Net Income Increases 78 Percent Year-Over-Year
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NVIDIA Corporation
(Nasdaq: NVDA), the world leader in visual computing technologies, today
reported financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and the
fiscal year ended January 27, 2008.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, revenue increased to a record $1.20
billion, compared to $878.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, an
increase of 37 percent. Net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008
was $257.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to net income of
$163.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal
2007, a net income increase of 57 percent.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, which excludes
stock-based compensation charges, a charge for in-process research and
development related to an acquisition closed during the quarter, and the
associated tax impact, was $292.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share.
Annual revenue for the fiscal year ended January 27, 2008 was a record
$4.10 billion, compared to revenue of $3.07 billion for the fiscal year ended
January 28, 2007, an increase of 34 percent. GAAP net income for the fiscal
year ended January 27, 2008 was $797.6 million, or $1.31 per diluted share,
compared to GAAP net income of $448.8 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for
the fiscal year ended January 28, 2007, a net income increase of 78 percent.
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended January 27, 2008, which
excludes stock-based compensation charges, a charge for in-process research
and development related to an acquisition closed during the year, and the
associated tax impact, was $919.3 million, or $1.56 per diluted share.
"Fiscal 2008 was another outstanding and record year for us. Strong demand
for GPUs in all market segments drove our growth. Relative to Q4 one year
ago, our discrete GPU business grew 80%. Our growth reflects the
ever-increasing use of rich graphics in applications from Google Earth to
Apple iTunes to online virtual worlds," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO
of NVIDIA.
Mr. Huang continued: "This is the era of visual computing. The richness of
the graphics is increasingly central to our computing experience. And at the
core of that experience is the GPU, the processor that defines the modern PC."

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of certain
components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP
gross profit, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share.
In order for our investors to be better able to compare our current results
with those of previous periods, we have shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-
GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP
financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation, patent license fees
for past usage, in-process research & development charges related to
acquisitions, a non-recurring credit associated with the net cumulative impact
of estimating forfeitures as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, and the
associated tax impact, where applicable. We believe the presentation of our
non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user's overall understanding of our
historical financial performance. The presentation of our non-GAAP financial
measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our
financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures
may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
