Intel Fourth-Quarter Revenue $10.2 Billion; EPS 40 Cents; Record Quarterly and
Annual Revenue and Operating Income; Record Quarterly Unit Shipments of Mobile,
Desktop and Server Microprocessors
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2006--Intel Corporation
today announced fourth-quarter revenue of $10.2 billion, operating income of
$3.3 billion, net income of $2.5 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of 40
cents. Revenue was below the company's updated expectation of $10.4 billion to
$10.6 billion primarily due to lower than expected desktop processor unit
shipments and prices.
"2005 was our third consecutive year of double-digit revenue and earnings
growth, leading to the best operating results in the company's history," said
Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. "Although we fell below our expectations
for the fourth quarter, we enter 2006 with exciting new products like the
Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo and Viiv(TM). Our industry-leading 65nm process technology
is ramping dual-core processors into high volume with an expected crossover in
performance segments by mid-year. We expect 2006 will be another year of growth
for Intel as we ramp platforms for notebooks, the digital home, the digital
office and emerging markets."
Q4 2005 vs. Q3 2005 vs. Q4 2004
------------------- ------------------ --------------- ---------------
Revenue $10.2 billion +2% +6%
Operating Income $3.3 billion +7% +14%
Net Income $2.5 billion +23% +16%
EPS 40 cents +25% +21%
------------------- ------------------ --------------- ---------------
Note: Results for the third quarter of 2005 included a tax item and
legal settlement that together lowered EPS by 6 cents.
For 2005, Intel achieved record revenue of $38.8 billion, record operating
income of $12.1 billion, net income of $8.7 billion and EPS of $1.40. Intel paid
record cash dividends of nearly $2 billion and used a record $10.6 billion to
repurchase 418.4 million shares of common stock.
2005 2004 Change
------------------- ------------------ --------------- ---------------
Revenue $38.8 billion $34.2 billion + 13.5%
Operating Income $12.1 billion $10.1 billion + 19%
Net Income $8.7 billion $7.5 billion + 15%
EPS $1.40 $1.16 + 21%
Financial Review
Fourth-quarter gross margin was 61.8 percent, slightly below the company's
updated expectation of 63 percent, plus or minus a point, primarily due to lower
than expected revenue, a slight shift in the overall product mix to
non-microprocessor products, and some inventory valuation adjustments to reflect
lower unit costs. The effective tax rate of 29.1 percent was below the expected
rate of 31 percent primarily due to tax benefits for export sales and estimated
R&D tax credits.
Sales Patterns
Revenue in the company's Asia Pacific region was essentially flat
sequentially while revenue in the Americas region was sequentially lower. These
results primarily reflect lower than expected demand for our desktop products
among certain OEM customers.
Q4 2005 vs. Q3 2005 vs. Q4 2004

Asia-Pacific $5.1 billion Flat +16%

The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans
and expectations for the first quarter, the year and the future involve a number
of risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause Intel's actual results to
differ materially from current expectations, including the following:
-- 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 by product demand that is
highly variable. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are affected
by the demand for and market acceptance of Intel's products; the
availability of sufficient inventory of Intel products and related
components from other suppliers to meet demand; pricing pressures;
actions taken by Intel's competitors; and Intel's ability to respond
quickly to technological developments and to incorporate new features
into its products. Factors that could cause demand to be different
from Intel's expectations include changes in customer order patterns,
including order cancellations; changes in the level of inventory at
customers; and changes in business and economic conditions.
-- The gross margin percentage could vary from expectations based on
changes in revenue levels; product mix and pricing; variations in
inventory valuation, including variations related to the timing of
qualifying products for sale; excess or obsolete inventory;
manufacturing yields; changes in unit costs; capacity utilization;
impairments of long-lived assets, including manufacturing,
assembly/test and intangible assets; and the timing and execution of
the manufacturing ramp and associated costs, including start-up costs.
-- Dividend declarations and the dividend rate are at the discretion of
Intel's board of directors, and plans for future dividends may be
revised by the board. Intel's dividend and stock buyback programs
could be affected by changes in its capital spending programs, changes
in its cash flows and changes in tax laws, as well as by the level and
timing of acquisition and investment activity.
-- Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation expenses,
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 and assumes Intel continues to receive tax benefits
for export sales. The tax rate may be affected by the closing of
acquisitions or divestitures; 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; and the ability to
realize deferred tax assets.
-- Gains or losses from equity securities and interest and other could
vary from expectations depending on equity market levels and
volatility; gains or losses realized on the sale or exchange of
securities; impairment charges related to marketable, non-marketable
and other investments; interest rates; cash balances; and changes in
fair value of derivative instruments.
-- Intel's results could be impacted by unexpected economic, social and
political conditions in the countries in which Intel, its customers or
its suppliers operate, including security risks, possible
infrastructure disruptions and fluctuations in foreign 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.
-- Intel's results could be affected by the amount, type, and valuation
of share-based awards granted as well as the amount of awards
cancelled due to employee turnover.
A more detailed discussion of these and other factors that could affect
results is contained in Intel's SEC filings, including the report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended Oct. 1, 2005.
Status of Business Outlook
During the quarter, Intel's corporate representatives may reiterate the
Business Outlook during private meetings with investors, investment analysts,
the media and others. From the close of business on March 3 until publication of
the company's first-quarter 2006 earnings release on April 19, Intel will
observe a "Quiet Period" during which the Business Outlook disclosed in the
company's press releases and filings with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q should
be considered to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only
and not subject to update by the company.
Earnings Webcast
Intel will hold a public webcast at 2:30 p.m. PST today on its Investor
Relations Web site at www.intc.com, with a replay available until April 19.
Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies,
products and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live.

During the first quarter of 2005, the company reorganized its
operating segments to bring all major product groups in line with the
company's strategy to design and deliver technology platforms. The
operating segments after the first quarter reorganization included the
Digital Enterprise Group, the Mobility Group, the Digital Home Group,
the Digital Health Group and the Channel Platforms Group. In the
fourth quarter of 2005, the company added the Flash Memory Group. The
Digital Enterprise Group and the Mobility Group are reportable
operating segments. The Flash Memory Group, Digital Home Group,
Digital Health Group and Channel Platforms Group operating segments do
not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments; however,
the Flash Memory Group is reported separately as management believes
this information is useful to readers. The Digital Home Group, Digital
Health Group and Channel Platforms Group operating segments are
included within the "all other" category. All prior period amounts
have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the new organizational
structure and certain minor reorganizations effected through the
fourth quarter of 2005.
The Digital Enterprise Group operating segment's products include
microprocessors and related chipsets and motherboards designed for the
desktop (including consumer desktop) and enterprise computing market
segments, communications infrastructure components such as network
processors and embedded microprocessors, wired connectivity devices
and products for network and server storage. The Mobility Group
operating segment's products include microprocessors and related
chipsets designed for the notebook computing market segment, wireless
connectivity products, application and cellular processors used in
cellular handsets and handheld computing devices, and cellular
baseband chipsets. The Flash Memory Group operating segment's products
include NOR flash memory products designed for cellular phones and
embedded form factors. Revenue for the "all other" category primarily
consists of microprocessors and related chipsets sold by the Digital
Home Group.
The "all other" category includes certain corporate-level operating
expenses, including a portion of profit-dependent bonus and other
expenses not allocated to the operating segments. "All other" also
includes the results of operations of seed businesses that support the
company's initiatives. Finally, "all other" includes
acquisition-related costs. In 2003, acquisition-related costs included
a goodwill impairment charge of $611 million.
