“2022 was a strong year for AMD as we delivered best-in-class growth and record revenue despite the weak PC environment in the second half of the year,” said AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. “We accelerated our data center momentum and closed our strategic acquisition of Xilinx, significantly diversifying our business and strengthening our financial model. Although the demand environment is mixed, we are confident in our ability to gain market share in 2023 and deliver long-term growth based on our differentiated product portfolio.”

Q4 2022 Results

• Revenue of $5.6 billion increased 16% year-over-year primarily driven by growth across the Embedded and Data Center segments, partially offset by lower Client and Gaming segment revenue.
• Gross margin was 43%, a decrease of 7 percentage points year-over-year, primarily due to amortization of intangible assets associated with the Xilinx acquisition. Non-GAAP gross margin was 51%, an increase of 1 percentage point year-over-year, primarily driven by a richer product mix with higher Embedded and Data Center segment revenue, partially offset by lower Client segment revenue.
• Operating loss was $149 million, compared to operating income of $1.2 billion, or 25% of revenue a year ago. The loss was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets associated with the Xilinx acquisition.

The non-GAAP operating margin decline was primarily due to lower Client segment operating income.
• Net income was $21 million compared to net income of $974 million a year ago primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets associated with the Xilinx acquisition, partially offset by a $154 million tax benefit in the quarter. Non-GAAP net income was $1.1 billion, flat from a year ago.
• Diluted earnings per share was $0.01 compared to $0.80 a year ago primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets associated with the Xilinx acquisition, partially offset by a $154 million tax benefit in the quarter.
