Quarterly Summary

  • Gross margin was 45 percent, down one percentage point sequentially primarily due to lower microprocessor average selling price (ASP).
  • Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of the quarter was $1.79 billion.

    • Operating income was $91 million, compared with $164 million in Q3-10 and $161 million in Q4-09.
    • Microprocessor ASP decreased sequentially and was flat year-over-year. The sequential decrease was due to lower notebook and server ASPs.
      • AMD kicked off the next era of vivid computing with the launch of the industry's first Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) aimed at providing better experiences on the types of visual and data-intensive applications that are becoming increasingly popular. Our first AMD Fusion APUs combine a low-power x86 microprocessor with DirectX®11 capable graphics to deliver optimized mobile experiences.

Cautionary Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements concerning AMD, its first quarter 2011 revenue and its 2011 goals, including profitable growth and the timing of the launch and ramp of new products and technologies and the features of these products as well as the timing of the launch of our customers' products that are based on our products, and demand for the Company's products, 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 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; the company will be unable to transition its products to advanced manufacturing process technologies in a timely and effective way; global business and economic conditions will not continue to improve or will worsen resulting in lower than currently expected revenue in the first quarter of 2011 and beyond; demand for computers and consumer electronics products and, in turn, demand for the company's products will be lower than currently expected; customers stop buying the company's products or materially reduce their demand for its products; the company will require additional funding and may not be able to raise funds on favorable terms or at all; 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 maintain the level of investment in research and development that is required to remain competitive; manufacturing or other costs may exceed the company's expectations; and the company will be unable to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity or components to meet demand for its products or will under-utilize its commitment with respect to GLOBALFOUNDRIES' microprocessor manufacturing facilities. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 25, 2010.

(1) In this press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, including for non-GAAP net income (loss) excluding GF/Foundry segment related items, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP gross margin. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect certain adjustments as presented in the tables in this press release. The Company also provided Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted free cash flow as supplemental measures of its performance. These items are defined in the footnotes to the selected corporate data tables provided at the end of this press release. The Company is providing these financial measures because it believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare its operating results for current and historical periods and also because the Company believes it assists investors in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance and for the other reasons described in the footnotes to the selected data tables.

(2) Starting in the first quarter of 2010 through December 25, 2010, the Company accounted for its investment in GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) under the equity method of accounting.

(1) From March 2, 2009 through December 26, 2009, the Company consolidated
    the operating results of GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF). Starting in the
    first fiscal quarter of 2010 the Company began to account for its
    investment in GF under the equity method of accounting. The Company
    believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to
    compare current and historical period operating results, by excluding
    our portion GF's results of operations in the fourth and third fiscal
    quarters of 2010 and the year ended December 25, 2010, and Foundry
    segment and Intersegment Eliminations in the fourth fiscal quarter of
    2009 and the year ended December 26, 2009.

(2) Starting in the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company began to
    account for its investment in GF under the equity method of accounting.
    From March 2, 2009 through December 26, 2009 the operating results of
    GF were included in the Foundry segment.

(3) For the fourth and third quarters of 2010, the Company excluded Equity
    in net income (loss) of investee. For the year ended December 25, 2010,
    the Company also excluded the gain recognized on the fair value
    assessment of its investment in GF upon deconsolidation, and the gross
    margin benefit due to the deconsolidation of GF. For the fourth fiscal
    quarter of 2009 and the year ended December 26, 2009, the Company
    excluded the Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations consisting
    of revenues, cost of sales, and profit on inventory between the
    Computing Solutions and the Foundry segments.

(4) The outstanding diluted share amount for the non-GAAP diluted earnings
    per share calculation for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 is
    758 million shares, including the 24 million shares related to the
    Company's 5.75% convertible notes. The outstanding diluted share
    amounts for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation for the
    third fiscal quarter and year ended December 25, 2010 is 731 million
    shares and 733 million shares, respectively. These share amounts
    exclude the 24 million shares related to the Company's 5.75%
    convertible notes because the inclusion of these shares would be
    anti-dilutive.

* Starting with the quarter ended December 26, 2009, the Company presented
  "Adjusted EBITDA" as a supplemental measure of its performance. Adjusted
  EBITDA for the Company was determined by adjusting operating income
  (loss) for depreciation and amortization, employee stock-based
  compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In
  addition: for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company included an
  adjustment related to its legal settlement with a third party; for the
  fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, the Company included an adjustment related
  to its legal settlement with Intel and for Foundry segment and
  Intersegment Eliminations operating loss; for fiscal 2010, the Company
  included adjustments related to its legal settlement with a third party
  and for certain restructuring reversals; and for fiscal 2009, the Company
  included adjustments related to its legal settlement with Intel, Foundry
  segment and Intersegment Eliminations operating loss, certain
  restructuring charges and GF formation costs. The Company calculates and
  communicates Adjusted EBITDA in the financial schedules because the
  Company's management believes it is of importance to investors and
  lenders in relation to its overall capital structure and its ability to
  borrow additional funds. In addition, the Company presents Adjusted
  EBITDA because it believes this measure assists investors in comparing
  its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by
  excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its
  core operating performance.  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 GAAP operating measure of operating
  income (loss) or 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.

** Long-term debt and capital lease obligations also includes the current
   portion.

*** Starting in the first quarter of 2010, the Company presents non-GAAP
    adjusted free cash flow as a supplemental measure of its performance.
    In 2008 and 2009 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries
    (collectively, the "AMD Parties") entered into supplier agreements with
    IBM Credit LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, (collectively, the
    "IBM Parties"). Pursuant to these supplier agreements, the AMD Parties
    sell to the IBM Parties invoices of selected distributor customers.
    Because the Company does not recognize revenue until its distributors
    sell its products to their customers, under U.S. GAAP, the Company
    classifies funds received from the IBM Parties as debt on the balance
    sheet. Moreover, for cash flow purposes, these funds are classified as
    cash flows from financing activities.  When a distributor pays the
    applicable IBM Party, the Company reduces the distributor's accounts
    receivable and the corresponding debt resulting in a non-cash
    accounting entry. Because the Company does not receive the cash from
    the distributor to reduce the accounts receivable, the distributor's
    payment is never reflected in the Company's cash flows from operating
    activities. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow for the Company was
    determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating
    activities by adding the distributors' payments to the IBM Parties to
    GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. This amount
    is then further adjusted by subtracting capital expenditures.
    Generally, under U.S. GAAP, the reduction in accounts receivable is
    assumed to be a source of operating cash flows.  Therefore, the Company
    believes that treating the payments from its distributor customers to
    the IBM Parties as if the Company actually received the cash from the
    distributor and then used that cash to pay down the debt is more
    reflective of the economic substance of the transaction. The Company
    calculates and communicates non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow in the
    financial schedules because the Company's management believes it is of
    importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows.
    The Company's calculation of non-GAAP Adjusted free cash flow may or
    may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other
    companies in the same industry. Investors should not view non-GAAP
    Adjusted Free Cash Flow as an alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of
    cash flows from operating or financing activities.
