* 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 applicable period: for the fourth quarter of 2012,
the Company also included adjustments for the lower of cost or market
charge (LCM Charge) related to GF take-or-pay obligation and net
restructuring charges; for the third quarter of 2012 and the fourth
quarter of 2011, the Company also included an adjustment for net
restructuring charges; for 2012, the Company also included adjustments
for the LCM Charge, a charge related to the limited waiver of
exclusivity from GF, a legal settlement with a third party, net
restructuring charges and costs related to the acquisition of SeaMicro;
and for 2011, the Company also included adjustments related to a
payment to GF, a legal settlement with a third party and net
restructuring charges. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted
EBITDA in the financial schedules 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 adjusted free cash flow in the
earnings release as a supplemental measure of its performance. In 2008
and 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively,
the "AMD Parties") entered into supplier agreements with IBM Credit LLC
and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "IBM Parties").
Pursuant to these supplier agreements, the AMD Parties sold to the IBM
Parties invoices of selected distributor customers. Because the Company
does not recognize revenue until its distributors sell its products to
their customers, under GAAP, the Company classified funds received from
the IBM Parties as debt on the balance sheet. Moreover, for cash flow
purposes, these funds were classified as cash flows from financing
activities. When a distributor paid the applicable IBM Party, the
Company reduced the distributor's accounts receivable and the
corresponding debt resulted in a noncash accounting entry. Because the
Company did not receive the cash from the distributor to reduce the
accounts receivable, the distributor's payment was not reflected in the
Company's cash flows from operating activities. Non-GAAP adjusted free
cash flow for the Company was determined by adding the distributors'
payments to the IBM Parties to GAAP net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities. This amount was then further adjusted by
subtracting capital expenditures. Generally, under GAAP, the reduction
in accounts receivable is assumed to be a source of operating cash
flows. Therefore, the Company believes that treating the payments from
its distributor customers to the IBM Parties as if the Company actually
received the cash from the distributor and then used that cash to pay
down the debt is more reflective of the economic substance of the
transaction. On February 11, 2011, the Company terminated its supplier
agreements with IBM Parties. As a result, as of the end of the second
quarter of 2011, there were no outstanding invoices relating to the
financing arrangement with the IBM Parties, and starting from the third
quarter of 2011, the Company no longer makes quarterly adjustments for
distributors' payments to the IBM Parties to its GAAP net cash provided
by (used in) operating activities when calculating non-GAAP adjusted
free cash flow. The Company calculates and communicates non-GAAP
adjusted free cash flow in the financial schedules 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 adjusted 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 adjusted free cash flow as an
alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating or
financing activities. The Company has provided reconciliations within
the press release and financial schedules of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
