Intel Second-Quarter Revenue $8 Billion

Posted on: Wednesday, 19 July 2006, 18:00 CDT

Intel Corporation:

-- Operating income $1.1 billion ($1.4 billion excluding

share-based compensation)

-- EPS 15 cents (19 cents excluding share-based compensation)

-- New Intel(R) Core(TM) microarchitecture shipping in server,

desktop and mobile

Intel Corporation today announced second-quarter revenue of $8 billion, operating income of $1.1 billion, net income of $885 million and earnings per share (EPS) of 15 cents. Excluding the effects of share-based compensation, the company posted operating income of $1.4 billion, net income of $1.1 billion and EPS of 19 cents.

"In 2006 we are delivering the strongest product lineup in the industry, with many of these new products shipping ahead of schedule," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. "Our new Intel(R) Core(TM) microarchitecture is powering the world's best microprocessors for PCs and volume servers, products whose performance and energy efficiency are generating unprecedented industry response and the largest number of design wins at launch in Intel's history. We are also extending our lead in manufacturing technology, with the majority of microprocessor production this year on our advanced 65nm process."

Financial Review

Second-quarter gross margin was 52.1 percent, versus an expectation in April of 49 percent, plus or minus a couple of points. Gross margin benefited from better than expected microprocessor and chipset unit costs and inventory valuation, offset by lower than expected microprocessor average selling prices (ASPs).

Key Product Trends (Sequential)

-- Total microprocessor units were lower. The ASP was lower.

-- Chipset units were flat.

-- Motherboard units were lower.

-- Flash memory units were higher.

Sales Patterns

Sequential revenue in all of the company's major regions was below normal seasonal patterns. Microprocessor unit sales were below seasonal patterns as customers reduced their processor inventory levels to seasonally appropriate levels in a highly competitive pricing environment. Q2 2006 vs. Q1 2006 vs. Q2 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Asia-Pacific $4 billion -6% -14% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Americas $1.7 billion -10% -8% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe $1.4 billion -19% -24% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Japan $906 million -13% +3% ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent Events

-- Intel opened its third 65nm, 300mm wafer fab during the

quarter. The company's advanced technology is sustaining

record high yields and is on track to enable a shipment

crossover to 65nm processors during the third quarter.

-- The company began a major transition to the energy-efficient

Intel Core microarchitecture, the most significant design

improvement since the architecture of the Pentium(R) 4

processor was introduced in 2000. For dual-processor servers,

the company launched the Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5100 family, setting

a broad range of new world records in X86 server performance

and performance-per-watt. The Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo

processor for desktop PCs began shipping during the quarter

ahead of its formal launch July 27 and has already set

performance records across dozens of industry-standard PC

performance tests. The mobile PC version of the Intel Core 2

Duo processor is also shipping now, one month ahead of

schedule.

-- For large enterprise servers, Intel launched the Dual-Core

Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor, bringing as much as twice the

performance of earlier models while using 20 percent less

power.

-- The company announced that its next-generation Intel Xeon

processor for multiprocessor (MP) servers is shipping now,

approximately two quarters ahead of schedule. Intel also

notified customers that its first quad-core microprocessors

for server and desktop systems are ahead of schedule, with

shipments expected in the fourth quarter of this year rather

than the first half of 2007.

-- Intel ramped production of new chipsets on its 90nm, 300mm

technology. The company launched the Intel(R) 965 Express

chipset, formerly code-named Broadwater, which supports

advanced manageability, power management and memory control

features. One version of the chipset family will offer

programmable fourth-generation integrated graphics.

-- Under an ongoing program to improve operational efficiency and

results, the company announced the planned sale of its

communications and application processor business to Marvell

Technology Group. The company also eliminated approximately

1,000 management positions within the company.

The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the third quarter, the year and the future involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause Intel's actual results to differ materially from current expectations, including the following:

-- Intel operates in intensely competitive industries that are

characterized by a high percentage of costs that are fixed or

difficult to reduce in the short term, significant pricing

pressures, and product demand that is highly variable and

difficult to forecast. Additionally, Intel is in the midst of

a crossover to a new microarchitecture on 65nm process

technology in all major product segments, and there could be

execution issues associated with these changes, including

product defects and errata along with lower than anticipated

manufacturing yields. Revenue and the gross margin percentage

are affected by the timing of new Intel product introductions

and the demand for and market acceptance of Intel's products;

actions taken by Intel's competitors, including product

offerings, marketing programs and pricing pressures and

Intel's response to such actions; Intel's ability to respond

quickly to technological developments and to incorporate new

features into its products; and the availability of sufficient

inventory of Intel products and related components from other

suppliers to meet demand. Factors that could cause demand to

be different from Intel's expectations include customer

acceptance of Intel and competitors' products; changes in

customer order patterns, including order cancellations;

changes in the level of inventory at customers; and changes in

business and economic conditions.

-- The gross margin percentage could vary significantly from

expectations based on changes in revenue levels; product mix

and pricing; variations in inventory valuation, including

variations related to the timing of qualifying products for

sale; excess or obsolete inventory; manufacturing yields;

changes in unit costs; capacity utilization; impairments of

long-lived assets, including manufacturing, assembly/test and

intangible assets; and the timing and execution of the

manufacturing ramp and associated costs, including start-up

costs.

-- Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation

expenses, vary depending on the level of demand for Intel's

products and the level of revenue and profits. Intel is in the

midst of a structure and efficiency review which may result in

several actions that could have an impact on expense levels.

-- The tax rate expectation is based on current tax law and

current expected income and assumes Intel continues to receive

tax benefits for export sales. The tax rate may be affected by

the closing of acquisitions or divestitures; the jurisdictions

in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed;

changes in the estimates of credits, benefits and deductions;

the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various

tax authorities; and the ability to realize deferred tax

assets.

-- Gains or losses from equity securities and interest and other

could vary from expectations depending on equity market levels

and volatility; gains or losses realized on the sale or

exchange of securities; impairment charges related to

marketable, non-marketable and other investments; interest

rates; cash balances; and changes in fair value of derivative

instruments.

-- Dividend declarations and the dividend rate are at the

discretion of Intel's board of directors, and plans for future

dividends may be revised by the board. Intel's dividend and

stock buyback programs could be affected by changes in its

capital spending programs, changes in its cash flows and

changes in the tax laws, as well as by the level and timing of

acquisition and investment activity.

-- Intel's results could be affected by the amount, type, and

valuation of share-based awards granted as well as the amount

of awards cancelled due to employee turnover and the timing of

award exercises by employees.

-- Intel's results could be impacted by unexpected economic,

social, political and physical/infrastructure conditions in

the countries in which Intel, its customers or its suppliers

operate, including military conflict and other security risks,

natural disasters, infrastructure disruptions, health concerns

and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

-- Intel's results could be affected by adverse effects

associated with product defects and errata (deviations from

published specifications), and by litigation or regulatory

matters involving intellectual property, stockholder,

consumer, antitrust and other issues, such as the litigation

and regulatory matters described in Intel's SEC reports.

A more detailed discussion of these and other factors that could affect results is included in Intel's SEC filings, including the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2006.

Status of Business Outlook

During the quarter, Intel's corporate representatives may reiterate the Business Outlook during private meetings with investors, investment analysts, the media and others. From the close of business Sept. 1 until publication of the company's third-quarter 2006 earnings release Oct. 17, Intel will observe a "Quiet Period" during which the Business Outlook disclosed in the company's press releases and filings with the SEC should be considered to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to update by the company.

The prior period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect certain reorganizations. The Digital Enterprise Group operating segment's products include microprocessors and related chipsets and motherboards designed for the desktop (including consumer desktop) and enterprise computing market segments, communications infrastructure components such as network processors and embedded microprocessors, wired connectivity devices, and products for network and server storage. The Mobility Group operating segment's products include microprocessors and related chipsets designed for the notebook computing market segment, wireless connectivity products, and application and cellular baseband processors used in cellular handsets and handheld computing devices. In the second quarter of 2006, the company entered into an agreement to sell the business line that includes application and cellular baseband processors used in cellular handsets and handheld computing devices. The Flash Memory Group operating segment's products include NOR flash memory products designed for cellular phones and embedded form factors as well as NAND flash memory products designed primarily for digital audio players. Results for the Digital Home Group, Digital Health Group and Channel Platforms Group operating segments are included within the "all other" category. Revenue for the "all other" category primarily consists of microprocessors and related chipsets sold by the Digital Home Group. The "all other" category includes certain corporate-level operating expenses, including a portion of profit-dependent bonus and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments. "All other" also includes the results of operations of seed businesses that support the company's initiatives. Additionally, "all other" includes acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairments of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill, and charges for purchased in-process research and development. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, "all other" includes share-based compensation resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of share-based compensation and the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, "Share-based Payment" ("123R"). The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by the company exclude the income statement effects of all forms of share-based compensation and the effects of 123R upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the Form 8-K dated July 19, 2006 that Intel has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
