Equity Method Investments

IM Flash Technologies, LLC

Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron) and Intel formed IM Flash Technologies, LLC (IMFT) in 2007 to manufacture NAND flash memory products for Micron and Intel. During 2012, we amended the operating agreement for IMFT and entered into agreements with Micron that modified our joint venture relationship. The amended operating agreement extended the term of IMFT to 2024, unless earlier terminated under certain terms and conditions, and provides that IMFT may manufacture certain emerging memory technologies in addition to NAND flash memory. Additionally, the amended agreement provides for certain rights that, beginning in 2015, will enable us to sell to Micron, or enable Micron to purchase from us, our interest in IMFT. If Intel exercises this right, Micron would set the closing date of the transaction within two years following such election and could elect to receive financing from Intel for one to two years. The agreements with Micron include a supply agreement for Micron to supply us with NAND flash memory products. The agreements also extend and expand our NAND joint development program with Micron to include emerging memory technologies.

As of June 28, 2014, we own a 49% interest in IMFT. The carrying value of our investment was $699 million as of June 28, 2014 ($646 million as of December 28, 2013) and is classified within other long-term assets.

IMFT is a variable interest entity. All costs of the IMFT joint venture will be passed on to Micron and Intel pursuant to our purchase agreements. Intel's portion of IMFT costs, primarily related to product purchases and production-related services, was approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2014 and approximately $205 million in the first six months of 2014 (approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2013 and approximately $200 million in the first six months of 2013). The amount due to IMFT for product purchases and services provided was approximately $95 million as of June 28, 2014 (approximately $75 million as of December 28, 2013).

IMFT depends on Micron and Intel for any additional cash needs. Our known maximum exposure to loss approximated the carrying value of our investment balance in IMFT, which was $699 million as of June 28, 2014. Except for the amount due to IMFT for product purchases and services, we did not have any additional liabilities recognized on our consolidated condensed balance sheets in connection with our interests in this joint venture as of June 28, 2014. Our potential future losses could be higher than the carrying amount of our investment, as Intel and Micron are liable for other future operating costs or obligations of IMFT. Future cash calls could also increase our investment balance and the related exposure to loss. In addition, because we are currently committed to purchasing 49% of IMFT’s production output and production-related services, we may be required to purchase products at a cost in excess of realizable value.

We have determined that we do not have the characteristics of a consolidating investor in the variable interest entity and, therefore, we account for our interest in IMFT using the equity method of accounting.

Cloudera, Inc.

During the second quarter of 2014, we invested in Cloudera, Inc. (Cloudera). Our fully-diluted ownership interest in Cloudera is 18% as of June 28, 2014. Our investment is accounted for under the equity and cost methods of accounting and is classified within other long-term assets. As of June 28, 2014, the carrying value of our equity method investment was $288 million and of our cost method investment was $454 million.

Net gains on the related derivatives were $9 million in the second quarter of 2014 and net losses of $56 million in the first six months of 2014 (net losses of $50 million in the second quarter of 2013 and net gains of $34 million in the first six months of 2013).
