In einer Mitteilung an die US-Börsenaufsicht SEC hat AMD am Montag mitgeteilt, dass man im Zuge von Restrukturierungsmaßnahmen im vierten Quartal 600 Stellen abgebaut hat - 100 mehr als ursprünglich geplant. Außerdem erwartet man für die kommenden Quartale weitere Sonderbelastungen.
Diese entstehen durch Folgekosten im Zusammenhang mit den Entlassungen. Zusätzlich plant man die Schließung von Standorten, was mit weiteren Kosten verbunden ist.
"The Plan primarily involves approximately 600 employees who were notified during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 that their employment with the Company would be terminated, and additional cost reduction actions that either have taken place during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 or will take place in fiscal 2009. As a result of its current analysis, the Company now estimates that the restructuring expense that it will record in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 will be approximately $70 million, based on the restructuring plan approved by the Company on December 19, 2008. Of this amount, approximately $34 million is related to severance and costs related to the continuation of certain employee benefits, approximately $13 million is related to contract or program termination costs, approximately $17 million is related to asset impairments and approximately $6 million is related to exit costs for facility site consolidations and closures. Of the $70 million, approximately $45 million will result in cash expenditures in fiscal 2009. Further cost reduction actions will result in additional charges in the first half of fiscal 2009, which the Company cannot estimate at this time, but which may include severance and costs related to the continuation of certain employee benefits, contract or program termination costs and facility site consolidations or closures"
Im Zusammenhang mit der Übernahme von ATI plant AMD erneute Abschreibungen, die im gerade beendeten vierten Quartal 2008 verbucht werden sollen. Über die Höhe kann man laut Angaben von AMD noch keine Aussage treffen. Die Zahlen des vierten Quartals werden am 22. Januar 2009 bekanntgegeben.
"The Company expects that the impairment charge will be material, but, as of the time of this filing, the Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of amounts of the impairment charge. The Company will disclose such an estimate or range of estimates in a filing with the SEC promptly and in any event within four business days of determining such an estimate or range of estimates. In addition, the Company will also perform an analysis to identify whether there is also potential impairment of any of the remaining identifiable intangible assets acquired in the ATI Acquisition. As of the time of this filing, the Company is unable to make a determination of an estimate of the amount or range of amounts of the impairment charge or whether it will be material. In the event the charge is material, the Company will disclose the amount in a filing with the SEC. "
