Status of Business Outlook

From the close of business on August 28 until publication of the company's third-quarter 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 an update by the company.

Risk Factors

The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the third 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.

    --  Ongoing uncertainty in global economic conditions poses a risk to the
        overall economy as consumers and businesses may defer purchases in
        response to tighter credit and negative financial news, which could
        negatively affect product demand and other related matters.
        Consequently, demand could be different from Intel's expectations due to
        factors including changes in business and economic conditions, including
        conditions in the credit market that could affect consumer confidence;
        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; 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; capacity utilization; 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;
        product mix and pricing; 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.
    --  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.
    --  The current financial stress affecting the banking system and financial
        markets and the going concern threats to investment banks and other
        financial institutions have resulted in a tightening in the credit
        markets, a reduced level of liquidity in many financial markets, and
        heightened volatility in fixed income, credit and equity markets. There
        could be a number of follow-on effects from the credit crisis on Intel's
        business, including insolvency of key suppliers resulting in product
        delays; inability of customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of
        our products and/or customer insolvencies; counterparty failures
        negatively impacting our treasury operations; increased expense or
        inability to obtain short-term financing of Intel's operations from the
        issuance of commercial paper; and increased impairments from the
        inability of investee companies to obtain financing. Gains or losses
        from equity securities and interest and other could also 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 current volatility in the financial
        markets and overall economic uncertainty increases the risk that the
        actual amounts realized in the future on our debt and equity investments
        will differ significantly from the fair values currently assigned to
        them.
    --  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 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-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2009.

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 as a result of the European Commission (EC) fine in the amount of
EUR1.06 billion, or about $1.45 billion. In this earnings release the expense
associated with the fine is presented separately within operating expenses in
the second quarter of 2009. 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 to those financial
statements 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.

For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see
the Form 8-K dated July 14, 2009 that Intel has filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
