Intel First-Quarter Revenue $8.9 Billion Wednesday April 19, 4:15 pm ET
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2006--Intel Corporation: Operating income $1.7 billion ($2.1 billion excluding share-based compensation) EPS 23 cents (27 cents excluding share-based compensation) $585 million in cash dividends $2.9 billion used to repurchase 138.5 million shares Intel Corporation today announced first-quarter revenue of $8.9 billion, operating income of $1.7 billion, net income of $1.3 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of 23 cents. Excluding the effects of share-based compensation, the company posted operating income of $2.1 billion, net income of $1.6 billion and EPS of 27 cents.
"We believe PC growth rates have moderated over the course of the past few quarters, leading to slower chip-level inventory reductions at our customers and affecting our revenue in the first half of the year," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. "We made excellent operational progress during the quarter, shipping millions of 65nm dual-core processors, and saw strong market acceptance of the Centrino(TM) Duo mobile platform as well as the Viiv(TM) platform for the digital home. We plan to launch new processors based on the Intel® Core(TM) microarchitecture in the third quarter, giving Intel performance leadership across the server, desktop and mobile segments and setting the stage for a strong second half."

Financial Review
First-quarter gross margin was 55.1 percent, versus a January expectation of 59 percent, plus or minus a couple of points. Gross margin was impacted by lower microprocessor revenue and higher inventory write-downs. Expenses (R&D plus MG&A) were $3.2 billion, versus a January expectation of $3.3 billion due to lower revenue- and profit-related spending. The effective tax rate was 27.5 percent, versus a January expectation of approximately 32 percent. The decrease was primarily driven by a higher percentage of profits in low-tax jurisdictions and an increase in non-U.S. R&D tax credits that together increased earnings by approximately 1.4 cents per share.
Key Product Trends (Sequential)
Total microprocessor units were lower. The average selling price (ASP) was slightly lower. Chipset, motherboard and flash memory units were lower. Application processor units for products such as cellular phones and PDAs were lower. Sales Patterns
Sequential revenue in the Asia-Pacific, Americas and Europe regions was below the company's expectations while the Japan region achieved its first billion-dollar quarter driven primarily by ongoing strength in the notebook market segment.
