(*) | In this press release, in addition to selected preliminary GAAP financial results, AMD has provided preliminary non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses. 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 2022, AMD uses a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 13%, which excludes the tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, reflecting currently available information. AMD is providing these preliminary 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 AMDs performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The preliminary non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this press release should be viewed in addition to and not as a substitute for or superior to AMDs preliminary results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These preliminary non-GAAP financial measures referenced are reconciled to their most directly comparable preliminary GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release.
