NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In this presentation, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net
income and non-GAAP earnings per share. 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 2021, AMD uses
a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 15%, which excludes the tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, reflecting currently available information. AMD also provided adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as supplemental
non-GAAP measures of its performance. These items are defined in the footnotes to the selected corporate data tables provided at the end of this presentation. AMD is providing these financial measures because it
believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare its operating results for current and historical periods and also because AMD believes it assists investors in comparing AMD's performance
across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance and for the other reasons described in the footnotes to the selected data tables.
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 data tables at the end of this presentation. This presentation also contains forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin concerning AMD's financial outlook, which is based on current expectations as of
October 26, 2021 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.
