10-QPeriod: Q2 FY2009

INTEL CORP Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 27, 2009

Filed August 3, 2009For Securities:INTC

Summary

Intel Corporation reported a net loss of $398 million, or $0.07 per share, for the second quarter of 2009. This loss was significantly impacted by a €1.06 billion ($1.447 billion) fine imposed by the European Commission for alleged antitrust violations, which is being appealed. Despite the net loss, the company generated strong cash flow from operations of $3.8 billion for the first half of the year, demonstrating resilience in a challenging economic environment. Net revenue for the quarter decreased by 15% year-over-year to $8.02 billion, reflecting the ongoing global economic slowdown. However, sequential revenue growth was observed, driven by an increase in microprocessor and chipset sales and the ramp-up of Intel Atom processors. Intel's gross margin percentage for the quarter was 50.8%, down from 55.4% in the prior year, primarily due to lower average selling prices and factory underutilization charges. The company is managing its expenses, with R&D spending decreasing year-over-year, though Marketing, General, and Administrative (MG&A) expenses increased significantly due to the European Commission fine. Intel's financial position remains solid, with $11.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of June 27, 2009. The company also completed the acquisition of Wind River Systems Inc. for $884 million to bolster its embedded software capabilities.
