EXHIBIT 99.1 Q1 REVENUE $8.0 BILLION Q1 EARNINGS EXCLUDING ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS* $0.88 PER SHARE Q1 EARNINGS PER SHARE $0.78 BOTH PER SHARE AMOUNTS INCLUDE $0.17 TAX BENEFIT *Acquisition-related costs consist of one-time write-offs of purchased in-process research and development and the ongoing amortization of goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles. Other acquisition-related intangibles include, for example, the value of the acquired companies' developed technology, trademarks and workforce-in-place. Earnings excluding acquisition-related costs differ from earnings presented according to generally accepted accounting principles because they exclude these costs. SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 18, 2000 -- Intel Corporation announced first quarter revenue of $8.0 billion, up 13 percent from the first quarter of 1999 and down 2 percent sequentially. For the first quarter, net income excluding acquisition-related costs was $3.1 billion, up 52 percent from the first quarter of 1999 and up 28 percent sequentially. First quarter earnings excluding acquisition-related costs were $0.88 per share, an increase of 52 percent from $0.58 in the first quarter of 1999, and up 28 percent sequentially. During the quarter Intel announced that the Internal Revenue Service had closed its examination of the company's tax returns up to and including 1998. As part of this closure, the company reversed previously accrued taxes reducing the quarter's tax provision by $600 million, or approximately $0.17 per share. Including acquisition-related costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, first quarter net income was $2.7 billion, up 37 percent from first quarter 1999 and up 30 percent sequentially. Earnings per share were $0.78, up 37 percent from $0.57 in the first quarter of 1999 and up 28 percent sequentially. Acquisition-related costs in the first quarter consisted of $62 million in one-time charges for purchased in-process research and development and $313 million of amortization of goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles. "Demand in the first quarter was stronger than we expected at the beginning of the year and continues to be stronger as we enter the second quarter," said Craig R. Barrett, president and chief executive officer. "We also expect a strong second half, and are accelerating our investments in capacity to meet future demand." "While supply remains tight entering the second quarter, we are ramping our 0.18-micron manufacturing technology rapidly in five facilities," Barrett continued, "and expanding to eight facilities by year-end, which will substantially increase supply in the coming quarters. We are excited about our product introductions slated for the second half, when we will refresh our entire microprocessor line -- including the launches of the Itanium-TM- processor and processors code-named Willamette and Timna." Intel announced five networking and communications acquisitions in the first quarter, three of which, GIGA A/S, Ambient Technologies, Inc. and Thinkit Technologies, Inc., closed during the quarter and two, Basis Communications Corporation and Voice Technologies Group, Inc., are still pending. Background on each of these acquisitions can be found in the First Quarter Highlights section of this release. During the quarter, the company paid its quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share. The dividend was paid on March 1, 2000, to stockholders of record on February 7, 2000. Intel has paid a regular quarterly cash dividend for over seven years. During the quarter, the company repurchased a total of 9.8 million shares of common stock, at a cost of $1 billion, under an ongoing program. Since the program began in 1990, the company has repurchased 669.7 million shares at a total cost of $19.2 billion. BUSINESS OUTLOOK THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON CURRENT EXPECTATIONS. THESE STATEMENTS ARE FORWARD-LOOKING, AND ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY. THESE STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF ANY MERGERS OR ACQUISITIONS THAT MAY BE COMPLETED AFTER APRIL 1, 2000. ** The company expects revenue for the second quarter of 2000 to be approximately flat with first quarter revenue of $8.0 billion. Product supply will continue to be tight in the second quarter as demand is expected to be better than seasonally normal. The company expects a strong second half with improved product availability. ** Gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2000 is expected be flat to down a point with first quarter gross margin percentage of 63 percent, primarily due to startup and ramp costs associated with 0.18-micron fabrication facilities (fabs). Intel's gross margin expectation for 2000 is 61 percent, plus or minus a few points. Based on Q1 results and current expectations, gross margin percentage for 2000 is expected to be at the mid to high part of that range. In the short term, Intel's gross margin percentage varies primarily with revenue levels and product mix as well as changes in unit costs. ** Expenses (R&D, excluding in-process R&D, plus MG&A) in the second quarter of 2000 are expected to be up 2 to 4 percent from first quarter expenses of $2.1 billion, primarily due to higher R&D spending. Expenses are dependent in part on the level of revenue. ** R&D spending, excluding in-process R&D, is expected to be approximately $3.9 billion for 2000, up from previous guidance of $3.8 billion. ** The company expects interest and other income for the second quarter of 2000 to be approximately $725 million, depending on interest rates, cash balances, equity market levels and volatility, the realization of expected gains on investments, including gains on investments acquired by third parties, and assuming no unanticipated items. ** The tax rate for 2000 is expected to be approximately 31.7 percent, excluding the impact of the recently announced agreement with the Internal Revenue Service and acquisition-related costs from both prior and future mergers or acquisitions. ** Capital spending for 2000 is expected to be approximately $6.0 billion, up from previous guidance of $5.0 billion, due primarily to an upward revision of the company's anticipated capacity requirements. ** Depreciation is expected to be approximately $790 million in the second quarter and $3.5 billion for the full year 2000, up from previous guidance of $3.4 billion. ** Amortization of goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles is expected to be approximately $370 million in the second quarter and $1.4 billion for the full year 2000. The statements by Craig R. Barrett, the statements in the Technology and Manufacturing Review and the above statements contained in this outlook are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to factors discussed above, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: business and economic conditions and growth in the computing industry in various geographic regions; changes in customer order patterns; changes in the mixes of microprocessor types and speeds, purchased components and other products; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures and manufacturing technologies, competing software-compatible microprocessors and acceptance of new products in specific market segments; pricing pressures; development and timing of introduction of compelling software applications; insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory and variations in inventory valuation; continued success in technological advances, including development and implementation of new processes and strategic products for specific market segments; execution of the manufacturing ramp, including the transition to the 0.18-micron process technology; shortage of manufacturing capacity; the ability to grow new networking, communications, wireless and other Internet-related businesses and successfully integrate and operate any acquired businesses; unanticipated costs or other adverse effects associated with processors and other products containing errata (deviations from published specifications); litigation involving antitrust, intellectual property, consumer and other issues; and other risk factors listed from time to time in the company's SEC reports, including but not limited to the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 1999 (Part II, Item 7, Outlook section).
