What is the primary purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to announce Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD)'s financial results for its third quarter ended September 24, 2022, and to provide forward-looking financial guidance. It directs investors to an accompanying press release and presentation for detailed information.

What types of financial measures does AMD provide in its earnings release?

AMD provides both U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, are intended to offer a clearer view of core operating performance and aid in period-to-period comparisons.

Where can investors find more detailed financial information?

Investors can find more detailed financial information in the press release dated November 1, 2022 (Exhibit 99.1) and the Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results Presentation (Exhibit 99.2) attached to this 8-K filing. These documents also contain reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measures.

What is the significance of the information not being 'filed' for Section 18 purposes?

The information furnished under Items 2.02 and 7.01, including the attached exhibits, is generally not considered 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means that while the information is publicly disclosed, it does not carry the same legal liabilities as formally filed information under that specific section, unless it is specifically incorporated by reference into another filing.
