Exhibit 99.1
Intel First-Quarter Revenue $9.4 Billion;
Earnings Per Share 34 Cents
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2005--Intel
Corporation today announced first-quarter revenue of $9.4 billion, up
17 percent year-over-year and down 2 percent sequentially.
First-quarter net income was $2.2 billion, up 25 percent
year-over-year and up 1 percent sequentially. Earnings per share were
34 cents, up 31 percent from 26 cents in the first quarter of 2004 and
up 3 percent from 33 cents in the fourth quarter of 2004. Intel's
first quarter included an additional week of business because 2005 is
a 53-week fiscal year for the company. Last year's first-quarter
results included a legal settlement charge that reduced earnings per
share by 1.7 cents.
"Led by strong demand for our mobile products, Intel posted
double-digit revenue and profit growth versus a year ago," said Intel
CEO Craig Barrett. "Today marks the 40th anniversary of Moore's Law,
which remains the driving force behind our ability to continually
innovate and bring exciting new products to our customers around the
world. In the coming quarters we expect to carry on the pace set over
past decades by ramping our industry-leading 65nm process technology
and launching additional dual-core microprocessors for our desktop,
notebook and server platforms."
During the quarter, Intel announced a broad reorganization
bringing all major product groups in line with the company's strategy
to develop and deliver complete technology platforms based on Intel
ingredients. Intel's goal is to change its operating segment
presentation to reflect the company's new organizational structure
beginning with its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2005. The
Digital Enterprise Group and Mobility Group will be reportable
segments under the new structure, while the Digital Home Group,
Digital Health Group and Channel Platforms Group are expected to be
included in the "all other" category.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The following statements are based on current expectations. These
statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ
materially. Please see the Risk Factors Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements in this release for a description of certain important risk
factors that could cause actual results to differ, and refer to
Intel's annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) for a more complete description of the
risks. These statements do not include the potential impact of any
mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations
that may be completed after April 18, 2005.
-- Revenue in the second quarter is expected to be between $8.6
billion and $9.2 billion.
-- Gross margin percentage for the second quarter is expected to
be approximately 56 percent, plus or minus a couple of points,
as compared to 59.3 percent in the first quarter. The gross
margin percentage expectation for 2005 is now 59 percent, plus
or minus a few points, as compared to the previous expectation
of 58 percent, plus or minus a few points. The gross margin
percentage could vary from expectations based on changes in
revenue levels, product mix and pricing, manufacturing yields,
changes in unit costs, variations in inventory valuation,
excess or obsolete inventory, capacity utilization and the
existence of excess capacity, 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.
-- Expenses (R&D plus MG&A) in the second quarter are expected to
be approximately $2.6 billion. Expenses, particularly certain
marketing and compensation expenses, could vary from
expectations depending on the level of demand for Intel's
products and the level of revenue and profits.
-- The R&D spending expectation for 2005 is unchanged at
approximately $5.2 billion.
-- Capital spending for 2005 is now expected to be between $5.4
billion and $5.8 billion, higher than the previous expectation
of between $4.9 billion and $5.3 billion, driven primarily by
stronger than anticipated business and increased confidence in
the company's 65nm process technology ramp.
-- Gains from equity investments and interest and other in the
second quarter are expected to be approximately $70 million.
-- The tax rate for the second, third and fourth quarters is
currently expected to be approximately 31 percent. This
expectation does not reflect the impact of any potential
repatriation of cash under the American Jobs Creation Act. 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 jurisdiction 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.
-- Depreciation for the second quarter is expected to be $1.1
billion, plus or minus $100 million. The depreciation
expectation for the full year is unchanged at $4.4 billion,
plus or minus $100 million.
-- Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and costs is
expected to be approximately $35 million in the second quarter
and approximately $125 million for the full year.
FIRST-QUARTER REVIEW AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
Financial Review
-- The gross margin percentage was 59.3 percent, higher than the

qualification of certain new products.
-- Intel used $2.5 billion in cash to repurchase 107.9 million
shares of its common stock during the quarter under an ongoing
program.
-- The company paid a cash dividend of 8 cents per share on March
1 to stockholders of record on February 7. The company's board
of directors last year approved a doubling of the company's
quarterly cash dividend to 8 cents per share.
Key Product Trends (Sequential)
-- Total microprocessor units and the average selling price were
approximately flat. Mobile microprocessor units set a record.
-- Chipset units were lower.
