AMD Reports 2015 Third Quarter Results

1. In this earnings press release, in addition to GAAP financial results,   
   AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross    
   margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating expenses,   
   non-GAAP research and development and marketing, general and             
   administrative expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings
   (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect certain      
   adjustments as presented in the tables in this earnings press release.   
   AMD also provided adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow as         
   supplemental measures of its performance. These items are defined in the 
   footnotes to the selected corporate data tables provided at the end of   
   this earnings press release. AMD is providing these financial measures   
   because it believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for       
   investors to compare its operating results for current and historical    
   periods and also because AMD believes it assists investors in comparing  
   AMD's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by      
   excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core      
   operating performance and for the other reasons described in the CFO     
   Commentary.

*      The  Company  presents  "Adjusted  EBITDA"  as  a  supplemental  measure  of  its  
        performance.  Adjusted  EBITDA  for  the  Company  is  determined  by  adjusting  
        operating  income  (loss)  for  depreciation  and  amortization,  stock-based    
        compensation  expense  and  amortization  of  acquired  intangible  assets.  In  
        addition,  the  Company  also  excluded  the  following  adjustments  for  the      
        indicated  periods:  for  the  third  quarter  of  2015  and  nine  months  ended    
        September  26,  2015,  the  Company  excluded  restructuring  and  other                
        special  charges,  net,  for  the  second  quarter  of  2015  and  nine  months        
        ended  September  26,  2015,  the  Company  excluded  a  technology  node                
        transition  charge,  and  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  27,  2014,        
        the  Company  excluded  an  adjustment  for  workforce  rebalancing  severance    
        charges.  The  Company  calculates  and  communicates  Adjusted  EBITDA                
        because  the  Company's  management  believes  it  is  of  importance  to                
        investors  and  lenders  in  relation  to  its  overall  capital  structure  and    
        its  ability  to  borrow  additional  funds.  In  addition,  the  Company                
        presents  Adjusted  EBITDA  because  it  believes  this  measure  assists              
        investors  in  comparing  its  performance  across  reporting  periods  on  a        
        consistent  basis  by  excluding  items  that  the  Company  does  not  believe      
        are  indicative  of  its  core  operating  performance.  The  Company's                  
        calculation  of  Adjusted  EBITDA  may  or  may  not  be  consistent  with  the        
        calculation  of  this  measure  by  other  companies  in  the  same  industry.        
        Investors  should  not  view  Adjusted  EBITDA  as  an  alternative  to  the  GAAP  
        operating  measure  of  operating  income  (loss)  or  GAAP  liquidity  measures  
        of  cash  flows  from  operating,  investing  and  financing  activities.  In        
        addition,  Adjusted  EBITDA  does  not  take  into  account  changes  in  certain  
        assets  and  liabilities  as  well  as  interest  and  income  taxes  that  can        
        affect  cash  flows.                                                                                                            
**    The  Company  also  presents  non-GAAP  free  cash  flow  as  a  supplemental          
        measure  of  its  performance.  Non-GAAP  free  cash  flow  is  determined  by        
        adjusting  GAAP  net  cash  provided  by  (used  in)  operating  activities  for    
        capital  expenditures.  The  Company  calculates  and  communicates  non-GAAP    
        free  cash  flow  in  the  financial  earnings  press  release  because  the            
        Company's  management  believes  it  is  of  importance  to  investors  to              
        understand  the  nature  of  these  cash  flows.  The  Company's  calculation  of  
        non-GAAP  free  cash  flow  may  or  may  not  be  consistent  with  the                      
        calculation  of  this  measure  by  other  companies  in  the  same  industry.        
        Investors  should  not  view  non-GAAP  free  cash  flow  as  an  alternative  to    
        GAAP  liquidity  measures  of  cash  flows  from  operating  activities.  The        
        Company  has  provided  reconciliations  within  the  earnings  press  release    
        of  these  non-GAAP  financial  measures  to  the  most  directly  comparable        
        GAAP  financial  measures.
