Q2 2011 AMD Results

Revenue was $1.57 billion, down 2% compared to the first quarter of 2011 and down 5% compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 46%, up one percentage point quarter-over-quarter due to a stronger mix in margin accretive APU platforms.

Operating expenses were $606 million, less than guided due to the timing of expense recognition related to new products.

 

   

R&D was $367 million

 

   

SG&A was $239 million

Non-GAAP operating income was $114 million and non-GAAP net income was $70 million. Both exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $9 million.

Q2 2011 Segment Results – Computing Solutions

Computing Solutions segment revenue was $1.2 billion, flat compared to the prior quarter as higher mobile processor revenue was offset by lower server and desktop microprocessor revenue.

 

   

In a seasonally down quarter, AMD’s successful regional assortment helped offset seasonal trends as we capitalize on growth with key strategic OEMs, while making progress in key growth areas such as China and Latin America.

 

   

record mobile processor unit shipments were driven by continued strength of the APU platform, now representing over 70% of total mobile platform unit shipments and revenue in the quarter. We shipped over 1 million Llano APUs in the quarter and nearly 6 million Brazos APUs.

 

   

APU platforms now represent over 40% of client units shipped, underlining strong APU adoption and reflecting the beginning of a shift in the computing industry from legacy microprocessors to a revolutionary APU architecture.

APUs have opened up significant opportunities within our customer base,

 

   

the AMD E-series Fusion APU-based Lenovo x120e was one of the top selling commercial notebooks among distributors targeting small and medium businesses and exceeding demand forecasts.

 

   

we continue to grow our commercial footprint as AMD-based offerings are sold to large financial institutions.

 

   

we saw a 50% year-over-year increase in notebook designs from our top OEM partners.

Computing Solutions operating income was $142 million, up $42 million from the previous quarter, primarily due to improved gross margins from a richer mix of APU sales compared to the prior quarter.

Q2 2011 Segment Results – Graphics

Graphics segment revenue was $367 million, down 11% compared to the prior quarter mainly due to:

 

   

lower discrete mobile unit shipments; and

 

   

seasonality in the desktop discrete graphics Add-in Board market.

Graphics segment operating loss was $7 million, down $26 million from the prior quarter primarily due to lower revenue.

Balance Sheet

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of the quarter was $1.86 billion, up $116 million compared to the end of the first quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily due to cash generated by operations.

Accounts Receivable at the end of the quarter was $759 million, down $38 million compared to the end of the first quarter of 2011 due to a decline in revenue.

Inventory was $642 million exiting the quarter, down slightly from the prior quarter.

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

Non-GAAP Adjusted free cash flow was $143 million.

 

   

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, as of the third quarter of 2011, non-GAAP free cash flow will be calculated traditionally in accordance with industry standards.

We will continue to be strategic in our debt reduction efforts based on generating non-GAAP free cash flow and we expect to opportunistically look to reduce our debt based on market conditions.

Outlook

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

Q3 2011:

 

   

AMD expects revenue to increase 10 percent, plus or minus 2 percent, sequentially for the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $625 million.

 

   

AMD has reached an inflection point with its APU strategy as evidenced by the success of APU offerings. As the Llano APU penetration continues, we expect to increasingly participate in mainstream and performance notebook market segments. We believe this opportunity positions AMD to achieve higher client ASP and gross margin, and increase our mobile microprocessor unit market share in the second half of 2011.

 

   

We expect APU shipments to exceed two-thirds of AMD’s client unit shipments in the third quarter, representing nearly 100% of our mobile platform shipments.

Our new Bulldozer core for servers is expected to ship in the third quarter, and we believe will strengthen our competitive position in servers, setting the stage for unit market share recovery, as Interlagos-based platforms roll out throughout the second half of this year.

Additional Notes: AMD’s second quarter had 13 weeks of business compared to 14 weeks for the first quarter.

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 GLOBALFOUDNRIES (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 and the six months ended July 2, 2011, the Company included an adjustment related to a payment to GF and a legal settlement with a third party. For the second quarter of 2010 and the six months ended June 26, 2010, the Company included an adjustment an adjustment for certain restructuring reversals. 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.
