NVIDIA Corporation today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2009 and the fiscal year ended January 25, 2009.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal
2009, revenue was $481.1 million compared to $1.2 billion for the fourth quarter

NVIDIA's results for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), included a net loss of $147.7 million, or $0.27
per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, which
excludes stock-based compensation charges, a benefit from insurance proceeds
received, a non-recurring charge against operating expenses related to
termination of a development agreement, a restructuring credit against operating
expenses, and the associated tax impact of these items, was $94.4 million, or
$0.18 per share.
GAAP net loss for the twelve months
ended January 25, 2009 was $30.0 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to net
income of $797.6 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the twelve months
ended January 27, 2008. Non-GAAP net income for the twelve months ended January
25, 2009, which excludes stock-based compensation charges, a non-recurring
charge against cost of revenue related to a royalty dispute, a
non-recurring warranty charge against cost of revenue, a benefit from insurance
proceeds received, a non-recurring charge against operating expenses related to
termination of a development agreement, a restructuring charge against operating

$0.53 per diluted share, compared to $919.3 million, or $1.56 per diluted share,
for the twelve months ended January 27, 2008.
"The environment is clearly difficult
and uncertain. Our first priority is to set an operating expense level that
balances cash conservation while allowing us to continue to invest in
initiatives that are of great importance to the market and in which we believe
we have industry leadership. We have initiatives in all areas to reduce
operating expenses," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA.
"Although fiscal 2009 was extremely difficult, it was one of our best years of
innovation. We made many important advances in graphics processing with PhysX
and 3D Vision, GPU computing with CUDA and Tesla, and mobile computing with ION
and Tegra. I am pleased with the excellent achievements we made in each of
these important areas."

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations 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 (loss), and non-GAAP
net income (loss) 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,
a non-recurring charge against cost of revenue related to a royalty dispute, a
non-recurring warranty charge against cost of revenue, a restructuring charge
(credit) against operating expenses, a non-recurring charge against operating
expenses related to termination of a development agreement, a benefit from
insurance proceeds received, in-process research & development charges
related to acquisitions, and the associated tax impact of these items, 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.
