A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at NVIDIA s investor relations website, https investor.nvidia.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until NVIDIA s conference call to discuss its financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2027.Non-GAAP MeasuresTo 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. 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 acquisition-related and other costs, other, gains losses from equity securities, net, certain other income and expense, and the associated tax impact of these items where applicable. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA s non-GAAP financial measures no longer exclude stock-based compensation expense. The historical non-GAAP financial information presented has been updated to include stock-based compensation expense. 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 users 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.About NVIDIANVIDIA (NASDAQ NVDA) is the world leader in AI and accelerated computing.###For further information, contact

These platforms incorporate processors, interconnects, software, algorithms, systems, and services to deliver unique value. Our platforms address large markets where our expertise is critical Data Center and Edge Computing. During the second quarter we reclassified a company from AI Clouds, Industrial, Enterprise (ACIE) to Hyperscale due to a change in their business model and recast the prior period revenue associated with this company.RevenueRevenue for the second quarter was a record $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year ago and up 18% sequentially.Data Center revenue for the second quarter was a record $89.0 billion, up 117% from a year ago and up 18% sequentially, driven by the ramp of our Blackwell Ultra infrastructure. Hyperscale revenue more than doubled from a year ago and increased 13% sequentially on the strength of Blackwell Ultra. ACIE revenue increased 138% from a year ago and 25% sequentially driven by end-demand from AI natives, enterprises, and sovereign customers, as well as hyperscalers utilizing AI clouds. Shipments of Data Center Hopper products to China during the quarter were less than 1% of Data Center revenue.Edge Computing revenue for the second quarter was $7.2 billion, up 27% from a year ago and up 13% sequentially. The increases were driven by strong sales of Blackwell workstations, partially offset by slower consumer PC sales that were tempered by elevated memory and systems prices.Gross MarginGAAP and non-GAAP gross margins for the second quarter increased from a year ago on improved mix from Blackwell Ultra. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins were approximately flat sequentially as our Blackwell architecture remains the vast majority of our revenue.ExpensesGAAP operating expenses for the second quarter were up 55% from a year ago and up 10% sequentially, and non-GAAP operating expenses were up 54% from a year ago and up 11% sequentially. These increases were driven by higher compute infrastructure and compensation and benefits costs. Other Income, Net and Income TaxGAAP other income, net includes equity securities gains or losses, interest income, interest expense, and other income and expense. Non-GAAP other income, net excludes equity securities gains or losses and certain other income and expense.Net gains from equity securities for the second quarter were $7.8 billion.GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter was 16.5%, an increase from a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue. Non-GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter was 16.0%.CommitmentsWe continue to make strategic commitments across our supply, infrastructure, and partner ecosystems to capitalize on the substantial growth opportunities ahead of us.We ve partnered with our extensive network of suppliers to secure the critical components needed to meet demand for the next several years. Our commitments increased from $119 billion last quarter to $279 billion, primarily related to the procurement of memory.Our cloud service agreements and data center lease commitments together provide the physical and cloud infrastructure that powers our research and development from the engineering, product design, and testing of our compute chips, networking products, and systems, to the development of our open models, such as NVIDIA Nemotron , NVIDIA Cosmos , and GR00T, and our autonomous vehicle software. Our upcoming data center leases have terms up to twenty years and are expected to commence between the third quarter of fiscal year 2027 and fiscal year 2033.Our equity investments are focused on AI model makers, infrastructure financiers, and other private companies, subject to certain contingencies.Future commitments by fiscal year as of July 26, 2026, were as follows

Additional Commitments Securing land, power and shell for data centers has become the next critical phase in the AI infrastructure buildout. AI clouds and model makers are seeing extraordinary demand for AI infrastructure, yet many are growing faster than their balance sheets and long-term credit profiles can support. In response, we have entered into arrangements that help select customers secure the land, power and data center capacity needed to support their growth. We will focus on exceptional sites where visible, durable demand can support multiple generations of NVIDIA compute.We have partnered with leading AI clouds to enable broader access to our AI infrastructure to serve AI startups, model builders, enterprises, research organizations and sovereign customers. Under these agreements, we will earn revenue on the upfront sale of our infrastructure and if certain criteria are met, we will participate in revenue share generated by the AI clouds from their third-party customers.We signed data center lease agreements with terms of approximately fifteen years that are expected to commence between fiscal year 2028 and fiscal year 2029. We expect to reassign these data center leases to third parties.Future commitments by fiscal year as of July 26, 2026, were as follows

GuaranteesWe have land, power, and shell guarantees for certain AI cloud partners data center lease obligations in the event of their default. The maximum gross exposure under all agreements is $3.5 billion. In August 2026, we entered into guarantees to provide credit support on the land, power, and shell buildout to secure approximately 4.25 gigawatts (GW) at SB Energy's PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Ohio, which will exclusively host NVIDIA infrastructure under 20-year leases to OpenAI, subject to limited exceptions. Our guarantee obligations are capped at a total of $105 billion and become effective in phases as certain conditions are met, including data centers becoming ready for service, with the first expected in fiscal 2029. Our guarantee exposure declines as OpenAI fulfills lease payments. We also have the option to provide credit support in phases for approximately 3.8 additional GW as the site scales. Each generation of NVIDIA infrastructure deployed at PORTS-Pike could represent approximately 1.5 million NVIDIA GPUs, or approximately $150 billion to $200 billion in NVIDIA revenue. Over 20 years, we expect the site can support multiple infrastructure upgrade cycles.The following table summarizes the maximum gross exposure related to our guarantees, including the SB Energy Corp. guarantees signed in August 2026 (in billions)
Land, power, and shell guarantees for AI clouds $ 3.5
SB Energy Corp. guarantees 105.0

Balance Sheet and Cash FlowCash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities were $56.6 billion, up from $53.6 billion a year ago and up from $50.3 billion a quarter ago. These changes were driven by higher free cash flow that was used to return a record of nearly $26.0 billion to shareholders in the second quarter through share repurchases and cash dividends.Accounts receivable was $63.1 billion with 60 days sales outstanding (DSO), up from 45 days sequentially, due to extended payment terms on large, multi-quarter agreements with certain investment-grade customers.Inventory was $31.6 billion, up from $25.8 billion sequentially, as we prepare for the introduction of Vera Rubin in the third quarter.Cash flow from operating activities was $24.1 billion, up from $15.4 billion a year ago and down from $50.3 billion a quarter ago. The year-on-year increase reflects growth in revenue, while the sequential decrease was driven by higher working capital adjustments and cash taxes.We issued $25.0 billion of senior unsecured notes in the second quarter to be used for general corporate purposes.OutlookOutlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 is as follows Revenue is expected to be $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. We are not assuming any Data Center compute revenue from China in our outlook. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 74.0%, plus or minus 50 basis points. GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $9.2 billion and $9.0 billion, respectively.For the full year fiscal 2027, we expect GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates to be between 16.0% and 18.0%, excluding any discrete items and material changes to our tax environment.______________For further information, contact

Non-GAAP MeasuresTo 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. 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 acquisition-related and other costs, other, gains losses from equity securities, net, certain other income and expense, and the associated tax impact of these items where applicable. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA s non-GAAP financial measures no longer exclude stock-based compensation expense. The historical non-GAAP financial information presented has been updated to include stock-based compensation expense. 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.
