1 As a result of the acquisition of ATI, 2006 financial results only include the results of the former ATI operations from October 25 through December 31, 2006. Therefore, financial results for the second quarter 2007 do not correlate directly to those for the second quarter 2006.
2 In this press release, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures for operating income (loss) and gross margin to reflect its financial results without acquisition-related, integration and severance charges and employee stock-based compensation expense. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare current and historical period operating results.
“While we made solid progress in the second quarter across a number of fronts, we must improve our financial results,” said Robert J. Rivet, AMD’s Chief Financial Officer. “We achieved a 12 percent sequential revenue increase, improved the gross margin and won back microprocessor unit and revenue market share. Strong distribution channel demand, initial sales to Toshiba, and a broader adoption of AMD platforms led to a 38 percent sequential increase in microprocessor unit shipments. In addition, our Graphics business gained momentum at the end of the quarter as we began shipping the new ATI Radeon HD™ 2000 family of graphics processors.
“We continue to focus on realigning our business model and reducing our capital expenditures and cost structure in the second half of the year.”
Second quarter 2007 gross margin was 34 percent, excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and severance charges, compared to 31 percent in the first quarter of 2007 and 57 percent in the second quarter of 2006. The increase from the prior quarter was largely due to increased microprocessor unit shipments. The second quarter gross margin was impacted by a write-off of older microprocessor inventory of approximately $30 million.

Computing Solutions
Second quarter Computing Solutions segment revenue was $1.098 billion, compared with $918 million in the first quarter of 2007. The 20 percent sequential increase was primarily due to a 38 percent increase in microprocessor unit shipments, offset partially by lower average selling prices (ASPs) for desktop microprocessors. Second quarter server, mobile, and desktop microprocessor revenue increased sequentially. Mobile processor unit shipments increased 21 percent sequentially and 82 percent year-over-year.
Graphics
In the seasonally down second quarter, Graphics segment revenue of $195 million was flat from the first quarter of 2007. Initial sales of the ATI Radeon HD 2000 family of graphics processors were strong in the channel, and design win momentum with key mobile and desktop OEMs continues to grow.
Consumer Electronics
Second quarter Consumer Electronics segment revenue was $85 million, compared with $118 million in the first quarter of 2007. The sequential revenue decline of 28 percent was largely the result of lower handheld unit sales and revenue, partially offset by increased digital TV processor revenue.
