▪Decla­res quar­ter­ly cash divi­dend of $0.365 per share.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 26, 2023 — Intel Cor­po­ra­ti­on today repor­ted fourth-quar­ter and full-year 2022 finan­cial results. The com­pa­ny also announ­ced that its board of direc­tors has declared a quar­ter­ly divi­dend of $0.365 per share on the company’s com­mon stock, which will be paya­ble on March 1, 2023, to share­hol­ders of record as of Febru­ary 7, 2023.

Despi­te the eco­no­mic and mar­ket head­winds, we con­tin­ued to make good pro­gress on our stra­te­gic trans­for­ma­ti­on in Q4, inclu­ding advan­cing our pro­duct road­map and impro­ving our ope­ra­tio­nal struc­tu­re and pro­ces­ses to dri­ve effi­ci­en­ci­es while deli­ve­ring at the low-end of our gui­ded ran­ge,” said Pat Gel­sin­ger, Intel CEO. “In 2023, we will con­ti­nue to navi­ga­te the short-term chal­lenges while stri­ving to meet our long-term com­mit­ments, inclu­ding deli­ve­ring lea­der­ship pro­ducts ancho­red on open and secu­re plat­forms, powered by at-sca­le manu­fac­tu­ring and super­char­ged by our incre­di­ble team.” 

In the fourth quar­ter, we took steps to right-size the orga­niza­ti­on and ratio­na­li­ze our invest­ments, prio­ri­tiz­ing the are­as whe­re we can deli­ver the hig­hest value for the long term,” said David Zins­ner, Intel CFO. “The­se actions under­pin our cost-reduc­tion tar­gets of $3 bil­li­on in 2023, and set the stage to achie­ve $8 bil­li­on to $10 bil­li­on by the end of 2025.”

Busi­ness Unit Summary

Intel pre­vious­ly announ­ced seve­ral orga­niza­tio­nal chan­ges to acce­le­ra­te its exe­cu­ti­on and inno­va­ti­on by allo­wing it to cap­tu­re growth in both lar­ge tra­di­tio­nal mar­kets and high-growth emer­ging mar­kets. This includes the reor­ga­niza­ti­on of Intel’s busi­ness units to cap­tu­re this growth and pro­vi­de increased trans­pa­ren­cy, focus and accoun­ta­bi­li­ty. As a result, the com­pa­ny modi­fied its seg­ment report­ing in the first quar­ter of 2022 to ali­gn to the pre­vious­ly announ­ced busi­ness reor­ga­niza­ti­on. All pri­or-peri­od seg­ment data has been retro­s­pec­tively adjus­ted to reflect the way the com­pa­ny intern­al­ly mana­ges and moni­tors ope­ra­ting seg­ment per­for­mance start­ing in fis­cal year 2022.

Busi­ness Highlights

 

▪       Intel con­ti­nues to make pro­gress with its goal of achie­ving five nodes in four years and is on track to regain tran­sis­tor per­for­mance and power per­for­mance lea­der­ship by 2025. Intel 7 is now in high-volu­me manu­fac­tu­ring for both cli­ent and ser­ver. Intel 4 is manu­fac­tu­ring-rea­dy, with the Mete­or Lake ramp expec­ted in the second half of 2023. Intel 3 con­ti­nues to pro­gress and is on track. On Intel 20A and Intel 18A, Intel’s first inter­nal test chips, and tho­se of a major poten­ti­al foundry cus­to­mer, have taped out with pro­ducts under­go­ing fabrication.

▪       In the fourth quar­ter of 2022, CCG’s 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desk­top pro­ces­sor fami­ly beca­me available, start­ing with desk­top “K” pro­ces­sors and the Intel® Z790 chip­set. Addi­tio­nal­ly, in Decem­ber 2022, in part­ner­ship with ASUS, Intel offi­ci­al­ly set a new world record for over­clo­cking, pushing the 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K past the 9 giga­hertz bar­ri­er for the first time ever.

▪       In Janu­ary 2023, DCAI laun­ched its 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Sca­lable pro­ces­sors (form­er­ly code-named Sap­phi­re Rapids) with the sup­port of cus­to­mers and part­ners such as Dell Tech­no­lo­gies, Goog­le Cloud, Hew­lett Packard Enter­pri­se, Leno­vo, Micro­soft Azu­re, NVIDIA and many others, and is ram­ping pro­duc­tion to meet a strong back­log of demand.

▪       NEX achie­ved a second con­se­cu­ti­ve year of dou­ble-digit reve­nue growth, hit­ting key pro­duct mile­sto­nes with Intel® IPU E2000 (Mount Evans), Rap­tor Lake P&S, Alder Lake N and Sap­phi­re Rapids.

▪       AXG deli­ver­ed record reve­nue for both the fourth quar­ter and full year. In Janu­ary 2023, AXG laun­ched the Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series (form­er­ly code-named Sap­phi­re Rapids HBM) and the Intel® Data Cen­ter GPU Max Series (form­er­ly code-named Pon­te Vec­chio). Intel also announ­ced that with AXG’s flag­ship pro­ducts now in pro­duc­tion, the com­pa­ny is evol­ving AXG’s struc­tu­re to acce­le­ra­te and sca­le its impact and dri­ve go-to-mar­ket stra­te­gies with a uni­fied voice to cus­to­mers. Accor­din­gly, the con­su­mer gra­phics teams will join CCG, and the acce­le­ra­ted com­pu­ting teams will join DCAI

▪       IFS achie­ved record reve­nue for both the fourth quar­ter and full year, with acti­ve design enga­ge­ments with seven of the 10 lar­gest foundry cus­to­mers. It also added a lea­ding cloud, edge and data cen­ter solu­ti­ons pro­vi­der as a cus­to­mer to Intel 3.

▪       Intel com­ple­ted the IPO of Mobi­leye, which achie­ved record reve­nue for both the fourth quar­ter and full year of 2022. Mobi­leye con­tin­ued to exe­cu­te well in its core advan­ced dri­ver-assis­tance sys­tems (ADAS) busi­ness, as it laun­ched sys­tems into 233 distinct vehic­le models in 2022.

 

Busi­ness Outlook

Intel’s gui­dance for the first quar­ter of 2023 includes both GAAP and non-GAAP esti­ma­tes. Recon­ci­lia­ti­ons bet­ween GAAP and non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res are included below.*

Q1 2023   GAAP*   Non-GAAP*
    Appro­xi­m­ate­ly   Appro­xi­m­ate­ly
Reve­nue   $10.5–11.5 bil­li­on   $10.5–11.5 bil­li­on^
Gross mar­gin   34.1%   39.0%
Tax rate   (84)%   13%
Ear­nings (loss) per share   $(0.80)   $(0.15)

 

Actu­al results may dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from Intel’s Busi­ness Out­look as a result of, among other things, the fac­tors descri­bed under “For­ward-Loo­king State­ments” below.

*Effec­ti­ve Janu­ary 2023, Intel increased the esti­ma­ted useful life of cer­tain pro­duc­tion machi­nery and equip­ment from five years to eight years. When com­pared to the esti­ma­ted useful life in place as of the end of 2022, Intel expects total depre­cia­ti­on expen­se in 2023 to redu­ce by rough­ly $4.2 bil­li­on, inclu­ding an appro­xi­ma­te $2.6 bil­li­on increase to gross pro­fit, a $400 mil­li­on decrease in R&D expen­ses and a $1.2 bil­li­on decrease in 2023 ending inven­to­ry values. Intel’s Q1 2023 out­look includes an esti­ma­ted $350 mil­li­on to $500 mil­li­on bene­fit to ope­ra­ting mar­gin or $0.07 to $0.10 bene­fit to EPS from this chan­ge, split appro­xi­m­ate­ly 75% to cost of sales and 25% to ope­ra­ting expen­ses. The chan­ge in depre­cia­ble life will not be coun­ted toward the $3 bil­li­on in cost savings in 2023 or the $8 bil­li­on to $10 bil­li­on exi­ting 2025 com­mu­ni­ca­ted at Q3 2022 earnings.

All for­ward-loo­king state­ments included in this release are based on management’s expec­ta­ti­ons as of the date of this release and, except as requi­red by law, Intel dis­claims any obli­ga­ti­on to update the­se for­ward-loo­king state­ments to reflect future events or cir­cum­s­tances. Unless spe­ci­fi­cal­ly indi­ca­ted other­wi­se, the for­ward-loo­king state­ments in this release do not reflect the poten­ti­al impact of any dives­ti­tures, mer­gers, acqui­si­ti­ons, or other busi­ness com­bi­na­ti­ons that have not been com­ple­ted as of the date of this release. For­ward-loo­king state­ments invol­ve many risks and uncer­tain­ties that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from tho­se expres­sed or impli­ed in such state­ments. Intel pre­sent­ly con­siders the fol­lo­wing to be among the important fac­tors that can cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from the company’s expectations.

▪       Demand for Intel’s pro­ducts is high­ly varia­ble and can dif­fer from expec­ta­ti­ons due to fac­tors inclu­ding chan­ges in busi­ness and eco­no­mic con­di­ti­ons; cus­to­mer con­fi­dence or inco­me levels, and the levels of cus­to­mer capi­tal spen­ding; the intro­duc­tion, avai­la­bi­li­ty, and mar­ket accep­tance of Intel’s pro­ducts, pro­ducts used tog­e­ther with Intel pro­ducts, and com­pe­ti­tors’ pro­ducts; com­pe­ti­ti­ve and pri­cing pres­su­res, inclu­ding actions taken by com­pe­ti­tors; sup­p­ly cons­traints and other dis­rup­ti­ons affec­ting cus­to­mers; chan­ges in cus­to­mer order pat­terns or fore­casts inclu­ding order can­cel­la­ti­ons; chan­ges in cus­to­mer needs and emer­ging tech­no­lo­gy trends; and chan­ges in the level of inven­to­ry and com­pu­ting capa­ci­ty at customers.

▪       Intel’s results can vary signi­fi­cant­ly from expec­ta­ti­ons based on capa­ci­ty uti­liza­ti­on; varia­ti­ons in inven­to­ry valua­ti­on, inclu­ding varia­ti­ons rela­ted to the timing of qua­li­fy­ing pro­ducts for sale; chan­ges in reve­nue levels; seg­ment pro­duct mix; the timing and exe­cu­ti­on of the manu­fac­tu­ring ramp and asso­cia­ted cos­ts; excess or obso­le­te inven­to­ry; chan­ges in unit cos­ts; defects or dis­rup­ti­ons in the sup­p­ly of mate­ri­als or resour­ces, inclu­ding as a result of ongo­ing indus­try shorta­ges of com­pon­ents and sub­stra­tes; sup­pli­ers exten­ding lead times, expe­ri­en­cing capa­ci­ty cons­traints, limi­ting or can­ce­ling sup­p­ly, allo­ca­ting sup­p­ly to other cus­to­mers inclu­ding com­pe­ti­tors, delay­ing or can­ce­ling deli­veries or incre­asing pri­ces, or other sup­p­ly chain issues; pro­duct manu­fac­tu­ring quality/yields; and chan­ges in capi­tal requi­re­ments and invest­ment plans. Varia­ti­ons in results can also be cau­sed by the timing of Intel pro­duct intro­duc­tions and rela­ted expen­ses, inclu­ding mar­ke­ting pro­grams and Intel’s abili­ty to respond quick­ly to tech­no­lo­gi­cal deve­lo­p­ments and to intro­du­ce new pro­ducts or incor­po­ra­te new fea­tures into exis­ting pro­ducts, as well as decis­i­ons to exit pro­duct lines or busi­nesses, which have resul­ted and can result in res­truc­tu­ring and asset impair­ment charges.

▪       Intel’s results may be affec­ted by fac­tors that could cau­se the imple­men­ta­ti­on of, and expec­ted results from, our res­truc­tu­ring or cost-savings initia­ti­ves to dif­fer from Intel’s expec­ta­ti­ons. The expec­ted cost savings resul­ting from the­se initia­ti­ves may not be rea­li­zed and are sub­ject to risks rela­ted to the timing and amount of rela­ted char­ges, local labor law requi­re­ments, and assump­ti­ons rela­ted to sever­ance, post-reti­re­ment, and other cos­ts. In addi­ti­on, signi­fi­cant or pro­lon­ged tur­no­ver may nega­tively impact our ope­ra­ti­ons and cul­tu­re, as well as our abili­ty to suc­cessful­ly main­tain our pro­ces­ses and pro­ce­du­res, inclu­ding due to the loss of his­to­ri­cal, tech­ni­cal, and other expertise.

▪       Intel’s results can be affec­ted by adver­se eco­no­mic, social, poli­ti­cal, regu­la­to­ry, and physical/infrastructure con­di­ti­ons in count­ries whe­re Intel, its cus­to­mers, or its sup­pli­ers ope­ra­te, inclu­ding reces­si­on or slo­wing growth, mili­ta­ry con­flict and other secu­ri­ty risks, natu­ral dis­as­ters, infra­struc­tu­re dis­rup­ti­ons, health con­cerns (inclu­ding the COVID-19 pan­de­mic), fluc­tua­tions in cur­ren­cy exch­an­ge rates, infla­ti­on, inte­rest rate risks, sanc­tions and tariffs, poli­ti­cal dis­pu­tes, chan­ges in govern­ment grants and incen­ti­ves, and con­ti­nuing uncer­tain­ty regar­ding social, poli­ti­cal, immi­gra­ti­on, and tax and trade poli­ci­es in the US and abroad. Results can also be affec­ted by the for­mal or infor­mal impo­si­ti­on by count­ries of new or revi­sed export and/or import and doing-busi­ness regu­la­ti­ons, inclu­ding chan­ges or uncer­tain­ty rela­ted to the US govern­ment enti­ty list and chan­ges in the abili­ty to obtain export licen­ses, which can be chan­ged wit­hout pri­or noti­ce. For exam­p­le, in respon­se to Russia’s war with Ukrai­ne, num­e­rous count­ries and orga­niza­ti­ons have impo­sed finan­cial and other sanc­tions and export con­trols against Rus­sia and Bela­rus, while busi­nesses, inclu­ding the com­pa­ny, have limi­t­ed or sus­pen­ded Rus­si­an ope­ra­ti­ons. Rus­sia has like­wi­se impo­sed cur­ren­cy rest­ric­tions and regu­la­ti­ons and may fur­ther take reta­li­a­to­ry trade or other actions, inclu­ding the natio­na­liza­ti­on of for­eign businesses.

▪       The COVID-19 pan­de­mic has pre­vious­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted signi­fi­cant por­ti­ons of Intel’s busi­ness and could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on Intel’s finan­cial con­di­ti­on and results of ope­ra­ti­ons. The pan­de­mic has resul­ted in aut­ho­ri­ties impo­sing num­e­rous mea­su­res to try to con­tain the virus, inclu­ding manu­fac­tu­ring, trans­por­ta­ti­on, and ope­ra­tio­nal rest­ric­tions or dis­rup­ti­ons, such as the Shang­hai port shut­downs. The­se mea­su­res have impac­ted and may fur­ther impact our work­force and ope­ra­ti­ons, the ope­ra­ti­ons of our cus­to­mers, and tho­se of our respec­ti­ve ven­dors, sup­pli­ers, and part­ners. Rest­ric­tions on our manu­fac­tu­ring or sup­port ope­ra­ti­ons or work­force, or simi­lar limi­ta­ti­ons for our ven­dors and sup­pli­ers, can impact our abili­ty to meet cus­to­mer demand and could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on us. Rest­ric­tions or dis­rup­ti­ons of trans­por­ta­ti­on, or dis­rup­ti­ons in our cus­to­mers’ ope­ra­ti­ons and sup­p­ly chains, may adver­se­ly affect our results of ope­ra­ti­ons. The pan­de­mic has cau­sed us to modi­fy our busi­ness prac­ti­ces. The­re is no cer­tain­ty that such mea­su­res will be suf­fi­ci­ent to miti­ga­te the risks posed by the virus, and ill­ness and work­force dis­rup­ti­ons could lead to unavai­la­bi­li­ty of our key per­son­nel and harm our abili­ty to per­form cri­ti­cal func­tions. The pan­de­mic has also pre­vious­ly resul­ted in sub­stan­ti­al eco­no­mic uncer­tain­ty and vola­ti­li­ty and dis­rupt­ed his­to­ri­cal pat­terns rela­ted to demand for our pro­ducts and ser­vices. Demand for our pro­ducts has been and could again be mate­ri­al­ly har­med in the future, and our abili­ty to accu­ra­te­ly pre­dict future demand, trends, or other mat­ters may be impac­ted. The degree to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future deve­lo­p­ments, which are high­ly uncer­tain. The impact of the pan­de­mic can also exa­cer­ba­te other risks dis­cus­sed in this section.

▪       Intel ope­ra­tes in high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve indus­tries and its ope­ra­ti­ons have high cos­ts that are eit­her fixed or dif­fi­cult to redu­ce in the short term. In addi­ti­on, we have ente­red new are­as and intro­du­ced adja­cent pro­ducts, such as our inten­ti­on to beco­me a major pro­vi­der of foundry ser­vices, and we face new sources of com­pe­ti­ti­on and uncer­tain mar­ket demand or accep­tance of our offe­rings with respect to the­se new are­as and pro­ducts, and they do not always grow as projected.

▪       Intel’s expec­ted tax rate is based on cur­rent tax law, inclu­ding cur­rent inter­pre­ta­ti­ons of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), and cur­rent expec­ted inco­me and can be affec­ted by chan­ges in inter­pre­ta­ti­ons of TCJA and other laws, such as the Infla­ti­on Reduc­tion Act of 2022; chan­ges in the volu­me and mix of pro­fits ear­ned and loca­ti­on of assets across juris­dic­tions with vary­ing tax rates; chan­ges in the esti­ma­tes of cre­dits, bene­fits, and deduc­tions; the reso­lu­ti­on of issues ari­sing from tax audits with various tax aut­ho­ri­ties, inclu­ding pay­ment of inte­rest and pen­al­ties; and the abili­ty to rea­li­ze defer­red tax assets.

▪       Intel’s results can be affec­ted by gains or los­ses from equi­ty secu­ri­ties and inte­rest and other, which can vary depen­ding on gains or los­ses on the chan­ge in fair value, sale, exch­an­ge, or impairm­ents of equi­ty and debt invest­ments, inte­rest rates, cash balan­ces, and chan­ges in fair value of deri­va­ti­ve instruments. 

▪       Pro­duct defects or erra­ta (devia­ti­ons from published spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons) can adver­se­ly impact our expen­ses, reve­nues, and reputation.

▪       We or third par­ties regu­lar­ly iden­ti­fy secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties with respect to our pro­ces­sors and other pro­ducts as well as the ope­ra­ting sys­tems and workloads run­ning on them. Secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties and any limi­ta­ti­ons of, or adver­se effects resul­ting from, miti­ga­ti­on tech­ni­ques can adver­se­ly affect our results of ope­ra­ti­ons, finan­cial con­di­ti­on, cus­to­mer rela­ti­onships, pro­s­pects, and repu­ta­ti­on in a num­ber of ways, any of which may be mate­ri­al, inclu­ding incur­ring signi­fi­cant cos­ts rela­ted to deve­lo­ping and deploy­ing updates and miti­ga­ti­ons, wri­ting down inven­to­ry value, a reduc­tion in the com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness of our pro­ducts, defen­ding against pro­duct claims and liti­ga­ti­on, respon­ding to regu­la­to­ry inqui­ries or actions, pay­ing dama­ges, addres­sing cus­to­mer satis­fac­tion con­side­ra­ti­ons, or taking other reme­di­al steps with respect to third par­ties. Adver­se publi­ci­ty about secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties or miti­ga­ti­ons could dama­ge our repu­ta­ti­on with cus­to­mers or users and redu­ce demand for our pro­ducts and services.

▪       Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty inci­dents, whe­ther or not suc­cessful, can affect Intel’s results by caus­ing us to incur signi­fi­cant cos­ts or dis­rupt­ing our ope­ra­ti­ons or tho­se of our cus­to­mers and sup­pli­ers, and can result in repu­ta­tio­nal harm.

▪       Intel’s results can be affec­ted by liti­ga­ti­on or regu­la­to­ry mat­ters invol­ving intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty, stock­hol­der, con­su­mer, che­mi­cals, anti­trust, com­mer­cial, dis­clo­sure, and other issues, as well as by the impact and timing of sett­le­ments and dis­pu­te reso­lu­ti­ons. For exam­p­le, in the first quar­ter of 2022, the Gene­ral Court in the Euro­pean Com­mis­si­on (EC) com­pe­ti­ti­on mat­ter annul­led the EC’s fin­dings against Intel regar­ding reba­tes, as well as the fine pre­vious­ly impo­sed on and paid by Intel. $1.2 bil­li­on was retur­ned to Intel in Febru­ary 2022, and the EC has appea­led this decis­i­on to the Court of Justice.

▪       Intel’s results can be affec­ted by the impact and timing of clo­sing of acqui­si­ti­ons, dives­ti­tures, and other signi­fi­cant tran­sac­tions, such as the pen­ding acqui­si­ti­on of Tower Semi­con­duc­tor Inc. In addi­ti­on, the­se tran­sac­tions do not always achie­ve our finan­cial or stra­te­gic objec­ti­ves and can dis­rupt our ongo­ing busi­ness and adver­se­ly impact our results of ope­ra­ti­ons. We may not rea­li­ze the expec­ted bene­fits of port­fo­lio decis­i­ons due to num­e­rous risks, inclu­ding unfa­vorable pri­ces and terms; chan­ges in mar­ket con­di­ti­ons; chan­ges in appli­ca­ble laws; limi­ta­ti­ons due to regu­la­to­ry or govern­men­tal appr­ovals, con­trac­tu­al terms, or other con­di­ti­ons; and poten­ti­al con­tin­ued finan­cial obli­ga­ti­ons asso­cia­ted with such transactions.

 

Detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on regar­ding the­se and other fac­tors that could affect Intel’s busi­ness and results is included in Intel’s SEC filings, inclu­ding the company’s most recent reports on Forms 10‑K and 10‑Q, par­ti­cu­lar­ly the “Risk Fac­tors” sec­tions of tho­se reports. Copies of the­se filings may be obtai­ned by visi­ting our Inves­tor Rela­ti­ons web­site at www.intc.com or the SEC’s web­site at www.sec.gov.

We deri­ve a sub­stan­ti­al majo­ri­ty of our reve­nue from our prin­ci­pal pro­ducts that incor­po­ra­te various com­pon­ents and tech­no­lo­gies, inclu­ding a micro­pro­ces­sor and chip­set, a stand-alo­ne sys­tem-on-chip or a mul­ti­chip packa­ge, which are based on Intel architecture.

Reve­nue for our repor­ta­ble and non-repor­ta­ble ope­ra­ting seg­ments is pri­ma­ri­ly rela­ted to the fol­lo­wing pro­duct lines:

▪       CCG includes pro­ducts desi­gned for end-user form fac­tors, focu­sing on hig­her growth seg­ments of 2 in 1, thin-and-light, com­mer­cial and gam­ing, and gro­wing other pro­ducts such as con­nec­ti­vi­ty and graphics.

▪       DCAI includes a broad port­fo­lio of cen­tral pro­ces­sing units (CPUs), domain-spe­ci­fic acce­le­ra­tors and field pro­gramma­ble gate arrays (FPGAs), desi­gned to empower data cen­ter and hypers­ca­le solu­ti­ons for diver­se com­pu­ting needs.

▪       NEX includes pro­gramma­ble plat­forms and high-per­for­mance con­nec­ti­vi­ty and com­pu­te solu­ti­ons desi­gned for mar­ket seg­ments such as cloud net­wor­king, tele­com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons net­works, on-pre­mi­ses edge, soft­ware and platforms. 

▪       Mobi­leye includes the deve­lo­p­ment and deploy­ment of advan­ced dri­ver-assis­tance sys­tems (ADAS) and auto­no­mous dri­ving tech­no­lo­gies and solutions.

▪       AXG includes CPUs for high per­for­mance com­pu­ting (HPC) and gra­phic pro­cess units (GPUs) tar­ge­ted for a ran­ge of workloads and plat­forms from gam­ing and con­tent crea­ti­on to HPC and arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence (AI) in the data center.

▪       IFS pro­vi­des dif­fe­ren­tia­ted full stack solu­ti­ons inclu­ding wafer fabri­ca­ti­on, pack­a­ging, chip­let stan­dard and software.

We have sales and mar­ke­ting, manu­fac­tu­ring, engi­nee­ring, finan­ce and admi­nis­tra­ti­on groups. Expen­ses for the­se groups are gene­ral­ly allo­ca­ted to the ope­ra­ting segments.

We have an “all other” cate­go­ry that includes reve­nue, expen­ses and char­ges such as:

▪       his­to­ri­cal results of ope­ra­ti­ons from dive­s­ted businesses;

▪       results of ope­ra­ti­ons of start-up busi­nesses that sup­port our initiatives;

▪       amounts included within res­truc­tu­ring and other charges;

▪       employee bene­fits, com­pen­sa­ti­on, impair­ment char­ges and other expen­ses not allo­ca­ted to the ope­ra­ting seg­ments (begin­ning the first quar­ter of 2022, this includes all of our stock-based com­pen­sa­ti­on); and

▪       acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted cos­ts, inclu­ding amor­tiza­ti­on and any impair­ment of acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted intan­gi­bles and goodwill.

Expl­ana­ti­on of Non-GAAP Measures

In addi­ti­on to dis­clo­sing finan­cial results in accordance with US GAAP, this docu­ment con­ta­ins refe­ren­ces to the non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res below. We belie­ve the­se non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res pro­vi­de inves­tors with useful sup­ple­men­tal infor­ma­ti­on about our ope­ra­ting per­for­mance, enable com­pa­ri­son of finan­cial trends and results bet­ween peri­ods whe­re cer­tain items may vary inde­pen­dent of busi­ness per­for­mance, and allow for grea­ter trans­pa­ren­cy with respect to key metrics used by manage­ment in ope­ra­ting our busi­ness and mea­su­ring our per­for­mance. The­se non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res are used in our per­for­mance-based RSUs and our cash bonus plans.

Start­ing in the first quar­ter of 2022, we incre­men­tal­ly exclude from our non-GAAP results share-based com­pen­sa­ti­on and all gains and los­ses on equi­ty invest­ments. The adjus­t­ment for all gains and los­ses on equi­ty invest­ments includes the ongo­ing mark-to-mar­ket adjus­t­ments pre­vious­ly excluded from our non-GAAP results.

Our non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res reflect adjus­t­ments based on one or more of the fol­lo­wing items, as well as the rela­ted inco­me tax effects whe­re appli­ca­ble. Inco­me tax effects have been cal­cu­la­ted using an appro­pria­te tax rate for each adjus­t­ment, as appli­ca­ble. The­se non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res should not be con­side­red a sub­sti­tu­te for, or supe­ri­or to, finan­cial mea­su­res cal­cu­la­ted in accordance with US GAAP, and the finan­cial results cal­cu­la­ted in accordance with US GAAP and recon­ci­lia­ti­ons from the­se results should be careful­ly evaluated.

Non-GAAP adjus­t­ment or measure Defi­ni­ti­on Useful­ness to manage­ment and investors
NAND memo­ry business We com­ple­ted the first clo­sing of the dives­ti­tu­re of our NAND memo­ry busi­ness to SK hynix on Decem­ber 29, 2021 and ful­ly decon­so­li­da­ted our ongo­ing inte­rests in the NAND OpCo Busi­ness in the first quar­ter of 2022. We exclude the impact of our NAND memo­ry busi­ness in cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res. While the second clo­sing of the sale is still pen­ding and sub­ject to clo­sing con­di­ti­ons, we decon­so­li­da­ted this busi­ness in Q1 2022 and manage­ment does not view the his­to­ri­cal results of the busi­ness as a part of our core ope­ra­ti­ons. We belie­ve the­se adjus­t­ments pro­vi­de inves­tors with a useful view, through the eyes of manage­ment, of our core busi­ness model and how manage­ment curr­ent­ly eva­lua­tes core ope­ra­tio­nal per­for­mance. In making the­se adjus­t­ments, we have not made any chan­ges to our methods for mea­su­ring and cal­cu­la­ting reve­nue or other finan­cial state­ment amounts.
Acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted adjustments Amor­tiza­ti­on of acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted intan­gi­ble assets con­sists of amor­tiza­ti­on of intan­gi­ble assets such as deve­lo­ped tech­no­lo­gy, brands, and cus­to­mer rela­ti­onships acqui­red in con­nec­tion with busi­ness com­bi­na­ti­ons. Char­ges rela­ted to the amor­tiza­ti­on of the­se intan­gi­bles are recor­ded within both cost of sales and MG&A in our US GAAP finan­cial state­ments. Amor­tiza­ti­on char­ges are recor­ded over the esti­ma­ted useful life of the rela­ted acqui­red intan­gi­ble asset, and thus are gene­ral­ly recor­ded over mul­ti­ple years. We exclude amor­tiza­ti­on char­ges for our acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted intan­gi­ble assets for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res becau­se the­se char­ges are incon­sis­tent in size and are signi­fi­cant­ly impac­ted by the timing and valua­ti­on of our acqui­si­ti­ons. The­se adjus­t­ments faci­li­ta­te a useful eva­lua­ti­on of our cur­rent ope­ra­ting per­for­mance and com­pa­ri­son to our past ope­ra­ting per­for­mance and pro­vi­de inves­tors with addi­tio­nal means to eva­lua­te cost and expen­se trends.
Share-based com­pen­sa­ti­on Share-based com­pen­sa­ti­on con­sists of char­ges rela­ted to our employee equi­ty incen­ti­ve plans. We exclude char­ges rela­ted to share-based com­pen­sa­ti­on for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res becau­se we belie­ve the­se adjus­t­ments pro­vi­de bet­ter com­pa­ra­bi­li­ty to peer com­pa­ny results and becau­se the­se char­ges are not view­ed by manage­ment as part of our core ope­ra­ting per­for­mance. We belie­ve the­se adjus­t­ments pro­vi­de inves­tors with a useful view, through the eyes of manage­ment, of our core busi­ness model, how manage­ment curr­ent­ly eva­lua­tes core ope­ra­tio­nal per­for­mance, and addi­tio­nal means to eva­lua­te expen­se trends, inclu­ding in com­pa­ri­son to other peer companies.
Patent sett­le­ment A por­ti­on of the char­ge from our IP sett­le­ments repres­ents a catch-up of cumu­la­ti­ve amor­tiza­ti­on that would have been incur­red for the right to use the rela­ted patents in pri­or peri­ods. This char­ge rela­ted to pri­or peri­ods is excluded from our non-GAAP results; amor­tiza­ti­on rela­ted to the right to use the patents in the cur­rent and ongo­ing peri­ods is included.  We exclude the catch-up char­ge rela­ted to pri­or peri­ods for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res becau­se this adjus­t­ment faci­li­ta­tes com­pa­ri­son to past ope­ra­ting results and pro­vi­des a useful eva­lua­ti­on of our cur­rent ope­ra­ting performance.
Opta­ne inven­to­ry impairment Begin­ning in 2022, we initia­ted the wind-down of our Intel Opta­ne memo­ry business. We exclude the­se impairm­ents for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res becau­se the­se char­ges do not reflect our cur­rent ope­ra­ting per­for­mance. This adjus­t­ment faci­li­ta­tes a useful eva­lua­ti­on of our cur­rent ope­ra­ting per­for­mance and com­pa­ri­sons to past ope­ra­ting results.
Res­truc­tu­ring and other charges Res­truc­tu­ring char­ges are cos­ts asso­cia­ted with a for­mal res­truc­tu­ring plan and are pri­ma­ri­ly rela­ted to employee sever­ance and bene­fit arran­ge­ments. Other char­ges include a bene­fit in Q1 2022 rela­ted to the annul­led EC fine, a char­ge in Q1 2021 rela­ted to the VLSI liti­ga­ti­on, peri­odic good­will and asset impairm­ents, cer­tain pen­si­on char­ges, and cos­ts asso­cia­ted with res­truc­tu­ring activity. We exclude res­truc­tu­ring and other char­ges, inclu­ding any adjus­t­ments to char­ges recor­ded in pri­or peri­ods, for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res becau­se the­se cos­ts do not reflect our core ope­ra­ting per­for­mance. The­se adjus­t­ments faci­li­ta­te a useful eva­lua­ti­on of our core ope­ra­ting per­for­mance and com­pa­ri­sons to past ope­ra­ting results and pro­vi­de inves­tors with addi­tio­nal means to eva­lua­te expen­se trends.
(Gains) los­ses on equi­ty invest­ments, net (Gains) los­ses on equi­ty invest­ments, net con­sists of ongo­ing mark-to-mar­ket adjus­t­ments on mar­ke­ta­ble equi­ty secu­ri­ties, obser­va­ble pri­ce adjus­t­ments on non-mar­ke­ta­ble equi­ty secu­ri­ties, rela­ted impair­ment char­ges, and the sale of equi­ty invest­ments and other. We exclude the­se non-ope­ra­ting gains and los­ses for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res becau­se it pro­vi­des bet­ter com­pa­ra­bi­li­ty bet­ween peri­ods. The exclu­si­on reflects how manage­ment eva­lua­tes the core ope­ra­ti­ons of the business.
Gains (los­ses) from divestiture Gains (los­ses) are reco­gni­zed at the clo­se of a dives­ti­tu­re, or over a spe­ci­fied defer­ral peri­od when defer­red con­side­ra­ti­on is recei­ved at the time of clo­sing. Based on our ongo­ing obli­ga­ti­on under the NAND wafer manu­fac­tu­ring and sale agree­ment ente­red into in con­nec­tion with the first clo­sing of the sale of our NAND memo­ry busi­ness on Decem­ber 29, 2021, a por­ti­on of the initi­al clo­sing con­side­ra­ti­on was defer­red and will be reco­gni­zed bet­ween first and second closing. We exclude gains or los­ses resul­ting from dives­ti­tures for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res becau­se they do not reflect our cur­rent ope­ra­ting per­for­mance. The­se adjus­t­ments faci­li­ta­te a useful eva­lua­ti­on of our cur­rent ope­ra­ting per­for­mance and com­pa­ri­sons to past ope­ra­ting results.
Tax Reform Adjus­t­ments for Tax Reform reflect the impact of a chan­ge in tax law from 2017 Tax Reform rela­ted to the capi­ta­liza­ti­on of R&D costs. We exclude the impacts of this 2022 chan­ge in US tax tre­at­ment of R&D cos­ts for pur­po­ses of cal­cu­la­ting cer­tain non-GAAP mea­su­res as we belie­ve the­se adjus­t­ments faci­li­ta­te a bet­ter eva­lua­ti­on of our cur­rent ope­ra­ting per­for­mance and com­pa­ri­son to past ope­ra­ting results.
Adjus­ted free cash flow We refe­rence a non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­re of adjus­ted free cash flow, which is used by manage­ment when asses­sing our sources of liqui­di­ty, capi­tal resour­ces, and qua­li­ty of ear­nings. Adjus­ted free cash flow is ope­ra­ting cash flow adjus­ted for 1) addi­ti­ons to pro­per­ty, plant and equip­ment, net of pro­ceeds from capi­tal grants and part­ner con­tri­bu­ti­ons, 2) pay­ments on finan­ce lea­ses, and 3) pro­ceeds from the McA­fee equi­ty sale. This non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­re is hel­pful in under­stan­ding our capi­tal requi­re­ments and sources of liqui­di­ty by pro­vi­ding an addi­tio­nal means to eva­lua­te the cash flow trends of our busi­ness. Sin­ce the 2017 dives­ti­tu­re, McA­fee equi­ty dis­tri­bu­ti­ons and sales have con­tri­bu­ted to ope­ra­ting and free cash flow, and while the McA­fee equi­ty sale in Q1 2022 would typi­cal­ly be excluded from adjus­ted free cash flow as an equi­ty sale, we belie­ve inclu­ding the sale pro­ceeds in adjus­ted free cash flow faci­li­ta­te a bet­ter, more con­sis­tent com­pa­ri­son to past pre­sen­ta­ti­ons of liquidity.

Intel Cor­po­ra­ti­on

Sup­ple­men­tal Recon­ci­lia­ti­ons of GAAP Out­look to Non-GAAP Outlook

Set forth below are recon­ci­lia­ti­ons of the non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­re to the most direct­ly com­pa­ra­ble US GAAP finan­cial mea­su­re. The­se non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res should not be con­side­red a sub­sti­tu­te for, or supe­ri­or to, finan­cial mea­su­res cal­cu­la­ted in accordance with US GAAP, and the finan­cial out­look pre­pared in accordance with US GAAP and the recon­ci­lia­ti­ons from this Busi­ness Out­look should be careful­ly evaluated.

Plea­se refer to “Expl­ana­ti­on of Non-GAAP Mea­su­res” in this docu­ment for a detail­ed expl­ana­ti­on of the adjus­t­ments made to the com­pa­ra­ble US GAAP mea­su­res, the ways manage­ment uses the non-GAAP mea­su­res, and the reasons why manage­ment belie­ves the non-GAAP mea­su­res pro­vi­de useful infor­ma­ti­on for investors.

Our non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­res reflect adjus­t­ments based on one or more of the items descri­bed abo­ve, as well as the rela­ted inco­me tax effects. Begin­ning in 2023, inco­me tax effects are cal­cu­la­ted using the same fixed long-term pro­jec­ted tax rate across all adjus­t­ments. We pro­ject this long-term non-GAAP tax rate on an annu­al basis using a five-year non-GAAP finan­cial pro­jec­tion that excludes the inco­me tax effects of each adjus­t­ment. The pro­jec­ted non-GAAP tax rate also con­siders fac­tors such as our expec­ted tax struc­tu­re, our tax posi­ti­ons in various juris­dic­tions, and key legis­la­ti­on in signi­fi­cant juris­dic­tions whe­re we ope­ra­te. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate may be sub­ject to chan­ge for a varie­ty of reasons, inclu­ding the rapidly evol­ving glo­bal tax envi­ron­ment, signi­fi­cant chan­ges in our geo­gra­phic ear­nings mix, or chan­ges to our stra­tegy or busi­ness ope­ra­ti­ons. Pro­s­pec­tively, we belie­ve this approach will faci­li­ta­te com­pa­ri­son of our ope­ra­ting results and pro­vi­de useful eva­lua­ti­on of our cur­rent ope­ra­ting per­for­mance. As descri­bed in our expl­ana­ti­on of non-GAAP mea­su­res abo­ve, and con­sis­tent with the use of our other non-GAAP adjus­t­ments, begin­ning in 2023 manage­ment uses this non-GAAP tax rate in mana­ging inter­nal short- and long-term ope­ra­ting plans and in eva­lua­ting our performance.

The impact of non-con­trol­ling inte­rest to our non-GAAP adjus­t­ments in Q1 2023 is expec­ted to be insi­gni­fi­cant and thus is not included in our recon­ci­lia­ti­on of non-GAAP mea­su­res. Out­look con­tem­pla­tes the chan­ge in depre­cia­ble life from 5 to 8 years and a fixed long-term pro­jec­ted non-GAAP tax rate.
