"We have turned the corner," said Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA's president and chief executive officer. "We have restored our speed of execution and are regaining share in desktops. Only seven months after shipping our first processor based on the Fermi architecture, we have begun production on seven more GPUs, including the GeForce GTX 580, which sets a new standard for performance. The Fermi architecture is now in every segment of our desktop, notebook and workstation product lines.
"We've also made big strides this quarter in positioning ourselves at the center of cloud and mobile computing, which are transforming the computer landscape. Tesla now powers some of the world's fastest and greenest supercomputers. And Tegra will soon be featured in a range of smartphones and tablets we're building with our partners," he said.
Outlook
The outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 is as follows:
- Revenue is expected to be up 3 to 5 percent from the third quarter.
- GAAP gross margin is expected to be flat.
- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $300 million.
- GAAP tax rate is expected to be 18 to 20 percent.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Highlights:
- NVIDIA held the second annual GPU Technology Conference, which
highlighted the growth of parallel computing, with five times more papers
submitted and twice as many sessions.
- The Tianhe-1A supercomputer, which incorporates 7,168 GPUs, was
unveiled as the world's fastest supercomputer. Housed in the National
Supercomputer Center, in Tianjin, China, the system is three-times more
energy efficient than an equivalent CPU-only system and takes up half as
much floor space.
- NVIDIA launched 12 new GPU products, including the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTS 450 and GT 430.
- After quarter end, NVIDIA launched and shipped the GeForce GTX 580 graphics card, which was received positively by media and industry analysts.

Conference Call and Web Cast Information

financial prospects today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time). To listen to the call, please dial (212) 231-2900. A live Web cast
(listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at the NVIDIA

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement NVIDIA's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 net income,
non-GAAP net income per 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 a charge related to the weak die/packaging
material set that was used in certain versions of NVIDIA's previous
generation MCP and GPU products, net of insurance reimbursements, a
non-recurring charge related to a tender offer purchase, 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 our non-GAAP measures may be
different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

(A) Excludes a charge related to the weak die/packaging material set that
was used in certain versions of our previous generation chips, net of
insurance reimbursement.
(B) During the three months ended April 26, 2009, the Company completed a
tender offer to purchase outstanding stock options which resulted in a
charge of $140.2 million, $11.4 million of which was associated with
cost of revenue and $128.8 million with operating expenses.
(C) The income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments has only been reported
during fiscal quarters that include other GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling
items, as well as in the full fiscal year results during which the GAAP
to non-GAAP reconciling items occur. As such, any effective tax rate
differences between GAAP and non-GAAP results that result from such
adjustments have not been reported separately in the non-GAAP results
for a fiscal quarter that does not contain other GAAP to non-GAAP
reconciling items.
(D) Reflects an adjustment to diluted shares to reflect a non-GAAP net
income versus a GAAP net loss.
