AMD FY22 Q4 earnings report

01 Business performance and growth drivers

Data Center 1.7 B$(+42%), Client 0.903 B$(−51%), Gaming 1.6 B$(−7%), Embedded 1.4 B$.

Versus the preceding quarter, consolidated revenue changed by +0.034 B$ and operating profit by -0.085 B$; operating margin changed by -1.5 percentage points. Segment commentary explains the consolidated result. Sequential changes without controlling for acquisitions, seasonality and product transitions are not long-term growth rates.

02 Profit quality and margins

GAAP/non-GAAP gross margins were 43%/51%; Client posted a 0.152 B$ operating loss.

On consolidated revenue of 5.599 B$, operating margin was -2.7% and net margin 0.4%. Net profit differed from operating profit by +0.170 B$, reflecting non-operating items, taxes and related effects. This difference cannot by itself be attributed to product demand or operating competitiveness.

03 Cash flow and financial capacity

Quarterly operating cash flow of 0.567 B$ less capital expenditure of 0.124 B$ gives common-basis FCF of 0.443 B$. Ending cash and cash equivalents were 4.835 B$, versus total liabilities of 12.830 B$. Liabilities are not equivalent to borrowings; cash excludes separately reported short-term investments.

Common-basis FCF was 7.9% of revenue. Both operating cash flow and capital expenditure refer to this quarter, not annual or trailing-twelve-month periods. Working-capital movements and non-cash adjustments mean operating cash flow need not equal net profit.

04 Management commentary and contemporaneous guidance

Management described Xilinx as diversifying the business while acknowledging mixed demand.

Next-quarter guidance: revenue 5.3±0.3 B$ and non-GAAP gross margin 50%.

05 Risks and next checks

Separate acquisition and PC-base effects, and monitor the margin impact of higher server R&D.

Quarterly results · CY-aligned presentation

CY denotes the calendar quarter with the greatest overlap with the fiscal period. If the first period has no start date, 89 days before its end is used only for calendar mapping. Financial values are not recalculated into calendar quarters. Incomplete years show totals of included quarters; cash, liabilities, borrowings and net cash use the last period-end balance. QoQ and YoY show absolute changes; margin changes are percentage points. Dashes indicate missing evidence or incomparable periods or definitions. Total liabilities never substitute for borrowings.

Definitions and evidence coverage

A dash means unavailable or undisclosed, not zero. Company-defined FCF may differ from total operating cash flow less common-basis CapEx. Total liabilities are accounting liabilities, not interest-bearing debt.
