Filed August 8, 2002For Securities:INTC

Summary

Intel Corporation's (INTC) 10-Q filing for the period ending June 29, 2002, reveals flat net revenues for the second quarter compared to the prior year, driven by a slight increase in the Intel Architecture business offset by declines in the Intel Communications Group (ICG). While overall revenue remained stable, the company faced challenges including a $106 million charge for winding down its web hosting business and a $112 million impairment charge related to acquired intangibles from the Xircom acquisition. Despite these one-time impacts, operational improvements were noted in ICG, with reduced losses due to lower inventory write-downs and streamlined operating expenses. The company reported basic earnings per share of $0.07 for the quarter and $0.21 for the first half of 2002, showing an improvement from the prior year's $0.03 and $0.10 respectively. Intel's financial condition remains robust, with substantial cash and investment balances, although cash decreased from the prior year-end due to significant capital expenditures and share repurchases. The company is navigating a dynamic market, focusing on its core Intel Architecture business while managing declines in its communications segments, and is actively managing legal proceedings and strategic investments.
