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 May 28 until publication of the company's second-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 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 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. Additionally, Intel is in the process of
        transitioning to its next generation of products on 32nm process
        technology, and there could be execution issues associated with these
        changes, including product defects and errata along with lower than
        anticipated manufacturing yields.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 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, including costs associated with the new 32nm process technology;
        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 realized on the sale or
        exchange of securities; gains or losses from equity method investments;
        impairment charges related to debt securities as well as equity and
        other investments; interest rates; cash balances; and changes in fair
        value of derivative instruments.
    --  The majority of our 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 our 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 our ability to
        design our 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-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 26, 2009.

INTEL CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENTAL RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP RESULTS

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United
States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings
release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the charge incurred in
the fourth quarter of 2009 as a result of the settlement agreement with Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) in the amount of $1.25 billion. These non-GAAP
measures also exclude the associated impacts of the AMD settlement on our tax
provision.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be
considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with
GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate for both its
own assessment of, and to show the reader, how our performance compares to other
periods. Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
