Intel’s [added: microprocessor] market [removed: share, margins and] [added: share position,] significant financial [removed: resources enable] [added: resources, introduction of competitive new products, and existing relationships with top-tier OEMs have enabled] it to market [added: and price] its products aggressively, to target our customers and our channel partners with special incentives and to influence customers who do business with us.
[removed: Additionally, Intel] [added: It] is able to drive de facto standards and specifications for x86 microprocessors that could cause us and other companies to have delayed access to such standards.
[removed: As long as Intel remains in this dominant position, we] [added: We] may be materially adversely affected by Intel’s business practices, including rebating and allocation strategies and pricing actions, designed to limit our market share and margins; product mix and introduction schedules; product bundling, marketing and merchandising strategies; [added: and] exclusivity payments to its current and potential customers, retailers and channel [removed: partners; de facto control over industry standards, and heavy influence on PC manufacturers and other PC industry participants, including motherboard, memory, chipset and basic input/output system (BIOS) suppliers and software companies as well as the graphics interface for Intel platforms; and marketing and advertising expenditures in support of positioning the Intel brand over the brand of its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers and retailers.][added: partners.]
We expect Intel to continue to [removed: invest] heavily [added: invest substantial resources] in marketing, research and development, new manufacturing facilities and other technology companies.
To the extent Intel manufactures a significantly larger portion of its microprocessor products using more advanced process [removed: technologies,] [added: technologies] or introduces competitive new products into the market before we do, we may be more vulnerable to Intel’s aggressive marketing and pricing strategies for microprocessor products.
Intel could [removed: also] take actions that place our [removed: discrete graphics processing units (GPUs)] [added: GPUs] at a competitive disadvantage, including giving one or more of our competitors in the graphics [removed: market, such as NVIDIA Corporation,] [added: market] preferential access to its proprietary graphics interface or other useful information or restricting access to external companies.
[removed: Also,] [added: In the graphics processing unit (GPU) market,] Intel has developed and released their own high-end discrete GPUs, including gaming focused discrete GPUs.
[removed: Global economic] [added: Economic] and market uncertainty may adversely impact our business and operating results.
Uncertain global [added: or regional] economic conditions have and may in the future adversely impact our business.
Uncertainty in the [removed: worldwide] economic environment or other unfavorable changes in economic conditions, such as inflation, [added: higher] interest [removed: rates or] [added: rates,] recession, [added: slowing growth, increased unemployment, tighter credit markets, changes in fiscal monetary or trade policy, or currency fluctuations,] may negatively impact consumer confidence and spending causing our customers to [added: stop or] postpone purchases.
[removed: In addition, during] [added: During] challenging economic times, our current or potential future customers may experience cash flow problems and as a result may modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase our products.
Any inability of our current or potential future customers to pay us for [added: our products may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow.]
In addition, uncertain economic conditions [removed: may make] [added: could lead to higher borrowing costs and reduced availability of capital and credit markets, making] it more difficult for us to raise funds through borrowings or private or public sales of debt or equity securities.
We have incurred substantial losses in previous downturns, due to substantial declines in average selling prices; the cyclical nature of supply and demand imbalances in the semiconductor industry; a decline in demand for end-user products [removed: (such as PCs)] that incorporate our products; and excess inventory [removed: levels.][added: levels and periods of inventory adjustment.]
[removed: Industry-wide] [added: Such industry-wide] fluctuations [removed: in the computer marketplace have materially adversely affected us in the past and] may materially adversely affect us in the future.
[removed: In] [added: For example, our Client segment revenue decreased due to a decline in] the [added: PC market in the] second half of [removed: 2022, we experienced a decline in] [added: 2022 and the first half of 2023, and] our [removed: Client] [added: Embedded] segment revenue [added: decreased] as a result of [removed: weak PC market macroeconomic conditions and] [added: an] inventory correction [removed: actions across] [added: in several end markets in] the [removed: PC supply chain.][added: second half of 2023.]
The success of our semi-custom SoC products [added: in our Gaming segment] is dependent on securing customers for our semi-custom design pipeline and consumer market conditions, including the success of [removed: the Sony PlayStation® 5, Microsoft® XboxTM Series S and Microsoft® XboxTM Series X] game console systems and next generation consoles for Sony and [removed: Microsoft, worldwide.][added: Microsoft.]
- We are subject to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics.
- We may fail to achieve expected manufacturing yields for our products.
- We may encounter difficulties in operating our newly upgraded enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
- We outsource to third parties certain supply-chain logistics functions.
- We may be unable to effectively control the sales of our products on the gray market.
- Climate change may have a long-term impact on our business.
- We are party to litigation and may become a party to other claims or litigation.
- Evolving expectations from governments, investors, customers and other stakeholders regarding corporate responsibility matters could result in additional costs, harm to our reputation and a loss of customers.
- Issues related to the responsible use of AI may result in reputational, competitive and financial harm and liability.
Also, our cash and cash equivalents could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail.
Intel also dominates the computer system platform and has a heavy influence on PC manufacturers, other PC industry participants, and benchmarks.
Adverse changes in economic conditions could increase costs of memory, equipment, materials or substrates and other supply chain expenses.
An economic downturn or increased uncertainty could also lead to failures of counterparties including financial institutions and insurers, asset impairments and declines in the value of our financial instruments.
We offer products that are used in different end markets and the demand for our products can vary among our Data Center, Client, Gaming and Embedded end markets.
For instance, in our Data Center segment, we offer products that are optimized for generative AI applications and in the fourth quarter of 2023, we experienced significant demand for our AI accelerators.
The demand for such products will depend on the extent to which our customers utilize generative AI solutions in a wide variety of applications.
Also, in our Client segment revenue is focused on the consumer desktop and notebook PC segments.
Our Client segment revenue decreased due to a decline in the PC market in the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023.
Our Embedded segment primarily includes embedded CPUs and GPUs, APUs, FPGAs and Adaptive SoC products some of which are subject to macroeconomic trends and volatile business conditions.
To the extent our embedded customers are faced with higher inventory levels, they may choose to draw down their existing inventory and order less of our products.
Our Embedded segment revenue decreased as a result of an inventory correction in several end markets in the second half of 2023.
We are subject to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Global health outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have and may continue to adversely affect our employees, disrupt our business operations and practices, as well those of our customers, partners, vendors and suppliers.
Public health measures by government authorities such as travel bans, social-distancing, lockdown measures, vaccination requirements may cause us to incur additional costs, limit our operations, modify our business practices, diminish employee productivity or disrupt our supply chain, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
To the extent a public health crisis will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations depends on factors outside of our control, including severity, duration and the measures to contain the health outbreak.
While we see significant opportunity in AI, we expect intense competition from companies such as Nvidia in the supply of GPUs and other accelerators for the AI market.
From time to time, governments provide incentives or make other investments that could benefit and give a competitive advantage to our competitors.
For example, the United States government enacted the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America and Science Act (CHIPS Act) of 2022 to provide financial incentives to the U.S. semiconductor industry.
Government incentives, including the CHIPS Act, may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
If our competitors can benefit from such government incentives and we cannot, it could strengthen our competitors’ relative position and have a material adverse effect on our business.
AMD and GF also have agreed to wafer pricing through 2025.
For example, as part of our Pervasive AI strategy, we have a portfolio of hardware products and software tools to allow our customers to develop scalable and pervasive AI solutions.
We are increasingly building AI capabilities into our products, but if we fail to develop and timely offer such products and technologies or keep pace with the product offerings of our competitors, our business could be adversely affected.
Additionally, our efforts in developing new AI technology solutions are inherently risky and may not always succeed.
We may incur significant costs, resources, investments and delays and not achieve a return on investment or capitalize on the opportunities presented by demand for AI solutions.
Moreover, while AI adoption is likely to continue and may accelerate, the long-term trajectory of this technological trend is uncertain.
Our business relies on technology hardware, software, cloud services, infrastructure, networks and systems (collectively, IT Systems).
We own and manage some IT Systems but also rely on critical third-party IT Systems, products and services.
Threat actors range in sophistication from individual hackers and insiders to ransom gangs and state-sponsored attackers.
- The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We outsource to third parties certain supply-chain logistics functions, including portions of our product distribution, transportation management and information technology support services.
- Our inability to effectively control the sales of our products on the gray market could have a material adverse effect on us.
- We are party to litigation and may become a party to other claims or litigation that could cause us to incur substantial costs or pay substantial damages or prohibit us from selling our products.
- Worldwide political conditions may adversely affect demand for our products.
Intel Corporation (Intel) has been the market share leader for microprocessors for many years.
Intel exerts substantial influence over computer manufacturers and their channels of distribution through various brand and other marketing programs.
As a result of Intel’s position in the microprocessor market, Intel has been able to control x86 microprocessor and computer system standards and benchmarks and to dictate the type of products the microprocessor market requires of us.
Intel also dominates the computer system platform, which includes core logic chipsets, graphics chips, networking devices (wired and wireless), non-volatile storage and other components necessary to assemble a computer system.
Intel has substantially greater financial resources than we do and accordingly spends substantially greater amounts on marketing and research and development than we do.
Intel’s position in the microprocessor, and integrated graphics chipset markets, its introduction of competitive new products, its existing relationships with top-tier OEMs, and its aggressive marketing and pricing strategies could result in lower unit sales and lower average selling prices for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
We experienced a decline in our Client segment revenue as a result of weak PC market macroeconomic conditions and inventory correction actions across the PC supply chain in the second half of 2022.
our products may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow.
Our Client segment revenue is focused on the consumer desktop and notebook PC segments, which in the second half of 2022 experienced a decline as a result of weak PC market macroeconomic conditions and inventory correction actions across the PC supply chain.
In addition, the GPU market has at times seen elevated demand due to the application of GPU products to cryptocurrency mining.
Demand for cryptocurrency has changed and is likely to continue to change quickly.
For example, China has banned such activities, and corresponding interest in mining of such currencies are subject to significant fluctuations.
Alternatively, countries have created and may continue to create their own cryptocurrencies or equivalents that could also impact interest in mining.
The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused government authorities to implement numerous public health measures, including at various times vaccination and testing requirements and recordkeeping, quarantines, business closures, travel bans, and restrictions related to social gathering and mobility, to contain the virus.
Various state and federal rules are issued and updated on an ongoing basis, at times in conflict and/or with minimal notice.
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience disruptions to our business as these changing measures have, and will continue to have, an effect on our business operations and practices.
While our employees gradually return to office, we continue to monitor our operations and public health measures implemented by governmental authorities in response to COVID-19.
Although some public health measures have eased, our efforts to reopen our offices safely may not be successful and could expose our employees to health risks.
It is uncertain as to when all health measures put in place to attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19 will be lifted.
If there are further waves of the virus, health measures may be reimplemented and we may need to further limit operations or modify our business practices in a manner that may impact our business.
If our employees are not able to perform their job duties due to self-isolation, quarantine, lockdown measures, unavailability of COVID 19 tests, travel restrictions or illness, a reluctance or refusal to vaccinate, or are unable to perform them as efficiently at home for an extended period of time, we may not be able to meet our product schedules, roadmaps and customer commitments and we may experience an overall lower productivity of our workforce.
Even when COVID-19 health measures are lifted or modified, our employees’ ability or willingness to return to work may delay the return of our full workforce and the resumption of normal business operations.
COVID-19 continues to impact the global supply chain causing disruptions to service providers, logistics and the flow and availability of supplies and products.
We have experienced some disruptions to parts of our supply chain as a result of COVID-19 and we adjust our supply chain requirements based on changing customer needs and demands.
We have taken efforts to maintain a stable supply of materials to meet our production requirements through long-term purchase commitments and prepayment arrangements with some of our suppliers.
We may also assess our product schedules and roadmaps to make any adjustments that may be necessary to support remote working requirements and address the geographic and market demand shifts caused by COVID-19.
If the supply of our products to customers is delayed, reduced or canceled due to disruptions encountered by our third-party manufacturers, back-end manufacturers, warehouses, partners, suppliers or vendors as a result of facility closures, border and port restrictions or closures, transportation delays, lockdown measures, labor shortages or workforce mobility limitations, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.
COVID-19 has in the short-term and may in the long-term adversely impact the global economy, creating uncertainty and potentially leading to an economic downturn.
This could negatively impact consumer confidence and spending causing our customers to postpone or cancel purchases, or delay paying or default on payment of outstanding amounts due to us, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Even in times of strong demand for our products, the worldwide economic environment remains uncertain due to COVID-19 and such demand may not be sustainable over the longer term.
COVID-19 has also led to a disruption and volatility in the global capital and financial markets.
While we believe our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments along with our Revolving Credit Agreement and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund operations, including capital expenditures, and purchase commitments, over the next 12 months and beyond, to the extent we may require additional funding to finance our operations and capital expenditures and such funding may not be available to us as a result of contracting capital and financial markets resulting from COVID-19, it may have an adverse effect on our business.
The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business and financial results will depend on future developments, which are unpredictable and highly uncertain, including the continued spread, duration and severity of the outbreak, the appearances of new variants of COVID-19, the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, the availability and distribution of effective treatments and vaccines, and public health measures and actions taken throughout the world to contain COVID-19.
The prolonged effect of COVID-19 could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
0 rewritten, 28 added, 0 removed, 0 unchanged
New section this year
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.
We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF and AI Risk Management Framework).
This does not mean that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, but only that we use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.
Information about cybersecurity risks and our risk management processes is collected, analyzed and considered as part of our overall enterprise risk management program.
Key components of our cybersecurity risk management program include:
- risk assessments designed to help identify cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment;
- a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents;
- the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes;
- cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel and senior management;
- a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and
- a third-party cyber risk management process for vendors including, among other things, a security assessment and contracting program for vendors based on their risk profile.
At this time, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
We face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
*See “Risk Factors - IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyberattacks could disrupt operations and compromise our intellectual property or other sensitive information, be costly to remediate or cause significant damage to our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.”*
Cybersecurity Governance
Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit and Finance Committee (Committee) oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks.
The Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.
The Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks.
In addition, management updates the Committee, as necessary, regarding any significant cybersecurity incidents.
The Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity.
The full Board also receives a briefing from management on our cyber risk management program at least annually.
Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity matters from our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), information security team or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies.
Our management team, led by our CISO and Sr. Director of Information Security, are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats.
The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and any retained external cybersecurity consultants.
Our Sr. Director of Information Security has served in various roles in information technology and information security for over 20 years and holds multiple industry-recognized certifications.
Our CISO, who is also our Chief Information Officer, has over 20 years of experience managing global IT operations, including strategy, applications, infrastructure, information security, support and execution.
Our management team, led by our CISO and Sr. Director of Information Security, is informed about and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include, among other things, briefings with internal security personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our IT environment.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates Not Yet adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses.
This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2024 and interim periods in fiscal year 2025.
Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating segment expense disclosures related to its annual report for fiscal year 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures that requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures.
This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2025.
Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating income tax disclosures related to its annual report for fiscal year 2025.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements had or will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition-related and other costs primarily include transaction costs, purchase price adjustments for inventory, certain compensation charges, contract termination and workforce rebalancing charges.

Fiscal Year 2023 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 30, 2023, the Company completed business acquisitions for a total consideration of $134 million that resulted in the recognition of $49 million of identifiable net assets and $85 million of goodwill.
The financial results of these acquired businesses, which were not material, were included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations from their respective dates of acquisition under the Data Center, Client and Embedded segments.
Fiscal Year 2022 Acquisitions
In the fourth quarter of 2023, these IPR&D assets reached technological feasibility and were reclassified as developed technology, and began amortization over their estimated useful lives of 15 years.

On February 14, 2022 (the Xilinx Acquisition Date), the Company completed the acquisition of Xilinx, Inc. (Xilinx).
On May 26, 2022 (the Pensando Acquisition Date), the Company completed the acquisition of Pensando Systems, Inc. (Pensando).
See Note 5 - Business Combinations for additional information on these acquisitions.
Custom products arrangements generally involve a single performance obligation.
As a result, during the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s quantitative impairment analysis uses a combination of the income approach, which requires estimates of the present value of expected future cash flows of a reporting unit, and the market approach, which uses financial ratios of comparable companies to arrive at an estimated value for the reporting units.
Significant estimates and assumptions used in the income approach include assessments of macroeconomic conditions, growth rates of reporting units in the near- and long-term, expectations of the Company’s ability to execute on roadmaps and projections, and the discount rate applied to cash flows.
Significant estimates used in the market approach include the identification of comparable companies for each reporting unit, and the determination of the appropriate multiples to apply to a reporting unit based on adjustments and consideration of specific attributes of that reporting unit.
For certain foreign subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.
Gains or losses arising from translation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (i.e., cumulative translation adjustment) are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.
The change is considered preferable based on the Company’s facts and circumstances as it provides better and more timely information of expected future income tax liabilities arising from temporary tax differences primarily associated with the Xilinx acquisition.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded $27.3 billion of identified intangible assets (refer to Note 5 - Business Combinations), of which $16.9 billion are related to foreign operations which will be amortized to income from operations over the assets’ estimated useful lives, but for which the Company will not receive a tax deduction under GILTI.
This accounting policy change resulted in the recording of $857 million of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Xilinx acquisition as disclosed in Note 14 - Income Taxes.
In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2022, it resulted in a decrease in the income tax provision with a corresponding increase to net income of $296 million and an increase in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.19, as compared to the computation under the previous accounting policy.
This accounting policy change had no material impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.
*Accrued Interest on Unrecognized Tax Benefits.* Prior to 2022, the Company reported any interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of Interest expense and reported any related penalties as a component of Income tax provision (benefit).
In 2022, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for tax interest expense from Interest expense to the Income tax provision (benefit) line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
This change in classification is considered preferable as it i) better aligns classification of tax interest with the substance of the underlying tax positions, which are managed inclusive of interest, ii) allows for greater visibility to the cost of the Company’s debt and other financing activities, and iii) better aligns with common industry practice and provides increased comparability.
This accounting policy change resulted in a decrease in Interest expense and corresponding increase to i) Income before income taxes and equity income and ii) Income tax provision (benefit) as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $11 million in 2022.
This accounting policy change had an immaterial effect on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in 2021 and 2020, and the Company did not revise its previously issued consolidated financial statements for these fiscal years.
This accounting policy change had no impact to net income or basic and diluted earnings per share, or to financial statements besides the Consolidated Statements of Operations, for any period, as compared to the computation under the previous accounting policy.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company updated its segment reporting structure to align financial reporting with the manner in which the Company manages its business in strategic end markets.
The Company’s disclosed measure of segment operating results has been updated consistent with the revised manner in which the Company’s CODM assesses the company’s financial performance and allocates resources.
All prior-period segment data have been retrospectively adjusted.

Management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December [removed: 31, 2022] [added: 30, 2023] at the reasonable assurance level.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December [removed: 31, 2022,] [added: 30, 2023,] which is included in Part II, Item 8, above.

In connection with this implementation, we modified the design and documentation of our internal control processes and procedures relating to the new system.
Following the implementation, the changes to our control environment were validated according to our established processes and our internal controls over financial reporting continued to operate as designed.
We are currently in the process of integrating the Xilinx and Pensando operations, control processes and information systems into our systems and control environment.
We believe that we have taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting during this integration.

The U.S. government has designated the Russian Federal Security Service (the FSB) as a blocked party under Executive Order 13382.
In addition, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has issued General License No. 1B (the OFAC General License), which generally authorizes certain licensing, permitting, certification, notification, and related transactions with the FSB as may be required for the importation, distribution, or use of information technology products in the Russian Federation.
As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2022, Xilinx, which we acquired on February 14, 2022, previously authorized prior to such acquisition certain third-party resellers in Russia to periodically file notifications with, or apply for import licenses and permits from, the FSB on its behalf in connection with the importation of its products into the Russian Federation, as permitted under the OFAC General License.
Subsequent to February 14, 2022, but during the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2022, third-party resellers filed additional notifications with and/or applied for import licenses and permits from the FSB on behalf of Xilinx.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2022, we and our subsidiaries, including Xilinx, suspended shipments to the Russian Federation.
There was no gross revenue or net profits of ours or any of our subsidiaries directly associated with these filing activities.
We and our subsidiaries do not sell products or provide services to the FSB.
