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, 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 full year
2021, AMD uses a non-GAAP tax rate of 15%, which excludes the tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments. For full year 2022, 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, and a projected cash tax rate of approximately 9% that includes the projected current income tax liability plus known foreign withholding tax
obligations paid expressed as a percentage of non-GAAP profit before tax. 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 February 1, 2022, and assumptions and beliefs
that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. AMD undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements made in this presentation except as may be required by law.
