FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2023

•Record quarterly revenue of $8.29 billion, up 46% from a year ago

•Record quarterly revenue for Data Center and Gaming

SANTA CLARA, Calif.-May 25, 2022- NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported record revenue for the first quarter ended May 1, 2022, of $8.29 billion, up 46% from a year ago and up 8% from the previous quarter, with record revenue in Data Center and Gaming.

GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.64, down 16% from a year ago and down 46% from the previous quarter, and include an after-tax impact of $0.52 related to the $1.35 billion Arm acquisition termination charge. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $1.36, up 49% from a year ago and up 3% from the previous quarter.

“We delivered record results in Data Center and Gaming against the backdrop of a challenging macro environment,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The effectiveness of deep learning to automate intelligence is driving companies across industries to adopt NVIDIA for AI computing. Data Center has become our largest platform, even as Gaming achieved a record quarter.

“We are gearing up for the largest wave of new products in our history with new GPU, CPU, DPU and robotics processors ramping in the second half. Our new chips and systems will greatly advance AI, graphics, Omniverse, self-driving cars and robotics, as well as the many industries these technologies impact,” he said.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, NVIDIA returned to shareholders $2.10 billion in share repurchases and cash dividends.

On May 23, 2022, the board of directors increased and extended the company’s share repurchase program to repurchase additional common stock up to a total of $15 billion through December 2023.

NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on July 1, 2022, to all shareholders of record on June 9, 2022.

CFO Commentary

Commentary on the quarter by Colette Kress, NVIDIA’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, is available at https://investor.nvidia.com/.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

NVIDIA will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its first quarter fiscal 2023 financial results and current financial prospects today at 2 p.m. Pacific time (5 p.m. Eastern time). A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at NVIDIA’s investor relations website, https://investor.nvidia.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until NVIDIA’s conference call to discuss its financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement NVIDIA’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, and free cash flow. For NVIDIA’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude acquisition termination costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, IP-related costs, legal settlement costs, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, the associated tax impact of these items where applicable, domestication tax benefit, and foreign tax benefit. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets and principal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user’s overall understanding of the company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

We specialize in markets where our computing platforms can provide tremendous acceleration for applications. These platforms incorporate processors, interconnects, software, algorithms, systems, and services to deliver unique value. Our platforms address four large markets where our expertise is critical: Gaming, Data Center, Professional Visualization, and Automotive.

Revenue

Revenue was a record $8.29 billion, up 46% from a year ago and up 8% sequentially, with record revenue achieved in Gaming and Data Center.

Gaming revenue was up 31% from a year ago and up 6% sequentially. The year-on-year increase reflects higher sales of GeForce GPUs based on our NVIDIA Ampere architecture. The sequential increase was driven by higher sales of GeForce GPUs for laptops and SOCs for game consoles.

Our GPUs are capable of cryptocurrency mining, though we have limited visibility into how much this impacts our overall GPU demand. Volatility in the cryptocurrency market – such as the recent declines in cryptocurrency prices or changes in method of verifying transactions, including proof of work or proof of stake – can impact demand for our products and our ability to accurately estimate it. Most desktop NVIDIA Ampere architecture GeForce GPU shipments were Lite Hash Rate to help direct GeForce GPUs to gamers.

Data Center revenue was up 83% from a year ago and up 15% sequentially. These increases were primarily driven by sales of NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPUs and DGX systems used across both training and inference. Growth was led by cloud computing and hyperscale customers for workloads such as natural language processing and deep recommenders.

Professional Visualization revenue was up 67% from a year ago and down 3% sequentially. The year-on-year increase was driven by sales of NVIDIA Ampere architecture products, with growth in workstations as enterprises supported hybrid work environments. The sequential decrease was due to lower sales of desktop workstation GPUs, partially offset by higher sales of notebook workstations GPUs.

Automotive revenue was down 10% from a year ago and up 10% sequentially. The year-on-year decrease was due to automakers’ supply constraints and the decline of legacy cockpit revenue. The sequential increase was driven by AI cockpit revenue.

OEM and Other revenue was down 52% from a year ago and down 18% sequentially. The year-on-year decrease was due to a decline in Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP) revenue, which was nominal in the quarter compared with $155 million from a year ago. The sequential decrease was driven by lower entry level notebook GPU sales.

Non-GAAP gross margin 67.1 67.0 66.2

All values are in US Dollars.

GAAP gross margin was up 140 basis points from a year ago, primarily due to a higher-end mix of GeForce GPUs within Gaming and the reduced impact of acquisition-related costs. Sequentially, GAAP gross margin was up 10 basis points due to increased contribution of, and favorable product mix changes within, Data

Center, partially offset by higher sales of SOCs for game consoles. Non-GAAP gross margin was up 90 basis points from a year ago and up 10 basis points sequentially.

Expenses

Non-GAAP operating expenses $1,608 $1,447 $1,189

GAAP operating expenses were up 113% from a year ago and up 76% sequentially and include a $1.35 billion acquisition termination charge related to the Arm transaction.

Non-GAAP operating expenses were up 35% from a year ago and up 11% sequentially. These increases were driven by employee growth, compensation-related costs and engineering development costs. We have been successful in hiring this year and expect to slow hiring in the second half of fiscal 2023 as we integrate our new employees.

Operating Income

GAAP operating income was $1.87 billion, down 4% from a year ago and down 37% sequentially. Non-GAAP operating income was $3.96 billion, up 55% from a year ago and up 8% sequentially.

GAAP other income and expense (OI&E) includes interest income, interest expense, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments and other. Non-GAAP OI&E excludes the portion of interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount and the gains or losses from non-affiliated investments.

Interest income was $18 million, up from a year ago and sequentially, due to higher interest rates earned on investments. Interest expense was $68 million, up from a year ago and sequentially. The year-on-year increase was primarily due to debt issuances and the sequential increase primarily relates to a reduction in capitalized interest. Loss from non-affiliated investments was $17 million, up from a year ago and down sequentially. These changes were primarily driven by the mark-to-market of public trading equity investments and changes in value from our non-affiliated private investments.

GAAP effective tax rate for the first quarter was 10.3%. Discrete items affecting our tax rate included excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by the impact of the Arm acquisition termination charge. Non-GAAP effective tax rate for the first quarter was 11.9%.

Net Income and EPS

GAAP net income was a $1.62 billion. GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.64, down 16% from a year ago and down 46% sequentially, and include an after-tax impact of $0.52 related to the $1.35 billion Arm acquisition termination charge.

Non-GAAP net income was $3.44 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $1.36, up 49% from a year ago and up 3% sequentially.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $20.34 billion, up from $12.67 billion a year ago and down from $21.21 billion a quarter ago. The year-on-year increase reflects free cash flow generation and $5.00 billion of debt issuance proceeds. The sequential decrease reflects share repurchases and advanced payments on supply agreements.

Accounts receivable was $5.44 billion compared with $3.02 billion a year ago and $4.65 billion a quarter ago. DSO was 60 days, up from 49 days a year ago and up from 55 days a quarter ago.

Inventory was $3.16 billion compared with $1.99 billion a year ago and $2.61 billion a quarter ago. Outstanding inventory purchase and long-term supply obligations were $9.59 billion, up from $3.46 billion a year ago and up from $9.00 billion a quarter ago, due to longer lead-times throughout the supply chain. Prepaid supply agreements were $3.06 billion, up from $1.84 billion a quarter ago. DSI was 101 days, up from 89 days a year ago and up from 90 days a quarter ago.

Cash flow from operating activities was $1.73 billion, down from $1.87 billion a year ago and down from $3.03 billion a quarter ago. These decreases primarily reflect advanced payments on supply agreements.

Free cash flow was $1.35 billion, down from $1.56 billion a year ago and down from $2.74 billion a quarter ago.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $334 million, including amortization of intangible assets related to the Mellanox acquisition. Capital expenditures including principal payments on property and equipment were $383 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, NVIDIA returned $2.10 billion to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and cash dividends.

On May 23, 2022, our board of directors increased and extended our share repurchase program to repurchase additional common stock up to a total of $15 billion through December 2023.

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Outlook

Our outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 is as follows:

•Revenue is expected to be $8.10 billion, plus or minus 2%. This includes an estimated reduction of approximately $500 million relating to Russia and the COVID lockdowns in China.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement NVIDIA’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, and free cash flow. In order for NVIDIA’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude acquisition termination costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, IP-related costs, legal settlement costs, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, the associated tax impact of these items where applicable, domestication tax benefit, and foreign tax benefit. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets and principal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user's overall understanding of the company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
