NVIDIA CORP Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Oct 28, 2012

Filed November 19, 2012For Securities:NVDA

Summary

NVIDIA Corporation's (NVDA) third quarter fiscal year 2013 filing on November 19, 2012, reported a robust increase in revenue, reaching $1.20 billion, up 12.9% year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by strong performance in the GPU business, fueled by sales of new Kepler-based products and increased notebook revenue due to design wins. The Consumer Products Business (CPB) also saw significant growth, largely attributed to higher sales of Tegra 3-based devices. Despite revenue growth, net income saw a decline from $178.3 million in the prior year to $209.1 million for the current quarter, resulting in a decrease in diluted EPS from $0.29 to $0.33. This was partly influenced by a higher effective tax rate due to the expiration of the US federal research tax credit. The company also announced the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend program, signaling a commitment to returning value to shareholders. NVIDIA's balance sheet remains strong, with $3.43 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
