Insights

Financial Analyst

Intel's Q3 results reveal significant challenges with $13.3B revenue, down 6% YoY and substantial losses driven by $15.9B in impairment charges and $2.8B in restructuring costs. The GAAP loss of $16.6B ($3.88 per share) reflects major write-downs, including a $9.9B tax asset valuation allowance. However, underlying business trends show resilience with DCAI segment up 9% and NEX up 4%.

The Q4 guidance of $13.3-14.3B revenue and positive non-GAAP EPS of $0.12 suggests operational improvements. The AWS partnership and $3B CHIPS Act funding provide strategic growth catalysts. The planned Intel Foundry separation and $10B cost reduction initiative signal a major transformation, though near-term profitability remains challenged.

Tech Industry Analyst

Intel's strategic repositioning is gaining traction with Intel 18A development ahead of schedule and significant customer wins. The collaboration with AMD on x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group demonstrates market leadership, while the AWS partnership validates Intel's foundry strategy. The planned foundry separation should enhance competitiveness against TSMC.

The AI PC initiative targeting 100M units by 2025 and new Core Ultra processors show Intel's commitment to AI integration. However, the $2.9B Mobileye goodwill impairment and Intel 7 write-downs indicate challenges in certain segments. The transformation appears well-structured but execution risks remain in this highly competitive semiconductor landscape.

Q3 2024 Restructuring and Impairment Charges

In the third quarter, the company made significant progress on its $10 billion cost reduction plan. The plan aims to drive operational efficiency and agility, accelerate profitable growth and create capacity for ongoing strategic investment in technology and manufacturing leadership. These initiatives include structural and operating realignment across the company, alongside reductions in headcount, operating expenses and capital expenditures. As a result of these actions, the company recognized $2.8 billion in restructuring charges in Q3 2024, $528 million of which are non-cash charges and $2.2 billion of which will be cash settled in the future.

Intel's third quarter results were also materially impacted by the following charges:

• $3.1 billion of charges, substantially all of which were recognized in cost of sales, related to non-cash impairments and the acceleration of depreciation for certain manufacturing assets, a substantial majority of which related to the Intel 7 process node, based upon an evaluation of current process technology node capacities relative to projected market demand for Intel products and services;
• $2.9 billion of non-cash charges associated with the impairment of goodwill for certain reporting units – primarily the Mobileye reporting unit – as well as certain acquired intangible assets; and
• $9.9 billion of non-cash charges related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

The restructuring charges of $2.8 billion and the asset impairment charges, including the allowance against our deferred tax assets, and accelerated depreciation of $15.9 billion increased GAAP loss per share attributable to Intel by $3.89. The restructuring charges, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, and deferred tax asset valuation allowance had no impact on non-GAAP loss per share attributable to Intel. The impairment charges and accelerated depreciation for certain manufacturing assets of $3.1 billion increased GAAP and non-GAAP loss per share attributable to Intel by $0.57 and $0.63 per share, respectively. These charges were not incorporated into the guidance Intel provided for the third quarter of 2024.

Business Unit Summary

In October 2022, Intel announced an internal foundry operating model, which took effect in the first quarter of 2024 and created a foundry relationship between its Intel Products business (collectively CCG, DCAI and NEX) and its Intel Foundry business (including Foundry Technology Development, Foundry Manufacturing and Supply Chain and Foundry Services, formerly IFS). The foundry operating model is designed to reshape operational dynamics and drive greater transparency, accountability, and focus on costs and efficiency. In furtherance of Intel's internal foundry operating model, Intel announced in the third quarter of 2024 its intent to establish Intel Foundry as an independent subsidiary. The company also previously announced its intent to operate Altera^® as a standalone business beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Altera was previously included in DCAI's segment results. As a result of these changes, the company modified its segment reporting in the first quarter of 2024 to align to this new operating model. All prior-period segment data has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the way the company internally receives information and manages and monitors its operating segment performance starting in fiscal year 2024. There are no changes to Intel’s consolidated financial statements for any prior periods.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with US GAAP, this document contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in our performance-based RSUs and our cash bonus plans.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related effects to income taxes and net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests effects. Income tax effects are calculated using a fixed long-term projected tax rate of 13% across all adjustments. We project this long-term non-GAAP tax rate on at least an annual basis using a five-year non-GAAP financial projection that excludes the income tax effects of each adjustment. The projected non-GAAP tax rate also considers factors such as our tax structure, our tax positions in various jurisdictions, and key legislation in significant jurisdictions where we operate. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate may be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix, or changes to our strategy or business operations. Management uses this non-GAAP tax rate in managing internal short- and long-term operating plans and in evaluating our performance; we believe this approach facilitates comparison of our operating results and provides useful evaluation of our current operating performance. Non-GAAP adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated by adjusting for the minority stockholder portion of non-GAAP adjustments we make for relevant acquisition-related costs, share-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, and income tax effects, as applicable to each majority-owned subsidiary.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with US GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Non-GAAP adjustment or measure	Definition	Usefulness to management and investors
Acquisition-related adjustments	Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology, brands, and customer relationships acquired in connection with business combinations. Charges related to the amortization of these intangibles are recorded within both cost of sales and MG&A in our US GAAP financial statements. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years.	We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends.
Share-based compensation	Share-based compensation consists of charges related to our employee equity incentive plans.	We exclude charges related to share-based compensation for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe these adjustments provide comparability to peer company results and because these charges are not viewed by management as part of our core operating performance. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of our core business model, how management currently evaluates core operational performance, and additional means to evaluate expense trends, including in comparison to other peer companies.
Restructuring and other charges	Restructuring charges are costs associated with a restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Q3 2024 includes charges associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan primarily comprised of cash-based employee severance and benefit arrangements, and cash and non-cash charges related to real estate exits and consolidations, as well as non-cash construction in progress asset impairments resulting from business exit activities. Other charges include periodic goodwill and asset impairments, and other costs associated with certain non-core activities. Q3 2024 includes non-cash charges resulting from the impairment of goodwill and certain acquired intangible assets. Q3 2023 includes two legal related fees, which we do not expect to recur, relating to an EC-imposed fine and a termination fee relating to Tower.	We exclude restructuring and other charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.
(Gains) losses on equity investments, net	(Gains) losses on equity investments, net consists of ongoing mark-to-market adjustments on marketable equity securities, observable price adjustments on non-marketable equity securities, related impairment charges, and the gains (losses) from the sale of equity investments and other.	We exclude these non-operating gains and losses for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because it provides comparability between periods. The exclusion reflects how management evaluates the core operations of the business.
(Gains) losses from divestiture	(Gains) losses are recognized at the close of a divestiture, or over a specified deferral period when deferred consideration is received at the time of closing. Based on our ongoing obligation under the NAND wafer manufacturing and sale agreement entered into in connection with the first closing of the sale of our NAND memory business on December 29, 2021, a portion of the initial closing consideration was deferred and will be recognized between first and second closing.	We exclude gains or losses resulting from divestitures for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because they do not reflect our current operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results.
Deferred tax assets valuation allowances	A non-cash charge recorded to provision for (benefit from) income taxes related to a discreet valuation allowance recorded against our US deferred tax assets.	We excluded a discrete non-cash charge in Q3 2024 related to a valuation allowance established against our US deferred tax assets due to a historical cumulative loss for GAAP purposes. We excluded the discreet valuation allowance when calculating certain non-GAAP measures as there is no such historical cumulative loss on a non-GAAP basis; and because of the size of the charge, the adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to our past operating results.
Adjusted free cash flow	We reference a non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow, which is used by management when assessing our sources of liquidity, capital resources, and quality of earnings. Adjusted free cash flow is operating cash flow adjusted for (1) purchases of property, plant, and equipment, including purchases where the vendor has extended payment terms to us, net of proceeds from capital-related government incentives and partner contributions, and (2) payments on finance leases.	This non-GAAP financial measure is helpful in understanding our capital requirements and sources of liquidity by providing an additional means to evaluate the cash flow trends of our business.
Net capital spending	We reference a non-GAAP financial measure of net capital spending, which is additions to property, plant, and equipment, net of proceeds from capital-related government incentives and partner contributions.	We believe this measure provides investors with useful supplemental information about our capital investment activities and capital offsets, and allows for greater transparency with respect to a key metric used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.
