Cur­rent Outlook

For the third quar­ter of 2021, AMD expects reve­nue to be appro­xi­m­ate­ly $4.1 bil­li­on, plus or minus $100 mil­li­on, an increase of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 46 per­cent year-over-year and appro­xi­m­ate­ly 6 per­cent quar­ter-over-quar­ter. The year-over-year increase is expec­ted to be dri­ven by growth across all busi­nesses.

AMD expects non-GAAP gross mar­gin to be appro­xi­m­ate­ly 48 per­cent in the third quar­ter of 2021.
For the full year 2021, AMD now expects reve­nue growth of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 60 per­cent, up from pri­or gui­dance of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 50 per­cent, dri­ven by strong growth across all busi­nesses.

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 most recent reports on Forms 10‑K and 10‑Q.

(*)   In this ear­nings press release, in addi­ti­on to GAAP finan­cial results, AMD has pro­vi­ded non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res inclu­ding non-GAAP gross pro­fit, non-GAAP ope­ra­ting expen­ses, non-GAAP ope­ra­ting inco­me, non-GAAP net inco­me and non-GAAP ear­nings per share. AMD uses a nor­ma­li­zed tax rate in its com­pu­ta­ti­on of the non-GAAP inco­me tax pro­vi­si­on to pro­vi­de bet­ter con­sis­ten­cy across the report­ing peri­ods. For fis­cal 2021, AMD uses a pro­jec­ted non-GAAP tax rate of 15%, which excludes the tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjus­t­ments, reflec­ting curr­ent­ly available infor­ma­ti­on. AMD also pro­vi­ded adjus­ted EBITDA and free cash flow as sup­ple­men­tal non-GAAP 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. The non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res dis­c­lo­sed in this ear­nings press release should be view­ed in addi­ti­on to and not as a sub­sti­tu­te for or supe­ri­or to AMD’s repor­ted results pre­pared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in con­junc­tion with AMD’s Con­so­li­da­ted Finan­cial State­ments pre­pared in accordance with GAAP. The­se non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res refe­ren­ced are recon­ci­led to their most direct­ly com­pa­ra­ble GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res in the data tables at the end of this ear­nings press release. This ear­nings press release also con­ta­ins for­ward-loo­king non-GAAP gross mar­gin con­cer­ning AMD’s finan­cial out­look, which is based on cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons as of July 27, 2021, and assump­ti­ons and beliefs that invol­ve num­e­rous risks and uncer­tain­ties. AMD under­ta­kes no intent or obli­ga­ti­on to publicly update or revi­se its out­look state­ments as a result of new infor­ma­ti­on, future events or other­wi­se, except as may be requi­red by law.

*   The Com­pa­ny pres­ents “Adjus­ted EBITDA” as a sup­ple­men­tal mea­su­re of its per­for­mance. Adjus­ted EBITDA for the Com­pa­ny is deter­mi­ned by adjus­ting GAAP net inco­me for inte­rest expen­se, other inco­me (expen­se), net, inco­me tax pro­vi­si­on, equi­ty inco­me on inves­tee, stock-based com­pen­sa­ti­on, and depre­cia­ti­on and amor­tiza­ti­on expen­se. The Com­pa­ny also included acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted cos­ts for the quar­ter ended June 27, 2021 and March 27, 2021. The Com­pa­ny cal­cu­la­tes and pres­ents Adjus­ted EBITDA becau­se 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 inco­me 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 that can affect cash flows.
     
**   The Com­pa­ny also pres­ents free cash flow as a sup­ple­men­tal Non-GAAP mea­su­re of its per­for­mance. Free cash flow is deter­mi­ned by adjus­ting GAAP net cash pro­vi­ded by ope­ra­ting acti­vi­ties for capi­tal expen­dit­ures. The Com­pa­ny cal­cu­la­tes and com­mu­ni­ca­tes free cash flow in the finan­cial ear­nings press release becau­se manage­ment belie­ves it is of importance to inves­tors to under­stand the natu­re of the­se cash flows. The Company’s cal­cu­la­ti­on of 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 free cash flow as an alter­na­ti­ve to GAAP liqui­di­ty mea­su­res of cash flows from ope­ra­ting activities.
