AMD Reports First Quarter Results

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 21, 2009 AMD (NYSE: AMD) today reported first quarter 2009 results.

For financial reporting purposes, AMD consolidates the operating results of GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. in its results as of March 2, 2009 and has created the Foundry segment as of the start of the fiscal year. References to “AMD” in this announcement include these consolidated operating results which are reported for GAAP purposes. “AMD Product Company” refers to AMD, excluding the operating results of the Foundry segment and intersegment eliminations1,2.

AMD reported revenue for first quarter of 2009 of $1.177 billion. First quarter 2009 revenue was flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 and decreased 21 percent compared to the first quarter of 2008.

“AMD’s sequential microprocessor unit and revenue growth in difficult economic conditions demonstrate we can grow in an environment where customers are looking for maximum value,” said Dirk Meyer, AMD president and CEO. “We delivered on a number of important priorities in the first quarter. We launched GLOBALFOUNDRIES, maintained our cadence of new product and platform introductions, and made solid progress on our restructuring activities. The result is a more nimble AMD, capable of achieving long-term success based on our strengths designing and integrating industry-leading computing and graphics technologies.”

In the first quarter of 2009, AMD reported a net loss attributable to AMD common stockholders of $416 million or $0.66 per share, which includes a net unfavorable impact of $22 million, or $0.04 per share, as described in the table below3. AMD’s operating loss was $308 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, AMD had revenue from continuing operations of $1.162 billion, a net loss of $1.437 billion and an operating loss of $1.274 billion. In the first quarter of 2008, AMD had revenue from continuing operations of $1.487 billion, a net loss of $351 million and an operating loss of $234 million.

In the first quarter of 2009, AMD Product Company reported an adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $189 million and an adjusted non-GAAP operating loss of $124 million.

First quarter 2009 AMD gross margin was 43 percent, including a positive impact of 5 percentage points due to a $64 million benefit from the sale of inventory written down in the fourth quarter of 2008. Fourth quarter 2008 gross margin was 23 percent, including a negative impact of 20 percentage points due to a $227 million inventory write down. First quarter 2009 AMD Product Company non-GAAP gross margin was 35 percent.

Current Outlook

AMD’s 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.

Considering current macroeconomic conditions, limited visibility and historical seasonal patterns, AMD expects its Product Company revenue to be down for the second quarter of 2009.

Cautionary Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements concerning AMD Product Company, its second quarter 2009 revenue, and its future products and technologies, 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; global business and economic conditions will continue in their current state or worsen resulting in lower than currently expected revenue in the second quarter of 2009 and beyond; the company’s Asset Smart strategy will be less beneficial than anticipated; 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; the company’s restructuring efforts will not be effective; 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; 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 its products to advanced manufacturing process technologies in a timely and effective way; the company will be unable to maintain the level of investment in research and development and capacity that is required to remain competitive; 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2008.

*The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to AMD common stockholders adjusted for impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest expense, taxes and discontinued operations. AMD Product Company's adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the Foundry segment and intersegment eliminations net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and class B preferred accretion. 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.
