Intel Second-Quarter Revenue $8.05 Billion
Earnings Per Share 27 Cents
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 13, 2004 - Intel Corporation today announced second-quarter revenue of $8.05 billion, approximately flat sequentially and up 18 percent year-over-year.

Second-quarter net income was $1.8 billion, flat sequentially and up 96 percent year-over-year. Earnings per share were 27 cents, up 4 percent sequentially and up 93 percent from 14 cents in the second quarter of 2003.

"Intel continued to post strong year-over-year results in the second quarter as our microprocessor business followed seasonal trends and our communications business grew nicely, led by flash memory," said Intel CEO Craig R. Barrett. "We had a notable quarter with respect to new product launches with the introduction of 90 nm processors for mobile and the enterprise market segment along with our Grantsdale chipset for the desktop which delivers some of the most significant PC platform enhancements in a decade. Looking to the second half, we will use our investments in leading-edge capacity to drive growth in our core microprocessor business and expand our presence in chipsets, flash and other communications products."

Intel`s second-quarter results included a previously disclosed $62-million reversal of previously accrued taxes primarily related to the closing of a state income tax audit, as well as an adjustment to the effective tax rate. These items increased second-quarter earnings-per-share by 1.7 cents. Intel`s first-quarter results included a legal settlement charge that reduced earnings per share by 1.7 cents.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Please see the Risk Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this release for a description of certain risk factors that could cause actual results to differ, and refer to Intel`s annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a more complete description of the risks. These statements do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations that may be completed after July 12.

** Revenue in the third quarter is expected to be between $8.6 billion and $9.2 billion.

** Gross margin percentage in the third quarter is expected to be approximately 60 percent, plus or minus a couple of points. Intel`s gross margin percentage varies primarily with revenue levels, product mix and pricing, changes in unit costs and inventory valuation, capacity utilization, and the timing of factory ramps and associated costs.

** The gross margin percentage for 2004 is now expected to be 60 percent, plus or minus a couple of points, as compared to the previous expectation of 62 percent, plus or minus a few points. The company expects faster growth in products such as flash memories, chipsets and motherboards that have lower margins. In addition, Intel expects microprocessor margins to increase at a rate slower than previously expected due to a slight reduction in microprocessor average selling prices and a slower than expected reduction in microprocessor unit costs.

** Expenses (R&D plus MG&A) in the third quarter are expected to be approximately $2.5 billion. Expenses, particularly certain marketing- and compensation-related expenses, vary depending on the level of revenue and profits.

** The R&D spending expectation for 2004 is unchanged at approximately $4.8 billion.

** The capital spending expectation for 2004 is unchanged at between $3.6 billion and $4.0 billion.

** Gains from equity investments and interest and other in the third quarter are expected to be approximately $50 million.

** The tax rate for the third quarter is now expected to be approximately 31 percent, as compared to the previous expectation of approximately 32 percent, primarily due to an increase in the estimated tax benefit for export sales. The tax rate expectation is based on current expected income and assumes Intel continues to receive tax benefits for export sales. The tax rate may be affected by changes in tax law, the closing of acquisitions or divestitures, the jurisdiction in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed, the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities, and the ability to realize deferred tax assets.

** Depreciation is expected to be between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion in the third quarter and approximately $4.6 billion for the year.

** Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and costs is expected to be approximately $40 million in the third quarter and approximately $175 million for the full year.

[chater]

Dax wird wohl trotzdem bis 3850 abstürzen

[chater]

lang & schwarzler handeln wie die verrückten erst gings auf 3911,und jetzt gerade 3892 unglaublich diese Verbrecher

[nemaxzehntausend]

wieso verbrecher, die haben auch bloss auf die zahlen geschaut, ausserdem hab ich so noch mit mehr glück als verstand meine longs bei 3908 los bekommen

[BIOMIRA]

wie kann man da noch handeln
welcher broker ?
oder muß man dort ein konto eröffnen ?

[neutralo]

vielleicht musst morgen deine longs teuer wieder kaufen...

[maxpain]

intel nachbörslich bei 25,13 $ gegenüber 26,10 auf schlusskurs.

[boersenblasen]

jedenfalls bleibt`s morgen nicht so ruhig wie heute. irgendwie ist mein eindruck: eine menge energie hat sich da aufgestaut - trotz niedriger volatilität ist die anspannung sehr groß... werden sehn, wohin das pendel ausschlägt

[neutralo]

das alte lied, die börse und der alkoholiker..

bei guten nachrichten weint das weib, bei schlechten nachrichten lacht die alte (alte=weib= börse )

[jxfro]

Jetzt haben die Shorties in Amerika die 25 $ gesehen und das war`s dann. Ab hier geht`s dann wieder rauf.

[BartS.]

@chater:
> lang & schwarzler handeln wie die verrückten erst gings

Keine Sorge, die richten sich a) nach den nachbörslichen Kursen in den USA und b) nach der Angebot/Nachfrage-Situation der eigenen DAX-Turbos (wobei erstes wesentlich stärker ins Gewicht fällt).

[BartS.]

P.S.:
...DAX-Turbos und natürlich auch der einzelnen DAX-Werte

[maxpain]

die 25 sind durch, jetzt bei 24,90

[neutralo]

ach, da hätte kommen könne was will, das zeug wäre erst mal runter...

wäre nicht überrascht, wenn noch einem negativen start die sache sich wieder normalisiert.

schätze, freitag wird so um die 3900 abgerechnet. was danach ist, ...mal sehen..

[jxfro]

Wenn es unter 25 $ bleiben sollte, kann man ja günstig einsammeln in den nächsten Tagen. Bis Weihnachten sind wir dann wieder bei 30-35.

[Mike199]

ich finde die reaktion auch komplett übertrieben.
die zahlen waren nicht der hammer, aber ziemlich genau im rahmen des erwarteten.
jedenfalls gerechtfertigen sie keinen 5%-abschlag nachbörslich.

allerdings hoffe ich, dass zumindest nicht die ganze branche dadurch grundlos mit nach unten gezogen wird - was ich allerdings befürchte.

in 10 std wissen wir mehr

[Mike199]

AMD auch mittlerweile 4,15% im minus nachbörslich

[neutralo]

naja, klein daxiland wird sich erstmal der spiellust der amis hingeben müssen - zumindest am vormittag, wenn viel auf short eingestiegen sind...

[Christina007]

Der Intel-Vorsitzende von Deutschland hat soeben
mitgeteilt, dass die Umsatzerwartungen für die
2 Jahreshälfte hochgeschraubt werden: Aktuell
8.6 bis 9.2 Mrd Dollar / vorher 8.3 bis 8.7 Mrd.

[neutralo]

@christina

das ging schon aus der veröffentlichung hervor!

morgen heisst für long, zähne zusammenbeissen und abwarten und hoffen, dass nabil die sintflut ausruft...
dann besteht chanc auf eine wende...

[Christina007]

Die Reaktion der Börse ist zur Zeit sowieso stubid.
Hier werden wieder mal ein paar Spielchen hinter den
Kulissen geschoben.
Momentan werden die Kurse von den grossen Haien in den
Keller getrieben um anschliessend wieder gross abzusahnen.

Nachbörsliche Kurse werde oft für solche Spielchen
missbraucht.....

[BeWu]

Wetten, dass intc morgen im Plus schließen wird!!!

[Nickelz]

also, wenn man sich die Meldung durchliest,
hört sich daß nach einer versteckten Gewinnwarnung
an. (Margen runter)

[neutralo]

@christina

börse und kulissentreiben : normal

abzusahnen: viele müssen einer meinung sein, damit wenige ihren reibach machen; das ist das spiel der börse.

spielchen: immer und immer wieder.

[Upturner]

KGV von ca. 25

das reicht doch wohl oder ?

[one_night_stand]

@neutralo

na, hier sind doch viele einer meinung. inkl. dir.
dann können ja wenige ihren reibach machen. inkl. mir.

"hast du dir mal einen Chart des SOX angeschaut?"

..meinst Du wegen der kleinen bear-flag??
jetz gehts abwärts...

[olig]

hi,

problem ist, dass die 0,27 schaetzung ohne sondereinfluesse waren. sondereinfluesse waren glaube ich 0,014 also real 0,256.
desweiteren
"Der Chipbauer setzte mit 8,05 Milliarden Dollar zwar 18 Prozent mehr um als ein Jahr zuvor. Experten hatten allerdings Erlöse in Höhe von 8,11 Milliarden Dollar vorhergesagt. Im Gegensatz zum ersten Jahresviertel !!!!! stagnierten !!!! die Umsätze in etwa, wie Intel meldete. "

und

"Für 2004 kappte Intel unterdessen seine Prognose für die Bruttomarge. Bisher hatte die Gesellschaft hier mit etwa 62 Prozent gerechnet. Nun erwartet der Mikroprozessoren-Hersteller lediglich um die 60 Prozent."

d.h. stagnierende umsaetze und niedrigere bruttomarge
=> zukunft wird an der boerse gehandelt
warnung gestern von ML

mmmhhh

deswegen wohl der kurs runter

gruss

ogu

im moment after price
intc close 26.14 -> 24.87 4.8%
amd close 14.5 -> 14.05 3%

[Rob2303]

nix los hier.
ich sags ja, keine sau hat aktien. nicht einmal intel !!!!

[jxfro]

Na ja, ich hatte bei euro 21 gekauft, habe nicht mit so einer übertriebenen Reaktion gerechnet. Unter 19 euro würde ich nachkaufen. Bis zu den Wahlen schaut das schon wieder ganz anders aus. Locker bleiben.

[tradingfuchs]

Die Enttäuschung der Investoren liess das Papier auch
im mittelfristigen Performance-Vergleich auf die letzten Plätze rutschen.

Aus technischer Sicht dürfte der Titel aber übertrieben negativ bewertet sein,
s.a. http://ww.traducer.de/star/include/chart5d.htm
Eine technische Reaktion erscheint damit als recht wahrscheinlich.


Gruß tf

[jxfro]

Unter 19, also habe ich nachgekauft. Jetzt heißt es abwarten, bis sich die Lage wieder beruhigt.

[Boersenkuh]

Postet mal bitte einer n guten long Schein bzw. Zerti? Kann im Moment nicht nachgucken

Wer braucht eigentlich mehr als 3 Ghz von Intel?
Nur Hardcorezocker und das sind nicht viele!
Was soll ich mit 4 oder 5 Ghz wenn ich mit 2,5 Ghz
alles zur Zufriedenheit machen kann?
Ich denke Intel wird in Zukunft weniger Umsätzen.
Ausserdem gibts ja auch noch AMD!
Was denkt ihr ?

[jxfro]

Technische Erholung heute:
Many rallies start as a technical bounce or short covering but just keep going. Usually in this type of situation, though, you get a two or three point bounce and then a re-test of the low. I usually take half my money off the table on the bounce, looking to either buy `em back on the re-test or continue to profit with the other half if the shares continue to run. Regardless, we`re set to bounce tomorrow. The selling pressure should ease and the shorts will run for cover if we run higher again. The market makers want to goose it, and they will.

[Nemaxfire]

Was meint ihr werden die 20 Dollar halten bei Intel?

[jxfro]

Davon gehe ich fest aus.
Die Schwäche hat nichts mit Intel zu tun, sie hängt nur an der allgemeinen Marktschwäche.
Sobald der Ölpreis nachgibt, wird der markt in Schwung kommen und Intel wird dann ein Schnäppchen sein.

[Nemaxfire]

Ist Intel zu diesen Kursen jetzt ein Kauf?
Weltmarktführer!
Viel Cash!
2005er KGV unter 20!
Was meint ihr?

[jxfro]

Der Kurs scheint sich jetzt bei 20 Dollar einzupendeln. Die Shorties haben ihr Ziel erreicht, irgendwann werden sie eindecken müssen. In den nächsten Tagen und Wochen die Augen offen halten.

[Cubitus]

Ich bin mehr in Deutschen Werten am zocken und sowie Intel die Eindeckungsrally startet, geht auch bei unseren Werten die Post ab. IFX haben sie heute gleich mit in Sippenhaft genommen und so wurde mein Limit bei 7,70 doch noch bedient. Ich denke, das Signal für die Shorties, Kasse zu machen dürften vom Öl kommen. Die werden eine hemmungslose Eindeckungsrally starten und dann werden wir auch einen Nasdaq sehen, der an einem Tag 5-6% nach oben schiesst.
Es ist umgekehrt proportional zum Chart mit Fahnenmast der irgendwann eingeseift ist.
Ich denke in Kursen unter 20 ist schon viel schlechtes reingerechnet. Verkaufen würde ich die jedenfalls jetzt nicht, eher das Gegenteil.
Ich schau mir noch mal ein paar Calls an...

[Fehlinvestition]

ein blick auf en 5 jahreschart zeigt, daß intel im bereich 14-16 euro immer ein kauf ist. vielleicht haben wir glück und der sox fällt in den nächsten tagen auf 300 oder so.
sollte es so kommen, bin ich agressiv dabei.
übrigens tmta hat in den letzten wochen still und leise 50% zugelegt, und so werden es die anderen hableiter auch.

[Lugano]

Was meint ihr? Jetzt bei Intel einsteigen oder noch warten?

[jxfro]

das geht noch viel tiefer

[Nemaxfire]

Also die 19,80 Dollar haben bei Intel gehalten
und sollte es Monatg weiter hoch gehen dürfte
dies als Kaufsignal gelten und auch die Shorties
nervös machen.
Es sollte bedacht werden das Intel mit einem KGV
von c.a 20 nicht sehr hoch bewertet ist für einen
Marktführer im Techbereich.

Mein 3 Monatskursziel für Intel:
25-26 Euro!

Schaut euch mal den Film I Robot an dann weiß man
wofür man alles Chips in Zukunft braucht!

Intel nicht kaufen


Die Experten vom Börsenbrief "Fuchs Hitech" empfehlen die Aktie von Intel (ISIN US4581401001/ WKN 855681) nicht zu kaufen. Der Konzern bleibe das schwarze Schaf unter den großen Hightech-Werten. Die pessimistischen Schätzungen des Unternehmens hätten nun auch eine starke Rücknahme der Gewinnprognosen für das kommende Finanzjahr bewirkt. Diese Prognosen würden nur noch bei 1,19 USD je Anteilsschein liegen. Somit sei die Notierung wieder eingebrochen und suche bei 20 USD Unterstützung. Aufgrund der Lücke zwischen 20,20 USD und 21,50 USD dürfte dies auch gelingen. Der mittel und langfristige abwärts gerichtete Trend bleibe intakt. Die Experten von "Fuchs Hitech" raten die Aktie von Intel nicht zu kaufen.
Quelle: AKTIENCHECK.DE

[Crashboombang]

Alternative zu einem Investment in Intel...

[Nemaxfire]

Die Prognosen liegen bei nur noch 1,19 Dollar?
Das ist bei einem Kurs von 24 Dollar ein KGV von
c.a 20 wenn ich richtig rechnen kann.
Und das für einen Marktführer im Hightech!
Wann gab es Intel das letzt mal so billig?

[jxfro]

Wenn die "EXPERTEN" zum Nicht-Kauf raten, so bedeutet das normalerweise: KLARER KAUF!!!

[DukeTrader]

Ich bin seit heute drin zu $19.96. Unter $20 ist Intel ein klarer Kauf.
Wenn alle schreien verkaufen muss man kaufen.

[DukeTrader]

Sieht gut aus. Bleibe weiter long.

[DukeTrader]

So, bin grad eben doch raus und warte eine Abkühlung der Nasdaq ab. Ich seh kurzfristig kein Potential nach oben, obwohl es chartechnisch nicht schlecht aussieht. Aber in letzter Zeit hat mir INTC zu oft Abwärtstrends gebrochen, um kurz darauf wieder zurückzufallen. Ständige Bullenfallen sind negativ zu werten.

[Haulong]

Das ist Börsenpsychologie:

Dich hat man schon so weich geklopft, daß Du aussteigst wenns gerade richtig losgeht.

[DukeTrader]

Na, wir werden sehen. Gewinne mitnehmen kann nie schaden. Ausstieg bei $21.32.

[Haulong]

30% sollten hier erstmal drin sein.

Vor dem 2.11. wird Intel nicht zu stoppen sein. Und unsere amerikanischen Freunde neigen zu Übertreibungen (was noch stark untertrieben ist bzgl. der Formulierung).

[Haulong]

Würde mich nicht wundern, wenn Intel heute 2stellig im Plus schließt.

[Haulong]

(bezogen auf die % natürlich)

[Haulong]

Das war Gestern dann doch noch dünner als erwartet. Aber was solls? Auf einen Tag mehr oder weniger kommts uns doch wohl nicht an?!

[DukeTrader]

Ausstieg war gut. Momentan $20.65.

Unter $20 wieder eine Überlegung wert.

[netgoggel]

hallo,
wie ist das eigentlich wenn die Zahlen die heut von Intel kommen sollen schlechter sind als erwartet(in welchem zusammenhang auch immer)?
Hat Intel immer noch die Indikatorrolle oder nicht?
Was ich eigentlich fragen will, ist ob intel an den märkten ne rallye verhindern könnte?
Irgendwie hab ich das gefühl dass viele auf ne rallye warten.

wer bestimmt das eingentlich wann ne rallye kommt und wann net?

[Kwerdenker]

Erstaunlich, dass hier praktisch keine Diskussion stattfindet.
Findet die anderswo statt?

Nachdem ich seit ca. 18 Monaten raus aus Intel bin, denke ich an einen Wiedereinstieg.

Der Dollar ist an einer Wendemarke, die internationale Konjunturentwicklung stabilisiert sich,
Märkte in Asien etc. werden das Wachstum von Prozessoren durchaus tragen können.

Wie bedeutend ist das Elend der D-RAM Chips für Intel, denn die werden wohl keine Freude machen in 2005...

Intel Announces Record Quarterly and Annual Revenue
Tuesday January 11, 4:15 pm ET
Fourth-Quarter Earnings Per Share 33 Cents


SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 2005--Intel Corporation today announced record quarterly revenue of $9.6 billion, up 13 percent from the third quarter and up 10 percent year-over-year. For the year, Intel achieved revenue of $34.2 billion, up 13.5 percent from 2003 and higher than the previous record of $33.7 billion set in 2000.
ADVERTISEMENT


Fourth-quarter net income was $2.1 billion, up 11 percent sequentially and down 2 percent year-over-year. Earnings per share were 33 cents, up 10 percent sequentially and flat with the fourth quarter of 2003. Results for the third quarter of 2004 included tax-related items that increased earnings by approximately 3 cents per share.

"We ended 2004 with record revenues and robust demand for Intel architecture products across all geographies and channels," said Intel CEO Craig R. Barrett. "Our investments in manufacturing capacity, innovative new products and global presence have allowed us to post double-digit gains in both revenue and profits two years in a row. In 2005, we look forward to continued growth as we ramp our 65nm process technology and introduce our first dual-core microprocessors across a range of new platforms."

For the year, net income of $7.5 billion was up 33 percent from $5.6 billion in 2003. Earnings per share were $1.16, up 36 percent from 85 cents in 2003. Intel paid record cash dividends of $1 billion, announced two doublings of the company`s cash dividend and used a record $7.5 billion to repurchase 300.5 million shares of common stock.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Please see the Risk Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this release for a description of certain important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ, and refer to Intel`s annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a more complete description of the risks. These statements do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations that may be completed after Jan. 10, 2005. These statements also do not include any impact related to the expensing of stock options under the Financial Accounting Standards Board`s Statement 123R, which is effective for quarters beginning after June 15, 2005. Expensing of stock options would decrease gross margin, increase expenses (including R&D expenses) and affect the tax rate.

Revenue in the first quarter is expected to be between $8.8 billion and $9.4 billion.
Gross margin percentage for the first quarter is expected to be approximately 55 percent, plus or minus a couple of points, as compared to 56 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004. The gross margin percentage could vary from expectations based on changes in revenue levels, product mix and pricing, manufacturing yields, changes in unit costs, capacity utilization and the existence of excess capacity, and the timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp and associated costs, including start-up costs.
Gross margin percentage for 2005 is expected to be approximately 58 percent, plus or minus a few points, as compared to 57.7 percent in 2004.
Expenses (R&D plus MG&A) in the first quarter are expected to be between $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion. Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation expenses, could vary from expectations depending on the level of demand for Intel`s products and the level of revenue and profits.
R&D spending for 2005 is expected to be approximately $5.2 billion, as compared to $4.8 billion in 2004.
Capital spending for 2005 is expected to be between $4.9 billion and $5.3 billion, as compared to $3.8 billion in 2004. The expected increase is primarily driven by investments in 300mm, 65nm production equipment that will enable cost-effective production of dual-core microprocessors and other products.
Gains from equity investments and interest and other in the first quarter are expected to be approximately $100 million.
The tax rate for 2005 is expected to be approximately 31 percent. The tax rate expectation is based on current tax law and current expected income, assumes Intel continues to receive tax benefits for export sales, and does not reflect the impact of any potential repatriation of cash under the American Jobs Creation Act. The tax rate may be affected by the closing of acquisitions or divestitures, the jurisdiction in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed, changes in estimates of credits and deductions, the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities and the ability to realize deferred tax assets.
Depreciation for the first quarter is expected to be approximately $1.2 billion, plus or minus $100 million. Depreciation for the full year is expected to be approximately $4.4 billion, plus or minus $100 million.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and costs is expected to be approximately $40 million in the first quarter and approximately $120 million for the full year.
FOURTH-QUARTER REVIEW AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

Financial Review

Gains from equity investments and interest and other were $127 million, above the previous expectation of approximately $65 million.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was 29.9 percent, below the previous expectation of 30.5 percent.
Intel used $2 billion in cash to repurchase 89 million shares of its common stock during the quarter under an ongoing program.
The company`s board of directors approved a doubling of the company`s cash dividend to 8 cents per share beginning with the first-quarter 2005 dividend declaration. The board also authorized the repurchase of an additional 500 million shares of common stock under the company`s ongoing stock repurchase program.
Key Product Trends (Sequential)

Intel Architecture microprocessor units set a record with record unit shipments of enterprise and mobile processors. The average selling price was approximately flat.
Chipset units set a record.
Motherboard units set a record.
Flash memory units were higher.
Wireless connectivity units set a record. Wired connectivity units were higher.
Intel Architecture Business

Intel had record shipments of microprocessors, chipsets and motherboards during the quarter and demonstrated three upcoming dual-core processors for the enterprise, desktop and notebook market segments.

For the enterprise, Intel had ongoing strong demand for the company`s 64-bit Intel® Xeon(TM) processor, which surpassed 1 million units in the first two quarters of shipments. Intel also enhanced its Itanium® 2 processor line-up with six new processors for multiprocessor, dual-processor and low-voltage system designs. The company announced it would hire HP`s Colorado-based Itanium processor design team while HP announced plans to invest more than $3 billion over the next three years to drive the development and sales of its Itanium-based systems. According to the latest Top500* ranking, Intel processors power 64 percent of the world`s fastest supercomputers, a 15-fold increase over the past three years. Itanium-based systems make up 83 supercomputers on the Top500 list, including NASA`s Project Columbia system, listed as the second fastest in the world.

In mobile, Intel introduced the Pentium® M processor 765 for thin-and-light notebook PCs along with the Mobile Intel Pentium® 4 processor 552 for desktop-equivalent multimedia notebooks. The company also previewed a next-generation notebook PC platform code-named Sonoma, which began shipping for revenue during the quarter. The new platform combines the mobility associated with Intel Centrino(TM) Mobile Technology with support for advanced audio, video, 3D gaming and TV-out capabilities traditionally found in desktop PCs and full-size notebooks.

For the digital home, entertainment PC products from major OEM manufacturers began shipping during the holiday buying season. Based on the Pentium® 4 processor with HT Technology and the Intel 915 Express Chipset, the entertainment PCs combine many of the capabilities found in consumer electronics devices such as CD/DVD players, gaming stations and personal video recorders into a single platform that also supports Web content browsing and home networking. Intel Capital invested in three additional companies developing enabling technologies for the digital home while Intel and Linksys announced a digital media adapter that enables consumers to enjoy movies and music on multiple networked digital devices in the home. The Linksys adapter supports technology called DCTP/IP that allows protected premium content to be experienced in the digital home.

For the desktop, Intel introduced a new PC platform aimed at power users and gaming enthusiasts. The platform includes the Pentium 4 Processor Extreme Edition at 3.46 GHz and the Intel 925XE Express chipset, which supports a 1.066 GHz front side bus, PCI Express* graphics and Intel High Definition Audio.

Intel Communications Group

In flash, the company saw continued strong growth in demand for its Intel StrataFlash® Wireless Memory, which helped Intel regain its market segment share leadership in NOR flash memory. The company also released software tools that make it easier for developers to create advanced applications for next-generation multimedia phones that use Intel StrataFlash memories and Intel Wireless Flash memories.

In wireless networking, Intel shipped a record number of WiFi connections during the quarter and announced plans to work with Clearwire, a wireless broadband services company, to accelerate the deployment of WiMAX networks worldwide. Clearwire received an investment from Intel Capital and plans to deploy equipment that uses Intel WiMAX silicon. In cellular, Intel, IBM and NTT Docomo released the Trusted Mobile Platform, a security specification for cell phones and other handheld devices designed to help make online purchases more secure and protect against viruses.

In network processing, Intel announced new product lines for communications and embedded networking applications. The Intel IXP2325 and IXP2350 network processors are Intel`s first built on 90nm process technology and are targeted at network access and edge applications. The Intel IXP460 and IXP465 network processors provide designers of embedded systems with a higher performing Intel XScale® core, expanded connectivity options, and system reliability and security enhancements.

In storage area networking, Intel introduced a low-voltage 64-bit Intel Xeon processor offering greater memory addressability for storage-intensive applications such as large databases. Emulex announced plans to use Intel`s 2-Gbps optical transceiver in a new Fibre Channel adaptor for storage area networks.

Technology and Manufacturing Group

Intel exited the year with more than 80 percent of its processor shipments to the computing industry based on 300mm, 90nm technology. The company also made significant progress in its 65nm technology development, including the demonstration of commercial software running on a forthcoming dual-core microprocessor for notebook PCs code-named Yonah. Intel also began installing equipment at its Fab 12 facility in Arizona -- the company`s fifth 300mm fab -- which is on schedule to produce 65nm processors in late 2005, with volume ramping in 2006.

EARNINGS WEBCAST

Intel will hold a public webcast at 2:30 p.m. PST today on its Investor Relations Web site at www.intc.com. A replay of the webcast will be available until April 19.

STATUS OF BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND MID-QUARTER BUSINESS UPDATE

During the quarter, Intel`s corporate representatives may reiterate the Business Outlook during private meetings with investors, investment analysts, the media and others. Intel intends to publish a Mid-Quarter Business Update on March 10. From the close of business on March 4 until publication of the Update, Intel will observe a "Quiet Period" during which the Business Outlook disclosed in the company`s press releases and filings with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q should be considered to be historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to update by the company. For more information about the Business Outlook, Update and related Quiet Periods, please refer to the Business Outlook section of Intel`s Web site at www.intc.com.

RISK FACTORS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the first quarter, the year and the future are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect Intel`s actual results, and variances from Intel`s current expectations regarding such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward looking statements. Intel presently considers the factors accompanying certain of such statements above and set forth below to be the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Intel`s published expectations. A more detailed discussion of these factors, as well as other factors that could affect Intel`s results, is contained in Intel`s SEC filings, including the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 25, 2004.

Intel operates in intensely competitive industries. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are affected by the demand for and market acceptance of Intel`s products, pricing pressures and actions taken by Intel`s competitors, the timing of new product introductions and the availability of sufficient inventory to meet demand. Factors that could cause demand to be different from Intel`s expectations include changes in business and economic conditions, and changes in customer order patterns and the level of inventory at customers.
The gross margin percentage could also be affected by excess or obsolete inventory, variations in inventory valuation and impairment of manufacturing or assembly and test assets.
Dividend declarations and the dividend rate are at the discretion of Intel`s Board of Directors, and plans for future dividends may be revised by the Board. Intel`s dividend and stock repurchase programs could be affected by changes in its capital spending programs, changes in its cash flows and changes in tax laws, as well as by the level and timing of acquisition and investment activity.
The expectation regarding gains or losses from equity securities and interest and other could vary from expectations depending on equity market levels and volatility, gains or losses realized on the sale or exchange of securities, impairment charges related to non-marketable and other investments, interest rates, cash balances, and changes in fair value of derivative instruments.
Intel`s results could be impacted by unexpected economic, social and political conditions in the countries in which Intel, its customers or its suppliers operate, including security risks, possible infrastructure disruptions and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Intel`s results could also be affected by adverse effects associated with product defects and errata (deviations from published specifications) and by litigation or regulatory matters involving intellectual property, stockholder, consumer, antitrust and other issues, such as the litigation and regulatory matters described in Intel`s SEC reports.
Intel, the world`s largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.

Beginning in 2004, the company combined its communications-related
businesses into a single organization, the Intel Communications Group
(ICG). Previously, these communications businesses were in two
separate product line operating segments: the former Intel
Communications Group and the Wireless Communications and Computing
Group. The company now consists of two reportable product-line
operating segments: the Intel Architecture business, which is composed
of the Desktop Platforms Group, the Mobile Platforms Group and the
Enterprise Platforms Group; and ICG. All prior period amounts have
been restated to reflect the new presentation as well as certain minor
reorganizations effected during 2004.

The Intel Architecture operating segment`s products include
microprocessors and related chipsets and motherboards. ICG`s products
include flash memory; wired and wireless connectivity products;
communications infrastructure components such as network and embedded
processors and optical components; microcontrollers; application and
cellular processors used in cellular handsets and handheld computing
devices; and cellular baseband chipsets.

The "all other" category includes acquisition-related costs, including
amortization and any impairments of acquisition-related intangibles
and goodwill. "All other" also includes the results of operations of
seed businesses that support the company`s initiatives. Finally, "all
other" includes certain corporate-level operating expenses, including
a portion of profit-dependent bonus and other expenses not allocated
to the operating segments.
