NVIDIA today reported revenue for the first quarter ended April 28, 2019, of $2.22 billion compared with $3.21 billion a year earlier and $2.21 billion in the previous quarter. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.64, compared with $1.98 a year ago and $0.92 in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.88 compared with $2.05 a year earlier and $0.80 in the previous quarter.

"NVIDIA is back on an upward trajectory," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "We've returned to growth in gaming, with nearly 100 new GeForce Max-Q laptops shipping. And NVIDIA RTX has gained broad industry support, making ray tracing the standard for next-generation gaming.



"Despite the near-term pause in demand from hyperscale customers, the application of AI continues to accelerate. AI adoption is accelerating in the world's largest industries, moving beyond the cloud to the edge where AI processing has to be instantaneous. We're excited about our pending acquisition of Mellanox, which will help us drive data center architecture for high performance computing and AI from the cloud to the edge," he said.

Capital Return
As previously communicated, NVIDIA intends to return $3.00 billion to shareholders by the end of fiscal 2020, including $700 million in share repurchases made during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the company returned $97 million in quarterly cash dividends.

NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on June 21, 2019, to all shareholders of record on May 31, 2019.

NVIDIA's outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 is as follows:
  • Revenue is expected to be $2.55 billion, plus or minus 2 percent.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 59.2 percent and 59.5 percent, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $985 million and $765 million, respectively.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are both expected to be income of approximately $27 million.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are both expected to be 10 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, excluding any discrete items. GAAP discrete items include excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation, which are expected to generate variability on a quarter by quarter basis.

Highlights
During the quarter, NVIDIA announced that it reached a definitive agreement to acquire Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. for $125 per share in cash, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $6.9 billion. Once complete, the combination is expected to be immediately accretive to NVIDIA's non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP earnings per share, and free cash flow. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the calendar year.

Since the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, NVIDIA has achieved progress in these areas:

They don't, and aren't. :) I've posted a number of links to financial articles in a few other NVidia news threads over the last few months indicating poor sales performance for Turing, including one where an NVidia rep admitted it on an investor / sales call quite openly. Given the pricing scheme, it's not shocking at all that their performance isn't good right now.

I always love articles like this one, too with the quotes - it's funny to see these CEOs doing their spin-doctoring for investors - "While we know our stock has dropped 46% since October 1st, 2018, I'm going to explain to you all why that is absolutely AWESOME and how NVidia is doing GREAT!" (NVidia stock is down almost 3% today, so it seems the investors aren't buying what Jensen's selling)

I'd actually have more respect for these CEOs if they'd just deliver it straight with no sugarcoating. Come on Intel, get that Xe video card released and PLEASE make it competitive.
