Dan,

Take a look at AMD's Balance Sheet (BS) and Statement of Cash Flows (SCF). This information was copied directly off of freeedgar.com....

AMD, as of Last Q, was a net borrower of 330M. Now the next line is payments of debt, etc. Notice that figure of 2.778M? That is what they paid towards their debt.

Additionally, here is a discussion of how they got the money...
Net cash provided by financing activities was $338 million during the first
quarter of 2001. Major uses of cash during the period included $3 million in
payments on debt and capital lease obligations offset by $320 million in
proceeds from Dresden FAB 30 borrowing activities
, $10 million in proceeds from
Dresden FAB 30 foreign grants and subsidies and $9 million in proceeds from
issuance of stock.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $51 million in the first quarter
of 2000 primarily due to $52 million in proceeds from issuance of stock in
connection with stock option exercises and purchases under our Employee Stock
Purchase Plan.

Dan,

Another comment regarding loans. A nobel prize was granted in the 50s due to someone stating that leverage (read: debt) is good since a corporation can write off the interest.

Simply put: Vl = Vu + IntExp*(1-Tc)
where:

Vl - Value of a Levered Firm
Vu - Value of an Unlevered Firm (i.e. no debt)
IntExp - interest Expense
Tc - Corporate Tax Rate

While true, there comes a point when having too much leverage is bad and will cause the value of a levered firm to decline (rapidly).

Another point, your comments regarding depreciation are duly noted. My point is this, Depreciation is a non-cash charge. Assets are depreciated over their useful lives and are used as a tax break; therefore allowing a corporation to pay less taxes.

Let's assume that for both companies (Intel and AMD) both decided not to spend any more money on Capex. (which will never happen and we will not look into the consequences of Semiconduct Capital Equip. Vendors). Both will continue on with their depreciation. The point I'm trying to make is that AMD is a highly leveraged company. Look at their Interest Expense and compare it to their Operating Cash Flow, not overall cash flow, but operating. Interest is cash outflowing from the company, thus adding to their cost structure....
