Quarterly Financial Summary
- Gross margin was 35 percent in Q1 2014.
- Gross margin was flat sequentially.
- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including long-term marketable securities, were $982 million at the end of the quarter, close to the optimal balance of $1 billion and well above the target minimum of $600 million.
- In Q1 2014, AMD made the final $200 million cash payment to GLOBALFOUNDRIES related to the reduction of the "take or pay" wafer obligation commitments for 2012.
- Total debt, long-term and short-term, at the end of the quarter was $2.14 billion, up from $2.06 billion in Q4 2013.
- During Q1 2014, AMD focused on re-profiling its near-term debt maturities. The company issued $600 million in aggregate principal value of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019, utilizing proceeds to repurchase approximately $423 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 and approximately $48 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.125% Senior Notes due 2017 during the quarter.
- Additionally, AMD repurchased approximately $64 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 in the open market utilizing cash balances in Q1 2014.
- Computing Solutions segment revenue decreased 8 percent sequentially and 12 percent year-over-year. The sequential and year-over-year declines were due to decreased client unit shipments.
- Operating loss was $3 million, an improvement from an operating loss of $7 million in Q4 2013 and $39 million in Q1 2013 driven by lower operating expenses.
- Microprocessor average selling price (ASP) was flat sequentially and decreased slightly year-over-year.
- Graphics and Visual Solutions segment revenue decreased 15 percent sequentially and increased 118 percent year-over-year driven largely by semi-custom SoCs. GPU revenue increased sequentially and year-over-year due to strong demand for the AMD Radeon™ R7 and R9 family of products.
- Operating income was $91 million compared with $121 million in Q4 2013 and $16 million in Q1 2013. The sequential decline was primarily due to decreased revenue from semi-custom SoCs while the year-over-year increase was driven by higher sales of semi-custom SoCs.
- GPU ASP increased sequentially and year-over-year driven by the Radeon™ R7 and R9 family of products.

(1) In this release, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided
non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income (loss),
non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share. These
non-GAAP financial measures reflect certain adjustments as presented in
the data tables in this press release. AMD also provided Adjusted EBITDA
and non-GAAP free cash flow as supplemental measures of its performance.
These items are defined in the footnotes to the selected data tables
provided at the end of this release. AMD is providing these financial
measures because it believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier
for investors to compare its operating results for current and
historical periods and also because AMD believes it assists investors in
comparing AMD's performance across reporting periods on a consistent
basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its
core operating performance and for the other reasons described in the
footnotes to the selected data tables. Refer to the data tables at the
end of this release for additional AMD data.

* The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of
its performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is determined by
adjusting operating income (loss) for depreciation and amortization,
employee stock-based compensation expense and amortization of
acquired intangible assets. In addition, the Company also included
the following adjustments for the indicated periods: for the first
quarter of 2014, the Company included an adjustment for workforce
rebalancing severance charges; for the fourth quarter of 2013, the
Company included an adjustment for net legal settlements; and for
the first quarter of 2013, the Company included net restructuring
and other special charges. The Company calculates and communicates
Adjusted EBITDA in the financial earnings press release because the
Company's management believes it is of importance to investors and
lenders in relation to its overall capital structure and its ability
to borrow additional funds. In addition, the Company presents
Adjusted EBITDA because it believes this measure assists investors
in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a
consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not
believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The
Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be
consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies
in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as
an alternative to the GAAP operating measure of operating income
(loss) or GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA
does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities
as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows.
** The Company also presents non-GAAP free cash flow in the earnings
press release as a supplemental measure of its performance. Non-GAAP
free cash flow is determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by
(used in) operating activities for capital expenditures. The Company
calculates and communicates non-GAAP free cash flow in the earnings
press release because the Company's management believes it is of
importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash
flows. The Company's calculation of non-GAAP free cash flow may or
may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other
companies in the same industry. Investors should not view non-GAAP
free cash flow as an alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of cash
flows from operating activities. The Company has provided
reconciliations within the press earnings release and financial
tables of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.
