The upcoming introduction of our next generation of products will further enhance ATI's technology lead. For ATI, 2002 is truly a year of delivering on our ambitious goal of creating top-to-bottom technology leadership."

ATI's financial position continued to strengthen in the third quarter. Cash generated from operations during the third quarter was (US) $21.1 million. The Company's cash position increased to (US) $265.7 million at May 31, 2002 from (US) $249.0 million three months earlier. Inventories increased by (US) $10.6 million during the quarter to (US) $127.7 million at May 31, 2002, while working capital increased by (US) $19.5 million to (US) $370.1 million compared to February February: see month.  28, 2002.

"As ATI rolls out exciting new products in the full range of our product line, we will continue to expand our customer base, our market share, and our leadership in the market. These successes will drive ATI's growth and profitability for the year ahead."

Outlook

"In the latter half of fiscal 2002, we have been building a solid foundation for fiscal 2003," said Terry Nickerson, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, ATI Technologies Inc. "Although we expect some market softness in our fiscal fourth quarter, we continue to expect a strong beginning to fiscal 2003 due to new product revenue in the desktop and integrated markets, revenue ramping in the set top box and handheld handheld: see personal digital assistant.  businesses, as well as seasonal strength from Nintendo."

As a result of these market conditions, the Company expects revenue to be flat to slightly down. The Company expects gross margins to be within its business model target range of 32 to 35 per cent, but in the lower half of the range. This is a result of the product transition in the fourth quarter as new products ramp and replace older products approaching end of life. Operating expense Operating Expense

 is expected to be up modestly because of the previously announced NxtWave acquisition and new product introduction expenses. As a result, ATI expects adjusted net income per share to be in the (US) $0.05 - (US) $0.07 range.

In previous guidance, the Company has described the last two quarters of fiscal 2002 as "setting the stage" for a strong fiscal 2003. ATI continues to hold that view. The investment that the Company has made over the past two years in the development of new products is realized in our fiscal fourth quarter with production ramping in set top box, handheld and integrated graphics chipsets, as well as the introduction of our new family of discrete A component or device that is separate and distinct and treated as a singular unit.  graphics processors.

 of Interim Financial Results

for the Third Quarter Ended May 31, 2002

Revenue

ATI revenues for the third quarter increased slightly to (US) $266.2 million from (US) $266.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. While the Company's shipment volumes increased by just under 10 per cent, the effect of a richer chip-to-board mix restrained revenues.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2002 increased by 8.5 per cent from (US) $245.5 million during the same period a year ago primarily due to higher sales and market share in the Company's core PC markets, and royalty Compensation for the use of property, usually copyrighted works, patented inventions, or natural resources, expressed as a percentage of receipts from using the property or as a payment for each unit produced.  revenue from sales of Nintendo's GAMECUBE(TM) game console. These increases were somewhat offset by the effect of ATI's add-in-board strategy, whereby the Company is delivering chips rather than boards into the system integrator as well as OEM and retail channels, which generates lower unit revenues but improves gross margins.

Revenues for the first nine months of the fiscal year were (US) $782.2 million versus (US) $808.7 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in the current year was a result of strong sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, just prior to the substantial economic slowdown For articles with similar titles, see Slow Down (disambiguation).

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the third quarter improved to 35.0 per cent of revenues compared to 33.8 per cent of revenues in the second quarter. The improvement was due to the continuing shift to chips from boards in the Company's sales mix sales mix

, and strong margins on individual products across ATI's product line.

Gross margins improved in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2001. ATI's gross margins of 24.1 per cent for the third quarter of 2001 and 21.4 per cent for the first nine months of that year resulted from pressures on product selling prices and an inventory of higher cost memory on boards that were sold in last year's second quarter.

Operating Expense

Total operating expenses, in the third quarter, excluding amortization of intangibles Property that is a "right" such as a patent, Copyright, or trademark, or one that is lacking physical existence, such as good will. , were (US) $69.2 million, (US) $0.6 million lower than in the second quarter, primarily as a result of lower R&D prototyping (1) Creating a demo of a new system.

b.
 administrative expense.

Compared to the third quarter last year, operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles, increased (US) $4.3 million or 6.7 per cent primarily as a result of increased R&D investment related to new product introductions, as well as increased variable sales expense as a result of higher unit volumes.

For the first nine months of this year, these expenses increased to (US) $208.2 million, versus (US) $195.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2001. The increased expense was largely a result of the additional investment in R&D related to new product development.

Total operating expenses, including amortization of intangibles, increased marginally in the third quarter compared to the same period a year earlier. This slight increase was due to higher R&D costs, largely offset by the Company having completed its amortization of purchased in-process R&D, resulting from the acquisition of ArtX ARTX Ada Real-Time Executive , during the third quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first nine months of fiscal 2002, total operating expenses, including amortization of intangibles, were (US) $272.2 million, versus (US) $288.5 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in total operating expenses was largely a result of the completion of the amortization expense noted above, somewhat offset by higher R&D expense.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income declined (US) $1.6 million in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of this year. The decrease is largely a result of an unrealized loss Unrealized Loss

Net Income

In order to provide additional information concerning the Company's operating performance, ATI uses adjusted net income as a measure of its performance in addition to its disclosure contained in its financial statements.

Adjusted net income excludes the after-tax effect of gain on sale of investments, amortization of intangible assets related to the Company's acquisitions, and the deferred tax recovery of future tax liability pertaining to intangible assets acquired. Each of these items has been excluded from adjusted net income as they are not considered to be part of the Company's normalized ongoing operations. While the Company recognizes that adjusted net income does not have any standardized meaning described by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and that its adjusted net income calculation cannot be used as a comparison to other companies' financial performance, ATI believes that its adjusted net income more appropriately reflects the Company's operating performance. A table titled "Adjusted Net Income Reconciliation" can be found at the end of the Management Discussion and Analysis for the reconciliation between adjusted net income and net income which is determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter was (US) $19.2 million or (US) $0.08 per share on a diluted di·lute

 basis, compared to adjusted net income of (US) $17.6 million or (US) $0.07 per share for the second quarter. Stronger unit shipments and an improved gross margin associated with a richer product mix accounted for the increase.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2002 rose from an adjusted net loss of (US) $4.2 million, or (US) $0.02 per share, for the same period last year. The increase was due to higher revenues from stronger sales into the PC market, royalties received on sales of Nintendo's GAMECUBE(TM), and higher gross margins on the Company's graphics processors.

Adjusted net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 was (US) $47.3 million versus an adjusted net loss for the same period last year of (US) $18.5 million. The improvement in adjusted net income was primarily a result of gross margin improvement.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, ATI's net loss was (US) $2.0 million or (US) $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of (US) $3.0 million or (US) $0.01 per share in the second quarter of this year. The sequential One after the other in some consecutive order such as by name or number.  improvement was due to higher gross margins.

The reduction in net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from a net loss of (US) $27.0 million or (US) $0.12 per share for the same period last year was primarily the result of higher sales and margins.

The net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 was (US) $15.3 million compared to a net loss for the same period last year of (US) $42.6 million. The decrease in the net loss was a result of improved margins and decreased amortization expense offset by the gain from the sale of the Company's investment in Broadcom Broadcom Corporation is an American supplier of integrated circuits (ICs) for broadband communications. Founded in 1991 by Henry Samueli (chairman and CTO) and Henry Nicholas, it became a public company in 1998 and now employs over 5,000 people worldwide.  Corporation.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

ATI's cash generated from operations was (US) $21.1 million in the third quarter compared to (US) $28.4 million in the second quarter, and (US) $66.0 million in the third quarter a year ago. Inventories increased by (US) $10.6 million to (US) $127.7 million at May 31, 2002, compared to (US) $117.1 million three months earlier.

For the first nine months of the year, cash generated from operations was (US) $59.6 million versus (US) $31.6 million for the same period last year. The improvement was largely a result of a reduction in net loss.

ATI's financial position continued to strengthen in the third quarter. At May 31, 2002, ATI had working capital of (US) $370.1 million, compared to (US) $323.6 million as at August 31, 2001. The Company's cash position increased to (US) $265.7 million as of May 31, 2002, compared to (US) $216.5 as at fiscal 2001 year end. The increased cash position was largely due to a reduction in net loss.

Intangible assets, largely consisting of goodwill associated with the acquisition of ArtX in April 2000, declined to (US) $223.9 million at May 31, 2002, from (US) $285.9 million as at August 31, 2001, as ATI continued to amortize amortize

Forward-Looking Statements and Uncertainties

Certain statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Interim Financial Results, constitute "forward-looking statements." When used in this document, words such as "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "should," "estimates," "expects," "believes," "indicates," "suggests," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and entail various risks and uncertainties that are outlined in this press release and in the Company's 2001 Annual Report and Annual Information Form. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the Company's operating results and common share price may be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. For example, the markets for the Company's products are characterized by changing market conditions, frequent new product introductions, seasonal and variable demand and rapid technology changes. Other factors that could cause the Company's results to vary include, but are not limited to, lack of anticipated growth in the demand for PCs, gaming consoles and consumer electronic devices in which the Company's products are incorporated, reductions in the Company's average selling prices for its products due to competitive pressures and other factors, the introduction of new products by the Company's competitors which render the Company's products non-competitive, delays encountered by the Company in developing new products or enhancements, including integrated graphics and core logic components, in the time frame required by its customers, delays in manufacturing or unfavourable manufacturing yields experienced by the Company's independent foundries, unexpected variances in material costs, including silicon wafer, memory and printed circuit boards, and constraints on the supply of components utilized in the Company's products and in the PC industry generally. These risks and uncertainties could cause or contribute to actual results that are materially different from those anticipated or experienced in the past. Additional information concerning factors that could cause the Company's financial results to fluctuate is contained in the Company's filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulatory authorities. ATI disclaims any obligation or intention to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

      2. Capital Lease

      In February 1999, the Company entered into a 50% ownership joint
venture agreement for the purpose of constructing a new building
facility in Markham, Ontario. The facility was completed during the
current quarter of 2002. The completed cost of this facility amounts
to $33.3 million. The Company entered into a lease agreement with the
joint venture, which is recorded in the current quarter as a capital
lease. The building under capital leases is initially recorded at the
present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over a period
of 15 years.
      In October 1999, the joint venture arranged interim construction
financing, which it intends to convert to mortgage financing secured
by the underlying asset. The joint venture is currently in discussions
with a lender to place a mortgage on the property. As of May 31, 2002,
the Company's proportional share of the construction financing amounts
to $12.3 million. The underlying liability is denominated in Canadian
dollars.
      The Company's obligation under capital lease owed to the third
party venturer, which is denominated in Canadian dollars, is as
follows:

with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the
currency of the primary economic environment of either the employer or
the employee, should be accounted for under the variable accounting
method. Under Canadian GAAP, there is currently no equivalent
requirement. The comparative figures for the three months and nine
months ended May 31, 2001 have been amended to include the impact of
this difference between Canadian and U.S. GAAP.
