The Organization of Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
The order and presentation of content in our Form 10-Q differs from the traditional SEC Form 10-Q format. Our format is designed to improve readability and better present how we organize and manage our business. See "Form 10-Q Cross-Reference Index" within Other Key Information for a cross-reference index to the traditional SEC Form 10-Q format.
We have defined certain terms and abbreviations used throughout our Form 10-Q in "Key Terms" within Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Supplemental Details.
The preparation of our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements is in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Our Form 10-Q includes key metrics that we use to measure our business, some of which are non-GAAP measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" within MD&A for an explanation of these measures and why management uses them and believes they provide investors with useful supplemental information.

Total revenue of $19.2$18.4 billion was up $859 milliondown $1.3 billion year over year as DCG grew 10% and CCG decreased 2%13% and DCAI increased 22%. DCG revenue increasedCCG was down on higher platformlower notebook and desktop volume, and higher platform ASPs due to strong recovery in enterprise and government, and stronger core mix, partially offset by higher notebook and desktop ASPs, and lower revenue in the cloud service providers market segment compared to a strong, COVID-driven Q3 2020. CCG revenue was down due to lower notebook volume in consumer and education due to industry-wide component shortages, and down on adjacent revenue primarily driven bythe continued ramp down from the exit of our 5G smartphone modem business,business. DCAI revenue increased on higher server volume due to strength in hyperscale products and continued recovery from COVID-driven lows in Q1 2021, partially offset by higher platform ASPslower server ASPs. NEX revenue increased on strong demand for cloud networking and by increased desktop volume. IOTG and Mobileye were both up primarily on higher demand amid recovery fromedge products.

Higher revenue in DCG, IOTG, Mobileye and PSG, partially offset by declines in CCG and NSG. Non-GAAP revenue excludes NSG.
Higher gross margin from higher platform2 revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses from additional investment, higher period charges from ramp of process technology, and absence of sell-through on reserved non-qualified platform products compared to Q3 2020. Non-GAAP operating income excludes NSG, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and restructuring.
Higher EPS driven by McAfee special dividend, lower effective tax rate, and lower shares. Non-GAAP results incrementally exclude ongoing mark-to-market adjustments, and tax impacts of non-GAAP adjustments.Lower operating cash flow driven by a decrease in net working capital contributions and cash paid to settle a prepaid supply agreement in Q1 2021, partially offset by a McAfee special dividend received in Q3 2021.

Lower revenue in CCG and lack of Corporate revenue from a prepaid customer supply agreement in Q1 2021; higher revenue in DCAI and NEX. Non-GAAP Q1 2021 revenue excludes historical results of the divested NAND business.Lower gross margin from higher unit cost and higher period charges from ramp of Intel 4, partially offset by changes in revenue. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based compensation, and historical results of the divested NAND business.
Higher EPS from gains on the sale of McAfee and on the NAND divestiture, and the benefit from the EC fine reversal, partially offset by higher operating expenses from additional investment and a higher effective tax rate. Non-GAAP results incrementally exclude Restructuring and other charges, (Gains) losses from divestiture, (Gains) losses on equity investments, net, the tax reform adjustment, and the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments.
Higher operating cash flow driven by decrease in cash used in net working capital and benefit from the EC fine reversal, offset by lower income after adjusting for non-cash items, including the gain on the sale of McAfee and pre-tax gain from the divestiture of our NAND business. Adjusted free cash flow increased due to the proceeds on the sale of McAfee.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
Note 1 :Basis of Presentation
We prepared our interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 20202021 Form 10-K.
We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K where we include additional information about our policies and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates.
In the first quarter of 2022, we reclassified the presentation of cash paid and received under our credit support annex agreements with derivative counterparties within our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows. These reclassifications better reflect the economic intent of the credit support annex agreements, and result in changes to amounts previously reported for net cash provided by (used for) operating, investing, and financing activities.
In the first quarter of 2022, we reclassified the presentation of certain marketable debt investments within our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, combining all marketable debt investments with original contractual maturities of three months or more into Short-term investments as they represent the investment of cash available for current operations. These reclassifications simplify our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and result in changes to amounts previously reported as Short-term investments, Trading assets and Other long-term investments.
Note 2 :Operating Segments
We previously announced several organizational changes that would accelerate the execution and innovation of our Company by allowing us to capture growth in both large traditional markets and high-growth emerging markets. This includes reorganization of our business units to capture this growth and to provide increased transparency, focus and accountability. As a result, we modified our segment reporting in Q1 2021 to align to the previously announced business reorganization. All prior-period segment data has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the way we internally manage and monitor operating segment performance starting in fiscal year 2022.
We now manage our business through the following operating segments:
CCGClient Computing (CCG)
DCGDatacenter and AI (DCAI)
IOTGNetwork and Edge (NEX)
Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics (AXG)
Mobileye
NSGIntel Foundry Services (IFS)
PSG
We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from platform products, which are our principal products and considered as one product class. We offer platform products that incorporate various components and technologies, including a microprocessor and chipset, a stand-alone SoC, or a multichip package, which is based on Intel® architecture. Platform products are used in various form factors across our
CCG, DCG,DCAI and IOTG operating segments. Our non-platform, or adjacent products, can be combined with platform products to form comprehensive platform solutions to meet customer needs.
CCG and DCGNEX are our reportable operating segments. IOTG,AXG, Mobileye, NSG, and PSGIFS do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable operating segments; however, we have elected to disclose the results of these non-reportable operating segments. Our Internet of Things portfolio, presentedAXG revenue includes integrated graphics royalties from our CCG and NEX operating segments and are recorded as Internet of Things, is comprised of IOTGif the sales or transfers were to third parties at prices that approximate market-based selling prices. When we enter into federal contracts, they are aligned to the sponsoring operating segment.
We have sales and Mobileyemarketing, manufacturing, engineering, finance, and administration groups. Expenses for these groups are generally allocated to the operating segments. In 2021, our DCG operating segment includes the results of our Intel® OptaneTM memory business, and our NSG operating segment is composed of our NAND memory business. Refer to "Note 8: Acquisitions and Divestitures" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information on the pending divestiture of our NAND memory business.
We have an “all other”"all other" category that includes revenue, expenses, and charges such as:
results of operations from non-reportable segments not otherwise presented;
historical results of operations from divested businesses;
results of operations of start-up businesses that support our initiatives, including our foundry business;initiatives;
amounts included within restructuring and other charges;
a portion of employee benefits, compensation, and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments;segments (beginning the first quarter of 2022, this includes all of our stock-based compensation); and
acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill.
The CODM, who is our CEO, does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue. We do not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Although the CODM uses operating income to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for Intel as a whole.

Table of Contents

The CODM, who is our CEO, allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about the operating segment's revenue and operating income (loss). The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information and we do not identify or allocate assets by operating segments. Based on the interchangeable nature of our manufacturing and assembly and test assets, most of the related depreciation expense is not directly identifiable within our operating segments, as it is included in overhead cost pools and subsequently absorbed into inventory as each product passes through our manufacturing process. Because our products are then sold across multiple operating segments, it is impracticable to determine the total depreciation expense included as a component of each operating segment's operating income (loss) results. We do not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, share-based compensation, or taxes to operating segments. Although the CODM uses operating income to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for Intel as a whole. There have been no changes to our segment accounting policies disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K except for the organizational changes and the change in allocation of stock-based compensation expense described above.

Note 3 :Earnings Per Share
We computed basic earnings per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We computed diluted earnings per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock from employee equity incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding RSUs, and the assumed issuance of common stock under the stock purchase plan.
Securities which would have been anti-dilutive are insignificant and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in all periods presented.
Note 4 :Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of prepayments received from customers on long-term prepaid supply agreements toward future product delivery and other revenue deferrals from regular ongoing business activity. Contract liabilities were $351 million as of September 25, 2021 ($1.9 billion as of December 26, 2020).
The following table shows the changes in contract liability balances relating to long-term prepaid supply agreements during the first nine months of 2021:

Prepaid supply agreements balance as of December 26, 2020$1,625
Concession payment(950)
Prepaids utilized(627)
Prepaid supply agreements balance as of September 25, 2021$48
During the first quarter of 2021, we settled an agreement with our largest prepaid customer whose prepayment balance made up $1.6 billion of our contract liability balance as of December 26, 2020. We returned $950 million to the customer and recognized $584 million in revenue for having completed performance of the prepaid supply agreement. The prepaid supply agreement is excluded from the NAND memory business and is recorded as Corporate revenue in the first nine months of 2021 in the "all other" category presented in "Note 2: Operating Segments" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include non-marketable equity securities and equity method investments that have not been remeasured or impaired in the current period, grants receivable, and issued debt.
We classify the fair value of grants receivable and reverse repurchase agreements with original maturities greater than three months as Level 2. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value. The aggregate carrying value of grants receivable as of September 25, 2021April 2, 2022 was $399$335 million (the aggregate carrying value of grants receivable as of December 26, 202025, 2021 was $139$317 million). The aggregate carrying value of reverse repurchase agreements with original maturities greater than three months as of April 2, 2022 was $400 million (the aggregate carrying value as of December 25, 2021 was $0).
We classify the fair value of issued debt (excluding commercial paper, drafts payable, and drafts payable)finance leases) as Level 2. The fair value of these instrumentsour issued debt was $44.6$38.1 billion as of September 25, 2021April 2, 2022 ($40.941.5 billion as of December 26, 2020)25, 2021).

Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various legal proceedings, including those noted in this section. In the first quarter of 2021, we accrued a charge of $2.2 billion related to litigation involving VLSI, described below. Excluding this charge, management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends; however, legal proceedings and related government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices, or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends. We might also conclude that settling one or more such matters is in the best interests of our stockholders, employees, and customers, and any such settlement could include substantial payments. Except as specifically described below, we have not concluded that settlement of any of the legal proceedings noted in this section is appropriate at this time.
European Commission Competition Matter
In 2001, the ECEuropean Commission (EC) commenced an investigation regarding claims by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) that we used unfair business practices to persuade customers to buy our microprocessors. We received numerous requests for information and documents from the EC and we responded to each of those requests. The EC issued a Statement of Objections in July 2007 and held a hearing on that Statement in March 2008. The EC issued a Supplemental Statement of Objections in July 2008. In May 2009, the EC issued a decision finding that we had violated Article 82 of the EC Treaty and Article 54 of the European Economic Area Agreement. In general, the EC found that we violated Article 82 (later renumbered as Article 102 by a new treaty) by offering alleged "conditional rebates and payments" that required our customers to purchase all or most of their x86 microprocessors from us. The EC also found that we violated Article 82 by making alleged "payments to prevent sales of specific rival products." The EC imposed a fine in the amount of €1.1 billion ($1.4 billion as of May 2009), which we subsequently paid during the third quarter of 2009, and ordered us to "immediately bring to an end the infringement referred to in" the EC decision.
The EC decision contained no specific direction on whether or how we should modify our business practices. Instead, the decision stated that we should "cease and desist" from further conduct that, in the EC's opinion, would violate applicable law. We took steps, which are subject to the EC's ongoing review, to comply with that decision pending appeal. We had discussions with the EC to better understand the decision and to explain changes to our business practices.
We appealed the EC decision to the Court of First Instance (which has been renamed the General Court) in July 2009. The hearing of our appeal took place in July 2012. In June 2014, the General Court rejected our appeal in its entirety. In August 2014, we filed an appeal with the European Court of Justice. In November 2014, Intervener Association for Competitive Technologies filed comments in support of Intel’s grounds of appeal. The EC and interveners filed briefs in November 2014, we filed a reply in February 2015, and the EC filed a rejoinder in April 2015. The Court of Justice held oral argument in June 2016. In October 2016, Advocate General Wahl, an advisor to the Court of Justice, issued a non-binding advisory opinion that favored Intel on a number of grounds. The Court of Justice issued its decision in September 2017, setting aside the judgment of the General Court and sending the case back to the General Court to examine whether the rebates at issue were capable of restricting competition. The General Court has appointed a panel of five judges to consider our appeal of the EC’s 2009 decision in light of the Court of Justice’s clarifications of the law. In November 2017, the parties filed initial “Observations” about the Court of Justice’s decision and the appeal and were invited by the General Court to offer supplemental comments to each other’s “Observations,” which the parties submitted in March 2018. Responses to other questions posed by the General Court were filed in May and June 2018. The2018, and the General Court heard oral argument in March 2020. PendingIn January 2022, the finalGeneral Court issued a decision in this matter,annulling the EC's findings against Intel regarding rebates as well as the fine paid byimposed on Intel, has been placedwhich was returned to Intel in February 2022. In April 2022, the EC appealed the General Court's decision to the Court of Justice. Given the procedural posture and the nature of this proceeding, including the need to review and assess the claims and arguments made in the appeal, which seeks an order that would require a further proceeding and decision by the EC in commercial bank accounts where it accrues interest.

Litigation Related to Security Vulnerabilities
In June 2017, a Google research team (GPZ) notified us and other companies that it had identified security vulnerabilities (now commonly referred to as “Spectre” and “Meltdown”) that affect many types of microprocessors, including our products. As is standard when findings like these are presented, we worked together with other companies in the industry to verify the research and develop and validate software and firmware updates for impacted technologies. On January 3,2, 2018, information on the security vulnerabilities was publicly reported, before software and firmware updates to address the vulnerabilities were made widely available.
Following various lawsuits that allege a variety of common law and statutory claims, including claims sounding in fraud and unfair trade practices, and in anticipation of defending against those claims, we evaluated the potential impact on our business and operations from the aforesaid litigation and security vulnerabilities. To date, we do not expect a material financial impact on our business or operations.
Numerous lawsuits have been filed against Intel and, in certain cases, our current and former executives and directors, in U.S. federal and state courts and in certain courts in other countries relating to the Spectre and Meltdown security vulnerabilities, as well as other variants of these vulnerabilities that have since been identified.

As of October 20, 2021,April 27 2022 , consumer class action lawsuits relating to the above class of security vulnerabilities publicly disclosed since 2018 were pending in the United States, Canada, and Israel. The plaintiffs, who purport to represent various classes of purchasers of our products, generally claim to have been harmed by Intel's actions and/or omissions in connection with the security vulnerabilities and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages and equitable relief. In the United States, numerous individual class action suits filed in various jurisdictions were consolidated in April 2018 for all pretrial proceedings in the U.S.United States District Court for the District of Oregon. In March 2020, the court granted Intel's motion to dismiss the complaint in that consolidated action but granted plaintiffs leave to amend. In March 2021, the court granted Intel’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint, but granted plaintiffs leave to further amend in part. Plaintiffs filed a further amended complaint in May 2021 whichIn January 2022, the court dismissed with prejudice all claims relating to Intel's alleged conduct before September 1, 2017, and otherwise denied Intel's motion to dismiss. In February 2022, Intel moved for reconsideration and/or permission to dismiss in July 2021.appeal immediately on the claims that were not dismissed. In Canada, in one case pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, an initial status conference has not yet been scheduled. In a second case pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Quebec, a stay of the case iswas in effect until December 2021.2021,and the parties' joint request for a further stay to May 2022 is pending with the court. In Israel, two consumer class action lawsuits were filed in the District Court of Haifa. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the first lawsuit in July 2021.2021, Intel filed a motion to stay the second case pending resolution of the consolidated proceeding in the United States, and a hearing on that motion has been scheduled for AprilMay 2022. Additional lawsuits and claims may be asserted seeking monetary damages or other related relief. We dispute the pending claims described above and intend to defend those lawsuits vigorously. Given the procedural posture and the nature of those cases, including that the pending proceedings are in the early stages, that alleged damages have not been specified, that uncertainty exists as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class or classes if certified, and that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from those matters.
In addition to these lawsuits, Intel stockholders filed multiple shareholder derivative lawsuits since January 2018 against certain current and former members of our Board of Directors and certain current and former officers, alleging that the defendants breached their duties to Intel in connection with the disclosure of the security vulnerabilities and the failure to take action in relation to alleged insider trading. The complaints sought to recover damages from the defendants on behalf of Intel. Some of the derivative actions were filed in the U.S.United States District Court for the Northern District of California and were consolidated, and the others were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in San Mateo County and were consolidated. The federal court granted defendants' motion to dismiss in August 2018 on the ground that plaintiffs failed to plead facts sufficient to show they were excused from making a pre-lawsuit demand on the Board. The federal court granted plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint, but subsequently dismissed the cases in January 2019 at plaintiffs' request. The California Superior Court entered judgment in defendants' favor in August 2020 after granting defendants' motions to dismiss plaintiffs' consolidated complaint and three successive amended complaints, all for failure to plead facts sufficient to show plaintiffs were excused from making a pre-lawsuit demand on the Board. Plaintiffs filed a noticeappealed, and in March 2022 the California Court of appealAppeal affirmed the judgment of the California court's judgment in October 2020.Superior Court.
In January 2021, another Intel stockholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the Superior Court in San Mateo County against certain current and former officers and members of our Board of Directors. The lawsuit asserts claims similar to those dismissed in August 2020, except that it alleges that the stockholder made a pre-lawsuit demand on our Board of Directors and that the demand was wrongfully refused. In May 2021, the court granted defendants' motion to stay the action pending the outcome of any litigation plaintiff may choose to file in Delaware where Intel’s bylaws require such claims be filed.

A trial proceedings have occurred or are yet scheduledhearing in these lawsuits. In December 2019, Lenovo tendered indemnity to Intel, which Intel grantedthe third lawsuit was held in March 2020.January 2022, but no ruling has been issued. In July 2020, Intel and Lenovo filed invalidation requests on the '226 patent with the CNIPA. The CNIPA heard oral argumentarguments in December 2020, during which IMECAS proposed amendments to two claims. TheIn April 2021, the CNIPA ruled in April 2021upheld the validity of the challenged and amended claims on both invalidation requests, finding the two amended claims as well as the unamended claims not invalid.requests. Intel and Lenovo filed complaints in July 2021 with the Beijing IP Court challenging the April 2021 CNIPA rulings.rulings; the Beijing IP Court held oral arguments in October 2021.
Given the procedural posture and the nature of these cases, the unspecified nature and extent of damages claimed by IMECAS, and uncertainty regarding the availability of injunctive relief under applicable law, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, arising from these matters. We dispute IMECAS’s claims and intend to vigorously defend against them.
VLSI Technology LLC v. Intel
In October 2017, VLSI Technology LLC (VLSI) filed a complaint against Intel in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging infringement of eight patents acquired from NXP Semiconductors, N.V. (NXP). The patents, which originated at Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. and NXP B.V., are U.S. Patent Nos. 7,268,588; 7,675,806; 7,706,207; 7,709,303; 8,004,922; 8,020,014; 8,268,672; and 8,566,836. VLSI accuses various FPGA and processor products of infringement. VLSI estimated its damages to be as high as $7.1at least $5.5 billion, and its complaint further sought enhanced damages, future royalties, attorneys’ fees, and costs and interest. In May, June, September, and October 2018, Intel filed IPR petitions challenging the patentability of certain claims in all eight of the patents in-suit. The PTAB instituted review of six patents and denied institution on two patents. As a result of the institution decisions, the parties stipulated to stay the District Court action in March 2019. In December 2019 and February 2020, the PTAB found all claims of the '588 and '303 patents, and some claims of the '922 patent, to be unpatentable. The PTAB found the challenged claims of the '014, '672, and '207 patents to be patentable. Intel appealed the PTAB's decision as to '014, '672 and '207 patents. The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB's decision as to the '672 and '207 patents, but reversed and remanded as to the '014 patent. Intel moved for a continuation of the stay in March 2020 as it appealed certain rulings bypending the PTAB.appeal. In June 2020, the District Court issued an order continuing the stay through August 2021 and setting trial for December 2022. The Federal Circuit has thus far affirmed the PTAB’s decisions as to the ‘207 and ‘672 patents, and reversed the PTAB’s decision as to the ‘014 patent.2021. The court lifted the stay in September 2021.

2021, and scheduled a trial for March 2024.
In June 2018, VLSI filed a second suit against Intel, in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement by various Intel processors of five additional patents acquired from NXP: U.S. Patent Nos. 6,212,663; 7,246,027; 7,247,552; 7,523,331; and 8,081,026. VLSI accused Intel of willful infringement and seeks an injunction or, in the alternative, ongoing royalties, enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and interest. In March 2019, the District Court dismissed VLSI’s claims for willful infringement as to all the patents-in-suit except the ‘027 patent, and also dismissed VLSI’s allegations of indirect infringement as to the ‘633, ‘331, and ‘026 patents. In June 2019, Intel filed requests for inter partes review ofIPR petitions challenging the patentability of certain claims in all five patents-in-suit. In January 2020, the District Court vacated an earlier November 2020 trial date based on agreement of the parties; no trial date is currently set. In January 2020, VLSI said that it was no longer asserting any claims of the ‘633 patent. In January and February 2020, the PTAB instituted review of the '552, '633, '331 and '026 patents, but declined to institute review on the '027 patent. As a result, Intel moved for stay of the District Court proceedings. In May 2020, the District Court stayed the case as to the '026 and '552 patents but allowed the case to proceed on the '027 and '331 patents. In January 2021, the PTAB invalidated certain asserted claims of the ‘026 patent, and in February the PTAB invalidated all asserted claims of the ‘552 patent. IntelBoth parties filed a noticenotices of appeal regarding the PTAB’s decision as to the ‘026 patent in March 2021, and in April 2021, VLSI filed a notice of appeal of the PTAB's decision as to the '552 patent. The case remains stayed as to that patent and the '552 patent.both of those patents. For the '027 and '331 patents, VLSI is seeking damages of approximately $4.13 billion plus enhanced damages for the '027 patent. The deadline to fileIntel filed motions for summary judgment motions and challenges to exclude testimony from VLSI's expert witnesses, is in January 2022.but the court has not yet ruled on these motions or set a trial date.
In March 2019, VLSI filed a third suit against Intel, also in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of six more patents acquired from NXP: U.S. Patent Nos. 6,366,522; 6,663,187; 7,292,485; 7,606,983; 7,725,759; and 7,793,025. In April 2019, VLSI voluntarily dismissed this Delaware case without prejudice. In April 2019, VLSI filed three new infringement suits against Intel in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (WDTX) accusing various Intel processors of infringement. The three suits collectively assert the same six patents from the voluntarily dismissed Delaware case plus two additional patents acquired from NXP, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,523,373 and 8,156,357. VLSI accuses Intel of willful infringement and seeks an injunction or, in the alternative, ongoing royalties, enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and interest. In the first Texas case, VLSI asserted the ‘373 and ‘759 patents (in December 2020 the court granted Intel summary judgment of non-infringement on the ‘357 patent, which had also been asserted in the first Texas case). That case went to trial in February 2021, and the jury awarded a “lump sum” to VLSI of $1.5 billion for literal infringement of the ‘373 patent and $675 million for infringement under the doctrine of equivalents of the ‘759 patent. The jury found that Intel had not willfully infringed either patent. Intel plans to challenge the verdict in post-trial motions and on appeal. Intel has challenged the verdict with post-trial motions, including filing in May 2021 a motion for a new trial, andwhich the court denied in August, a motion for judgment as a matter of law that the ‘373 and ‘759 patents are not infringed and the ‘759 patent is invalid.invalid, and a motion that VLSI is entitled to no damages, both of which the court denied in March 2022. The court deniedentered final judgment following the motion for newfirst trial in August 2021,Texas on April 21, 2022, but other post-trial motions, including the motion for judgment as a matter of law, remain pending. If the court does not vacate the verdict Intel will challenge it on appeal.judgement remains under seal.
The second Texas case went to trial in April 2021, and the jury found that Intel does not infringe the ‘522 and ‘187 patents. VLSI had sought approximately $3 billion for alleged infringement of those patents, plus enhanced damages for willful infringement. The court has not yet entered final judgment following second trial in Texas.

The third Texas case is scheduledhad been set for trial in December 2021, andApril 2022 but was cancelled after the first day due to a Covid-19 outbreak. A new trial date has not been set. In that case, VLSI seeksinitially sought approximately $2.2 billion to- $2.4 billion for alleged infringement of the ‘983, ‘025 and ‘485 patents, plus enhanced damages for willful infringement. In April 2022, VLSI informed the Court that it would not present an infringement case at trial for the '025 patent. Later in April 2022, VLSI informed the Court that it would not present willful infringement or an infringement case for the '485 patent at trial. This limits VLSI's damages demand to approximately $1 billion for the alleged infringement of the '983 patent. In October and November 2019, and in February 2020, Intel filed IPR petitions on certain asserted claims across six of the patents-in-suit in WDTX. Between May and October 2020, the PTAB denied all of these requestspetitions on a discretionary basis and without reviewing the merits. Intel requested a rehearing, as well as review from the POPPrecedential Opinion Panel (POP) as to all petitions. All requests for POP review were denied in October and December 2020, and all requests for rehearing were denied as to all petitions between December 2020 and February 2021.denied. Intel filed notices of appeal regarding the discretionary denials for all petitions in February and March of 2021, and VLSI moved to dismiss those appeals in March 2021. The CourtFederal Circuit dismissed the appeals in May 2021 and Intel petitionedfor lack of jurisdiction. The Federal Court denied Intel's petition for hearing en banc in JuneAugust 2021. The Federal CircuitIn March 2022, the Supreme Court denied theIntel's petition in August 2021.for writ of certiorari.
In May 2019, VLSI filed a case in Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court against Intel, Intel (China) Co., Ltd., Intel Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Intel Products (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. VLSI asserts Chinese Patent 201410094015.9 accusing certain Intel Core processors of infringement. VLSI requests an injunction as well as RMB 1 million in damages and RMB 300 thousand in expenses. Defendants filed an invalidation petition in October 2019 with the CNIPA, which held a hearing in September 2021. The CNIPA has not yet issued a decision. In May 2020, defendants filed a motion to stay the trial court proceedings pending a determination on invalidity. The court held the first evidentiary hearing in November 2020 and the second in July 2021. The court also held trial proceedings in the hearing in July 2021 and concluded that further trial proceedings were needed but indicated those would be stayed pending the outcome of defendants’ invalidity challenge at the CNIPA. In July 2021, VLSI dismissed its case, but refiled it in August 2021. VLSI seeks an injunction in its newly filed case, as well as RMB 1.3 million in costs and expenses, but no damages. In November 2021, Intel moved for a stay of the August 2021 action pending a ruling on invalidity. The court has not yet ruled on that motion.
In May 2019, VLSI filed a second case in Shanghai Intellectual Property Court against Intel (China) Co., Ltd., Intel Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Intel Products (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. VLSI asserts Chinese Patent 201080024173.7. VLSI accuses certain Intel Core processors and seeks an injunction, as well as RMB 1 million in damages and RMB 300 thousand in expenses. Defendants filed with the CNIPA an invalidation petition in October 2019, and the CNIPA held a hearing in September 2021, but has not yet issued a decision. In June 2020, defendants filed a motion to stay the trial court proceedings pending a determination on invalidity. The court held its first evidentiary hearing in September 2020. The court held a second evidentiary hearing in December 2020, and a trial the same month. At trial, VLSI dropped its monetary damages claim, but still requested expenses (RMB 300 thousand) and an injunction. The court held a second evidentiary hearing in December 2020. The court has not yet issued a decision following the trial. Rather, the court stayed the case in December 2020 pending a determination on invalidity by the CNIPA.

In November 2019, Intel, along with Apple Inc., filed a complaint against Fortress Investment Group LLC, Fortress Credit Co. LLC, Uniloc 2017 LLC, Uniloc USA, Inc., Uniloc Luxembourg S.A.R.L., VLSI, INVT SPE LLC, Inventergy Global, Inc., DSS Technology Management, Inc., IXI IP, LLC, and Seven Networks, LLC. Plaintiffs allege violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act by certain defendants, Section 7 of the Clayton Act by certain defendants, and California Business and Professions Code section 17200 by all defendants based on defendants' unlawful aggregation of patents. In February 2020 defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint. In July 2020,and 2021, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismisstwice dismissed plaintiffs' complaint with leave to amend. The court dismissed antitrust claims related to two DSS patents with prejudice. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in August 2020, and defendants moved to dismiss in September 2020. The court heard defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint in December 2020 and dismissed plaintiffs’ amended complaint in January 2021, with leave to further amend. In December 2020, the court granted a joint motion by Apple and Seven Networks to dismiss with prejudice Apple’s claims against Seven Networks. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in March 2021. Defendants moved to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in May 2021. Apple withdrew from the case and dismissed its claims in June 2021. The court heard defendants’ motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in September 2021, and dismissed Intel’s claims with prejudice that same month, entering judgment in favor of defendants. Intel filed a notice of appeal in December 2021 and filed its opening brief in February 2022.
In June 2020, affiliates controlled by Fortress Investment Group, which also controls VLSI, acquired Finjan Holdings, Inc. Intel had signed a “Settlement, Release and Patent License Agreement” with Finjan in 2012, acquiring a license to the patents of Finjan and its affiliates, current or future, through a capture period of November 20, 2022. The agreement also contains covenants wherein Finjan agrees to cause its affiliates to comply with the agreement. As such, Intel maintains that it now has a license to the patents of VLSI, which has become a Finjan affiliate, and that Finjan must cause VLSI to dismiss its suits against Intel. In August 2020, Intel started dispute resolution proceedings under the agreement. As a part of this dispute resolution process, Intel and Finjan held a mediation in December 2020, but failed to resolve their differences. Intel filed suit to enforce its rights under the License Agreement with Finjan in January 2021 in Delaware Chancery Court. In March 2021, defendants filed motions to dismiss the Chancery Court proceedings. The court heard those motions in May 2021, and dismissed all of Intel’s claims—except the breach of contract claim—with prejudice in September 2021 for lack of jurisdiction because, the court reasoned, Intel’s license defense has been raised in the other U.S. suits between Intel and VLSI and could be adjudicated in one of those actions. The court stayed Intel’s breach of contract claim pending a determination on whether Intel is licensed to VLSI’s patents. In September 2020, Intel filed motions to stay the Texas, Delaware, and Shanghai matters pending resolution of its dispute with Finjan. In November 2020, Intel filed a motion to stay the Shenzhen matter pending resolution of its dispute with Finjan. In November 2020, the Delaware courtCourt denied Intel’s motion to stay. The other stay motions remain pending. Finally, Intel filed a motion to amend its answer in the Texas matters to add a license defense in November 2020, and filed a motion to amend its answer in the Delaware matter to add a license defense in February 2021. The Texas court has not yet ruled on Intel’s motion to amend, but the Delaware courtCourt granted Intel’sIntel's motion in July 2021.2021, but in March 2022, the Texas Court denied Intel's motion, holding, among other things, that it would be futile for Intel to add the license defense as it would not be meritorious.

In June 2021, OpenSky Industries LLC (OpenSky) requested IPR of certain claims of the '373 and '759 patents, including the ones a jury said Intel infringes. Both petitions copied Intel's earlier petitions, and used the expert declarations previously submitted by Intel. Another entity named Patent Quality Assurance LLC (PQA) also petitioned for IPR of certain claims of the '373 patent, including ones a jury said Intel infringes. PQA also largely copied Intel's petition, but (1) added a challenge to an additional claim and (2) included newly signed declarations from Intel's experts. In December 2021, the PTAB instituted OpenSky's petition on the '759 patent, but declined to institute on the '373 patent. In December 2021, Intel filed a motion to join OpenSky's '759 IPR. That motion remains pending. In January 2022, the PTAB instituted PQA's petition on the '373 patent. In February, Intel filed a motion to join PQA's petition. That motion also remains pending.
After consideration of the verdicts in the WDTX cases and the additional pending lawsuits filed by VLSI, Intel accrued a charge of $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2021. We dispute VLSI’s claims and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Litigation Related to 7nm Product Delay Announcement
Starting in July 2020, five securities class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S.United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Intel and certain current and former officers based on Intel’s July 2020 announcement of 7nm product delays. The plaintiffs, who purport to represent classes of acquirers of Intel stock between October 2019 and July 2020, generally allege that the defendants violated securities laws by making false or misleading statements about the timeline for 7nm products in light of subsequently announced delays. In October 2020, the court consolidated the lawsuits, and appointed lead plaintiffs, and in January 2021 the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint in March 2021. We dispute the claims described above and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously. Given the procedural posture and the nature of those cases, including that the pending proceedings are in the early stages, that alleged damages have not been specified, that uncertainty exists as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class or classes if certified, and that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from those matters. In July 2021, Intel introduced a new process node naming structure, and the 7nm process is now Intel 4.

Revenue in Q3was $219 million, up $38 million from Q1 2021. We had an operating loss of $390 million, down $214 million from Q1 2021 was up 10% on higher platform volume and higher ASPs, primarily due to recovery in the enterpriseincreased reserves and government market segment, compared to COVID-driven lows, and stronger core mix, partially offset by lower revenue in the cloud service providers market segment compared to a strong, COVID-driven Q3 2020. Adjacent revenue was down, primarily due to accelerated 5G networking related purchases in Q3 2020, partially offset by the inclusion of the Intel Optane memory business, which grew year over year. Year over year, the enterprise and government market segment was up 70%, the communications service providers market segment was up 18% and the cloud service providers market segment was down 20%.
Revenue YTD 2021 was down 7% compared to YTD 2020 on lower ASPs in a competitive environment, product mix, and on lower platform volume compared to a strong, COVID-driven YTD 2020.
During Q3 2021, demand for DCG products was adversely impacted by industry component supply constraints, as well as demand softness in China, including among cloud service provider customers, as customers adapt to regulatory changes. We expect these trends to continue in Q4 2021.roadmap investments.

Q1 2022 vs. Q1 2021
Our Q1 2022 revenue was $18.4 billion, down $1.3 billion or 7% from Q1 2021. CCG was down 13% due to lower notebook and desktop volume, partially offset by higher notebook and desktop ASPs, and lower revenue due to the continued ramp down from the exit of our 5G smartphone modem business. Notebook volume declined driven by lower demand in the consumer and education market segments following a supply chain inventory digestion cycle compared to COVID-driven highs in Q1 2021, while desktop demand also declined in consumer and education. DCAI revenue increased 22% on higher server volume due to demand from hyperscale customer-related products and continued recovery from COVID-driven lows in Q1 2021, partially offset by lower server ASPs due to customer and product mix. NEX revenue increased 23% on strong demand for cloud networking and post-COVID transformation of the edge. The decrease in our "all other" revenue reflects revenue of $1.1 billion in Q1 2021 related to the divested NAND memory business for which historical results are recorded in “all other”, and $584 million of revenue recognized in Q1 2021 from a prepaid customer supply customer.
Gross Margin
We derived a substantial majority of our overall gross margin from the sale of products in the CCG and DCAI operating segments. Our overall gross margin dollars in Q1 2022 decreased by $1.6 billion, or 15% compared to Q1 2021.

Q3 2021 vs. Q3 2020
Our Q3 2021 revenue was $19.2 billion, up $859 million from Q3 2020. DCG revenue grew 10% on higher platform volume and higher platform ASPs, primarily due to recovery in the enterprise and government market segment compared to COVID-driven lows, and stronger core mix, partially offset by lower revenue in the cloud service providers market segment compared to a COVID-driven Q3 2020. IOTG and Mobileye were both up primarily on higher demand amid recovery from the economic impacts of COVID-19. CCG was down 2% due to lower notebook volume and adjacent revenue, partially offset by higher platform ASPs and increased desktop volume. Notebook volume declined in the consumer and education market segments due to industry-wide component shortages. Platform ASPs were higher in both notebook and desktop from a higher mix of large core products. Desktop demand strengthened due to consumer and commercial recovery from COVID-19 lows. NSG was down 4% primarily due to supply chain constraints, lower ASPs due to mix shift, and due to the transfer of the Intel Optane memory business to DCG, partially offset by higher volume.
We saw impacts from ongoing industry component and substrate shortages across a majority of our businesses and we expect these constraints to continue.
YTD 2021 vs. YTD 2020
Our YTD 2021 revenue was $58.5 billion, up $607 million or 1% from YTD 2020. CCG was up 4% due to continued strength in notebook demand and continued recovery in desktop demand, partially offset by lower notebook and desktop ASPs due to strength in the consumer and education market segments. IOTG and Mobileye were both up 32% and 62%, respectively, on higher demand amid recovery from the economic impacts of COVID-19. Our "all other" revenue increased primarily due to $584 million from a prepaid supply agreement settled in Q1 2021. DCG decreased 7% on lower ASPs in a competitive environment, product mix, and on lower platform volume compared to a strong, COVID-driven YTD 2020. NSG was down 20% primarily due to lower ASPs, partially offset by higher volume.

Gross Margin
We derived a substantial majority of our overall gross margin from the sale of platform products in the CCG and DCG operating segments. Our overall gross margin dollars in Q3 2021 increased by $1.0 billion, or 10% compared to Q3 2020.
Earlier this year, we announced our IDM 2.0 strategy, in which we announced our plans to continue to build a majority of our products in Intel fabs, to expand our use of third-party foundry capacity, and to build a world-class foundry business. As part of our IDM 2.0 strategy, we also announced plans to significantly expand our manufacturing capacity and goals related to process technology and product leadership. While we are analyzing the investment plans required to achieve our objectives, we anticipate that we will accelerate our investments in manufacturing capacity and R&D, including for our process technology roadmap, to position the company for accelerating revenue growth. With the impact of these investments, we anticipate that our gross margin will be approximately in the 51-53%1 range for the next two or three years before moving upward.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S.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. Certain of these non-GAAP financial measures are used in our performance-based RSUs and our annual cash bonus plan.
Long-term gross margin outlook range is provided on a non-GAAP basis and excludes the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. It also assumes the completion ofStarting in the first closingquarter of 2022, we incrementally exclude from our non-GAAP results, share-based compensation and all gains and losses on equity investments. The adjustment for all gains and losses on equity investments includes the divestiture ofongoing mark-to-market adjustments previously excluded from our NAND business prior to such periods. We are unable to provide a full reconciliation of this measure to the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, as the amount and timing of such adjustments on a long-term basis are subject to considerable uncertainty. We believe such a reconciliation would also imply a degree of precision that is inappropriate for this forward-looking measure.non-GAAP results.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated using an appropriate tax rate for each adjustment. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S.US GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S.US GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

While the core operationssecond closing of the company. While the sale of the NAND memory business is still pending and subject to closing conditions, management does not currently view the historical results of the business as part of the company’s core operations or its long-term strategic direction.operations. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of the company’s core business model and how management currently evaluates core operational performance. We believe they also provide investors with an additional means to understand the potential impact of the divestiture over time. In making these adjustments, we have not made any changes to our methods for measuring and calculating revenue or other financial statement amounts.
Acquisition-related adjustmentsAmortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology, brands, and customer relationships acquired in connection with business combinations. Charges related to the amortization of these intangibles are recorded within both cost of sales and MG&A in our U.S.US GAAP financial statements. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years.We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends.
Restructuring and other chargesRestructuring charges are costs associated with a formal restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Other charges include a benefit in Q1 2022 related to the annulled EC fine, a charge in Q1 2021 related to the VLSI litigation, and periodic goodwill and asset impairments, pension charges, and costs associated with restructuring activity.We exclude restructuring and other charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.

Other Key Information
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are affected by changes in currency exchange and interest rates, as well as equity and commodity prices. Our risk management programs are designed to reduce, but may not entirely eliminate, the impacts of these risks. For discussion about market risk and sensitivity analysis related to changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, and commodity prices refer to "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" within MD&A in our 20202021 Form 10-K.
Risk Factors
The risks described in "Risk Factors" within Other Key Information in our 20202021 Form 10-K and our subsequent Form 10-Qs could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. We have updated below the risk factor included in our 2021 Form 10-K titled "Global or regional conditions can harm our financial results," which also reflects an update to the allocation of revenues by region. As discussed below, the impact of the war in Ukraine can also exacerbate other risks discussed in the Risk Factors sections of our 2021 Form 10-K and this report, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us. The Risk Factors section in our 2021 Form 10-K otherwise remains current in all material respects. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face—our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Refer also to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including in the Forward-Looking Statements, MD&A, and Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Supplemental Details sections.
Global or regional conditions can harm our financial results. We have manufacturing, assembly and test, R&D, sales, and other operations in many countries, and some of our business activities are concentrated in one or more geographic areas. Moreover, sales outside the US accounted for 86% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, with revenue from billings to China contributing 29% of our total revenue. As a result, our operations and our financial results, including our ability to execute our business strategy, manufacture, assemble and test, design, develop, or sell products, and the demand for our products, are at times adversely affected by a number of global and regional factors outside of our control.
Adverse changes in global or regional economic conditions periodically occur, including recession or slowing growth, changes or uncertainty in fiscal, monetary, or trade policy, higher interest rates, tighter credit, inflation, lower capital expenditures by businesses including on IT infrastructure, increases in unemployment, and lower consumer confidence and spending. Adverse changes in economic conditions, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, can significantly harm demand for our products and make it more challenging to forecast our operating results and make business decisions, including regarding prioritization of investments in our business. An economic downturn or increased uncertainty may also lead to increased credit and collectability risks, higher borrowing costs or reduced availability of capital and credit markets, reduced liquidity, adverse impacts on our suppliers, failures of counterparties including financial institutions and insurers, asset impairments, and declines in the value of our financial instruments.
We can be adversely affected by other global and regional factors that periodically occur, including:
geopolitical and security issues, such as armed conflict and civil or military unrest, political instability, human rights concerns, and terrorist activity, including, for example, geopolitical tensions and conflict affecting Israel, where our Mobileye business headquarters and certain of our fabrication facilities are located;
natural disasters, public health issues (including the COVID-19 pandemic), and other catastrophic events;
inefficient infrastructure and other disruptions, such as supply chain interruptions, materials shortages or delays, and large-scale outages or unreliable provision of services from utilities, transportation, data hosting, or telecommunications providers;
formal or informal imposition of new or revised export, import, or doing-business regulations, including trade sanctions, tariffs, and changes in the ability to obtain export licenses, which could be changed without notice;
government restrictions on, or nationalization of, our operations in any country, or restrictions on our ability to repatriate earnings from or distribute compensation or other funds in a particular country;
adverse changes relating to government grants, tax credits, or other government incentives, including more favorable incentives provided to competitors;
differing employment practices and labor issues, including restricted access to talent;
ineffective legal protection of our IP rights in certain countries;
local business and cultural factors that differ from our current standards and practices;
continuing uncertainty regarding social, political, immigration, and tax and trade policies in the US and abroad; and
fluctuations in the market values of our domestic and international investments, and in the capital and credit markets, which can be negatively affected by liquidity, credit deterioration or losses, interest rate changes, financial results, political risk, sovereign risk, or other factors.

For example, Russia and Belarus contributed less than .5% of direct sales to our total revenue for the year ended December 25, 2021. In response to Russia’s war with Ukraine, numerous countries and organizations have imposed financial and other sanctions and export controls against Russia and Belarus, while businesses, including the Company, have limited or suspended Russian operations. Russia has likewise imposed currency restrictions and regulations and may further take retaliatory trade or other actions, including the nationalization of foreign businesses. These and other actions have exposed the Company to the risks described herein; to additional uncertainty and risk regarding increases to supply, commodity, and other costs, damage to our reputation, and cyberattacks; and may increase the likelihood, or amplify the impacts, of other risks, including those highlighted in the Risk Factors section of our 2021 Form 10-K.
We are also subject to risks related to the cessation of US dollar LIBOR. Certain of our derivatives and floating-rate investments reference US dollar LIBOR, and a portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on US dollar LIBOR. No new US dollar LIBOR-based activity should be conducted after 2021, and US dollar LIBOR will be unavailable for use in our existing contracts and financial instruments beyond June 30, 2023. While reasonable alternatives to LIBOR have been introduced into markets, our transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates could result in an increase in our interest expense and/or a reduction in our interest income.
Controls and Procedures
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 25, 2021April 2, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We have an ongoing authorization, originally approved by our Board of Directors in 2005 and subsequently amended, to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions. No shares were repurchased during the quarter ending September 25, 2021.April 2, 2022. As of September 25, 2021,April 2, 2022, we were authorized to repurchase up to $110.0 billion, of which $7.2 billion remained available.
We issue RSUs as part of our equity incentive plans. In our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we treat shares of common stock withheld for tax purposes on behalf of our employees in connection with the vesting of RSUs as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase program.

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act requires an issuer to disclose certain information in its periodic reports if it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings with individuals or entities subject to specific U.S. economic sanctions during the reporting period, even when the activities, transactions, or dealings are conducted in compliance with applicable law. On March 2, 2021, the U.S. Secretary of State designated the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) as a party subject to one such sanction. From time to time, our local subsidiary is required to engage with the FSB as a licensing authority and file documents in order to conduct business within the Russian Federation. All such dealings are explicitly authorized by General License 1B issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and there are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with any such dealings by us with the FSB. We plan to continue these activities as required to conduct business in the Russian Federation to the extent permitted by applicable law.
On April 15, 2021, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated Pozitiv Teknolodzhiz, AO (Positive Technologies), a Russian IT security firm, as a party subject to one of the sanctions specified in Section 13(r). Prior to the designation, we communicated with Positive Technologies regarding its IT security research and coordinated disclosure of security vulnerabilities identified by the firm. Based on a license issued by OFAC, we resumed such communications. There are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with any such activities. We plan to continue these communications in accordance with the terms and conditions of the OFAC license.
