Conference Call and Webcast InformationNVIDIA will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its second quarter financial results and currentfinancial prospects today at 2 p.m. Pacific time (5 p.m. Eastern time). A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call willbe accessible at NVIDIA’s investor relations website, https://investor.nvidia.com.

Non-GAAP MeasuresTo supplement NVIDIA’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company usesnon-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP grossprofit, 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’sinvestors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliationof GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, IP-related costs, gains and losses from non-affiliatedinvestments, mark to market adjustments of our publicly traded equity securities, interest expense related to amortization of debtdiscount, the associated tax impact of these items where applicable, and domestication tax benefit. Free cash flow is calculatedas GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets andprincipal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financialmeasures enhances the user’s overall understanding of the company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of thecompany’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s financialresults prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAPmeasures used by other companies.

We specialize in markets where our computing platforms can provide tremendous acceleration for applications. These platformsincorporate processors, interconnects, software, algorithms, systems, and services to deliver unique value. Our platformsaddress four large markets where our expertise is critical: Gaming, Data Center, Professional Visualization, and Automotive.
On July 19, 2021, we completed a four-for-one split of our common stock in the form of a stock dividend to shareholders ofrecord as of June 21, 2021. All share and per share amounts presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect thestock split.
RevenueRevenue for the second quarter was a record $6.51 billion, up 68 percent from a year earlier. Record quarterly revenue wasachieved in Gaming, Data Center, and Professional Visualization.
Gaming revenue was up 85 percent from a year ago and up 11 percent sequentially, reflecting higher sales in GeForce GPUsand game-console SOCs. We continued to benefit from strong sales of our GeForce RTX 30 Series based on the NVIDIAAmpere architecture. We have introduced Low Hash Rate (LHR) GeForce GPUs with limited Ethereum mining capability andincreased the supply of Cryptocurrency Mining Processors (CMP) in an effort to direct GeForce to gamers and CMP to miners.Over 80 percent of our Ampere architecture-based GeForce GPU shipments in the quarter were LHR GPUs. CMP is included inOEM.
Data Center revenue was up 35 percent from a year ago and up 16 percent sequentially. The year-on-year growth was led bythe ramp of NVIDIA Ampere architecture products into vertical industries and hyperscale customers, including strong growth ininference. Sequentially, growth stemmed from both compute and networking products, led by hyperscale customers.
Professional Visualization revenue was up 156 percent from a year earlier and up 40 percent sequentially, driven by the ramp ofNVIDIA Ampere architecture GPUs, with growth led by desktop workstation GPUs.
Automotive revenue was up 37 percent from a year earlier and down 1 percent sequentially. The year-on-year increase was dueto the recovery in automotive demand which was impacted by the pandemic in the prior year.
OEM and Other revenue was up 180 percent from a year ago and up 25 percent sequentially, primarily reflecting growth in CMP,which generated revenue of $266 million.
Gross Margin
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Gross Margin($ in millions) Q2 FY22 Q1 FY22 Q2 FY21GAAP gross profit $4,215 $3,629 $2,275GAAP gross margin 64.8 % 64.1 % 58.8 %

GAAP gross margin for the second quarter was up 600 basis points from a year earlier, primarily due to a non-recurringinventory step-up expense of $161 million related to the Mellanox acquisition in the year-ago quarter. GAAP gross margin wasup 70 basis points sequentially.

Non-GAAP gross margin was up 70 basis points from a year earlier and up 50 basis points sequentially, reflecting higher ASPswithin desktop GeForce GPUs with continued growth in high-end Ampere architecture products, partially offset by a mix shiftwithin Data Center.
Expenses
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses($ in millions) Q2 FY22 Q1 FY22 Q2 FY21GAAP operating expenses $1,771 $1,673 $1,624Stock-based compensation expense (433) (404) (360)Acquisition-related and other costs (72) (80) (229)Non-GAAP operating expenses $1,266 $1,189 $1,035
GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter were up 9 percent from a year earlier and up 6 percent sequentially. Non-GAAP operating expenses were up 22 percent from a year earlier and up 6 percent sequentially. The year-on-year andsequential increases were primarily driven by compensation-related costs largely relating to employee growth. The year-on-yearincreases also reflect growth of infrastructure costs.
Operating IncomeGAAP operating income for the second quarter was a record $2.44 billion, up 275 percent from a year earlier and up 25 percentsequentially. Non-GAAP operating income was $3.07 billion, up 103 percent from a year earlier and up 20 percent sequentially.
Other Income & Expense and Income TaxGAAP other income and expense, or OI&E, includes interest income, interest expense, and other items. Non-GAAP OI&Eexcludes the portion of interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount and the gains or losses from non-affiliatedinvestments.
GAAP OI&E for the second quarter was an expense of $50 million, compared with an expense of $42 million a year earlier andincome of $88 million in the prior quarter. The sequential decrease primarily reflects a reduction of $130 million in net unrealizedgains from an equity investment. Non-GAAP OI&E was an expense of $49 million, compared with an expense of $39 million ayear earlier and an expense of $45 million in the prior quarter. The year-on-year expense increase primarily reflects higherinterest expense from our $5 billion note issuance in June 2021 and lower average yields in interest income.
On June 28, 2021, we simplified our corporate structure by repatriating the economic rights of certain non-U.S. intellectualproperty to the United States via domestication of a foreign subsidiary. The GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter was0.9 percent, reflecting a discrete benefit from the domestication of $252 million. Additionally, the effective rate was affected bytax benefits related to foreign-derived intangible income deduction, the U.S. research tax credit, and excess tax benefits relatedto stock-based compensation. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 13.2 percent.
Net Income and EPSGAAP net income for the second quarter was a record $2.37 billion. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the second quarterwere $0.94, up 276 percent from a year earlier and up 24 percent sequentially.
Non-GAAP net income was $2.62 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $1.04, up 89 percent from a year earlierand up 14 percent sequentially.

Balance Sheet and Cash FlowCash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $19.65 billion, up from $10.98 billion a year earlier and up from $12.67billion in the prior quarter. The year-on-year and sequential increases reflect $5 billion of debt issuance proceeds and free cashflow generation.
Accounts receivable was $3.59 billion compared with $2.08 billion a year earlier and $3.02 billion in the prior quarter. DSO was50 days, up from 49 days both a year earlier and in the prior quarter.
Inventory was $2.11 billion compared with $1.40 billion a year earlier and $1.99 billion in the prior quarter. Outstanding inventorypurchase and long-term supply obligations were $4.79 billion, up from $2.04 billion a year earlier and up from $3.46 billion in theprior quarter, due to longer lead-times throughout the supply chain and long-term capacity obligations. DSI was 84 days, up from80 days a year earlier and down from 89 days in the prior quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities was a record $2.68 billion, up from $1.57 billion a year earlier and up from $1.87 billion in theprior quarter. The year-on-year increase primarily reflects higher operating income, partially offset by higher accounts receivabledue to shipment linearity. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher operating income.
Free cash flow was $2.48 billion, up from $1.35 billion a year earlier and up from $1.56 billion in the previous quarter.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $286 million, including amortization of intangible assets related to the Mellanoxacquisition. Capital expenditures including principal payments on property and equipment were $204 million.
We paid quarterly cash dividends of $100 million in the second quarter.
We are working through the regulatory process for our pending acquisition of Arm Ltd. Although some Arm licensees haveexpressed concerns or objected to the transaction, and discussions with regulators are taking longer than initially thought, weare confident in the deal and that regulators should recognize the benefits of the acquisition to Arm, its licensees, and theindustry.
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022 OutlookOur outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 is as follows:
• Revenue is expected to be $6.80 billion, plus or minus 2 percent.
• GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 65.2 percent and 67.0 percent, respectively, plus or minus 50basis points.
• GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $1.96 billion and $1.37 billion, respectively.
• GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are both expected to be an expense of approximately $60 million,excluding gains and losses on equity securities.
• GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are both expected to be 11 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, excluding any discrete itemssuch as excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation.
• Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $200 million to $225 million, including principal payments onproperty and equipment.

Non-GAAP MeasuresTo supplement NVIDIA’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company usesnon-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP grossprofit, 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 forNVIDIA’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown areconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures toexclude stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, IP-related costs, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments, mark to market adjustments of our publicly traded equity securities, interest expense related toamortization of debt discount, the associated tax impact of these items where applicable, and domestication tax benefit. Freecash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases of property and equipment andintangible assets and principal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation ofits 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 forthe company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company’s non-GAAP measures may be differentfrom non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
