10-QPeriod: Q1 FY2025

INTEL CORP Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 29, 2025

Filed April 25, 2025For Securities:INTC

Summary

Intel Corporation's Q1 2025 filing reveals a slight decline in net revenue to $12.67 billion from $12.72 billion in the prior year's comparable quarter, primarily impacted by a decrease in the Client Computing Group (CCG) segment. This revenue dip was partially offset by growth in the Data Center and AI (DCAI) segment and a significant increase in the 'All Other' category, largely driven by Mobileye. The company reported a net loss attributable to Intel of $821 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, a deterioration from a net loss of $381 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in Q1 2024. This loss reflects increased cost of sales, partly due to inventory reserves for Gaudi AI accelerators and higher server unit costs, as well as a substantial reduction in gross margin. Despite these challenges, Intel Foundry's revenue saw an increase, and the company continues to execute its restructuring plan, leading to lower operating expenses across several segments, particularly in R&D and MG&A. The company also highlighted progress in its strategic initiatives, including a significant investment in new manufacturing facilities and the pending sale of a majority stake in Altera.

The overall revenue decrease was mainly due to an 8% decline in the Client Computing Group (CCG), attributed to lower client volumes and the absence of significant customer incentives offered in Q1 2024. This was partially offset by an 8% increase in Data Center and AI (DCAI) revenue, driven by higher demand from hyperscale customers and edge processing units. The 'All Other' segment saw a 47% increase, primarily due to strong performance from Mobileye.

Intel's 2024 Restructuring Plan, which includes headcount reductions and other cost-saving measures, is contributing to lower operating expenses across segments like CCG, DCAI, and R&D/MG&A. While contributing to cost efficiency, the plan's execution is ongoing and expected to be substantially complete by Q4 2025.

Intel has signed an agreement to sell a 51% stake in its Altera FPGA business to Silver Lake Partners for $4.4 billion, with the transaction anticipated to close in the second half of 2025. The company also recently completed the second phase of its NAND memory business divestiture, receiving $1.9 billion in proceeds.
