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.
Q2 2013 Results
| • | AMD revenue $1.16 billion, up 7% sequentially and down 18% year-over-year |
| • | Gross margin of 40% |
| • | Operating loss of $29 million, net loss of $74 million, loss per share of $0.10 |
| • | Non-GAAP operating loss of $20 million, net loss of $65 million, loss per share of $0.09 |
Q2 2013 Commentary
Revenue was $1.16 billion, up 7% sequentially. Sequential revenue increase in the Computing Solutions segment of 12% was due to higher notebook, server and desktop unit shipments driven by increased demand for AMD-based products. Graphics and Visual Solutions segment revenue was down 5% sequentially.
Gross margin was 40% in Q2 2013 and included an $11 million benefit from sales of inventory that had been previously reserved in Q3 2012, which positively impacted gross margin by approximately 1 percentage point.
Operating expenses were $488 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $479 million, in line with previous guidance of approximately $480 million primarily due to realizing some benefits from our restructuring activities in the quarter as we drive towards our operating expense goal of approximately $450 million per quarter by Q3 2013.
| • | R&D was $308 million, 27% of net revenue. |
| • | SG&A was $171 million, 15% of net revenue. |
To derive non-GAAP operating expenses for Q2 2013, we excluded the impact of:
| • | Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $4 million, and |
| AMD Q2-13 CFO Commentary | Page 1 | July 18, 2013 |
| • | Restructuring charges, net of $5 million. |
Non-GAAP operating loss was $20 million and non-GAAP net loss was $65 million.
To derive non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss for Q2 2013, we excluded the impact of:
| • | Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $4 million, and |
| • | Restructuring charges, net of $5 million. |
Depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $54 million down from $62 million in the prior quarter primarily due to the sale and lease back of our Austin, Texas “Lone Star Campus” in Q1 2013.
Interest expense was $42 million, down compared to the prior quarter.
Tax provision was $3 million in the quarter, compared to $2 million in the prior quarter.
Non-GAAP net loss per share was $0.09, calculated using 752 million basic shares. This includes the $11 million benefit in Q2 2013 from sales of inventory previously reserved in Q3 2012. Basic shares are used in the net loss per share calculation.
Adjusted EBITDA was $54 million, up from $40 million in the prior quarter.
Q2 2013 Reportable Segment Name Change
AMD’s Graphics reportable segment has been renamed Graphics and Visual Solutions. The new reportable segment nomenclature provides greater clarity on the product lines that comprise the segment and reflects the growing importance of gaming and semi-custom offerings to AMD. There is no change to the composition of this reportable segment from what was previously reported.
AMD’s two reportable segments continue to be comprised of the following:
| • | the Computing Solutions segment, which includes microprocessors (MPUs), accelerated processing units (APUs), chipsets, embedded processors and servers; and |
| • | the Graphics and Visual Solutions segment is comprised of GPUs, including professional graphics, as well as revenue from semi-custom products and development and game console royalties. |
Q2 2013 Segment Results – Computing Solutions
Computing Solutions segment revenue was $841 million, up 12% sequentially due to significantly higher notebook unit shipments and higher server and desktop unit shipments.
| AMD Q2-13 CFO Commentary | Page 2 | July 18, 2013 |
| • | Client product revenue increased sequentially primarily due to higher unit shipments in the quarter for notebook and desktop microprocessors. |
| • | Client microprocessor ASP decreased sequentially primarily due to product mix in the quarter. |
| • | Server microprocessor revenue increased sequentially due to increased unit shipments quarter-over-quarter. |
| • | Chipset revenue was flat sequentially. |
AMD started shipping its next generation APU code-named “Temash” in the quarter. “Temash” is the world’s first 28nm, quad-core x86 SoC APU delivering the best graphics experience of any SoC for touch small form-factor notebooks, tablets and hybrids, 13-inches and below, enabling a superior HD media experience and high-end gaming. “Temash” delivers up to 172 percent more CPU performance per watt and up to 212 percent better graphics performance per watt than its predecessor1,2 and up to 12 hours of resting battery life3.
Computing Solutions operating income was $2 million, an improvement from an operating loss of $39 million in Q1 2013. The Q1 2013 operating loss included the impact of a $20 million benefit from sales of inventory that had been previously reserved in Q3 2012 and Q2 2013 operating income included the impact of a similar $11 million benefit.
Q2 2013 Segment Results – Graphics and Visual Solutions
Graphics and Visual Solutions segment revenue was $320 million, down 5% compared to the prior quarter.
| • | Graphics and Visual Solutions segment revenue was down 5% sequentially due to lower game console royalties. |
| • | Graphics and Visual Solutions segment ASP was down compared to the prior quarter. |
| • | Professional Graphics recorded another record quarter of sales. |
Graphics and Visual Solutions segment operating income was breakeven, down from $16 million in the prior quarter primarily due to lower game console royalties.
Balance Sheet
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including long term marketable securities were $1.1 billion as of the end of Q2 2013 in-line with our target cash balance of $1.1
| AMD Q2-13 CFO Commentary | Page 3 | July 18, 2013 |
billion and well above our minimum $700 million level. During the quarter AMD made a $40 million cash payment to GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) related to the reduction of wafer purchase commitments in 2012, as provided in the Third Amendment to the Wafer Supply Agreement (WSA).
Accounts Receivable at the end of the quarter was $670 million, up $25 million compared to the end of Q1 2013 due to higher revenue.
Inventory was $711 million exiting the quarter, up $98 million compared to the end of Q1 2013 as product inventory grew as expected largely driven by semi-custom products and the ramp of new products for the PC space to support growth in the second half of the year.
Accounts Payable was $402 million up $101 million compared to $301 million in the prior quarter mainly due to the timing of payments and purchases.
Payable to GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) line item on the Balance Sheet includes all amounts due to GF by AMD. The remaining balance of payments related to the reduction of wafer purchase commitments in 2012, as provided in the Third Amendment to the WSA is $200 million which will be paid in Q1 2014.
Long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including current portion as of the end of the quarter was $2.05 billion, flat compared to Q1 2013.
Net cash used in operations was $35 million. Non-GAAP free cash flow was negative $63 million.
Outlook
The following statements concerning AMD are forward-looking and actual results could differ materially from current expectations. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2013.
For Q3 2013 we expect:
| • | Revenue to increase 22% sequentially, +/-3%. |
| • | Gross margin to be approximately 36%. |
| • | Operating expenses to be approximately $450 million. |

Non-GAAP Measures:
To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) basis, this commentary contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, Adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP free cash flow. 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 presented “Adjusted EBITDA” in the commentary 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, the Company also included the following adjustments for the applicable period: for all periods presented, except for the second quarter of 2012, the Company also included an adjustment for net restructuring and other special charges, and for the second quarter of
| AMD Q2-13 CFO Commentary | Page 5 | July 18, 2013 |
2012, the Company included an adjustment related to a legal settlement with a third party. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA 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.
The Company also presents non-GAAP free cash flow in this commentary as a supplemental measure of its performance. Non-GAAP free cash flow for the Company was determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for capital expenditures. The Company calculates and communicates non-GAAP free cash flow because the Company’s management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of this cash flow. The Company’s calculation of non-GAAP 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 free cash flow as an alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating activities. The Company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 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.
