AMD Achieves Record Sales and Bookings as it Returns to Profitability
Business Wire - October 06, 1998 17:07
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 1998--Led by substantial growth in
sales of AMD-K6(R)-2 processors with 3DNow!(tm) technology, AMD today reported
record sales of $685,927,000 during its third quarter, ended September 27, 1998, which
resulted in net income of $1,006,000, or $0.01 per share.
Sales increased by 30 percent from the immediate-prior quarter, and by 15 percent from
the like period of 1997.
In the immediate-prior quarter, AMD reported a net loss of $64,560,000 on sales of
$526,538,000, which resulted in a net loss of $0.45 per share. In the like period of 1997,
AMD reported a net loss of $31,675,000 on sales of $596,644,000. The net loss
amounted to $0.22 per share.
For the first nine months of 1998, the company reported total sales of $1,753,321,000,
which resulted in a net loss of $126,281,000, or $0.88 per share. For the first nine months
of 1997, AMD reported total sales of $1,743,204,000, which resulted in a net loss of
$8,756,000, or $0.06 per share.
"AMD achieved record sales and returned to nominal profitability on rapid market
acceptance of our AMD-K6-2 processor with 3DNow! technology," said W.J. Sanders
III, chairman and chief executive officer. "This product, introduced on May 28, 1998, was
the largest contributor to the substantial increase in sales of our Microsoft(R) Windows(R)
compatible AMD-K6 processor family.
"Shipments of AMD-K6 family processors increased by more than one million units to 3.8
million units, and AMD-K6 family processor sales increased by 70 percent over the
immediate-prior quarter. Excellent manufacturing and sales execution enabled AMD to
return to profitability one quarter ahead of expectations.
"We are extremely pleased by the strong demand in the retail channel for personal
computers powered by AMD-K6-2 processors," Sanders continued. "According to PC
Data, systems powered by AMD-K6 family processors captured 31 percent of the total
U.S. retail market for desktop systems in August, the latest period for which data are
available. In the rapidly growing market for sub-$1,000 systems, PCs powered by
AMD-K6 family processors captured a 54 percent market share -- the highest penetration
we have achieved to date. The highest-volume desktop system sold in the United States
retail channel in August was a system powered by an AMD-K6-2 processor with 3DNow!
technology, even surpassing sales of Apple Computer's successful iMac system.
"During the quarter, we introduced and shipped hundreds of thousands of our 350MHz
AMD-K6-2 processors," Sanders continued. "With the availability of these
higher-performance devices, AMD now has very attractive products for the mainstream
desktop market: systems priced at $1,500 and below, which comprise 80 percent of the
U.S. retail desktop personal computer market.
"During the quarter we also introduced a 300MHz AMD-K6 processor for mobile
applications. The AMD-K6/300 has a clock speed matching the highest-speed mobile
processor on the market.
"In the face of continuing intense price pressures and weak overall industry demand, we
were able to maintain flat sales compared to the immediate-prior quarter in the aggregate
for our Communications Group, our Memory Group, and Vantis, our programmable logic
subsidiary," said Sanders.
"On the strength of demand for AMD-K6 family processors, total third-quarter company
bookings achieved a record level," Sanders concluded.
Cautionary Statement
Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements of management's expectations

Any forward-looking statements about AMD-K6 family processors involve risks and
uncertainties, including: whether the company will be able to maintain or increase output of
higher-performance AMD-K6-2 processors; whether customer demand for AMD-K6
family processors will continue at current or greater levels; whether uncertain worldwide
economic conditions, including the economic conditions in Asia, will result in decreased
demand for microprocessors and other integrated circuits; and whether as a result of
industry conditions or for other reasons customers will cancel currently booked orders or
