Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 27, 2020, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company") announced its financial position and results of operations as of and for its third quarter ended September 26, 2020 in a press release that is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 is a presentation regarding the Company's third quarter 2020.
    The Company will hold a conference call on October 27, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. ET (5:00 a.m. PT) to discuss its third quarter 2020 financial results and forward-looking financial guidance.

To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) basis, the Company’s earnings press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. The Company uses a normalized tax rate in its computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2020, the Company uses a projected non-GAAP tax rate, which excludes the direct tax impacts of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, of approximately 3%, reflecting currently available information. The Company believes that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures make it easier for investors to compare its operating results for current and historical periods and also assist investors in comparing the Company's core performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it believes are not indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance. The Company cautions investors to carefully evaluate the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation and are not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The information in this report furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such subsequent filing specifically references the information furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this report.

Gross margin was 44 percent, up 1 percentage point year-over-year and flat quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by EPYC and Ryzen processor sales. Gross margin was flat quarter-over-quarter as an increase of Ryzen and EPYC processor sales was offset by a higher percentage of semi-custom revenue.
Operating income was $449 million compared to $186 million a year ago and $173 million in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP operating income was $525 million compared to $240 million a year ago and $233 million in the prior quarter.

*The Company presents “Adjusted EBITDA” as a supplemental measure of its performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is determined by adjusting GAAP net income for interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax provision (benefit), equity income on investee, stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company also included a loss contingency on legal matter in the nine months ended September 28, 2019. The Company calculates and presents Adjusted EBITDA because 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 income 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 that can affect cash flows.
**The Company also presents free cash flow as a supplemental Non-GAAP measure of its performance. Free cash flow is determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for capital expenditures. The Company calculates and communicates free cash flow in the financial earnings press release because management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Company’s calculation of 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 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.

(AMD) such as the features, functionality, performance, availability, timing and expected benefits of AMD products, including Radeon™ RX 6000 series GPUs and next generation “Milan” server processors; semi-custom shipments and revenue expectations; AMD’s financial outlook for the fourth quarter of 2020 and fiscal 2020, including, revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, non-GAAP interest expense, taxes and other, non-GAAP taxes, and diluted share count; and AMD’s leadership roadmaps, execution excellence, sustained market share gains and strong financial returns, 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 presentation are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this presentation 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; the ability of third party manufacturers to manufacture AMD's products on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies; expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products; AMD's ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels that provide value to its customers; global economic uncertainty; the loss of a significant customer; AMD's ability to generate revenue from its semi-custom SoC products; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on AMD’s business, financial condition and results of operations; political, legal, economic risks and natural disasters; the impact of government actions and regulations such as export administration regulations, tariffs and trade protection measures; potential security vulnerabilities; potential IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyber-attacks; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD’s products; quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; the restrictions imposed by agreements governing AMD’s notes and the secured credit facility; the competitive markets in which AMD’s products are sold; AMD's ability to generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing for research and development or other strategic investments; the potential dilutive effect if the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 are converted; market conditions of the industries in which AMD products are sold; AMD’s reliance on third-party intellectual property to design and introduce new products in a timely manner; AMD's reliance on third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform components; AMD's reliance on Microsoft Corporation and other software vendors' support to design and develop software to run on AMD’s products; AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and add-in-board partners; future impairments of goodwill and technology license purchases; AMD’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; AMD's indebtedness; AMD's ability to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations or meet its working capital requirements; AMD's ability to repurchase its outstanding debt in the event of a change of control; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; the impact of acquisitions, joint ventures and/or investments on AMD's business; the impact of modification or interruption of AMD’s internal business processes and information systems; the availability of essential equipment, materials or manufacturing processes; compatibility of AMD’s products with some or all industry-standard software and hardware; costs related to defective products; the efficiency of AMD's supply chain; AMD's ability to rely on third party supply-chain logistics functions; AMD’s stock price volatility; worldwide political conditions; unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations; AMD’s ability to effectively control the sales of its products on the gray market; AMD's ability to adequately protect its technology or other intellectual property; current and future claims and litigation; potential tax liabilities; and the impact of environmental laws, conflict minerals-related provisions and other laws or regulations. 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 27, 2020. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES In this presentation, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share and free cash flow. AMD uses a normalized tax rate in its computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2020, AMD uses a projected non-GAAP tax rate, which excludes the direct tax impacts of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, of approximately 3%, reflecting currently available information. 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. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this presentation should be viewed in addition to and not as a substitute for or superior to AMD’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with AMD’s Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures referenced are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the Appendices at the end of this presentation. This presentation also contains forward-looking non-GAAP measures concerning AMD’s financial outlook such as gross margin, operating expenses, interest expense, taxes and other. These forward- looking non-GAAP measures are based on current expectations as of October 27, 2020 and assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. AMD undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise its outlook statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. 2 THIRD QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS | OCTOBER 27, 2020

See Cautionary Statement on Slide 2. These forward-looking outlook statements and non-GAAP measures are based on current expectations as of October 27, 2020 and assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. AMD undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise its outlook statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. All items, except revenue are on a non-GAAP basis. Adjustments to arrive at the GAAP financial outlook typically include stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt, income tax provision, equity (income) loss in investee, and other non-recurring items such as loss on debt redemption/conversion, impairment charges, and loss contingency on legal matters. The timing and impact of such adjustments are dependent on future events that are typically uncertain or outside of AMD's control; therefore, a reconciliation to equivalent GAAP measures is not practicable at this time. 2.

The 53 million shares (28 million weighted-average) issued in exchange for $428 million of convertible debt in Q4’19 were not included as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Q3’20 GAAP diluted EPS calculation includes 11 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the Company's 2026 Convertible Notes and the associated $1 million interest expense add-back to net income under the "if converted" method. The 20 million shares (15 million weighted-average) issued in exchange for $165 million of convertible debt in Q3’20 were not included as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 23 THIRD QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS | OCTOBER 27, 2020


 
APPENDICES Share Count Overview (1) Q1'20 Q2'20 Q3’20 Q4’20 2020 Shares (millions) Actual Actual Actual Estimate Estimate Basic Shares 1,170 1,174 1,184 1,203 1,183 Dilutive impacts from: Employee Equity Grants (2) 23 22 20 17 20 Diluted Shares (without 2026 Convertible Notes) 1,193 1,196 1,204 1,220 1,203 2026 Convertible Notes – GAAP (3) 31 31 11 11 11 Diluted Shares (with 2026 Convertible Notes) – GAAP 1,224 1,227 1,215 1,231 1,214 2026 Convertible Notes – Non-GAAP (3) 31 31 26 11 25 Diluted Shares (with 2026 Convertible Notes) – Non-GAAP 1,224 1,227 1,230 1,231 1,228 The table above provides actual share count for Q1’20, Q2’20 and Q3’20, and an estimate of share count that may be used when calculating GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for Q4'20 and FY'20. (1) Share counts are weighted average shares. (2) The dilutive impact of employee equity grants is based on the Treasury Stock method and is dependent upon the average stock price during the period. The Q3’20, Q2’20 and Q1’20 average stock price was $73.20, $52.87 and $48.14, respectively. The Q3’20 average stock price of $73.20 was assumed for the Q4’20 and FY’20 estimates. (3) The dilutive impact from the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (2026 Convertible Notes) is based on the If-Converted method, where the interest costs associated with the 2026 Convertible Notes are added back to the Net Income and the shares underlying the 2026 Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted and are added to the share count. The impact from the 2026 Convertible Notes, if dilutive, is included in diluted EPS calculation. For the GAAP computation, the add-back to net income includes cash and non-cash interest expense, while only the cash interest expense is added back to the non-GAAP net income. The dilutive shares associated with the 2026 Convertible Notes reflect the weighted average shares subject to conversion during each period. During Q3’20, 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to convert $165 million of the outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes. Moving forward, assuming positive earnings per share, the potential factors we expect may impact AMD's diluted share count include: • On-going employee equity grants, and • The 2026 Convertible Notes, which have 11 million underlying shares. 24 THIRD QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS | OCTOBER 27, 2020
