Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking
statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD)
including the features, functionality, availability, timing,
pricing and expected benefits of Radeon™ RX Vega graphics cards,
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 "would,"
“designed,” "intends," "believes," "expects," "may," "will,"
"should," "seeks," "intends," "plans," "pro forma," "estimates,"
"anticipates," or the negative of these words and phrases, other
variations of these words and phrases or comparable terminology.
Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this
document are based on current beliefs, assumptions and
expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations. Such statements are
subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many
of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond AMD's
control, that could cause actual results and other future events to
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected
by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
current expectations include, without limitation, the following:
Intel Corporation’s dominance of the microprocessor market and its
aggressive business practices may limit AMD’s ability to compete
effectively; AMD has a wafer supply agreement with GF with
obligations to purchase all of its microprocessor and APU product
requirements, and a certain portion of its GPU product
requirements, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with limited
exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing
requirements, its business could be adversely impacted; AMD relies
on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they are
unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and
using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could be materially
adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing
yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its financial
results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its
ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and
performance levels that provide value to its customers while
supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if
AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or
obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be
unable to make all of its planned investments in research and
development or other strategic investments; the loss of a
significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD;
AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is
dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party
products and the success of those products; global economic
uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and operating
results; the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly
competitive; AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to
service its debt obligations or meet its working capital
requirements; AMD has a large amount of indebtedness which could
adversely affect its financial position and prevent it from
implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual
obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and the Secured
Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD that may
adversely affect its ability to operate its business; AMD's
issuance to West Coast Hitech L.P. (WCH) of warrants to
purchase 75 million shares of its common stock, if and when
exercised, will dilute the ownership interests of its existing
stockholders, and the conversion of the 2.125% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership interest of its existing
stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of its common
stock; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD’s
products could materially adversely affect it; the demand for AMD’s
products depends in part on the market conditions in the industries
into which they are sold. Fluctuations in demand for AMD’s products
or a market decline in any of these industries could have a
material adverse effect on its results of operations; AMD’s ability
to design and introduce new products in a timely manner is
dependent upon third-party intellectual property; AMD depends on
third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of
motherboards, software and other computer platform components to
support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft Corporation’s support
for its products or other software vendors do not design and
develop software to run on AMD’s products, its ability to sell its
products could be materially adversely affected; and AMD’s reliance
on third-party distributors and AIB partners subjects it to certain
risks. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and
uncertainties in AMD's Securities and Exchange
Commission filings, including but not limited to AMD's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended July 1, 2017.
