AMD Reports Second Quarter Results

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

AMD (NYSE:AMD) today reported second quarter 2008 revenue from continuing operations of $1.349 billion, a seven percent decrease compared to the first quarter of 2008 and a three percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2007. As part of its previously communicated review of its non-core businesses, AMD decided to divest its Handheld and DTV product businesses, and therefore is classifying them as discontinued operations(1) for financial reporting.

In the second quarter of 2008, AMD reported a net loss of $1.189 billion, or $1.96 per share. For continuing operations, the second quarter loss was $269 million, or $0.44 per share, and the operating loss was $143 million. The results for continuing operations include a net favorable impact of $97 million, or $0.16 per share as described in the table below. Loss from discontinued operations was $920 million, or $1.52 a share, including asset impairment charges of $876 million, or $1.44 a share.

In the first quarter of 2008 AMD had revenue from continuing operations of $1.456 billion, a net loss of $358 million, a loss from continuing operations of $308 million and an operating loss of $214 million. In the second quarter of 2007 AMD had revenue from continuing operations of $1.309 billion, a net loss of $600 million, a loss from continuing operations of $531 million and an operating loss of $396 million.

"While we had a disappointing quarter financially, customer adoption of our recently introduced microprocessor and graphics products and platform offerings is strong, and we see increasing momentum across our businesses," said Robert J. Rivet, AMD's chief financial officer. "In the face of challenging macroeconomic conditions, we remain committed to achieving operating profitability in the second half of the year based on the continued ramp of new products, increased market penetration of our differentiated solutions, and continued actions designed to reduce our breakeven point."

Second quarter 2008 gross margin was 52 percent. Excluding the positive impact associated with the sale of 200mm manufacturing equipment, second quarter 2008 gross margin was 37 percent, compared to 41 percent in the first quarter of 2008 and 34 percent in the second quarter of 2007.

Footnotes in reference to tables above:

(1) All prior periods have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations.

(2) In this press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures for net loss, operating loss and gross margin to reflect the exclusion of a gain on sale of 200mm equipment and certain charges as reflected in the tables. For net loss, the loss from discontinued operations was also excluded. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare current and historical period operating results.

Cautionary Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements concerning revenue for the third quarter of 2008, operating profitability for the second half of 2008, restructuring programs, and the intended divestiture of AMD's Handheld and DTV product businesses, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as "would," "may," "expects," "believes," "plans," "intends," "projects," and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this release are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this release and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Risks include the possibility that Intel Corporation's pricing, marketing and rebating programs, product bundling, standard setting, new product introductions or other activities targeting the company's business will prevent attainment of the company's current plans; the company will require additional funding and may not be able to raise funds on favorable terms or at all; global business and economic conditions will worsen, resulting in lower than currently expected revenue in the third quarter of 2008 and beyond; the company's cost containment efforts will not be effective; customers stop buying the company's products or materially reduce their demand for its products; the company will be unable to develop, launch and ramp new products and technologies in the volumes and mix required by the market and at mature yields on a timely basis; demand for computers and consumer electronics products and, in turn, demand for the company's products will be lower than currently expected; there will be unexpected variations in market growth and demand for the company's products and technologies in light of the product mix that it may have available at any particular time or a decline in demand; the company will be unable to transition to advanced manufacturing process technologies in a timely and effective way, consistent with planned capital expenditures; the company will be unable to maintain the level of investment in research and development and capacity that is required to remain competitive; the company will be unable to divest its Handheld or DTV product businesses in the expected timeframe, if at all, or in a manner contemplated by the company; and the company will be unable to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity or components to meet demand for its products or will under-utilize its microprocessor manufacturing facilities.

(a)The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from
    continuing operations adjusted for depreciation and amortization,
    amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest expense and
    taxes. The Company calculates and communicates 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 Company's 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.
