Broadcom Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

We closed the NetLogic Microsystems transaction to expand our footprint in network infrastructure, extended our lead in 5G WiFi by beginning commercial shipments, and rounded out our PON portfolio with the acquisition of BroadLight to enable complete solutions for the fastest growing segment in broadband access.

This represents an increase of 0.4% compared with the $1.820 billion reported for the fourth quarter of 2011 and an increase of 0.6% compared with the $1.816 billion reported for the first quarter of 2011.
