to answer your question on the competitive dynamics, we continue to see pressure at some of the lower tier devices.

    因此,為了回答您關於競爭動態的問題,我們繼續看到一些低端設備的壓力。

  • And so, which we see down in Q2.

    因此,我們在第二季度看到了這一點。

  • Some of it is, we believe, based on share loss and some is based on just on the size of the market, which we typically see pull back seasonally on that.

    我們認為,其中一些是基於份額損失,而另一些只是基於市場規模,我們通常會看到市場規模因市場規模而出現季節性回落。

  • I would say China overall has been probably the -- while it's been extremely good for Qualcomm overall, if we look at '18 compared to our expectations going into '18, demand in China has been substantially lower than we would have estimated global -- for total demand in China, not to speak to our share in this case, which has led us -- is one of the factors that led us to put the estimates for calendar year '18 units down to the low end of our guidance range from last quarter.

    我想說中國總體上可能是——雖然這對高通總體來說非常好,但如果我們看看 18 年與我們進入 18 年的預期相比,中國的需求遠低於我們對全球的估計——對於中國的總需求,更不用說我們在這種情況下的份額,這導致我們 - 是導致我們將 18 日曆年單位的估計值降至我們指導範圍的低端的因素之一上個季度。

  • I'll let -- were you going to jump in, Cristiano?

  • So Tim, on the chip business, I think, there's, as George outlined, there's competitive dynamics on the low end.

    所以蒂姆,在芯片業務上,我認為,正如喬治所概述的那樣,低端存在競爭動態。

  • But the biggest factor, really, seasonality of product launches.

    但實際上,最大的因素是產品發布的季節性。

  • So many of our customers probably have product launches in the coming quarter and it's just a typical seasonality we've seen.

    我們的許多客戶可能會在下個季度推出產品,這只是我們所看到的典型季節性。

  • Overall, China has been a good story for us.

    總的來說,中國對我們來說是一個好故事。

  • And again, the most important thing is the move towards the higher end devices.

    同樣,最重要的是向更高端設備的轉變。

    在 QTL 方面,與中國的故事也很好。

  • Under our new 5G SEP licensing program, we now have over 35 new licensees or licensees signed up to the new agreements and amendments.

    根據我們新的 5G SEP 許可計劃,我們現在有超過 35 個新的被許可人或被許可人簽署了新協議和修正案。

  • And a good significant number of those are Chinese OEMs.

    其中很大一部分是中國原始設備製造商。

  • Stacy Aaron Rasgon - Senior Analyst

    Stacy Aaron Rasgon - Senior Analyst

  • I wanted to ask about the revisions to your market outlook.

    我想問一下你們對市場前景的修正。

  • So you're taking your global units down, I guess, to the low end of your range of 2 points versus where you were.

    所以我猜你正在把你的全球單位降到你 2 點範圍的低端。

  • But your QTL revenues right now, excluding the Huawei settlement, are running $900 million, give or take.

    但你現在的 QTL 收入,不包括與華為的和解,是 9 億美元,或多或少。

  • So that's more than 10% lower than your prior outlook, which was like $1 billion to $1.1 billion.

    所以這比你之前的預期低 10% 以上,大約是 10 億到 11 億美元。

  • So how do I reconcile that, I guess, with your comments on where you're seeing on the weakness in the market, which sound to me more like a lull and it seems to imply that the ASPs would have to be down a lot given the revenue bookings seems to be down more than the unit revision?

    那麼,我想,我該如何調和你對市場疲軟的評論,這對我來說更像是平靜,這似乎意味著 ASP 必須下降很多收入預訂似乎比單位修訂下降得更多?

  • I guess, how do I think about the trends of units in ASPs playing out and what effect that's having on your QTL revenues right now?

    我想,我如何看待 ASP 的單位趨勢正在發揮作用,以及這對您現在的 QTL 收入有什麼影響?

  • George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

    George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

  • Yes, really, what you're seeing, Stacy, is the adjustment that comes from the change in reported units, which is consistent with what we're seeing in our -- in the numbers that we're now using to revise our guide.

    是的,真的,Stacy,你看到的是來自報告單位變化的調整,這與我們在我們現在用來修改指南的數字中看到的是一致的.

  • I would also say in -- you get some of the dynamics in our outlook that relate to how much in a given quarter is reflected by OEMs that are not paying on their licenses and reporting and those that are.

    我還要說的是——你會在我們的展望中看到一些動態,這些動態與給定季度中有多少反映在未支付許可證和報告費用的原始設備製造商和那些已支付的原始設備製造商有關。

  • And so one of the things that you'll see is we're actually, while we're seeing market conditions overall worsen in Q2, when you adjust for the Huawei payment, we're seeing modest improvement in the underlying revenue for QTL.

    因此,您會看到的一件事是,當我們看到第二季度市場狀況整體惡化時,當您針對華為付款進行調整時,我們看到 QTL 的基礎收入略有改善。

  • And that really reflects the fact of the mix of the parties in there.

    這確實反映了各方混合的事實。

  • Stacy Aaron Rasgon - Senior Analyst

    Stacy Aaron Rasgon - Senior Analyst

  • Are you seeing improvement?

    你看到改善了嗎?

  • I mean, last -- in Q2 of last year, ex the Huawei payment, you did like $965 million and you're guiding ex the Huawei payment this time, $900 million.

    我的意思是,去年第二季度,除了華為支付,你做了 9.65 億美元,而這次你指導華為支付,9 億美元。

  • It's still down pretty decently, isn't it?

    它仍然下降得相當不錯,不是嗎?

  • George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

    George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

  • You're talking about Q2, in terms of an apples-to-apples comparison factor?

  • Yes, yes.

    是的是的。

  • George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

    George S. Davis - CFO & Executive VP

  • Yes, I think again, I would say the market, if I did an apples-to-apples comparison, I would say the market is down basically modestly compared to that quarter.

    是的,我再想一遍,我會說市場,如果我做一個蘋果對蘋果的比較,我會說市場與那個季度相比基本上是溫和下跌的。

  • Remember, we had that very low demand quarter out of China that we talked about.

    請記住,我們談到的中國以外的那個需求非常低的季度。

  • And I think that's the biggest factor.

    我認為這是最大的因素。

  • But it's -- we do see it down somewhat, but not as much as you might have expected because of dynamics in the -- which was effectively Q3 last year.

    首先,只是為了繼續回答 Stacy 的問題。

  • I guess, a lot of the data that we're seeing, just globally, not related to your QTL revenues, but just globally out of the smartphone market, has been great.

    我想,我們在全球範圍內看到的很多數據都與您的 QTL 收入無關,但在全球範圍內不在智能手機市場,這些數據都很好。

  • And I guess, Cristiano talked about launches in the second quarter potentially that will help that.

    我想,克里斯蒂亞諾談到了第二季度的發布可能會有所幫助。

  • But an up 5% unit growth for the whole industry seems a bit aggressive, and maybe that embeds growth in auto and some other areas.

    但整個行業 5% 的單位增長率似乎有點激進,也許這嵌入了汽車和其他一些領域的增長。

  • So maybe you could talk a little bit about what you're seeing in the market that leads you to think the smartphone market's going to grow this year.

    所以也許你可以談談你在市場上看到的讓你認為今年智能手機市場將會增長的情況。

  • And then secondly, George, any additional thoughts.

    需要明確的是,5% 的增長也包括非手機,這就是你獲得增長的地方,實際同比增長。

  • We've said 1% growth in handsets over '18, and '18 was down 1% over '17.

    我們說過 18 年手機增長 1%,18 年比 17 年下降 1%。

  • We're still seeing in our forecast, we see continued softness.

    我們仍在我們的預測中看到,我們看到持續疲軟。

  • We expect the developed handset demand to be down.

    我們預計發達的手機需求將會下降。

  • We think that's replacement rates, as people start to think about 5G devices coming into the marketplace.

    我們認為這是更換率,因為人們開始考慮 5G 設備進入市場。

  • And then you're not seeing as big an impact in '19 from China as you saw in '18, but you're also not seeing quite the growth in some of the other emerging markets in time, including India.

    然後你在 19 年沒有看到中國在 18 年看到的那麼大的影響,但你也沒有及時看到其他一些新興市場的增長,包括印度。

  • So we see more modest growth out of the emerging markets in '19.

    因此,我們看到 19 年新興市場的增長更為溫和。

  • But overall, handsets puts you at about flat to 1%.

    但總的來說,手機使您的比例持平至 1%。

  • They often seem to get lost in the discussion.

  • You probably know that, actually a majority of those 130,000 or so patents that Steve -- and applications that Steve referred to earlier are in fact NEPs.

    您可能知道,事實上,史蒂夫在這 130,000 項左右的專利中,大部分實際上是 NEP。

  • Also, all the lawsuits we brought around the world against Apple involved NEPs, nonessential patents.

    此外,我們在全球範圍內針對蘋果提起的所有訴訟都涉及 NEP,即非必要專利。

  • And as Steve has indicated, we've been very successful so far and we've got a number of cases that are going to be rolling out over the course of this year.

    正如史蒂夫所指出的那樣,到目前為止,我們一直非常成功,並且我們有許多案例將在今年推出。

  • Almost every month, there's a significant milestone in terms of either hearings or final rulings, Germany and China and in the U.S. and the ITC and district courts here.

    幾乎每個月,無論是聽證會還是最終裁決,德國、中國、美國以及美國國際貿易委員會和這裡的地方法院都有一個重要的里程碑。

  • So the value of our overall portfolio is extraordinarily high and it's certainly something we constantly think about when we look at our licensing program.

    因此,我們整體產品組合的價值非常高,這肯定是我們在查看許可計劃時不斷考慮的事情。

  • And one point that I think people often miss is that we started this licensing program, what, almost 3 decades ago, and there were no standard essential patents in our portfolio at the time because we weren't even in the standard, yet we were licensing that portfolio.

    我認為人們經常忽略的一點是,我們啟動了這個許可計劃,大約 3 年前,當時我們的產品組合中沒有標準必要專利,因為我們甚至不在標準中,但我們是許可該組合。

  • We continued to license that portfolio essentially at the same terms, as our patent portfolio grew with standard essential patents and nonstandard essential patents, into the numbers that Steve was talking about.

    隨著我們的專利組合隨著標準必要專利和非標準必要專利的增加而增長到史蒂夫所說的數字,我們繼續以基本相同的條款許可該組合。

    但是,儘管我們繼續與大量僅 SEP 被許可人簽約,但我們仍然有很多,非常多的被許可人選擇保留整個投資組合協議。

  • And so, that's a very significant mix in the overall licensing program.

    因此,這是整個許可計劃中非常重要的組合。

  • So I think that the overall program is heading in the right direction.

    所以我認為整個計劃正朝著正確的方向前進。

  • We've got a few issues to deal with, in terms of the Apple litigation.

    在 Apple 訴訟方面,我們有一些問題需要處理。

  • But right now, I think the focus is on successfully establishing the 5G program, which we have done over the course of the last 12 months.

    但現在,我認為重點是成功建立 5G 計劃,這是我們在過去 12 個月中完成的。

  • I want to return to the QCT side for kind of a 2-part question.

    我想回到 QCT 方面來回答一個由兩部分組成的問題。

  • First, last quarter, when you guided, you cited not only the obvious issue sequentially with Apple, but also China inventory burns.

    首先,上個季度,當你指導時,你不僅提到了蘋果公司的明顯問題,還提到了中國的庫存消耗。

  • So I wanted to see what the update was on that.

    所以我想看看更新是什麼。

  • Is the weakness you're pointing to in MSMs in 1Q just demand or is there inventory burn?

    您指出的第一季度 MSM 的弱點只是需求還是存在庫存消耗?

  • And if so, how much longer would that last?

    如果是這樣,那會持續多久?

  • And then the revenue per MSM side of the equation.

    然後是等式的每個 MSM 邊的收入。

  • Obviously, a big pop up in your fiscal 2Q guide.

    顯然,您的財政 2Q 指南中有一個很大的彈出窗口。

  • How should we think about that continuing through the rest of the year?

    我們應該如何考慮在今年餘下的時間裡繼續這樣做?

  • Does the 5G side obviously come in as a tailwind?

    5G 方面是否明顯順風順水?

  • And then, how does China, in answer to the first part of that question, potentially weigh against that?

    然後,在回答該問題的第一部分時,中國如何可能權衡這一點?

    同樣,我認為我們肯定已經看到在中國繼續銷售先於銷售。

  • So inventory continues to come down, whether it reflects the new normal yet, we'll have to see.

    因此庫存繼續下降,是否反映了新常態,我們將拭目以待。

  • But that certainly was part of it.

    但這當然是其中的一部分。

  • But again, the overwhelming year-over-year effect was just the -- related to the one customer.

    但同樣,壓倒性的同比效應只是——與一個客戶有關。

  • I think on revenue per MSM, as we start to see 5G pick up and additional premium tier devices increase, that's definitely going to be a tailwind for revenue per MSM.

    我認為,就每個 MSM 的收入而言,隨著我們開始看到 5G 的興起和更多高端設備的增加,這肯定會成為每個 MSM 收入的順風。

  • We haven't forecasted it out yet.

    我們還沒有預測出來。

  • But we think that'll certainly be a tailwind for us, both not only at the end of this year, but as we go, as we ramp 5G in 2021.

    但我們認為這對我們來說肯定是一個順風,不僅是在今年年底,而且隨著我們在 2021 年推出 5G。

    我可能會添加另一件事,那就是,不要——如果你看看網絡將如何運行以及你需要處理的頻段數量,從現在到真正,會有許多不同的模式變化,接下來的 24 個月。

  • So -- and I think if you're not involved in that at the beginning, you're going to have a very difficult time, I think, fielding a solution that is competitive at any given time if you show up too late.

    所以 - 我認為如果你一開始沒有參與其中,我認為你將度過一段非常困難的時期,如果你出現得太晚,那麼在任何給定時間都可以提供具有競爭力的解決方案。

  • That's one of the advantages of being early and one of the reasons why we try to make sure that we're there.

    這是早到的優勢之一,也是我們努力確保到達那裡的原因之一。

  • The other aspect, I think, that we should also acknowledge is that I think there was a lot of concern early on with 5G is, would the handsets be at the right size or will they be at the size that people would find attractive, particularly given all the RF complication that exists.

    另一方面,我認為,我們還應該承認的是,我認為 5G 早期有很多擔憂,手機的尺寸是否合適,或者它們的尺寸是否會吸引人們,特別是考慮到存在的所有 RF 並發症。

  • The channels, the sales people will be incentivized to press 5G.
