Filed November 29, 2006For Securities:NVDA

Summary

NVIDIA Corporation's (NVDA) amended quarterly report for the period ending April 30, 2006, primarily addresses restatements related to stock option accounting errors. The company identified that it had used incorrect measurement dates for stock option grants between fiscal years 2000 and 2004, leading to the recognition of $127.4 million in aggregate non-cash stock-based compensation charges, net of tax effects. These adjustments have been reflected in the restated financial statements for historical periods and impact the current quarter's reporting. Despite these accounting adjustments, the core business performance shows revenue growth, with an increase from $583.8 million in Q1 FY2005 to $681.8 million in Q1 FY2006. Operating income also saw a healthy increase, driven by strong gross profit and controlled operating expenses. The company also completed two acquisitions during the quarter: ULi Electronics, Inc. and Hybrid Graphics Ltd., aimed at strengthening its platform solutions and embedded graphics software capabilities, respectively. Investors should note the significant goodwill and intangible assets added through these acquisitions.
