Intel Reports Second-Quarter 2019 Financial Results
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 26, 2019 -- Intel Corporation today reported second-quarter 2019 financial results.
“Second quarter results exceeded our expectations on both revenue and earnings, as the growth of data and compute-intensive applications are driving customer demand for higher performance products in both our PC-centric and data-centric businesses,” said Bob Swan, Intel CEO. “Based on our outperformance in the quarter, we’re raising our full-year guidance. Intel’s ambitions are as big as ever, our collection of assets is unrivaled, and our transformation continues.”
Q2 2019 Financial Highlights
In the second quarter, the company generated approximately $7.6 billion in cash from operations, paid dividends of $1.4 billion and used $3.0 billion to repurchase 67 million shares of stock.
Business Unit Summary
Second-quarter revenue of $16.5 billion was $900 million higher than April guidance. Intel achieved 1 percent growth in the PC-centric business while data-centric revenue declined 7 percent.
The PC-centric business (CCG) was up 1 percent in the second quarter due to a strong mix of Intel's higher performance products, strength in the commercial segment, and customers buying ahead of possible tariff impacts. New, 10nm-based 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (code-named "Ice Lake") are now shipping, and expected to be in volume systems on retail shelves this 2019 holiday selling season.
Collectively, Intel's data-centric businesses declined 7 percent YoY in the second quarter. In the Data Center Group (DCG), the communications service provider segment grew 3 percent while the cloud segment declined 1 percent and enterprise and government revenue declined 31 percent. The Internet of Things Group (IOTG) achieved record revenue, up 12 percent YoY (23 percent excluding Wind River1) on broad strength and increased demand for higher performance processors. Mobileye achieved second-quarter revenue of $201 million, up 16 percent YoY on continued customer momentum. Intel's memory business (NSG) was down 13 percent YoY in a challenging pricing environment. Intel's Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) revenue was down 5 percent YoY in the second quarter.
