AMD REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
SUNNYVALE, CA-APRIL 14, 1999-Advanced Micro Devices today reported a net loss of
$128,367,000 on revenues of $631,593,000 for its first quarter, ended March 28,
1999. The loss amounted to $0.88 per share. The results for the first quarter
include a charge of $15,016,000 for restructuring and other special charges.
Without the restructuring and other special charges, the net loss would have
been $0.81 per share.
Revenues declined by 20 percent from the $788,820,000 achieved in the quarter
ended December 27, 1998, which resulted in net income of $22,321,000, or $0.15
per share. Revenues increased by 17 percent from the $540,856,000 reported for
the quarter ended March 29, 1998, which resulted in a net loss of $62,727,000,
or $0.44 per share.
"The best thing that can be said about the first quarter is that it's over,"
said W.J. Sanders III, chairman and chief executive officer. "The significant
decline in revenues reported by AMD in the first quarter was almost entirely due
to previously reported AMD-K6-2 microprocessor yield issues. The large revenue
decline in the face of high fixed costs and record spending on research and
development of $160 million in the quarter precipitated the unprecedented loss.
Improvements in production yields in March and in the current quarter to date
presage a sharp increase in unit production in the current quarter. The last
seven weeks' production results increase our confidence in achieving our
previously stated goal of shipping five million units in the current quarter.
"We are seeing improving order patterns in our non-processor product lines in
the aggregate, with flash memories leading the way," Sanders concluded.
