SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intel Corporation today reported that third-quarter revenue exceeded $11 billion for the first time, up 18 percent year-over-year to $11.1 billion. The company reported operating income of $4.1 billion, net income of $3.0 billion and EPS of 52 cents.
"Intel's third-quarter results set all-time records for revenue and operating income," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO. "These results were driven by solid demand from corporate customers, sales of our leadership products and continued growth in emerging markets. Looking forward, we continue to see healthy worldwide demand for computing products of all types and are particularly excited about our next-generation processor, codenamed Sandy Bridge, and the many new designs around our Intel(R) Atom(TM) processors in everything from the new Google TV* products to a wide array of tablets based on Windows*, Android* and MeeGo* operating systems."

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 Nov. 24 until publication of the company's fourth-quarter earnings release, Intel will observe a "Quiet Period" during which the Business Outlook disclosed in the company's news releases and filings with the SEC should be considered as historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to an update by the company.
Risk Factors
The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the fourth 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 following to be the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the corporation's expectations.
-- Demand could be different from Intel's expectations due to factors
including changes in business and economic conditions; customer
acceptance of Intel's and competitors' products; changes in customer
order patterns including order cancellations; and changes in the level
of inventory at customers.
-- 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 and product demand that is highly variable
and difficult to forecast. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are
affected by the timing of Intel product introductions and the demand for
and market acceptance of Intel's products; actions taken by Intel's
competitors, including product offerings and introductions, marketing
programs and pricing pressures and Intel's response to such actions;
defects or disruptions in the supply of materials or resources; and
Intel's ability to respond quickly to technological developments and to
incorporate new features into its products.
-- The gross margin percentage could vary significantly from expectations
based on changes in revenue levels; product mix and pricing; start-up
costs; variations in inventory valuation, including variations related
to the timing of qualifying products for sale; excess or obsolete
inventory; manufacturing yields; changes in unit costs; impairments of
long-lived assets, including manufacturing, assembly/test and intangible
assets; the timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp and
associated costs; and capacity utilization.
-- Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation expenses, as
well as restructuring and asset impairment charges, vary depending on
the level of demand for Intel's products and the level of revenue and
profits.
-- The tax rate expectation is based on current tax law and current
expected income. The tax rate may be affected by 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 gains or losses on the sale, exchange,
change in the fair value or impairments of debt and equity investments;
interest rates; cash balances; and changes in fair value of derivative
instruments.
-- The majority of Intel's non-marketable equity investment portfolio
balance is concentrated in companies in the flash memory market segment,
and declines in this market segment or changes in management's plans
with respect to Intel's investments in this market segment could result
in significant impairment charges, impacting restructuring charges as
well as gains/losses on equity investments and interest and other.
-- Intel's results could be impacted by adverse economic, social, political
and physical/infrastructure conditions in countries where 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 the timing of closing of
acquisitions and divestitures.
-- 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. An
unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an injunction
prohibiting us from manufacturing or selling one or more products,
precluding particular business practices, impacting Intel's ability to
design its products, or requiring other remedies such as compulsory
licensing of intellectual property.
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-Q for the quarter ended June 26, 2010.
