On October 17, 2013, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the Company) announced its financial position and results of operations as of and for its fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013 in a press release that is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 is financial information and commentary by Devinder Kumar, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, regarding the Companys fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013.
To supplement the Companys financial results presented on a U.S. GAAP (GAAP) basis, the Companys earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including 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. 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 Companys 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 operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share for the Company for all periods presented, the Company excluded the amortization of acquired intangible assets and restructuring and other special charges (gains), net.
Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following:
Amortization of acquired intangible assets: Amortization of acquired intangible assets represents amortization expenses of acquired identifiable intangible assets in connection with the Companys acquisitions of ATI Technologies and SeaMicro, Inc. The Company excluded this item from the Companys GAAP operating expenses, GAAP operating income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings (loss) per share for all periods presented because these expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
Restructuring and other special charges (gains), net: Restructuring and other special charges (gains), net, recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2013 primarily consisted of gains associated with real estate transactions related to the Companys facilities in Singapore and Austin, Texas. The net gains primarily represented the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying values of the properties sold. Restructuring and other special charges (gains), net, recorded in the second fiscal quarter of 2013 primarily consisted of costs the Company incurred from the exit of a portion of the Companys facility in Sunnyvale, California, partially offset by the release of employee severance costs that were either (i) estimated at the time of the employees separation and subsequently settled, or (ii) attributable to the subsequent retention of the employees due to changes in the business environment. During the third fiscal quarter of 2012, the Company incurred restructuring charges primarily related to severance and the continuation of certain employee benefits related to the termination of certain employees in the Companys back-end manufacturing facility in Singapore. The Company excluded restructuring and other special charges (gains), net, from the Companys GAAP operating expenses, GAAP operating income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings (loss) per share for all periods presented because they are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
In addition to the above non-GAAP financial measures, the Company presented Adjusted EBITDA in the earnings release as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company determines its Adjusted EBITDA 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 periods: for all periods presented, the Company also included an adjustment for restructuring and other special charges (gains), net; and for the nine months ended September 29, 2012, the Company also included adjustments for the limited waiver of exclusivity from GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a legal settlement with a third party and costs related to the acquisition of SeaMicro, Inc.
The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA in the financial schedules because the Companys 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 Companys 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 the earnings release 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 in the financial schedules because the Companys management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Companys 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 within the press release and financial schedules of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.

We achieved 26 percent sequential revenue growth driven by our semi-custom business and remain committed to generating approximately 50 percent of revenue from high-growth markets over the next two years. Developing industry-leading technology remains at our core, and we are in the middle of a multi-year journey to redefine AMD as a leader across a more diverse set of growth markets.

Quarterly Financial Summary

* | The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA 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, the Company also included an adjustment for net restructuring and other special charges (gains); and for nine months ended September 29, 2012, the Company also included adjustments for the limited waiver of exclusivity from GLOBALFOUNDRIES, legal settlement with a third party and costs related to the acquisition of SeaMicro, Inc. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA in the financial schedules because the Companys 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 Companys 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 the earnings release as a supplemental measure of its performance. Non-GAAP free cash flow is 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 in the financial schedules because the Companys management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Companys 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 within the press release and financial schedules of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. |

Q3 2013 Commentary
Revenue was $1.46 billion, up 26% sequentially. The sequential increase of 110% in the Graphics and Visual Solutions segment was due to increased revenue from sales of our semi-custom SoCs. Computing Solutions segment revenue was down 6% sequentially, due to decreased notebook and chipset unit shipments, partially offset by an increase in desktop unit shipments.
Gross margin was 36% in Q3 2013 and included a $19 million benefit, or approximately 1 percentage point, from the sale of inventory that had been previously reserved in Q3 2012 as compared to a similar $11 million benefit, or approximately 1 percentage point, in Q2 2013.
Operating expenses were $426 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $443 million, slightly below previous guidance of approximately $450 million primarily due to the timing of certain marketing expenses.
| R&D was $288 million, 20% of net revenue. |
| SG&A was $155 million, 11% of net revenue. |
AMD Q3-13 CFO Commentary | Page 1 | October 17, 2013 |
To derive non-GAAP operating expenses for Q3 2013, we excluded the impact of:
| Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $5 million, and |
| Restructuring and other special charges (gains), net of ($22) million. |
Non-GAAP operating income was $78 million and non-GAAP net income was $31 million.
To derive non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income for Q3 2013, we excluded the impact of:
| Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $5 million, and |
| Restructuring and other special charges (gains), net of ($22) million. |
Depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $52 million down from $54 million in the prior quarter.
Interest expense was $47 million, up $5 million from the prior quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to tax interest in the quarter.
Tax provision was $3 million in the quarter, flat from the prior quarter.
Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.04, calculated using 764 million diluted shares. This includes the $19 million benefit in Q3 2013 from sales of inventory previously reserved in Q3 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA was $153 million, up $99 million from the prior quarter.
Q3 2013 Segment Results Computing Solutions
Computing Solutions segment revenue was $790 million, down 6% sequentially due to decreased notebook and chipset unit shipments partially offset by increased desktop unit shipments.
| Client product revenue decreased sequentially due to lower notebook microprocessor sales in the quarter. |
| Microprocessor ASP was flat sequentially. |
AMD Q3-13 CFO Commentary | Page 2 | October 17, 2013 |
Computing Solutions operating income was $22 million, an improvement from operating income of $2 million in Q2 2013. Q3 2013 operating income included the impact of a $19 million benefit from sales of previously reserved inventory and Q2 2013 operating income included the impact of a similar $11 million benefit.
Q3 2013 Segment Results Graphics and Visual Solutions
Graphics and Visual Solutions (GVS) segment revenue was $671 million, up 110% compared to the prior quarter, driven by our semi-custom business.
| GVS segment revenue was up 110% sequentially due to Sony and Microsoft next generation products. |
| Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) revenue declined sequentially as customers began transitioning to our new products late in the quarter. |
| GPU ASP decreased sequentially. |
| Professional Graphics revenue reached a record high. |
GVS segment operating income was $79 million, up from breakeven in the prior quarter primarily due to increased revenue.
| Operating margin for the semi-custom business was in the mid-teens, primarily due to higher revenue and a smooth ramp in our first full quarter of production. |
Balance Sheet
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including long term marketable securities were $1.2 billion at the end of Q3 2013, up slightly from the prior quarter. These results included $56 million of cash proceeds from real estate transactions related to our Singapore and Austin, Texas facilities.
Accounts Receivable at the end of the quarter was $873 million, up $203 million compared to the end of Q2 2013 due to higher revenue.
Inventory was $922 million exiting the quarter, up $211 million compared to the end of Q2 2013 largely driven by our customers next generation game console ramps and in preparation for fourth quarter shipments of our new graphics products.

Non-GAAP Measures:
To supplement the financial results of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD or the Company) presented on a U.S. GAAP (GAAP) basis, this commentary contains non-GAAP financial measures, including 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 this 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, for all periods presented, the Company also included an adjustment for net restructuring and other special charges (gains). The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA because the Companys 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 Companys 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
AMD Q3-13 CFO Commentary | Page 5 | October 17, 2013 |
communicates non-GAAP free cash flow because the Companys management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of this cash flow. The Companys 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 Companys 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.
