INTEL 1994 REVENUE, EARNINGS PER SHARE SET RECORDS
Q4 Results impacted by a $475 million charge
SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 17, 1995 -- Driven by a robust personal computer
market, Intel Corporation's 1994 revenue and earnings per share set new records,
the company announced today.
Revenue totaled $11.52 billion, up 31% from $8.78 billion for 1993. As a
result of a one-time pretax charge of $475 million, net income decreased
slightly to $2.29 billion, from $2.30 billion for the previous year. After the
charge, which amounted to $0.70 per share, earnings per share increased to $5.24
from $5.20 per share for 1993.
Fourth quarter revenue of $3.23 billion, up 35% from $2.39 billion a year
ago, marked the first quarter in which Intel's revenue exceeded $3 billion. Net
income totaled $372 million, down 37% from $594 million for the fourth quarter
of 1993. Post-charge earnings per share were $0.86, versus $1.35 a year
earlier.
The fourth quarter results announced today compare with third quarter
revenue of $2.86 billion, and net income of $659 million or $1.52 per share.
Third quarter pretax income benefited from $45 million of non-recurring items or
approximately $0.07 earnings per share.
Fourth quarter 1994 revenue and cost of sales were impacted by a one-time
charge taken to cover replacement and other costs associated with a divide
problem in the floating point unit of the company's Pentium(tm) processor. As a
result, fourth quarter gross margin was reduced by $475 million. This charge
resulted in a $0.70 per share impact to fourth quarter and 1994 earnings per
share.
Based on Intel's analysis, the problem can result in reduced precision in
floating point divide operations once in every nine billion random number pairs.
n December, the company offered to replace the processor for any PC owner whose
system is based on this version of the Pentium processor.
The charge covers replacement costs, replacement material and writedown of
the company's inventory of the earlier versions of Pentium processors. The
company said it believed the charge announced today will be sufficient to cover
all associated costs.
In 1994, Intel repurchased a total of 10.9 million shares of common stock
at a cost of $658 million under its stock repurchase program.
President and Chief Executive Officer Andrew S. Grove, said, "Demand was
very strong for both Pentium and Intel486(tm) processors during the holiday
season. Unit shipments of the Pentium processor approximately doubled versus
the previous quarter and we expect continued strong growth in the first quarter
of 1995.
"We have done a very rapid manufacturing cutover to the updated version of
the Pentium processor, and currently all Pentium processor shipments are of the
updated version. We were able to make this very rapid transition because
Intel's manufacturing operation performed so well. The usual holiday shutdowns
were canceled and the group pulled out all the stops to ramp production of the
updated version.
"The replacement program is complex. We serve hundreds of manufacturers of
Pentium processor-based systems worldwide. They use a variety of heat sinks,
sockets and motherboards, and we offer five speed selections of Pentium
processors in various packages. Almost overnight, we created an infrastructure
to serve thousands of callers daily, and to get the right replacement processor
in their machines as quickly as possible. Our people are working hard to make
this happen.
"The Pentium processor divide problem has been a learning experience for
Intel. In the end, I think it will strengthen the company by improving our
policies and infrastructure for serving consumers with a wide range of computing
needs," Dr. Grove said.
BUSINESS UPDATE
- ---------------
Processor Products
- ------------------
Key Q4 1994 developments in the company's processor products business
include the following:
* Unit volume of microprocessor shipments set a new quarterly record.
* In spite of very strong Intel486 bookings in the fourth quarter, the dollar
volume of fourth quarter Pentium processor bookings was larger than bookings
of the Intel486 chip for the first time.
* The company said approximately 23% of its fourth quarter processor unit
shipments for the desktop computer market segment were represented by the
Pentium processor.
* The 100-MHz Pentium processor moved into volume production during the
quarter.
* Intel achieved its goal of doubling microprocessor performance at major PC
price points in 1994. For example, during the December 1993 holiday season
the consumer was able to purchase a PC based on the Intel486 DX2-50MHz
processor with 4 megabytes of RAM, a 200 megabyte hard disk drive and monitor
for about $2,000. In the December 1994 holiday season that same $2,000 would
enable the consumer to purchase a PC based on the 60-MHz Pentium processor
with 8 megabytes of RAM, a 400+ megabyte hard disk drive and monitor.
* Quarterly unit volume of PC board shipments set a new Intel record. The
company expects quarterly unit volume of PC board shipments to continue to
increase in 1995.
* At the 1994 Comdex Computer show, NEC Corporation, Texas Instruments
Incorporated, and Toshiba Corp. demonstrated new PC notebook products based
on the 75-MHz Pentium processor. To date, 28 companies have announced plans
to produce mobile PCs based on the Pentium processor.
* Intel's Scalable Systems Division set a new world supercomputing record. The
Paragon(tm) XP/S MP supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, employing
6,768 Intel I860(R) XP processors, performed in excess of 281 billion
instructions per second on certain applications. This represents a
performance increase of over 50% from the prior speed record.
Communications & Network Products
- ---------------------------------
In the fourth quarter Intel announced new products and enhanced capability
for its ProShare(tm) personal conferencing family. The ProShare Video System
200 now includes the capability to conduct video conferences over local area
networks (LAN) in addition to ISDN (integrated services digital network)
networks. Intel also introduced an extension of its LANDesk(tm) Manager family
that allows network administrators to manage the deployment of video
conferencing over existing corporate networks. In its December 94 issue, PC
Computing selected LANDesk manager software as the 1994 most valuable product in
networking management.
Intel acquired certain assets of Shany Computers, Ltd. this quarter.
Shany's flagship AlertVIEW(R) product detects, diagnoses, and corrects LAN-based
PC software application errors across a wide spectrum of networking
environments. The acquired assets will further Intel's end-to-end network
management strategy by complementing the company's PC LAN management LANDesk
product family.
Semiconductor Products
- ----------------------
Sales of Intel's flash memory products reached a new record in the fourth
quarter as Intel continued to be the number one supplier of flash memory chips
in the world. Applications for flash memory in wireless communications and
networking products have been the principal drivers of growth in Intel's flash
memory business in recent quarters. Intel also announced two 16-megabit
embedded flash RAM devices featuring high-performance interfaces that allow both
code storage and direct data execution.
During the fourth quarter, Intel introduced new microcontrollers based on
the MCS(R) 251 architecture. These new 8-bit microcontrollers are expected to
give customers a 5-15 times performance improvement over current 8-bit devices
while preserving full compatibility with existing system design and support
software.
Geographic Review
- -----------------
Intel's revenue breakdown by major geographic regions is summarized below:
Q4 93 Q3 94 Q4 94
Percent of revenue
by geographic area
Americas 45 53 48
Europe 33 23 32
Asia Pacific 14 15 12
Japan 8 9 8
Bookings for the fourth quarter were slightly greater than billings due to
a robust PC market. Fourth quarter 1994 bookings set a record.
A healthy rebound in European sales in the fourth quarter and growth in the
Americas market drove the revenue increase. Sales in the Asia-Pacific and Japan
markets were down from the prior quarter.
Manufacturing Review
- --------------------
The company has successfully transitioned to the new stepping needed to
produce the updated version of the Pentium processor without the floating point
divide problem.
Fab 5 in Oregon converted its existing six-inch wafer, 0.8-micron capacity
to six-inch wafer, 0.6- micron technology. The converted Fab 5 was qualified
for production and began shipping volume quantities of advanced Intel486 and
Pentium processors in the fourth quarter. Conversion of existing six-inch
wafer, 0.8-micron capacity to advanced 0.6-micron capacity continues at Fab 9 in
New Mexico.
The company completed a project to upgrade Fab D1, in Aloha, Oregon to a
full production facility. Fab D1, which features the next generation
0.35-micron process technology, will begin to ramp shortly. Additional
state-of-the-art 0.35-micron capacity is being readied at Fab 11 in New Mexico.
During the fourth quarter Intel announced and began major expansions in its
production and process technology research and development (R&D) facilities.
The company began the expansion of its Fab D2 production facility in Santa Clara
that will roughly double the size of the existing facility. The company also
broke ground on a new R&D facility in Oregon known as Fab D1b. Fab D1b will
initially serve as a home for Oregon's Portland Technology Development
operation, which creates the manufacturing recipes for future Intel chips.
The plant will develop technologies in the sub-0.25-micron range and later be
converted into a manufacturing facility.
Marketing Review
- ----------------
Intel continued its Pentium processor merchandising campaign during the
fourth quarter with extensive television advertisements and cooperative
advertising in retail stores.
Intel's "Passport To The World" exhibit at the Comdex computer show and
Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas featured a six minute presentation of
some of the latest PC applications, including ProShare video conferencing, and
CNN-At-Work*, running on Pentium processor-based systems in real-world
situations.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
- ----------------
Income Statement
- ----------------
Q4 1994 net revenue was up 13% from Q3 1994, driven by higher revenue from
Pentium processors, and board-level products. Fourth quarter revenue was
reduced slightly by the revenue portion of the charge for Pentium processors
with the floating point divide problem.
Cost of sales in Q4 1994 increased 59% from Q3 1994, driven by a one-time
charge to cover costs related to inventory writedown and replacement of Pentium
processors containing the floating point divide problem, and higher volumes of
board-level products. Primarily as a result of these items, gross margin
percentage decreased 18 percentage points and gross margin dollars decreased by
$385 million from Q3 1994.
Q4 1994 total expenses increased 11% from Q3 1994. Marketing, general and
administrative expenses increased $64 million primarily as a result of
expenditures for the Pentium processor merchandising campaign.
Interest and other income was $67 million. The company expects interest
and other income to be in the $65 million range for Q1 1995, subject to
prevailing interest rates and excluding the litigation settlement with Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc. The tax rate throughout 1994 was 36.5%. For 1995, the
company expects its tax rate to be 37.0%.
Shares and equivalents used in the calculation of earnings per share
decreased primarily as a result of the stock repurchase program. Shares and
equivalents are summarized below:
(millions of shares)
1993 1994

result of record billings. The company's average-days-sales-outstanding was 48
at the end of Q4 1994 compared with 45 at the end of Q3 1994.
During Q4 1994, the company repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock
at a cost of $111 million (including $65 million to repurchase 1.0 million
shares in connection with the exercise of 1.0 million put warrants) and sold an
additional 2.0 million put warrants for proceeds of $11 million. As of December
31, 1994, the company's potential put warrant obligation was $744 million to buy
back 12.5 million shares of common stock. Of the total 55.0 million shares
authorized for repurchase, approximately 24.6 million shares have been
repurchased and 17.9 million shares of common stock remained available for
repurchase under the stock repurchase program, after reserving shares to cover
outstanding put warrants.
