Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information in this report furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto but excluding Exhibit 99.3 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such subsequent filing specifically references the information furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this report. The information in Exhibit 99.3 attached hereto is filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

On October 16, 2014, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial position and results of operations as of and for its fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014 in an earnings 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 Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014.

Effective as of July 1, 2014, the Company reorganized into two business groups. As a result of this organizational change, the Company created two new reportable segments. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 is certain quarterly segment data regarding the Company’s fiscal quarters ended March 30, 2013 through September 27, 2014, reflecting these new reportable segments.

To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) basis, the Company’s earnings press release and CFO commentary contain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP expense to revenue ratio, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow.

Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets: represents amortization expenses of acquired identifiable intangible assets in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of ATI Technologies Inc. and SeaMicro, Inc.

Restructuring and other special charges (gains), net: represents gains and losses associated with sale and leaseback activities as well as employee severance costs associated with the Company’s restructuring plans.

Workforce rebalancing severance charges: represents employee severance costs associated with a reduction of the Company’s global workforce as part of the ongoing transformation and diversification strategy.

Loss on debt redemption: represents losses that the Company incurred as a result of the repurchase of certain outstanding indebtedness in excess of the carrying amount of the debt.

Legal settlements, net: represents various licenses and settlements regarding patent-related matters.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 10, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “Plan”) designed to implement operating efficiencies. Under the Plan, the Company expects to reduce global headcount by 7 percent, largely expected to be completed by the end of the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, and to align the Company’s real estate footprint with its reduced headcount, largely expected to be completed by the end of the Company’s first half of fiscal 2015.

The Company currently estimates that it will record a restructuring and impairment charge of an aggregate amount of approximately $70 million under the Plan. The Company expects that it will record a restructuring and impairment charge of approximately $57 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, primarily related to severance, and a restructuring charge of approximately $13 million in the first half of fiscal 2015, primarily related to real estate actions. The Company expects to make cash payments related to the Plan of approximately $34 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and approximately $20 million in the first half of fiscal 2015.

The Company believes that the restructuring actions will result in operational savings, primarily in operating expenses, of approximately $9 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 and approximately $85 million in fiscal 2015.


This report contains forward-looking statements concerning the Company and the Plan, including the expected benefits of the Plan, the timing of actions implemented in connection with the Plan, and expected restructuring and impairment charges, cash payments and operational savings, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “would” and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this report are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this report and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 28, 2014.

  o Revenue of $1.43 billion, flat sequentially and a decrease of 2 percent year-over-year

 

  o Gross margin of 35 percent

 

  o Operating income of $63 million and non-GAAP(1) operating income of $66 million

    Announces restructuring plan to better position the company for profitability and long-term growth

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Oct. 16, 2014 – AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced revenue for the third quarter of 2014 of $1.43 billion, operating income of $63 million and net income of $17 million, or $0.02 per share. Non-GAAP (1) operating income was $66 million and non-GAAP (1) net income was $20 million, or $0.03 per share.

“AMD’s third quarter financial performance reflects progress in diversifying our business,” said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO. “Our Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment results were strong; however, performance in our Computing and Graphics segment was mixed based on challenging market conditions that require us to take further steps to evolve and strengthen the financial performance of this business. Our top priority is to deliver leadership technologies and products as we continue to transform AMD.”

Effective July 1, 2014, AMD reorganized into two business groups, one focused on the traditional PC market and the second focused on adjacent high-growth opportunities.

Accordingly, AMD has two reportable segments:

 

    Computing and Graphics, which primarily includes desktop and notebook processors and chipsets, discrete GPUs and professional graphics; and

 

    Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom, which primarily includes server and embedded processors, dense servers, semi-custom SoC products, engineering services and royalties.

Quarterly Financial Summary

 

    Gross margin was 35 percent in Q3 2014.

 

  o Gross margin was flat sequentially and included a $27 million, or 2 percent, benefit from revenue related to technology licensing.

 

    Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $938 million at the end of the quarter, essentially flat from the prior quarter.

 

    Total debt at the end of the quarter was $2.20 billion.

 

    Computing and Graphics segment revenue decreased 6 percent sequentially and decreased 16 percent year-over-year. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower chipset and GPU sales. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to decreased notebook processor and chipset sales.

 

  o Operating loss was $17 million, compared with an operating loss of $6 million in Q2 2014 and operating income of $9 million in Q3 2013. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower revenue while the year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower revenue partially offset by lower operating expenses.

 

  o Client average selling price (ASP) increased sequentially and year-over-year primarily driven by a richer mix of notebook processor sales.

 

  o GPU ASP decreased sequentially due to lower desktop GPU ASP and increased year-over-year.

 

    Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment revenue increased 6 percent sequentially and 21 percent year-over-year primarily driven by increased sales of semi-custom SoCs.

 

  o Operating income was $108 million compared with $97 million in Q2 2014 and $92 million in Q3 2013. The sequential and year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased sales of semi-custom SoCs.

 

  o Embedded revenue grew by double digits on a percentage basis sequentially.

Q4 2014 Restructuring and Transformation Initiatives

As a part of AMD’s ongoing transformation work, the company has developed a targeted restructuring plan to better position AMD for profitability and long-term growth while aligning investments and resources with high-priority opportunities.


The restructuring plan, which will be largely implemented in Q4 2014, is expected to:

 

    Reduce global headcount by 7 percent, largely expected to be completed by the end of Q4 2014;

 

    Align AMD’s real estate footprint with its reduced headcount;

 

    Result in a restructuring and impairment charge of approximately $57 million in Q4 2014, primarily related to severance, and a restructuring charge of approximately $13 million in 1H 2015, primarily related to real estate actions;

 

  o The company expects to make cash payments related to these actions of approximately $34 million in Q4 2014 and $20 million in 1H 2015;

 

    Result in operational savings, primarily in operating expenses, of approximately $9 million in Q4 2014 and approximately $85 million in 2015.

“While decisions that impact the size of our global team are never entered into lightly, this is the right step to ensure we prioritize our resources and engineering investments in our highest-priority opportunities that can drive improved profitability and long-term growth,” said Dr. Su.

Recent Highlights

 

    AMD appointed Dr. Lisa Su as president and CEO and a member of the board of directors, succeeding Mr. Rory Read who will remain with the company through 2014 to advise on the transition. Mr. Joseph Householder was also appointed to the company’s board. Mr. Householder currently serves as executive vice president and chief financial officer of Sempra Energy.

 

    AMD and Synopsys announced a multi-year agreement, with Synopsys acquiring rights to AMD’s interface and foundation IP. The IP partnership will provide AMD with access to a range of Synopsys tools and IP for advanced FinFET process nodes.

  1. In this earnings press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect certain adjustments as presented in the tables in this earnings press release. AMD also provided Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow as supplemental measures of its performance. These items are defined in the footnotes to the selected corporate data tables provided at the end of this earnings press release. AMD 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 AMD believes it assists investors in comparing AMD’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. Refer to the data tables at the end of this earnings.

* 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 indicated periods: for the nine months ended September 27, 2014, the Company included an adjustment for workforce rebalancing severance charges; and for the third quarter of 2013 and nine months ended September 28, 2013, the Company included an adjustment for net restructuring and other special charges (gains). The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA in the earnings press release 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 the earnings press release as a supplemental measure of its performance. Non-GAAP free cash flow is determined by adjusting GAAP net cash used in operating activities for capital expenditures. The Company calculates and communicates non-GAAP free cash flow in the financial earnings press release 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 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 earnings press release of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

AMD Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results – CFO Commentary

October 16, 2014

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 at quarterlyearnings.amd.com.

Q3 2014 Results

 

    Revenue of $1.43 billion, flat sequentially and down 2% year-over-year

 

    Gross margin of 35%, flat sequentially

 

    Operating income of $63 million and non-GAAP operating income of $66 million, compared to operating income of $63 million and non-GAAP operating income of $67 million in Q2 2014

 

    Net income of $17 million, earnings per share of $0.02 and non-GAAP net income of $20 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.03, which excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3 million, compared to net loss of $36 million, loss per share of $0.05 and non-GAAP net income of $17 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.02 in Q2 2014

Q3 2014 Commentary

Revenue was $1.43 billion, flat sequentially, and included $27 million related to technology licensing. Computing and Graphics segment revenue was down 6% from Q2 2014, primarily due to lower chipset and GPU sales. Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment revenue was up 6% sequentially, primarily due to higher semi-custom SoC sales.

Gross margin was 35% in Q3 2014, flat sequentially, and included a $27 million, or 2% benefit, from revenue related to technology licensing.

Operating expenses were $431 million.

 

    R&D was $278 million, 19% of revenue.

 

    SG&A was $150 million, 10% of revenue.

Non-GAAP operating expenses were $428 million or 30% of revenue.

To derive non-GAAP operating expenses for Q3 2014, we excluded the impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3 million.

Operating expenses:

Non-GAAP operating income was $66 million.

To derive non-GAAP operating income for Q3 2014, we excluded the impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3 million.

Non-GAAP net income was $20 million.

To derive non-GAAP net income for Q3 2014, we excluded the impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3 million.

Depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $46 million, compared to $49 million in the prior quarter.

Interest expense was $43 million, down $3 million from the prior quarter, largely due to savings realized by the new debt issuance and debt redemption that occurred in the prior quarter.

During the quarter, AMD entered into interest rate swap transactions that effectively converted $250 million of AMD’s fixed rate 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 to a variable interest rate. Based on current interest rates, we anticipate quarterly interest savings from these transactions will be approximately $1 million per quarter beginning Q4 2014. The remaining $350 million portion of AMD’s 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 debt as well as other term debt on the balance sheet has a weighted average fixed interest rate of 7.1%.

Tax provision was $2 million in the quarter, down from $4 million in the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.03, calculated using 785 million diluted shares.

Adjusted EBITDA was $133 million, down $4 million from the prior quarter, and for the trailing four quarters, adjusted EBITDA was $574 million, as compared to $594 million for the trailing four quarters beginning Q2 2014.

Q3 2014 Reportable Segment Changes

Effective July 1, 2014, AMD reorganized into two business groups, one focused on the traditional PC market and the second focused on adjacent high-growth opportunities.

Accordingly, AMD has two reportable segments:

 

    Computing and Graphics, which primarily includes desktop and notebook processors and chipsets, discrete GPUs and professional graphics; and

 

    Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom, which primarily includes server and embedded processors, dense servers, semi-custom SoC products, engineering services and royalties.

Q3 2014 Segment Results

Computing and Graphics segment revenue was $781 million, down 6% sequentially, primarily due to lower chipset and GPU sales.

 

    Notebook processor and chipset sales decreased sequentially and desktop processor sales increased.

 

    Client average selling price (ASP) increased sequentially and year-over-year driven by a richer mix of notebook processor sales.

 

    GPU ASP decreased sequentially due to a decrease in desktop GPU ASP and increased year-over-year.

Computing and Graphics operating loss was $17 million, compared to an operating loss of $6 million in Q2 2014. The sequential decline was driven primarily by lower revenue.

Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment revenue was $648 million, up 6% compared to the prior quarter driven primarily by increased sales of our semi-custom SoCs.

Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom operating income was $108 million, up from operating income of $97 million in the prior quarter primarily due to higher sales of our semi-custom SoCs.

Non-GAAP free cash flow was negative $11 million, with net cash provided by operating activities of $18 million and capital expenditures of $29 million. Capital expenditures increased $6 million from Q2 2014, and free cash flow was up $40 million from Q2 2014.

Restructuring Plan and Transformation Initiatives

As a part of AMD’s ongoing transformation work, the Company has developed a targeted restructuring plan designed to better position the Company for profitability and long-term growth while aligning investments and resources with high-priority opportunities. By taking these actions, AMD expects to compete more effectively and drive enhanced returns for shareholders.

The restructuring plan, which will be largely implemented in Q4 2014, is expected to:

 

    Reduce global headcount by 7%, largely expected to be completed by the end of Q4 2014;

 

    Align AMD’s real estate footprint with its reduced headcount;

 

    Result in a restructuring and impairment charge of approximately $57 million in Q4 2014, primarily related to severance, and a restructuring charge of approximately $13 million in 1H 2015, primarily related to real estate actions;

 

    The Company expects to make cash payments related to these actions of approximately $34 million in Q4 2014 and $20 million in 1H 2015

 

    Realize operational savings, primarily in operating expenses, of approximately $9 million in Q4 2014 and approximately $85 million in 2015.

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 June 28, 2014.

For Q4 2014 we expect:

 

    Revenue to decrease 13% sequentially, +/- 3%.

 

    Gross margin to be approximately 35%.

 

    Non-GAAP operating expenses to be approximately $385 million, below our previous 2014 quarterly operating expense guidance range of approximately $420 million to $450 million as a result of revenue expectations and our restructuring, transformation initiatives, and other cost control measures.

 

AMD Q3-14 CFO Commentary    Page 5    October 16, 2014

    Restructuring and impairment charge of approximately $57 million.

 

    Interest expense, taxes and other to be approximately $46 million.

 

    Inventory to decrease from Q3 2014 levels.

 

    Non-GAAP free cash flow to be positive.

For 2014 we expect:

 

    To grow revenue year-over-year.

 

    Taxes of approximately $3 million per quarter.

 

    To be non-GAAP profitable at the net income level for the year.

 

    Inventory to be down year-over-year.

 

    To maintain cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances close to our optimal balance of $1 billion and above our target minimum of $600 million.

 

    Capital expenditures of approximately $100 million for the year.

 

    Non-GAAP free cash flow to be negative in the range of $200 to $250 million, including the impact of the $200 million special payment to GLOBALFOUNDRIES earlier this year.

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 expense to revenue ratio, non-GAAP operating income, 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, the Company also included the following adjustments for the indicated periods: for the first quarter of 2014, the Company included an adjustment for workforce rebalancing severance charges; for the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company included an adjustment for net legal settlements; and for the third quarter of 2013, the Company included an adjustment for net restructuring and other special charges. 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 less capital expenditures. The Company calculates and communicates non-GAAP free cash flow because the Company’s management believes it is important 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.
