1 |
In this press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures for operating income (loss) and net income (loss) to reflect its financial results without charges for the ATI impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, ATI other acquisition-related charges, and severance charges for operating income (loss) and in addition, without the tax benefit from ATI acquisition-related charges, investment impairment charges and debt-related net charges for net income (loss). Management believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare current and historical period operating results. |
2 |
As a result of the acquisition of ATI, 2006 financial results only include the results of the former ATI operations from October 25 through December 31, 2006. Therefore, financial results for the fourth quarter 2007 and fiscal 2007 do not correlate directly to those for the fourth quarter 2006 and fiscal 2006, respectively. |

We were close to break-even operationally for the quarter, reducing our fourth quarter non-GAAP operating loss to $9 million1. We improved gross margin by three points sequentially, driven by increased shipments of new products, higher average selling prices and cost containment actions, said Robert J. Rivet, AMDs Chief Financial Officer. We shipped a record number of microprocessor units in the quarter, including nearly four hundred thousand quad-core processors.
Fourth quarter 2007 gross margin was 44 percent, compared to 41 percent in the third quarter of 2007 and 36 percent in the fourth quarter of 20062.
Computing Solutions
Fourth quarter Computing Solutions segment revenue was $1.402 billion, a 9 percent sequential increase. Server, mobile and desktop processor revenue each increased quarter-over-quarter, driving an 11 percent sequential increase in microprocessor revenue. Record desktop and mobile processor unit shipments drove a 7 percent sequential increase in overall microprocessor unit shipments, resulting in record microprocessor unit shipments. Server processor unit shipments increased 22 percent sequentially, driven by a significant increase in quad-core AMD Opteron processor shipments.
Graphics
Graphics segment revenue was $259 million, a three percent sequential increase. The growth was due to demand for AMDs new ATI Radeon HD 3800 series and continued adoption of the ATI Radeon HD 2000 series of graphics processors.
Consumer Electronics
Fourth quarter Consumer Electronics segment revenue was $109 million, a 12 percent increase compared with $97 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase was driven largely by increased game console royalties and sales of products for the handheld market.
Current Outlook
AMDs outlook statements are based on current expectations. The following statements are forward looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under Cautionary Statement below.
In the seasonally down first quarter, AMD expects revenue to decrease in line with seasonality.

* | The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, in-process research and development, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, interest expense and taxes. The Company calculated and communicated Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is of interest to investors and lenders in relation to its overall capital structure and its ability to borrow additional funds. The Companys calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP operating measure of net income or U.S. GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. |
