Pro forma net income for 2000 was a record $271.4 million, an increase of 172% over the $99.8 million for 1999. Pro forma diluted earnings per share were $1.04, based on 261.4 million weighted average shares outstanding, versus $.42 per share on 235.7 million weighted average shares in 1999. Including the charges excluded in pro forma reporting, net loss for the year 2000 was $693.4 million, or $3.15 per share.

Additionally, two other key acquisitions announced during the third quarter -- NewPort Communications, Inc. (optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber.  products) and Silicon Spice Inc. (carrier access products) -- closed in the fourth quarter. All of these acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

Earlier this month, Broadcom announced and closed its acquisition of ServerWorks Corporation, a leading supplier of high performance System I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device.

"During the year, Broadcom reached the $1 billion revenue level, a significant milestone that made us the fastest growing U.S. semiconductor company to date, a testament to both the company's ability to execute well in multiple broadband markets and the tremendous growth of those markets."

During the fourth quarter, Motorola's Broadband Communications Sector entered into two-year purchase and development agreements that guarantee Broadcom a share of Motorola's set-top box The cable TV box that sits on "top" of the TV "set," although it is often located several feet away in an equipment rack.

In another strategic alliance, Broadcom and Gateway Computer announced a partnership designed to make it easy for consumers to connect to the Internet and to every digital device in their home or home office at broadband speed using existing telephone lines. As part of that endeavor and Gateway's Connected Home initiative, Gateway began shipping its consumer PCs with Broadcom's Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (communications, networking, protocol, standard) Home Phoneline Networking Alliance - (HomePNA) A non-profit association of more than 100 technology companies working together to ensure adoption of a phone line networking standard which should provide high-speed, affordable home  (HomePNA) 2.0 chipsets as standard equipment.

This agreement also provided for the use of 3Com's brand, the most widely recognized one in desktop Ethernet connectivity, as part of an alliance 3Com/Broadcom brand to drive Gigabit technology to the enterprise desktop.

In extending its leadership in the Gigabit Ethernet market, Broadcom has shipped 1.5 million Gigabit Ethernet ports to date and remains the only company shipping in significant volumes.

In other alliances, Broadcom and Check Point Software Technologies, Ltd., unveiled plans to jointly develop and deliver the next generation of high performance multi-gigabit security products, and Broadcom and Net2Phone, Inc. announced collaboration on VoIP products allowing cable operators to offer customers economical voice IP services over broadband connections See broadband and wireless broadband. .
