Intel reported first-quarter results on Thursday that beat analysts’ estimates, while issuing disappointing guidance and announcing plans to slash operational and capital expenses in the coming year, the first under CEO Lip-Bu Tan. The stock fell 7% in extended trading.

Here’s how the company did, versus LSEG consensus estimates:

• EPS: 13 cents, adjusted vs. 1 cent estimated
• Revenue: $12.67 billion vs. $12.3 billion estimated

Intel said it expects revenue for the current quarter of $11.8 billion dollars at the midpoint of the range, lower than the average analyst estimate of $12.82 billion. The company said earnings will be breakeven, while analysts were looking for profit of 6 cents per share.

Intel said its second-quarter guidance reflected elevated uncertainty driven by the macro environment.

For the first quarter, Intel reported a net loss of $800 million, or 19 cents per share, due to higher costs of sales and some writedowns. That compares with net income of $2.7 billion, or 63 cents per share, last year.

It’s the chipmaker’s first earnings report since Tan over as CEO in March, after Pat Gelsinger stepped down in December under pressure from board members and investors. Gelsinger’s tenure was highlighted by the company’s inability to effectively compete in artificial intelligence and its efforts to move into semiconductor manufacturing for other companies, including competitors.

“The first quarter was a step in the right direction, but there are no quick fixes as we work to get back on a path to gaining market share and driving sustainable growth,” Tan said in a statement.

Intel said on Thursday that it was planning to cut operational and capital expenses, removing management layers, in order to become more efficient. The company said it expected $17 billion in operational expenses this year, down from a previous target of $17.5 billion, and that it would target $18 billion in capital expenses in 2025, down from a previous target of $20 billion.

Intel said it hasn’t included restructuring charges in its guidance. Finance chief David Zinsner told CNBC’s Kristina Partsinevelos that the reduction in operating expenses would include job cuts, especially for managers, but that Intel has not yet finalized a number of cuts.

“There is no way around the fact that these critical changes will reduce the size of our workforce,” Tan said in a memo to employees that was published by Intel on its website. He said that the cuts would begin this quarter.

Intel’s investors hope Tan can turn around a company that’s been losing market share in its core processor business, and doesn’t have a competitive AI chip to Nvidia, which dominates the fast-growing sector.

Tan has already started to shape his team, last week naming networking chief Sachin Katti to be the company’s chief technology officer and head of AI, leading Intel’s overall AI strategy and product release plans. Tan said on Thursday in a memo that Intel employees would have to work four days per week in the office by September.

Intel’s data center group reported $4.1 billion in sales, which was up 8% year-over-year. Intel said it had merged its networking and edge computing group, previously led by Katti, into its data center organization.

The company’s other big business, chips for PCs, is reported under the Client Computing Group, and it fell 8% on an annual basis to $7.6 billion in sales.

Intel’s burgeoning foundry business reported $4.7 billion in revenue, although most of those sales come from Intel’s other divisions to manufacture its chips.

Meta has laid off employees in its Reality Labs division that is tasked with developing virtual reality, augmented reality and related wearable devices.

The cuts affected an unspecified number of employees working in the division’s Oculus Studios unit, which develops VR and AR games and content for Meta’s Quest VR headsets, a company spokesperson told CNBC.

“Some teams within Oculus Studios are undergoing shifts in structure and roles that have impacted team size,” the spokesperson said. “These changes are meant to help Studios work more efficiently on future mixed reality experiences for our growing audience, while still delivering great content for people today.”

Employees working on the Supernatural VR workout app were impacted, the spokesperson said.

“We’re deeply saddened to share that these changes have resulted in the loss of some of our incredibly talented team members,” the company said in a statement posted to the Supernatural official Facebook group. “Their contributions have been instrumental in shaping our journey and yours, and their absence will be deeply felt.”

The cuts to Reality Labs come after Meta in February laid off 5% of its overall workforce that it deemed to be its lowest performers.

Meta’s Reality Labs division logged an operating loss of $4.97 billion while scoring $1.1 billion in sales during the fourth quarter, the company said in January.

The social media company reports earnings on Wednesday.

The Verge reported the layoffs earlier on Thursday.

ServiceNow shares surged 15% on stronger-than-expected first-quarter results and an upbeat forecast despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment.

The enterprise technology company posted adjusted earnings of $4.04 per share on $3.09 billion in revenue. That topped a consensus estimate of $3.83 in earnings per share and $3.08 billion in sales, according to LSEG. Revenues grew about 19% from a year ago.

ServiceNow reported net income of $460 million, or $2.20 per share. That is up from $347 million, or $1.67 per share in the year-ago quarter. Current remaining performance obligations reached $10.3 billion, jumping 22% year over year. The company also lifted its full-year forecast.

“While our business remains strong, we are only flowing through part of those benefits into our full‑year outlook” to account for any pending risks from the geopolitical environment, the company said in a release.

Shares of ServiceNow have slumped about 12% this year amid a volatile market environment. Investors this earnings season are laser-focused on how companies are managing the macroeconomic backdrop in the wake of President Donald Trump‘s sweeping tariff plans. Another fear for some companies operating in the public sector is cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, cost-cutting campaign.

Public sector business grew 30% during the period, which included 11 federal deals topping $1 million. CEO Bill McDermott said during the earnings call that the company has had “very positive” discussions with DOGE, which is run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Both DOGE and ServiceNow have a “shared ambition to transform government and the way it interacts with citizens,” he said. “The common thread is that ServiceNow is set up for sustainable growth as the market’s leading enterprise AI platform.”

Subscription revenue, which consumes a large chunk of the company’s revenues, came in at $3.01 billion, narrowly topping a $3 billion estimate. The company said it expects subscription revenues in the second quarter to range between $3.03 billion and $3.04 billion, ahead of a $3.02 billion estimate.

The digital workflows software provider said it ended the period with 508 customers totaling about $5 million in annual contract value.
