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 income from operations, 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 termination costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, IP-related
costs, other, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments, 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.
