MB, "I expected big rises in receivables and inventories, but that didn't happen."

I wonder if they offered any discounts to customers to speed up payments and lower DSO. Not much different than Compaq's factoring during their channel stuffing days to help reduce A/R. Cash discounts for early pay are recorded as expense, not revenue reduction.

From their press release:
** Expenses during the quarter were up 16 percent from the third quarter, higher than the revised guidance Intel gave in November that spending was expected to be approximately 8 to 10 percent higher than the third quarter expenses. The higher than expected expenses in the fourth quarter are primarily attributable to incremental spending associated with revenue and profit dependent expenses and higher than expected utilization on the Intel Inside® program.
