Forward Guidance

The midpoint of our third quarter fiscal 2023 guidance includes the continued impact of the macroeconomic headwinds, weaker global handset units, and channel inventory drawdown. In addition, we estimate a larger-than-normal sequential decline in QCT revenues, primarily due to the timing of purchases by a modem-only handset customer.
