Summary
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) reported a net loss of $83 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, a significant improvement from a net loss of $1.18 billion in the prior year. Net revenue for the year was $5.3 billion, a slight decrease of 2% compared to $5.4 billion in 2012. The company highlighted its progress in executing a three-phase transformation plan aimed at restructuring and repositioning AMD for growth in changing computing landscapes and adjacent high-growth markets. A key driver for revenue growth in 2013 was the Graphics and Visual Solutions segment, which saw a 55% increase primarily due to new semi-custom System-on-Chip (SOC) products for game consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), launched in late 2013. However, the Computing Solutions segment experienced a 22% decline in revenue due to challenging PC market conditions and increased competition. Despite the revenue challenges in its core computing business, AMD managed to improve its operating income to $103 million from an operating loss of $1.1 billion in 2012, largely driven by cost reductions and improved gross margins.
