and 41 Percent Sequentially–
SUNNYVALE,
Calif. -- January 23, 2007 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today reported financial results
for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. As a result of AMD’s acquisition
of ATI, fourth quarter financial results include the results of the former
ATI operations1 beginning October 25, 2006. Because comparison of fourth
quarter consolidated financial results to previous periods do not correlate
directly, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures for AMD’s historical
business (pre-acquisition AMD). Management believes this non-GAAP presentation
will aid investors by presenting current and historical results in a form
that makes it easier to compare current period results with historical
results.
AMD
reported fourth quarter 2006 revenue of $1.77 billion, an operating loss
of $527 million, and a net loss of $574 million, or $1.08 per share. These
results include acquisition-related and integration charges of $550 million,
or $1.04 per share, and $27 million of employee stock-based compensation
expense, or $0.05 per share.
AMD
Completes ATI Acquisition and Creates Processing Powerhouse

Unveils
"Fusion" Initiative for Industry's First Integrated CPU/GPU Silicon Solutions
SUNNYVALE,
CALIF. -- October 25, 2006 -- AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced the completion
of its approximately $5.4 billion acquisition of ATI Technologies Inc.
Combining the complementary strengths of the two technology leaders, the
new AMD opens for business as a processing powerhouse committed to driving
innovation, choice and growth in the technology industry. With approximately
15,000 employees, the company merges AMD's technology leadership in microprocessors
together with ATI's leadership in graphics, chipsets and consumer electronics.
"Today
marks a historic day for our employees, our partners and our customers
as we officially welcome ATI into the AMD family," said AMD Chairman and
CEO Hector Ruiz. "On day one, we are delivering a winning set of complementary
technologies, igniting a new level of innovation and continuing to champion
choice for the industry. Thanks to the strength of our talented employees,
the new AMD now has a full range of intellectual property (IP) in microprocessors,
graphics, chipsets and consumer electronics to deliver open platforms and
integrated solutions. In the near term, customers gain a new level of choice,
and in the long term, we believe the possibilities for innovation are truly
limitless."
Transaction
Details
Under
the terms of the transaction, AMD acquired all of the outstanding common
shares of ATI for a combination of approximately $4.3 billion in cash and
58 million shares of AMD common stock, based on the number of shares of
ATI common stock outstanding on October 24, 2006. All outstanding options
and restricted stock units (RSUs) of ATI were assumed. The value of the
ATI acquisition of approximately $5.4 billion is based upon the closing
stock price of AMD common stock on October 24, 2006 of $20.32 per share
and excludes the value of assumed equity awards. AMD financed the cash
portion of the transaction with a combination of cash and new debt. AMD
obtained a $2.5 billion term loan from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc.,
which, together with combined existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
securities balances of approximately $1.8 billion, provided full funding
for the transaction.

“AMD had another great
quarter,” said Robert J. Rivet, AMD’s chief financial officer. “Building
on our positive momentum, we believe we once again gained dollar market
share based on strong customer demand for AMD64 single and multi-core processors.
We expanded our global customer base in the quarter, achieved record AMD
Opteron processor sales, increased our average selling price (ASP), and
realized year-over-year sales growth of 71 percent. Our manufacturing strategy
execution was excellent and our technology transitions remain on track,
with 65nm production shipments expected in the second half of 2006.
“We also continued to
execute against our plans to improve our balance sheet. We had a successful
equity offering, reduced debt and lowered our debt-to-capital ratio to
12 percent2.”
First quarter gross margin
increased to a record 58.5 percent, compared to 57.3 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2005. The increase was largely due to product mix improvement,
higher desktop and mobile ASPs, and manufacturing efficiencies. Operating
income was $259 million in the first quarter, up from $64 million in the
first quarter of 2005 and down slightly from $268 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.
Solid first quarter sales
were driven by ASP improvements from the prior quarter and increasing customer
adoption of AMD’s server, mobile and desktop offerings in the commercial
segment. Record AMD Opteron processor sales were driven, in particular,
by strong demand for dual-core processors for servers and workstations.
Shipments of AMD Turion 64™ mobile processors also increased quarter-on-quarter.
Geographically, processor sales were especially strong in Greater China,
Latin America, Russia and South Asia.
