AMD REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
SUNNYVALE, CA--JANUARY 13, 1997--AMD today reported a net loss of
$21,243,000 on sales of $496,868,000 for its fourth quarter, ended December 29,
1996. The loss amounted to $0.15 per share.
Sales for the like period of 1995 were $595,178,000, which resulted in net
income of $9,344,000, or $0.07 per share. In the immediate-prior quarter, AMD
reported sales of $456,862,000, which resulted in a loss of $38,362,000, or
$0.28 per share.
Revenues for 1996 amounted to $1,953,019,000, which resulted in a net loss
of $68,950,000, or $0.51 per common share. In 1995 AMD reported revenues of
$2,468,379,000, and net income of $216,326,000, or $1.57 per common share on a
fully diluted basis.
"An increase in sales over the immediate-prior quarter, coupled with
effective expense controls and excellent operational performance, enabled AMD to
substantially reduce its operating loss in the fourth quarter," said W.J.
Sanders III, chairman and chief executive officer of AMD. "Bookings improved
significantly during the fourth quarter of 1996, and our book-to-bill ratio
exceeded 1:1 for the first time since the second quarter of 1995. Customers have
worked through excess inventories and order patterns currently reflect normal
consumption rates.

"Our Computation Products Group (CPG) - primarily Microsoft(R) Windows(R)-
compatible microprocessors - accounted for the majority of our revenue growth
over the third quarter. Shipments of AMD-K5(TM) fifth-generation microprocessors
again more than doubled over the immediate-prior quarter to 1.1 million units.
A richer product mix, aided by strong demand for higher-performance AMD-K5-PR133
devices, contributed to higher average selling prices. With today's announcement
of the AMD-K5-PR166 microprocessor, AMD's position in the mainstream of the
desktop personal computer market continues to improve.
"We are now widely sampling our AMD-K6(TM) sixth-generation MMX processor
to a broad customer base. We continue to expect to commence production in the
current quarter and achieve initial revenues from K6 microprocessors in the
second quarter," Sanders concluded.
The forward-looking statements in the above release concerning the Company's
microprocessor products, and any implication from any other statement in the
release about the future performance of the Company, involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from presently anticipated results are the following: success in
completing the design and verification of the AMD-K6 processor; success in
ramping production of new fifth- and sixth-generation microprocessors; shifts in
market demand and fluctuating customer inventory levels; and such other risks
and uncertainties as are detailed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition" contained in the Company's most
recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, and the Company's most recently filed
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
