"AMD delivered double-digit percentage sequential revenue growth in both of our segments in the third quarter," said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO. "We continue to take targeted actions to improve long-term financial performance, build great products and simplify our business model. The formation of a joint venture of our back-end manufacturing assets is a significant step towards achieving these goals and strengthening our balance sheet."

Q3 2015 Results

  • Revenue of $1.06 billion, up 13 percent sequentially and down 26 percent year-over-year. The sequential increase was due to solid seasonal semi-custom and strong desktop processor and GPU sales. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to decreased sales in the Computing and Graphics segment.
  • Gross margin of 23 percent, down 2 percentage points sequentially, due to an inventory write-down of $65 million. Non-GAAP(1) gross margin, including the impact of the inventory write-down was 23 percent, down 5 percentage points sequentially. The inventory write-down was due to lower anticipated future demand for older-generation APUs. The gross margin impact of the inventory write-down was 6 percentage points.
  • Operating loss of $158 million, compared to an operating loss of $137 million for the prior quarter. Non-GAAP(1) operating loss of $97 million, compared to non-GAAP(1) operating loss of $87 million in Q2 2015, primarily due to lower gross margin.
  • Net loss of $197 million, loss per share of $0.25, and non-GAAP(1) net loss of $136 million, non-GAAP(1) loss per share of $0.17, compared to a net loss of $181 million, loss per share of $0.23 and non-GAAP(1) net loss of $131 million, non-GAAP(1) loss per share of $0.17 in Q2 2015. The impact of the inventory write-down to EPS was $0.08.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $755 million at the end of the quarter, down $74 million from the end of the prior quarter, due primarily to a $69 million debt interest payment.
  • Total debt at the end of the quarter was $2.26 billion, flat from the prior quarter.

Financial Segment Summary

  • Computing and Graphics segment revenue increased 12 percent sequentially and decreased 46 percent from Q3 2014. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher sales of desktop processors and GPUs and the annual decrease was driven primarily by lower client processor sales.
    • Operating loss was $181 million, compared with an operating loss of $147 million in Q2 2015 and an operating loss of $17 million in Q3 2014. The sequential change was primarily driven by an inventory write-down of older-generation products partially offset by higher revenue. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by lower sales.
    • Client processor average selling price (ASP) decreased sequentially and year-over-year primarily driven by lower notebook processor ASP.
    • GPU ASP was flat sequentially and increased year-over-year. The year-over-year change was due to new GPU product offerings and improved AIB ASP.
  • Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment revenue increased 13 percent sequentially, primarily driven by seasonally higher sales of our semi-custom SoCs. The year-over-year decrease of 2 percent was primarily driven by lower embedded product and server processor sales.
    • Operating income was $84 million compared with $27 million in Q2 2015 and $108 million in Q3 2014. The sequential increase was primarily due to the absence of the $33 million charge associated with a technology node transition in Q2 2015 and higher sales. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by a portion of the Q3 2015 inventory write-down and product mix.
  • All Other category operating loss was $61 million compared with operating losses of $17 million in Q2 2015 and $28 million in Q3 2014. The sequential and year-over-year increases were due to restructuring charges recorded in Q3 2015.

*   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, stock-based
    compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In
    addition, the Company also excluded the following adjustments for the
    indicated periods: for the third quarter of 2015 and nine months ended
    September 26, 2015, the Company excluded restructuring and other
    special charges, net, for the second quarter of 2015 and nine months
    ended September 26, 2015, the Company excluded a technology node
    transition charge, and for the nine months ended September 27, 2014,
    the Company excluded an adjustment for workforce rebalancing severance
    charges. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA
    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 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 financial 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 earnings press release
    of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
    GAAP financial measures.
