Quarter Overview

  • Q4 2025 revenue was $13.7B, at the high end of guidance and up from prior expectations. This marks Intel’s fifth consecutive quarter beating its guidance.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin was 37.9%, about 140 basis points above guidance and an improvement from earlier quarters due to higher revenue and lower inventory reserves.
  • Non-GAAP EPS was $0.15, beating guidance of $0.08, driven by revenue upside, gross margin strength, and reduced spending.
  • Operating cash flow reached $4.3B, with adjusted free cash flow positive at $2.2B.

Full-Year 2025 Highlights

  • Full-year revenue was $52.9B, slightly down year-over-year, largely due to manufacturing and supplier constraints limiting second-half growth.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin for 2025 improved to 36.7%, up 70 basis points year-over-year.
  • Non-GAAP EPS rose to $0.42, up $0.55 from 2024 due to improved operating leverage and reduced period charges.
  • OpEx fell 15% to $16.5B as part of restructuring and organizational simplification efforts.
  • Intel exited the year with $37.4B in cash/short-term investments, strengthened by Mobileye monetization, the Altera stake sale, and strategic investments from NVIDIA and SoftBank.
