NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal 2022

Wed­nes­day, Novem­ber 17, 2021

  • Record reve­nue of $7.10 bil­li­on, up 50 per­cent from a year earlier
  • Record Data Cen­ter reve­nue of $2.94 bil­li­on, up 55 per­cent from a year earlier
  • Record Gam­ing reve­nue of $3.22 bil­li­on, up 42 per­cent from a year earlier

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today repor­ted record reve­nue for the third quar­ter ended Octo­ber 31, 2021, of $7.10 bil­li­on, up 50 per­cent from a year ear­lier and up 9 per­cent from the pre­vious quar­ter, with record reve­nue from the company’s Gam­ing, Data Cen­ter and Pro­fes­sio­nal Visua­liza­ti­on mar­ket platforms.

GAAP ear­nings per diluted share for the quar­ter were $0.97, up 83 per­cent from a year ago and up 3 per­cent from the pre­vious quar­ter. Non-GAAP ear­nings per diluted share were $1.17, up 60 per­cent from a year ago and up 13 per­cent from the pre­vious quarter.

The third quar­ter was out­stan­ding, with record reve­nue,” said Jen­sen Huang, foun­der and CEO of NVIDIA. “Demand for NVIDIA AI is sur­ging, dri­ven by hypers­ca­le and cloud sca­le-out, and broa­de­ning adop­ti­on by more than 25,000 com­pa­nies. NVIDIA RTX has reinven­ted com­pu­ter gra­phics with ray tra­cing and AI, and is the ide­al upgrade for the lar­ge, gro­wing mar­ket of gamers and crea­tors, as well as desi­gners and pro­fes­sio­nals buil­ding home workstations.

Our GTC event series show­ca­ses the expan­ding uni­ver­se of NVIDIA acce­le­ra­ted com­pu­ting. Last week’s event was our most suc­cessful yet, high­light­ing diver­se appli­ca­ti­ons, inclu­ding sup­p­ly-chain logi­stics, cyber­se­cu­ri­ty, natu­ral lan­guage pro­ces­sing, quan­tum com­pu­ting rese­arch, robo­tics, self-dri­ving cars, cli­ma­te sci­ence and digi­tal biology.

Omni­ver­se was a major the­me at GTC. We show­ed what is pos­si­ble when we can jump into vir­tu­al worlds. Omni­ver­se will be used from col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve design, cus­to­mer ser­vice ava­tars and video con­fe­ren­cing, to digi­tal twins of fac­to­ries, pro­ces­sing plants, even enti­re cities. Omni­ver­se brings tog­e­ther NVIDIA’s exper­ti­se in AI, simu­la­ti­on, gra­phics and com­pu­ting infra­struc­tu­re. This is the tip of the ice­berg of what’s to come,” he said.

NVIDIA paid quar­ter­ly cash divi­dends of $100 mil­li­on in the third quar­ter. It will pay its next quar­ter­ly cash divi­dend of $0.04 per share on Decem­ber 23, 2021, to all share­hol­ders of record on Decem­ber 2, 2021.

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 third quar­ter 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 fourth quar­ter and fis­cal year 2022.

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 stock-based com­pen­sa­ti­on expen­se, acqui­si­ti­on-rela­ted and other cos­ts, IP-rela­ted 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, and dome­sti­ca­ti­on 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.

About NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) inven­ti­on of the GPU in 1999 spark­ed the growth of the PC gam­ing mar­ket and has rede­fi­ned modern com­pu­ter gra­phics, high per­for­mance com­pu­ting and arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence. The company’s pio­nee­ring work in acce­le­ra­ted com­pu­ting and AI is res­ha­ping tril­li­on-dol­lar indus­tries, such as trans­por­ta­ti­on, health­ca­re and manu­fac­tu­ring, and fue­ling the growth of many others.
