― Record quar­ter­ly reve­nue of $5.9 bil­li­on grew 71% year-over-year; Gross mar­gin grew 2 per­cen­ta­ge points and non-GAAP gross mar­gin grew 7 per­cen­ta­ge points year-over-year 

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announ­ced reve­nue for the first quar­ter of 2022 of $5.9 bil­li­on, gross mar­gin of 48%, ope­ra­ting inco­me of $951 mil­li­on, ope­ra­ting mar­gin of 16%, net inco­me of $786 mil­li­on and diluted ear­nings per share of $0.56. On a non-GAAP(*) basis, gross mar­gin was 53%, ope­ra­ting inco­me was $1.8 bil­li­on, net inco­me was $1.6 bil­li­on and diluted ear­nings per share was $1.13. First quar­ter 2022 results include par­ti­al quar­ter finan­cial results from the recent­ly com­ple­ted acqui­si­ti­on of Xilinx which clo­sed Febru­ary 14, 2022.

Exclu­ding Xilinx, AMD had record quar­ter­ly reve­nue of $5.3 bil­li­on, non-GAAP gross mar­gin of 51% and non-GAAP ope­ra­ting mar­gin of 30%. 
“The first quar­ter mark­ed a signi­fi­cant inflec­tion point in our jour­ney to sca­le and trans­form AMD as we deli­ver­ed record reve­nue and clo­sed our stra­te­gic acqui­si­ti­on of Xilinx,” said AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. “Each of our busi­nesses grew by a signi­fi­cant dou­ble digit per­cen­ta­ge year-over-year, led by EPYC ser­ver pro­ces­sor reve­nue more than doubling for the third straight quar­ter. Demand remains strong for our lea­der­ship pro­ducts, with our increased full-year gui­dance reflec­ting hig­her AMD orga­nic growth and the addi­ti­on of the gro­wing Xilinx business.”

Q1 2022 Results

  • Reve­nue of $5.9 bil­li­on was up 71% year-over-year and 22% quar­ter-over-quar­ter dri­ven by hig­her reve­nue in the Com­pu­ting and Gra­phics and Enter­pri­se, Embedded and Semi-Cus­tom seg­ments and the inclu­si­on of Xilinx revenue.
  • Gross mar­gin was 48%, an increase of 2 per­cen­ta­ge points year-over-year and a decrease of 2 per­cen­ta­ge points quar­ter-over-quar­ter. The year-over-year increase was pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by hig­her ser­ver pro­ces­sor reve­nue and high mar­gin Xilinx reve­nue, par­ti­al­ly off­set by amor­tiza­ti­on of intan­gi­ble assets and acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted cos­ts. The quar­ter-over-quar­ter decrease was pri­ma­ri­ly due to amor­tiza­ti­on of intan­gi­ble assets and acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted costs.
  • Non-GAAP gross mar­gin was 53%, an increase of 7 per­cen­ta­ge points year-over-year and 3 per­cen­ta­ge points quar­ter-over-quar­ter. The year-over-year increase was pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by hig­her ser­ver pro­ces­sor reve­nue and high mar­gin Xilinx reve­nue. The quar­ter-over-quar­ter increase was pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by high mar­gin Xilinx reve­nue, hig­her ser­ver pro­ces­sor reve­nue and richer cli­ent pro­duct mix. 
  • Ope­ra­ting inco­me was $951 mil­li­on com­pared to $662 mil­li­on a year ago and $1.2 bil­li­on in the pri­or quar­ter. The year-over-year increase was pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by hig­her reve­nue and gross pro­fit, par­ti­al­ly off­set by amor­tiza­ti­on of intan­gi­ble assets and acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted cos­ts. The quar­ter-over-quar­ter decrease was pri­ma­ri­ly due to amor­tiza­ti­on of intan­gi­ble assets and acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted costs.
  • Record non-GAAP ope­ra­ting inco­me was $1.8 bil­li­on com­pared to $762 mil­li­on a year ago and $1.3 bil­li­on in the pri­or quar­ter. The year-over-year and quar­ter-over-quar­ter increa­ses were pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by hig­her gross profit.
  • Net inco­me was $786 mil­li­on com­pared to $555 mil­li­on a year ago and $974 mil­li­on in the pri­or quar­ter. The year-over-year increase was pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by hig­her ope­ra­ting inco­me. The quar­ter-over-quar­ter decrease was pri­ma­ri­ly due to lower ope­ra­ting inco­me rela­ted to amor­tiza­ti­on of intan­gi­ble assets and acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted costs.
  • Record non-GAAP net inco­me was $1.6 bil­li­on com­pared to $642 mil­li­on a year ago and $1.1 bil­li­on in the pri­or quar­ter. The year-over-year and quar­ter-over-quar­ter increa­ses were pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by hig­her ope­ra­ting income.

Cur­rent Outlook
AMD’s out­look state­ments are based on cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons. The fol­lo­wing state­ments are for­ward-loo­king and actu­al results could dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly depen­ding on mar­ket con­di­ti­ons and the fac­tors set forth under “Cau­tio­na­ry State­ment” below.
For the second quar­ter of 2022, AMD expects reve­nue to be appro­xi­m­ate­ly $6.5 bil­li­on, plus or minus $200 mil­li­on, an increase of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 69% year-over-year and appro­xi­m­ate­ly 10% quar­ter-over-quar­ter. The year-over-year increase is expec­ted to be dri­ven by the addi­ti­on of Xilinx and hig­her ser­ver, semi-cus­tom and cli­ent reve­nue. The quar­ter-over-quar­ter increase is expec­ted to be pri­ma­ri­ly dri­ven by Xilinx and hig­her ser­ver reve­nue. AMD expects non-GAAP gross mar­gin to be appro­xi­m­ate­ly 54% in the second quar­ter of 2022.

For the full year 2022, AMD now expects reve­nue to be appro­xi­m­ate­ly $26.3 bil­li­on, an increase of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 60% over 2021, up from pri­or gui­dance of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 31%, dri­ven by the addi­ti­on of Xilinx and hig­her ser­ver and semi-cus­tom reve­nue. AMD expects non-GAAP gross mar­gin to be appro­xi­m­ate­ly 54% for 2022, up from pri­or gui­dance of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 51%.

(AMD) such as AMD’s expec­ta­ti­ons regar­ding demand for its pro­ducts, AMD orga­nic growth and Xilinx busi­ness growth; the fea­tures, func­tion­a­li­ty, per­for­mance, avai­la­bi­li­ty, timing and expec­ted bene­fits of AMD pro­ducts; AMD’s plan­ned acqui­si­ti­on of Pen­san­do Sys­tems Inc. and the anti­ci­pa­ted bene­fits from the acqui­si­ti­on; AMD’s expec­ted second quar­ter 2022 and fis­cal 2022 finan­cial out­look, inclu­ding reve­nue and non-GAAP gross mar­gin and expec­ted dri­vers based on cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons; and expec­ted growth in 2022, 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,” “may,” “expects,” “belie­ves,” “plans,” “intends,” “pro­jects” and other terms with simi­lar mea­ning. Inves­tors are cau­tio­ned that the for­ward-loo­king state­ments in this press release are based on cur­rent beliefs, assump­ti­ons and expec­ta­ti­ons, speak only as of the date of this press release 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; glo­bal eco­no­mic uncer­tain­ty; loss of a signi­fi­cant cus­to­mer; impact of the COVID-19 pan­de­mic on AMD’s busi­ness, finan­cial con­di­ti­on and results of ope­ra­ti­ons; com­pe­ti­ti­ve mar­kets in which AMD’s pro­ducts are sold; mar­ket con­di­ti­ons of the indus­tries in which AMD pro­ducts are sold; cycli­cal natu­re of the semi­con­duc­tor indus­try; quar­ter­ly and sea­so­nal sales pat­terns; AMD’s abili­ty to ade­qua­te­ly pro­tect its tech­no­lo­gy or other intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty; unfa­vorable cur­ren­cy exch­an­ge rate fluc­tua­tions; abili­ty of third par­ty manu­fac­tu­r­ers to manu­fac­tu­re AMD’s pro­ducts on a time­ly basis in suf­fi­ci­ent quan­ti­ties and using com­pe­ti­ti­ve tech­no­lo­gies; avai­la­bi­li­ty of essen­ti­al equip­ment, mate­ri­als, sub­stra­tes or manu­fac­tu­ring pro­ces­ses; abili­ty to achie­ve expec­ted manu­fac­tu­ring yields for AMD’s pro­ducts; AMD’s abili­ty to intro­du­ce pro­ducts on a time­ly basis with expec­ted fea­tures and per­for­mance levels; AMD’s abili­ty to gene­ra­te reve­nue from its semi-cus­tom SoC pro­ducts; poten­ti­al secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties; poten­ti­al secu­ri­ty inci­dents inclu­ding IT outa­ges, data loss, data brea­ches and cyber-attacks; uncer­tain­ties invol­ving the orde­ring and ship­ment of AMD’s pro­ducts; AMD’s reli­ance on third-par­ty intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty to design and intro­du­ce new pro­ducts in a time­ly man­ner; AMD’s reli­ance on third-par­ty com­pa­nies for design, manu­fac­tu­re and sup­p­ly of mother­boards, soft­ware and other com­pu­ter plat­form com­pon­ents; AMD’s reli­ance on Micro­soft and other soft­ware ven­dors’ sup­port to design and deve­lop soft­ware to run on AMD’s pro­ducts; AMD’s reli­ance on third-par­ty dis­tri­bu­tors and add-in-board part­ners; impact of modi­fi­ca­ti­on or inter­rup­ti­on of AMD’s inter­nal busi­ness pro­ces­ses and infor­ma­ti­on sys­tems; com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty of AMD’s pro­ducts with some or all indus­try-stan­dard soft­ware and hard­ware; cos­ts rela­ted to defec­ti­ve pro­ducts; effi­ci­en­cy of AMD’s sup­p­ly chain; AMD’s abili­ty to rely on third par­ty sup­p­ly-chain logi­stics func­tions; AMD’s abili­ty to effec­tively con­trol sales of its pro­ducts on the gray mar­ket; impact of govern­ment actions and regu­la­ti­ons such as export admi­nis­tra­ti­on regu­la­ti­ons, tariffs and trade pro­tec­tion mea­su­res; AMD’s abili­ty to rea­li­ze its defer­red tax assets; poten­ti­al tax lia­bi­li­ties; cur­rent and future claims and liti­ga­ti­on; impact of envi­ron­men­tal laws, con­flict mine­rals-rela­ted pro­vi­si­ons and other laws or regu­la­ti­ons; impact of acqui­si­ti­ons, joint ven­tures and/or invest­ments on AMD’s busi­ness, and abili­ty of AMD to inte­gra­te acqui­red busi­nesses, such as Xilinx; impact of any impair­ment of the com­bi­ned company’s assets on the com­bi­ned company’s finan­cial posi­ti­on and results of ope­ra­ti­on; rest­ric­tions impo­sed by agree­ments gover­ning AMD’s notes, the gua­ran­tees of Xilinx’s notes and the revol­ving cre­dit faci­li­ty; AMD’s indeb­ted­ness; AMD’s abili­ty to gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent cash to meet its working capi­tal requi­re­ments or gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent reve­nue and ope­ra­ting cash flow to make all of its plan­ned R&D or stra­te­gic invest­ments; poli­ti­cal, legal, eco­no­mic risks and natu­ral dis­as­ters; future impairm­ents of good­will and tech­no­lo­gy licen­se purcha­ses; AMD’s abili­ty to attract and retain qua­li­fied per­son­nel; AMD’s stock pri­ce vola­ti­li­ty; and world­wi­de poli­ti­cal con­di­ti­ons. 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, 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 2022, AMD uses a pro­jec­ted non-GAAP tax rate of 13%, 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. In addi­ti­on, AMD pro­vi­ded non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res exclu­ding Xilinx, inclu­ding reve­nue, gross pro­fit and ope­ra­ting inco­me, and Xilinx pro for­ma reve­nue for the three months ended March 26, 2022 as sup­ple­men­tal infor­ma­ti­on. 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 May 3, 2022 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 in inves­tee, stock-based com­pen­sa­ti­on, depre­cia­ti­on and amor­tiza­ti­on expen­se and acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted cos­ts. The Com­pa­ny also included amor­tiza­ti­on of acqui­red intan­gi­ble assets for the three months ended March 26, 2022. 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 has pro­vi­ded recon­ci­lia­ti­ons within the ear­nings press release of the­se Non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res to the most direct­ly com­pa­ra­ble GAAP finan­cial measures.

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.
