Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information in this report furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such subsequent filing specifically references the information furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this report.

On April 21, 2011, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial position and results of operations as of and for its fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2011 in a press release that is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 is financial information and commentary by Thomas J. Seifert, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company regarding the Company’s fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2011.

From the first fiscal quarter of 2010 through December 25, 2010, the Company deconsolidated GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (“GF”) results of operations and accounted for its investment in GF under the equity method of accounting. Beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company started accounting for its investment in GF under the cost method of accounting. To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) basis, the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income excluding GF related items, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP earnings per share, non-GAAP gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow. The Company believes that this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare current and historical periods’ operating results and that 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.

To derive non-GAAP net income for the Company for the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company excluded GF related items (the equity income (loss) and dilution gain in investee, net and a payment to GF). The Company further excluded the amortization of acquired intangible assets and charges related to legal settlement.

To derive non-GAAP net income for the Company for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company excluded GF related items (the equity income (loss) and dilution gain in investee, net). The Company further excluded the amortization of acquired intangible assets, a gain from a legal settlement, income tax related to a legal settlement and a gain from the sale of marketable securities related to an investment.

To derive non-GAAP net income for the Company for the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company excluded GF related items (the gross margin benefits due to the deconsolidation of GF, the deconsolidation gain based on the fair value assessment of its investment in GF and the equity income (loss) and dilution gain in investee, net). The Company further excluded the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

To derive non-GAAP operating income for the Company for the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company excluded a payment to GF, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and a charge related to a legal settlement.

To derive non-GAAP operating income for the Company for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company excluded the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and a gain from a legal settlement.

To derive non-GAAP operating income for the Company for the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company excluded the gross margin benefits due to the deconsolidation of GF and the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

To derive non-GAAP gross margin for the Company for the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company excluded a charge related to a legal settlement and a payment to GF.

To derive non-GAAP gross margin for the Company for the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company excluded the gross margin benefits due to the deconsolidation of GF.


Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following:

Gross margin benefits due to the deconsolidation of GF: The deconsolidation of GF’s results of operations from the Company’s results of operations resulted in incremental gross margin benefit in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 when compared to AMD Product Company in prior periods. “AMD Product Company” refers to the results of operations of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. on a stand-alone basis, which were derived by excluding from the Company’s consolidated operating results the Company’s former Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations consisting of revenues, cost of sales, and profits on inventory between AMD Product Company and the Foundry segment. This was partially attributable to the elimination of the mark-up charged by GF from the value of inventory as of the beginning of the first fiscal quarter of 2010. In addition, in the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company updated its inventory standard costs process with respect to inventory purchased from GF. The Company excluded this item from the Company’s GAAP net income, GAAP operating income and GAAP gross margin for its first fiscal quarter of 2010 because it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance and because the Company believes exclusion of this item enables investors to better evaluate the Company’s current operating performance compared with prior periods. The impact of this item for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 was not material.

Deconsolidation gain on the fair value assessment of investment in GF: Effective as of the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company deconsolidated the results of operations of GF and through December 25, 2010, accounted for its investment in GF under the equity method of accounting. Under the accounting guidelines pertaining to deconsolidation, the Company’s opening investment in GF was required to be recorded at fair value as of the date of deconsolidation. The difference between this initial fair value of the investment in GF and the net carrying book value was recognized as a gain or loss in earnings. During the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company completed a valuation analysis to determine the initial fair value of its investment in GF. Based on this analysis, in the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company recognized a non-cash, one-time gain related to the deconsolidation of approximately $325 million. The Company excluded this gain from the Company’s GAAP net income for the first fiscal quarter of 2010 because it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Equity income (loss) and dilution gain in investee, net: Effective as of the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company began accounting for its investment in GF under the cost method of accounting. For the fiscal 2010, in conjunction with the deconsolidation of the results of operations of GF in the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company accounted for its investment in GF under the equity method of accounting. The equity income (loss) and dilution gain in investee, net primarily consists of the Company’s proportionate share of GF’s losses for the period based on the Company’s ownership percentage of GF’s Class A Preferred Shares, the Company’s portion of the non-cash accretion on GF’s Class B Preferred Shares, the elimination of intercompany profit, reflecting the mark-up on inventory that remains on the Company’s balance sheet at the end of the period, the amortization of basis differences identified from the purchase price allocation process based on the fair value of GF upon deconsolidation, and, to the extent applicable, the gain or loss on dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in GF as a result of capital infusions into GF by ATIC, and for the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the net gain on dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in GF as a result of ATIC’s contribution of Chartered Semiconductor to GF. The Company excluded this item from the Company’s GAAP net income for all periods presented, because the Company believes it is important for investors to have visibility into the Company’s financial results excluding the financial results of GF and GF related items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

Payment to GLOBALFOUNDRIES: In the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company incurred a charge of $24 million in cost of sales related to a payment to GF in the form of cash and GF Class A Preferred Shares that the Company owned. This payment primarily related to certain manufacturing assets of GF, which do not benefit the Company. The Company excluded this item from the Company’s GAAP net income, GAAP operating income, and GAAP gross margin for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 because it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance and because the Company believes exclusion of this item enables investors to better evaluate the Company’s current operating performance compared with prior periods.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets: The Company incurred significant expenses in connection with the ATI acquisition, which it would not have otherwise incurred and which the Company believes are not indicative of ongoing performance. These expenses included the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. The Company excluded this item from the Company’s GAAP net income and GAAP operating income for all periods presented in order to enable investors to better evaluate its current operating performance compared with prior periods and because these expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.


Legal settlements: On December 22, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a third party. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company will receive an aggregate of $283 million, less applicable withholding taxes. The Company recorded a gain of $283 million in connection with this agreement for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010. In the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $5 million to cost of sales related to a legal settlement. The Company excluded the $283 million gain from its GAAP net income and GAAP operating income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 and the $5 million charge from its GAAP net income, GAAP operating income and GAAP gross margin for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 because they are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Income tax related to legal settlement: On December 22, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a third party. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company will receive an aggregate of $283 million, less applicable withholding taxes. The Company recorded a $47 million tax provision related to this legal settlement in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010. The Company excluded this item from the Company’s GAAP net income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 because it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Gain on investment sale: In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company sold a portion of its marketable securities and recognized a gain on the sale. The Company excluded the effect of this item from its GAAP net income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 because it is not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

In addition, the Company presented “Adjusted EBITDA” in the earnings release as a supplemental measure of its performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is 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 first fiscal quarter of 2011 and the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company included adjustments related to the legal settlements with third parties, and for the first fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company also included an adjustment related to a payment to GF.

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.

Starting in the first quarter of 2010, the Company also presents non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow in the earnings release 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 sold 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 adding the distributors’ payments to the IBM Parties to GAAP net cash provided by 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. On February 11, 2011, the


Company terminated its supplier agreements with IBM Parties. As a result, the Company expects that as of the third quarter of 2011, it will transition away from making the adjustment for the distributors’ payments to the IBM Parties to its GAAP net cash provided by operating activities when calculating non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow.

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. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations within the press release and financial schedules of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Management does not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Quarterly Summary

 

   

Gross margin was 43 percent.

 

   

Non-GAAP gross margin was 45 percent, flat sequentially.

 

   

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of the quarter was $1.75 billion.

 

   

Computing Solutions segment revenue decreased 2 percent sequentially and increased 3 percent year-over-year. The sequential decrease was driven primarily by lower average selling price (ASP) partially offset by higher desktop microprocessor sales. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by strong microprocessor unit sales in the channel.

 

   

Operating income was $100 million, compared with $91 million in Q410 and $146 million in Q110.

 

   

Microprocessor ASP decreased sequentially and year-over-year.

 

   

AMD commenced revenue shipments of AMD’s first Fusion APU for mainstream notebooks (codenamed “Llano”) that combines discrete-class graphics capabilities, personal supercomputing performance and AMD AllDay™ power.

 

   

Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Sony and Toshiba shipped sleek new thin-and-light notebooks based on AMD’s low-power APUs capable of delivering high definition visual experiences and extended battery life.

 

   

More than 50 applications from software companies including Adobe, ArcSoft, Corel, CyberLink and Microsoft take advantage of the incredible compute power found in AMD’s APUs and GPUs to dramatically improve application performance and power efficiency.

 

   

AMD launched the world’s first APU specifically designed for embedded systems with a record number of embedded partners for the company. Fujitsu, Kontron, Quixant and Congatec announced APU-based solutions for graphics-intensive markets like digital signage, Internet-ready set top boxes, casino gaming machines and point-of-sale kiosks. Acer, Cray, Dell, HP, SGI and other server manufacturers launched new or updated systems based on five newly introduced AMD Opteron™ 6100 series processors.

 

   

In the high performance computing market (HPC), AMD Opteron-based solutions continue to gain traction based on their greater scalability. New customer wins include Lockheed Martin’s cluster for the US Department of Defense and the University of Sao Paulo’s cluster to enable advanced scientific astronomical research.

 

   

AMD expanded its enthusiast desktop offerings with the introduction of its fastest four-core processor, the AMD Phenom™ II X4 975 Black Edition.

 

   

Graphics segment revenue decreased 3 percent sequentially and was flat year-over-year. The sequential decrease was driven primarily by a seasonal decline in royalties received in connection with the sale of game console systems.

 

   

Operating income was $19 million, compared with $68 million in Q410 and $47 million in Q110.

 

   

GPU ASP decreased sequentially and year-over-year.

 

   

AMD maintained its graphics performance leadership position with the launch of the world’s fastest graphics card, the AMD Radeon™ HD 6990.

 

   

Apple refreshed its Macbook Pro line-up with the new AMD Radeon HD 6490M and HD 6750M graphics chips. AMD now provides discrete graphics solutions across Apple’s iMac and Macbook Pro product lines.

 

   

Strong industry adoption of AMD’s mobile graphics continued, as HP and Dell launched new designs powered by the new AMD Radeon™ HD6000M family of graphics processors.

* 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 first quarter of 2011, the Company included an adjustment related to a payment to GLOBALFOUNDRIES and a legal settlement with a third party; and for the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company included an adjustment related to its legal settlement with a third party. 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.

 

** 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 sold 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. On February 11, 2011, the Company terminated its supplier agreements with the IBM Parties. 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.

AMD Reports First Quarter 2011 Results – CFO Commentary

April 21, 2011

A reconciliation for all non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this commentary to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below and in our financial tables that accompany our earnings press release available on quarterlyearnings.amd.com

First Quarter 2011 Results

 

   

AMD revenue $1.61 billion, 2% sequential decline; 2% increase year-over-year

 

   

Net income $510 million, EPS $0.68, operating income $54 million

 

   

Non-GAAP net income $56 million, EPS $0.08, operating income $92 million

 

   

Gross margin 43%

 

   

Non-GAAP gross margin 45%

Q1 2011 Commentary

Revenue was $1.61 billion, down 2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 and up 2% compared to the first quarter of 2010.

The quarter-over-quarter decline was primarily due to:

 

   

a seasonally driven decline in game console revenue

 

   

lower server and notebook microprocessor sales driven by ASP declines

Non-GAAP gross margin was 45%, flat quarter-over-quarter due to:

 

   

a seasonally driven decline in game console revenue

 

   

a weaker mix in legacy MPU products offset by higher volume in new, lower-cost, margin accretive APUs (Brazos platform) and lower than anticipated 32nm manufacturing costs

Operating expenses were $628 million, significantly less than the guided $650 million due to tight expense management.

 

   

R&D was $367 million

 

   

SG&A was $261 million, which includes a separation payment to AMD’s former CEO

 

AMD Q1-11 CFO Commentary   Page 1   April 21, 2011

Non-GAAP operating income was $92 million, which excludes the impact of:

 

   

$24 million in cost of sales related to a payment to GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) primarily related to certain manufacturing assets of GF which do not benefit AMD

 

   

a charge related to a legal settlement and amortization of acquired intangible assets

Non-GAAP net income was $56 million, which excludes:

 

   

a noncash gain of $492 million related to the dilution of our equity interest in GF in Q1’11 as a result of the combination of Chartered Semiconductor and GF

 

   

$24 million in cost of sales related to a payment to GF primarily related to certain manufacturing assets of GF which do not benefit AMD

 

   

a charge related to a legal settlement and amortization of acquired intangible assets

Non-GAAP diluted EPS was 8 cents in the first quarter of 2011, calculated using 740 million fully diluted shares. The shares used to calculate AMD’s first quarter GAAP EPS is 764 million on a fully diluted basis. The GAAP diluted share count is higher than the non-GAAP diluted share count due to the inclusion of common shares issuable upon conversion of the 5.75% convertible notes, which become dilutive above 30 cents EPS, and were therefore dilutive to first quarter GAAP EPS of 68 cents.

Adjusted EBITDA was $198 million, down $43 million from the prior quarter primarily due to the decline in revenue and an increase in operating expenses.

Q1 2011 Segment Results – Computing Solutions

Computing Solutions segment revenue was $1.2 billion, down 2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to:

 

   

lower server and notebook microprocessor sales driven by ASP declines, partially offset by higher desktop microprocessor sales

 

   

weak demand in mature markets partially offset by moderate growth in demand in emerging economies

APU platforms are gaining traction in the market as evidenced by a faster than anticipated ramp as unit shipments tripled over the prior quarter. Adding to this momentum, we started shipping Llano, our high-end APU, late in the first quarter of 2011.

Computing Solutions operating income was $100 million, up $9 million from the previous quarter, primarily due to improved gross margins from a higher mix of APU sales compared to the prior quarter.

 

AMD Q1-11 CFO Commentary   Page 2   April 21, 2011


LOGO

 

Q1 2011 Segment Results – Graphics

Graphics segment revenue was $413 million, down 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 mainly due to:

 

   

a seasonally driven decline in game console revenue and lower ASPs of GPUs sold into the AIB and retail channel

 

   

partially offset by double digit growth in mobile GPU sales

Graphics segment operating income was $19 million, down $49 million from the fourth quarter of 2010 primarily due to seasonally lower game console revenue.

Balance Sheet

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of the quarter was $1.75 billion, down $44 million compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2010.

Accounts Receivable at the end of the quarter was $797 million, down $171 million compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to timing of sales.

Inventory was $648 million exiting the quarter.

Long term debt as of the end of the quarter was $2.2 billion.

Non-GAAP Adjusted free cash flow was $154 million, up $143 million from the fourth quarter of 2010 due to higher non-GAAP net cash provided by operating activities.

 

   

Starting with the first quarter of 2010, AMD began presenting non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow as a supplemental measure of its performance to adjust for the impact of our receivable funding arrangement with IBM Credit. In February 11, 2011 we terminated this funding program. We expect to transition away from making adjustments related to this program to our GAAP net cash provided by operating activities. As a result, we expect that as of the third quarter of 2011, free cash flow will be calculated traditionally in accordance with industry standards.

Outlook

The following statements concerning AMD are forward-looking, and actual results could differ materially from current expectations.

Q2 2011:

 

   

AMD expects second quarter revenue to be flat to slightly down

 

   

Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $620 million

Wafer Supply Agreement (WSA) – as amended in Q1 2011

In the first quarter of 2011, AMD amended its WSA with GF. The financial impact of the WSA amendment is outlined below:

 

   

In 2011: AMD expects to pay GF between $1.1 and $1.5B for wafer purchases.*

 

   

In 2012: AMD expects to pay GF between $1.5 and $1.9B for wafer purchases.* AMD will resume compensating GF on a cost-plus basis to manufacture wafers for our MPU and APU products.

 

   

Beyond 2012: AMD expects future purchases from GF will continue to be material under the WSA.

(* These costs could increase or decrease as a result of variations in yields and several other factors, including our current expectations regarding demand for our products.)

AMD held a conference call on April 4, 2011 related to the WSA amendment. Further details about the WSA amendment and access to the replay of the conference call and webcast can be accessed at http://ir.amd.com.

Non-GAAP Measures:

To supplement the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this commentary contains non-GAAP financial measures, including for non-GAAP net income (loss) excluding GF 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, and the Company has presented a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the tables below.

The Company also provided Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted free cash flow as supplemental measures of its performance.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is 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 first quarter of 2011, the Company included an adjustment related to a payment to GLOBALFOUNDRIES and a legal settlement with a third party; and for the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company included an adjustment related to its legal settlement with a third party. 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.

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 sold 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. On February 11, 2011, the Company terminated its supplier agreements with the IBM Parties. 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.

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.
