FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

NVIDIA REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2009

SANTA CLARA, CA—FEBRUARY 10, 2009—NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) 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 of fiscal 2008, a decrease of 60 percent. For the twelve months ended January 25, 2009, revenue was $3.4 billion compared to $4.1 billion for the twelve months ended January 27, 2008, a decrease of 16 percent.

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 expenses, and the associated tax impact of these items, was $303.3 million, or $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.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2009 Highlights:

·   NVIDIA announced the NVIDIA Ion™ Platform, which combines the highly acclaimed GeForce®  9400 GPU with the Intel Atom CPU.  The combination enables the smallest premium PC experience available today, making it ideal for the exploding category of mini-notebooks and compact PCs.

·   NVIDIA introduced GeForce® 3D Vision™, the world’s first high-definition 3D stereo solution for the home.  3D Vision is a combination of high-tech wireless glasses, a high-power infrared (IR) emitter and advanced software that automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D experiences.

·     NVIDIA unveiled the GPU-based Tesla™ Personal Supercomputer, which delivers the equivalent computing power of a cluster, at 1/100th of the price and in a form factor of a standard desktop workstation.

·   NVIDIA announced that Electronic Arts, THQ and 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, have licensed NVIDIA PhysX®  technology as a development platform which will be available for use by each of the company’s studios worldwide.

·   NVIDIA announced it is working closely with Wipro to provide CUDA™ professional services to their joint customers worldwide.  Wipro’s Product Engineering Services group will accelerate the development efforts of companies with vast software portfolios seeking to exploit parallel computing with the GPU.

·   NVIDIA announced that National Taiwan University (NTU), one of the world’s leading research universities, has been named as Asia’s first CUDA Center of Excellence.  NTU joins previously recognized CUDA Centers of Excellence, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and University of Utah.

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.
