NVIDIA’s outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 does not include any contribution from the pending acquisition of Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. Discussions with China’s regulatory agency, the State Administration for Market Regulation, are progressing, and NVIDIA believes the acquisition will likely close in the early part of calendar 2020.
While the ultimate effect of the coronavirus is difficult to estimate, the company has reduced its revenue outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 by $100 million to account for its potential impact.
• | Revenue is expected to be $3.00 billion, plus or minus 2 percent. |
• | GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 65.0 percent and 65.4 percent, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points. |
• | GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $1.05 billion and $835 million, respectively. |
• | GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are both expected to be income of approximately $25 million. |
• | GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are both expected to be 9 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, excluding any discrete items. GAAP discrete items include excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation, which are expected to generate variability on a quarter by quarter basis. |
Highlights
Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, NVIDIA has achieved progress in these areas:
Gaming
• | Grew momentum for ray tracing with the launch of such RTX-enabled games as Deliver Us The Moon, Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Bright Memory. |

CFO Commentary
Commentary on the quarter by Colette Kress, NVIDIA’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, is available at http://investor.nvidia.com/.
Conference Call and Webcast Information
NVIDIA will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal 2020 financial results and current financial prospects today at 2:30 p.m. Pacific time (5:30 p.m. Eastern time). A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at NVIDIA’s investor relations website, http://investor.nvidia.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until NVIDIA’s conference call to discuss its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2021.
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, non-GAAP income tax expense, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, non-GAAP diluted shares, 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 stock-based compensation expense, legal settlement costs, acquisition-related and other costs, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, and the associated tax impact of these items, where applicable. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchase of 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.

From a market-platform perspective, Gaming revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.49 billion, up 56 percent from a year ago and down 10 percent sequentially. The year-on-year increase reflects higher sales of GeForce® GPUs and SoCs for gaming platforms. The sequential decrease reflects seasonally lower sales of GeForce notebook GPUs and SoCs for gaming platforms, partially offset by growth in GeForce desktop GPUs. Full-year revenue was $5.52 billion, down 12 percent, reflecting lower sales of GeForce desktop GPUs and SoCs for gaming platforms, partially offset by growth in GeForce notebook GPUs.
Professional Visualization revenue for the fourth quarter was a record $331 million, up 13 percent from a year earlier and up 2 percent sequentially. The year-on-year growth reflects strength in desktop and notebook workstations, while the sequential growth was driven by desktop workstations partially offset by notebook workstations. Full-year revenue was $1.21 billion, up 7 percent, reflecting strength in desktop and notebook workstations.
Data Center revenue for the fourth quarter was a record $968 million, up 43 percent from a year ago and up 33 percent sequentially. The year-on-year increase was driven by hyperscale and vertical industry end customers. Sequential growth reflects stronger vertical industry and hyperscale sales. Full-year revenue was $2.98 billion, up 2 percent, driven by vertical industry growth partially offset by lower hyperscale sales.
Automotive revenue was $163 million, flat from a year earlier and up 1 percent sequentially. Full-year revenue was $700 million, up 9 percent, reflecting growth in AI cockpit solutions and development services agreements.
OEM and Other revenue for the fourth quarter was $152 million, up 31 percent from a year ago and up 6 percent sequentially. The year-on-year and sequential increases were primarily due to growth in entry level GPUs for PC OEMs. Full-year revenue was $505 million, down 34 percent, primarily due to the absence of cryptocurrency-specific product sales.
Gross Margin
GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter was 64.9 percent, up 1,020 basis points from a year earlier and up 130 basis points sequentially. The year-on-year increase was primarily driven by reduced inventory charges in Gaming and a more favorable mix within Data Center. The sequential increase reflects a higher revenue contribution of Data Center products, partially offset by lower sales of previously written-off components.
Full-year GAAP gross margin was 62.0 percent, up 80 basis points from a year ago, primarily driven by reduced inventory charges and the sale of previously written-off components.
Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter was 65.4 percent, up 940 basis points from a year earlier and up 130 basis points sequentially. Full-year non-GAAP gross margin was 62.5 percent, up 80 basis points from a year ago.
Expenses

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the fourth quarter were $10.90 billion, up from $9.77 billion in the prior quarter and $7.42 billion a year earlier. The increases primarily reflect growth in operating cash flow.
Accounts receivable at the end of the quarter was $1.68 billion compared with $1.46 billion in the prior quarter and $1.42 billion a year earlier. DSO at quarter-end was 49 days, up from 44 days in the prior quarter and down from 59 days a year earlier.
Inventory at the end of the quarter was $979 million, down from $1.05 billion in the prior quarter and down from $1.57 billion a year earlier. Outstanding inventory purchase obligations at the end of the quarter were $1.16 billion, up from $980 million in the prior quarter and up from $912 million a year earlier. DSI at quarter-end was 82 days, down from 87 days in the prior quarter and down from 143 days a year earlier.
Cash flow from operating activities was $1.46 billion in the fourth quarter, down from $1.64 billion in the prior quarter, and up from $898 million a year earlier. The sequential decrease reflects changes in working capital primarily driven by an increase in DSO. The year-on-year increase primarily reflects growth in operating income. Full-year cash flow from operating activities was $4.76 billion, up from $3.74 billion a year earlier, reflecting changes in working capital driven by a reduction in inventory partially offset by a decrease in operating income.
Free cash flow was $1.32 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $1.54 billion in the previous quarter and $695 million a year earlier.
Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $106 million for the fourth quarter and $381 million for fiscal 2020. Capital expenditures were $144 million for the fourth quarter and $489 million for fiscal 2020.
First Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Outlook
Our outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 does not include any contribution from the pending acquisition of Mellanox. Discussions with China’s regulatory agency, the State Administration for Market Regulation, are progressing, and we believe the acquisition will likely close in the early part of calendar 2020.
While the ultimate effect of the coronavirus is difficult to estimate, we have reduced our revenue outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 by $100 million to account for the potential impact.
• | Revenue is expected to be $3.00 billion, plus or minus 2 percent. |
• | GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 65.0 percent and 65.4 percent, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points. |

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, non-GAAP income tax expense, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, non-GAAP diluted shares, 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 stock-based compensation expense, legal settlement costs, acquisition-related and other costs, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, and the associated tax impact of these items, where applicable. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of 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.
