Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements | |||||
| Note 1 : | Basis of Presentation | ||||
We prepared our interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 2025 Form 10-K.
We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with our 2025 Form 10-K where we include additional information on our accounting policies and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates.
| Note 2 : | Operating Segments | ||||
We organize and manage our business as follows:
▪Intel Products:
▪Client Computing Group (CCG)
▪Data Center and AI (DCAI)
▪Intel Foundry
▪All Other
▪Mobileye
▪Other
CCG, DCAI and Intel Foundry are our reportable operating segments. In addition to these reportable segments, we present an "all other" category, which is not a reportable segment. When we enter into federal contracts, they are aligned to the sponsoring operating segment.
The accounting policies applied to our segments follow those used by Intel as a whole. A summary of the basis for which we report our operating segment revenues and operating margin is as follows:
Intel Products: CCG and DCAI
▪Segment revenue: consists of revenues from external customers. Our Intel Products operating segments represent most of Intel consolidated revenue and are derived from our principal products that incorporate various components and technologies, including a microprocessor and chipset, a stand-alone SoC, or a multichip package, which are based on Intel architecture.
▪Segment expenses: consists of intersegment charges for product manufacturing and related services from Intel Foundry, external foundry and other manufacturing expenses, product development costs, allocated expenses as described below and direct operating expenses.
Intel Foundry
▪Segment revenue: consists substantially of intersegment product and services revenue for wafer fabrication, substrates and other related products and services sold to Intel Products and certain other Intel internal businesses. We recognize intersegment revenue based on the completion of performance obligations. Product revenue is recognized upon transfer of ownership, which is generally at the completion of wafer sorting. Backend service revenue is recognized upon the completion of assembly and test milestones, which approximates the recognition of revenue over the service period. Intersegment sales are recorded at prices that are intended to approximate market pricing. Intel Foundry also includes certain third-party foundry and assembly and test revenues from external customers that totaled $174 million in the first three months of 2026 and $31 million in the first three months of 2025.
▪Segment expenses: consists of direct expenses for technology development, product manufacturing and services provided by Intel Foundry to internal and external customers, allocated expenses as described below and direct operating expenses. Direct expenses for product manufacturing include excess capacity charges, if any.
| Financial Statements | Notes to Financial Statements | 8 | |||||||||
All Other
Our "all other" category includes the results of operations from non-reportable segments, including our Mobileye business, our IMS business, start-up businesses that support our initiatives and historical results of operations from divested businesses, including Altera. Altera, which was previously a wholly owned subsidiary, was deconsolidated from our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements effective September 12, 2025, following the closing of the sale of 51 % of Altera's issued and outstanding common stock. Altera's financial results of operations were included in our "all other" category through September 11, 2025. The financial results of our "all other" category include intersegment product and services revenue and intersegment expenses primarily between Altera and our Intel Foundry segment during the periods in which we consolidated Altera.
We allocate operating expenses from our sales and marketing group to the Intel Products operating segments and allocate substantially all our operating expenses from our general and administration groups to our reportable operating segments.
We estimate that the substantial majority of our consolidated depreciation expense in the first three months of 2026 and 2025 was incurred by Intel Foundry. Intel Foundry depreciation expense is substantially included in overhead cost pools and then combined with other costs, and subsequently absorbed into inventory as each product passes through the manufacturing process and is sold to Intel Products or other customers. As a result, it is impracticable to determine the total depreciation expense included as a component of each Intel Products operating segment's operating income (loss).
We do not allocate the following corporate operating expenses to our operating segments:
▪restructuring and other charges;
▪share-based compensation; and
▪certain acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill.
We do not allocate the following non-operating items to our operating segments:
▪gains and losses from equity investments;
▪interest and other, net; and
▪income taxes.
Our CEO is our CODM. The CODM uses segment revenue and segment operating income (loss) to evaluate each segment's performance and allocate resources. These financial measures are utilized during our budgeting and forecasting process to assess profitability and enable decision making regarding strategic initiatives, capital investments and personnel across all operating segments. Segment operating results regularly reviewed by our CODM also include total cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributable to each segment. We centrally manage all procurement, treasury and asset management functions across the enterprise and do not maintain separate balance sheets by segment within our systems of record, nor does our CODM receive total asset information by segment for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources.
Intersegment eliminations: Intersegment sales and related gross profit on inventory recorded at the end of the period or sold through to third-party customers is eliminated for consolidation purposes. The Intel Products operating segments and Intel Foundry are meant to reflect separate fabless semiconductor and foundry companies, respectively. Thus, certain intersegment activity is captured within the intersegment eliminations upon consolidation and presented at the Intel consolidated level. This activity primarily relates to inventory reserves, which are determined and recorded based on our accounting policies for Intel as a whole but are only recorded by the Intel Products operating segments upon transfer of inventory from Intel Foundry. If a reserve is identified that relates to neither Intel Products operating segments nor Intel Foundry, the reserve is recognized as activity within the intersegment eliminations for Intel on a consolidated basis.
Net revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses and operating income (loss) for each period were as follows:

Semiconductor Co-Investment Program
Ireland SCIP
As of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, we consolidated the results of a limited liability company (Ireland SCIP), a VIE that related to our Intel-owned, Ireland-based wafer fabrication plant (Fab 34), into our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements because we were the primary beneficiary. Generally, distributions were received from Ireland SCIP based on each investor's respective ownership of Ireland SCIP, of which Intel's was 51 % as of March 28, 2026. Ireland SCIP has rights to factory output of Fab 34 and rights to resell the factory output to us. We retain sole ownership of Fab 34 and we are engaged as the Fab 34 operator in exchange for variable payments from Ireland SCIP based on the related factory output.
As of March 28, 2026 we were required to substantially complete construction of Fab 34 in accordance with contractual parameters and timelines or we would be required to pay delay-related liquidated damages to Apollo, the other investor, beginning in the second half of 2026, not to exceed $1.1 billion in total. Since December 28, 2024, we expected certain construction milestones for Fab 34 would be delayed as we refined our near-term production capacity requirements and related capital outlays relative to those that are required per the Ireland SCIP agreement. The liquidated damage provisions qualified as a non-designated derivative, which we recognized within other accrued liabilities for $359 million and other long-term liabilities for $173 million as of March 28, 2026 ($179 million in other accrued liabilities and $576 million in other long-term liabilities as of December 27, 2025). Though we continue to expect certain construction delays in the near term, we intend to complete construction of Fab 34 and, in the first quarter of 2026, our expectations regarding the achievement of certain construction milestones evolved favorably and, as a result, we recognized a benefit of $223 million within interest and other, net related to a reduction in the fair value of the liquidated damages liability we expected to pay pursuant to this contractual arrangement. Prior to April 2026, we were required to purchase minimum quantities of the related factory output from Ireland SCIP, or we would be subject to certain volume-related damages payable to Ireland SCIP, beginning at the earlier of when construction is complete or the third quarter of 2027.
As of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, other than cash and cash equivalents held by Ireland SCIP, substantially all of the remaining assets and liabilities of Ireland SCIP were eliminated in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
In April 2026, we reacquired Apollo's 49 % minority ownership interest in Ireland SCIP for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $14.2 billion, inclusive of estimated transaction costs. The equity transaction will be recognized in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in the second quarter of 2026 and will reflect that we own 100 % of Ireland SCIP; the substantial termination of existing related operating and other ancillary agreements between Ireland SCIP, ourselves and Apollo; the elimination of the non-controlling interest balance related to Ireland SCIP; and the extinguishment of our derivative liability associated with the delay-related liquidated damage provisions (refer to the discussion above and “Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments” within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Any residual consideration will be recorded as a decrease to our capital in excess of par value.
Arizona SCIP
We consolidate the results of an Arizona limited liability company (Arizona SCIP), a VIE, into our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements because we are the primary beneficiary. Contributions and distributions made between Arizona SCIP and investors are generally made based on our and Brookfield's proportional ownership interest in Arizona SCIP.
We are the primary beneficiary of two new chip factories still partially under construction by Arizona SCIP; we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the underlying assets will be used and to purchase 100 % of the wafer output. During the year ended December 27, 2025, Arizona SCIP began placing manufacturing assets into service, making the assets available for our use. The production contract commenced in the first quarter of 2026 and we are required to both operate Arizona SCIP at minimum production levels and limit excess inventory held on site or we will be subject to certain volume-related damages payable to Arizona SCIP.
The property, plant, and equipment assets owned by Arizona SCIP and included in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2026, which are not available to us as they can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE, consisted of construction in progress assets of $5.8 billion ($5.6 billion as of December 27, 2025) and assets that have been placed into service of $13.0 billion ($12.2 billion as of December 27, 2025). The remaining assets and liabilities of Arizona SCIP were eliminated in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Mobileye
We consolidate our majority owned subsidiary Mobileye pursuant to the voting interest model. In the first quarter of 2026, the non-cash impairment of goodwill related to our Mobileye reporting unit was attributed to Intel and to non-controlling interest holders based on our proportional ownership (see "Note 10: Goodwill" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

| Note 4 : | Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Stockholders' Equity | ||||
We computed basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock that, during the period, are outstanding or are considered not contingently issuable based on the terms of the Warrant and Common Stock Agreement (U.S. Government Agreement). We computed diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period, if applicable.

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock from employee equity incentive plans and stock issuances are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding RSUs, and the assumed issuance of common stock under the stock purchase plan.
The dilutive impact from the assumed issuance of common stock associated with contractual transactions, including the release of Escrowed Shares under Secure Enclave, that settled during the three months ended March 28, 2026 is determined from the date of the beginning of the period to the date the Escrowed Shares are released. We reflect these contractual transactions in the calculation of diluted EPS, as applicable, using the treasury stock method.
Due to our net losses in the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding RSUs, the assumed issuance of common stock under the stock purchase plan, and the assumed issuance of common stock associated with equity issuance agreements, including Escrowed Shares released, and a contractual conversion feature, as applicable, had an anti-dilutive effect on and were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share attributable to Intel. For the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, securities that would have been anti-dilutive were insignificant.
Escrowed Shares Issued to the U.S. Government
Per the terms of our previously-disclosed U.S. Government Agreement that we entered into with the DOC on August 22, 2025, during the three months ended March 28, 2026, we released 6 million Escrowed Shares upon receipt of cash proceeds for our performance under Secure Enclave.
During the three months ended March 28, 2026, we recognized $1.1 3.6 billion at March 28, 2026 and $2.7 billion at December 27, 2025, which we have recognized within other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities.
Of the 149 million Escrowed Shares not yet released, 75 million are considered not contingently issuable based on the terms of the U.S. Government Agreement and, as such, have been included in our computation of basic earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 28, 2026. The remaining 75 million Escrowed Shares not yet released are considered contingently issuable based on the DOC's disbursements under Secure Enclave and, therefore, are excluded from basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share until the contingencies are met.

Restricted Cash
We have $448 million of restricted cash included in other long-term assets within the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2026 ($447 million as of December 27, 2025) and included within cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 28, 2026. The restricted cash serves as collateral for third-party arrangements we entered into and is considered legally restricted due to limitations on usage and withdrawal.
Accounts Receivable
We may sell certain of our accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. We record these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. We did not sell any accounts receivable under non-recourse factoring arrangements during the first three months of 2026 ($800 million were sold during the first three months of 2025). After the sale of our accounts receivable, we expect to collect payment from the customers and remit it to the third-party financial institution.

In the second quarter of 2025, we announced and commenced the 2025 Restructuring Plan, which was subsequently approved and committed to by our management. This initiative is intended to lower expenses, streamline our organizational structure and reduce management layers across functions while reallocating resources toward our core client and server businesses by reducing lower-priority programs and initiatives. Restructuring charges are primarily comprised of employee severance and benefit arrangements, non-cash asset impairment and accelerated depreciation charges resulting from exit activities, as well as impairment charges relating to real estate exits and consolidations. These charges were excluded from our operating segments' results and included as "corporate unallocated expenses" within the restructuring and other charges category presented in "Note 2: Operating Segments" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The total expected and cumulative cost of the 2025 Restructuring Plan as of March 28, 2026 was $2.2 billion. Any changes to our estimates or timing will be reflected in our results of operations in future periods. The substantial majority of actions pursuant to the 2025 Restructuring Plan were completed in 2025 with the remainder expected to be completed in 2026.
In the third quarter of 2024, the 2024 Restructuring Plan was announced and a series of cost and capital reduction initiatives were implemented. We have incurred total charges of approximately $3.2 billion under the 2024 Restructuring Plan, which is expected to be completed in 2026.
Employee severance and benefit arrangements included net charges of $74 million during the three months ended March 28, 2026, primarily resulting from charges related to the 2025 Restructuring Plan. Other charges incurred during the three months ended March 28, 2026, as well as charges incurred during the three months ended March 29, 2025, related to the 2024 Restructuring Plan.

Short-term Investments
Short-term investments include marketable debt investments in corporate debt, government debt, and financial institution instruments, and are recorded within cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Government debt includes instruments such as non-U.S. government bills and bonds and U.S. agency securities. Financial institution instruments include instruments issued or managed by financial institutions in various forms, such as fixed- and floating-rate bonds, money market fund deposits, and time deposits. As of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, a substantial majority of time deposits were issued by institutions outside the U.S.
The fair value of our economically hedged marketable debt investments was $13.0 billion as of March 28, 2026 ($21.8 billion as of December 27, 2025). For economically hedged investments still held at the reporting date, we recorded net losses of $181 million in the first three months of 2026 (net gains of $190 million in the first three months of 2025).
Our remaining unhedged marketable debt investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The adjusted cost of our unhedged investments was $15.5 billion as of March 28, 2026 ($10.6 billion as of December 27, 2025), which approximated the fair value at each date.

| Note 9 : | Acquisitions and Divestitures | ||||
Mobileye's Acquisition of Mentee Robotics
On February 3, 2026, Mobileye closed the acquisition of Mentee Robotics, an AI-first humanoid robotics company, for a purchase price of $637 million. Acquisition consideration consisted primarily of $596 million in cash, net of cash acquired, with the residual in Mobileye's Class A shares that are not contingent on continuing employment. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was primarily allocated to intangible assets of $128 million and goodwill of $498 million. The goodwill arising from the acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits that will be generated from the combination of Mobileye and Mentee Robotics, and the acquisition-related intangible assets are related to developed technology. We expect the goodwill to be deductible for U.S. tax purposes. The operating results of Mentee Robotics are included in Mobileye's financial results, which were not material for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and are included in our "all other" category of non-reportable segments. Our accounting for the transaction is based on our preliminary valuations and estimates and may be subject to change if additional information becomes available.
Altera Divestiture
On April 14, 2025, we signed a transaction agreement with SLP VII Gryphon Aggregator, L.P., an affiliate of SLP, to sell 51 % of all issued and outstanding common stock of Altera, our wholly owned subsidiary as of that date. On September 12, 2025, we completed the divestiture of 51 % of Altera for net purchase consideration of $4.3 billion, consisting of: $4.8 billion in cash proceeds received within the third quarter of 2025; $500 million in deferred cash proceeds payable to us no later than December 31, 2027; an offset of $400 million for cash transferred to Altera with the sale; an offset of approximately $469 million for separation and employee-related costs we have agreed to fund to SLP; and an offset for other direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the sale.
As of March 28, 2026, the outstanding receivable from SLP was $468 million ($463 million as of December 27, 2025) recorded within other long-term assets for the present value of deferred consideration, which is not subject to any contingencies. As of March 28, 2026, $260 million and $63 million are recorded within other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities ($327 million and $97 million as of December 27, 2025), respectively, for amounts payable to SLP for separation and employee-related costs that have not yet been paid and that relate to the transaction.
Upon closing the transaction, we retained a 49 % minority investment in Altera, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We established the fair value of our non-marketable equity investment in reference to Altera's equity value per the terms of the transaction agreement as the transaction negotiated with SLP represented an orderly transaction between market participants.
Based on the terms of the transaction agreement with SLP, we have concluded that Altera is a VIE for which we are not the primary beneficiary because the governance structure of the entity does not allow us to direct the activities that most significantly impact Altera's economic performance. In line with this conclusion, we deconsolidated Altera from our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at the September 12, 2025 transaction close date.
NAND Memory Business
We sold our NAND memory technology and manufacturing business to SK hynix, which we deconsolidated upon closing the first phase of the transaction on December 29, 2021. On March 27, 2025, we closed the second phase of the transaction, collected the outstanding receivable and entered into a final release and settlement agreement with SK hynix primarily related to certain penalties and contingencies associated with the manufacturing and sale agreement between us and SK hynix. For the three months ended March 29, 2025, we recognized net charges of $94 million within interest and other, net for the amounts incurred pursuant to this agreement and recorded net proceeds of $1.9 billion within cash and cash equivalents.
| Financial Statements | Notes to Financial Statements | 16 | |||||||||
| Note 10 : | Goodwill | ||||
In the first quarter of 2026, we recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $3.9 billion within restructuring and other charges in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, substantially all of which related to our Mobileye reporting unit.
Our quarterly qualitative impairment assessment for the first quarter of 2026 indicated that a more detailed quantitative analysis was necessary for our Mobileye reporting unit. This conclusion was driven by the presence of impairment indicators, including the sustained decline in Mobileye’s market capitalization since our most recent assessment date in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as increased uncertainty in the broader macroeconomic and geopolitical environment in which Mobileye operates.
Our quantitative assessment for the first quarter of 2026 was performed by measuring the Mobileye reporting unit's fair value using the income approach. When using the income approach, we tested the reasonableness of the inputs and outcomes of our discounted cash flow analysis against available market data. As part of this first quarter of 2026 quantitative assessment, we determined that a significant increase in the discount rate was required relative to the discount rate used in our quantitative assessment in the fourth quarter of 2025, which resulted from higher market‑based and Mobileye-specific risk premiums arising from changes in global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened geopolitical risks associated with operations in the Middle East, including the current conflict, and increased uncertainty related to Mobileye's evolving competitive landscape. Collectively, these factors increased market‑participant uncertainty regarding Mobileye's ability to execute and optimize revenue from its business pipeline and the long-term competitive positioning of certain Mobileye technologies, particularly with regard to increasingly advanced autonomous driving solutions. As a result, for the forecasted cash flows utilized in our first quarter of 2026 quantitative assessment, greater risk was attributed to the forecasted cash flows in later projection periods, which contributed to the higher discount rate applied in the income‑based valuation.
The increase in the discount rate utilized in our first quarter of 2026 quantitative assessment had a significant adverse effect on the estimated fair value of the Mobileye reporting unit and, as a result of our impairment test, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of 2026 as the estimated fair value of the Mobileye reporting unit was lower than the assigned carrying value. To corroborate our estimated fair value of the Mobileye reporting unit, we performed a reconciliation to Mobileye's market capitalization as of March 28, 2026, concluding that the implied control premium was reasonable as compared to relevant market transactions in similar industries. As of March 28, 2026, our Mobileye reporting unit had $4.3 billion in recorded goodwill ($8.2 billion as of December 27, 2025).
| Note 11 : | Borrowings | ||||
In the first quarter of 2026, we settled $1.5 billion of our senior notes due February 2026 and amended our 364-day $5.0 billion credit facility agreement to a three-year $3.0 billion credit facility maturing January 2029. Neither of our revolving credit facilities had borrowings outstanding as of March 28, 2026 or December 27, 2025.
In April 2026, in connection with our repurchase of the 49 % minority ownership interest in Ireland SCIP (refer to “Note 3: Non-Controlling Interests” within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), we executed and drew on a $6.5 billion 364-day senior unsecured term loan facility with an interest rate of 4.79 %. The repurchase and term loan will be reflected in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in the second quarter of 2026.

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Our non-marketable equity investments and certain non-financial assets—such as intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant, and equipment—are recorded at fair value only if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period. If an observable price adjustment or impairment is recognized on our non-marketable equity investments during the period, we classify these assets as Level 3. Similarly, impairments recognized on our goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant, and equipment are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as we utilize unobservable inputs such as prospective financial information, market segment growth rates, and discount rates in the fair value measurement process. The fair value used to measure the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.9 billion related to our Mobileye reporting unit in the first quarter of 2026 represents a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy (see "Note 10: Goodwill" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include non-marketable equity investments that have not been remeasured or impaired in the current period, grants receivable, issued debt, and our outstanding receivable from SLP of $468 million, which was measured and recorded using Level 2 inputs, as of March 28, 2026 ($463 million as of December 27, 2025).

Legal Proceedings
We are regularly party to various ongoing claims, litigation, and other proceedings, including those noted in this section. As of March 28, 2026, we have accrued liabilities of $1.0 billion related to litigation involving VLSI and $310 million, including revaluation effects and accrued interest, related to an EC-imposed fine, both as described below. Excluding the VLSI claims described below, management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends; however, legal proceedings and related government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings, excessive verdicts, or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include substantial monetary damages, fines, or penalties. Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative, substantial, or indeterminate monetary awards. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices, or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends. We might also conclude that settling one or more such matters is in the best interests of our stockholders, employees, and customers, and any such settlement could include substantial payments. Unless specifically described below, we have not concluded that settlement of any of the legal proceedings noted in this section is appropriate at this time.

European Commission Competition Matter
In 2009, the EC found that we had used unfair business practices to persuade customers to buy microprocessors in violation of Article 82 of the EC Treaty (later renumbered Article 102) and Article 54 of the European Economic Area Agreement. In general, the EC found that we violated Article 82 by offering alleged “conditional rebates and payments” that required customers to purchase all or most of their x86 microprocessors from us and by making alleged “payments to prevent sales of specific rival products.” The EC ordered us to end the alleged infringement referred to in its decision and imposed a €1.1 billion fine, which we paid in the third quarter of 2009.
We appealed the EC decision to the European Court of Justice in 2014, after the General Court (then called the Court of First Instance) rejected our appeal of the EC decision in its entirety. In September 2017, the Court of Justice sent the case back to the General Court to examine whether the rebates at issue were capable of restricting competition. In January 2022, the General Court annulled the EC's 2009 findings against us regarding rebates, as well as the €1.1 billion fine imposed on Intel, which was returned to us in February 2022. The General Court's January 2022 decision did not annul the EC's 2009 finding that we made payments to prevent sales of specific rival products.
In April 2022, the EC appealed the General Court's findings regarding rebates to the Court of Justice. In October 2024, the Court of Justice dismissed the EC's appeal, upholding the judgment of the General Court.
In September 2023, the EC imposed a €376 million ($401 million) fine against us based on its 2009 finding that we made payments to prevent sales of specific rival products. We appealed the EC's decision, and in December 2025 the General Court reduced the fine to €237 million ($277 million). In February 2026, we appealed the General Court’s decision to the Court of Justice. We have accrued a charge of $310 million as of March 28, 2026, which includes foreign currency revaluation effects and accrued interest, and are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses in excess of this amount given the procedural posture and the nature of these proceedings.
Litigation Related to Security Vulnerabilities
In June 2017, a Google research team notified Intel and other companies that it had identified security vulnerabilities, the first variants of which are now commonly referred to as “Spectre” and “Meltdown,” that affect many types of microprocessors, including our products. As is standard when findings like these are presented, we worked together with other companies in the industry to verify the research and develop and validate software and firmware updates for impacted technologies. In January 2018, information on the security vulnerabilities was publicly reported, before software and firmware updates to address the vulnerabilities were made widely available.
Consumer class action lawsuits are pending against us in the U.S. and Canada. The plaintiffs, who purport to represent various classes of purchasers of our products, generally claim to have been harmed by our actions and/or omissions in connection with Spectre, Meltdown, and other variants of this class of security vulnerabilities that have been identified since 2018, and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages and equitable relief. In the U.S., class action suits filed in various jurisdictions between 2018 and 2021 were consolidated for all pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, which entered final judgment in favor of Intel in July 2022 based on plaintiffs' failure to plead a viable claim. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's judgment in November 2023, ending the litigation. In November 2023, new plaintiffs filed a consumer class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California with respect to a further vulnerability variant disclosed in August 2023 and commonly referred to as “Downfall.” In August 2024, the district court dismissed plaintiffs' entire complaint for failure to plead a viable claim, with leave to amend. In August 2025, the district court dismissed with prejudice the nationwide class claims under California law in plaintiffs' amended complaint, and denied Intel's motion to dismiss subclass claims pleaded in the alternative under the laws of certain other states. In October 2025, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which Intel moved to dismiss in December 2025. In Canada, an initial status conference has not yet been scheduled in one case relating to Spectre and Meltdown pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, and a stay of a second case pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Quebec is in effect. Additional lawsuits and claims may be asserted seeking monetary damages or other related relief. Given the procedural posture and the nature of these cases, including that the pending proceedings are in the early stages, that alleged damages have not been specified, that uncertainty exists as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class or classes if certified, and that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from these matters.
Securities Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits
Litigation Related to Segment Reporting and Internal Foundry Model
A securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in May 2024 against us and certain officers following the modification of our segment reporting in the first quarter of 2024 to align to our new internal foundry operating model. In August 2024, the court ordered the case consolidated with a second, similar lawsuit, and in October 2024 plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint generally alleging that defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements about the growth and prospects of the foundry business and seeking monetary damages on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock or purchased call options or sold put options on our common stock from January 25, 2024 through August 1, 2024. In March 2025, the court dismissed plaintiffs' amended consolidated complaint, finding that plaintiffs failed to plead any false or misleading statements by defendants. The court granted plaintiffs leave to amend, but in July 2025 dismissed plaintiffs' second amended complaint and entered judgment in defendants' favor, again finding that plaintiffs failed to plead any false or misleading statements. Plaintiffs have appealed. Given the procedural posture of the case, including that the plaintiffs have appealed the district court's decision, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from the matter.

Stockholder derivative lawsuits have been filed in Delaware state and federal courts alleging that our directors and certain officers breached their fiduciary duties and violated the federal securities laws by making or allowing the statements that are challenged in the securities class action lawsuit. The plaintiffs in the derivative lawsuits seek to recover damages from the defendants on behalf of Intel. The cases are stayed pending developments in the securities class action lawsuit.
Litigation Related to Warrant and Common Stock Agreement between Intel and the U.S. Department of Commerce
A stockholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery in March 2026 against our directors, the Department of Commerce and Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Howard W. Lutnick, claiming our directors breached their fiduciary duties and engaged in waste by approving the Warrant and Common Stock Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2025, between us and the U.S. Department of Commerce, and that the agreement was unlawful. Plaintiff seeks invalidation of the agreement, as well as damages on our behalf. In April 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
Litigation Related to Patent and IP Claims
We have had IP infringement lawsuits filed against us, including but not limited to those discussed below. Most involve claims that certain of our products, services, and technologies infringe others' IP rights. Adverse results in these lawsuits may include awards of substantial fines and penalties, costly royalty or licensing agreements, or orders preventing us from offering certain features, functionalities, products, or services. As a result, we may have to change our business practices, and develop non-infringing products or technologies, which could result in a loss of revenue for us and otherwise harm our business. In addition, certain agreements with our customers require us to indemnify them against certain IP infringement claims, which can increase our costs as a result of defending such claims, and may require that we pay significant damages, accept product returns, or supply our customers with non-infringing products if there were an adverse ruling in any such claims. In addition, our customers and partners may discontinue the use of our products, services, and technologies, as a result of injunctions or otherwise, which could result in loss of revenue and adversely affect our business.
VLSI Technology LLC v. Intel
In October 2017, VLSI Technology LLC (VLSI) filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that various Intel FPGA and processor products infringe eight patents VLSI acquired from NXP Semiconductors, N.V. (NXP). VLSI sought damages, attorneys' fees, costs, and interest. Intel prevailed on all eight patents and the court entered final judgment in April 2024. VLSI appealed the Court's judgment of non-infringement as to one of the eight patents. In April 2026, the Federal Circuit reversed and remanded the case back to the District Court, VLSI filed three infringement suits against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas accusing various of our processors of infringement of eight additional patents it had acquired from NXP:
▪The first Texas case went to trial in February 2021, and the jury awarded VLSI $1.5 billion for literal infringement of one patent and $675 million for infringement of another patent under the doctrine of equivalents. In April 2022, the court entered final judgment, awarding VLSI $2.2 billion in damages and approximately $162 million in pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. We appealed the judgment to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, including the court's rejection of Intel's claim to have a license from Fortress Investment Group's acquisition of Finjan. The Federal Circuit Court heard oral argument in October 2023. In December 2023, the Federal Circuit reversed the finding of infringement as to the patent for which VLSI was awarded $675 million. The Federal Circuit affirmed the finding of infringement as to the patent for which VLSI had been awarded $1.5 billion, but vacated the damages award and sent the case back to the trial court for further damages proceedings on that patent. The Federal Circuit also ruled that Intel can advance the defense that it is licensed to VLSI's patents. In December 2021 and January 2022 the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) instituted Inter Partes Reviews (IPR) on the claims found to have been infringed in the first Texas case, and in May and June 2023 found all of those claims unpatentable; VLSI has appealed the PTAB's decisions. The appeal is set for oral argument before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in May 2026. In April 2024, Intel moved to add the defense that it is licensed to VLSI's patents. The motion remains pending.
▪The second Texas case went to trial in April 2021, and the jury found that we do not infringe the asserted patents. VLSI had sought approximately $3.0 billion for alleged infringement, plus enhanced damages for willful infringement. In September 2024, the court denied VLSI's motion for a new trial. Other post-trial motions remain pending, and the court has not yet entered final judgment.
▪The third Texas case went to trial in November 2022, with VLSI asserting one remaining patent. The jury found the patent valid and infringed, and awarded VLSI approximately $949 million in damages, plus interest and a running royalty. The court has not yet entered final judgment. In February 2023, we filed motions for a new trial and for judgment as a matter of law notwithstanding the verdict on various grounds. Further appeals are possible. In April 2024, Intel moved to add the defense that it is licensed to VLSI's patents, and the court granted Intel's motion that same month. In May 2025, the court held a trial on an underlying factual question relating to Intel’s license defense. The jury returned a verdict in Intel's favor. Post-trial briefing is complete, and the court will address the ultimate legal issue of whether Intel obtained a license to the asserted VLSI patent through Intel’s license agreement with Finjan when Fortress Investments acquired Finjan.

In May 2019, VLSI filed a case in Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court against Intel, Intel (China) Co., Ltd., Intel Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Intel Products (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. VLSI asserted one patent against certain Intel Core processors. Defendants filed an invalidation petition in October 2019 with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) which held a hearing in September 2021. The Shenzhen court held trial proceedings in July 2021 and September 2023. VLSI sought an injunction as well as RMB 1.3 million in costs and expenses, but no damages. In September 2023, the CNIPA invalidated every claim of the asserted patent. In November 2023, the trial court dismissed VLSI's case.
In May 2019, VLSI filed a case in Shanghai Intellectual Property Court against Intel (China) Co., Ltd., Intel Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Intel Products (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. asserting one patent against certain Intel Core processors. The Shanghai court held trial hearings in December 2020 and in May 2022, where VLSI requested expenses (RMB 300 thousand) and an injunction. In October 2023, the Shanghai court issued a decision finding no infringement and dismissing all claims. In November 2023, VLSI appealed the finding of non-infringement to the Supreme People's Court. The Supreme People's Court held an evidentiary hearing in October 2024, and a trial in November 2024.
In parallel in December 2022, we had filed a petition to invalidate the patent at issue in the Shanghai proceeding. In February 2024, the patent was found not invalid, and Intel appealed the decision in May 2024. After the Beijing Intellectual Property Court upheld the validity of the patent in May 2025, we filed a further appeal to the Supreme People’s Court in June 2025. Both VLSI’s appeal of the noninfringement decision and our appeal of the validity decision before the Supreme People’s Court remain pending.
In July 2024, Intel filed suit against VLSI in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware requesting the court find Intel is licensed to VLSI's patents. In September 2024, VLSI filed motions requesting that Intel's complaint be dismissed, transferred, or stayed. In December 2024, the Delaware court stayed the case and deferred the pending motions until May 31, 2025. The Delaware court has not taken further action and continues to receive status reports from the parties regarding the Texas court's consideration of Intel's license defense.
As of March 28, 2026, we have accrued a charge of approximately $1.0 billion related to the VLSI litigation. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate of losses in excess of recorded amounts.
EireOg Innovations v IBM et. al.
Since April 2024, EireOg Innovations Ltd. has filed eleven separate complaints in the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas against Intel and AMD customers alleging that various products with Intel and AMD CPUs infringe numerous patents. EireOg seeks compensatory damages, future royalties, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. Intel is indemnifying Acer, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco, Dell, HPE, HPI, IBM, Lenovo, and Oracle in connection with Intel CPUs accused of infringing three patents. Cisco and IBM filed their answers in June 2024. In these cases, trial is scheduled for April 2026. Dell and Oracle filed their answers in June and September 2024, respectively. The Markman hearing in those matters was held in May 2025, and trial is scheduled for June 2026. Lenovo filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction in July 2024, which was denied, and it subsequently filed an answer in October 2024. HPE filed its answer in July 2024. Trial in the Lenovo and HPE matters is scheduled for May 2026. AWS moved to dismiss the complaint in June 2025, and EireOg responded with an amended complaint. AWS filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in July 2025, which was denied, and it subsequently filed an answer in October 2025. Trial in the AWS matter is scheduled for December 2026. In September 2025, EireOg filed joint motions to dismiss the claims against Acer and HPI without prejudice, and the court terminated those cases in October 2025. Across the cases, EireOg alleges past and future damages in excess of $2.0 billion. Given the procedural posture and the nature of these cases, including that some pending proceedings are in the early stages, that alleged damages have not been specified in all cases, and that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from these matters.
Media Content Protection v Intel
In September 2020, Koninklijke Philips N.V. and Philips North America LLC (collectively, Philips) filed against Intel and customers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the International Trade Commission (ITC). Philips alleged that certain Intel digital video-capable integrated circuits and associated firmware infringed two of its patents, including integrated circuits and associated firmware incorporated into products sold by Dell Technologies, Inc., HP Inc., Lenovo Group Ltd., and LG Electronics Inc. In March 2022, the ITC issued a final determination concluding that Philips had not proven a violation. Philips did not appeal the ITC’s decision, and a stay of the Delaware cases was lifted. Philips then sold the asserted patents to Media Content Protection (MCP) in July 2024, and MCP substituted in as the plaintiff. Trial was set for January 2026. MCP sought $66 million to $398 million in damages for royalties between the 2020 case filing and the 2023 patent expiration date. In November 2025, the court granted Intel’s motion for summary judgment of invalidity of both patents and issued a final judgment in favor of Intel in December 2025. MCP has appealed. MCP's appeal remains pending. Given the procedural posture and the nature of this case, including that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from this matter.

Significant Events and Trends Impacting Results
The following discussion highlights significant events, key developments and trends that we believe meaningfully impacted our consolidated financial results and financial position during Q1 2026 or that we believe may continue to influence our future operating results and financial position, as well as specific matters that occurred in 2025 that impact the comparability of our results.
Future Node Development and Manufacturing Expansion Projects
As part of the transformation of the company, in Q2 2025 we announced that we would take a more disciplined approach to the deployment of capital. The design, development and manufacturing of leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing process technologies, or nodes, is risky and capital-intensive, and it takes years for capital investments to yield a return. Under our more disciplined approach, we intend to invest capital in future node development and new or upgraded manufacturing facilities only where we have a clear line of sight to an acceptable return on that capital.
We recently released our first products manufactured on our new leading-edge node, Intel 18A, and we continue to develop its derivative node, Intel 18A-P, designed for future Intel products and external Intel Foundry customers. We are focused and have made substantial progress in recent periods on the continued development of Intel 14A, the next generation node beyond Intel 18A and Intel 18A-P, and on meeting design milestones towards securing potential significant customers for future products utilizing the node. In addition, our Intel products roadmap now includes a number of future products that are being designed to utilize Intel 14A.
However, if we are unable to secure sufficient committed demand for Intel 14A through product design wins with potential significant external customers and our Intel products roadmap, we face the prospect that it will not be economical to develop and manufacture Intel 14A and successor leading-edge nodes on a go-forward basis. In such event, we may pause or discontinue our pursuit of Intel 14A and successor nodes and various of our manufacturing expansion projects. If we were to discontinue development of Intel 14A and successor nodes, we expect that a majority of our products would continue to be manufactured in our own facilities utilizing our nodes up to Intel 18A-P through at least 2030, but would shift to reliance on an external foundry for future Intel products requiring nodes with performance beyond Intel 18A and Intel 18A-P. By focusing on our customers and delivering the best semiconductor products to the market, manufactured on the most appropriate internal or external node from a performance and cost perspective, and only deploying capital on new nodes and manufacturing facilities where we believe they will yield an attractive return, we believe we can improve the competitiveness of our products business, and the overall financial results for the company.
Risks from the Conflict with Iran
On February 28, 2026, the U.S. and Israel initiated coordinated military strikes against Iran, which were followed by retaliatory actions by Iran and Iran‑aligned groups, including missile and drone attacks directed at Israel and other countries in the region. Since that time, the conflict has continued to escalate, with strikes by the U.S. and Israel against targets in Iran, strikes by Israel against targets in Lebanon and strikes by Iran and Iran-aligned groups against military, civilian and industrial targets in Israel and other countries in the region, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Azerbaijan. Iran's strikes against industrial targets, including oil and natural gas fields, and closing of the Strait of Hormuz, have significantly disrupted various global supply chains. Among other things, the conflict has resulted in increased global energy prices and energy shortages that may adversely impact the world economy. In addition, Iranian strikes on two energy fields in Qatar that supply a meaningful percentage of the world supply of helium have resulted in a global shortage of this gas that is essential to the semiconductor manufacturing process.
In late March 2026, Iran published a list of U.S. companies with operations in the Middle East whose facilities they indicated they would target in retaliation for continued strikes on Iran, with Intel being near the top of that list. A significant portion of our revenues are generated from products on Intel 7 manufactured at our fabrication facility in Israel. As we are not insured for business interruptions resulting from war or political violence, a disruption of that facility could have a significant adverse impact on our business. We could also be adversely impacted by disruptions to our product development centers in Israel. As our property, plant and equipment assets in Israel are self‑insured for losses resulting from war or political violence, any significant impact from the conflict, especially to our fabrication facility, could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial results and position.
We continue to monitor the potential impact this conflict could have on our operations in Israel, on our global operations and business and on the semiconductor industry and global economy more broadly.

Goodwill Impairment
Our Q1 2026 operating results were significantly impacted by the recognition of $3.9 billion of non-cash goodwill impairment charges within restructuring and other charges in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, substantially all of which related to impairing the goodwill of our Mobileye reporting unit.
Our quarterly qualitative impairment assessment for Q1 2026 indicated that a more detailed quantitative analysis was necessary for our Mobileye reporting unit. This conclusion was driven by the presence of impairment indicators, including the sustained decline in Mobileye’s market capitalization since our most recent assessment date in Q4 2025, as well as increased uncertainty in the broader macroeconomic and geopolitical environment in which Mobileye operates. Our quantitative assessment was performed by measuring the Mobileye reporting unit's fair value using the income approach. As part of this Q1 2026 assessment, we determined that a significant increase in the discount rate was required relative to the discount rate used in our Q4 2025 assessment, which resulted from higher market-based and Mobileye-specific risk premiums arising from changes in global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened geopolitical risks associated with operations in the Middle East, including the current conflict, and increased uncertainty related to Mobileye's evolving competitive landscape. As a result of our impairment test, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in Q1 2026, as the estimated fair value of the Mobileye reporting unit was lower than the assigned carrying value.
The valuation of goodwill is a critical accounting estimate that requires significant judgment and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty as it requires the application of significant estimates and the use of unobservable inputs, including market segment share, projected financial information, and discount rates. These estimates and inputs change over time based on operating results, market conditions and other factors and could materially affect the determination of the fair value and potential goodwill impairment for our reporting units. As of March 28, 2026, our Mobileye reporting unit had $4.3 billion in remaining goodwill. Refer to "Note 10: Goodwill" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.
Repurchase of Non-Controlling Interests in Ireland SCIP
On April 8, 2026, we acquired from Apollo its 49% minority ownership interest in our majority-owned and consolidated Ireland SCIP VIE for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $14.2 billion, inclusive of estimated transaction costs. We funded the repurchase of Apollo's non-controlling equity interest through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and a $6.5 billion term loan facility that we entered into in April 2026 (refer to “Note 11: Borrowings” within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). We intend to refinance the term loan facility, subject to market conditions.
Ireland SCIP was established in 2024 in connection with the construction and operation of Fab 34, with Apollo acquiring a 49% minority ownership interest and the parties entering into related operating and ancillary agreements governing the construction, operation and utilization of the fab. Our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for Q2 2026 will reflect our 100% ownership of Ireland SCIP, the substantial termination of the related operating and ancillary agreements between the parties, the elimination of the non‑controlling interest in Ireland SCIP and the extinguishment of the derivative liability associated with delay‑related liquidated damages provisions (refer to “Note 3: Non-Controlling Interests” within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
Altera Divestiture
The comparability of our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for Q1 2026 relative to Q1 2025, as discussed within this MD&A, was impacted by the deconsolidation of Altera. Altera, which was previously a wholly owned subsidiary, was deconsolidated from our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements effective September 12, 2025, following the closing of the sale of 51% of Altera's issued and outstanding common stock. Altera's financial results of operations were included in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements through September 11, 2025. Revenue from Altera as a customer was $139 million in Q1 2026, compared to $351 million of revenue contributed by Altera in our Q1 2025 consolidated financial results. Refer to "Note 9: Acquisitions and Divestitures" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Operating Segment Revenue Summary | ||
Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025 | ||||||||||||||
Total Intel Products revenue was $12.8 billion in Q1 2026, up $1.0 billion from Q1 2025.
▪CCG revenue increased $98 million from Q1 2025. Client revenue (collectively notebook and desktop) was $6.6 billion in Q1 2026, up $54 million from Q1 2025, primarily driven by a 16% increase in ASPs. The increase in ASPs was driven by a higher mix of premium products sold in Q1 2026 and demand-based pricing actions in part to offset higher input costs. This increase in client revenue was partially offset by a 13% decrease in volume compared to Q1 2025. Market demand exceeded our available product supply in Q1 2026 due to internal and external supply constraints, limiting our ability to fully meet customer demand. We expect these supply constraints to persist at least through the first half of 2026. We continue to ramp client products on our 18A process node to increase supply availability and mitigate these constraints throughout the remainder of 2026. Other CCG revenue was $1.1 billion in Q1 2026, up $44 million from Q1 2025. | ||||||||||||||
▪DCAI revenue increased $926 million from Q1 2025, primarily driven by $696 million of higher server revenue due to a 27% increase in server ASPs. The increase in server ASPs was primarily driven by a higher mix of premium products sold in Q1 2026 and demand-based pricing actions in part to offset higher input costs. This increase in server revenue was partially offset by a 5% decrease in volume compared to Q1 2025. Market demand exceeded our available product supply due to internal supply constraints, which limited our ability to fully meet customer demand. Though we expect these supply constraints to persist throughout the remainder of 2026, we continue to add capacity in our internal factories to increase supply availability and mitigate these constraints. Other DCAI product revenue was $935 million, up $230 million from Q1 2025, primarily driven by higher networking customer-related demand. | ||||||||||||||

Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025 | ||||||||||||||
Total Intel Products operating income was $4.1 billion in Q1 2026, up $1.1 billion from Q1 2025.
▪CCG operating income increased $155 million from Q1 2025, primarily driven by $249 million of favorable impacts from lower operating expenses, primarily related to lower payroll-related expenditures resulting from headcount reductions taken under the 2025 Restructuring Plan and the effects of various other cost-reduction measures. These favorable impacts were partially offset by unfavorable impacts from lower product profit, primarily related to higher client unit costs resulting from an increased mix of premium products sold in Q1 2026. | ||||||||||||||
▪DCAI operating income increased $967 million from Q1 2025, primarily driven by $604 million of favorable impacts from higher product profit, primarily related to higher server revenue, partially offset by higher server unit costs resulting from an increased mix of premium products sold in Q1 2026. Operating income also benefited from $331 million of lower period charges in Q1 2026, primarily related to the absence of Gaudi AI accelerator inventory-related charges incurred in Q1 2025. | ||||||||||||||

Revenue was $5.4 billion in Q1 2026, up $754 million from Q1 2025. Intersegment revenue was $5.2 billion, up $611 million from Q1 2025, primarily driven by higher wafer volumes from Intel 18A, Intel 3 and Intel 4 process nodes that carry higher ASPs relative to predecessor process nodes. External revenue was $174 million, up $143 million from Q1 2025, primarily due to Altera's transition to an external customer following the deconsolidation of Altera in Q3 2025. | ||||||||||||||

| Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025 | ||||||||||||||
Operating loss was $2.4 billion in Q1 2026, compared to an operating loss of $2.3 billion in Q1 2025, primarily driven by $489 million of unfavorable impacts related to lower product profit in Q1 2026 due to an increased mix of higher cost wafers manufactured on our Intel 18A process node, partially offset by higher revenue and lower wafer costs on Intel 3 and Intel 4 process nodes. This unfavorable impact from lower product profit in Q1 2026 was partially offset by $372 million of lower period charges in Q1 2026, primarily related to the intersegment sell-through of inventory with lower of cost or net realizable value intersegment reserves that resulted from the early ramp of our Intel 18A process node. | ||||||||||||||

Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025 | ||||||||||||||
Our Q1 2026 revenue was $13.6 billion, up $910 million from Q1 2025, primarily driven by higher Intel Products revenue. Intel Products revenue increased 9% from Q1 2025, primarily driven by a 22% increase in DCAI revenue, resulting from higher server ASPs due to a higher mix of premium products sold in Q1 2026 and demand-based pricing actions in part to offset higher input costs. CCG and Intel Foundry revenue were both modestly higher compared to Q1 2025. All other revenue decreased compared to Q1 2025, primarily due to the absence of Q1 2026 Altera revenue following its Q3 2025 deconsolidation, with Altera now reflected as an external foundry customer. In Q1 2026, our revenue was impacted by lower volumes sold compared to Q1 2025, resulting from internal and external supply constraints that limited our ability to fully meet customer demand. We expect these supply constraints to persist throughout 2026, and industry‑wide shortages of substrates, memory and other critical components may further limit our ability to fully meet customer demand.

In both periods presented, we were not able to benefit from our current year domestic losses before taxes due to the domestic valuation allowance. Our provision for taxes increased in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, primarily due to an increase in foreign profitability after exclusion of non-deductible goodwill impairment charges recognized for our Mobileye reporting unit (see "Note 10: Goodwill" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025
In Q1 2026, net loss attributable to non-controlling interests was primarily driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.9 billion related to our Mobileye reporting unit which was attributed to non-controlling interest holders based on their proportional ownership (refer to "Note 10: Goodwill" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), partially offset by income earned by Arizona SCIP based on the ongoing placement of their manufacturing assets into service and income earned by Ireland SCIP as the factory output from Fab 34 was resold to us.
In Q1 2025, net loss attributable to non-controlling interests was primarily driven by start-up construction expenses incurred by Arizona SCIP.
As described in “Repurchase of Non-Controlling Interests in Ireland SCIP” at the beginning of this MD&A, in April 2026 we acquired all of the outstanding minority holder ownership interests in Ireland SCIP, one of our majority-owned, consolidated subsidiaries, for $14.2 billion in cash. The equity transaction closed on April 8, 2026, after which net income attributable to non-controlling interests in Ireland SCIP will cease.
We now anticipate that net income attributable to non-controlling interests in 2026 will slightly decrease, as compared to 2025, as we recognized a significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our Mobileye reporting unit in Q1 2026 and net income attributable to Ireland SCIP will not be shared with non-controlling interest holders following the April 2026 repurchase of our interests in Ireland SCIP. In addition, we anticipate that net income attributable to non-controlling interests will increase in 2027, as compared to 2026, primarily due to the absence of the Q1 2026 non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our Mobileye reporting unit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months and in the longer term. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations and our total cash and short-term investments, as shown in the following table. These sources are further supplemented by our drawn and undrawn committed credit facilities and other borrowing capacity; recent equity securities agreements and issuances; possible future debt and equity issuances pursuant to our shelf registration statement; monetization of non-core assets and contributions from our Arizona SCIP partner.

As part of our ongoing capital management strategy to optimize our debt portfolio, we may utilize make-whole provisions, tender offers, or open market repurchases of our debt prior to maturity. In Q1 2026, we did not extinguish any debt prior to maturity.
As described in “Repurchase of Non-Controlling Interests in Ireland SCIP” at the beginning of this MD&A, in April 2026 we acquired the minority ownership interest in our majority-owned and consolidated Ireland SCIP VIE for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $14.2 billion. We funded the repurchase of Apollo's non-controlling equity interest through a combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and a $6.5 billion term loan (refer to “Note 11: Borrowings” within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). We intend to refinance the term loan facility, subject to market conditions.
Our total cash and short-term investments and related cash flows may be affected by certain discretionary actions we may take with customers and suppliers to accelerate or delay certain cash receipts or payments to manage liquidity, among other factors, for our strategic business requirements. These actions can include, among others, negotiating with suppliers to optimize our payment terms and conditions, adjusting the amounts and timing of cash flows associated with customer sales programs and collections, managing inventory levels and purchasing practices and selling certain of our accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. While such actions have benefited, and may further benefit, cash flow in the near term, we may experience a corresponding detriment to cash flow in future periods as these actions cease or as the impacts of these actions reverse or normalize.
We maintain a diverse investment portfolio that we continually analyze based on issuer, industry and country. Substantially all of our investments in debt instruments were in investment-grade securities.
Funding Requirements
Our short-term funding requirements include capital expenditures for worldwide manufacturing and assembly and test operations, including investments in our process technology roadmap; investments in our product roadmap; working capital requirements, including cash outlays associated with the 2025 Restructuring Plan and prepayments we may enter into to secure supply capacity; partner distributions to our non-controlling interest holders; reducing outstanding indebtedness; potential acquisitions and strategic investments. In addition, our short-term funding requirements included $14.2 billion for our April 2026 repurchase of Ireland SCIP minority ownership interests. Our long-term funding requirements incrementally contemplate investments in significant manufacturing expansion plans and investments to accelerate our process technology. These plans include expanding existing operations in Arizona, New Mexico and Oregon and investing in a new leading-edge manufacturing facility in Ohio in the long term.
In Q1 2026, we entered into long-term arrangements with customers that include contractually enforceable deposits. As of quarter-end, these deposits totaled $1.7 billion, which are reflected within other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. Cash receipt is expected in Q2 2026. In response to industry shortages of substrates and other components, and to execute long-term customer arrangements, we expect to enter into long-term agreements with suppliers to secure supply capacity. Some of these supply arrangements may involve prepayments, which are expected to accelerate cash outflows in the near term.
In Q1 2026, Mobileye paid $596 million in cash, net of cash acquired, in connection with closing the acquisition of Mentee Robotics. Refer to "Note 9: Acquisitions and Divestitures" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||
(In Millions) | Mar 28, 2026 | Mar 29, 2025 | ||||||||||||
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities | $ | 1,096 | $ | 813 | ||||||||||

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 2,983 | $ | 698 | ||||||||||
Operating Activities
Operating cash flows consist of net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities.
Cash provided by operations in the first three months of 2026 was higher compared to the first three months of 2025 primarily due to the cash favorable impacts of lower expenses and higher favorable operating cash flow adjustments for non-cash items in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025. These cash favorable movements were partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital adjustments in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows consist primarily of purchases, sales and maturities of short term investments, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
Cash provided by investing activities in the first three months of 2026 was higher compared to the first three months of 2025 primarily due to higher sales and maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases; and lower capital expenditures during the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025. These cash-favorable movements were partially offset by lower proceeds from capital-related government incentives and cash used for the acquisition of Mentee Robotics in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consist primarily of borrowings and repayments of short-term and long-term debt, financing payments for capital expenditures with extended payment terms and proceeds from strategic initiatives, including SCIP partner contributions.
Cash used for financing activities in the first three months of 2026 was higher compared to the first three months of 2025 primarily due to the absence of commercial paper issuances, higher financing payments for capital expenditures with extended payment terms and higher other financing outflows in the first three months of 2026. These unfavorable cash movements were partially offset by higher partner contributions in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025.

Risk Factors and Other Key Information | |||||
Risk Factors
The risks described within "Risk Factors" in our 2025 Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face as our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Refer also to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including in the Forward-Looking Statements, MD&A, and the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Supplemental Details sections.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are affected by changes in currency exchange and interest rates, as well as equity and commodity prices. Our risk management programs are designed to reduce, but may not entirely eliminate, the impacts of these risks. For a discussion about market risk and sensitivity analysis related to changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices and commodity prices, refer to "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" within MD&A in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Controls and Procedures
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 28, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We have an ongoing authorization, originally approved by our Board of Directors in 2005 and subsequently amended on October 24, 2019, to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions. No shares were repurchased during the quarter ended March 28, 2026. As of March 28, 2026, we were authorized to repurchase up to $110.0 billion, of which $7.2 billion remained available.
We issue RSUs as part of our equity incentive plans. In our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we treat shares of common stock withheld for tax purposes on behalf of our employees in connection with the vesting of RSUs as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase program.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
Our directors and officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) may from time to time enter into plans or other arrangements for the purchase or sale of our shares that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5–1(c) or may represent a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement under the Exchange Act. During the quarter ended March 28, 2026, no such plans or arrangements were adopted terminated

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act requires an issuer to disclose certain information in its periodic reports if it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions, or dealings with individuals or entities subject to specific U.S. economic sanctions during the reporting period, even when the activities, transactions, or dealings are conducted in compliance with applicable law. On March 2, 2021, the U.S. Secretary of State designated the FSB as a party subject to one such sanction. Though Intel has suspended sales in Russia, there may be a need to file documents or engage with the FSB as Intel winds up our local Russian offices. All such dealings are explicitly authorized by General License 1B issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s OFAC, and there are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with any such dealings by us with the FSB.
