Overview

Our Company and Our Businesses



NVIDIA pioneered accelerated computing to help solve the most challenging
computational problems. Since our original focus on PC graphics, we have
expanded to several other large and important computationally intensive fields.
Fueled by the sustained demand for exceptional 3D graphics and the scale of the
gaming market, NVIDIA has leveraged its GPU architecture to create platforms for
scientific computing, AI, data science, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and
augmented and virtual reality.

Our two operating segments are "Graphics" and "Compute & Networking," as described in Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, NVIDIA was incorporated in California in April 1993 and reincorporated in Delaware in April 1998.

Recent Developments, Future Objectives and Challenges

Termination of the Arm Share Purchase Agreement



On February 8, 2022, NVIDIA and SoftBank announced the termination of the Share
Purchase Agreement whereby NVIDIA would have acquired Arm from SoftBank. The
parties agreed to terminate because of significant regulatory challenges
preventing the completion of the transaction. We recorded an acquisition
termination cost of $1.35 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023
reflecting the write-off of the prepayment provided at signing in September
2020.


                                       21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Demand



Demand for our products is based on many factors, including our product
introductions and transitions, time to market, competitor product releases and
announcements, competing technologies, and changes in macroeconomic conditions,
including rising inflation, all of which can impact the timing and volume of our
revenue. Product transitions are complex and can negatively impact our revenue
as we manage shipments of prior architecture products and channel partners
prepare and adjust to support new products. GPUs have use cases in addition to
their designed and marketed use case, such as for digital currency mining,
including blockchain-based platforms such as Ethereum. It is difficult for us to
estimate with any reasonable degree of precision the past or current impact of
cryptocurrency mining, or forecast the future impact of cryptocurrency mining,
on demand for our products. Volatility in the cryptocurrency market, including
new compute technologies, price changes in cryptocurrencies, government
cryptocurrency policies and regulations, new cryptocurrency standards, and
changes in the method of verifying blockchain transactions, have impacted and
can in the future impact cryptocurrency mining and demand for our products and
can further impact our ability to estimate demand for our products. Changes to
cryptocurrency standards and processes including, but not limited to, the
pending Ethereum 2.0 standard may decrease the usage of GPUs for Ethereum mining
as well as create increased aftermarket resales of our GPUs, impact retail
prices for our GPUs, increase returns of our products in the distribution
channel, and may reduce demand for our new GPUs. We have introduced Lite Hash
Rate, or LHR, GeForce GPUs with limited Ethereum mining capability and provided
CMP products in an effort to address demand from gamers and direct miners to
CMP. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, most desktop NVIDIA
Ampere architecture GeForce GPU shipments were LHR in our effort to direct
GeForce to gamers. Attempts in the aftermarket to improve the hash rate
capabilities of our LHR cards have been successful and our gaming cards may
become more attractive to miners, increasing demand for our gaming GPUs and
limiting our ability to supply our gaming cards to non-mining customers. We
cannot predict whether our strategy of using LHR cards and CMP will achieve our
desired outcome. Additionally, consumer and enterprise behavior during the
COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult for us to estimate future demand
and may have changed pre-pandemic behaviors. These challenges may be more
pronounced or volatile in the future on both a global and regional basis and may
continue in the future when the effects of the pandemic subside. Restrictions
that may be imposed or reinstated as the pandemic continues may negatively
impact customer demand for our products. Recent lockdown measures due to
COVID-19 containment efforts in China, as well as the war in Ukraine, have
impacted end customer sales in China and EMEA, respectively, and we expect this
impact to continue into the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. During the first
quarter of fiscal year 2023, we paused all direct sales in Russia. Direct sales
to Russia in fiscal year 2022 were immaterial. Our revenue to partners that sell
into Russia may be negatively impacted due to the war in Ukraine and we estimate
that in fiscal year 2022, Russia accounted for approximately 2% of total end
customer sales and 4% of Gaming end customer sales. In estimating demand and
evaluating trends, we make multiple assumptions, any of which may prove to be
incorrect.

Supply

Our manufacturing lead times are very long and in some cases extend twelve
months or longer, which requires us to make estimates of customers' future
demand. These conditions could lead to a significant mismatch between supply and
demand, giving rise to product shortages or excess inventory, and make our
demand forecast more uncertain. To shorten shipment lead times and deliver more
quickly to our customers, we may build finished products and maintain inventory
for anticipated demand that does not materialize. During fiscal year 2022, we
made substantial strides in broadening our supply base to scale our company and
better serve customer demand. Recent COVID-19-related disruptions and lockdowns
in China have created and are expected to continue to create supply and
logistics constraints. The war in Ukraine has further strained global supply
chains and could result in a shortage of key materials that our suppliers,
including our foundry partners, require to satisfy our needs. We expect
continued supply constraints for some of our products, such as Networking,
through the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and potentially
beyond. We have placed orders for certain supply in advance of our historical
lead times, paid premiums and provided deposits to secure future supply and
capacity, and may need to continue to do so in the future. Placing orders in
advance of our historical lead times to secure supply and services in a
constrained environment may result in excess inventory, cancellation penalties
or other charges if there is a partial or complete reduction in long-term demand
for our products. These actions may also increase our product costs, in addition
to increased overall costs as a result of rising inflation. Increased costs for
wafers, components, logistics, and other supply chain expenses, driven in part
by inflation, have negatively impacted and may continue to impact our gross
margin. Given our long lead times on inventory purchasing, we may order
components before our product design is finalized and changes to the product
design or to end demand, which may be perishable or may disappear, could trigger
excess inventory. Our supply deliveries and production may be non-linear within
a quarter or year which could cause changes to expected revenue or cash flows.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COVID-19



The COVID-19 pandemic continued during fiscal year 2023. Most of our employees
continue to work remotely and we have paused most business travel. Our
Professional Visualization market platform benefited from demand for
workstations as enterprises support hybrid work environments. Recent
COVID-19-related disruptions in China are creating supply and logistics
constraints and impacting end customer sales. As our offices begin to reopen, we
expect to incur incremental expenses as we resume onsite services and related
in-office costs.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the timing and overall demand from
customers, and the limited availability of supply chain, logistical services and
component supply may have a material net negative impact on our business and
financial results.

We believe our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, along with commercial paper arrangements, will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, capital asset purchases, dividends, debt repayments and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations.

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 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $8.29 billion, up 46% from a year ago and up 8% sequentially.

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.

                                       23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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 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.

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.



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. These increases were also 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 year 2023 as we integrate our new employees.

Income from operations was $1.87 billion, down 4% from a year ago and down 37%
sequentially. Net income was a $1.62 billion. Net income per diluted share was
$0.64, down 16% from a year ago and down 46% sequentially.

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 operating cash flow generation and $5.00 billion
of debt issuance proceeds. The sequential decrease reflects share repurchases
and advanced payments on supply agreements.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we 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.

Graphics - Graphics segment revenue increased by 34% in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. We continue
to benefit from increased sales of our NVIDIA Ampere architecture products. The
increase in Gaming revenue during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 resulted
from a combination of factors including: the ramp of new RTX 30 Series GPUs; the
release of new games supporting ray tracing; the rising popularity of gaming,
eSports, content creation and streaming; the demand for new and upgraded systems
to support the increase in remote work; and the ability of end users to engage
in cryptocurrency mining.

Compute & Networking - Compute & Networking segment revenue increased by 66% for
the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal
year 2022, driven primarily by sales of NVIDIA Ampere architecture products to
hyperscale customers for cloud computing and workloads such as natural language
processing and deep recommender models, as well as to vertical industries. The
increase also reflects an increase in sales of networking products. CMP
contributed an insignificant amount in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023
compared to $155 million in the prior year.


                                       25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concentration of Revenue



Revenue from sales to customers outside of the United States accounted for 77%
and 86% of total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022,
respectively. Revenue by geographic region is allocated to individual countries
based on the location to which the products are initially billed even if the
revenue is attributable to end customers in a different location.

No customer represented 10% or more of total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 or 2022.



Gross Margin

Our overall gross margin increased to 65.5% for the first quarter of fiscal year
2023 from 64.1% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, reflecting a
higher-end mix of GeForce GPUs within our Graphics segment and a reduced impact
to gross margin for acquisition-related costs.

Inventory provisions totaled $90 million and $58 million for the first quarter
of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. Sales of inventory that was
previously written-off or down totaled $15 million and $21 million for the first
quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result, the overall
net effect on our gross margin was an unfavorable impact of 0.9% and 0.6% in the
first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Graphics - The gross margin of our Graphics segment increased during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022,
primarily due to a higher-end mix within GeForce GPUs.

Compute & Networking - The gross margin of our Compute & Networking segment decreased during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, primarily due to lower contribution of prior architecture boards compared to NVIDIA Ampere architecture systems.

driven by compensation-related costs, including for employee growth and
stock-based compensation, and engineering development costs.

Sales, General and Administrative



Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 14% during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022,
primarily driven by compensation-related costs, associated with employee growth
and stock-based compensation, partially offset by lower legal fees.

Acquisition Termination Cost



We recorded an acquisition termination cost related to the Arm transaction of
$1.35 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 reflecting the write-off
of the prepayment provided at signing in September 2020.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest income consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Interest income was $18 million and $6 million for the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest rates earned on our investments and higher cash balances.



Interest expense is primarily comprised of coupon interest and debt discount
amortization related to our notes. Interest expense was $68 million and $53
million during the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The increase in expense reflects interest on the $5.00 billion note issued in
June 2021.

Other, net, consists primarily of realized or unrealized gains and losses from
investments in non-affiliated entities and the impact of changes in foreign
currency rates. Other, net, was an expense of $13 million and income of $135
million during the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Changes in other, net, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were
primarily driven by mark-to-market impact from public trading equity investments
and changes in value from our non-affiliated private investments. Refer to Note
8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding our investments in non-affiliated entities.

Income Taxes



We recognized an income tax expense of $187 million and $132 million for the
first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. The income tax
expense as a percentage of income before income tax was 10.3% and 6.5% for the
first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the
amount of earnings subject to U.S. tax, the Arm acquisition termination cost
recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 which did not result in any
material tax benefit, and a decreased impact of tax benefit from the U.S.
federal research tax credit, partially offset by the increased benefits from the
foreign-derived intangible income deduction and stock-based compensation. If our
stock price declines, the future tax benefits from stock-based compensation may
decline, resulting in an increase in tax expense.

As of May 1, 2022, we had $20.34 billion in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, a decrease of $0.87 billion from the end of fiscal year
2022. Our investment policy requires the purchase of highly rated fixed income
securities, the diversification of investment types and credit exposures, and
certain maturity limits on our portfolio.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, primarily due to
advanced payments on supply agreements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023
partially offset by an increase in net income adjusted for certain non-cash
items, such as the Arm acquisition termination cost of $1.35 billion during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Cash provided by investing activities increased in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2023 compared to cash used in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022,
primarily driven by higher marketable securities sales and maturities and lower
purchases of marketable securities.

                                       27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Cash used in financing activities increased in the first quarter of fiscal year
2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, which primarily reflects
share repurchases in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Liquidity



Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, our
marketable securities, and the cash generated by our operations. As of May 1,
2022, we had $20.34 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
securities. Our marketable securities consist of debt securities issued by the
U.S. government and its agencies, highly rated corporations and financial
institutions, and foreign government entities, as well as certificates of
deposit issued by highly rated financial institutions. These marketable
securities are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Refer to Note 7 of the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating requirements
for at least the next twelve months, and for the foreseeable future, including
our future supply obligations and additional supply. We continuously evaluate
our liquidity and capital resources, including our access to external capital,
to ensure we can finance our future capital requirements.

We have approximately $1.38 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
securities held outside the U.S. for which we have not accrued any related
foreign or state taxes if we repatriate these amounts to the U.S. Other than
that, substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
held outside of the U.S. as of May 1, 2022 are available for use in the U.S.
without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes. We utilized almost all
of our accumulated U.S. federal research tax credits during fiscal year 2022,
resulting in higher cash tax payments starting in fiscal year 2023. In addition,
beginning in fiscal year 2023, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act requires taxpayers
to capitalize research and development expenditures and to amortize domestic
expenditures over five years and foreign expenditures over fifteen years. This
will impact cash flows from operations and will result in significantly higher
cash tax payments starting in fiscal year 2023.

Capital Return to Shareholders



During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we returned $2.00 billion in share
repurchases and $100 million in 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.

Our cash dividend program and the payment of future cash dividends under that
program are subject to the continuing determination by our Board of Directors
that the dividend program and the declaration of dividends are in the best
interests of our shareholders.

Outstanding Indebtedness and Commercial Paper

As of May 1, 2022, we had outstanding:

•$1.25 billion of Notes Due 2023;

•$1.25 billion of Notes Due 2024;

•$1.00 billion of Notes Due 2026;

•$1.25 billion of Notes Due 2028;

•$1.25 billion of Notes Due 2031;

•$1.00 billion of Notes Due 2040;

•$2.00 billion of Notes Due 2050; and

•$500 million of Notes Due 2060.

We have a $575 million commercial paper program to support general corporate purposes. As of May 1, 2022, we had not issued any commercial paper.

Contractual Obligations



We have unrecognized tax benefits of $800 million, which includes related
interest and penalties of $67 million recorded in non-current income tax payable
as of May 1, 2022. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of any
potential tax liability, interest payments, or penalties in individual years due
to uncertainties in the underlying income tax positions and the timing of the
effective settlement of such tax positions. We are currently under examination
by the

                                       28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Internal Revenue Service for our fiscal years 2018 and 2019. Refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.



Other than the contractual obligations described above, there were no material
changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations
from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 30, 2022. Refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources"
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022 for
a description of our contractual obligations. For a description of our operating
lease obligations, long-term debt, and purchase obligations, refer to Note 3,
Note 12, and Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, respectively.

Climate Change



To date, there has been no material impact to our results of operations
associated with global sustainability regulations, compliance, costs from
sourcing renewable energy or climate-related business trends. There are no
material current climate change regulations impacting us, however, we are
monitoring potential regulation changes in California, the United States, the
United Kingdom, the European Union and other jurisdictions. We believe that
climate change has not had a material impact to our revenue to date. We have not
experienced any significant physical effects of climate change to date on our
operations and results, nor any significant impacts on the cost or availability
of insurance. In fiscal year 2024, we plan to launch Earth-2, an AI
supercomputer dedicated to predicting the impacts of climate change.
