Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 7, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce informed Intel Corporation (the "Company") that it was revoking certain licenses for exports of consumer-related items to a customer in China, effective immediately. As a result, the Company expects revenue for the second quarter of 2024 to remain in the original range of $12.5 billion to $13.5 billion, but below the midpoint. For full year 2024, the Company continues to expect revenue and earnings per share to grow year-over-year compared to 2023.
The information in this Item 7.01 of this report is furnished and shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
