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: Data Center, Gaming, Professional Visualization, and Automotive. On June 7, 2024, we completed a 10-for-1 forward stock split. All share and per share amounts presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. Revenue Revenue for the fourth quarter was a record $39.3 billion, up 78% from a year ago and up 12% sequentially. Fiscal year revenue was $130.5 billion, up 114% from a year ago. Data Center revenue for fiscal 2025 was $115.2 billion, up 142% from a year ago. Data Center revenue for the fourth quarter was a record, up 93% from a year ago and up 16% sequentially. The strong year-on-year and sequential growth was driven by demand for our accelerated computing platform used for large language models, recommendation engines, and generative AI applications. We delivered $11.0 billion of Blackwell architecture revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the fastest product ramp in our company’s history. Blackwell sales were led by large cloud service providers which represented approximately 50% of our Data Center revenue. Data Center compute revenue was $32.6 billion, up 116% from a year ago and up 18% sequentially, driven by demand for our Blackwell computing platform and sequential growth from our H200 offering. Networking revenue was $3.0 billion, down 9% from a year ago and down 3% sequentially. We are transitioning from small NVLink 8 with Infiniband to large NVLink 72 with Spectrum X. Networking experienced growth in Ethernet for AI, which includes Spectrum-X end-to-end ethernet platform, and NVLink products related to the ramp of our Grace Blackwell platform. Gaming revenue for fiscal 2025 was up 9% from a year ago, driven by sales of our GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs. Gaming revenue for the fourth quarter was down 11% from a year ago and down 22% sequentially, due to limited supply for both Blackwell and Ada GPUs. Professional Visualization revenue for fiscal 2025 was up 21% from a year ago. Professional Visualization revenue for the fourth quarter was up 10% from a year ago and up 5% sequentially. These increases were driven by the continued ramp of Ada RTX GPU workstations for use cases such as generative AI-powered design, simulation, and engineering. Automotive revenue for fiscal 2025 was up 55% from a year ago. Automotive revenue for the fourth quarter was up 103% from a year ago and up 27% sequentially. These increases were driven by sales of our self-driving platforms. Gross Margin GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins for the fourth quarter decreased from a year ago and sequentially, primarily due to a transition to more complex and higher cost systems within Data Center. Fiscal 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP gross margin increased from a year ago, driven by a higher mix of Data Center revenue. Expenses GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter were up 48% from a year ago and up 9% sequentially, and non-GAAP operating expenses were up 53% from a year ago and up 11% sequentially. Fiscal 2025 GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses were up 45% and 50% from a year ago, respectively. The fourth quarter and fiscal 2025 year-on-year increases were primarily driven by higher compensation and benefits expenses due to employee growth and compensation increases, and engineering development, compute and infrastructure costs for new product introductions. The sequential increases were primarily driven by engineering development, compute and infrastructure costs for new product introductions. Other Income & Expense and Income Tax GAAP other income and expense (OI&E) includes interest income, interest expense, and gains or losses from non-marketable and publicly-held equity securities. Non-GAAP OI&E excludes the gains or losses from non-marketable and publicly-held equity securities. Interest income for the fourth quarter and fiscal year was $511 million and $1.8 billion, respectively, up from a year ago and sequentially, reflecting growth in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Net gains from non-marketable and publicly-held equity securities for the fourth quarter were $727 million, reflecting fair value adjustments and sales of equity investments. GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was 12.4%, a decrease from a year ago reflecting a higher tax benefit from stock-based compensation. GAAP effective tax rate for the fiscal year was 13.3%, an increase from a year ago primarily reflecting higher pre-tax income and a discrete benefit in fiscal 2024 due to an audit resolution. Non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter and fiscal year was 15.0% and 15.9%, respectively. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $43.2 billion, up from $26.0 billion a year ago and $38.5 billion a quarter ago. The increases primarily reflect higher revenue partially offset by stock repurchases. Accounts receivable was $23.1 billion with 53 days sales outstanding (DSO). Inventory was $10.1 billion with 86 days sales of inventory (DSI). Inventory increased from $7.7 billion, and DSI increased from 78 days sequentially. Purchase commitments and obligations for inventory and manufacturing capacity were $30.8 billion, including new capacity commitments and components. Supply and capacity prepayments were $5.1 billion. Other non-inventory purchase obligations were $14.3 billion, including $10.9 billion of multi-year cloud service agreements. We expect cloud service agreements to be used to support our research and development efforts and our DGX Cloud offerings. Cash flow from operating activities was $16.6 billion, up from $11.5 billion a year ago and down from $17.6 billion a quarter ago. Fiscal year cash flow from operating activities was $64.1 billion, up from $28.1 billion a year ago. The year-on-year increases reflect higher revenue. The sequential decrease was driven by a higher accounts receivable balance due to shipment linearity and increased inventory to support our Blackwell product ramp. We utilized cash of $8.1 billion towards shareholder returns, including $7.8 billion in share repurchases and $245 million in cash dividends. In fiscal 2025, we utilized cash of $34.5 billion towards shareholder returns, including $33.7 billion in share repurchases and $834 million in cash dividends. First Quarter of Fiscal 2026 Outlook Outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 is as follows: • Revenue is expected to be $43.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 70.6% and 71.0%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points. • GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $5.2 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. • GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are expected to be an income of approximately $400 million, excluding gains and losses from non-marketable and publicly-held equity securities. • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be 17.0%, plus or minus 1%, excluding any discrete items. ___________________________ For further information, contact: Stewart Stecker Mylene Mangalindan Investor Relations Corporate Communications NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Corporation sstecker@nvidia.com mmangalindan@nvidia.com 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 operating income, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted 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 stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, other, gains from non-marketable and publicly-held equity securities, net, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, and the associated tax impact of these items where applicable. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases related to 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.
