The 2002 Intel Executive Webcast presentations and accompanying slides, and
Q&A responses, contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. These statements do not reflect the potential
impact of any mergers and acquisitions that have not closed as of the end of
the third quarter of 2002.
The statements contained in these presentations and in the October 15, 2002
Earnings Release are forward-looking statements that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. Gross margin percentage varies primarily with
revenue levels, product mix, product pricing, changes in unit costs,
capacity utilization, and timing of factory ramps and associated costs.
Expenses, particularly certain marketing- and compensation-related expenses,
vary depending on the level of revenue and profits. The expectation as to
gains or losses from equity investments and interest and other will vary
depending on equity market levels and volatility, gains or losses realized
on the sale or exchange of investments, determination of impairment charges,
including potential impairment of non-marketable investments, interest
rates, cash balances, mark-to-market of derivative instruments, and assuming
no unanticipated items. Other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially include the following: business and economic conditions
and trends in the computing and communications industries in various
geographic regions; factors associated with doing business outside the
United States, including currency controls and fluctuations, and tariff,
import and other related restrictions and regulations; possible disruption
in commercial activities related to terrorist activity or armed conflict in
the United States, Israel and other locations, such as changes in logistics
and security arrangements and communications infrastructure, and reduced
end-user purchases relative to expectations; civil or military unrest or
political instability in a locale; changes in customer order patterns;
changes in the mixes of microprocessor types and speeds sold as well as the
mix of related chipsets, motherboards, purchased components and other
semiconductor and non-semiconductor products; competitive factors, such as
competing chip architectures and manufacturing technologies, competing
software-compatible microprocessors and acceptance of new products in
specific market segments; pricing pressures; development and timing of
introduction of compelling software applications; excess or obsolete
inventory and variations in inventory valuation; continued success in
technological advances, including development and implementation of new
processes and strategic products for specific market segments; execution of
the manufacturing ramp, including the transition to 0.13-micron
manufacturing process technology; excess manufacturing capacity; the ability
to sustain and grow networking, communications, wireless and other
businesses, and successfully integrate and operate any acquired businesses;
unanticipated costs or other adverse effects associated with processors and
other products containing errata (deviations from published specifications);
litigation involving intellectual property, stockholder and other issues;
and other risk factors listed from time to time in the company's SEC
reports, including but not limited to Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June
29, 2002.
