Intel Fourth-Quarter Revenue $9.7 Billion

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—January 16, 2007— Intel Corporation today announced fourth-quarter revenue of $9.7 billion, operating income of $1.5 billion, net income of $1.5 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of 26 cents. Excluding the effects of share-based compensation, the company posted operating income of $1.8 billion, net income of $1.7 billion and EPS of 30 cents.

Fourth-quarter results included a gain from the sale of certain assets of the company's communications and application processor business to Marvell Technology Group partially offset by impairments, including an impairment for the related decision to place the company's Fab 23 facility in Colorado Springs, Colo., up for sale. The gain and impairments resulted in a net increase to EPS of approximately 2.5 cents. Fourth-quarter restructuring charges related to the company's structure and efficiency program were in line with the company's expectations and decreased EPS by approximately 1.5 cents.

"Intel's product and technology leadership yielded a strong fourth quarter with higher selling prices and record unit shipments in the fastest growing segments of the market," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini.

Financial Review

Fourth-quarter gross margin was 49.6 percent, as compared to 49.1 percent in the third quarter. Gross margin included the positive impact of higher microprocessor units and selling prices that were partially offset by higher factory underutilization charges along with flash memory write-downs and NAND start-up costs. The company used $150 million for share repurchases and announced the approval of a 12.5 percent increase in the quarterly cash dividend to 11.25 cents per share beginning with the dividend expected to be declared in the first quarter of 2007.

Structure and Efficiency Review

In September, the company announced decisions and targets resulting from a structure and efficiency analysis. The company ended 2006 with a workforce of 94,100 people, lower than 102,500 in the second quarter of 2006 and slightly below the target of 95,000 people. The company is on track to generate spending and manufacturing cost savings of approximately $2 billion in 2007 exclusive of restructuring costs.

Key Product Trends (Sequential)

-- Total microprocessor units set a record. The ASP was higher, driven primarily by a mix shift to leading-edge processors in all segments along with growth in mobile as a percentage of the PC microprocessor mix.

-- Chipset units were flat.

-- Motherboard units were lower.

-- Flash memory units set a record.

Fourth-Quarter Sales Patterns

Revenue was higher in all regions and greater than the seasonal average in the Asia-Pacific and Americas regions.

Business Outlook and Risk Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The following expectations do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations that may be completed after Jan. 15.

Q1 2007 Outlook

-- Revenue: Expected to be between $8.7 billion and $9.3 billion.

-- Gross margin: 49 percent, plus or minus a couple of points.

-- Spending (R&D plus MG&A): Between $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion. In addition, the company expects a first-quarter restructuring charge of approximately $50 million.

The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the first quarter, the year and the future are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect Intel's actual results, and variances from Intel's current expectations regarding such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Intel presently considers the factors set forth below to be the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Corporation's published expectations:

-- Intel operates in intensely competitive industries that are characterized by a high percentage of costs that are fixed or difficult to reduce in the short term, significant pricing pressures, and product demand that is highly variable and difficult to forecast. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are affected by the timing of new Intel product introductions and the demand for and market acceptance of Intel's products; actions taken by Intel's competitors, including product offerings, marketing programs and pricing pressures and Intel's response to such actions; Intel's ability to respond quickly to technological developments and to incorporate new features into its products; and the availability of sufficient components from suppliers to meet demand. Factors that could cause demand to be different from Intel's expectations include customer acceptance of Intel and competitors' products; changes in customer order patterns, including order cancellations; changes in the level of inventory at customers; and changes in business and economic conditions.

-- The gross margin percentage could vary significantly from expectations based on changes in revenue levels; product mix and pricing; capacity utilization; variations in inventory valuation; excess or obsolete inventory; manufacturing yields; changes in unit costs; impairments of long-lived assets, including manufacturing, assembly/test and intangible assets; and the timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp and associated costs, including start-up costs.

-- Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation expenses, vary depending on the level of demand for Intel's products, the level of revenue and profits and impairments of long-lived assets.

-- Intel is in the midst of a structure and efficiency program which is resulting in several actions that could have an impact on expected expense levels and gross margin.

-- The tax rate expectation is based on current tax law and current expected income and assumes Intel continues to receive tax benefits for export sales. The tax rate may be affected by the closing of acquisitions or divestitures; the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed; changes in the estimates of credits, benefits and deductions; the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities; and the ability to realize deferred tax assets.

-- Gains or losses from equity securities and interest and other could vary from expectations depending on equity market levels and volatility; gains or losses realized on the sale or exchange of securities; impairment charges related to marketable, non-marketable and other investments; interest rates; cash balances; and changes in fair value of derivative instruments.

-- Dividend declarations and the dividend rate are at the discretion of Intel's board of directors, and plans for future dividends may be revised by the board. Intel's dividend and stock buyback programs could be affected by changes in its capital spending programs, changes in its cash flows and changes in the tax laws, as well as by the level and timing of acquisition and investment activity.

-- Intel's results could be affected by the amount, type, and valuation of share-based awards granted as well as the amount of awards cancelled due to employee turnover and the timing of award exercises by employees.

-- Intel's results could be impacted by unexpected economic, social, political and physical/infrastructure conditions in the countries in which Intel, its customers or its suppliers operate, including military conflict and other security risks, natural disasters, infrastructure disruptions, health concerns and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

-- Intel's results could be affected by adverse effects associated with product defects and errata (deviations from published specifications), and by litigation or regulatory matters involving intellectual property, stockholder, consumer, antitrust and other issues, such as the litigation and regulatory matters described in Intel's SEC reports.

A more detailed discussion of these and other factors that could affect Intel's results is included in Intel's SEC filings, including the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30.

Status of Business Outlook

During the quarter, Intel's corporate representatives may reiterate the Business Outlook during private meetings with investors, investment analysts, the media and others. From the close of business on March 2 until publication of the company's first-quarter 2007 earnings release, Intel will observe a "Quiet Period" during which the Business Outlook disclosed in the company's press releases and filings with the SEC should be considered to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to update by the company.

   The company's operating segments currently include the Digital
    Enterprise Group, the Mobility Group, the Flash Memory Group, the
    Digital Home Group, the Digital Health Group, and the Channel
    Platforms Group. The prior period amounts have been adjusted
    retrospectively to reflect reorganizations.

   The company reports the financial results of the following
    operating segments:
   -- Digital Enterprise Group - includes microprocessors and related
    chipsets and motherboards designed for the desktop and enterprise
    computing market segments; communications infrastructure
    components such as network processors, communications boards, and
    embedded processors; wired connectivity devices; and products for
    network and server storage.
   -- Mobility Group - includes microprocessors and related chipsets
    designed for the notebook computing market segment; and wireless
    connectivity products. The operating results associated with the
    divested assets of the communications and application processor
    business were included in the Mobility Group operating segment
    through the date of the divestiture.
   -- Flash Memory Group - includes NOR flash memory products designed
    for cellular phones and embedded form factors; and NAND flash
    memory products manufactured by IMFT that are designed for memory
    cards and digital audio players.

   The Flash Memory Group, Digital Home Group, Digital Health Group
    and Channel Platforms Group operating segments do not meet the
    quantitative thresholds for reportable segments as defined by SFAS
    No. 131. However, the Flash Memory Group is reported separately,
    as management believes that this information is useful to the
    reader. The Digital Home Group, Digital Health Group and Channel
    Platforms Group operating segments are included within the "all
    other" category.

   The company has sales and marketing, manufacturing, finance, and
    administration groups. Expenses of these groups are generally
    allocated to the operating segments and are included in the
    operating results reported above. Revenue for the "all other"
    category primarily relates to microprocessors and related chipsets
    sold by the Digital Home Group. In addition to the operating
    results for the Digital Home Group, Digital Health Group, and
    Channel Platforms Group operating segments, the "all other"
    category includes certain corporate-level operating expenses,
    including a portion of profit-dependent bonus and other expenses
    not allocated to the operating segments; results of operations of
    seed businesses that support the company's initiatives;
    acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any
    impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill;
    charges for purchased in-process research and development; share-
    based compensation charges; restructuring charges; and asset
    impairment charges.


In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of share-based compensation and the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, "Share-based Payment" ("123R"). The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by the company exclude the income statement effects of all forms of share-based compensation and the effects of 123R upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the Form 8-K dated January 16, 2007 that Intel has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
