Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) including AMD's expected fourth quarter 2016 revenue and expected 2016 revenue, the features, functionality, timing and availability of AMD's future products; AMD's expectation that it will deliver higher 2016 annual revenue based on stronger demand for AMD semi-custom solutions and Polaris GPUs; AMD's ability to accelerate growth as it introduces new high-performance computing and graphics products in 2017; and AMD's plans to further reduce its debt by deploying a significant portion of its remaining cash from its capital markets transactions, which are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as "would," "may," "expects," "believes," "plans," "intends," "projects" and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this document are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following: Intel Corporation's dominance of the microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may limit AMD's ability to compete effectively; AMD relies on GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC. (GF) to manufacture all of its microprocessor and accelerated processing unit (APU) products and a certain portion of its discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) products, with limited exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD's manufacturing requirements, its business could be adversely impacted; AMD relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies, AMD's business could be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for AMD's products could negatively impact its financial results; the success of AMD's business is dependent upon its ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels that provide value to its customers while supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be unable to make all of its planned investments in research and development or other strategic investments; the loss of a significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD; AMD's receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party products and the success of those products; global economic uncertainty may adversely impact AMD's business and operating results; AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a substantial amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD's notes and the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD that may adversely affect its ability to operate its business; the markets in which AMD's products are sold are highly competitive; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD's products could materially adversely affect it; the demand for AMD's products depends in part on the market conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations in demand for AMD's products or a market decline in any of these industries could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations; the completion and impact of the 2015 Restructuring Plan, its transformation initiatives and any future restructuring actions could adversely affect it; AMD's ability to design and introduce new products in a timely manner is dependent upon third-party intellectual property; AMD depends on third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform components to support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft Corporation's support for its products or other software vendors do not design and develop software to run on AMD's products, its ability to sell its products could be materially adversely affected; AMD's reliance on third-party distributors and AIB partners subjects it to certain risks; AMD's inability to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel may hinder its product development programs; in the event of a change of control, AMD may not be able to repurchase its outstanding debt as required by the applicable indentures and its Secured Revolving Line of Credit, which would result in a default under the indentures and its Secured Revolving Line of Credit; the semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and has experienced severe downturns that have materially adversely affected, and may continue to materially adversely affect its business in the future; acquisitions, divestitures and/or joint ventures could disrupt its business, harm its financial condition and operating results or dilute, or adversely affect the price of, its common stock; AMD's business is dependent upon the proper functioning of its internal business processes and information systems and modification or interruption of such systems may disrupt its business, processes and internal controls; data breaches and cyber-attacks could compromise AMD's intellectual property or other sensitive information, be costly to remediate and cause significant damage to its business and reputation; AMD's operating results are subject to quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; if essential equipment, materials or manufacturing processes are not available to manufacture its products, AMD could be materially adversely affected; if AMD's products are not compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware, it could be materially adversely affected; costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on AMD; if AMD fails to maintain the efficiency of its supply chain as it responds to changes in customer demand for its products, its business could be materially adversely affected; AMD outsources to third parties certain supply-chain logistics functions, including portions of its product distribution, transportation management and information technology support services; AMD may incur future impairments of goodwill; AMD's worldwide operations are subject to political, legal and economic risks and natural disasters, which could have a material adverse effect on it; worldwide political conditions may adversely affect demand for AMD's products; unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect AMD; AMD's inability to effectively control the sales of its products on the gray market could have a material adverse effect on it; if AMD cannot adequately protect its technology or other intellectual property in the United States and abroad, through patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other measures, it may lose a competitive advantage and incur significant expenses; AMD is a party to litigation and may become a party to other claims or litigation that could cause it to incur substantial costs or pay substantial damages or prohibit it from selling its products; AMD's business is subject to potential tax liabilities; and AMD is subject to environmental laws, conflict minerals-related provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as well as a variety of other laws or regulations that could result in additional costs and liabilities. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 25, 2016.

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 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.
2. Statement of "future-proof" refers to support of current and upcoming
technology standards including 14nm FinFET process technology, DirectX®12
and Vulkan™ API support, new display technology, and experiences such as
VR. "Future-proof" statement is not meant to serve as a warranty or
indicate that users will never have to upgrade their graphics technology
again. Support of current and upcoming technology standards described
above has the potential to reduce frequency of graphics upgrades for some
users.
3. Testing by AMD Performance labs. PC manufacturers may vary configurations
yielding different results. 3DMark 11 Performance is used to simulate
graphics performance, and Cinebench R11.5 1T Performance is used to
simulate single threaded CPU performance; the 7th Generation AMD PRO A12-
9800 at 65W scored 3521.25 and 1.21 while the AMD PRO A10-8850B at 95W
scored 2880 and 1.06 respectively. CPU Performance improvement:
1.21/1.06=1.14X or 14% more, Graphic Performance improvement:
3521.25/2880=1.22X or 22% more, Power Consumption improvement: (95W-
65W)/95W=0.32X or 32% less. BRPD-4

* 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 restructuring and other special charges, net.
In addition, the Company excluded a charge related to the sixth
amendment to the WSA with GF for the three and nine months ended
September 24, 2016, a technology node transition charge and
amortization of acquired intangible assets for the nine months ended
September 26, 2015. 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.
