Intel First-Quarter Revenue $8.9 Billion
Operating Income $1.7 Billion, EPS 27 Cents
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Intel Corporation today announced first-quarter revenue of $8.9 billion, operating income of $1.7 billion, net income of $1.6 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of 27 cents. The results included the effect of a $300-million reversal of previously accrued taxes that increased EPS by approximately 5 cents.
"The strong momentum of our industry-leading Intel(R) Core(TM) microarchitecture product family, combined with ongoing structural cost improvements, delivered solid financial results in the first quarter," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. "Our product strength is reflected in the fact that average selling prices for the quarter held up well in a very competitive environment."
Q1 2007 vs. Q1 2006 vs. Q4 2006
------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ----------------
Revenue $8.9 billion -1% -9%
------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ----------------
Operating Income $1.7 billion -3% +13%
------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ----------------
Net Income $1.6 billion +19% +7%
------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ----------------
EPS 27 cents +17% +4%
------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ----------------
Results for the first quarter of 2007 included a tax item that
increased EPS by approximately 5 cents. Results for the fourth
quarter of 2006 included the effects of a gain as well as
restructuring and asset impairment charges that together increased
EPS by approximately 1 cent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial and Key Product Trends
-- First-quarter gross margin was 50.1 percent, higher than 49.6
percent in the previous quarter as lower microprocessor unit
costs and the sale of previously reserved inventory more than
offset the effects of higher 45 nanometer (nm) start-up costs
and lower revenue.
-- The company reached its goal of reducing the workforce to
approximately 92,000 people, meeting the target one quarter
ahead of schedule.
-- Total microprocessor units were lower sequentially. The ASP
was slightly lower driven by a lower mix within server
processors, with desktop and mobile ASPs approximately flat.
-- Chipset, motherboard and flash memory units were lower
sequentially.
Business Outlook
The following expectations do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations that may be completed after April 16.

Approximately $150 million.
-- Tax rate: Approximately 31 percent.
-- Depreciation: Between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion.
2007 Outlook
-- Gross margin: 51 percent plus or minus a few points, higher
than the previous expectation of 50 percent plus or minus a
few points.
-- R&D: Approximately $5.6 billion, higher than the previous
expectation of approximately $5.4 billion.
-- MG&A: Approximately $5.1 billion, lower than the previous
expectation of approximately $5.3 billion.
-- Capital spending: $5.5 billion plus or minus $200 million,
unchanged.
-- Tax rate: Approximately 31 percent in the third and fourth
quarters. The previous expectation was approximately 30
percent for the year.

The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the second 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 in the section entitled "Risk Factors" to be the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Corporation's published expectations.
Recent Events
-- Intel announced that its upcoming 45nm transistor technology
is based on breakthrough Hi-K metal gate transistor materials
that increase performance and reduce leakage, enabling faster
and more energy-efficient microprocessors. The company
announced that fifteen 45nm microprocessors are in development
and demonstrated pre-production desktop, mobile and server
platforms running five operating systems, with shipments
scheduled to begin in the second half of 2007.
-- Intel announced that Fab 11X in Rio Rancho, New Mexico will be
re-tooled to become the company's fourth 300mm factory capable
of producing 45nm microprocessors. Intel also announced plans
to build a 300mm factory in China, with production to begin in
2010.
-- Intel expanded its quad-core microprocessor line-up to include
its first 50-watt quad-core server processors, first quad-core
processors for embedded designs, and fastest-ever quad-core
processors for extreme gaming and digital design. The company
has now introduced 12 quad-core processors for use in
computing, storage and embedded applications.
-- Intel and Sun Microsystems announced a broad strategic
alliance that will result in Sun delivering a comprehensive
family of enterprise and telecommunications servers and
workstations based on Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors, with Intel
supporting Solaris(1) as a mainstream operating system.
-- The company's Intel(R) vPro(TM) processor technology, which
brings manageability and security benefits to IT managers, has
been deployed by more than 200 companies and institutions
including 3M, BMW, FujiFilm, ING, Johns Hopkins, Pioneer and
Verizon.
-- The company introduced the Intel(R) Centrino(R) Pro processor
technology brand, with plans to bring more of the security and
manageability capabilities of Intel's business desktop
platforms to notebook PCs.
-- The company introduced Wi-Fi connections based on the new
802.11n specification that will give future users of Intel(R)
Centrino(R) processor technology up to five times the Wi-Fi
performance and twice the range of earlier technologies.
-- The company announced shipments of Intel-powered "classmate
PCs," bringing affordable mobile computing to K-12 students in
Brazil and Mexico, with plans for pilot programs in 25
countries.
-- Intel announced "solid-state drive" products that use Intel
NAND flash chips as an alternative to rotating magnetic disk
drive technology.
-- Intel researchers developed an 80-core "tera-scale" processor
that brings supercomputer-like performance to a single chip.
The experimental processor may lead to future Intel products
bringing trillions of calculations per second to PCs and
servers.
Risk Factors
-- 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
that 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. 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, including payment of interest and penalties; 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; gains or losses from equity method
investments; impairment charges related to marketable,
non-marketable and other investments; interest rates; cash
balances; and changes in fair value of derivative instruments.
-- 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 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-K for the year ended Dec. 30, 2006.
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 June 1 until publication of the company's second-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.
Earnings Webcast
Intel will hold a public webcast at 2:30 p.m. PDT today on its Investor Relations Web site at www.intc.com, with a replay available until May 1.

The company's operating segments include the Digital Enterprise Group,
Mobility Group, Flash Memory Group, Digital Home Group, and Digital
Health Group. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, the Channel
Platforms Group will directly support Intel's operating segments.
Prior-period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect
certain reorganizations.
The company has sales and marketing, manufacturing, finance, and
administration groups. Expenses for these groups are generally
allocated to the operating segments and the expenses are included in
the operating results reported above. Additionally, in the first
quarter of 2007, the company began allocating share-based
compensation to the operating segments and adjusted results
retrospectively to reflect this change. 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 and Digital Health Group operating
segments, the "all other" category includes certain corporate-level
operating expenses. These expenses include:
-- 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; and
-- amounts included within restructuring and asset impairment
charges in the consolidated condensed statements of income.
