OUR PANDEMIC RESPONSE |
Our top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic is protecting the health and safety of our employees. As governments institute new restrictions on commercial operations, we are working to ensure our compliance while also maintaining business continuity for essential operations in our factories. At this time, our factories continue to operate around the world in accordance with guidance issued by local and national government authorities. We remain open as we support our employees who work in labs and factories critical to our world’s digital infrastructure.
For the first three months of 2020 we observed strong notebook platform demand driven by the increase in working and learning from home and saw continued strength in data center demand as cloud service providers increased capacity. However, weakness in the industrial and retail verticals drove weaker demand in our IOTG business.
Our technology runs most of the world’s internet, communications, and government digital infrastructures, and our products and capabilities are delivering vital computing power for medical research, robotics for assisted patient care, and artificial intelligence and data analytics for public health. Our platforms that support telemedicine have also taken on greater importance since the outbreak of COVID-19 as hospitals and healthcare workers scale to meet the increasing demand for care. The PCs and networking technologies that we and our customers deliver are supporting the unprecedented volume of remote workers and enabling personal connections while social distancing.
We are focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees and we continue to operate to deliver for our customers while contributing to our communities.
OUR EMPLOYEES
Intel’s Pandemic Leadership Team, established more than 15 years ago to improve Intel’s crisis management response capability, is deeply engaged to keep our employees safe. This specialized team includes medical and safety experts who work to safeguard the well-being of employees and minimize the spread of infection. They also collaborate with local governments and public health organizations and implement their recommendations. In the past, the team has successfully helped us manage through global health issues such as bird flu, SARS, Ebola, Zika, and the H1N1 virus.
Working-from-home and social distancing policies. As we navigate through the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic we are working to ensure compliance with orders and restrictions imposed by government authorities. We have significantly reduced the number of people in our offices, helping to protect our employees who work in our labs and factories and who are essential to keeping our business running. Maintaining safe facilities is core to how we operate, and we are implementing additional practices in our fabs and assembly test plants so manufacturing employees can safely continue performing critical work on site. In addition to increased cleaning of our facilities, our manufacturing sites are taking extra steps to effectively implement social distancing. Some of these measures include staggering shift changes, adjusting meeting locations and schedules, limiting activities that require close proximity, and making thermometers and masks available (in addition to the normal protective gear worn by many factory employees). At our construction sites, we are working closely with our general contractors to implement social distancing, increased cleaning, and other protocols to safeguard the health of all workers on site.
Compensation and expanded benefits. We are investing more than $100 million in additional benefits to aid and support employees, including special recognition for employees that have been working on-site and healthcare coverage changes under the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
Employees and contractors asked to work from home or self-quarantine due to travel restrictions will be paid their regular pay, and Intel will reimburse up to 30 days of care services for employees who need backup childcare and/or elder care in the case where there are school or care center closures or if an employee or family member is required to be self-quarantined.
To aid in the overall well-being of our employees, we also have our existing global Employee Assistance Plan that provides confidential counseling and work-life services to employees and immediate family members.
OUR CUSTOMERS
We are in the midst of what is likely a historic deployment of remote work and digital access to services. We are committed to our customers to enable the support they need to continue providing vital services, tools, and infrastructure to millions.
Operations. Our factories continue to operate world-wide in compliance with the orders and restrictions imposed by government authorities in each of our locations, and we are working with our customers to meet their specific shipment needs. Our world-class safety standards have to date allowed our factories to continue to operate safely and with mostly on-time deliveries. We only allow employees in our factories who are essential to the factories’ operations. By design, our “cleanrooms” and factories are among the cleanest places in the world. While most of our construction projects have remained operational, we temporarily paused a few projects due to local government restrictions at a small number of our sites. We currently expect these interruptions to have minimal impact on our product ramps and do not expect them to impact our process technology transition timelines. We remain on-track to add sufficient wafer capacity this year to meet anticipated market demand and restore our PC unit inventory levels.
OUR PANDEMIC RESPONSE | 2 |
Supply chain. Our employees and partners around the world have collaborated and leveraged lessons learned—in recent months and from past challenges—to safely keep the global tech supply chain functioning. Our Pandemic Leadership Team is at the center of these efforts and through our Business Continuity Program we perform ongoing work with our suppliers to review their preparations to handle sudden disruptions to the supply chain. We have taken several actions throughout the pandemic to address our supply chain. For example:
• | Where feasible and practicable, we increased inventory of raw materials as well as our supply of our finished goods coming out of China in early February. It is our practice to plan for scenarios where supply will be restricted or compromised in our supply chain for 30-60 days or more. |
• | We activated backup planning to reroute and obtain charter flights if needed into and from China, securing capacity early. As the virus spread, we leveraged the successful methodology used in China for other parts of Asia and Europe. |
• | We evaluated the end-to-end supply line needs for all products ramping this year, worked on securing supply lines and deployed our business continuity plans to mitigate potential risks. |
We are working with governments around the world to confirm our compliance with local requirements for continued operation as an essential business. We have also worked closely with our suppliers to help protect their employees' health and safety, to provide supplier assistance to mitigate supply disruptions, and to clarify our continued expectations for labor practices and human rights in line with the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct.
OUR COMMUNITY
Intel has a longstanding commitment to support the local communities where we operate and to create a better world through the power of our technology. We have committed over $60 million to accelerate access to technology needed to combat the crisis and to support the needs of frontline healthcare workers and people in our local communities. We've also been inspired by our employees who have proposed innovative ideas for how we can apply our resources and technology to support our stakeholders throughout this crisis.
Using our technology to help. In April, we pledged $50 million in a Pandemic Response Technology Initiative to combat COVID-19 through accelerating access to technology at the point of patient care, speeding scientific research, and ensuring access to online learning for students. A portion of this amount has been allocated to an additional innovation fund that supports requests from external partners and employee-led relief projects where access to Intel expertise and resources can have immediate impact. This initiative builds on prior announcements of $10 million in donations that are supporting local communities during this critical time.
We are providing access to our intellectual property and partnering with customers to put technology to work towards understanding and fighting COVID-19. For example:
• | We are giving COVID-19 scientists and researchers free access to our worldwide intellectual property portfolio. We will continue to invent—and protect—our intellectual property, but we offer it freely to those working to protect people from this pandemic. |
• | We are teaming with Lenovo and BGI Genomics to accelerate the analysis of genomic characteristics of COVID-19. Our combined work will further advance the capabilities of BGI’s sequencing tools to help scientists investigate transmission patterns of the virus and create better diagnostic methods. |
• | We are deploying Intel platform-based robots in hospitals to protect doctors and nurses by transporting medical supplies and surgical equipment to reduce human-to-human interactions. |
• | We are working with Dyson and medical consultancy firm TTP to supply FPGAs for CoVent, a new ventilator specifically designed in response to the U.K. government’s request for help. |
• | We are collaborating with Medtronic to add remote monitoring capabilities to their PB980 ventilator, which helps reduce exposure for healthcare providers treating COVID-19 patients. |
Philanthropic efforts. We are also committed to providing monetary and non-monetary support to our communities. For example:
• | We committed a $1 million donation to the International Red Cross to support global relief efforts for the COVID-19 pandemic. |
• | We announced the Intel Foundation is providing $4 million to support COVID-19 relief efforts in communities where we have significant presence. The foundation also offered a special monetary matching opportunity for every regular full-time and part-time employee and U.S. Intel retiree up to a total of $2 million for relief efforts around major Intel sites. |
• | We donated more than 1 million items of personal protective equipment—masks, gloves, and other gear—to healthcare workers that were sourced from our factory stock and emergency supplies. |
• | We also joined the global XPRIZE Pandemic Alliance along with other companies to fuel collaboration on solutions through shared innovation to effectively address the immediate needs of the crisis. |
OUR PANDEMIC RESPONSE | 3 |
MOVING FORWARD
There is uncertainty around the impacts the pandemic will have on our business and the additional measures that may be necessary going forward. We will continue to actively monitor the situation, including the status of our workforce and factories, supply chain, and customers, suppliers, and vendors, to determine the appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of our employees and our ongoing operations for our customers. This includes actions informed by the requirements and recommendations of the federal, state or local authorities.
Economic and demand uncertainty in the current environment may impact our future results. We continue to assess how the effects of COVID-19 on the economy may offset the immediate catalysts from more remote work and learning, and we recognize that our operations could be disrupted if our employees working in our fabs and factories contract the virus. We expect continued strength from cloud service providers and communications service providers in the second quarter of 2020, and anticipate enterprise and government demand to weaken in the second half of 2020. We also expect lower demand in IOTG and Mobileye for the rest of the year. As global GDP estimates are revised down, we expect PC TAM to decline in the second half of the year. We remain focused on cash flow management, including careful management of operating expenses, capital expenditures, and working capital.
OUR PANDEMIC RESPONSE | 4 |
A QUARTER IN REVIEW |
Total revenue of $19.8 billion was up $3.8 billion year over year as our data-centric businesses and PC-centric business grew by 34% and 14% respectively. Data-centric revenue was up, driven by growth across all DCG business market segments, strong mix of high-performance Intel® Xeon® processors, NSG bit growth, and improved NAND pricing. Our PC-centric business was up, driven by notebook platform1 volume strength and higher modem sales. Increased platform unit sales, ASP strength, and lower period charges resulted in higher gross margins and operating income, partially offset by higher platform unit cost. In the first three months we generated $6.2 billion of cash flow from operations and returned $5.6 billion to stockholders, including $1.4 billion in dividends and $4.2 billion in buybacks.

Growth in most data-centric businesses and growth in the PC-centric business | Higher gross margin from increase in platform unit sales and platform ASP strength, lower period charges, NAND market recovery and improved NAND unit cost, partially offset by increase in platform unit cost | Higher platform volume, platform ASP strength, lower period charges, NAND market recovery and improved unit cost, and lower shares outstanding, partially offset by higher platform unit cost and higher tax | Higher net income offset by working capital changes driven by other assets and liabilities and accounts receivable |
BUSINESS SUMMARY
• | We introduced a broad, data-centric portfolio for 5G network infrastructure including the new Intel Atom® P5900, a 10nm SoC for wireless base stations; a next-generation structured ASIC for 5G network acceleration; and the launch of new 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. |
• | We announced the 10th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series mobile processors, a new family of mobile processors aimed at gamers and creators everywhere, which deliver faster performance with up to 5.3GHz Turbo, eight cores, and 16 threads. |
• | We experienced growth in most data-centric businesses. DCG grew across all segments and adjacencies continued to ramp. NSG grew with record revenue driven by NAND and Intel® Optane™ memory bit growth and higher ASP. Mobileye recognized record revenue with increasing ADAS adoption. IOTG declined on COVID-19 impact. |
• | PC-centric growth was driven by notebook demand strength as consumers and businesses are relying on PCs for working and learning at home. |

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | Consolidated Condensed Statements of Stockholders' Equity | 10 |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
NOTE 1 : | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
We prepared our interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019.
We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. The inputs into our judgments and estimates consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on our critical and significant accounting estimates. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Form 10-K where we include additional information about our policies and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates.
NOTE 2 : | OPERATING SEGMENTS |
We manage our business through the following operating segments:
• | DCG |
• | IOTG |
• | Mobileye |
• | NSG |
• | PSG |
• | CCG |
We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from platform products, which are our principal products and considered as one class of product. We offer platform products that incorporate various components and technologies, including a microprocessor and chipset, a stand-alone SoC, or a multichip package. Platform products are used in various form factors across our DCG, IOTG, and CCG operating segments. Our non-platform, or adjacent products, can be combined with platform products to form comprehensive platform solutions to meet customer needs.
DCG and CCG are our reportable operating segments. IOTG, Mobileye, NSG, and PSG do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable operating segments; however, we have elected to disclose the results of these non-reportable operating segments. Our Internet of Things portfolio, presented as Internet of Things, is comprised of IOTG and Mobileye operating segments.
We have an “all other” category that includes revenue, expenses, and charges such as:
• | results of operations from non-reportable segments not otherwise presented; |
• | historical results of operations from divested businesses; |
• | results of operations of start-up businesses that support our initiatives, including our foundry business; |
• | amounts included within restructuring and other charges; |
• | a portion of employee benefits, compensation, and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments; and |
• | acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill. |
The CODM, who is our CEO, does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue. We do not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Although the CODM uses operating income to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except for these differences, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for Intel as a whole.

Planned Divestiture of our Home Gateway Platform Division
We signed a definitive agreement on April 5, 2020 to sell the majority of Home Gateway Platform, a division of CCG. The transaction contemplates the transfer of certain employees, equipment, and an on-going supply agreement for future units. We reclassified the assets and liabilities as held-for-sale within other current assets/liabilities. We expect to close the transaction in the third quarter of 2020.
NOTE 3 : | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
We computed basic earnings per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We computed diluted earnings per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Earnings per share—basic | $ | 1.33 | $ | 0.88 | ||||
Earnings per share—diluted | $ | 1.31 | $ | 0.87 |
Potentially dilutive shares of common stock from employee equity incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding RSUs, and the assumed issuance of common stock under the stock purchase plan.
In January 2020, we fully redeemed the remaining principal of our 2009 Debentures. We included our 2009 Debentures in the calculation of diluted earnings per share of common stock in 2019 by applying the treasury stock method because the average market price was above the conversion price.
Securities which would have been anti-dilutive are insignificant and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in all periods presented.

NOTE 4 : | CONTRACT LIABILITIES |

Other | 271 | 236 | ||||||
Total contract liabilities | $ | 1,989 | $ | 2,041 |
Contract liabilities are primarily related to prepayments received from customers on long-term prepaid supply agreements toward future NSG product delivery. The short-term portion of contract liabilities is reported on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets within other accrued liabilities.
The following table shows the changes in contract liability balances relating to long-term prepaid supply agreements during the first three months of 2020:
(In Millions) | ||||
Prepaid supply agreements balance as of December 28, 2019 | $ | 1,805 | ||
Prepayments utilized | (87 | ) | ||
Prepaid supply agreements balance as of March 28, 2020 | $ | 1,718 |
If new long-term prepaid supply agreements are entered into and performance obligations are negotiated, this component of the contract liability balance will increase, and as customers purchase product and utilize their prepaid balances, the balance will decrease.
The timing and amount of future anticipated revenues from these agreements may vary from our expectations due to changes in supply, demand, and market pricing.

1 | To manage foreign currency risk associated with the Australian-dollar-denominated notes issued in 2015, we entered into currency interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $396 million, which effectively converted these notes to U.S.-dollar-denominated notes. For further discussion on our currency interest rate swaps, see "Note 11: Derivative Financial Instruments." |
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | Notes to Financial Statements | 17 |
In November 2019, we issued a notice of redemption for the remaining $372 million of 2009 Debentures with a redemption date of January 9, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the closing stock price conversion right condition of the 2009 Debentures continued to be met and therefore the debentures were convertible at the option of the holders until January 6, 2020. All 2009 Debentures were either converted prior to January 6, 2020 or redeemed on the redemption date.
In the first three months of 2020, we issued a total of $10.3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include refinancing outstanding debt, funding for working capital and capital expenditures, and repurchasing shares of our common stock.
Our senior floating rate notes pay interest quarterly and our senior fixed rate notes pay interest semiannually. We may redeem the fixed rate notes prior to their maturity at our option at specified redemption prices and subject to certain restrictions. The obligations under the notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively rank junior to all liabilities of our subsidiaries.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | Notes to Financial Statements | 19 |
ASSETS MEASURED AND RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A NON-RECURRING BASIS
Our non-marketable equity securities, equity method investments, and certain non-financial assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value only if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period. If an observable price adjustment or impairment is recognized on our non-marketable equity securities during the period, we classify these assets as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the fair value inputs.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include non-marketable equity securities and equity method investments that have not been remeasured or impaired in the current period, grants receivable, loans receivable, reverse repurchase agreements, and issued debt.
As of March 28, 2020, the aggregate carrying value of grants receivable, loans receivable, and reverse repurchase agreements was $534 million ($543 million as of December 28, 2019). The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value and is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the fair value inputs.
As of March 28, 2020, the fair value of our issued debt was $41.3 billion ($30.6 billion as of December 28, 2019). These liabilities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the fair value inputs.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to various legal proceedings, including those noted in this section. Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends, legal proceedings and related government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices, or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends. We might also conclude that settling one or more such matters is in the best interests of our stockholders, employees, and customers, and any such settlement could include substantial payments. Except as specifically described below, we have not concluded that settlement of any of the legal proceedings noted in this section is appropriate at this time.

European Commission Competition Matter
In 2001, the EC commenced an investigation regarding claims by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) that we used unfair business practices to persuade customers to buy our microprocessors. We received numerous requests for information and documents from the EC and we responded to each of those requests. The EC issued a Statement of Objections in July 2007 and held a hearing on that Statement in March 2008. The EC issued a Supplemental Statement of Objections in July 2008. In May 2009, the EC issued a decision finding that we had violated Article 82 of the EC Treaty and Article 54 of the European Economic Area Agreement. In general, the EC found that we violated Article 82 (later renumbered as Article 102 by a new treaty) by offering alleged "conditional rebates and payments" that required our customers to purchase all or most of their x86 microprocessors from us. The EC also found that we violated Article 82 by making alleged "payments to prevent sales of specific rival products." The EC imposed a fine in the amount of €1.1 billion ($1.4 billion as of May 2009), which we subsequently paid during the third quarter of 2009, and ordered us to "immediately bring to an end the infringement referred to in" the EC decision.
The EC decision contained no specific direction on whether or how we should modify our business practices. Instead, the decision stated that we should "cease and desist" from further conduct that, in the EC's opinion, would violate applicable law. We took steps, which are subject to the EC's ongoing review, to comply with that decision pending appeal. We had discussions with the EC to better understand the decision and to explain changes to our business practices.
We appealed the EC decision to the Court of First Instance (which has been renamed the General Court) in July 2009. The hearing of our appeal took place in July 2012. In June 2014, the General Court rejected our appeal in its entirety. In August 2014, we filed an appeal with the European Court of Justice. In November 2014, Intervener Association for Competitive Technologies filed comments in support of Intel’s grounds of appeal. The EC and interveners filed briefs in November 2014, we filed a reply in February 2015, and the EC filed a rejoinder in April 2015. The Court of Justice held oral argument in June 2016. In October 2016, Advocate General Wahl, an advisor to the Court of Justice, issued a non-binding advisory opinion that favored Intel on a number of grounds. The Court of Justice issued its decision in September 2017, setting aside the judgment of the General Court and sending the case back to the General Court to examine whether the rebates at issue were capable of restricting competition. The General Court has appointed a panel of five judges to consider our appeal of the EC’s 2009 decision in light of the Court of Justice’s clarifications of the law. In November 2017, the parties filed initial “Observations” about the Court of Justice’s decision and the appeal and were invited by the General Court to offer supplemental comments to each other’s “Observations,” which the parties submitted in March 2018. Responses to other questions posed by the General Court were filed in May and June 2018. The General Court heard oral argument in March 2020. Pending the final decision in this matter, the fine paid by Intel has been placed by the EC in commercial bank accounts where it accrues interest.
Litigation Related to Security Vulnerabilities
In June 2017, a Google research team notified us and other companies that it had identified security vulnerabilities (now commonly referred to as “Spectre” and “Meltdown”) that affect many types of microprocessors, including our products. As is standard when findings like these are presented, we worked together with other companies in the industry to verify the research and develop and validate software and firmware updates for impacted technologies. On January 3, 2018, information on the security vulnerabilities was publicly reported, before software and firmware updates to address the vulnerabilities were made widely available. Numerous lawsuits relating to the Spectre and Meltdown security vulnerabilities, as well as another variant of these vulnerabilities (“Foreshadow”) that has since been identified, have been filed against Intel and, in certain cases, our current and former executives and directors, in U.S. federal and state courts and in certain courts in other countries.
As of April 22, 2020, consumer class action lawsuits relating to certain security vulnerabilities publicly disclosed in 2018 were pending in the U.S., Canada, and Israel. The plaintiffs, who purport to represent various classes of purchasers of our products, generally claim to have been harmed by Intel's actions and/or omissions in connection with the security vulnerabilities and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages and equitable relief. In the U.S., numerous individual class action suits filed in various jurisdictions were consolidated in April 2018 for all pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. In March 2020, the court granted Intel's motion to dismiss the complaint in that consolidated action, but granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint. In Canada, in one case pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, an initial status conference has not yet been scheduled. In a second case pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Quebec, the court has stayed the case until April 2020. In Israel, both consumer class action lawsuits were filed in the District Court of Haifa. In the first case, the District Court denied the parties' joint motion to stay filed in January 2019, but to date has deferred Intel's deadline to respond to the complaint in view of Intel's pending motion to dismiss in the consolidated proceeding in the U.S. Intel filed a motion to stay the second case pending resolution of the consolidated proceeding in the U.S., and a hearing on that motion has been scheduled for May 2020. Additional lawsuits and claims may be asserted seeking monetary damages or other related relief. We dispute the pending claims described above and intend to defend those lawsuits vigorously. Given the procedural posture and the nature of those cases, including that the pending proceedings are in the early stages, that alleged damages have not been specified, that uncertainty exists as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class or classes if certified, and that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from those matters.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | Notes to Financial Statements | 24 |
In addition to these lawsuits, Intel stockholders filed multiple shareholder derivative lawsuits since January 2018 against certain current and former members of our Board of Directors and certain current and former officers, alleging that the defendants breached their duties to Intel in connection with the disclosure of the security vulnerabilities and the failure to take action in relation to alleged insider trading. The complaints sought to recover damages from the defendants on behalf of Intel. Some of the derivative actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and were consolidated, and the others were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in San Mateo County and were consolidated. The federal court granted defendants' motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint in the federal action in August 2018 on the ground that plaintiffs failed to plead facts sufficient to show they were excused from making a pre-lawsuit demand on the Board. The federal court granted plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint, but subsequently dismissed the cases without prejudice in January 2019 at plaintiffs' request. In August 2018, the California Superior Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint in the state court action on the ground that plaintiffs failed to plead facts sufficient to show they were excused from making a pre-lawsuit demand on the Board, but granted plaintiffs leave to amend. The court subsequently granted defendants' motion to dismiss plaintiffs' first, second, and third amended complaints, on the same ground, and in March 2020 granted defendants' motion to dismiss plaintiffs' third amended complaint without granting plaintiffs leave to amend. Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the court's final order of dismissal, which is scheduled for hearing in June 2020.
Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences v. Intel China, Ltd., et al.
In February 2018, the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMECAS) sued Intel China, Ltd., Dell China, Ltd. (Dell) and Beijing JingDong Century Information Technology, Ltd. (JD) for patent infringement in the Beijing High Court. IMECAS alleges that Intel’s Core series processors infringe Chinese patent CN 102956457 (’457 Patent). The complaint demands an injunction and damages of at least RMB 200,000,000 plus the cost of litigation. A trial date is not yet set. In March 2018, Dell tendered indemnity to Intel, which Intel granted in April 2018. JD also tendered indemnity to Intel, which Intel granted in October 2018. In March 2018, Intel filed an invalidation request on the ‘457 patent with the Chinese Patent Reexamination Board (PRB). The PRB held an oral hearing in September 2018 and in February 2019 upheld the validity of the challenged claims. In January 2020, Intel filed a second invalidation request on the ‘457 patent with the PRB. In September 2018 and March 2019, Intel filed petitions with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) requesting institution of inter partes review (IPR) of U.S. Patent No. 9,070,719, the U.S. counterpart to the ‘457 patent. The USPTO denied institution of Intel’s petitions in March and October 2019, respectively. In April 2019, Intel filed a request for rehearing and a petition for Precedential Opinion Panel (POP) in the USPTO to challenge the denial of its first IPR petition, and in November 2019 Intel filed a request for rehearing on the second IPR petition. In January 2020, the USPTO denied the rehearing and petition on the first IPR petition.
In October 2019, IMECAS filed second and third lawsuits, in the Beijing IP Court, alleging infringement of Chinese Patent No. CN 102386226 (‘226 Patent) based on the manufacturing and sale of Intel’s Core i3 microprocessors. Defendants in the second case are Lenovo (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (Lenovo) and Beijing Jiayun Huitong Technology Development Co. Ltd. (BJHT). Defendants in the third case are Intel Corp., Intel China Co., Ltd., the Intel China Beijing Branch, Beijing Digital China Co., Ltd. (Digital China), and JD. Both complaints demand injunctions plus litigation costs and reserve the right to claim damages in unspecified amounts. No proceedings have occurred or are yet scheduled in these lawsuits. In December 2019, Lenovo tendered indemnity to Intel, which Intel granted in March 2020. Given the procedural posture and the nature of these cases, the unspecified nature and extent of damages claimed by IMECAS, and uncertainty regarding the availability of injunctive relief under applicable law, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, arising from these matters. We dispute IMECAS’s claims and intend to vigorously defend against them.

REVENUE AND OPERATING INCOME SUMMARY |
Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019 |
IOTG revenue was $883 million, down $27 million, driven by weaker demand for IOTG platform products in industrial and retail due to COVID-19. We expect this weakening to continue for the rest of the year. Operating income was $243 million, down $8 million year over year.
Mobileye recognized record revenue of $254 million, up $45 million, due to our growing market share and the increasing adoption of our ADAS solutions. Operating income was $88 million, up $20 million. We expect demand will soften in 2020 as the effects of COVID-19 continue to slow automotive production.

REVENUE SUMMARY |
Revenue in Q1 2020 was up 14% compared to Q1 2019, driven by strong demand for notebook platform products and incremental LTE modem volume, offset slightly by lower ASPs due to increased small core mix. Strength in notebook platform products reflects the increased reliance on PCs as more people are working and learning from home due to COVID-19.
We expect this strength to continue for the first half of the year but anticipate PC TAM to decline in the second half of 2020.

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019
Our Q1 2020 revenue was $19.8 billion, up $3.8 billion or 23% from Q1 2019. Compared to a year ago, our data-centric businesses were collectively up 34% as demand from data center customers continued to strengthen as cloud service providers increased capacity to serve customer demand. We also saw higher volume from strong demand for NAND products and an offset from weaker demand in IOTG. Revenue in our PC-centric business was up 14% year over year driven by strong notebook platform demand resulting from an increase in working and learning from home, and incremental growth in LTE modem.
GROSS MARGIN
We derived most of our overall gross margin from the sale of platform products in the CCG and DCG operating segments. Our overall gross margin dollars in Q1 2020 increased by $2.9 billion, or 32.2% compared to Q1 2019.

Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity. When assessing our sources of liquidity, we include investments as shown in the preceding table. We maintain a diverse investment portfolio that we continually analyze based on issuer, industry, and country. Substantially all of our investments in debt instruments and financing receivables are in investment-grade securities.
Other potential sources of liquidity include our commercial paper program and our automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, pursuant to which we may offer an unspecified amount of debt, equity, and other securities. Under our commercial paper program, we have an ongoing authorization from our Board of Directors to borrow up to $10.0 billion. As of March 28, 2020, we had no outstanding commercial paper.
We believe we have sufficient financial resources to meet our business requirements in the next 12 months, including capital expenditures for worldwide manufacturing and assembly and test; working capital requirements; and potential acquisitions, strategic investments, and dividends. As we enter a period of economic uncertainty, we took actions this quarter that further strengthen our liquidity. During the first three months of 2020 we issued a total of $10.3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. Additionally, on March 24, 2020 we suspended the use of our financial resources for stock repurchases, having repurchased approximately $7.6 billion of our planned $20.0 billion repurchases announced in October 2019. The suspension of stock repurchases will not impact dividend payments to stockholders and the company has the ability to reinstate stock repurchases as circumstances warrant.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities.
For the first three months of 2020 compared to the first three months of 2019, the increase in cash provided by operations was due to higher net income offset by changes in working capital driven by other assets and liabilities and accounts receivable.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures; investment purchases, sales, maturities, and disposals; and proceeds from divestitures and cash used for acquisitions.
Cash used for investing activities was higher in the first three months of 2020 compared to the first three months of 2019 primarily due to decreased sales of equity investments (substantially all from ASML sales).
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consist primarily of repurchases of common stock, payment of dividends to stockholders, issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt, and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock through employee equity incentive plans.
Cash was provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2020 compared to cash used for financing activities in the first three months of 2019 primarily due to increased long-term debt issuances offset by increased repurchases of common stock and reduced proceeds from short-term debt.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
During Q1 2020, we issued a total of $10.3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. Our remaining total cash payments over the life of these long-term debt obligations are expected to be approximately $19.1 billion. These payments include anticipated interest on fixed rate debt that is not recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. For further information, see "Note 8: Borrowings" within the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Supplemental Details.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are affected by changes in currency exchange and interest rates, as well as equity and commodity prices. Our risk management programs are designed to reduce, but may not entirely eliminate, the impacts of these risks. We performed sensitivity analyses of these risks to our financial positions as of December 28, 2019, and updated that sensitivity analysis as of March 28, 2020, to determine whether material changes in market risks pertaining to currency and interest rates or equity and commodity prices have occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. No material revisions were noted since disclosing "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" within MD&A, in our 2019 Form 10-K. Risks related to a slowdown or recession are described below under “Risk Factors.”
MD&A | 37 |
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this document contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated using an appropriate tax rate for each adjustment. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
Non-GAAP adjustment or measure | Definition | Usefulness to management and investors |
Acquisition-related adjustments | Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology, brands, and customer relationships acquired in connection with business combinations. Charges related to the amortization of these intangibles are recorded within both cost of sales and MG&A in our U.S. GAAP financial statements. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years. | We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends. |
Restructuring and other charges | Restructuring charges are costs associated with a formal restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Other charges include asset impairments, pension charges, and costs associated with restructuring activity. | We exclude restructuring and other charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our current operating performance and are significantly impacted by the timing of restructuring activity. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends. |
Ongoing mark-to-market on marketable equity securities | After the initial mark-to-market adjustment is recorded upon a security becoming marketable, gains and losses are recognized from ongoing mark-to-market adjustments of our marketable equity securities. | We exclude these ongoing gains and losses for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we do not believe this volatility correlates to our core operational performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results. |
Free cash flow | We reference a non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow, which is used by management when assessing our sources of liquidity, capital resources, and quality of earnings. Free cash flow is operating cash flow adjusted to exclude additions to property, plant, and equipment. | This non-GAAP financial measure is helpful in understanding our capital requirements and provides an additional means to evaluate the cash flow trends of our business. |

OTHER KEY INFORMATION |
RISK FACTORS
The risks described in "Risk Factors" within Other Key Information in our 2019 Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. In addition to our discussion in “Our Pandemic Response,” MD&A, and other sections of this report to address effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have provided an additional risk factor regarding COVID-19 below and have updated the risk factors included in our 2019 Form 10-K titled "Global or regional conditions can harm our financial results" and "Catastrophic events can have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results." As discussed below, the impact of COVID-19 can also exacerbate other risks discussed in the Risk Factors sections of our 2019 Form 10-K and this report, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us. The Risk Factors section in our 2019 Form 10-K otherwise remains current in all material respects. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face—our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The novel strain of the coronavirus identified in China in late 2019 (COVID-19) has globally spread throughout other areas such as Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America and has resulted in authorities imposing, and businesses and individuals implementing, numerous unprecedented measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place/stay-at-home and social distancing orders, and shutdowns. These measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our respective vendors, suppliers, and partners. We have significant manufacturing operations in the U.S., Ireland, Israel, China, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and each of these countries has been affected by the outbreak and taken measures to try to contain it. The ultimate impact and efficacy of government measures and potential future measures is currently unknown.
There is considerable uncertainty regarding the business impacts from such measures and potential future measures. While we have been able to operate our factories on a relatively normal basis to date, shelter-in-place orders and other measures, including work-from-home and social distancing policies implemented to protect employees, have resulted in reduced workforce availability at some of our sites, construction delays, and reduced capacity at some of our vendors and suppliers. Restrictions on our access to or operation of our manufacturing facilities or on our support operations or workforce, or similar limitations for our vendors and suppliers, can impact our ability to meet customer demand and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if prolonged. Similarly, current and future restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures, and increased border controls or closures, can also impact our ability to meet demand and could materially adversely affect us. Our customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations and supply chains, which can result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders, or collection risks, and which may adversely affect our results of operations. We have paused new construction projects at several of our manufacturing sites due to local government restrictions. Our current expectation that these interruptions will have a minimal impact on our product ramps and will not affect our timelines for process technology transitions could prove to be inaccurate, and it is possible our plans could be adversely affected to the extent these interruptions are prolonged, additional projects are paused, or other unexpected consequences impacting production occur.
The pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. It is likely that the current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 will cause an economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. There is a significant degree of uncertainty and lack of visibility as to the extent and duration of any such slowdown or recession. Risks related to a slowdown or recession are described in our risk factor titled “Global or regional conditions can harm our financial results,” below, and include the risk that demand for our products will be significantly harmed. We are currently seeing negative impacts on demand in some of our businesses, and are expecting slowing economic conditions to adversely affect those and certain other segments in the second half of 2020, as discussed in the “Our Pandemic Response” section of this report. Given the significant economic uncertainty and volatility created by the pandemic, it is difficult to predict the nature and extent of impacts on demand for our products. These expectations are subject to change without warning and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them.
The pandemic has led to increased disruption and volatility in capital markets and credit markets. We issued over $10 billion in new debt in Q1 2020 and announced the suspension of our stock repurchases on March 24, 2020 to strengthen our liquidity position given the uncertainty regarding the length and severity of the pandemic and ongoing economic uncertainty. Unanticipated consequences of the pandemic and resulting economic uncertainty could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future. Market volatility has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our equity investment portfolio.
The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Work-from-home and other measures introduce additional operational risks, including cybersecurity risks, and have affected the way we conduct our product development, validation, and qualification, customer support, and other activities, which could have an adverse effect on our operations. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and illness and workforce disruptions could lead to unavailability of key personnel and harm our ability to perform critical functions.
OTHER KEY INFORMATION | 40 |
The degree to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, other actions taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in response to the virus and resulting economic disruption, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. We are similarly unable to predict the degree to which the pandemic impacts our customers, suppliers, vendors, and other partners, and their financial conditions, but a material effect on these parties could also adversely affect us. The impact of COVID-19 can also exacerbate other risks discussed in the Risk Factors sections of our 2019 Form 10-K and this report, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us. Developments related to COVID-19 have been rapidly changing, and additional impacts and risks may arise that we are not aware of or able to appropriately respond to currently.
Global or regional conditions can harm our financial results. We have manufacturing, assembly and test, R&D, sales, and other operations in many countries, and some of our business activities are concentrated in one or more geographic areas. Moreover, sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 78% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019, with revenue from billings to China, including Hong Kong, contributing approximately 28% of our total revenue. As a result, our operations and our financial results, including our ability to manufacture, assemble and test, design, develop, or sell products, and the demand for our products, are at times adversely affected by a number of global and regional factors outside of our control.
Adverse changes in global or regional economic conditions, including recession or slowing growth, changes or uncertainty in fiscal, monetary, or trade policy, higher interest rates, tighter credit, inflation, lower capital expenditures by businesses including on IT infrastructure, increases in unemployment, and lower consumer confidence and spending, periodically occur. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. It is likely that the current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 will cause an economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. Adverse changes in economic conditions, including as a result of the pandemic, can significantly harm demand for our products and make it more challenging to forecast our operating results and make business decisions, including regarding prioritization of investments in our business. An economic downturn or increased uncertainty may also lead to increased credit and collectability risks, higher borrowing costs or reduced availability of capital markets, reduced liquidity, adverse impacts on our suppliers, failures of counterparties including financial institutions and insurers, asset impairments, and declines in the value of our financial instruments.
International trade disputes at times result in increased tariffs, trade barriers, and other protectionist measures that can increase our manufacturing costs, make our products less competitive, reduce demand for our products, limit our ability to sell to certain customers, limit our ability to procure components or raw materials, or impede or slow the movement of our goods across borders. Increasing protectionism and economic nationalism may lead to further changes in trade policy, domestic sourcing initiatives, or other formal and informal measures that could make it more difficult to sell our products in, or restrict our access to, some markets.
Escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China have led to increased tariffs and trade restrictions, including tariffs applicable to some of our products, and have affected customer ordering patterns. The U.S. has imposed restrictions on the export of U.S.-regulated products and technology to certain Chinese technology companies, including certain of our customers. These restrictions have reduced our sales, and continuing or future restrictions could adversely affect our financial results, result in reputational harm to us due to our relationship with such companies, or lead such companies to develop or adopt technologies that compete with our products. It is difficult to predict what further trade-related actions governments may take, which may include additional or increased tariffs and trade restrictions, and we may be unable to quickly and effectively react to such actions. For example, U.S. legislation has expanded the power of the U.S. Department of Commerce to restrict the export of “emerging and foundational technologies” yet to be identified, which could impact our current or future products.
Trade disputes and protectionist measures, or continued uncertainty about such matters, could result in declining consumer confidence and slowing economic growth or recession, and could cause our customers to reduce, cancel, or alter the timing of their purchases with us. Sustained trade tensions could lead to long-term changes in global trade and technology supply chains, which could adversely affect our business and growth prospects.
We can be adversely affected by other global and regional factors that periodically occur, including:
• | geopolitical and security issues, such as armed conflict and civil or military unrest, political instability, human rights concerns, and terrorist activity, including, for example, geopolitical tensions and conflict affecting Israel, where our Mobileye business headquarters and certain of our fabrication facilities are located; |
• | natural disasters, public health issues (including the COVID-19 pandemic discussed further in the risk factor “The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations,” above), and other catastrophic events; |
• | inefficient infrastructure and other disruptions, such as supply chain interruptions and large-scale outages or unreliable provision of services from utilities, transportation, data hosting, or telecommunications providers; |
• | formal or informal imposition of new or revised export, import, or doing-business regulations, including trade sanctions, tariffs, and changes in the ability to obtain export licenses, which could be changed without notice; |
• | government restrictions on, or nationalization of, our operations in any country, or restrictions on our ability to repatriate earnings from a particular country; |
• | adverse changes relating to government grants, tax credits, or other government incentives; |
• | differing employment practices and labor issues; |
• | ineffective legal protection of our IP rights in certain countries; |

• | local business and cultural factors that differ from our current standards and practices; |
• | continuing uncertainty regarding social, political, immigration, and tax and trade policies in the U.S. and abroad, including as a result of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union; |
• | fluctuations in the market values of our domestic and international investments, which can be negatively affected by liquidity, credit deterioration or losses, interest rate changes, financial results, political risk, sovereign risk, or other factors; and |
• | uncertainty regarding LIBOR—certain of our interest rate derivatives and investments are based on LIBOR, and a portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on LIBOR: LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform, which may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely after 2021 or to perform differently than in the past, and while we expect that reasonable alternatives to LIBOR will be implemented prior to the 2021 target date, we cannot predict the consequences and timing of these developments, and they could include an increase in our interest expense and/or a reduction in our interest income. |
We are subject to laws and regulations worldwide that differ among jurisdictions, affecting our operations in areas including, but not limited to: IP ownership and infringement; tax; import and export requirements; anti-corruption; foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions; data privacy requirements; competition; advertising; employment; product regulations; environment, health, and safety requirements; and consumer laws. Compliance with such requirements can be onerous and expensive, and may otherwise impact our business operations negatively. For example, unfavorable developments with evolving laws and regulations worldwide related to 5G or autonomous driving technology may limit global adoption, impede our strategy, and negatively impact our long-term expectations for our investments in these areas. Expanding privacy legislation and compliance costs of privacy-related and data protection measures could adversely affect our customers and their products and services, particularly in cloud, Internet of Things, and AI applications, which could in turn reduce demand for our products used for those workloads.
Although we have policies, controls, and procedures designed to help ensure compliance with applicable laws, there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, suppliers, or agents will not violate such laws or our policies. Violations of these laws and regulations can result in fines; criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees; prohibitions on the conduct of our business; and damage to our reputation. The technology industry is subject to intense media, political, and regulatory scrutiny, which can increase our exposure to government investigations, legal actions, and penalties.
Catastrophic events can have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. Our operations and business, and those of our customers and suppliers, can be disrupted by natural disasters; industrial accidents; public health issues (including the COVID-19 pandemic discussed further in the risk factor “The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations,” above); cybersecurity incidents; interruptions of service from utilities, transportation, telecommunications, or IT systems providers; manufacturing equipment failures; or other catastrophic events. For example, we have at times experienced disruptions in our manufacturing processes as a result of power outages, improperly functioning equipment, and disruptions in supply of raw materials or components, including due to cybersecurity incidents affecting our suppliers. Our headquarters and many of our operations and facilities are in locations that are prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters. Global climate change can result in certain natural disasters occurring more frequently or with greater intensity, such as drought, wildfires, storms, sea-level rise, and flooding, and could disrupt the availability of water necessary for the operation of our fabrication facilities located in semi-arid regions. Catastrophic events could make it difficult or impossible to manufacture or deliver products to our customers, receive production materials from our suppliers, or perform critical functions, which could adversely affect our revenue and require significant recovery time and expenditures to resume operations. While we maintain business recovery plans that are intended to enable us to recover from natural disasters or other events that can be disruptive to our business, some of our systems are not fully redundant and we cannot be sure that our plans will fully protect us from all such disruptions. Furthermore, even if our operations are unaffected or recover quickly, if our customers cannot timely resume their own operations due to a catastrophic event, they may reduce or cancel their orders, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
We maintain a program of insurance coverage for a variety of property, casualty, and other risks. The types and amounts of insurance we obtain vary depending on availability, cost, and decisions with respect to risk retention. Some of our policies have large deductibles and broad exclusions. In addition, one or more of our insurance providers may be unable or unwilling to pay a claim. Losses not covered by insurance may be large, which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant portion of our employees are now working from home, while also under shelter-in-place orders or other restrictions. Established business continuity plans were activated in order to mitigate the impact to our control environment, operating procedures, data and internal controls. The design of our processes and controls allow for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.
Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 28, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
We have an ongoing authorization, originally approved by our Board of Directors in 2005 and subsequently amended, to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions. On March 24, 2020, we suspended stock repurchases in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and we have the ability to reinstate repurchases as circumstances warrant. As of March 28, 2020, we were authorized to repurchase up to $110.0 billion, of which $19.7 billion remained available.
Common stock repurchase activity under our publicly announced stock repurchase program during the first quarter of 2020 was as follows:
Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased (In Millions) | Average Price Paid Per Share | Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program (In Millions) | ||||||||
December 29, 2019 - January 25, 2020 | 17.9 | $ | 60.39 | $ | 22,687 | ||||||
January 26, 2020 - February 22, 2020 | 17.2 | $ | 66.27 | $ | 21,547 | ||||||
February 23, 2020 - March 28, 2020 | 36.2 | $ | 52.11 | $ | 19,658 | ||||||
Total | 71.3 |
We issue RSUs as part of our equity incentive plans. In our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we treat shares of common stock withheld for tax purposes on behalf of our employees in connection with the vesting of RSUs as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase program and accordingly are not included in the common stock repurchase totals in the preceding table.
