Letter From Your CEO

2016 was a year of tremendous transformation for Intel as we took important, and in some 
cases difficult, steps to accelerate our evolution from a PC company to one that powers the 
cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices. We restructured the company  
while also launching exciting new products, successfully integrating Altera, and investing  
for growth. Our results provide evidence that our strategy is working and delivering strong 
returns to our shareholders.

Intel reported record full-year revenue of $59.4 billion, up 7% from 2015 with the addition of 
Altera and strength across the business. The Data Center Group achieved record revenue and 
volume driven by continuing strong demand from cloud service providers, the ramp of new, 
adjacent products, and big gains in networking. Our Internet of Things Group also achieved 
record revenue and volume with impressive design wins in video, retail, and automotive. And, despite a decline in 
the PC market, the Client Computing Group grew revenue and profitability through strong execution, a robust 
segmentation strategy, a rich mix of Intel® Core™ processors, and volume modem shipments. 

In 2016, we also reshaped the company in several important ways. We successfully integrated Altera (now Intel’s 
Programmable Solutions Group), which grew and delivered new products during integration. We announced plans  
to divest Intel Security and establish it as a separate company in order to increase our focus while participating in 
the new McAfee’s future success. We also initiated an Intel-wide restructuring program, and made several executive 
leadership changes that brought some of the most seasoned technology veterans to Intel. All together, these 
transformative efforts have aligned the company around the greatest opportunities for growth driven by one of  
the most significant changes I’ve seen in business—data.

Data is the lifeblood of every industry working to reinvent itself in the modern age. Companies that use data will 
thrive and grow; companies that don’t will fall behind. This data revolution is a big opportunity for Intel because we 
provide essential technologies for processing, analyzing, storing, and sharing data. Data fuels our virtuous cycle of 
growth. It drives the continuing build-out of the cloud and the transformation of networks, and enables amazing 
new computing experiences like artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, and merged reality. The growth of data 
and new data-intensive markets adds billions to Intel’s total addressable market.

While our business undergoes significant changes to capture these growth opportunities, we are not changing  
Intel’s commitment to operate responsibly and with transparency. We continue our efforts to advance diversity  
and inclusion, environmental sustainability, supply chain responsibility, and social impact. We also continue our 
relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law, which remains foundational to our strategy and our technology leadership.

In 2017, Intel is focused on four priorities: accelerating growth in the data center; keeping the client business healthy 
and strong; extending our growth in the Internet of Things; and flawlessly executing the launch and ramp of our 
memory technologies and programmable solutions. We made excellent progress in 2016. Our work continues with  
a very clear picture of how, as a data company, Intel will drive long-term value for our shareholders.

Brian M. Krzanich, Chief Executive Officer

Letter From Your Chairman

Financial Results

Evaluating whether Intel’s business is properly managed 
for long-term value is one of the primary responsibilities  
of the Board of Directors. In technology companies, 
long-term value comes from continuing innovation.  
The cycle of investment, innovation, and value would not 
be sustainable without profits. Today’s profits finance 
tomorrow’s innovation.

Two measures of success are especially important to me  
as a stockholder and your Chairman. Intel generated cash 
flow from operations in 2016 of $22 billion and return on stockholders’ equity  
of 16%. This caps five years in which cash from operations averaged over $20 
billion and return on stockholders’ equity averaged over 19%. These figures 
indicate the intrinsic health of the business and the value created over time with 
stockholders’ money.

In 2016 the Board continued to work on how best to capture opportunities and 
enhance returns for the owners. The company has made progress in directing 
more resources to growing and emerging businesses and fewer to mature, less 
profitable, or less strategic businesses. Most of the research and development 
spending goes to technical capabilities and intellectual property used by more 
than one business group. These shared investments provide a foundation that is 
an important and productive feature of Intel’s business model.

In considering how and where to deploy capital, the Board begins with a review 
of the business and critical needs. The largest portion of Intel’s 2016 capital 
investment of $9.6 billion was used to build and equip what we expect will be the 
most advanced wafer fabrication facilities in the world, on the forefront of 
Moore’s Law. These manufacturing marvels will rely on process technology that 
allows us to optimize performance, cost, and power consumption across our 
product line.

The Board typically looks at acquisitions as a way of adding capabilities more 
quickly or better than the company could do with internal resources. The Board 
evaluates projected returns as part of the acquisition decision process. Once the 
investments have been made, the Board monitors performance. Most of the 
transactions Intel pursues target specific technologies or expertise. In addition  
to the acquisition of Altera, Intel completed 11 other acquisitions in 2016 for 
total consideration, net of cash acquired, of $1.1 billion, consistent with the 
number of transactions and levels of investment in 2015 and 2014. The Board 
will occasionally consider large transactions, such as Altera, that offer new and 
significant opportunities.

After providing for the needs of the business, the Board considers cash policy 
and return to stockholders. In 2016, Intel paid $4.9 billion in dividends and 
repurchased $2.6 billion in stock, for a total return to stockholders of $7.5 billion. 
Over the last five years, Intel has returned a cumulative total of $54.4 billion to 
stockholders in dividends and stock repurchases.

Culture and continuity are important to success. Behind the results of 2016  
is a strong and resilient culture with talented and dedicated employees. The 
Board is grateful to employees for their sustained focus and execution in a  
time of change. 

Intel’s founders were highly motivated by the knowledge that silicon technology 
could change the way people live. Today, Intel employees continue to share  
that pride. Intel approaches its 50th anniversary in 2018 with optimism about 
the potential for technology and confidence in the business that makes  
innovation possible.

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

PART I

We are a world leader in the design and manufacturing of essential products and technologies that power the cloud and an
increasingly smart, connected world. Intel delivers computer, networking, and communications platforms to a broad set of
customers including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original design manufacturers (ODMs), cloud and
communications service providers, as well as industrial, communications and automotive equipment manufacturers. We are
expanding the boundaries of technology through our relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law and computing breakthroughs that make
amazing experiences possible. We were incorporated in California in 1968 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1989.

Company Strategy

Our vision is if it is smart and connected, it is best with Intel®. As a result, our strategy is to drive a “Virtuous Cycle of Growth” that
enables the expansion of the data center as well as the proliferation of smart, connected things and devices, while continuing to
fuel technology with the economics of Moore’s Law.

People are experiencing a dramatic shift in their relationship to technology as things and devices become increasingly connected
to each other and the cloud, merging the digital and physical worlds. Computing is becoming pervasive everywhere and in
everything. The Virtuous Cycle of Growth leverages Intel’s core assets to power the cloud and drive the increasingly smart and
connected world.

Virtuous Cycle of Growth

Our businesses across the cloud and data center, through things and devices, are accelerated by memory and field-
programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies—all of which are bound together by connectivity and enhanced by the economics
of Moore’s Law. We further transform these technologies to deliver compelling user experiences.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

The Cloud and Data Center. We believe that the most important trend shaping the future of the smart and connected world
is the cloud. We design and optimize our products to deliver industry leading performance and best in class total cost of
ownership for cloud workloads. Intel is adding new products and features to our portfolio to address emerging, high growth
workloads such as artificial intelligence, media, and 5G.

Things and Devices. Things and devices encompass all smart devices, including PCs, sensors, consoles, and other edge
devices that are connected to the cloud. When a “thing” is connected to the cloud, the data it captures can be measured in
real time and accessed virtually from anywhere. We will continue to deliver leadership, performance, and innovation in PCs.
In our Internet of Things business, we focus our investments on areas where we see growth potential, such as the
autonomous vehicle, industrial, and retail market segments.

2

(cid:129) Memory and Programmable Solutions. Advancements in memory technology and programmable solutions, such as FPGAs,
make possible entirely new classes of products for the data center and Internet of Things. The need for faster storage and
greater memory capacity unlocks value in the cloud as the demand to automate and analyze exponential quantities of data
increases. FPGAs can efficiently manage the changing workload demands of next-generation data centers and offer the
flexibility for users to change their workloads real-time. FPGAs are also used in a wide range of other applications, such as
machine learning and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

(cid:129)

Connectivity. As the connectivity technologies continue to evolve, more things and devices are able to connect with each
other and the cloud. The ability to connect, and to derive actionable insights from massive amounts of data brings new
experiences to our daily lives and transforms businesses.

(cid:129) Moore’s Law. Our co-founder Gordon Moore predicted, in what is known as Moore’s Law, that transistor density on

integrated circuits would double about every two years. Intel’s advancement of Moore’s Law has driven significant computing
power growth and increasingly better economics and pricing. We will continue to harness the value of Moore’s Law by
enabling new devices with higher functionality and complexity while controlling power, cost, and size.

Leveraging our core assets enhances our strategy and provides us with the scale, capacity, and global reach to establish new
technologies and respond to customers’ needs quickly. Our core assets include the following:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Silicon and Manufacturing Technology Leadership. We have long been the leader in silicon manufacturing process
technology and we aim to continue our lead through investment and innovation in this critical area. Unlike many other
semiconductor companies, we primarily manufacture our products in our own manufacturing facilities, which enables us to
optimize performance, shorten our time-to-market, and scale new products more rapidly. We believe this competitive
advantage will be extended in the future as the costs to build leading-edge fabrication facilities increase over time.

Architecture and Platforms. We are able to share intellectual property across our platforms and operating segments, which
reduces our costs and provides a higher return on capital in our growth market segments. The combination of our shared
intellectual property portfolio and our interchangeable manufacturing assets allows us to seamlessly shift our production
capabilities to respond to market demand. We continue to invest in improving Intel architecture and product platforms to
deliver increased value to our customers and expand the capabilities of the architecture in adjacent market segments.

Software and Services. We offer software and services that provide solutions through a combination of hardware and
software for consumer and corporate environments and that assist software developers in creating software applications that
take advantage of our platforms.

Customer Orientation. We focus on providing compelling user experiences by developing our next generation of products
based on customer needs and expectations. In turn, our products help enable the design and development of new user
experiences, form factors, and usage models. We offer platforms that incorporate various components and capabilities
designed and configured to work together to provide an optimized solution that customers can easily integrate into their
products.

Acquisitions and Strategic Investments. We invest in companies around the world that we believe will further our strategic
objectives, stimulate growth in the digital economy, create new business opportunities for Intel, and generate financial
returns. Our investments take different forms, including acquisition of companies to further advance our strategic objectives,
which is exemplified by our acquisition of Altera Corporation (Altera) in Q1 2016. Through the Altera acquisition, we are able
to combine programmable solutions with our leading-edge products and manufacturing process to enable new classes of
products for the data center and Internet of Things market segments.

Corporate Responsibility. Throughout our history, Intel has expanded the reach, influence, and power of computing to
improve people’s everyday lives. We set ambitious goals and make strategic investments to drive improvements in
environmental sustainability, supply chain responsibility, diversity and inclusion, and social impact that benefit the
environment and society. We believe that our focus on corporate responsibility—built on a strong foundation of transparency,
governance, and ethics—creates value for Intel and our stockholders by helping us mitigate risks, reduce costs, build brand
value, and identify new market opportunities. To understand our performance and the progress we are making toward our
corporate responsibility goals, refer to “Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability” below and our Corporate Responsibility

Platforms

We offer platforms that incorporate various components and technologies, including a microprocessor and chipset, a stand-alone
System-on-Chip (SoC), or a multichip package. A platform may be enhanced by additional hardware, software, and services
offered by Intel. Platforms are used in various form factors across our CCG, DCG, and IOTG operating segments. We derive a
substantial majority of our revenue from platforms, which is our principal product.

A microprocessor—the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer system—processes system data and controls other devices
in the system. We offer microprocessors with one or multiple processor cores. Multi-core microprocessors can enable improved
multitasking and energy-efficient performance by distributing computing tasks across two or more cores. In addition, many of our
processor families integrate graphics functionality onto the processor die. In 2016, we released our 7th generation Intel® Core™
processor, formerly code-named Kaby Lake as well as Intel® Xeon® processor E5 v4 family, formerly code-named Broadwell.

A chipset sends data between the microprocessor and input, display, and storage devices, such as the keyboard, mouse,
monitor, hard drive or solid-state drive, and optical disc drives. Chipsets extend the audio, video, and other capabilities of many
systems and perform essential logic functions, such as balancing the performance of the system and removing bottlenecks.

We offer and develop SoC and multichip packaging products that integrate our CPUs with other system components, such as
graphics, audio, imaging, communication and connectivity, and video, onto a single product. SoC and multichip packaging
products are designed to reduce total cost of ownership, provide improved performance due to higher integration and lower power
consumption, and enable a variety of our form factors.

Competition

The computing industry continuously evolves with new and enhanced technologies and products from existing and new providers.
The marketplace can change quickly in response to the introduction of such technologies and products and other factors such as
changes in customer and end-user requirements, expectations, and preferences. As technologies evolve and new market
segments emerge, the boundaries between the market segments that we compete in are also subject to change.

Intel faces significant competition in the development and market acceptance of our products in this environment. Our platforms,
based on Intel architecture, are positioned to compete across the compute continuum, from the lowest power and mobile devices
to the most powerful data center servers. These platforms have integrated hardware and software and offer customers benefits
such as ease of use, savings in total cost of ownership, and the ability to scale systems to accommodate increased usage.

Competitors

We compete against other companies that make and sell platforms, other silicon components, and software to businesses that
build and sell computing and communications systems to end users. Our competitors also include companies that sell goods and
services to businesses that use them for their internal and/or customer-facing processes (e.g., businesses running large data
centers). In addition, we face competition from OEMs, ODMs, and other industrial and communications equipment manufacturers
that, to some degree, choose to vertically integrate their own proprietary semiconductor and software assets. By doing so, these
competitors may be attempting to offer greater differentiation in their products and to increase their share of the profits for each
finished product they sell. Continuing changes in industry participants through, for example, acquisitions or business
collaborations could also have a significant impact on our competitive position.

In the PC market segment, we are a leading provider of platforms for traditional desktops and notebooks. We face existing and
emerging competition in these product areas. Tablets, phones, and other mobile devices offered by numerous vendors are
significant competitors to traditional PCs for many usages and considerable blurring of system form factors currently exists in the
marketplace. We are a relatively recent provider of platforms for tablets and phones, and we face strong competition from
vendors that use applications processors based on the ARM* architecture, feature low-power, long battery-life operation, and are
built in SoC formats that integrate numerous functions on one chip.

In the data center market segment, we are a leading provider of data center platforms and face competition from companies using
ARM architecture or other technologies. Internet cloud computing, storage, and networking are areas of significant targeted
growth for us in the data center segment, and we face strong competition in these market segments.

In the Internet of Things market segment, we have a long-standing position as a supplier of components and software for
embedded products. This marketplace continues to expand significantly with increasing types and numbers of smart and
connected devices for industrial, commercial, and consumer uses such as wearables. As this market segment evolves, we face
numerous large and small incumbent processor competitors, as well as new entrants that use ARM architecture and other
operating systems and software. In addition, the Internet of Things requires a broad range of connectivity solutions and we face
competition from companies providing traditional wireless solutions such as cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth, as well as several new
entrants who are taking advantage of new focused communications protocols.

In the memory market segment, we compete against other providers of NAND flash memory products. We focus our efforts
primarily on incorporating NAND flash memory into solution products, such as solid-state drives supporting enterprise and
consumer applications. We believe that our memory offerings, including innovative developments such as Intel® Optane™
technology, complement our product offerings in our other segments.

Our security business operates in highly competitive, fragmented, and rapidly changing market segments. We are a major
provider of cybersecurity products and services to both businesses and consumers. For businesses, we compete with companies
selling individual point security products and companies selling multiple security products. We offer businesses a portfolio of
products that are integrated into a comprehensive security solution. For consumers, we primarily compete against other major
security companies and providers of free security products. Our consumer offerings are designed to protect user data, identity,
and devices across the compute continuum.

7

In the programmable solutions market segment, we are a leading provider of programmable semiconductors and related
products, including FPGAs and SoC FPGAs. We face competition from other programmable logic companies, as well as
companies that make other types of semiconductor products, such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), application-
specific standard products (ASSPs), graphics processing units (GPUs), digital signal processors (DSPs), and CPUs. Targeted
growth areas for our programmable solutions include communications, data center, and automotive applications. The FPGA life
cycle is long, relative to other Intel products—from the time that a design win is secured, it generally takes three or more years
before a customer starts volume production and we receive the associated revenue from such design win.

Our products primarily compete based on performance, energy efficiency, integration, innovative design, features, price, quality,
reliability, brand recognition, technical support, and availability. The importance of these factors varies by the type of end system
for the products. For example, performance might be among the most important factors for our products for data center servers,
while price and integration might be among the most important factors for our products for tablets, phones, and other mobile
devices.

Competitive Advantages

Our key competitive advantages include:

(cid:129) Well-positioned for growth in smart, connected world. We offer solutions across every segment of the smart, connected

world—from the cloud, to the network, to devices—and believe that we are well-positioned for growth through our strategy of
the Virtuous Cycle of Growth. The expansion and proliferation of the cloud and data center, Internet of Things, memory, and
FPGAs—all of which are connected—help grow our business. As more devices connect to the cloud, we have increased
opportunities for growth.

(cid:129)

Transitions to next-generation technologies. We have a market lead in transitioning to the next-generation process
technology and bringing products to market using such technology. Our products utilizing our 14-nanometer (nm) process
technology are in the market and we are continuing to work on the development of our next-generation 10nm process
technology. We believe that these advancements will offer significant improvements in one or more of the following areas:
performance, new features, energy efficiency, and cost.

Combination of our network of manufacturing and assembly and test facilities with our global architecture design teams. We
have made significant capital and research and development (R&D) investments into our integrated manufacturing network,
which enables us to have more direct control over our design, development, and manufacturing processes; quality control;
product cost; production timing; performance; power consumption; and manufacturing yield. The increased cost of
constructing new fabrication facilities to support smaller transistor geometries and larger wafers has led to a reduced number
of companies that can build and equip leading-edge manufacturing facilities. Most of our competitors rely on third-party
foundries and subcontractors for manufacturing and assembly and test needs. We provide foundry services as an alternative
to such foundries.

Manufacturing and Assembly and Test

In 2016, the majority of our wafer manufacturing was conducted within the U.S. Manufacturing conducted within and outside the
U.S. may be impacted by the timing of a facility’s transition to a newer process technology, as well as a facility’s capacity
utilization.

We manufacture our products in facilities at the following locations:

Oregon, 14nm, 22nm

Chengdu, China

Intel Worldwide
Headquarters
Santa Clara, California

Arizona, 14nm, 22nm
New Mexico, 32nm, 45nm

Vietnam

Israel, 22nm

Malaysia

As of December 31, 2016, our microprocessors were manufactured on 300mm wafers, with a substantial majority manufactured
using our 14nm and 22nm process technologies. We continue to develop new generations of manufacturing process technology
and realize the benefits which enable silicon designs with less space per transistor, reduced heat output from each transistor, and
increased number of integrated features on each chip. These advancements make possible innovations of new products with
higher functionality while controlling power, cost, and size. We incur factory start-up costs as we ramp our facilities for a new
process technology. In 2017, we announced plans to complete our Arizona facility which is targeted for 7nm process technology.

We use third-party foundries to manufacture wafers for certain components, including communications, connectivity, networking,
FPGA, and memory products. In addition, we primarily use subcontractors to manufacture board-level products and systems. We
purchase certain communications and connectivity products from external vendors primarily in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition
to the assembly and test facilities presented on the map, we use subcontractors to augment capacity to perform assembly and
test of certain products, primarily chipsets and communications, FPGAs, connectivity, and memory products.

We utilize a multi-source strategy for our memory business to enable a robust and flexible supply chain. In 2016, we began
ramping our facility in Dalian, China to produce leading-edge non-volatile memory. This expansion enables us to maintain a cost-
effective strategy to best serve our customers in 3D NAND. In addition to our strategic investments to manufacture memory
internally, we have a supplemental supply agreement with Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron), as well as capacity from the joint
venture, IM Flash Technologies, LLC (IMFT) factory in Lehi, Utah. For further information on IMFT, see “Note 9: Investments” in
Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Our employment and operating practices are consistent with, and we expect our suppliers and subcontractors to abide by, local
country law. Intel expects all suppliers to comply with the Intel Code of Conduct and the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition
(EICC) Code of Conduct, both of which set standards that address the rights of workers to safe and healthy working conditions,
environmental responsibility, compliance with privacy and data security obligations, and compliance with applicable laws. For
more information about supply-chain responsibility, refer to “Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability” below and our Corporate
Responsibility Report available on Intel’s website.

We have thousands of suppliers, including subcontractors, fulfilling our various materials, equipment, and service needs. We set
expectations for supplier performance and reinforce those expectations with periodic assessments and audits. We regularly
communicate those expectations and work with our suppliers to implement improvements when necessary. Where possible, we
seek to have several sources of supply for all materials and resources. However, we may rely on a single or limited number of
suppliers, or upon suppliers in a single country. In those cases, we develop and implement plans and actions to reduce the
exposure that would result from a disruption in supply. We have entered into long-term contracts with certain suppliers to help
ensure a stable supply of silicon and semiconductor manufacturing tools.

9

Our products are typically manufactured at multiple Intel facilities around the world or by subcontractors. However, some products
are manufactured in only one Intel or subcontractor facility, and we seek to reduce the exposure that would result from a
disruption at any such facility.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we had 106,000 employees worldwide, with approximately 50% of those employees located in the U.S.

Research and Development

We are committed to investing in world-class technology development, particularly in the design and manufacture of integrated
circuits. R&D expenditures were $12.7 billion in 2016 ($12.1 billion in 2015 and $11.5 billion in 2014).

Our R&D activities are directed toward the delivery of solutions consisting of hardware and software platforms and supporting
services across a wide range of computing devices. We are focused on developing the technology innovations that we believe will
deliver our next generation of products, which will in turn enable new form factors and usage models for businesses and
consumers. We focus our R&D efforts on advanced computing technologies, developing new microarchitectures, advancing our
silicon manufacturing process technology, delivering the next generation of platforms, improving our platform initiatives,
developing new solutions in emerging technologies (including memory and the Internet of Things), and developing software
solutions and tools. Our R&D efforts are intended to enable new levels of performance and address areas such as energy
efficiency, system-level integration, security, scalability for multi-core architectures, system manageability, and ease of use.

As part of our R&D efforts, we plan to introduce new microarchitectures for our various products on a regular cadence. We expect
to lengthen the amount of time we will utilize our 14nm and our next-generation 10nm process technologies with multiple waves
of product offerings, further optimizing our technologies while meeting the yearly market cadence for product introductions.

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

PROCESS

ARCHITECTURE OPTIMIZATION

Advances in our silicon technology have enabled us to continue making Moore’s Law a reality. In 2014, we began manufacturing
our 5th generation Intel Core processor family using our 14 nm process technology. In 2015, we released a new microarchitecture
(our 6th generation Intel Core processor family), using our 14nm process technology. We enhanced the 14nm process on our 7th
generation Intel Core processor family in 2016 and plan to further optimize our technologies with the upcoming 8th generation
Intel Core processor family in 2017. We continue to make progress on developing our next-generation 10nm manufacturing
process technology.

We have continued expanding on the advances anticipated by Moore’s Law by bringing new capabilities into silicon and
producing new products optimized for a wider variety of applications. We expect that these advances will result in a significant
reduction in transistor leakage, lower active power, and an increase in transistor density. These advances in our process
technologies will enable new classes of products, from smart and connected things and devices to high performance systems that
power data centers. For instance, we offer the Intel® Atom™ processor-based Intel® Joule™ compute module, a high-
performance system-on-module designed to enable developers and entrepreneurs to go from concept to prototype to production
in less time and at lower cost than with traditional system development.

With our continued focus on silicon and manufacturing technology leadership, we entered into a series of agreements with ASML
Holding N.V. (ASML) in 2012, certain of which were amended in 2014 to further define the commercial terms between the parties.
These amended agreements, in which Intel agreed to provide R&D funding over five years, are intended to accelerate the
development of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography projects and deep ultraviolet immersion lithography projects, including
generic developments applicable to both 300mm and 450mm.

10

Our R&D activities include initiatives that further enhance our platform solutions, for example:
(cid:129)

The development of multi-mode LTE* and 5G technology, which brings connectivity capability to smart and connected
devices and will power the 5G network infrastructure;

(cid:129) Memory technology innovation with 3D XPoint™ and 3D NAND technologies, which enables higher density and high

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

performance storage and system memory solutions;
Integration of FPGA technology, which enables new classes of products for the data center and Internet of Things market
segments; and
Other initiatives, such as leading-edge foundry platforms, ecosystem partner development, graphics, and high-performance
computing.

Our R&D model is based on a global organization that emphasizes a collaborative approach to identifying and developing new
technologies, leading standards initiatives, and influencing regulatory policies to accelerate the adoption of new technologies,
including joint pathfinding conducted between researchers at Intel Labs and our business groups. We centrally manage key
cross-business group product initiatives to align and prioritize our R&D activities across these groups. In addition, we may
augment our R&D activities by investing in companies or entering into agreements with companies that have similar R&D focus
areas, as well as directly purchasing or licensing technology applicable to our R&D initiatives. To drive innovation and gain
efficiencies, we intend to utilize our investments in intellectual property and R&D across our market segments.

Sales and Marketing

Customers

We sell our products primarily to OEMs and ODMs. ODMs provide design and manufacturing services to branded and unbranded
private-label resellers. In addition, our customers include other manufacturers and service providers, such as industrial and
communication equipment manufacturers and cloud service providers, who buy our products through distributor, reseller, retail,
and OEM channels throughout the world. For more information about our customers, including customers who accounted for
greater than 10% of our net consolidated revenue, see “Note 4: Operating Segments and Geographic Information” in Part II, Item
8 of this Form 10-K.

Our worldwide reseller sales channel consists of thousands of indirect customers—systems builders that purchase Intel®
processors and other products from our distributors. We have a program that allows distributors to sell our microprocessors and
other products in small quantities to customers of systems builders. Our microprocessors and other products are also available in
direct retail outlets.

Sales Arrangements

Our products are sold through sales offices throughout the world. Sales of our products are frequently made via purchase order
acknowledgments that contain standard terms and conditions covering matters such as pricing, payment terms, and warranties,
as well as indemnities for issues specific to our products, such as patent and copyright indemnities. From time to time, we may
enter into additional agreements with customers covering, for example, changes from our standard terms and conditions, new
product development and marketing, private-label branding, and other matters. Our sales are routinely made using electronic and
web-based processes that allow the customer to review inventory availability and track the progress of specific goods ordered.
Pricing on particular products may vary based on volumes ordered and other factors. We also offer discounts, rebates, and other
incentives to customers to increase acceptance of our products and technology.

Our products are generally shipped under terms that transfer title to the customer, even in arrangements for which the recognition
of revenue and related cost of sales is deferred. Our standard terms and conditions of sale typically provide that payment is due
at a later date, usually 30 days after shipment or delivery. We assess credit risk through quantitative and qualitative analysis.
From this analysis, we establish shipping and credit limits, and determine whether we will seek to use one or more credit support
protection devices, such as obtaining a parent guarantee, standby letter of credit, or credit insurance. Credit losses may still be
incurred due to bankruptcy, fraud, or other failure of the customer to pay.

Our sales to distributors are typically made under agreements allowing for price protection on unsold merchandise and a right of
return on stipulated quantities of unsold merchandise. Under the price protection program, we give distributors credits for the
difference between the original price paid and the current price that we offer. Our products typically have no contractual limit on
the amount of price protection, nor is there a limit on the time horizon under which price protection is granted. The right of return
granted generally consists of a stock rotation program in which distributors are able to exchange certain products based on the
number of qualified purchases made by the distributor.

11

Distribution

Distributors typically handle a wide variety of products, including those that compete with our products, and fill orders for many
customers. Customers may place orders directly with us or through distributors. We have several distribution warehouses that are
located in proximity to key customers.

Backlog

Over time, our larger customers have generally moved to lean-inventory or just-in-time operations rather than maintaining larger
inventories of our products. As our customers continue to lower their inventories, our processes to fulfill their orders have evolved
to meet their needs. As a result, our manufacturing production is based on estimates and advance non-binding commitments from
customers as to future purchases. Our order backlog as of any particular date is a mix of these commitments and specific firm
orders that are primarily made pursuant to standard purchase orders for delivery of products. Only a small portion of our orders
are non-cancelable, and the dollar amount associated with the non-cancelable portion is not significant.

Seasonal Trends

Historically, our net revenue has typically been higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year, accelerating
in the third quarter and peaking in the fourth quarter.

Marketing

Our global marketing objectives are to build a strong, well-known Intel corporate brand that connects with businesses and
consumers, and to offer a limited number of meaningful and valuable brands in our portfolio to aid businesses and consumers in
making informed choices about technology purchases. The Intel Core processor family and the Intel® Quark™, Intel® Atom™,
Intel® Celeron®, Intel® Pentium®, Intel® Xeon®, Intel® Xeon Phi™, and Intel® Itanium® trademarks make up our processor
brands.

We promote brand awareness and preference, and generate demand through our own direct marketing as well as through
co-marketing programs. Our direct marketing activities primarily include advertising through digital and social media and
television, as well as consumer and trade events, industry and consumer communications, and press relations. We market to
consumer and business audiences, and focus on building awareness and generating demand for new form factors such as
all-in-one devices and 2 in 1 systems powered by Intel. Our key messaging focuses on increased performance, improved energy
efficiency, and other capabilities such as connectivity and communications.

Purchases by customers often allow them to participate in cooperative advertising and marketing programs such as the Intel
Inside® program. This program broadens the reach of our brands beyond the scope of our own direct marketing. Through the
Intel Inside program, certain customers are licensed to place Intel® logos on computing devices containing our microprocessors
and processor technologies, and to use our brands in their marketing activities. The program includes a market development
component that accrues funds based on purchases and partially reimburses customers for marketing activities for products
featuring Intel® brands, subject to customers meeting defined criteria. These marketing activities primarily include advertising
through digital and social media and television, as well as press relations. We have also entered into joint marketing
arrangements with certain customers.

Intellectual Property Rights and Licensing

Intel owns significant intellectual property (IP) and related IP rights around the world that relate to our products, services, R&D,
and other activities and assets. Our IP portfolio includes patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, trade dress rights, and
maskwork rights. We actively seek to protect our global IP rights and to deter unauthorized use of our IP and other assets. Such
efforts can be difficult, however, particularly in countries that provide less protection to IP rights and in the absence of harmonized
international IP standards. While our IP rights are important to our success, our business as a whole is not significantly dependent
on any single patent, copyright, or other IP right.

We have obtained patents in the U.S. and other countries. Because of the fast pace of innovation and product development, and
the comparative pace of governments’ patenting processes, our products are often obsolete before the patents related to them
expire; in some cases, our products may be obsolete before the patents related to them are granted. As we expand our products
into new industries, we also seek to extend our patent development efforts to patent such products. In addition to developing
patents based on our own R&D efforts, we purchase patents from third parties to supplement our patent portfolio. Established
competitors in existing and new industries, as well as companies that purchase and enforce patents and other IP, may already
have patents covering similar products. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain patents covering our own products, or
that we will be able to obtain licenses from other companies on favorable terms or at all.

12

The software that we distribute, including software embedded in our component-level and platform products, is entitled to
copyright and other IP protection. To distinguish our products from our competitors’ products, we have obtained trademarks and
trade names for our products, and we maintain cooperative advertising programs with customers to promote our brands and to
identify products containing genuine Intel components. We also protect details about our processes, products, and strategies as
trade secrets, keeping confidential the information that we believe provides us with a competitive advantage.

Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability

We have a long history of leadership in corporate responsibility and set ambitious goals and drive improvements in key focus
areas of environmental sustainability, supply chain responsibility, diversity and inclusion, and social impact.

We are committed to environmental sustainability and take a leadership position in promoting voluntary environmental initiatives
by working proactively with governments, environmental groups, and industry. To minimize the environmental impact of our global
manufacturing operations, we invest in conservation projects and set company-wide environmental targets, seeking to drive
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water use, and waste generation. For the past nine years, we have been
the largest voluntary corporate purchaser of green power in the U.S. according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
helping to stimulate the market for green power and reduce energy costs. We seek to reduce the environmental impact of our
products through product ecology and e-waste initiatives and by designing products with improved energy-efficient performance,
which helps us meet customer needs and identify market expansion opportunities. We believe that technology will be
fundamental to finding solutions to the world’s environmental challenges, and we are joining forces with others to find and
promote ways that technology can be used as a tool to address climate change and water conservation.

We are committed to advancing supply chain responsibility, as we believe this creates value by reducing risk, improving product
quality, and raising the overall performance of our suppliers. Our efforts are designed to protect vulnerable workers throughout
the global supply chain and include setting clear supplier expectations, investing in assessments, audits, and capability-building
programs, and collectively addressing issues through our leadership in the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC). We
have also led the industry on the conflict minerals issue and have worked extensively since 2008 to put in place processes and
systems to develop ethical sourcing of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold for Intel and to prevent profits from the sale of those
minerals from funding conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries. Since 2013, we have
manufactured microprocessors that are DRC conflict-free for tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold. We continue our work to establish
responsible mineral supply chains for our company as well as our industry.

Diversity and inclusion are integral parts of our corporate strategy and vision. We believe that investing in training, diversity,
benefits programs, and education helps us to attract and retain a talented workforce. In 2015, Intel set a goal to achieve full
representation of women and underrepresented minorities in our U.S. workforce by 2020, reflecting talent available in the
marketplace. We plan to spend $300 million to support this goal and accelerate diversity and inclusion—not just at Intel, but
across the technology industry at large.

We and the Intel Foundation, a charitable organization, advance social impact initiatives and collaborative engagements to
empower the next generation of innovators and expand economic opportunity for young people around the world through
programs that increase access to technology skills and provide hands-on innovation experiences. Our social impact initiatives
build trust with key stakeholders, support our long-term talent and diversity objectives, and support expansion of future market
opportunities.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and the
trading price of our common stock could decline. 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. Refer also to the other information set forth in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” and our financial statements and the related notes.

Changes in product demand can adversely affect our financial results.

Demand for our products is variable and hard to predict. Changes in the demand for our products may reduce our revenue,
increase our costs, lower our gross margin percentage, or require us to write down the value of our assets. Our platform products
are used across different market segments, and demand for our platforms may vary within or among our client computing, data
center, Internet of Things, and other market segments. It is difficult to anticipate the impact of these changes, as demand may
increase in one or more market segments while decreasing in others. Important factors that could lead to variation in the demand
for our products include changes in:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

business conditions, including downturns in the computing industry, or in the global or regional economies;
consumer confidence or income levels caused by changes in market conditions, including changes in government borrowing,
taxation, or spending policies; the credit market; or expected inflation, employment, and energy or other commodity prices;
the level of our customers’ inventories;
competitive and pricing pressures, including actions taken by competitors;
customer product needs;

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129) market acceptance and industry support of our new and maturing products; and
(cid:129)

the technology supply chain, including supply constraints caused by natural disasters or other events.

15

We face significant competition. The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological and
market developments, changes in industry standards, changes in customer needs, and frequent product introductions and
improvements. If we do not anticipate and respond to these developments, our competitive position may weaken, and our
products or technologies might be uncompetitive or obsolete. Additionally, a number of business combinations, including mergers,
asset acquisitions and strategic partnerships, in the semiconductor industry have occurred over the last several years, and more
could occur in the future. Consolidation in the industry could lead to fewer customers, partners or suppliers, any of which could
negatively affect our financial results.

In recent years, our business focus has expanded and now includes the design and production of platforms and other products
for the data center, Internet of Things, and memory market segments, including FPGA products, connectivity products, and a
number of other products and services for a wide range of connected devices. As a result, we face new sources of competition,
including, in certain of these market segments, from incumbent competitors with established customer bases and greater brand
recognition. To be successful, we need to cultivate new industry relationships with customers and partners in these market
segments. In addition, we must continually improve the cost, integration, and energy efficiency of our products, as well as expand
our software capabilities to provide customers with comprehensive computing solutions. Despite our ongoing efforts, there is no
guarantee that we will achieve or maintain consumer and market demand or acceptance for our products and services in these
various market segments.

To compete successfully, we must maintain a successful R&D effort, develop new products and production processes, and improve
our existing products and processes ahead of competitors. For example, we invest substantially in our network of manufacturing and
assembly and test facilities, including the construction of new fabrication facilities to support smaller transistor geometries and larger
wafers. Our R&D efforts are critical to our success and are aimed at solving complex problems, and we do not expect all of our
projects to be successful. We may be unable to develop and market new products successfully, and the products we invest in and
develop may not be well-received by customers. Our R&D investments may not generate significant operating income or contribute
to our future operating results for several years, and such contributions may not meet our expectations or even cover the costs of
such investments. Additionally, the products and technologies offered by others may affect demand for, or pricing of, our products.

If we are not able to compete effectively, our financial results will be adversely affected, including increased costs and reduced
revenue and gross margin, and we may be required to accelerate the write-down of the value of certain assets.

Changes in the mix of products sold may harm our financial results. Our pricing and margins vary across our products and market
segments due to differences in product features or manufacturing costs. For example, our platform product offerings range from
lower-priced and entry-level platforms, such as those based on Intel Quark or Intel Atom processors, to higher-end platforms based
on Intel Xeon processors. If demand shifts from our higher-priced to lower-priced platforms in any of our market segments, our gross
margin and revenue would decrease. In addition, when products are introduced, they tend to have higher costs because of initial
development costs and lower production volumes relative to the previous product generation, which can impact gross margin.

We operate globally and are subject to significant risks in many jurisdictions.

Global or regional conditions may 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 may be 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 31, 2016.
As a result, our operations and our financial results, including our ability to manufacture, assemble and test, design, develop, or
sell products, may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control, including:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

global and local economic conditions;
geopolitical and security issues, such as armed conflict and civil or military unrest, crime, political instability, human rights
concerns, and terrorist activity;
natural disasters, public health issues, 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;
government restrictions on, or nationalization of our operations in any country, or restrictions on our ability to repatriate
earnings from a particular country;
differing employment practices and labor issues;
formal or informal imposition of new or revised export and/or import and doing-business regulations, including trade sanctions
and tariffs, which could be changed without notice;
ineffective legal protection of our IP rights in certain countries;
local business and cultural factors that differ from our normal standards and practices; and
increased uncertainty regarding social, political, immigration and trade policies in the U.S. and abroad, such as recent U.S.
legislation and policies and the United Kingdom’s referendum to withdraw from the European Union (“Brexit”).

We are subject to laws and regulations worldwide, which may 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; anti-competition; advertising; employment; product regulations;
environment, health, and safety requirements; and consumer laws. Compliance with such requirements may be onerous and
expensive, and may otherwise impact our business operations negatively. 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,
and/or agents will not violate such laws or our policies. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines; criminal
sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees; prohibitions on the conduct of our business; and damage to our reputation.

We may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We are potentially exposed to adverse as well as beneficial
movements in currency exchange rates. Although most of our sales occur in U.S. dollars, expenses may be paid in local
currencies. An increase in the value of the dollar could increase the real cost to our customers of our products in those markets
outside the U.S. where we sell in dollars, and a weakened dollar could increase the cost of expenses such as payroll, utilities, tax,
and marketing expenses, as well as overseas capital expenditures. We also conduct certain investing and financing activities in
local currencies. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements;
therefore, changes in exchange rates could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

Catastrophic events or geopolitical conditions could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. Our
operations or systems could be disrupted by natural disasters; industrial accidents; geopolitical conditions; terrorist activity; public
health issues; cybersecurity incidents; interruptions of service from utilities, transportation, or telecommunications providers; or
other catastrophic events. Such 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.

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.

We are vulnerable to product and manufacturing-related risks.

Due to the variability in demand for our products and the complexity of our manufacturing operations, we may be unable to timely
respond to fluctuations in demand. Our operations have high costs that are either fixed or difficult to reduce in the short term,
including our costs related to manufacturing, such as facility construction and equipment, R&D, and the employment and training
of a highly skilled workforce. If product demand decreases or we fail to forecast demand accurately, we could be required to write
off inventory or record excess capacity charges, which would lower our gross margin. Our manufacturing or assembly and test
capacity could be underutilized, and we may be required to write down our long-lived assets, which would increase our expenses.
Factory-planning decisions may shorten the useful lives of facilities and equipment and cause us to accelerate depreciation.

Conversely, if product demand increases, we may be unable to add capacity fast enough to meet market demand. Our revenue
and gross margin can also be affected by the timing of our product introductions and related expenses, including marketing
expenses.

We are subject to risks associated with the development and implementation of new manufacturing process technology. We may
not be successful or efficient in developing or implementing new production processes. Production of integrated circuits is a
complex process. We are continually engaged in the transition from our existing process to the next-generation process
technology. This consistent innovation involves significant expense and carries inherent risks, including difficulties in designing
and developing next-generation process technologies, development and production timing delays, lower than anticipated
manufacturing yields, and product defects and errata. Disruptions in the production process can also result from errors, defects in
materials, delays in obtaining or revising operating permits and licenses, interruption in our supply of materials or resources, and
disruptions at our fabrication and assembly and test facilities due to accidents, maintenance issues, or unsafe working
conditions—all of which could affect the timing of production ramps and yields. Production issues can lead to increased costs and
may affect our ability to meet product demand, which could adversely impact our business and the results from operations.

17

We face supply chain risks. Thousands of suppliers provide materials and equipment that we use in production and other
aspects of our business. Where possible, we seek to have several sources of supply for all of those materials. However, for
certain materials, we may rely on a single or a limited number of suppliers, or upon suppliers in a single location. In addition,
consolidation among suppliers could impact the nature, quality, availability, and pricing of the products and services available to
us. The inability of suppliers to deliver adequate supplies of production materials or other supplies could disrupt our production
processes or make it more difficult for us to implement our business strategy. Production could be disrupted by the unavailability
of resources used in production, such as water, silicon, electricity, gases, and other materials. The unavailability or reduced
availability of materials or resources may require us to reduce production or incur additional costs, which could harm our business
and results of operations. Our manufacturing operations and ability to meet product demand may also be impacted by IP or other
litigation between our suppliers, where an injunction against Intel or a supplier could interrupt the availability of goods or services
supplied to Intel by others.

We also rely on third-party providers to manufacture and assemble and test certain components or products, particularly those
related to networking, mobile and communications, programmable semiconductor solutions, and NAND flash memory. If any of
these third parties are unable to perform these services on a timely or cost-effective basis, we may encounter supply delays or
disruptions that could adversely affect our financial results.

In addition, there are regulatory and other requirements, restrictions, and requests from various constituencies regarding sourcing
practices and supplier conduct, with a trend toward expanding the scope of materials and locations where materials originate,
regulating supplier behaviors, and increasing the required disclosures regarding such matters by public companies. Increased
regulation and public pressure in this area would cause our compliance costs to increase and could negatively affect our
reputation given that we use many materials in the manufacturing of our products and rely on many suppliers to provide these
materials, but do not directly control their procurement or employment practices.

We are subject to the risks of product defects, errata or other product issues. Product defects and errata (deviations from
published specifications) may result from problems in our product design or our manufacturing and assembly and test processes.
Components and products we purchase or license from third-party suppliers, or attain through acquisitions, may also contain
defects. We could face risks if products that we design, manufacture or sell, or that include our technology, cause personal injury
or property damage, even where the cause is unrelated to product defects or errata. These risks may increase as our products
are introduced into new devices, markets, technologies, or applications through the Internet of Things, including wearables,
drones and transportation, and industrial and consumer uses. Costs from defects, errata, or other product issues could include:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

writing off some or all of the value of inventory;
recalling products that have been shipped;
providing product replacements or modifications;
reimbursing customers for certain costs they incur;
defending against litigation and/or paying resulting damages; and
paying fines imposed by regulatory agencies.

These costs could be large and may increase expenses and lower gross margin, and result in delay or loss of revenue. Any
product defects, errata, or other issues could also damage our reputation, negatively affect product demand, delay product
releases, or result in legal liability. The announcement of product defects or errata could cause customers to purchase products
from competitors as a result of possible shortages of our components or for other reasons. Any of these occurrences could harm
our business and financial results. In addition, although we maintain liability insurance, our coverage has certain exclusions and/
or may not adequately cover liabilities incurred. Our insurance providers may be unable or unwilling to pay a claim, and losses not
covered by insurance could be large, which could harm our financial condition.

We are subject to risks associated with environmental laws and regulations. The manufacturing and assembly and test of our
products require the use of hazardous materials that are subject to a broad array of environmental, health, and safety laws and
regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws or regulations could result in:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

regulatory penalties, fines, and legal liabilities;
suspension of production;
alteration of our manufacturing and assembly and test processes;
reputational challenges; and
restrictions on our operations or sales.

18

Our failure to manage the use, transportation, emissions, discharge, storage, recycling, or disposal of hazardous materials could
lead to increased costs or future liabilities. Our ability to expand or modify our manufacturing capability in the future may be
impeded by environmental regulations, such as air quality and wastewater requirements. Environmental laws and regulations
could also require us to acquire pollution abatement or remediation equipment, modify product designs, or incur other expenses.
Many new materials that we are evaluating for use in our operations may be subject to regulation under environmental laws and
regulations. These restrictions could harm our business and results of operations by increasing our expenses or requiring us to
alter manufacturing and assembly and test processes.

Climate change may also pose regulatory and environmental risks that could harm our results of operations and affect the way we
conduct business. For example, climate change regulation could result in increased manufacturing costs associated with air
pollution control requirements, and increased or new monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. We
also see the potential for higher energy costs driven by climate change regulations if, for example, utility companies pass on their
costs to their customers. Furthermore, many of our operations are located in semi-arid regions that may become increasingly
vulnerable to prolonged droughts due to climate change. Our fabrication facilities require significant water use and, while we
recycle and reuse a portion of the water used, we may have difficulties obtaining sufficient water to fulfill our operational needs
due the lack of available infrastructure.

We are subject to IP risks and risks associated with litigation and regulatory proceedings.

We may be unable to enforce or protect our IP rights. We regard our patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and other IP rights as
important to the success of our business. We rely on IP law as well as confidentiality and licensing agreements with our
customers, employees, technology development partners, and others to protect our IP rights. Our ability to enforce these rights is
subject to general litigation risks, as well as uncertainty as to the enforceability of our IP rights in various countries. When we seek
to enforce our rights, we may be subject to claims that the IP rights are invalid, not enforceable, or licensed to the opposing party.
Our assertion of IP rights may result in the other party seeking to assert claims against us, which could harm our business.
Governments may adopt regulations—and governments or courts may render decisions—requiring compulsory licensing of IP
rights, or governments may require products to meet standards that serve to favor local companies. Our inability to enforce our IP
rights under any of these circumstances may harm our competitive position and business. In addition, the theft or unauthorized
use or publication of our trade secrets and other confidential business information could harm our competitive position and reduce
acceptance of our products; as a result, the value of our investment in R&D, product development, and marketing could be
reduced.

Our licenses with other companies and participation in industry initiatives may allow competitors to use our patent rights. Companies
in our industry often bilaterally license patents between each other to settle disputes or as part of business agreements. Our
competitors may have licenses to our patents, and under current case law, some of the licenses may exhaust our patent rights as to
licensed product sales under some circumstances. Our participation in industry standards organizations or with other industry
initiatives may require us to license our patents to companies that adopt industry-standard specifications. Depending on the rules of
the organization, we might have to grant these licenses to our patents for little or no cost, and as a result, we may be unable to
enforce certain patents against others, our costs of enforcing our licenses or protecting our patents may increase, and the value of
our IP rights may be impaired.

Third parties may assert claims based on IP rights against us or our products, which could harm our business. We may face
claims based on IP rights from individuals and companies, including those who have acquired patent portfolios to assert claims
against other companies. We are normally engaged in a number of litigation matters involving IP rights. Claims that our products
or processes infringe the IP rights of others, whether or not meritorious, could cause us to incur large costs to respond to, defend,
and resolve, and they may divert the efforts and attention of management and technical personnel. In addition, we may face
claims based on the theft or unauthorized use or disclosure of third-party trade secrets and other confidential business
information or end-user data that we obtain in conducting our business. Any such incidents and claims could severely disrupt our
business, and we could suffer losses, including the cost of product recalls and returns, and reputational harm. Furthermore, we
have agreed to indemnify customers for certain IP rights claims against them. As a result of IP rights claims, we could:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

pay monetary damages, including payments to satisfy indemnification obligations;
stop manufacturing, using, selling, offering to sell, or importing products or technology subject to claims;
develop other products or technology not subject to claims, which could be time-consuming or costly; and/or
enter into settlement and license agreements, which agreements may not be available on commercially reasonable terms.

These IP rights claims could harm our competitive position, result in expenses, or require us to impair our assets. If we alter or
stop production of affected items, our revenue could be harmed.

19

We rely on access to third-party IP, which may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Many of our
products include third-party IP and/or implement industry standards, which may require licenses from third parties. Based on past
experience and industry practice, we believe such licenses generally can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
However, there is no assurance that the necessary licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain the
right to use third-party IP, or to use such IP on commercially reasonable terms, could preclude us from selling certain products or
otherwise have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to the risks associated with litigation and regulatory proceedings. We may face legal claims or regulatory matters
involving stockholder, consumer, competition, and other issues on a global basis. As described in “Note 20: Commitments and
Contingencies” in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, we are engaged in a number of litigation and regulatory matters. Litigation and
regulatory proceedings are inherently uncertain, and adverse rulings could occur, including monetary damages, or an injunction
stopping us from manufacturing or selling certain products, engaging in certain business practices, or requiring other remedies,
such as compulsory licensing of patents. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business,
results of operations, financial position, and overall trends. In addition, regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly, time-
consuming, disruptive to our operations, and distracting to management.

We must attract, retain, and motivate key employees.

To be competitive, we must attract, retain, and motivate executives and other key employees. Hiring and retaining qualified
executives, scientists, engineers, technical staff, and sales representatives are critical to our business, and competition for
experienced employees can be intense. To help attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees, we use share-based and other
performance-based incentive awards such as restricted stock units (RSUs) and cash bonuses. Also key to our employee hiring
and retention is our ability to build and maintain an inclusive business culture and be viewed as an employer of choice. If our
share-based or other compensation programs and workplace culture cease to be viewed as competitive, our ability to attract,
retain, and motivate employees could be weakened, which could harm our results of operations.

We are subject to cybersecurity and privacy risks.

Third parties attempt to gain unauthorized access to our network, products, services, and infrastructure. We regularly face
attempts by others to gain unauthorized access through the Internet or to introduce malicious software to our information
technology (IT) systems. Additionally, malicious hackers may attempt to gain unauthorized access and corrupt the processes of
hardware and software products that we manufacture and services we provide. Due to the widespread use of our products and
the high profile of our commercial security products, we or our products and services are a frequent target of computer hackers
and organizations that intend to sabotage, take control of, or otherwise corrupt our manufacturing or other processes, products,
and services. We are also a target of malicious attackers who attempt to gain access to our network or data centers or those of
our customers or end users; steal proprietary information related to our business, products, employees, and customers; or
interrupt our systems and services or those of our customers or others. We believe such attempts are increasing in number and in
technical sophistication. From time to time, we encounter intrusions or unauthorized access to our network, products, services, or
infrastructure. To date, none have resulted in any material adverse impact to our business or operations. In some instances, we,
our customers, and the users of our products and services might be unaware of an incident or its magnitude and effects. While
we seek to detect and investigate all unauthorized attempts and attacks against our network, products, and services, and to
prevent their recurrence where practicable through changes to our internal processes and tools and/or changes or patches to our
products and services, we remain potentially vulnerable to additional known or unknown threats. Such incidents, whether
successful or unsuccessful, could result in our incurring significant costs related to, for example, rebuilding internal systems,
reduced inventory value, providing modifications to our products and services, defending against litigation, responding to
regulatory inquiries or actions, paying damages, or taking other remedial steps with respect to third parties. In addition, these
threats are constantly evolving, thereby increasing the difficulty of successfully defending against them or implementing adequate
preventative measures. Publicity about vulnerabilities and attempted or successful incursions could damage our reputation with
customers or users, and reduce demand for our products and services.

We may be subject to theft, loss, or misuse of personal data about our employees, customers, or other third parties, which could
increase our expenses, damage our reputation, or result in legal or regulatory proceedings. The theft, loss, or misuse of personal
data collected, used, stored, or transferred by us to run our business could result in significantly increased security costs or costs
related to defending legal claims. Global privacy legislation, enforcement, and policy activity in this area are rapidly expanding
and creating a complex regulatory compliance environment. Costs to comply with and implement these privacy-related and data
protection measures could be significant. In addition, even our inadvertent failure to comply with federal, state, or international
privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities or others.

20

We are subject to risks associated with transactions.

We invest in companies for strategic reasons and may not realize a return on our investments. We make investments in public
and private companies around the world to further our strategic objectives and support key business initiatives. Many of the
instruments in which we invest are non-marketable at the time of our initial investment. Companies in which we invest range from
early-stage companies still defining their strategic direction to mature companies with established revenue streams and business
models. The success of our investment in any company is typically dependent on the availability to the company of additional
funding on favorable terms, or a liquidity event, such as a public offering or acquisition. If any of the companies in which we invest
fail, we could lose all or part of our investment.

Our acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions could fail to achieve strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing business, and
harm our results of operations. In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate opportunities, and
enter into agreements for possible acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions, such as joint ventures. Given that our
resources are limited, our decision to pursue a transaction has opportunity costs; accordingly, if we pursue a particular
transaction, we may need to forgo the prospect of entering into other transactions that could help us achieve our strategic
objectives. In addition to opportunity costs, these transactions involve large challenges and risks, including risks that:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

the transaction may not advance our business strategy;
we may be unable to identify opportunities on terms acceptable to us;
we may not realize a satisfactory return;
we may experience disruption of our ongoing operations;
we may be unable to retain key personnel;
we may experience difficulty in integrating new employees, business systems, and technology;
acquired businesses may not have adequate controls, processes, and procedures to ensure compliance with laws and
regulations, and our due diligence process may not identify compliance issues or other liabilities;
we may have difficulty entering new market segments;
we may be unable to retain the customers and partners of acquired businesses; and/or
there may be unknown, underestimated, and/or undisclosed commitments or liabilities.

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

When we decide to sell assets or a business, we may have difficulty selling on acceptable terms in a timely manner, and the
agreed-upon terms and financing arrangements could be renegotiated due to changes in business or market conditions. These
circumstances could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives or cause us to incur additional expense, or we may sell a
business at a price or on terms that are less favorable than we had anticipated, resulting in a loss on the transaction.

If we do enter into agreements with respect to acquisitions, divestitures, or other transactions, we may fail to complete them due
to factors such as:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

failure to obtain regulatory or other approvals;
IP disputes or other litigation; or
difficulties obtaining financing for the transaction.

We are subject to sales-related risks.

We face risks related to sales through distributors and other third parties. We sell a significant portion of our products through
third parties such as distributors, value-added resellers, and channel partners (collectively referred to as distributors) as well as
OEMs, ODMs and Internet service providers. We depend on many distributors to help us create end customer demand, provide
technical support and other value-added services to customers, fill customer orders, and stock our products. We may rely on one
or more key distributors for a product, and a material change in our relationship with one or more of these distributors or their
failure to perform as expected could reduce our revenue. Our ability to add or replace distributors for some of our products may
be limited. In addition, our distributors’ expertise in the determination and stocking of acceptable inventory levels for some of our
products may not be easily transferable to a new distributor; as a result, end customers may be hesitant to accept the addition or
replacement of a distributor. Using third parties for distribution exposes us to many risks, including competitive pressure,
concentration, credit risk, and compliance risks. Distributors and other third parties may sell products that compete with our
products, and we may need to provide financial and other incentives to focus them on the sale of our products. They may face
financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, which could harm our collection of accounts receivable and financial results. Violations
of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or similar laws by distributors or other third-party intermediaries could have a material impact
on our business. Failure to manage risks related to our use of distributors and other third parties may reduce sales, increase
expenses, and weaken our competitive position.

21

We face risks related to business transactions with U.S. government entities. We receive proceeds from services and products we
provide to the U.S. government. U.S. government demand and payment may be affected by public sector budgetary cycles and
funding authorizations. U.S. government contracts are subject to oversight, including special rules on accounting, IP rights,
expenses, reviews, information handling, and security. Failure to comply with these rules could result in civil and criminal penalties
and sanctions, including termination of contracts, fines, and suspensions, or debarment from future U.S. government business.

Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying
accounting policies.

The methods, estimates, and judgments used in applying accounting policies are subject to significant risks, uncertainties,
assumptions, and changes that could affect our financial position and results of operations. For more information, see “Critical
Accounting Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 and “Note 2: Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Changes in our effective tax rate may reduce our net income.

A number of factors may increase our effective tax rates, which could reduce our net income, including:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

changes in jurisdictions in which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed;
the resolution of issues arising from tax audits;
changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and in deferred tax valuation allowances;
adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of tax returns;
increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, including impairments of goodwill;
changes in available tax credits;
changes in tax laws or their interpretation, including changes in the U.S. to the taxation of manufacturing enterprises and of
non-U.S. income and expenses;
changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and
our decision to repatriate non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes.

We may have fluctuations in the amount and frequency of our stock repurchases.

The amount, timing, and execution of our stock repurchase program may fluctuate based on our priorities for the use of cash for
other purposes—such as investing in our business, including operational spending, capital spending, and acquisitions, and
returning cash to our stockholders as dividend payments—and because of changes in cash flows and changes in tax laws.

Workforce restructuring actions may be disruptive to our operations and adversely affect our financial results.

In response to the business environment and to accomplish our strategic objectives, we have announced restructurings of our
operations and have made other adjustments to our workforce. We may pursue similar actions in the future, and such workforce
changes can result in restructuring charges in addition to those described in “Note 7: Restructuring and Other Charges” in Part II,
Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Any such workforce changes can also temporarily reduce workforce productivity, which could be
disruptive to our business and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, if our restructurings are perceived negatively,
our corporate reputation and ability to attract employees could suffer. Moreover, we may not achieve or sustain the expected cost
savings or other benefits of our restructuring plans, or do so within the expected time frame.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations with regard to our restructuring activity
include:
(cid:129)

timing and execution of plans and programs that may be subject to local labor law requirements, including consultation with
appropriate works councils;
assumptions related to severance, post-retirement, and relocation costs;
future acquisitions, dispositions, or investments;
new business initiatives and changes in product roadmap, development, and manufacturing; and/or
assumptions related to cost savings, product demand, and operating efficiencies.

There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of our controls.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls 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 resource constraints exist,
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. The design of any system of controls is based in part on
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to
future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or deterioration in
the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. If our controls become inadequate, we could fail to meet our financial
reporting obligations, our reputation may be adversely affected, our business and operating results could be harmed, and the
market price of our stock could decline.

Our principal executive offices are located in the U.S. and the majority of our wafer manufacturing activities in 2016 were also
located in the U.S. One of our Arizona wafer fabrication facilities is currently on hold and held in a safe state, and we are
reserving the building for additional capacity and future technologies. Incremental construction and equipment installation are
required to ready the facility for its intended use. For more information on our wafer fabrication and our assembly and test
facilities, see “Manufacturing and Assembly and Test” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

We believe that the facilities described above are suitable and adequate for our present purposes and that the productive
capacity in our facilities is substantially being utilized or we have plans to utilize it.

Intel common stock and dividend information, see “Financial Information by Quarter (Unaudited)” in Part II, Item 8 of this
Form 10-K.

As of February 7, 2017, there were approximately 125,000 registered holders of record of Intel’s common stock. A substantially
greater number of holders of Intel common stock are “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares of record are held by
banks, brokers, and other financial institutions.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We have an ongoing authorization, originally approved by our Board of Directors in 2005, and subsequently amended, to
repurchase up to $65.0 billion in shares of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions. As of December 31,
2016, $6.8 billion remained available for repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization limit.

We issue RSUs as part of our equity incentive plans. In our consolidated 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 plan and accordingly are not
included in the common stock repurchase totals in the preceding table.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

We achieved record revenue of $59.4 billion in 2016, up $4.0 billion, or 7%, from 2015. The increase was driven by the inclusion
of PSG and growth in the DCG, CCG, and IOTG businesses. Net income for 2016 was $10.3 billion, and cash flow from
operations was $21.8 billion.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

CCG revenue was $32.9 billion, up 2%, with platform volume down 10% and platform average selling prices up 11%. DCG
revenue was $17.2 billion, up 8%, with platform volume up 8% and platform average selling prices down 1%.

Gross margin dollars were $36.2 billion, up $1.5 billion from 2015. Gross margin of 60.9% was down 1.7 points from 2015.
The gross margin percentage point decrease was driven primarily by Altera and other amortization of acquisition-related
charges, lower NSG gross margin, higher factory start-up costs (primarily on 10nm), higher product warranty and intellectual
property charges, and CCG non-platform products. The decrease was partially offset by lower platform unit costs, platform
volume, and higher platform average selling prices.

R&D and MG&A totaled $21.1 billion, up 5% from a year ago. R&D and MG&A were 35.6% of revenue in 2016, down
approximately 1 point from 2015.

Restructuring and other charges were $1.9 billion, primarily driven by our 2016 Restructuring Program.

Earnings per share of $2.12 were down 21 cents, or 9% from a year ago. This decrease was primarily driven by higher
restructuring and other charges, higher spending, and higher amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. The decrease
was partially offset by platform volume and higher platform average selling prices.

Record cash flow from operations in 2016 was approximately $21.8 billion. During 2016, we acquired Altera and other
smaller acquisitions for $15.5 billion. We purchased $9.6 billion in capital assets, paid $4.9 billion in dividends, and
repurchased $2.6 billion in stock. We issued $2.8 billion of long-term debt and assumed $1.5 billion as part of the Altera
acquisition.

2016 has been a transformative year for Intel. We have made strides to move from a PC centric company to one that is powering
the cloud and billions of smart, connected devices.

We are building on our strong position in client computing and are investing for growth in the data center, Internet of Things
market segments, and disruptive differentiated memory technology. To accelerate our transformation, in Q2 2016, we announced
the 2016 Restructuring Program, which is on track to reduce our headcount and generate savings. We are reallocating these
savings to our growth segments, such as the data center and Internet of Things, and are continuing to invest in areas that extend
our leadership in Moore’s Law and expand market opportunities in areas such as memory and autonomous driving.

In Q1 2016, we completed the acquisition of Altera, a global semiconductor company that designs and sells programmable
semiconductors and related products, and subsequently formed PSG. We have worked to integrate Altera throughout 2016 and
the business continues to deliver new products and to grow. In September 2016, to further accelerate our transformation and
focus our business on core strategic areas, we announced the planned divestiture of ISecG.

Our Business Outlook for Q1 2017 and full year 2017 includes, where applicable, our current expectations for revenue, gross
margin percentage, spending (R&D plus MG&A), and capital expenditures. We publish our Business Outlook in our quarterly
earnings release. Our Business Outlook and any updates thereto are publicly available on our Investor Relations website,
www.intc.com. This Business Outlook is not incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. We expect that our corporate
representatives will, from time to time, meet publicly or privately with investors and others, and may reiterate the forward-looking
statements contained in the Business Outlook or in this Form 10-K. The statements in the Business Outlook and forward-looking
statements in this Form 10-K are subject to revision during the course of the year in our quarterly earnings releases and SEC
filings and at other times. The forward-looking statements in the Business Outlook will be effective through the close of business
on March 17, 2017, unless updated earlier. From the close of business on March 17, 2017 until our quarterly earnings release is
published, currently scheduled for April 27, 2017, we will observe a “quiet period.” During the quiet period, the Business Outlook
and other forward-looking statements first published in our Form 8-K filed on January 26, 2017, and other forward-looking
statements disclosed in the company’s news releases and filings with the SEC, as reiterated or updated as applicable in this
Form 10-K, should be considered historical, speaking as of prior to the quiet period only and not subject to update. During the
quiet period, our representatives will not comment on our Business Outlook or our financial results or expectations. The exact
timing and duration of the routine quiet period, and any others that we utilize from time to time, may vary at our discretion.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our financial
position and the results that we report in our consolidated financial statements. Some of these policies require us to make
subjective estimates and apply judgment regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our most critical accounting estimates include:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

the valuation of inventory, which impacts gross margin;
the determination of useful lives for our property, plant and equipment and the timing of when depreciation should begin,
which impacts our gross margin, R&D expenses, and to a lesser extent MG&A expenses;
the determination of other-than-temporary impairments for non-marketable equity investments requires the use of estimates
about their valuations, which impacts gains or losses on equity investments, net;
the valuation and the allocation of purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our
acquisitions, which impacts our gross margin and operating expenses in periods subsequent to the acquisition;
the evaluation of recoverability of long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment; identified intangibles; and goodwill),
which impacts gross margin or operating expenses when we record impairments or accelerate their depreciation or
amortization;
the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes (including the measurement of uncertain tax
positions), which impact our provision for taxes as well as tax-related assets and liabilities; and
the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, which impact gross margin or operating expenses when we
recognize a loss contingency, revise the estimate for a loss contingency, or record an asset impairment.

Our net revenue in 2016 increased by $4.0 billion, or 7%, compared to 2015. Our results in 2016 reflected the inclusion of PSG
from the newly acquired Altera and an extra work week, compared to 2015. The higher revenue was also driven by higher unit
sales from our DCG platform and higher average selling prices from our notebook and desktop platforms.

Our net revenue in 2015 decreased by $515 million, or 1%, compared to 2014. The decrease in revenue was due to challenging
macroeconomic conditions, particularly in the first half of the year, and higher PC demand in 2014 driven by the Microsoft
Windows XP* refresh. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by higher platform average selling prices on desktop and
DCG platforms, higher DCG platform unit sales, along with higher NSG revenue.

The operating loss for the PSG operating segment was driven by acquisition-related charges, primarily deferred revenue write-
down and inventory valuation adjustment. Due to the revaluation of deferred revenue to fair value, we excluded revenue of
$99 million and associated costs that would have created $64 million of operating income in 2016. Additionally, we incurred
approximately $387 million of additional cost of sales charges during the period that would have been excluded from the
operating results in 2016 if the acquired inventory had not been remeasured to fair value upon acquisition and then sold to end
customers, resulting in zero margin on that inventory for the period.

Research and Development

R&D spending increased by $612 million, or 5%, in 2016 compared to 2015. The increase was driven by the addition of PSG
expenses from the acquisition of Altera, higher investment, net of 2016 restructuring program savings, in strategically important
areas such as servers, Internet of Things, new devices, and memory, as well as higher process development costs for our new
7nm process technology. These increases were partially offset by lower depreciation expense due to a change at the beginning of
fiscal year 2016 to the estimated useful life of our machinery and equipment in our wafer fabrication facilities.

R&D spending increased by $591 million, or 5%, in 2015 compared to 2014. The increase was due to higher investment in our
products—primarily server, Internet of Things, and new devices—as well as expenses of newly acquired entities and higher
process development costs for our 10nm process technology. This increase was partially offset by lower profit-dependent
compensation and savings from the implementation of efficiencies within our CCG operating segment.

MG&A expenses increased by $467 million, or 6%, in 2016 compared to 2015. This increase was primarily due to PSG expenses
from the acquisition of Altera.

MG&A expenses decreased by $206 million in 2015 compared to 2014. This decrease was due to lower profit-dependent
compensation as well as lower expenses from businesses that have been divested.

2016 Restructuring Program. In Q2 2016, our management approved and commenced the 2016 Restructuring Program to
accelerate our transformation from a PC company to one that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing
devices. Under this program, we are in the process of closing certain facilities and reducing headcount globally to align our
operations with evolving business needs by investing in our growth businesses and improving efficiencies. We expect these
actions to be substantially completed by Q2 2017.

Restructuring actions related to this program that were approved in 2016 are expected to impact approximately 15,000
employees. We estimate that the charges incurred to date as part of the 2016 restructuring program will result in net annual
headcount savings of approximately $1.6 billion as we re-balance our workforce. On an annual basis, we expect $1.4 billion of
these savings will reduce our R&D and MG&A spending, and the remainder will reduce our cost of sales. We began to realize
these savings in Q2 2016 and expect to fully realize these savings by Q2 2017. We are reallocating these savings to our growth
segments, such as the data center and Internet of Things, and are continuing to invest in areas that extend our leadership in
Moore’s Law and expand market opportunities in areas such as memory and autonomous driving.

For further information on the 2016 Restructuring Program, see “Note 7: Restructuring and Other Charges” in Part II, Item 8 of
this Form 10-K.

2015 Restructuring Program. During 2015, management approved and commenced implementation of restructuring actions,
primarily targeted workforce reductions, as we adjusted resources from areas of disinvestment to areas of investment. This
program was completed in 2015.

2013 Restructuring Program. During 2013, management approved and commenced implementation of several restructuring
actions, including targeted workforce reductions and the exit of certain businesses and facilities. These actions included the wind
down of our 200mm wafer fabrication facility in Massachusetts and the closure of our assembly and test facility in Costa Rica.
This program was completed in 2015.

Other Charges. Other charges consist primarily of expenses associated with the planned divestiture of ISecG that was
announced in Q3 2016.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation totaled $1.4 billion in 2016 ($1.3 billion in 2015 and $1.1 billion in 2014). Share-based compensation
was included in cost of sales and operating expenses.

As of December 31, 2016, unrecognized share-based compensation costs and the weighted average periods over which the
costs are expected to be recognized were as follows:

We recognized higher net gains on equity investments in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to gains of $407 million related to
sales of a portion of our interest in ASML.

We recognized lower net gains on equity investments in 2015 compared to 2014 due to lower gains on sales of equity
investments partially offset by higher gains on third-party merger transactions.

We recognized a higher interest and other, net loss in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to higher interest expense from debt
issued or acquired in 2015 and 2016 as well as lower capitalized interest due to lower eligible capital expenditures in 2016.

We recognized an interest and other, net loss in 2015 compared to a net gain in 2014 primarily due to higher interest expense,
which resulted from the issuance of senior unsecured notes during 2015. For further information on these transactions, see “Note

The majority of the increase in our effective tax rate in 2016 compared to 2015 was driven by one-time items and our 2015

lower tax jurisdictions.

Most of the decrease in our effective tax rate in 2015 compared to 2014 was driven by one-time items, a higher proportion of our

positively impacted our effective income tax rate.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities.

For 2016 compared to 2015, the $2.8 billion increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to adjustments for
non-cash items and changes in working capital, partially offset by lower net income. The adjustments for non-cash items were
higher in 2016 primarily due to restructuring and other charges and the change in deferred taxes, partially offset by lower
depreciation expense. Income taxes paid, net of refunds, in 2016 compared to 2015 were $2.6 billion lower due to bonus
depreciation on capital assets placed in service, as well as timing of certain tax payments and refunds.

For 2015 compared to 2014, the $1.4 billion decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due to changes in working
capital, adjustments for non-cash items, and lower net income. The adjustments for non-cash items were lower due primarily to
deferred taxes, partially offset by higher depreciation.

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. Our capital expenditures were $9.6 billion in 2016 ($7.3 billion in 2015
and $10.1 billion in 2014).

The increase in cash used for investing activities in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to our completed acquisition of
Altera, net purchases of trading assets in 2016 compared to net sales of trading assets in 2015, and higher capital expenditures
in 2016. This increase was partially offset by lower investments in non-marketable equity investments and collection of loans
receivable and reverse repurchase agreements.

The decrease in cash used for investing activities in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to cash generated by net trading
asset activity and lower capital expenditures during 2015. This activity was partially offset by net available-for-sale activity (which
was cash flow neutral in 2015 compared to a source of cash in 2014) and higher investments in non-marketable equity
investments during 2015.

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 used for financing activities in 2016 compared to cash provided by financing activities in 2015, primarily due to lower
proceeds from debt issuances and the repayment of $1.5 billion of debt in 2016. These amounts were partially offset by
repayment of commercial paper in 2015 and fewer repurchases of common stock under our authorized stock repurchase
program. We have an ongoing authorization, originally approved by our Board of Directors in 2005, and subsequently amended,
to repurchase up to $65.0 billion in shares of our common stock in the open market or negotiated transactions. During 2016, we
repurchased $2.6 billion of common stock under our authorized common stock repurchase program, compared to $3.0 billion in
2015. As of December 31, 2016, $6.8 billion remained available for repurchasing common stock under the existing repurchase
authorization limit. We base our level of common stock repurchases on internal cash management decisions, and this level may
fluctuate. Proceeds from the sale of common stock through employee equity incentive plans totaled $1.1 billion in 2016 compared
to $866 million in 2015. Our total dividend payments were $4.9 billion in 2016 compared to $4.6 billion in 2015. We have paid a
cash dividend in each of the past 97 quarters. In January 2017, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per
share of common stock for Q1 2017. The dividend is payable on March 1, 2017 to stockholders of record on February 7, 2017.

Cash was provided by financing activities in 2015 compared to cash used by financing activities in 2014, primarily due to the
issuance of long-term debt in 2015 and fewer repurchases of common stock under our authorized stock repurchase program in
2015 compared to 2014. This activity was partially offset by lower proceeds from the sales of common stock in 2015 and
repayments of short-term debt in 2015 compared to borrowings in 2014.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity

Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity. We maintain a diverse investment portfolio that we continually
analyze based on issuer, industry, and country. When assessing our sources of liquidity we include investments as shown in the
Liquidity and Capital Resources table. 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 $5.0 billion. No commercial paper
remained outstanding as of December 31, 2016. On December 21, 2015, we entered into a short-term credit facility to borrow up
to $5.0 billion to facilitate the settlement of our acquisition of Altera. Under this credit facility we borrowed $4.0 billion, and the
facility was closed in January 2016. In Q2 2016, we issued $2.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes to
refinance existing indebtedness, including our 1.95% senior notes due 2016 and a portion of our 1.35% senior notes due 2017.

As of December 31, 2016, $13.6 billion of our $17.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and trading assets
was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $13.6 billion held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, approximately $1.5 billion was available
for use in the U.S. without incurring additional U.S. income taxes in excess of the amounts already accrued in our financial
statements as of December 31, 2016. The remaining amount of non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and
trading assets has been indefinitely reinvested and, therefore, no U.S. current or deferred taxes have been accrued. This amount is
earmarked for near-term investment in our operations outside the U.S. and future acquisitions of non-U.S. entities. We believe our
U.S. sources of cash and liquidity are sufficient to meet our business needs in the U.S., and do not expect that we will need to
repatriate the funds we have designated as indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. Under current tax laws, should our plans change
and we were to choose to repatriate some or all of the funds we have designated as indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., such
amounts would be subject to U.S. income taxes and applicable non-U.S. income and withholding taxes.

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 dividends, common
stock repurchases, acquisitions, and strategic investments.

1 Capital purchase obligations represent commitments for the construction or purchase of property, plant and equipment. They
were not recorded as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016, as we had not yet received the
related goods or taken title to the property.

2 Other purchase obligations and commitments include payments due under various types of licenses and agreements to

purchase goods or services, as well as payments due under non-contingent funding obligations.

3 Amounts represent principal and interest cash payments over the life of the debt obligations, including anticipated interest
payments that are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. Debt obligations are classified based on their stated
maturity date, regardless of their classification on the consolidated balance sheets. Any future settlement of convertible debt
would impact our cash payments.

4 We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of future payments related to uncertain tax positions; therefore, $125 million of
long-term income taxes payable has been excluded from the preceding table. However, long-term income taxes payable,
recorded on our consolidated balance sheets, included these uncertain tax positions, reduced by the associated federal
deduction for state taxes and U.S. tax credits arising from non-U.S. income taxes.

5 Amounts represent future cash payments to satisfy other long-term liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheets,

including the short-term portion of these long-term liabilities. Expected required contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension
plans and other postretirement benefit plans of $36 million to be made during 2017 are also included; however, funding
projections beyond 2017 are not practicable to estimate. Derivative instruments are excluded from the preceding table, as they
do not represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid.

6 Total excludes contractual obligations already recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities, except for the

short-term portions of long-term debt obligations and other long-term liabilities.

The expected timing of payments of the obligations in the preceding table is estimated based on current information. Timing of
payments and actual amounts paid may be different, depending on the time of receipt of goods or services, or changes to agreed-
upon amounts for some obligations.

Contractual obligations for purchases of goods or services included in “Other purchase obligations and commitments” in the
preceding table include agreements that are enforceable and legally binding on Intel and that specify all significant terms,
including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of
the transaction. For obligations with cancellation provisions, the amounts included in the preceding table were limited to the
non-cancelable portion of the agreement terms or the minimum cancellation fee.

We have entered into certain agreements for the purchase of raw materials that specify minimum prices and quantities based on
a percentage of the total available market or based on a percentage of our future purchasing requirements. Due to the uncertainty
of the future market and our future purchasing requirements, as well as the non-binding nature of these agreements, obligations
under these agreements have been excluded from the preceding table. Our purchase orders for other products are based on our
current manufacturing needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons. In addition, some of our purchase orders
represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Contractual obligations that are contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones have been excluded from the preceding
table. These obligations include milestone-based co-marketing agreements, contingent funding or payment obligations, and
milestone-based equity investment funding (excluding investment funding that is pending regulatory approval). These
arrangements are not considered contractual obligations until the milestone is met by the counterparty. As of December 31, 2016,
assuming that all future milestones are met, excluding the ASML milestones mentioned below, the additional required payments
would be approximately $694 million. During 2012, we entered into a series of agreements with ASML intended to accelerate the
development of EUV lithography, certain of which were amended in 2014. Under the amended agreements, Intel agreed to
provide R&D funding totaling €829 million over five years and committed to advance purchase orders for a specified number of
tools from ASML. Our remaining obligation, contingent upon ASML achieving certain milestones, is approximately €193 million, or
$202 million, as of December 31, 2016. As our obligation is contingent upon ASML achieving certain milestones, we have
excluded this obligation from the preceding table.

For the majority of RSUs granted, the number of shares of common stock issued on the date the RSUs vest is net of the minimum
statutory withholding requirements that we pay in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities on behalf of our employees. The
obligation to pay the relevant taxing authority is excluded from the preceding table, as the amount is contingent upon continued
employment. In addition, the amount of the obligation is unknown, as it is based in part on the market price of our common stock
when the awards vest.

During 2014, we entered into a series of agreements with Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. (Tsinghua Unigroup), an operating subsidiary
of Tsinghua Holdings Co. Ltd., to, among other things, jointly develop Intel architecture- and communications-based solutions for
phones. Subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, we have also agreed to invest up to 9.0 billion Chinese
yuan (approximately $1.5 billion as of the date of the agreement) for a minority stake of approximately 20% of Beijing
UniSpreadtrum Technology Ltd. (UniSpreadtrum). During 2015, we invested $966 million to complete the first phase of the equity
investment. The second phase of the investment will require additional funding of approximately $500 million; however, as our
obligation is contingent upon regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, it has been excluded from the preceding table.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, we did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC
Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7A. 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 reduce, but may not entirely eliminate, the impact of these risks. All of the following potential changes are
based on sensitivity analyses performed on our financial positions as of December 31, 2016 and December 26, 2015. Actual
results may differ materially.

Currency Exchange Rates

We are exposed to currency exchange risks of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated investments in debt instruments and loans
receivable, and may economically hedge this risk with foreign currency contracts, such as currency forward contracts or currency
interest rate swaps. Gains or losses on these non-U.S.-currency investments are generally offset by corresponding losses or
gains on the related hedging instruments. We are exposed to currency exchange risks from our non-U.S.-dollar-denominated
debt indebtedness and may use foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage this risk.

Substantially all of our revenue is transacted in U.S. dollars. However, a significant portion of our operating expenditures and
capital purchases are incurred in other currencies, primarily the euro, the Japanese yen, the Israeli shekel, and the Chinese yuan.
We have established currency risk management programs to protect against currency exchange rate risks associated with
non-U.S. dollar forecasted future cash flows and existing non-U.S. dollar monetary assets and liabilities. We may also hedge
currency risk arising from funding of foreign currency-denominated future investments. We may utilize foreign currency contracts,
such as currency forward or option contracts in these hedging programs. We considered the historical trends in currency
exchange rates and determined that it was reasonably possible that a weighted average adverse change of 20% in currency
exchange rates could be experienced in the near term. Such an adverse change, after taking into account balance sheet hedges
only and offsetting recorded monetary asset and liability positions, would have resulted in an adverse impact on income before
taxes of less than $80 million as of December 31, 2016 (less than $75 million as of December 26, 2015).

Interest Rates

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our fixed-rate investment portfolio and outstanding debt. The primary objective of
our investment policy is to preserve principal and the financial flexibility to fund our business while maximizing yields, which
generally track the U.S. dollar three-month LIBOR. We generally enter into interest rate contracts to convert the returns on our
fixed-rate debt investment with remaining maturities longer than six months into U.S. dollar three-month LIBOR-based returns.
We may enter into swaps to convert fixed-rate coupon payments into floating-rate coupon payments for our existing
indebtedness. Gains or losses on these instruments are generally offset by corresponding losses or gains on the related hedging
instruments.

A hypothetical decrease in benchmark interest rates of up to 1.0%, after taking into account investment hedges, would have
resulted in an increase in the fair value of our investment portfolio of approximately $100 million as of December 31, 2016 (an
increase of approximately $15 million as of December 26, 2015). After taking into account interest rate and currency swaps, a
hypothetical decrease in interest rates of up to 1.0% would have resulted in an increase in the fair value of our indebtedness of
approximately $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2016 (an increase of approximately $1.6 billion as of December 26, 2015). The
fluctuations in fair value of our investment portfolio and indebtedness reflect only the direct impact of the change in interest rates.
Other economic variables, such as equity market fluctuations and changes in relative credit risk, could result in a significantly
higher fluctuation in the fair value of our net investment position.

Equity Prices

Our investments include marketable equity securities and equity derivative instruments. We typically do not attempt to reduce or
eliminate our equity market exposure through hedging activities at the inception of our investments. Before we enter into hedge
arrangements, we evaluate legal, market, and economic factors, as well as the expected timing of disposal, to determine whether
hedging is appropriate. Our equity market risk management program may include equity derivatives with or without hedge
accounting designation that utilize warrants, equity options, or other equity derivatives.

We also utilize total return swaps to offset changes in liabilities related to the equity market risks of certain deferred compensation
arrangements. Gains or losses from changes in fair value of these total return swaps are generally offset by the losses or gains
on the related liabilities.

As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of our marketable equity investments and our equity derivative instruments, including
hedging positions, was $6.2 billion ($6.0 billion as of December 26, 2015). Substantially all of our marketable equity investments
portfolio as of December 31, 2016 was concentrated in our investment in ASML of $6.1 billion ($5.7 billion as of December 26,
2015). Our marketable equity method investments are excluded from our analysis, as the carrying value does not fluctuate based
on market price changes unless an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed necessary. To determine reasonably possible
decreases in the market value of our marketable equity investments, we have analyzed the historical market price sensitivity of
our marketable equity investment portfolio. Assuming a decline of 30% in market prices, and after reflecting the impact of hedges
and offsetting positions, the aggregate value of our marketable equity investments could decrease by approximately $1.9 billion,
based on the value as of December 31, 2016 (a decrease in value of approximately $1.8 billion, based on the value as of
December 26, 2015 using an assumed decline of 30%).

Many of the same factors that could result in an adverse movement of equity market prices affect our non-marketable equity
investments, although we cannot always quantify the impact directly. Financial markets are volatile, which could negatively affect
the prospects of the companies we invest in, their ability to raise additional capital, and the likelihood of our ability to realize value
in our investments through liquidity events such as initial public offerings, mergers, and private sales. These types of investments
involve a great deal of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific company will grow or become successful;
consequently, we could lose all or part of our investment. Our non-marketable cost method equity investments had a carrying
amount of $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2016 ($2.9 billion as of December 26, 2015) and included our investment in
UniSpreadtrum and Cloudera, Inc. (Cloudera) of $966 million and $454 million, respectively ($966 million and $454 million for
UniSpreadtrum and Cloudera, respectively, as of December 26, 2015). The carrying amount of our non-marketable equity method
investments was $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2016 ($1.6 billion as of December 26, 2015). A substantial majority of our
non-marketable equity method investments balance as of December 31, 2016 was concentrated in our IMFT and Cloudera
investments of $849 million and $225 million, respectively ($872 million and $256 million for IMFT and Cloudera, respectively, as
of December 26, 2015).

Commodity Price Risk

Although we operate facilities that consume commodities, we are not directly affected by commodity price risk to a material
degree. We have established forecasted transaction risk management programs to protect against fluctuations in commodity
prices. We may use commodity derivatives contracts, such as commodity swaps, in these hedging programs. In addition, we have
sourcing plans in place for our key commodities that mitigate the risk of a potential supplier concentration.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Intel Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Intel Corporation as of December 31, 2016 and
December 26, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Part IV, Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Intel Corporation at December 31, 2016 and December 26, 2015, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Intel
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and
our report dated February 17, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Intel Corporation

We have audited Intel Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Intel Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Intel Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
2016 consolidated financial statements of Intel Corporation and our report dated February 17, 2017, expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2016 was a 53-week fiscal year,
and the first quarter of 2016 was a 14-week quarter. Fiscal years 2015 and 2014 were 52-week years. Our consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Intel Corporation (Intel) and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and
transactions. We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S.
GAAP) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements
and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.

During our 2015 annual assessment of the useful lives of our property, plant and equipment, we determined that the estimated
useful lives of machinery and equipment in our wafer fabrication facilities should be increased from 4 to 5 years based on the
lengthening of the process technology cadence resulting in longer node transitions on both 14 nanometer (nm) and 10nm
products. We have also increased the re-use of machinery and tools across each generation of process technology. This change
in estimate was applied prospectively, effective at the beginning of 2016. During 2016, this change increased our operating
income by approximately $1.3 billion, our net income by approximately $950 million, and our diluted earnings per share by
approximately $0.19.

Note 2: Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We recognize net product revenue when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement, delivery has
occurred, pricing is deemed fixed, and collection is considered probable. We record pricing allowances, including discounts based
on contractual arrangements with customers, when we recognize revenue as a reduction to both accounts receivable and net
revenue. Because of frequent sales price reductions and rapid technology obsolescence in our industry, we defer product
revenue and related costs of sales from component sales made to distributors under agreements allowing price protection or right
of return until the distributors sell the merchandise. The right of return granted generally consists of a stock rotation program in
which distributors are able to exchange certain products based on the number of qualified purchases made by the distributor.
Under the price protection program, we give distributors credits for the difference between the original price paid and the current
price that we offer. We include shipping charges billed to customers in net revenue, and include the related shipping costs in cost
of sales.

Revenue from license agreements on our McAfee products generally includes service and support agreements for which the
related revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the performance period in which services are provided. Revenue derived
from online subscription products is deferred and recognized ratably over the performance period. Professional services revenue
is recognized as services are performed or, if required, upon customer acceptance. For arrangements with multiple elements,
including software licenses, maintenance, and/or services, revenue is allocated across the separately identified deliverables and
may be recognized or deferred. When vendor-specific objective evidence does not exist for undelivered elements such as
maintenance and support, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period. Direct costs, such as
costs related to revenue-sharing and royalty arrangements associated with license arrangements, as well as component costs
associated with product revenue and sales commissions, are deferred and recognized over the same period that the related
revenue is recognized.

We compute inventory cost on a first-in, first-out basis. We apply judgment in the valuation of our inventory which includes the
following critical accounting estimates.

Intel has a product development life cycle that corresponds with substantive engineering milestones. These engineering
milestones are regularly and consistently applied in assessing the point at which our activities, and associated costs, change in
nature from research and development (R&D) to cost of sales. This impacts the timing of when manufacturing costs can be
capitalized as inventory. For a product to be manufactured in high volumes and sold to our customers under our standard
warranty, it must meet our rigorous technical quality specifications. This milestone is known as product release qualification
(PRQ). We have identified PRQ as the point at which the costs incurred to manufacture our products are included in the valuation
of inventory. Prior to PRQ, costs that do not meet the criteria for R&D are included in cost of sales in the period incurred. If the
point at which we estimate that inventory meets PRQ criteria changes in the future, the timing and recognition of the
manufacturing costs would shift between R&D and costs of sales.

To determine which manufacturing overhead costs can be included in the valuation of inventory, we must determine what normal
capacity levels are at our manufacturing and assembly and test facilities, based on historical loadings compared to total available
capacity. If the factory loadings are below the established normal capacity level, a portion of our manufacturing overhead costs
would not be included in the cost of inventory; therefore, it would be recognized as cost of sales in that period, which would
negatively impact our gross margin. We refer to these costs as excess capacity charges.

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Product-
specific facts and circumstances reviewed in the inventory valuation process include a review of our customer base, the stage of
the product life cycle of our products, and an assessment of selling price in relation to product cost. Inventory reserves increased
by approximately $270 million in 2016 compared to 2015.

The valuation of inventory also requires us to estimate obsolete and excess inventory, as well as inventory that is not of saleable
quality. The demand forecast is utilized in the development of our short-term manufacturing plans to enable consistency between
inventory valuations and build decisions. The estimate of future demand is compared to work-in-process and finished goods
inventory levels to determine the amount, if any, of obsolete or excess inventory. If our demand forecast for specific products is
greater than actual demand and we fail to reduce manufacturing output accordingly, we could be required to write off inventory,
which would negatively impact our gross margin.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets and we capitalize interest on
borrowings related to eligible capital expenditures. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of qualified assets and depreciated
together with that asset cost. We record capital-related government grants earned as a reduction to property, plant and
equipment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We apply judgment in the valuation of our property, plant and equipment, which includes the following critical accounting
estimates.

(cid:129)

The estimated economic useful lives of our property, plant and equipment can materially impact our depreciation expense.
Accordingly, at least annually, we evaluate the period over which we expect to recover the economic value of these assets,
considering factors such as the process technology cadence between node transitions and re-use of machinery and tools
across each generation of process technology. We had a change in estimate in 2016 related to the useful lives of machinery
and equipment in our wafer fabrication facilities. For further information, see “Note 1: Basis of Presentation.”

As we make manufacturing process conversions and other factory planning decisions, we use assumptions involving the use
of management judgments regarding the remaining useful lives of assets, primarily process-specific semiconductor
manufacturing tools and building improvements. When we determine that the useful lives of assets are shorter than we had
originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of depreciation to reflect the assets’ new, shorter useful lives.

(cid:129) We assess property, plant and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider in deciding when to perform an
impairment review include significant under-performance of a business or product line in relation to expectations, significant
negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. We measure the
recoverability of assets that we will continue to use in our operations by comparing the carrying value of the asset grouping to
our estimate of the related total future undiscounted net cash flows arising from the use of that asset grouping. If an asset
grouping carrying value is not recoverable through the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset grouping is considered to
be impaired. We measure the impairment by comparing the difference between the asset grouping carrying value and its fair
value.

(cid:129) We have certain facilities, included within construction in progress, being held in a safe state and not currently in use that we
have plans to place into service at a future date. The time at which these assets are placed into service depends on our
existing manufacturing capacity, market demand for our products, and where we are in the transition of products on our
roadmap. Management makes judgments about the timing of when these facilities will be readied for their intended use and
placed into service for the manufacturing of our products. Depreciation is not recognized on these assets and they are not
eligible for capitalized interest when construction is on hold.

Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous
market in which we would transact, and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability. Our financial assets are measured and recorded at fair value, except for cost method investments, cost method loans
receivable, equity method investments, grants receivable, and reverse repurchase agreements with original maturities greater
than three months.

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We evaluate security-specific market data when
determining whether a market is active.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in
less active markets, or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in our valuations, such as discounted cash flows,
are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of
the assets or liabilities. We use LIBOR-based yield curves, currency spot and forward rates, and credit ratings as significant
inputs in our valuations. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices as well as quoted prices that were
adjusted for security-specific restrictions. When we use non-binding market consensus prices, we corroborate them with
quoted market prices for similar instruments or compare them to output from internally developed pricing models such as a
discounted cash flow models.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets
or liabilities. We monitor and review the inputs and results of these valuation models to help ensure the fair value
measurements are reasonable and consistent with market experience in similar asset classes. Level 3 inputs also include
non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that we were unable to corroborate with observable
market data.

Our policy is to reflect transfers between the fair value hierarchy levels at the beginning of the period.

Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt investments with original maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less as cash
equivalents. Cash equivalents can include investments such as corporate debt, financial institution instruments, government debt,
and reverse repurchase agreements.

Trading Assets

Marketable debt instruments are generally designated as trading assets when a market risk is economically hedged at inception
with a related derivative instrument, or when the marketable debt instrument itself is used to economically hedge currency
exchange rate risk from remeasurement. Investments designated as trading assets are reported at fair value. The gains or losses
on these investments arising from changes in fair value due to interest rate and currency market fluctuations and credit market
volatility, largely offset by losses or gains on the related derivative instruments and balance sheet remeasurement, are recorded
in interest and other, net. We also designate certain floating-rate securitized financial instruments, primarily asset-backed
securities, as trading assets.

Available-for-Sale Investments

Available-for-sale investments are classified within cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, or long-term investments
based on the remaining maturity of the investment.

Investments designated as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), except as noted in the “Other-Than-Temporary Impairment” section. We
determine the cost of the investment sold based on an average cost basis at the individual security level. Our available-for-sale
investments include:

(cid:129) Marketable debt instruments when the interest rate and foreign currency risks are not hedged at the inception of the

investment or when our criteria for designation as trading assets are not met. We record the interest income and realized
gains or losses on the sale of these instruments in interest and other, net.

(cid:129) Marketable equity securities when there is no plan to sell or hedge the investment at the time of original classification. We

acquire these equity investments to promote business and strategic objectives. We record the realized gains or losses on the
sale or exchange of marketable equity securities in gains (losses) on equity investments, net.

Non-Marketable and Other Equity Investments

We regularly invest in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies, which range from early-stage companies that are
often still defining their strategic direction to more mature companies with established revenue streams and business models. The
carrying value of our non-marketable equity investment portfolio, excluding equity derivatives, totaled $4.4 billion as of
December 31, 2016 ($4.5 billion as of December 26, 2015).

Our non-marketable equity and other equity investments are included in other long-term assets. We account for non-marketable
equity and other equity investments for which we do not have control over the investee as:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Equity method investments when we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.
Equity method investments include marketable and non-marketable investments. Our proportionate share of the income or
loss is recognized on a one-quarter lag and is recorded in gains (losses) on equity investments, net.

Non-marketable cost method investments when the equity method does not apply.

Significant judgment is required to identify whether an impairment exists in the valuation of our non-marketable equity investments
portfolio, and therefore we consider this a critical accounting estimate. Our quarterly analysis considers both qualitative and quantitative
factors that may have a significant impact on the investee’s fair value. Qualitative analysis of our investments involves understanding the
financial performance and near-term prospects of the investee, changes in general market conditions in the investee’s industry or
geographic area, and the management and governance structure of the investee. Quantitative assessments of the fair value of our
investments are developed using the market and income approaches. The market approach includes the use of comparable financial
metrics of private and public companies and recent financing rounds. The income approach includes the use of a discounted cash flow
model, which requires significant estimates regarding the investees’ revenue, costs, and discount rates. Our assessment of these factors
in determining whether an impairment exists could change in the future due to new developments or changes in applied assumptions.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

Our available-for-sale investments and non-marketable and other equity investments are subject to a periodic impairment review.
Impairments affect earnings as follows:

(cid:129) Marketable debt instruments when the fair value is below amortized cost and we intend to sell the instrument, or when it is

more likely than not that we will be required to sell the instrument before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or when we do
not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the instrument (that is, a credit loss exists). When we do not expect to
recover the entire amortized cost basis of the instrument, we separate other-than-temporary impairments into amounts
representing credit losses, which are recognized in interest and other, net, and amounts not related to credit losses, which
are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

(cid:129) Marketable equity securities include the consideration of general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair
value is below cost, and our ability and intent to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery of
value in the foreseeable future. We also consider specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and the
business outlook for, the investee, which may include industry and sector performance, changes in technology, operational
and financing cash flow factors, and changes in the investee’s credit rating. We record other-than-temporary impairments on
marketable equity securities and marketable equity method investments in gains (losses) on equity investments, net.

(cid:129)

Non-marketable equity investments based on our assessment of the severity and duration of the impairment, and qualitative
and quantitative analysis of the operating performance of the investee; adverse changes in market conditions and the
regulatory or economic environment; changes in operating structure or management of the investee; additional funding
requirements; and the investee’s ability to remain in business. Impairments of non-marketable equity investments were
$184 million in 2016 ($166 million in 2015 and $140 million in 2014).

We record other-than-temporary impairments for non-marketable cost method investments and equity method investments in
gains (losses) on equity investments, net.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk,
and, to a lesser extent, equity market risk, commodity price risk, and credit risk. We may enter into master netting arrangements
to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. A master
netting arrangement may allow counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of multiple, separate derivative
transactions. We may also enter into collateral security arrangements with certain of our counterparties to exchange cash
collateral when the net fair value of certain derivative instruments fluctuates from contractually established thresholds. For
presentation on our consolidated balance sheets, we do not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under
master netting arrangements. Our derivative financial instruments are presented at fair value on a gross basis and are included in
other current assets, other long-term assets, other accrued liabilities, or other long-term liabilities.

Cash Flow Hedges

We may use foreign currency contracts, such as currency forwards and currency interest rate swaps, to hedge exposures for the
following items:
(cid:129)

variability in the U.S.-dollar equivalent of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated cash flows associated with our forecasted operating
and capital purchases spending; and
coupon and principal payments for our non-U.S.-dollar-denominated indebtedness.

(cid:129)

We may use commodity derivatives to hedge future cash flow exposures to the variability in commodity prices as well as interest
rate contracts, such as treasury rate lock agreements or interest rate swaps, to hedge the variability in cash flows driven by
interest rate risk for our future or existing indebtedness.

59

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The after-tax gains or losses from the effective portion of a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects
earnings, and in the same line item on the consolidated statements of income as the impact of the hedge transaction. For foreign
currency contracts hedging our capital purchases, forward points are excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment. For
options, time value is generally excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment. Ineffective portions of cash flow hedges, as
well as amounts excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment, are recognized in earnings in interest and other, net. If the
cash flow hedge transactions become probable not to occur, the corresponding amounts deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) would be immediately reclassified to interest and other, net. These derivatives are classified in the
consolidated statements of cash flows in the same section as the underlying item.

Fair Value Hedges

We may use interest rate contracts, such as interest rate swaps, to hedge against changes in the fair value on certain of our
fixed-rate indebtedness attributable to the changes in the benchmark interest rate. The gains or losses on these hedges, as well
as the offsetting losses or gains related to the changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item attributable to the hedged
risk, are recognized in earnings in the current period, primarily in interest and other, net. These derivatives are classified in the
consolidated statements of cash flows in the same section as the underlying item, primarily within cash flows from financing
activities.

Non-Designated Hedges

We may use foreign currency contracts to economically hedge the functional currency equivalent cash flows of recognized
monetary assets and liabilities, non-U.S.-dollar-denominated debt instruments classified as trading assets, and non-U.S.-dollar-
denominated loans receivables recognized at fair value. We may also use interest rate contracts to hedge interest rate risk
related to our U.S.-dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt instruments classified as trading assets.

The change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded through earnings in the line item on the consolidated statements of
income to which the derivatives most closely relate, primarily in interest and other, net. Changes in the fair value of the underlying
assets and liabilities associated with the hedged risk are generally offset by the changes in the fair value of the related
derivatives.

We may use total return swaps to offset changes in liabilities related to the equity market risks of certain deferred compensation
arrangements. Gains or losses from changes in fair value of total return swaps are generally offset by the losses or gains on the
related deferred compensation liabilities, both of which are recorded in cost of sales and operating expenses. Deferred
compensation liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities.

We may use warrants, equity options, or other equity derivatives as part of our equity market risk management program. We
recognize changes in the fair value of such derivatives in gains (losses) on equity investments, net.

These types of derivatives are either classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows within cash flows from operating
activities or investing activities, depending on the activity the exposure is most closely associated with.

Securities Lending

We may enter into securities lending agreements with financial institutions, generally to facilitate hedging and certain investment
and financing transactions. Selected securities may be loaned, secured by collateral in the form of cash or securities. The loaned
securities continue to be carried as investment assets on our consolidated balance sheets. For lending agreements collateralized
by cash and cash equivalents, collateral is recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability. For lending agreements
collateralized by other securities, we do not record the collateral as an asset or a liability, unless the collateral is repledged.

Loans Receivable

We may enter into loan transactions with third parties. These loans are classified within other current assets or other long-term
assets. We may elect the fair value option when the interest rate or foreign currency exchange rate risk is economically hedged at
the inception of the loan with a related derivative instrument. When the fair value option is not elected, the loans are carried at
amortized cost. We measure interest income for all loans receivable using the interest method, which is based on the effective
yield of the loans rather than the stated coupon rate.

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of investments in debt
instruments, derivative financial instruments, loans receivable, reverse repurchase agreements, and trade receivables. We may
enter into master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting net settlement of transactions
with the same counterparty.

We generally place investments with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, we limit the amount of credit exposure to
any one counterparty based on our analysis of that counterparty’s relative credit standing. As required per our investment policy,
substantially all of our investments in debt instruments and financing receivables are in investment-grade instruments. Credit-
rating criteria for derivative instruments are similar to those for other investments. Due to master netting arrangements, the
amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the
counterparty’s obligations exceed our obligations with that counterparty. As of December 31, 2016, our total credit exposure to
any single counterparty, excluding money market funds invested in U.S. treasury and U.S. agency securities and reverse
repurchase agreements collateralized by treasury and agency securities, did not exceed $700 million. To further reduce credit
risk, we obtain and secure available collateral from counterparties against obligations, including securities lending transactions,
when we deem it appropriate.

A substantial majority of our trade receivables are derived from sales to original equipment manufacturers and original design
manufacturers. We also have accounts receivable derived from sales to industrial and communications equipment manufacturers
in the computing and communications industries. We believe that the net accounts receivable balances from our three largest
customers (31% in 2016) do not represent a significant credit risk, based on cash flow forecasts, balance sheet analysis, and past
collection experience. For more information about the customers that represent our accounts receivable balance, see “Note 4:
Operating Segments and Geographic Information” in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

We have adopted credit policies and standards intended to accommodate industry growth and inherent risk. We believe that
credit risks are moderated by the financial stability of our major customers. We assess credit risk through quantitative and
qualitative analysis. From this analysis, we establish shipping and credit limits, and determine whether we will seek to use one or
more credit support protection devices, such as obtaining a parent guarantee, standby letter of credit, or credit insurance.

Business Combinations

We allocate the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our acquisitions based on their
estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. We consider this a critical accounting estimate because it involves a number of
assumptions, estimates, and judgments that could materially affect the timing or amounts recognized in our financial statements.
The most subjective areas include determining the fair value of the following:
(cid:129)

intangible assets, including valuation methodology, estimations of future cash flows, and discount rates, as well as the
estimated useful life of the intangible assets;
deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and tax-related valuation allowances, which are initially estimated
as of the acquisition date;
inventory; property, plant and equipment; pre-existing liabilities or legal claims; deferred revenue; and contingent
consideration, each as may be applicable; and
goodwill as measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Our assumptions and estimates are based upon comparable market data and information obtained from our management and the
management of the acquired companies. We allocate goodwill to the reporting units of the business that are expected to benefit
from the business combination.

61

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Goodwill

Application of the goodwill impairment test is considered a critical accounting estimate, including the identification of reporting
units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of fair
value for each reporting unit. We perform an annual impairment assessment of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year, or
more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, which includes evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to assess
the likelihood of an impairment of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The reporting unit’s carrying value used in an impairment test
represents the assignment of various assets and liabilities, excluding certain corporate assets and liabilities, such as cash,
investments, and debt. For reporting units in which this assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is
more than its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform the two-step goodwill
impairment test.

Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and
other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, we may perform a
quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in
measuring a reporting unit’s fair value. For reporting units in which the impairment assessment concludes that it is more likely
than not that the fair value is less than its carrying value, we perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test, which
compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting
unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to
determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill.

Our goodwill impairment test considers both the income method and the market method to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value.
The income method is based on a discounted future cash flow approach that uses the following major assumptions and inputs:
revenue, based on assumed market segment growth rates and our assumed market segment share; estimated costs; and
appropriate discount rates based on a reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital as determined by considering the
observable weighted average cost of capital of comparable companies. Our estimates of market segment growth, our market
segment share, and costs are based on historical data, various internal estimates, and a variety of external sources. The same
estimates are also used in our business planning and forecasting process. We test the reasonableness of the inputs and
outcomes of our discounted cash flow analysis against available comparable market data. The market method is based on
financial multiples and transaction prices of comparable companies. Although there were no specific qualitative indicators of
impairment for our reporting units, we elected to perform a step 1 impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2016. These reporting
units were all deemed to have fair values that substantially exceeded their carrying value.

Upon any reorganization of our operating segments, we re-evaluate our reporting units and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using
a relative fair value approach.

Identified Intangible Assets

We amortize all acquisition-related intangible assets that are subject to amortization over their estimated useful life based on
economic benefit. Acquisition-related in-process R&D assets represent the fair value of incomplete R&D projects that had not
reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition; initially, these are classified as “in-process research and
development” that are not subject to amortization. Once these R&D projects are completed, the asset balances are transferred
from “in-process research and development” to “acquisition-related developed technology” and are subject to amortization from
this point forward. The asset balances relating to projects that are abandoned after acquisition are impaired and expensed to
R&D.

We perform a quarterly review of significant finite—lived identified intangible assets to determine whether facts and circumstances
indicate that the useful life is shorter than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be
recoverable. We consider the assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of our
intangible and other long-lived assets a critical accounting estimate. They can be affected by various factors, including external
factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our forecasts for
specific product lines.

62

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Our annual impairment assessment occurs in the fourth quarter of each year for indefinite-lived intangible assets, or more
frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the
assets may not be recoverable. If necessary, a quantitative impairment test is performed to compare the fair value of the
indefinite—lived intangible asset with its carrying value. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over
the fair value of those assets.

Advertising

Cooperative advertising programs reimburse customers for marketing activities for certain of our products. We accrue cooperative
advertising obligations and record the costs at the same time that the related revenue is recognized. We record cooperative
advertising costs as marketing, general and administrative (MG&A) expenses to the extent that an advertising benefit separate
from the revenue transaction can be identified and the fair value of that advertising benefit received is determinable. We record
any excess in cash paid to customers over the fair value of the advertising benefit we receive as a reduction in revenue.
Advertising costs, including direct marketing costs, recorded within MG&A expenses were $1.8 billion in 2016 ($1.8 billion in 2015
and $1.8 billion in 2014).

Employee Equity Incentive Plans

We use the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation over the service period of the award. Upon
exercise, cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of stock options, or upon vesting or forfeiture of restricted stock units (RSUs), we
eliminate deferred tax assets for options and RSUs with multiple vesting dates for each vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis
as if each vesting period were a separate award.

Income Taxes

We compute the provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities
using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to
be realized or settled.

We apply judgment in the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes which includes the following critical
accounting estimates. We assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we
must increase our provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not
ultimately be recoverable. We believe that we will ultimately recover the deferred tax assets recorded on our consolidated balance
sheets. Recovery of a portion of our deferred tax assets is impacted by management’s plans with respect to holding or disposing
of certain investments; therefore, changes in management’s plans with respect to holding or disposing of investments could affect
our future provision for taxes.

We use a two-step process to recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for
recognition by determining whether, based on the technical merits of the position, the weight of available evidence indicates that it
is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, including resolution of related
appeals or litigation processes, if any. If we determine that a tax position will more likely than not be sustained on examination,
the second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be
realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits,
which may require periodic adjustments and may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. We recognize interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes on the consolidated statements of income. Determining whether
an uncertain tax position is effectively settled requires judgment. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in
the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

We have not recognized U.S. deferred income taxes on certain undistributed non-U.S. earnings because we plan to indefinitely
reinvest such earnings outside the U.S. Remittances of non-U.S. earnings are based on estimates and judgments of projected cash
flow needs, as well as the working capital and investment requirements of our non-U.S. and U.S. operations. Material changes in our
estimates of cash, working capital, and investment needs in various jurisdictions could require repatriation of indefinitely reinvested
non-U.S. earnings, which would be subject to U.S. income taxes and applicable non-U.S. income and withholding taxes.

Loss Contingencies

We are subject to loss contingencies, including various legal and regulatory proceedings, asserted and potential claims, liabilities
related to repair or replacement of parts in connection with product defects, as well as product warranties and potential asset
impairments that arise in the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss from such contingencies is recognized as a charge to
income if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Judgment is
required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable as a critical
accounting estimate. We review the status of each significant matter quarterly and we may revise our estimates.

a $2.0 billion decrease to current deferred tax assets,
a $430 million increase to non-current deferred tax
assets, a $21 million decrease to current deferred tax
liabilities, and a decrease of $1.6 billion to non-current
deferred tax liabilities.

cumulative effect of initially
applying it recognized at the
date of initial application
(“modified retrospective”
approach).

65

Our assessment has identified a change in revenue
recognition timing on our component sales made to
distributors. We expect to recognize revenue when we
deliver to the distributor rather than deferring
recognition until the distributor sells the components.

On the date of initial application, we will remove the
deferred net revenue on component sales made to
distributors through a cumulative adjustment to
retained earnings. We expect the revenue deferral,
historically recognized in the following period, to be
offset by the acceleration of revenue recognition as
control of the product transfers to our customer.

Our assessment has also identified a change in
expense recognition timing related to payments we
make to our customers for distinct services they
perform as part of cooperative advertising
programs. We expect to recognize the expense for
cooperative advertising in the period the marketing
activities occur. We currently recognize the expense in
the period the customer is entitled to participate in the
program, which coincides with the period of sale.

On the date of initial adoption, we will capitalize the
expense of cooperative advertising not performed
through a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.
We expect the recognition of capitalized advertising to
offset the deceleration in expense recognition until the
marketing services are performed.

We will continue our assessment, operate parallel
systems and processes, as well as finalize our
evaluation of any changes to our accounting policies
and disclosures. This excludes our planned divestiture
of Intel Security Group (ISecG).

Standard/Description

Financial Instruments—
Recognition and
Measurement. Requires
changes to the accounting for
financial instruments that
primarily affect equity
investments, financial liabilities
measured using the fair value
option, and the presentation and
disclosure requirements for such
instruments.

Income Taxes—Intra-Entity Asset
Transfers Other Than
Inventory. This accounting
standard update is aimed at
recognizing the income tax
consequences of intra-entity
transfers of assets other than
inventory when they occur. This
removes the exception to
postpone recognition until the
asset has been sold to an outside
party.

Leases. This new lease
accounting standard requires
that we recognize lease assets
and liabilities on the balance
sheet.

Effective Date and Adoption
Considerations

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant
Matters

Effective in the first quarter of
2018.

Certain elements of the new
standard are required to be
adopted using a modified-
retrospective approach through
a cumulative-effect adjustment
to the balance sheet as of the
beginning of the fiscal year of
adoption. Other elements will
be adopted prospectively.

We expect marketable equity securities, previously
classified as available-for-sale equity investments, to
be measured and recorded at fair value and all
unrealized gains or losses previously recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will
be recorded in earnings.

We are continuing to assess the overall impacts of the
new standard, including the impact to our significant
accounting policies with regard to non-marketable
equity securities classified as cost method
investments.

Effective in the first quarter of
2018.

We have not yet determined the impact of the new
standard.

The standard update is required
to be applied on a modified
retrospective basis through a
cumulative-effect adjustment to
the balance sheet as of the
beginning of the fiscal year of
adoption.

Effective in the first quarter of
2019.

The new standard must be
adopted using a modified
retrospective transition that
includes certain optional
practical expedients.

We expect the valuation of right of use assets and
lease liabilities, previously described as operating
leases, to be the present value of our forecasted
future lease commitments. We are continuing to
assess the overall impacts of the new standard,
including the discount rate to be applied in these
valuations.

Note 4: Operating Segments and Geographic Information

Our operating segments as of December 31, 2016 included:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

Client Computing Group (CCG)
Data Center Group (DCG)
Internet of Things Group (IOTG)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

Intel Security Group (ISecG)
Programmable Solutions Group (PSG)
All Other
(cid:129)

New Technology Group (NTG)

During the first quarter of 2016, we formed PSG as a result of our acquisition of Altera Corporation (Altera). For further
information, see “Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures.” All prior-period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect
the way we internally manage and monitor segment performance starting in fiscal year 2016.

In the third quarter of 2016, we announced our planned divestiture of ISecG, which we expect to complete in the second quarter
of 2017. For further information, see “Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures.”

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CODM allocates resources to and
assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss).

We manage our business activities primarily based on a product segmentation basis. We derive a substantial majority of our
revenue from platforms, which is our principal product and source of revenue across our CCG, DCG, and IOTG operating
segments.

CCG and DCG are our reportable operating segments. IOTG, NSG, ISecG, 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. The NTG operating segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as a reportable segment and NTG
results are included within the “all other” category.

We have sales and marketing, manufacturing, engineering, finance, and administration groups. Expenses for these groups are
generally allocated to the operating segments.

The “all other” category includes revenue and expenses such as:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

results of operations from NTG;
amounts included within restructuring and other charges;
a portion of employee benefits, compensation, and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments;
divested businesses for which discrete operating results are not regularly reviewed by our CODM;
results of operations of start-up businesses that support our initiatives, including our foundry business; and
acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill.

The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. Based on the interchangeable nature of our
manufacturing and assembly and test assets, most of the related depreciation expense is not directly identifiable within our
operating segments, as it is included in overhead cost pools and subsequently absorbed into inventory as each product passes
through our manufacturing process. As our products are then sold across multiple operating segments, it is impracticable to
determine the total depreciation expense included as a component of each operating segment’s operating income (loss) results.
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.

and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company on November 1, 2015. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company, HP Inc., and Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Company collectively accounted for 18% of our net revenue (18% in 2014), Dell accounted for 15% (16% in
2014), and Lenovo accounted for 13% (12% in 2014). Combined, these customers accounted for 46% of our net revenue in 2015
(46% in 2014) and 49% of our accounts receivable as of December 26, 2015. Substantially all of the revenue from these

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.

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock from employee 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. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock for our 2005 debentures are
determined by applying the if-converted method. However, as our 2009 debentures require settlement of the principal amount of
the debt in cash upon conversion, with the conversion premium paid in cash or stock at our option, potentially dilutive shares of
common stock are determined by applying the treasury stock method.

In all years presented, potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been antidilutive are insignificant and are excluded
from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

In all years presented, we included our 2009 debentures in the calculation of diluted earnings per share of common stock
because the average market price was above the conversion price. We could potentially exclude the 2009 debentures in the
future if the average market price is below the conversion price.

2016 Restructuring Program

In the second quarter of 2016, our management approved and commenced the 2016 Restructuring Program to accelerate our
transformation from a PC company to one that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices. Under this
program, we are in the process of closing certain facilities and reducing headcount globally to align our operations with evolving
business needs by investing in our growth businesses and improving efficiencies. We expect these actions to be substantially
completed by the second quarter of 2017.

We recorded the additional accruals as restructuring and other charges in the consolidated statements of income and within the
“all other” operating segments category. Substantially all of the accrued restructuring balance as of December 31, 2016 is
expected to be paid within the next 12 months, and was recorded within accrued compensation and benefits on the consolidated
balance sheets. The other charges associated with the program were recorded as an increase to our pension liability and are not
included in our accrued restructuring balance. Restructuring actions related to this program that were approved in 2016 are
expected to impact approximately 15,000 employees.

2015 Restructuring Program

During 2015, management approved and commenced implementation of restructuring actions, primarily targeted workforce
reductions, as we adjusted resources from areas of disinvestment to areas of investment. This program was completed in 2015.

2013 Restructuring Program

During 2013, management approved and commenced implementation of several restructuring actions, including targeted
workforce reductions and the exit of certain businesses and facilities. These actions included the wind down of our 200mm wafer
fabrication facility in Massachusetts and the closure of our assembly and test facility in Costa Rica. This program was completed
in 2015.

Other Charges

Other charges consist primarily of expenses associated with the planned divestiture of ISecG that was announced in the third
quarter of 2016.

The majority of the increase in our effective tax rate in 2016 compared to 2015 was driven by one-time items and our 2015
decision to indefinitely reinvest some of our prior years’ non-U.S. earnings, partially offset by higher proportion of our income in
lower tax jurisdictions.

Most of the decrease in our effective tax rate in 2015 compared to 2014 was driven by one-time items, a higher proportion of our
income from lower tax jurisdictions, and our decision to indefinitely reinvest certain prior years’ non-U.S. earnings, which
positively impacted our effective income tax rate.

Income in certain non-U.S. countries is fully exempt from income taxes for a limited period of time due to eligible activities and
certain capital investment actions. These full tax exemptions expire at various dates through 2023; however, the exemptions in
certain countries are eligible for renewal.

In 2016, the tax benefit attributable to tax holidays was $77 million ($85 million for 2015 and $166 million for 2014) with a $0.02
impact on diluted earnings per share ($0.02 for 2015 and $0.03 for 2014).

During 2016, net income tax benefits attributable to equity-based compensation transactions that were allocated to stockholders’
equity totaled $154 million (net benefits of $172 million in 2015 and net benefits of $103 million in 2014).

Deferred and Current Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and

Deferred tax assets are included within other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2016 included allowances related to unrealized state credit carryforwards of
$839 million and matters related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries of $114 million.

As of December 31, 2016, our federal, state, and non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were
$321 million, $116 million, and $378 million, respectively. The majority of the non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards have no
expiration date. The remaining non-U.S., as well as the U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, expire at various
dates through 2037. A significant amount of the net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. relates to acquisitions and, as a
result, is limited in the amount that can be recognized in any one year. The non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards include
$215 million that is not likely to be recovered and has been reduced by a valuation allowance.

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of December 31, 2016, we had not recognized U.S. deferred income taxes on a cumulative total of $46.4 billion of
undistributed earnings and other basis differences for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries which includes the impact of the Altera
acquisition. Determining the unrecognized deferred tax liability in these non-U.S. subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested is not
practicable. We currently intend to indefinitely reinvest those earnings and other basis differences in operations outside the U.S.

Current income taxes receivable of $86 million as of December 31, 2016 ($468 million as of December 26, 2015) is included in
other current assets. Current income taxes payable of $329 million as of December 31, 2016 ($272 million as of December 26,
2015) is included in other accrued liabilities.

Long-term income taxes payable of $125 million as of December 31, 2016 ($114 million as of December 26, 2015) is included in
other long-term liabilities, which includes uncertain tax positions, reduced by the associated federal deduction for state taxes and
non-U.S. tax credits, and may also include other long-term tax liabilities that are not uncertain but have not yet been paid.

The related tax benefit for settlements, effective settlements, and remeasurements is insignificant for 2016 ($419 million in 2015
and insignificant in 2014).

If the remaining balance of $154 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2016 ($101 million as of December 26,
2015) were recognized in a future period, it would result in a tax benefit of $87 million (insignificant as of December 26, 2015) and
a reduction in the effective tax rate. Interest, penalties and accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits were insignificant
in periods presented.

Our tax policy is to comply with the laws, regulations, and filing requirements of all jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We
regularly engage in discussions and negotiations with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. Although the
timing of the resolutions and/or closures of audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that certain U.S. federal and
non-U.S. tax audits may be concluded within the next 12 months, which could significantly increase or decrease the balance of
our gross unrecognized tax benefits. However, the estimated impact of income tax expense and net income is not expected to be
significant.

We file federal, state, and non-U.S. tax returns. For non-U.S. tax returns, we are generally no longer subject to tax examinations
for years prior to 2002. For federal and state tax returns, we are no longer subject to tax examination for years prior to 2004. We
have filed petitions before the U.S. Tax Court relating to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an inter-company
cost-sharing transaction for certain pre-acquisition Altera tax years; the outcome of those appeals is pending in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Government debt includes instruments such as non-U.S. government bonds and U.S. agency securities. Financial institution
instruments include instruments issued or managed by financial institutions in various forms, such as commercial paper, fixed and
floating-rate bonds, money market fund deposits, and time deposits. Most time deposits were issued by institutions outside the
U.S. as of December 31, 2016 (substantially all as of December 26, 2015).

During 2016, we sold available-for-sale investments for proceeds of $4.1 billion, ($2.2 billion in 2015 and $1.7 billion in 2014). The

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

IM Flash Technologies, LLC

Since the inception of IM Flash Technologies, LLC (IMFT) in 2006, Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron) and Intel have jointly
developed NAND flash memory and, most recently, 3D XPoint technology products. Intel also purchases jointly developed
products directly from Micron under certain supply agreements.

The IMFT operating agreement, most recently amended in January 2016, continues through 2024 unless earlier terminated under
certain terms and conditions, and provides for certain buy-sell rights of the joint venture. Intel has the right to cause Micron to buy
our interest in IMFT. If we exercise this right, Micron would set the closing date of the transaction within two years following such
election and could elect to receive financing from us for one to two years. Subsequent to our put right, and commencing in
January 2019, Micron has the right to call our interest in IMFT with the closing date to be effective within one year.

IMFT is a variable interest entity, and all costs of IMFT are passed on to Micron and Intel through sale of products or services in
proportional share of ownership. Our portion of IMFT costs, primarily related to product purchases and production-related
services, was approximately $400 million in 2016 (approximately $400 million in 2015 and approximately $400 million in 2014).
The amount due to IMFT for product purchases and services provided was approximately $95 million as of December 31, 2016
(approximately $20 million as of December 26, 2015). IMFT returned $71 million to Intel in 2016, which is reflected within
investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows (none in 2015 and $6 million in 2014).

IMFT depends on Micron and Intel for any additional cash needs. Our known maximum exposure to loss approximated the
carrying value of our investment balance in IMFT, which was $849 million as of December 31, 2016. Except for the amount due to
IMFT for product purchases and production-related services, we did not have any additional liabilities recognized on our
consolidated balance sheets in connection with our interests in this joint venture as of December 31, 2016. Our potential future
losses could be higher than the carrying amount of our investment, as Intel and Micron are liable for other future operating costs
or obligations of IMFT. Future cash calls could also increase our investment balance and the related exposure to loss. In addition,
because we are currently committed to purchasing 49% of IMFT’s production output and production-related services, we may be
required to purchase products at a cost in excess of realizable value.

We have determined that we do not have the characteristics of a consolidating investor in the variable interest entity and,
therefore, we account for our interest in IMFT using the equity method of accounting.

Cloudera, Inc.

Our investment in Cloudera, Inc. (Cloudera) is accounted for under the equity and cost methods of accounting based on the rights
associated with different instruments we own, and is classified within other long-term assets. The carrying value of our equity
method investment was $225 million and of our cost method investment was $454 million as of December 31, 2016 ($256 million
for our equity method investment and $454 million for our cost method investment as of December 26, 2015).

Non-marketable Cost Method Investments

The carrying value of our non-marketable cost method investments was $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2016 ($2.9 billion as of
December 26, 2015), of which $454 million and $966 million related to our cost method investments in Cloudera and Beijing
UniSpreadtrum Technology Ltd. (UniSpreadtrum), respectively. In 2016, we recognized impairments of $178 million on
non-marketable cost method investments ($164 million in 2015 and $130 million in 2014).

Beijing UniSpreadtrum Technology Ltd.

During 2014, we entered into a series of agreements with Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. (Tsinghua Unigroup), an operating subsidiary
of Tsinghua Holdings Co. Ltd., to, among other things, jointly develop Intel architecture- and communications-based solutions for
phones. We agreed to invest up to 9.0 billion Chinese yuan (approximately $1.5 billion as of the date of the agreement) for a
minority stake of approximately 20% of UniSpreadtrum, a holding company under Tsinghua Unigroup. During 2015, we invested
$966 million to complete the first phase of the equity investment and accounted for our interest using the cost method of
accounting.

Trading Assets

Net losses related to trading assets still held at the reporting date were $295 million in 2016 (net losses of $152 million in 2015
and net losses of $530 million in 2014). Net gains on the related derivatives were $300 million in 2016 (net gains of $137 million in
2015 and $525 million in 2014).

Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures

Altera Corporation

On December 28, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Altera, a global semiconductor company that designs and sells
programmable semiconductors and related products. We acquired all outstanding shares of Altera common stock and, subject to
certain exceptions, each share of Altera common stock underlying vested stock option awards, RSUs, and performance-based
RSU awards in exchange for cash. The acquired company operates as PSG and continues to design and sell programmable logic
devices (PLDs), which incorporate field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs),
and highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) devices. This acquisition is expected to expand our reach within the compute
continuum, as the combination of our leading-edge products and manufacturing process with Altera’s leading FPGA technology
enables new classes of platforms that meet customer needs in the data center and Internet of Things market segments. As we
develop future platforms, the integration of PLDs into our platform solutions is expected to improve the overall performance and
lower the cost of ownership for our customers. For further information, see “Note 4: Operating Segments and Geographic
Information.”

Total consideration to acquire Altera was $14.5 billion (net of $2.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents acquired) and comprised

Other Acquisitions

During 2016, in addition to the Altera acquisition, we completed 11 acquisitions qualifying as business combinations in exchange
for aggregate consideration (net of cash acquired) of $1.1 billion, most of which was cash. Substantially all of the consideration
was allocated to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

During 2015, we completed eight acquisitions qualifying as business combinations in exchange for aggregate consideration (net
of cash acquired) of $1.0 billion, a substantial majority of which was cash consideration. Substantially all of the consideration was
allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets, such as acquisition-related developed technology and acquisition-related
customer relationships. Included in these acquisitions is our acquisition of Lantiq Semiconductor (Lantiq), intended to extend
Intel’s success in cable home gateways into DSL and fiber markets. We acquired Lantiq in the second quarter of 2015 for net
cash consideration of $345 million, substantially all of which was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets, such as acquisition-
related developed technology and acquisition-related customer relationships. The operating results of Lantiq are included in our
CCG operating segment.

During 2014, we completed eight acquisitions qualifying as business combinations in exchange for aggregate consideration of
$963 million, substantially all cash consideration. A substantial majority of the consideration was allocated to goodwill and
acquisition-related developed technology intangible assets. Included in these acquisitions is our acquisition of the Axxia
Networking Business (Axxia business) of Broadcom Limited (formerly Avago Technologies), intended to accelerate growth in the
mobile wireless base station business. We acquired the Axxia business in the fourth quarter of 2014 for net cash consideration of
$650 million, substantially all of which was allocated to goodwill and acquisition-related developed technology intangible assets.
The operating results of the Axxia business are included in our DCG operating segment.

Other acquisitions (excluding Altera) completed in 2016, 2015, and 2014, both individually and in the aggregate, were not
significant to our results of operations. For information on the assignment of goodwill to our operating segments, see “Note 11:
Goodwill” and for information on the classification of intangible assets, see “Note 12: Identified Intangible Assets.”

Actual and Pro Forma Results of Acquirees

Net revenue and net income attributable to all acquisitions completed during 2016 have been included in our consolidated
statements of income from their respective acquisition dates to the year ended December 31, 2016. The Altera acquisition was
significant to our consolidated results of operations, and these results are reported as PSG in “Note 4: Operating Segments and
Geographic Information.”

The unaudited pro forma financial results combine the historical results of Intel and Altera for 2016 and 2015 along with the
historical results of other businesses acquired during 2016. The results include the effects of pro forma adjustments as if the
businesses acquired in 2016 were acquired at the beginning of Intel’s 2015 fiscal year. The pro forma results for the year ended
December 26, 2015 include non-recurring adjustments of $387 million for the inventory valuation adjustment, $64 million for
deferred income (net of the impact of cost of goods sold) and $94 million for other acquisition-related transaction costs, all of
which reduce pro forma net income.

The unaudited pro forma financial results presented below do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of
the acquisitions. This is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of future operations or results that would
have been achieved had the acquisitions been completed as of the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year.

Planned Divestiture of Intel Security Group

On September 7, 2016, we announced a definitive agreement with TPG VII Manta Holdings, L.P. (TPG) to transfer certain assets
and liabilities relating to ISecG to a newly formed, jointly owned, separate cybersecurity company. The new company will be
called McAfee, LLC. (McAfee) following transaction close, which is expected in the second quarter of 2017.

Under the terms of the agreement, Intel will transfer certain assets and liabilities relating to ISecG, a transaction valued at
approximately $4.2 billion, for consideration of approximately $3.1 billion and a 49% ownership interest in McAfee. Intel will
finance approximately $2.2 billion of the consideration until the debt can be refinanced and repaid by McAfee and TPG. TPG will
own a 51% ownership interest in McAfee.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

During the first quarter of 2016, we completed the acquisition of Altera and formed PSG. The goodwill recognized from this
acquisition was allocated among PSG, DCG, and IOTG based on the relative fair value provided by the acquisition, which
reflected the estimated synergistic value generated within DCG and IOTG by incorporating Altera’s intellectual property into Intel’s
future process technology and products. For further information, see “Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures.”

We previously disclosed the goodwill for ISecG and SSG as part of the aggregated software and services operating segments.
During the first quarter of 2016, we elected to separately disclose the results of ISecG and determined SSG was no longer an
operating segment; accordingly, its goodwill was re-allocated to other operating segments based on the relative fair value.
Additionally, we formed NTG, which includes products designed for wearables, cameras, drones, and other market segments.
The substantial majority of goodwill under “all other” is attributable to NTG, the remainder of which is unallocated from
acquisitions completed in 2016. For further information, see “Note 4: Operating Segments and Geographic Information.”

During the fourth quarters of 2016, 2015, and 2014, we completed our annual impairment assessments and we concluded that
goodwill was not impaired in any of these years. The accumulated impairment losses as of December 31, 2016 were $719 million:
$365 million associated with CCG, $275 million associated with DCG, and $79 million associated with IOTG.

During 2016, we received and transferred $326 million of equipment from pre-payments for property, plant and equipment to
property, plant and equipment. The majority of the equipment was prepaid in 2013 and 2014. We recognized the pre-payments
within operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows when we paid for the equipment, and the receipt of the
equipment is reflected as a non-cash transaction in the current period.

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 $577 million, which effectively converted these notes to
U.S.-dollar-denominated notes. For further discussion on our currency interest rate swaps, see “Note 17: Derivative Financial
Instruments.”

Senior Notes

During the second quarter of 2016, we issued a total of $2.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes to
refinance existing indebtedness, including our 1.95% senior notes due 2016 and a portion of our 1.35% senior notes due 2017.

During the first quarter of 2016, in connection with our completed acquisition of Altera, we acquired a total of $1.5
billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes.

During 2015, we issued a total of $9.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes to fund a portion of the cash
consideration for our acquisition of Altera. For more information on our Altera acquisition, see “Note 10: Acquisitions and
Divestitures.”

All of our senior notes pay a fixed rate of interest semiannually. We may redeem the 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 will effectively rank junior to all liabilities of our
subsidiaries.

Convertible Debentures

In 2009 and 2005, we issued junior subordinated convertible debentures due 2039 (2009 debentures) and 2035 (2005
debentures), respectively. Both the 2009 and 2005 debentures pay a fixed rate of interest semiannually.

The effective interest rate is based on the rate, at inception, for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

2009 Debentures. The 2009 debentures have a contingent interest component that requires us to pay interest based on certain
thresholds or for certain events, commencing on August 1, 2019. After such date, if the 10-day average trading price of $1,000
principal amount of the bond immediately preceding any six-month interest period is less than or equal to $650 or greater than or
equal to $1,500, we are required to pay contingent 0.25% or 0.50% annual interest, respectively.

The 2009 debentures are convertible, subject to certain conditions. Holders can surrender the 2009 debentures for conversion if
the closing price of Intel common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days
during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. We will settle any
conversion of the 2009 debentures in cash up to the face value, and any amount in excess of face value will be settled in cash or
stock at our option. On or after August 5, 2019, we can redeem, for cash, all or part of the 2009 debentures for the principal
amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if the closing price of Intel common stock has been at least 150% of the
conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading-day period. In addition, if certain
events occur in the future, the indenture governing the 2009 debentures provides that each holder of the debentures can, for a
pre-defined period of time, require us to repurchase the holder’s debentures for the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid
interest. The 2009 debentures are subordinated in right of payment to any existing and future senior debt and to the other
liabilities of our subsidiaries. We have concluded that the 2009 debentures are not conventional convertible debt instruments and
that the embedded stock conversion options qualify as derivatives. In addition, we have concluded that the embedded conversion
options would be classified in stockholders’ equity if they were freestanding derivative instruments and are not accounted for
separately as derivative liabilities.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the closing stock price conversion right condition of the 2009 debentures continued to be met
and the debentures will be convertible at the option of the holders during the first quarter of 2017. As a result, the $1.1 billion
carrying amount of the 2009 debentures was classified as short-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
2016 ($1.1 billion as of December 26, 2015). The excess of the amount of cash payable if converted over the carrying amount of
the 2009 debentures of $882 million has been classified as temporary equity on our consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2016 ($897 million as of December 26, 2015). In future periods, if the closing stock price conversion right condition
is no longer met, all outstanding 2009 debentures would be reclassified to long-term debt and the temporary equity would be
reclassified to stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet.

2005 Debentures. The 2005 debentures have a contingent interest component that requires us to pay interest based on certain
thresholds or for certain events. If the 10-day average trading price of $1,000 principal amount of the bond immediately preceding
any six-month interest period is less than or equal to $800 or greater than or equal to $1,300, we are required to pay contingent
0.25% or 0.40% annual interest, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, we met the upside contingent interest threshold for the
six-month interest payment period from December 15, 2016 to June 15, 2017.

The 2005 debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock. Holders can surrender the 2005 debentures for
conversion at any time. We can settle any conversion of the 2005 debentures in cash or stock at our option. The 2005 debentures
become redeemable if the closing price of Intel common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at
least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading-day period. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the closing stock price
redemption right condition of the 2005 debentures was met and we have the option to redeem, for cash, all or part of the 2005
debentures for the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. We currently do not intend to redeem any of the 2005
debentures. In addition, if certain events occur in the future, the indenture governing the 2005 debentures provides that each
holder of the debentures can, for a pre-defined period of time, require us to repurchase the holder’s debentures for the principal
amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The 2005 debentures are subordinated in right of payment to any existing and
future senior debt and to the other liabilities of our subsidiaries. We have concluded that the 2005 debentures are not
conventional convertible debt instruments and that the embedded stock conversion options qualify as derivatives. In addition, we
have concluded that the embedded conversion options would be classified in stockholders’ equity if they were freestanding
derivative instruments and not accounted for separately as derivative liabilities.

1 The unamortized discounts for the 2009 and 2005 debentures are amortized over the remaining life of the debt.

The conversion rate adjusts for certain events outlined in the indentures governing the 2009 and 2005 debentures, such as
quarterly dividend distributions in excess of $0.14 and $0.10 per share for the 2009 and 2005 debentures, respectively, but it
does not adjust for accrued interest. In addition, the conversion rate will increase for a holder of either the 2009 or 2005
debentures who elects to convert the debentures in connection with certain share exchanges, mergers, or consolidations
involving Intel.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we transferred approximately $300 million of assets from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy and approximately $255 million of assets from Level 2 to Level 1 ($628 million of assets from Level 1 to Level 2
and $403 million from Level 2 to Level 1 during 2015). These transfers were based on changes in market activity for the
underlying instruments.

Fair Value Option for Loans Receivable

As of December 31, 2016 and December 26, 2015, the fair value of our loans receivable for which we elected the fair value option
did not significantly differ from the contractual principal balance based on the contractual currency.

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Our non-marketable equity investments; marketable equity method investments; and non-financial assets, such as intangible
assets and property, plant and equipment; are recorded at fair value only if an impairment is recognized.

We classified non-marketable equity investments as Level 3. Impairments recognized on non-marketable equity investments held
as of December 31, 2016 were $153 million in 2016 ($160 million in 2015 on non-marketable equity investments held as of
December 26, 2015 and $128 million in 2014 on non-marketable equity investments held as of December 27, 2014).

The carrying amount and fair value of short-term debt exclude drafts payable. The fair value of our 2009 and 2005 convertible
debentures is determined using discounted cash flow models with observable market inputs, and takes into consideration
variables such as interest rate changes, comparable instruments, subordination discount, and credit-rating changes.

The amortization of pension and postretirement benefit components are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost.
For further information, see “Note 18: Retirement Benefit Plans.” The estimated net prior service costs and net actuarial losses for
the defined-benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit
cost during 2017 are $8 million and $79 million, respectively.

We estimate that we will reclassify approximately $198 million (before taxes) of net derivative losses included in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings within the next 12 months.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into $1.5 billion of forward contracts to hedge our anticipated equity funding of the
UniSpreadtrum investment. The hedges were designated as cash flow hedges and the related gains and losses attributable to
changes in the spot rates were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Hedge gains and losses
attributable to changes in the forward rates were recognized in interest and other, net. During 2015, we discontinued cash flow
hedge accounting treatment for $478 million of forward contracts since we could no longer assert that funding is probable to occur
within the initially specified timeline. Hedge losses accumulated in other comprehensive income and subsequently released to
interest and other, net, related to these de-designated forward contracts were insignificant.

During 2016 and 2015, we entered into $4.7 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively, of interest rate swaps to hedge against changes
in the fair value attributable to the benchmark interest rates related to $9.1 billion of our outstanding senior notes. These hedges
were designated as fair value hedges. During 2015, we entered into $577 million of currency interest rate swaps to hedge against
the variability in the U.S.-dollar equivalent of coupon and principal payments associated with our non-U.S.-dollar-denominated
indebtedness. These hedges were designated as cash flow hedges.

Note 18: Retirement Benefit Plans

Retirement Contribution Plans

We provide tax-qualified retirement contribution plans for the benefit of eligible employees, former employees, and retirees in the
U.S. and certain other countries. The plans are designed to provide employees with an accumulation of funds for retirement on a
tax-deferred basis. Employees hired prior to January 1, 2011 are eligible for and receive discretionary employer contributions in
the U.S. Intel Retirement Contribution Plan. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2011 receive discretionary employer
contributions in the Intel 401(k) Savings Plan, which are participant-directed. Our CEO determines the annual discretionary
employer contribution amounts for the U.S. Intel Retirement Contribution Plan and the Intel 401(k) Savings Plan under delegation
of authority from our Board of Directors, pursuant to the terms of the plans. Effective January 1, 2015, the U.S. Intel Retirement
Contribution plan assets and future discretionary employer contributions are participant-directed.

For the benefit of eligible U.S. employees, we also provide a non-tax-qualified supplemental deferred compensation plan for
certain highly compensated employees. This plan is designed to permit certain discretionary employer contributions and to permit
employees to defer a portion of compensation in addition to their Intel 401(k) Savings Plan deferrals. This plan is unfunded.

We expensed $326 million for the qualified and non-qualified U.S. retirement contribution plans in 2016 ($337 million in 2015 and
$286 million in 2014). In the first quarter of 2017, we funded $314 million for the 2016 contributions to the qualified U.S. retirement
contribution plans.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

U.S. Pension Benefits. For employees hired prior to January 1, 2011, we provide a tax-qualified defined-benefit pension plan, the
U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan, for eligible employees, former employees, and retirees in the U.S. Beginning on January 1,
2015, future benefit accruals in the U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan were frozen to all employees at or above a specific grade
level, and generally covering all highly compensated employees in the plan. Beginning in 2016, the impacted employees received
discretionary employer contributions in the Intel 401(k) Savings Plan, instead of the U.S. Intel Retirement Contribution Plan. This
change was contingent on receiving a favorable private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which we
received in October 2014. As a result, our projected benefit obligation was reduced by $1.1 billion in 2014, most of which was
also included as a change in actuarial valuation on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan benefit is determined by a participant’s years of service and final average compensation, as
defined by the plan document. The plan generates a minimum pension benefit if the participant’s U.S. Intel Minimum Pension
Plan benefit exceeds the annuitized value of the employee’s U.S. Intel Retirement Contribution Plan benefit. If participant
balances in the U.S. Intel Retirement Contribution Plan do not grow sufficiently, the projected benefit obligation of the U.S. Intel
Minimum Pension Plan could increase significantly. Consistent with applicable law, assets of the U.S. Intel Minimum Pension
Plan are held in trust, solely for the benefit of plan participants, and are not available for general corporate purposes.

Non-U.S. Pension Benefits. We also provide defined-benefit pension plans in certain other countries, most significantly Ireland,
Germany, and Israel. Consistent with the requirements of local law, we deposit funds for certain plans with insurance companies,
with third-party trustees, or into government-managed accounts, and/or accrue for the unfunded portion of the obligation.

U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefits. Upon retirement, eligible U.S. employees who were hired prior to January 1, 2014 are
credited with a defined dollar amount, based on years of service, into a U.S. Sheltered Employee Retirement Medical Account
(SERMA). These credits can be used to pay all or a portion of the cost to purchase coverage in the retiree’s choice of medical
plan. If the available credits are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of the coverage, the remaining cost is the retiree’s
responsibility. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2014 are not eligible to earn a SERMA benefit.

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Funding Policy. Our practice is to fund the various pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the minimum requirements of
applicable local laws and regulations. Additional funding may be provided as deemed appropriate. Funding for the U.S.
postretirement medical benefits plan is discretionary under applicable laws and regulations; additional funding may be provided
as deemed appropriate. Depending on the design of the plan, local customs, and market circumstances, the liabilities of a plan
may exceed qualified plan assets.

Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets

The vested benefit obligation for a defined benefit pension plan is the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which the
employee is currently entitled based on the employee’s expected date of separation or retirement. The changes in the projected
benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets at the end of each period for the plans described above were as follows:

We use a corridor approach to amortize actuarial gains and losses. Under this approach, net actuarial gains or losses in excess
of 10% of the larger of the projected benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The
period of amortization is the average remaining service of active participants who are expected to receive benefits under the
plans.

As of December 31, 2016, the accumulated benefit obligation was $1.3 billion for the U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan
($899 million as of December 26, 2015) and $1.7 billion for the non-U.S. defined-benefit pension plans ($1.6 billion as of
December 26, 2015). Included in the aggregate data in the following tables are the amounts applicable to our pension plans with
accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets, as well as plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan
assets. Amounts related to such plans at the end of each period were as follows:

On a worldwide basis, our pension and postretirement benefit plans were 50% funded as of December 31, 2016. The U.S. Intel
Minimum Pension Plan, which accounts for 33% of the worldwide pension and postretirement benefit obligations, was 57%
funded. Funded status is not indicative of our ability to pay ongoing pension benefits or of our obligation to fund retirement trusts.
Required pension funding for U.S. retirement plans is determined in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act (ERISA), which sets required minimum contributions. Cumulative company funding to the U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan
currently exceeds the minimum ERISA funding requirements.

For the U.S. plans, we developed the discount rate by calculating the benefit payment streams by year to determine when benefit
payments will be due. We then matched the benefit payment streams by year to the AA corporate bond rates to match the timing
and amount of the expected benefit payments, and discounted back to the measurement date to determine the appropriate
discount rate. For the non-U.S. plans, we used two approaches to develop the discount rate. In certain countries, we used a
model consisting of a theoretical bond portfolio for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximated the estimated benefit
payments of our pension plans. In other countries, we analyzed current market long-term bond rates and matched the bond
maturity with the average duration of the pension liabilities.

We establish the long-term expected rate of return by developing a forward-looking, long-term return assumption for each pension
fund asset class, taking into account factors such as the expected real return for the specific asset class and inflation. A single,
long-term rate of return is then calculated as the weighted average of the target asset allocation percentages and the long-term
return assumption for each asset class.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost

In 2016, the net periodic benefit cost for U.S. pension benefits, non-U.S. pension benefits, and U.S. postretirement medical
benefits was $134 million ($26 million in 2015 and $36 million in 2014), $225 million ($198 million in 2015 and $165 million in
2014) and $56 million ($26 million in 2015 and $17 million in 2014), respectively.

The increase in the U.S. net periodic pension benefit cost in 2016 compared to 2015 is primarily attributed to plan settlement and
remeasurement in conjunction with our 2016 Restructuring Program. For more information on the 2016 Restructuring Program,
see “Note 7: Restructuring and Other Charges.”

U.S. Pension Plan Assets

In general, the investment strategy for U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan assets is to maximize risk-adjusted returns, taking into
consideration the investment horizon and expected volatility to help ensure that sufficient assets are available to pay pension
benefits as they come due. The allocation to each asset class will fluctuate with market conditions, such as volatility and liquidity
concerns, and will typically be rebalanced when outside the target ranges, which were 45% for equity investments and 55% for
fixed-income investments in 2016. For 2017, the expected long-term rate of return for the U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan assets
is 4.9%.

Substantially all of the fixed income investments in the preceding table are asset-backed securities, corporate debt, and
government debt. Government debt includes instruments such as non-U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, and
U.S. treasury securities.

The assets measured at net asset value are invested in common collective trust funds, limited partnerships, and limited liability
companies.

Non-U.S. Plan Assets

The investments of the non-U.S. plans are managed by insurance companies, pension funds, or third-party trustees, consistent
with regulations or market practice of the country where the assets are invested. The investment manager makes investment
decisions within the guidelines set by Intel or local regulations. The investment manager evaluates performance by comparing the
actual rate of return to the return on similar assets. Investments managed by qualified insurance companies or pension funds
under standard contracts follow local regulations, and we are not actively involved in their investment strategies. For the assets
that we have discretion to set investment guidelines, the assets are invested in developed country equity investments and fixed-
income investments, either through index funds or direct investment. In general, the investment strategy is designed to
accumulate a diversified portfolio among markets, asset classes, or individual securities to reduce market risk and to help ensure
that the pension assets are available to pay benefits as they come due. The target allocation of the non-U.S. plan assets that we
have control over is 55% equity investments and 45% fixed-income investments. For 2017, the average expected long-term rate
of return for the non-U.S. plan assets is 4.3%.

Non-U.S. plan assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following investment categories at the end of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Most of the equity investments in the preceding table are invested in a diversified mix of equities of developed countries, including
the U.S., and emerging markets throughout the world.

We have control over the majority of the assets measured at net asset value, which are invested in hedge funds, bond index, and
equity index funds.

U.S. Postretirement Medical Plan Assets

In general, the investment strategy for U.S. postretirement medical benefits plan assets is to invest primarily in liquid assets, due
to the level of expected future benefit payments. The assets are invested solely in a tax-aware global equity portfolio, which is
actively managed by an external investment manager. The tax-aware global equity portfolio is composed of a diversified mix of
equities in developed countries. For 2017, the expected long-term rate of return for the U.S. postretirement medical benefits plan
assets is 6.5%. As of December 31, 2016, substantially all of the U.S. postretirement medical benefits plan assets were invested
in exchange-traded equity securities and were measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.

Concentrations of Risk

We manage a variety of risks, including credit, liquidity, and market risks, across our plan assets through our investment
managers. We define a concentration of risk as an undiversified exposure to one of the aforementioned risks that unnecessarily
increases the exposure to a loss of plan assets. We monitor exposure to such risks in both the U.S. and non-U.S. plans by
monitoring the magnitude of the risk in each plan and diversifying our exposure to such risks across a variety of counterparties,
instruments, and markets. As of December 31, 2016, we did not have concentrations of risk in any single entity, manager,
counterparty, sector, industry, or country.

Funding Expectations

Under applicable law for the U.S. Intel Minimum Pension Plan, we are not required to make any contributions during 2017. Our
expected required funding for the non-U.S. plans during 2017 is approximately $36 million.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

Note 19: Employee Equity Incentive Plans

Our equity incentive plans are broad-based, long-term programs intended to attract and retain talented employees and align
stockholder and employee interests.

Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan), 753 million shares of common stock are authorized for issuance as equity
awards to employees and non-employee directors through June 2018. As of December 31, 2016, 216.5 million shares of common
stock remained available for issuance under the 2006 Plan.

In connection with our completed acquisition of Altera in the first quarter of 2016, we assumed two equity incentive plans with
outstanding unvested stock options and RSUs. The assumed stock options and RSUs generally retained the terms and
conditions under which they were originally granted. We will not grant additional shares under these assumed plans.

We grant RSUs with both a market condition and a service condition (market-based RSUs), referred to in our Proxy Statement as
outperformance stock units (OSUs), to a group of senior officers, employees, and non-employee directors. For OSUs granted in
2016, the number of shares of our common stock to be received at vesting will range from 0% to 200% of the target amount,
based on total stockholder return (TSR) on our common stock measured against the benchmark TSR of a peer group over a
three-year period. TSR is a measure of stock price appreciation plus any dividends paid in this performance period. As of
December 31, 2016, 6.7 million OSUs were outstanding. These OSUs accrue dividend equivalents and generally vest three years
and one month from the grant date. RSU and option awards generally vest over four years from the grant date. Stock options
generally expire seven years from the date of grant.

The 2006 Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at 85% of the value of our
common stock on specific dates. Under the 2006 Stock Purchase Plan, 373 million shares of common stock are authorized for
issuance through August 2021. As of December 31, 2016, 164.8 million shares of common stock remained available for issuance
under the 2006 Stock Purchase Plan.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation recognized in 2016 was $1.4 billion ($1.3 billion in 2015 and $1.1 billion in 2014).

The total share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory as of December 31, 2016 was $44 million ($49 million
as of December 26, 2015 and $39 million as of December 27, 2014). During 2016, the tax benefit that we realized for the tax
deduction from share-based awards totaled $616 million ($533 million in 2015 and $555 million in 2014).

We estimate the fair value of RSUs with time-based vesting using the value of our common stock on the date of grant, reduced by
the present value of dividends expected to be paid on our shares of common stock prior to vesting. We estimate the fair value of
OSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of rights to acquire shares of common stock granted
under the 2006 Stock Purchase Plan on the date of the grant. We based the weighted average estimated value of RSU and OSU
grants and rights granted under the 2006 Stock Purchase Plan on the weighted average assumptions for each period as follows:

The aggregate fair value of awards that vested in 2016 was $1.6 billion ($1.5 billion in 2015 and $1.1 billion in 2014), which
represents the market value of our common stock on the date that the RSUs vested. The grant-date fair value of awards that
vested in 2016 was $1.3 billion ($1.1 billion in 2015 and $949 million in 2014). The number of RSUs vested includes shares of
common stock that we withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. RSUs that
are expected to vest are net of estimated future forfeitures.

As of December 31, 2016, unrecognized compensation costs related to RSUs granted under our equity incentive plans were

outstanding that are expected to vest are net of estimated future option forfeitures.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock option exercises in 2016 was $453 million ($284 million in 2015 and $611 million in 2014),
which represents the difference between the exercise price and the value of our common stock at the time of exercise. During
2016, 34.1 million options were exercised with a weighted average exercise price of $20.43. Stock option grants were insignificant
in all years during the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, 19.6 million options were
outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $23.73 (54.2 million outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of
$21.65 as of December 26, 2015). The weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options is 2.2 years. These
options will expire if they are not exercised by specific dates through May 2023.

obligations and commitments totaled approximately $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2016 (approximately $4.0 billion as of
December 26, 2015). Other purchase obligations and commitments include payments due under various types of licenses and
agreements to purchase goods or services, as well as payments due under non-contingent funding obligations. In addition, we
have various contractual commitments with Micron and IMFT. For further information on these contractual commitments, see
“Note 9: Investments.”

During 2012, we entered into a series of agreements with ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) intended to accelerate the development of
extreme ultraviolet lithography projects and deep ultraviolet immersion lithography projects, including generic developments
applicable to both 300mm and 450mm. Certain of these agreements were amended in 2014. Under the amended agreements,
Intel agreed to provide R&D funding totaling €829 million over five years and committed to advance purchase orders for a
specified number of tools from ASML. Our remaining obligation, contingent upon ASML achieving certain milestones, is
approximately €193 million, or $202 million, as of December 31, 2016. As our obligation is contingent upon ASML achieving
certain milestones, we have excluded this obligation from other purchase obligations and commitments.

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.

Government Competition Matters and Consumer Class Actions

In 2001, the European Commission (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 which favored Intel on a
number of grounds, with the 25-judge grand chamber’s decision expected in the first half of 2017.

At least 82 separate class-action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern District of California, Southern
District of California, District of Idaho, District of Nebraska, District of New Mexico, District of Maine, and District of Delaware, as
well as in various California, Kansas, and Tennessee state courts. These actions generally repeat the allegations made in a
now-settled lawsuit filed against us by AMD in June 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (AMD litigation).
Like the AMD litigation, these class-action lawsuits allege that we engaged in various actions in violation of the Sherman Act and
other laws by, among other things: providing discounts and rebates to our manufacturer and distributor customers conditioned on
exclusive or near-exclusive dealing that allegedly unfairly interfered with AMD’s ability to sell its microprocessors; interfering with
certain AMD product launches; and interfering with AMD’s participation in certain industry standards-setting groups. The class
actions allege various consumer injuries, including that consumers in various states have been injured by paying higher prices for
computers containing our microprocessors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

All of the federal and state class actions other than the California class actions were transferred by the Multidistrict Litigation
Panel to the U.S. District Court in Delaware for all pre-trial proceedings and discovery (MDL proceedings). The Delaware district
court appointed a Special Master to address issues in the MDL proceedings, as assigned by the court. In July 2010, the Special
Master denied the MDL plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of members who purchased certain personal computers containing
products sold by us. In July 2014, the district court affirmed the Special Master’s ruling and issued an order denying the MDL
plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. In August 2014, plaintiffs filed a petition for interlocutory appeal of the district court’s
decision with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which the Third Circuit denied in October 2014. In December 2014,
we filed a motion for summary judgment on the claims of the remaining individual plaintiffs. We subsequently negotiated a
settlement of the claims and the case was dismissed in September 2015.

All California class actions were consolidated in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County. In March 2008, the
plaintiffs in the California actions moved for class certification, which we opposed. In February 2015, the court granted plaintiffs’
request for leave to retain a new expert and to amend their previous motion for class certification. In March 2016, the court denied
plaintiffs’ amended class certification motion, and plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration. The parties subsequently agreed to
settle the case, and the lawsuit was dismissed in July 2016.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation regarding In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation

In March 2014, the Police Retirement System of St. Louis (PRSSL) filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of
California in Santa Clara County against Intel, certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, and a current officer.
The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their duties to the company by participating in, or allowing, purported antitrust
violations which were alleged in a now-settled antitrust class action lawsuit captioned In re High Tech Employee Antitrust
Litigation claiming that Intel, Adobe Systems Incorporated, Apple Inc., Google Inc., Intuit Inc., Lucasfilm Ltd., and Pixar conspired
to suppress their employees’ compensation. In March 2014, a second plaintiff, Barbara Templeton, filed a substantially similar
derivative suit in the same court. In May 2014, a third shareholder, Robert Achermann, filed a substantially similar derivative
action in the same court. The court consolidated the three actions into one, which is captioned In re Intel Corporation Shareholder
Derivative Litigation. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in July 2014. In August 2015, the court granted our motion to dismiss
the consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs thereafter filed a motion for reconsideration and a motion for new trial, both of which the
court denied in October 2015. In November 2015, plaintiffs PRSSL and Templeton appealed the court’s decision.

In June 2015, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) filed a shareholder derivative action in the Chancery
Court in Delaware against Intel, certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, and a current officer. The lawsuit
makes allegations that are substantially similar to those in the California shareholder derivative litigation described above, but
contain additional allegations regarding breach of the duty of disclosure surrounding the In re High Tech Employee Antitrust
Litigation and that Intel’s 2013 and 2014 proxy statements were false and misleading in that they misrepresented the
effectiveness of the Board’s oversight of compliance issues at Intel and the Board’s compliance with Intel’s Code of Conduct and
Board of Director Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues. In October 2015, the court stayed the IBEW lawsuit for
six months pending further developments in the California case. In March 2016, Intel and IBEW entered into a stipulated
dismissal pursuant to which IBEW dismissed its complaint but may re-file upon the withdrawal or final resolution of the appeal in
the PRSSL California shareholder derivative litigation.

In April 2016, John Esposito filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County against
Intel, current members of our Board, and certain former officers and employees. Esposito made a demand on our Board in 2013
to investigate whether our officers or directors should be sued for their participation in the events described in In re High Tech
Employee Antitrust Litigation. In November 2015, our Board decided not to take further action on Esposito’s demand based on
the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board after its investigation of relevant facts and circumstances. Esposito
seeks to set aside such decision, and alleges that the Board was not disinterested in making that decision and that the
investigation was inadequate. In August 2016, Intel filed a motion to dismiss Esposito’s complaint. In November 2016, the court
granted Intel’s motion to dismiss the case, without leave to amend. Esposito may appeal this decision.

INTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

McAfee, Inc. Shareholder Litigation

On August 19, 2010, we announced that we had agreed to acquire all of the common stock of McAfee, Inc. (McAfee) for $48.00
per share. Four McAfee shareholders filed putative class action lawsuits in Santa Clara County, California Superior Court
challenging the proposed transaction. The cases were ordered consolidated in September 2010. Plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint that named former McAfee board members, McAfee, and Intel as defendants, and alleged that the McAfee board
members breached their fiduciary duties and that McAfee and Intel aided and abetted those breaches of duty. The complaint
requested rescission of the merger agreement, such other equitable relief as the court may deem proper, and an award of
damages in an unspecified amount. In June 2012, the plaintiffs’ damages expert asserted that the value of a McAfee share for the
purposes of assessing damages should be $62.08.

In January 2012, the court certified the action as a class action, appointed the Central Pension Laborers’ Fund to act as the class
representative, and scheduled trial to begin in January 2013. In March 2012, defendants filed a petition with the California Court
of Appeal for a writ of mandate to reverse the class certification order; the petition was denied in June 2012. In March 2012, at
defendants’ request, the court held that plaintiffs were not entitled to a jury trial and ordered a bench trial. In April 2012, plaintiffs
filed a petition with the California Court of Appeal for a writ of mandate to reverse that order, which the court of appeal denied in
July 2012. In August 2012, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. The trial court granted that motion in November
2012, and entered final judgment in the case in February 2013. In April 2013, plaintiffs appealed the final judgment. Intel, McAfee,
and McAfee’s board of directors filed an opposition to plaintiff’s appeal in December 2014. Because the resolution of the appeal
may materially impact the scope and nature of the proceeding, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss
or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter. We dispute the class-action claims and intend to continue to defend the lawsuit
vigorously.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our CEO and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)), as of the end of the
period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(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 December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial
reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, the end of our fiscal year.
Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Management’s assessment included evaluation of
elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting
policies, and our overall control environment.

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the
end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We reviewed the results of
management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, independently assessed the effectiveness of the
company’s internal control over financial reporting, as stated in the firm’s attestation report, which is included within Part II, Item 8
of this Form 10-K.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, 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. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
