Graphics holding Q1 2009 scores

We will get into details of AMD's financial scores for the first quarter a bit later, but we have to tell you that in Q1 2009 AMD reported revenues of $1.77 billion, which lead to $416 million of $0.66 per share. AMD's operating loss was $308. In the first quarter of 2008, AMD had revenue from operations of $1.487 billion, a net loss of $351 million and an operating loss of $234 million. It look that they did slightly worse than in Q1 2008 but still much better than Q4 2008 when they had $1.162 billion revenue, a net loss of $1.437 billion and an operating loss of $1.274 billion.

When you break the numbers in details AMD spent some $305 million for research and development, $252 million for marketing general and administrative costs, $60 million for reconstruction changes and $18 million for amortization of acquired intangible assets. In computing solutions that involve CPU sales, AMD had a revenue of $938 million revenue and reported operating loss of $36 million while the GPU guys had a revenue of $222 million and they even managed to earn a $1 million.

In Q4 2008 AMD graphics loss $10 million over $270 million sales, while in Q1 2008 graphics revenue was $262 million with $13 million operating income. In the same period AMD computing solutions had eg. Q4 2008 873 million revenue and 431 million operating loss, Q1 2008 revenue of 1.194 billion and loss of 164 million and in current quarter 938 million revenue and 36 million loss in operating income. 

Foundry had a revenue of $283 million and a loss of 141 million, while all other had revenue of $17 million and loss of saucy $124 million. Intersegment eliminations had a $282 million negative revenue and $8 million loss.

This all sums up to $1.177 billion revenue from in Q1 2009 for AMD and a $308 million operating loss. It looks to us that when it comes to CPU and GPU side of the business the company is close to file some profits, as soon as they pay the credits and debts from the past that are going to haunt this company for a while.
