  • I'd like to begin my comments today with a few thoughts on the restructuring of our joint development relationship and joint manufacturing relationship with Intel before commenting briefly on market conditions and then looping back to highlight some of the technology and business unit accomplishments during this quarter.

    我想在今天開始我的評論,先談談我們與英特爾的聯合開發關係和聯合製造關係的重組,然後簡要評論市場狀況,然後回顧本季度的一些技術和業務部門的成就.

  • Micron's partnership with Intel on NAND Flash is, of course, a very important relationship for us, as well as a significant piece of our business.

    當然,美光與英特爾在 NAND 閃存上的合作對我們來說是非常重要的關係,也是我們業務的重要組成部分。

  • As many of you are aware, we reached definitive agreements this quarter to restructure and rejuvenate that partnership and as part of that process we agreed to purchase Intel share of the output from the jointly owned NAND operations in both Manassas, Virginia and IMFS Singapore.

    正如你們中的許多人所知,我們在本季度達成了最終協議,以重組和振興這種合作夥伴關係,作為該過程的一部分,我們同意購買英特爾在弗吉尼亞州馬納薩斯和 IMFS 新加坡的共同擁有的 NAND 業務的產出份額。

  • The purchase capacity was roughly 30,000 wafers per month.

    採購能力約為每月 30,000 片晶圓。

  • Micron will sell a portion of those wafers back to Intel under a for profit take-or-pay supply agreement.

    美光將根據獲利了結或支付的供應協議將部分晶圓賣回給英特爾。

  • The incremental profit capacity, along with the completion of the initial ramp of the new fab in Singapore, will lead to structural margin improvement going forward.

    盈利能力的增加,以及新加坡新晶圓廠初始階段的完成,將導致未來的結構性利潤率改善。

  • The life of the remaining joint venture facility, which is in Lehi, Utah, was extended to 2024.

    位於猶他州李海的剩餘合資工廠的使用壽命已延長至 2024 年。

  • The scope of our technology relationship was expanded to include certain memory technologies beyond the floating gate and NAND products we had been historically been working on together.

    我們的技術關係範圍擴大到包括浮柵之外的某些內存技術和我們一直在合作開發的 NAND 產品。

  • I think in summary, both partners consider the relationship to date highly successful and we're both very excited to be carrying this relationship on into the future.

    我認為總而言之,雙方都認為迄今為止的關係非常成功,我們都非常高興能將這種關係延續到未來。

  • On the technology development front, we had a strong quarter.

    在技術開發方面,我們有一個強勁的季度。

  • We were excited to complete the construction of the new addition to our R&D clean room in Boise, Idaho and began installing tools there to support our leading edge NAND, DRAM, NOR and phase-change memory nodes, as well as a number of interesting new emerging memory technologies.

    我們很高興在愛達荷州博伊西完成新的研發潔淨室的建設,並開始在那里安裝工具以支持我們領先的 NAND、DRAM、NOR 和相變存儲器節點,以及一些有趣的新新興的內存技術。

  • We made good progress on our next two NAND technology nodes in the development fab, as well as our 20-nanometer DRAM node.

    我們在開發工廠的下兩個 NAND 技術節點以及 20 納米 DRAM 節點上取得了良好進展。

  • We also made progress scaling up to 300-millimeter substrates on a 45-nanometer NOR process.

    我們還在 45 納米 NOR 工藝上將基板擴展到 300 毫米。

  • And in developing a new 300-millimeter phase-change memory process.

    並在開發新的 300 毫米相變存儲器工藝。

  • Moving forward, we look to deploy both of these new 300-millimeter NOR and phase-change processes in manufacturing fabs over the next year.

    展望未來,我們希望明年在製造工廠中部署這些新的 300 毫米 NOR 和相變工藝。

  • In manufacturing, we had a nice quarter relative to production ramp and yield execution.

    在製造業中,相對於產量和產量執行而言,我們有一個不錯的季度。

  • I'm sure Ron will comment in more detail shortly, but a couple highlights of note are the completion of the ramp to roughly 70,000 wafers per month of IMFS in Singapore and the 30-nanometer DRAM node introduction and successful early ramp at Inotera.

    我相信 Ron 很快會更詳細地發表評論,但有幾個值得注意的亮點是新加坡 IMFS 完成了每月約 70,000 片晶圓的升級,以及 Inotera 的 30 納米 DRAM 節點引入和成功的早期升級。

  • We also have good early 30-nanometer yield out of the DRAM fab in Singapore.

    我們在新加坡的 DRAM 工廠也有良好的早期 30 納米良率。

  • In aggregate, we now have successful transfer of that 30-nanometer node into all Micron DRAM fabs.

    總的來說,我們現在已經成功地將 30 納米節點轉移到所有美光 DRAM 工廠。

  • Additionally, it's worth noting that we can now ship 20-nanometer NAND out of all three Micron NAND fabs, the two wholly owned ones as well as the joint fab in Lehi.

    此外,值得注意的是,我們現在可以從所有三個美光 NAND 晶圓廠、兩個全資擁有的晶圓廠以及位於 Lehi 的聯合晶圓廠出貨 20 納米 NAND。

  • Overall, we had strong bit growth and cost reduction in both NAND and DRAM during the quarter.

    總體而言,本季度我們的 NAND 和 DRAM 的比特數增長強勁,成本降低。

  • Switching now briefly to markets and our products.

    現在簡要切換到市場和我們的產品。

  • The second quarter was obviously a weaker environment for pricing than we would have liked.

    第二季度的定價環境顯然比我們希望的要弱。

  • Mark Adams, I think, will likely comment more in Q&A, but seasonal factors combined with supply chain disruptions due to the Thailand flooding, as well as I think general slower economic activity all had an impact.

    我認為馬克亞當斯可能會在問答中發表更多評論,但季節性因素加上泰國洪水造成的供應鏈中斷,以及我認為總體經濟活動放緩都會產生影響。

  • Recently we're seeing improvements in the DRAM market.

    最近,我們看到 DRAM 市場有所改善。

  • While we don't predict what's going to happen going forward, depending on application, I think concerns over supply seem to be having a positive or at least stabilizing effect on OEM pricing.

    雖然我們不預測未來會發生什麼,但取決於應用,我認為對供應的擔憂似乎對 OEM 定價產生積極或至少穩定的影響。

  • For NAND, the mix of high density 2- and 3-bit-per-cell, as well as seasonal demand weakness, drove ASPs lower during the quarter.

    對於 NAND,高密度 2 位和 3 位/單元的混合,以及季節性需求疲軟,導致本季度平均售價下降。

  • While we were able to offset most or all of this with cost reductions, we did suffer some degradation of NAND margins due to sell-through of Numonyx legacy NAND products which had been purchased in the market at market prices.

    雖然我們能夠通過降低成本來抵消大部分或全部損失,但由於以市場價格在市場上購買的恆憶傳統 NAND 產品的銷售量,我們確實遭受了 NAND 利潤率的一些下降。

  • Overall, we see generally healthy supply/demand outlook for NAND moving forward as measured industry fab ramps are offset by anticipated demand growth in a number of key markets like smartphones, tablets and SSDs.

    總體而言,我們認為 NAND 的供需前景總體健康,因為衡量的行業晶圓廠產量增長被智能手機、平板電腦和 SSD 等許多主要市場的預期需求增長所抵消。

  • Wireless NOR, on the other hand, volumes continue to decline in the wireless space with the transition from feature to smartphones.

    另一方面,無線 NOR 隨著從功能到智能手機的轉變,無線領域的銷量繼續下降。

  • Embedded NOR, however, remained strong and we see long-term effective margins and share gain opportunities in that space.

    然而,嵌入式 NOR 仍然強勁,我們看到了該領域的長期有效利潤率和份額增長機會。

  • In the product area, highlights for the quarter include continued success with Hybrid Memory Cube enablement and design in activities across high performance computing, including high end server applications, as well as across networking.

    在產品領域,本季度的亮點包括在跨高性能計算(包括高端服務器應用程序以及跨網絡)的活動中啟用混合內存立方體和設計的持續成功。

  • Good success with all three design wins across a number of different networking companies.

    這三種設計在許多不同的網絡公司中都取得了良好的成功。

  • Strong design in activity of embedded NOR in both automotive and amusement markets.

    嵌入式 NOR 在汽車和娛樂市場的強大設計。

  • Additionally, relative to NOR, we're now shipping the industry's broadest portfolio of SPI NOR products.

    此外,相對於 NOR,我們現在提供業界最廣泛的 SPI NOR 產品組合。

  • We saw good growth in mobile DRAM bit shipments in a roughly 20% range, and we're seeing early signs of design in acceleration given some of the challenges some of our competitors are facing.

    我們看到移動 DRAM 位出貨量在大約 20% 的範圍內實現了良好的增長,鑑於我們的一些競爭對手面臨的一些挑戰,我們看到了加速設計的早期跡象。

  • Finally, in NAND during the quarter, we shipped engineering samples of our 3-bit-per-cell 20-nanometer 128 gigabit NAND Flash to enabling controller vendors.

    最後,在本季度的 NAND 方面,我們向控制器供應商提供了每單元 3 位 20 納米 128 Gb NAND 閃存的工程樣品。

  • We shipped over 0.5 million solid state drives and finally we were permanently endorsed by both EMC as a preferred partner for PCIe SSDs and their VF Cache product, as well as by Dell for their PowerEdge servers with express/PCIe SSDs.

    我們運送了超過 50 萬個固態驅動器,最終我們被 EMC 永久認可為 PCIe SSD 及其 VF Cache 產品的首選合作夥伴,以及戴爾為其配備 express/PCIe SSD 的 PowerEdge 服務器永久認可。

  • In reference to consolidation, I think I'll just close by trying to preempt some of the questions.

    關於合併,我想我會先嘗試搶占一些問題來結束。

  • Noting that as usual, we don't comment on rumors and speculation in the press.

    請注意,像往常一樣,我們不對媒體的謠言和猜測發表評論。

  • As we've said consistently in the past, we'll be evaluating market situations as they develop and look for opportunities to strengthen Micron's competitive position.

    正如我們過去一直所說的那樣,我們將在市場發展時評估市場情況,並尋找機會加強美光的競爭地位。

  • With that, let me turn it over to Ron.

    有了這個,讓我把它交給羅恩。

  • - CFO, VP - Finance

    - CFO, VP - Finance

  • The Company's second quarter of fiscal 2012 ended on March 1.

    公司 2012 財年第二季度於 3 月 1 日結束。

  • As usual, we provide a schedule containing certain key results for the quarter, as well as certain guidance for the next quarter.

    像往常一樣,我們提供了一個時間表,其中包含本季度的某些關鍵結果,以及下一季度的某些指導。

  • The materials presented on the few slides that follow, as well as on our website.

    以下幾張幻燈片以及我們的網站上提供的材料。

  • The second quarter results posted a net loss of $224 million, or $0.23 per share, on net sales of $2.067 billion.

    第二季度業績淨虧損 2.24 億美元,即每股 0.23 美元,淨銷售額為 20.67 億美元。

  • Total sales in the second quarter were relatively flat compared to the prior quarter, reflecting slightly higher NAND and DRAM sales that were more than offset by the lower sales of NOR products, as Mark mentioned.

    正如 Mark 所說,與上一季度相比,第二季度的總銷售額相對持平,反映出 NAND 和 DRAM 銷售額略高,但被 NOR 產品的銷售額下降所抵消。

  • Demand for wireless NOR products continue to be impacted by seasonal weakness, lower performance of certain customers where we have greater concentration and continued transition of certain applications to NAND devices.

    對無線 NOR 產品的需求繼續受到季節性疲軟、我們更集中的某些客戶的性能下降以及某些應用程序繼續向 NAND 設備過渡的影響。

  • Consolidated gross margin for the second quarter declined from 14.6% to 13% compared to the first quarter.

    與第一季度相比,第二季度的綜合毛利率從 14.6% 下降至 13%。

  • Before getting into specific results for the quarter, I want to expand a bit on Mark's comments regarding the IM Flash arrangement we announced recently with Intel.

    在討論本季度的具體結果之前,我想稍微擴展一下 Mark 關於我們最近與英特爾宣布的 IM Flash 安排的評論。

  • As a result of the contemplated transactions, Micron will purchase Intel's 18% ownership interest in the IM Flash operation in Singapore.

    作為預期交易的結果,美光將購買英特爾在新加坡 IM Flash 業務中 18% 的所有權權益。

  • In addition, Micron will purchase from the IM Flash entity its production assets in the Micron fab in Virginia and the associated lease of a portion of that facility will be terminated.

    此外,美光將從 IM Flash 實體購買其在弗吉尼亞美光工廠的生產資產,並且該設施的一部分的相關租賃將被終止。

  • Total consideration for Micron's purchases is expected to be approximately $600 million.

    美光收購的總對價預計約為 6 億美元。

  • The exact amount may vary up to the time of closing, but approximates the book value of our net assets.

    確切金額可能會在交易結束時有所不同,但接近我們淨資產的賬面價值。

  • In accordance with the terms of a new supply agreement, Intel has agreed to make a deposit with Micron of $300 million, which may be refunded or applied to Intel's future purchases under the agreement.

    根據新供應協議的條款,英特爾已同意向美光支付 3 億美元的押金,這筆押金可退還或用於英特爾未來根據協議進行的採購。

  • In the third quarter, results are expected to include a loss of approximately $20 million associated with the termination of the Virginia lease.

    在第三季度,預計結果將包括與終止弗吉尼亞租約相關的約 2000 萬美元的損失。

  • The existing relationship and supply arrangement through IMFT will remain intact, although consisting solely of the output from the Lehi operation.

    通過 IMFT 的現有關係和供應安排將保持不變,儘管僅包括 Lehi 業務的產出。

  • Sales under this arrangement will continue to be based on relative ownership using long-term negotiated prices approximating cost.

    這種安排下的銷售將繼續基於相對所有權,使用接近成本的長期協商價格。

  • In addition to this supply agreement, Micron and Intel will enter into new agreements where Micron will supply Intel NAND Flash products, as well as certain emerging memory technology products in the future.

    除此供應協議外,美光和英特爾還將簽訂新協議,美光將在未來供應英特爾 NAND 閃存產品以及某些新興內存技術產品。

  • Sales under these new arrangements will be included in Micron's consolidated results as trade NAND sales.

    這些新安排下的銷售將作為貿易 NAND 銷售包含在美光的綜合業績中。

  • Micron and Intel will continue to participate in the development of NAND Flash memory technologies and will fund these shared costs equally.

    美光和英特爾將繼續參與 NAND 閃存技術的開發,並將平均資助這些分攤成本。

  • Depending on the timing of the closing of the transactions, we anticipate IM Flash sales to Intel will be approximately the same level in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter.

    根據交易完成的時間,我們預計第三季度對英特爾的 IM Flash 銷售額將與第二季度大致相同。

  • After that, we expect to see an increase in the percentage of Micron NAND revenue sold at trade pricing.

    在那之後,我們預計美光 NAND 收入在貿易定價中所佔的百分比將會增加。

  • Now let's walk through a few of the details for the second quarter.

    現在讓我們來看看第二季度的一些細節。

  • Our Singapore IM Flash fab continued to deliver on its manufacturing ramp as Mark indicated, achieving the targeted output level for its original ramp.

    正如 Mark 所指出的,我們的新加坡 IM Flash 工廠繼續在其製造斜坡上交付,達到其原始斜坡的目標產量水平。

  • This represented a 30% increase in wafer production in the second quarter compared to the prior quarter.

    與上一季度相比,第二季度的晶圓產量增加了 30%。

  • While Micron's ownership of the Singapore operation is currently 82%, during the second quarter we took 78% of that facility's production output in accordance with the existing agreements.

    雖然美光目前對新加坡業務的所有權為 82%,但在第二季度,我們根據現有協議獲得了該工廠 78% 的產量。

  • The output from the IM Flash US operations remains consistent with a 51/49 ownership split.

    IM Flash 美國業務的產出與 51/49 所有權分割保持一致。

  • The equity and income or loss from equity method [investees] line consists primarily of our share of Inotera's net loss for the period that you can see on the P&L.

    權益法[被投資人]線的權益和收入或損失主要包括我們在損益表上看到的期間 Inotera 淨虧損的份額。

  • Although the net loss for these investments was roughly the same quarter-to-quarter, improved Inotera performance resulting from higher yields and improved manufacturing efficiencies was partially offset by our share of losses from write-offs of certain deferred tax assets in two of our equity investments reported in that line.

    儘管這些投資的淨虧損與季度相比大致相同,但由於更高的產量和提高製造效率而改善的 Inotra 業績被我們在我們的兩個股權中沖銷某些遞延稅項資產的損失份額所部分抵消該行報告的投資。

  • Early in March, after the end of our second fiscal quarter, Micron completed the equity investment in Inotera of $170 million, and the $133 million short-term loan made to Inotera earlier in the quarter was repaid.

    3月初,在我們第二財季結束後,美光完成了對Inotera 1.7億美元的股權投資,並償還了本季度早些時候向Inotera提供的1.33億美元短期貸款。

  • This investment enables Inotera to initiate its conversion to Micron's 30-nanometer process technology.

    這項投資使 Inotera 能夠開始轉換為 Micron 的 30 納米工藝技術。

  • The initial phase of the conversion is targeted for roughly one-third of Inotera's production capacity with Micron taking a greater share of this 30-nanometer output as a result of our equity injection.

    轉換的初始階段目標是 Inotera 大約三分之一的產能,由於我們的股權注入,美光在這 30 納米產量中佔據了更大的份額。

  • Trade NAND bit sales to Micron customers grew 36% in the second quarter, primarily as a result of a higher level of production from IM Flash Singapore quarter-over-quarter as that operation performed at its targeted level for substantially all of the second quarter.

    第二季度向美光客戶的貿易 NAND 位銷售額增長了 36%,這主要是由於 IM Flash Singapore 的產量環比增加,因為該業務在第二季度的大部分時間都在目標水平上運行。

  • Our volume mix of MLC versus SLC NAND in the second quarter was consistent with the first quarter.

    我們第二季度 MLC 與 SLC NAND 的銷量組合與第一季度一致。

  • Production costs per bit for trade NAND products decreased 18% in the second quarter compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the higher production volumes on advanced technology nodes in the period.

    與上一季度相比,第二季度貿易 NAND 產品的每比特生產成本下降了 18%,這主要是由於該期間先進技術節點的產量增加。

  • Margins on trade NAND products decreased slightly in the second quarter.

    第二季度貿易 NAND 產品的利潤率略有下降。

  • However, selling prices declined more than the cost reductions.

    然而,售價下降幅度大於成本下降幅度。

  • Quarter to date for the third quarter, selling prices for trade NAND products are down mid-20s compared to the average for the second quarter.

    第三季度迄今為止,與第二季度的平均水平相比,貿易 NAND 產品的銷售價格下降了 20 年代中期。

  • DRAM revenue has been fairly flat for the last two quarters as higher bit sales have been offset by decreases in selling prices across both periods.

    過去兩個季度的 DRAM 收入相當平穩,因為較高的比特銷售額被兩個時期的銷售價格下降所抵消。

  • Specifically in the second quarter, per bit DRAM selling prices decreased 16% compared to the first quarter.

    特別是在第二季度,每比特DRAM的銷售價格與第一季度相比下降了16%。

  • This decrease was impacted by both market price declines and a somewhat lower mix of specialty products sold in the premium markets in the quarter.

    這一下降受到市場價格下跌和本季度高端市場銷售的特種產品組合有所減少的影響。

  • DRAM bit production and bit costs in the third quarter are expected to be down a couple percent as we shift mix to maximize margins.

    隨著我們調整組合以最大限度地提高利潤率,第三季度的 DRAM 位生產和位成本預計將下降幾個百分點。

  • Quarter to date for the third quarter, selling prices are relatively flat compared to the second quarter average.

    迄今為止,第三季度的銷售價格與第二季度的平均水平相比相對持平。

  • Sales of SSDs, including NAND components sold to fabless SSD manufacturers, grew about 15% quarter-to-quarter, as these devices continue to gain acceptance in the marketplace.

    SSD 的銷售額(包括出售給無晶圓 SSD 製造商的 NAND 組件)的銷售額環比增長約 15%,因為這些設備繼續在市場上獲得認可。

  • Our wireless solutions group continues to be impacted by weakness in the wireless NOR market in conjunction with weakness we are experiencing with our customer concentration.

    我們的無線解決方案組繼續受到無線 NOR 市場疲軟以及我們在客戶集中度方面遇到的疲軟的影響。

  • We are working to adjust the customer and product mix in this space to drive future growth.

    我們正在努力調整這一領域的客戶和產品組合,以推動未來的增長。

  • As I mentioned last quarter, we reduced production in our 200-millimeter NOR fabs.

    正如我上個季度提到的,我們減少了 200 毫米 NOR 晶圓廠的產量。

  • Although charges for idle capacity were lower compared to the previous quarter, they were still about $40 million in the second quarter, and primarily impacted our embedded solutions group and wireless solutions group operating results.

    儘管閒置容量的費用與上一季度相比有所下降,但第二季度仍約為 4000 萬美元,主要影響了我們的嵌入式解決方案集團和無線解決方案集團的經營業績。

  • SG&A expense in the second quarter increased and was approximately $20 million above our guidance range for the quarter, primarily as a result of a couple of one-time charges, including the accelerated stock vesting and benefits in the quarter and the expense associated with a committed contribution to a university.

    第二季度的 SG&A 費用增加了,比我們本季度的指導範圍高出約 2000 萬美元,主要是由於一些一次性費用,包括本季度加速的股票歸屬和收益以及與承諾相關的費用對大學的貢獻。

  • SG&A expense for the third quarter is anticipated to be between $155 million and $165 million.

    第三季度的 SG&A 費用預計在 1.55 億美元至 1.65 億美元之間。

  • At the end of the second quarter we capitalized and began depreciating the new R&D fab at our Boise campus.

    在第二季度末,我們資本化並開始貶值博伊西園區的新研發工廠。

  • R&D expense is expected to trend slightly lower for the remainder of the fiscal year.

    預計本財年剩餘時間的研發費用將略有下降。

  • You may have noted from the financial results summary slide presented earlier that we had a larger than usual gain in other non-operating income.

    您可能已經從前面展示的財務結果摘要幻燈片中註意到,我們在其他非營業收入方面的收益比平時要大。

  • This primarily related to minority equity investments in several technology companies that were sold to other parties and resulted in a gain.

    這主要與出售給其他方並產生收益的幾家科技公司的少數股權投資有關。

  • The Company generated $574 million in cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter and generated free cash flow of $145 million.

    公司第二季度從經營活動中產生了 5.74 億美元的現金流,並產生了 1.45 億美元的自由現金流。

    今天的收入百分比是多少,您預計 12 個月後的收入是多少?

  • The reason why I ask the question, it's clear as we're moving from single core to multi-core processors, things like smartphones and tablets that memory density, DRAM density is going up.

    我問這個問題的原因很明顯,因為我們正在從單核處理器轉向多核處理器,比如智能手機和平板電腦,內存密度、DRAM 密度正在上升。

  • I think we're probably behind in our participation in that category today.

    我認為我們今天可能落後於該類別的參與。

  • As I commented on, we think we're positioned pretty well technology-wise with 30 series coming out in the back half of the year, and I think industry dynamics are favoring that -- our customers are coming and leaning on us hard to get there quick because there's some scaled opportunities there from a volume standpoint.

    正如我評論的那樣,我們認為我們在技術方面的定位非常好,今年下半年推出了 30 個系列,我認為行業動態有利於這一點——我們的客戶來了,很難得到我們的支持很快,因為從數量的角度來看,那裡有一些規模化的機會。

  • I want to be careful not to start to throw volumes, numbers out per se, but we think it's going to be pretty significant by the end of this year, early next year.

    我想小心不要開始拋出數量,數字本身,但我們認為到今年年底,明年初,這將非常重要。

  • I think the best way to characterize our position on that is we think that this is an adjustment in terms of what's happened out of the SSD build from the Thailand situation, which we've commented on in the call today.

    我們給出的相當一致的溝通是,從長遠來看,我們的目標是在 20% 到 25% 的債務資本範圍內。
