SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 31, 2024 — Intel Corporation today reported third-quarter 2024 financial results.

“Our Q3 results underscore the solid progress we are making against the plan we outlined last quarter to reduce costs, simplify our portfolio and improve organizational efficiency. We delivered revenue above the midpoint of our guidance, and are acting with urgency to position the business for sustainable value creation moving forward,” said Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO. “The momentum we are building across our product portfolio to maximize the value of our x86 franchise, combined with the strong interest Intel 18A is attracting from foundry customers, reflects the impact of our actions and the opportunities ahead.”

“Restructuring charges meaningfully impacted Q3 profitability as we took important steps toward our cost reduction goal,” said David Zinsner, Intel CFO. “The actions we took this quarter position us for improved profitability and enhanced liquidity as we continue to execute our strategy. We are encouraged by improved underlying trends, reflected in our Q4 guidance.”

Q3 2024 Financial Highlights

Q3 2024 Restructuring and Impairment Charges

In the third quarter, the company made significant progress on its $10 billion cost reduction plan. The plan aims to drive operational efficiency and agility, accelerate profitable growth and create capacity for ongoing strategic investment in technology and manufacturing leadership. These initiatives include structural and operating realignment across the company, alongside reductions in headcount, operating expenses and capital expenditures. As a result of these actions, the company recognized $2.8 billion in restructuring charges in Q3 2024, $528 million of which are non-cash charges and $2.2 billion of which will be cash settled in the future.

Intel's third quarter results were also materially impacted by the following charges:

• $3.1 billion of charges, substantially all of which were recognized in cost of sales, related to non-cash impairments and the acceleration of depreciation for certain manufacturing assets, a substantial majority of which related to the Intel 7 process node, based upon an evaluation of current process technology node capacities relative to projected market demand for Intel products and services;
• $2.9 billion of non-cash charges associated with the impairment of goodwill for certain reporting units – primarily the Mobileye reporting unit – as well as certain acquired intangible assets; and
• $9.9 billion of non-cash charges related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

The restructuring charges of $2.8 billion and the asset impairment charges, including the allowance against our deferred tax assets, and accelerated depreciation of $15.9 billion increased GAAP loss per share attributable to Intel by $3.89. The restructuring charges, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, and deferred tax asset valuation allowance had no impact on non-GAAP loss per share attributable to Intel. The impairment charges and accelerated depreciation for certain manufacturing assets of $3.1 billion increased GAAP and non-GAAP loss per share attributable to Intel by $0.57 and $0.63 per share, respectively. These charges were not incorporated into the guidance Intel provided for the third quarter of 2024.

Business Unit Summary

In October 2022, Intel announced an internal foundry operating model, which took effect in the first quarter of 2024 and created a foundry relationship between its Intel Products business (collectively CCG, DCAI and NEX) and its Intel Foundry business (including Foundry Technology Development, Foundry Manufacturing and Supply Chain and Foundry Services, formerly IFS). The foundry operating model is designed to reshape operational dynamics and drive greater transparency, accountability, and focus on costs and efficiency. In furtherance of Intel's internal foundry operating model, Intel announced in the third quarter of 2024 its intent to establish Intel Foundry as an independent subsidiary. The company also previously announced its intent to operate Altera^® as a standalone business beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Altera was previously included in DCAI's segment results. As a result of these changes, the company modified its segment reporting in the first quarter of 2024 to align to this new operating model. All prior-period segment data has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the way the company internally receives information and manages and monitors its operating segment performance starting in fiscal year 2024. There are no changes to Intel’s consolidated financial statements for any prior periods.

Intel Products Highlights

• Intel announced plans with AMD to create the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group, bringing together leaders from across the industry to help shape the future of x86. The Ecosystem Advisory Group is focused on simplifying software development, ensuring interoperability and interface consistency across vendors and providing developers with standard architectural tools and instructions. Broadcom, Dell, Google, HPE, HP Inc., Lenovo, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat have signed on as founding members.
• CCG: Intel continues to lead the AI PC category and is on track to ship more than 100 million AI PCs by the end of 2025. In September, Intel launched its Intel® Core™ Ultra 200V series processors, code-named Lunar Lake, delivering several more hours of battery life and gains in performance, graphics and AI. This month, Intel launched the new Intel® Core™ Ultra 200S processors, code-named Arrow Lake, that will scale AI PC capabilities to desktop platforms and usher in the first enthusiast desktop AI PCs.
• DCAI: Intel launched Intel® Xeon®, doubling the performance of the prior generation with increased core counts, memory bandwidth, and embedded AI acceleration. Intel also launched its Intel® Gaudi® 3 AI accelerators, delivering twice the networking bandwidth and 1.5x the memory bandwidth of its predecessor for large language model efficiency. IBM and Intel announced a global collaboration to deploy Intel Gaudi 3 AI accelerators as a service on IBM Cloud, aiming to help more cost-effectively scale enterprise AI and drive innovation underpinned with security and resiliency.
• NEX: Intel achieved a significant design win earlier this month with KDDI, a major global telecom, announcing its selection of Samsung's vRAN 3.0 solution powered by 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost.

Intel Foundry Highlights

• Intel’s fifth node in four years, Intel 18A, will complete a historic pace of design and process innovation, returning Intel to process leadership. Intel 18A is healthy and continues to progress well, and the company’s two lead products, Panther Lake for client and Clearwater Forest for servers, have met early Intel 18A milestones ahead of next year's launches.
• Intel and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are finalizing a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar commitment to expand the companies' existing partnership to include a new custom Xeon 6 chip for AWS on Intel 3 and a new AI fabric chip for AWS on Intel 18A.
• The Biden-Harris Administration announced that Intel was awarded up to $3 billion in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act for the Secure Enclave program. The program is designed to expand the trusted manufacturing of leading-edge semiconductors for the U.S. government and fortify the domestic semiconductor supply chain.
• Intel announced its intention to establish Intel Foundry as an independent subsidiary. This structure provides clearer separation for external foundry customers and suppliers between Intel Foundry and Intel Products. It also gives Intel future flexibility to evaluate independent sources of funding and optimize the capital structure of Intel Foundry and Intel Products.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with US GAAP, this document contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in our performance-based RSUs and our cash bonus plans.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related effects to income taxes and net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests effects. Income tax effects are calculated using a fixed long-term projected tax rate of 13% across all adjustments. We project this long-term non-GAAP tax rate on at least an annual basis using a five-year non-GAAP financial projection that excludes the income tax effects of each adjustment. The projected non-GAAP tax rate also considers factors such as our tax structure, our tax positions in various jurisdictions, and key legislation in significant jurisdictions where we operate. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate may be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix, or changes to our strategy or business operations. Management uses this non-GAAP tax rate in managing internal short- and long-term operating plans and in evaluating our performance; we believe this approach facilitates comparison of our operating results and provides useful evaluation of our current operating performance. Non-GAAP adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated by adjusting for the minority stockholder portion of non-GAAP adjustments we make for relevant acquisition-related costs, share-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, and income tax effects, as applicable to each majority-owned subsidiary.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with US GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
