AMD Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results - Revenue Has Ryzen

AMD announced revenue for the first quarter of 2017 of $984 million, operating loss of $29 million, and net loss of $73 million, or $0.08 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, operating loss was $6 million, net loss was $38 million, and loss per share was $0.04.

 "We achieved 18 percent year-over-year revenue growth driven by strong demand for our high performance Ryzen CPUs as well as graphics processors," said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO.

"We are positioned for solid revenue growth and margin expansion opportunities across the business in the year ahead as we bring innovation, performance, and choice to an expanding set of markets."

Revenue $984M $1.11B $832M
Operating income (loss) $(6)M $26M $(55)M
Net loss $(38)M $(8)M $(96)M
Loss per share $(0.04) $(0.01) $(0.12)


Q1 2017 Results

  • Revenue of $984 million was up 18 percent year-over-year, driven by higher revenue in both the Computing and Graphics and Enterprise, Embedded, and Semi-Custom business segments. Revenue was down 11 percent sequentially, due primarily to seasonality in both segments. However, Computing and Graphics segment revenue decline was better than seasonal due to the initial sales from high performance Ryzen desktop processors.
  • On a GAAP basis, gross margin was 34 percent, up 2 percentage points year-over-year and sequentially due to a higher percentage of revenue from the Computing and Graphics segment, as well as a richer product mix within that segment. Operating loss of $29 million compared to operating losses of $68 million a year ago and $3 million in the prior quarter. Net loss of $73 million compared to net losses of $109 million a year ago and $51 million in the prior quarter. Loss per share of $0.08 compared to a loss per share of $0.14 a year ago and a loss per share of $0.06 in the prior quarter.
  • On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 34 percent, up 2 percentage points year-over-year and sequentially. Operating loss of $6 million compared to an operating loss of $55 million a year ago and operating income of $26 million in the prior quarter. Net loss of $38 million compared to net losses of $96 million a year ago and $8 million in the prior quarter. Loss per share of $0.04 compared to a loss per share of $0.12 a year ago and a loss per share of $0.01 in the prior quarter.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $943 million at the end of the quarter, down $321 million from the end of the prior quarter primarily due to the timing of sales and cash collections, debt interest payments, and increased inventory.

Quarterly Financial Segment Summary

    • Computing and Graphics segment revenue was $593 million, up 29 percent year-over-year and down 1 percent sequentially. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher desktop and graphics processor sales. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a decrease in mobile and graphics processor sales largely offset by initial revenue from high performance Ryzen desktop processors.
    • o Operating loss was $15 million, compared to operating losses of $70 million in Q1 2016 and $21 million in Q4 2016. The year-over-year improvement was driven primarily by higher revenue. The sequential improvement was driven primarily by lower operating expenses.
      o Client average selling price (ASP) increased year-over-year and sequentially driven by desktop processor ASP.
      o GPU ASP increased year-over-year and sequentially due primarily to higher desktop GPU ASP.
    • Enterprise, Embedded, and Semi-Custom segment revenue was $391 million, up 5 percent year over-year driven primarily by higher semi-custom SoC sales. Sequentially, revenue decreased 23 percent primarily due to seasonally lower sales of semi-custom SoCs.
    • o Operating income was $9 million, compared to an operating income of $16 million in Q1 2016 and an operating income of $47 million in Q4 2016. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to higher server related R&D investments, partially offset by an increase in the THATIC JV licensing gain. The sequential decrease was primarily due to seasonally lower sales of semi-custom SoCs.
  • All Other operating loss was $23 million compared with operating losses of $14 million in Q1 2016 and $29 million in Q4 2016. The year-over-year and sequential differences in operating loss were related to stock-based compensation charges.

Q1 2017 Highlights

    • AMD launched its first high-performance x86 Ryzen desktop processor based on the entirely new "Zen" core microarchitecture, bringing leadership multi-core performance to PC gamers, creators, and hardware enthusiasts worldwide.
    • o AMD Ryzen 7: These 8-core, 16-thread processors bring innovation and choice back to the enthusiast PC market and include the world's highest performing, and lowest powered 8-core desktop PC processors.
      o AMD Ryzen 5: Mainstream processors designed to bring innovation to the high-volume, sub-$300 CPU market with a disruptive price-to-performance ratio for gamers and creators.
    • AMD shared new details about its upcoming server and high-end graphics solutions:

AMD also announced a collaboration with Microsoft to incorporate the cloud delivery features of "Naples" with Microsoft's "Project Olympus" server platform.
      o AMD's "Vega" GPU architecture is on track to launch in Q2, and has been designed from scratch to address the most data- and visually-intensive next-generation workloads with key architecture advancements including: a differentiated memory subsystem, next-generation geometry pipeline, new compute engine, and a new pixel engine.
    • AMD further strengthened its consumer and professional graphics offerings with new hardware and software solutions for gamers and creators:
    • o Introduced the Radeon RX 500 series line of GPUs based on a refined, second-generation "Polaris" architecture to deliver an up to 57 percent performance improvement and higher clock speeds for modern games, smooth VR experiences, and the latest display technologies.
      o Announced the Radeon Pro Duo, the first "Polaris" architecture based dual-GPU graphics card, designed to excel at media and entertainment, broadcast, design, and manufacturing workflows. Slated for availability in late May 2017, the Radeon Pro Duo delivers up to 2 times faster performance than the closest competing professional graphics card on select professional applications and increased VR performance over single GPU solutions by up to 50%.
    • Demonstrated its continued focus on ensuring consumers and enterprise users have the software tools they need to get the most from their Radeon and Radeon Pro GPUs with regular updates to its Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition and Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Edition drivers, incorporating new features, performance and stability improvements.

      o AMD and Bethesda Softworks formed a multi-title strategic partnership to rapidly advance game technology development, including harnessing the full potential of low-level APIs and maximizing the capabilities of the computing and graphics power of AMD's multicore Ryzen CPUs, Radeon GPUs, and AMD server solutions across Bethesda's existing franchises.
      o AMD unveiled that its "Vega"-architecture based GPUs have been selected to power LiquidSky's cloud gaming platform, enabling gamers to enjoy the power of "Vega" from virtually anywhere, and affordably through LiquidSky's low-cost and free subscription models.

my money will be going their way not out of pity but because they have great products at great prices

lack of mobo availability and micro itx boards has been really frustrating and slowing my efforts to give them my money

i so hope they can fully realize this turnaround and kick some butt for all our benefit

not from AMD, but from board maker...

Have a look on Biostar, ASRock and Galax you'l be able to find suitable mATX, DTX and ITX board

Outlook +12%. Compared to the bleak quarter a year earlier.
And thats with full force of Desktop Ryzen +/- R3.

This is slow, and nothing like "RiP Intel". AMD needs Mobile and Server ASAP.
I guess certification takes longer, else why go Desktop first.
Seems like AMD managed to minimize PC exposure just when High-end PC is doing better than ever.

BLEH!

Badum Tss, pun ho!

Good news, though. I'm waiting on the 12/16 core for a true upgrade, see what they're like, if not, 17/1800 somethingorother.

They still made no profit...and haven't in years. Only in AMD land can losing $73 million be a success.
