Note 6 : Other Financial Statement Details
Restricted Cash
We have $447 million of restricted cash included in other long-term assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 27, 2025 and included within cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The restricted cash serves as collateral for third party arrangements we entered into and is considered legally restricted due to limitations on usage and withdrawal.
Accounts Receivable
We sell certain of our accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. We record these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accounts receivable sold under non-recourse factoring arrangements were $2.6 billion during 2025, $2.3 billion during 2024 and $2.0 billion during 2023. After the sale of our accounts receivable, we expect to collect payment from the customers and remit it to the third-party financial institution.

Our depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives: machinery and equipment, 3 to 8 years; and buildings, 10 to 25 years.
We invest in and deploy manufacturing assets in response to manufacturing capacity requirements based upon short- and long-term demand forecasts and economic returns relative to capital outlays. We regularly monitor, evaluate and adjust our manufacturing capacity footprint in response to a number of volatile factors that impact our business, including demand for our products and services and the state of the semiconductor industry as a whole. In connection with the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the second quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024, we evaluated our current process technology node capacities relative to projected market demand for our products and services, and concluded that our manufacturing asset portfolio exceeded manufacturing capacity requirements. Upon performing a re-use assessment, we impaired and accelerated depreciation for certain manufacturing assets. In 2025, we recorded non-cash impairments and accelerated depreciation charges of $494 million and $456 million, respectively, all of which were recognized in cost of sales within our Intel Foundry operating segment. In 2024, we recorded non-cash impairments and accelerated depreciation charges of $2.3 billion and $992 million, respectively, substantially all of which were recognized in cost of sales within our Intel Foundry operating segment.
We also incurred certain other non-cash asset impairment charges of $474 million in 2025 and $442 million in 2024 as a direct result of the 2025 and 2024 Restructuring Plans (see "Note 7: Restructuring and Other Charges" within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). These charges were excluded from segment results and included as a component of "corporate unallocated expenses" within the restructuring and other category presented in "Note 3: Operating Segments" within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We negotiate extended payment terms of greater than 90 days with certain of our capital vendors, which are reported as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when paid. Unpaid amounts related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment in 2025 and 2024 under such extended payment terms, included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, totaled $1.5 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment, net, by country at the end of each period was as follows:

Government Incentives
We enter into government incentive arrangements with local, regional and national governments, both U.S. and non-U.S. These arrangements vary in size, duration and conditions and allow us to maintain a market-comparable foothold across various geographies. These incentives are primarily structured as cash grants and refundable tax credits. Capital-related incentives have terms of up to 15 years and operating-related incentives have terms that can vary widely. We are eligible to receive these incentives because we engage in qualifying capital investments, R&D and other activities as defined by the relevant government entities. These include qualifying capital investments for semiconductor wafer and advanced packaging manufacturing facilities construction and acquisition of equipment. Each incentive requires that we comply with certain conditions for a period that may exceed the incentive terms. These conditions can include achievement of future operational targets and committing to minimum levels of capital investment. If conditions are not satisfied, the incentives may be subject to reduction, recapture or termination.
Capital-related incentives reduced gross property, plant and equipment by $16.1 billion as of December 27, 2025 ($9.5 billion as of December 28, 2024), of which $6.7 billion was recognized in 2025 ($4.1 billion in 2024). Capital-related incentives reduced depreciation expense by $1.0 billion in 2025, of which the substantial majority reduced cost of sales ($594 million in 2024 and $226 million in 2023).
Of the $6.7 billion of capital-related incentives recognized in 2025, $5.4 billion was comprised of tax credits attributable to the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit ($2.6 billion in 2024), which may be refunded to us in cash to the extent the credits exceed our outstanding income tax liabilities. Additionally, in 2025, we recognized $769 million of CHIPS Act capital-related incentives ($1.0 billion in 2024), $123 million of capital grants related to two new leading-edge chip factories in Ohio ($115 million in 2024 related to modernization and expansion of chip factories in Oregon), and $323 million of non-U.S. government capital grants and refundable tax credits ($384 million in 2024).

Operating-related incentives, including those recognized under the CHIPS Act, benefited operating income by $529 million in 2025, the substantial majority of which was recorded in cost of sales ($442 million in 2024 and $202 million in 2023, in each case a majority of which was recorded in cost of sales).
As of August 27, 2025, the date the DFA was materially modified, we had received and recorded $2.3 billion in U.S. government incentives under the CHIPS Act and those amounts were accounted for pursuant to our grant accounting policy. In September 2024, we were awarded up to $3.0 billion in direct funding for the Secure Enclave program to expand the trusted manufacturing of leading-edge semiconductors for the U.S. government. In the second quarter of 2025, the award was increased to $3.3 billion. As a result of the U.S. Government Agreement entered into in August 2025, as further described in "Note 5: Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Stockholders' Equity" within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Secure Enclave proceeds received after the U.S. Government Agreement's effective date are being attributed as equity and will not be subject to our grant accounting policy.
Of our total capital-related government incentives recognized in 2025, $6.1 billion was recognized as a non-cash investing activity within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows ($3.3 billion in 2024 and $1.1 billion in 2023). A portion of our capital-related incentives will be collected in cash while a portion may be settled as credits for tax payments due.
