Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to report Intel's financial results for the third quarter of 2019 and to provide updated financial guidance for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year 2019. It also includes a significant announcement regarding the company's stock repurchase program.

The $20 billion increase in stock repurchase authorization indicates that Intel's Board of Directors is confident in the company's financial health and future prospects. It signals an intention to return more capital to shareholders through buying back its own stock, which can potentially increase earnings per share and signal undervaluation.

Intel uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide a view of its operations and financial performance that supplements GAAP results. Management believes these measures offer useful insights into ongoing operational performance by excluding items that may not be indicative of the company's core business, such as certain charges or gains. However, investors should carefully review the provided reconciliations to understand the differences between GAAP and non-GAAP figures and should not consider non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures.
