Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenue by Reportable Segments
Compute & Networking - The year-on-year increase was led by growth from hyperscale customers and
also reflects purchases made by several CSP partners to support multi-year cloud service agreements for
our new NVIDIA AI cloud service offerings and our research and development activities. The increase
was also related to the growth in Automotive. CMP contributed an insignificant amount in fiscal year 2023
compared to $550 million in fiscal year 2022.
Graphics - The year-on-year decrease primarily reflects lower sell-in to partners to help reduce channel
inventory levels as global macro-economic conditions and COVID-19 related disruptions in China
weighed on gaming demand.
Concentration of Revenue
Revenue from sales to customers outside of the United States accounted for 69% and 84% of total
revenue for fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decline in revenue outside the U.S. was
primarily driven by China and Taiwan related to Data Center and Gaming. Revenue by geographic region
is allocated to countries based on the billed location even if the revenue may be attributable to end
customers in a different location.
No customer represented 10% or more of total revenue for fiscal years 2023 and 2022.
Gross profit consists of total revenue, net of allowances, less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists
primarily of the cost of semiconductors, including wafer fabrication, assembly, testing and packaging,
board and device costs, manufacturing support costs, including labor and overhead associated with such
purchases, final test yield fallout, inventory and warranty provisions, memory and component costs,
tariffs, and shipping costs. Cost of revenue also includes acquisition-related costs, development costs for
license and service arrangements, IP-related costs, and stock-based compensation related to personnel
associated with manufacturing operations.
Gross margin was 56.9% and 64.9% for fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in fiscal
year 2023 was primarily due to $2.17 billion of inventory provisions in fiscal year 2023, which consists of
approximately $1.04 billion for inventory on hand and approximately $1.13 billion for inventory purchase
obligations in excess of our current demand projections.
Inventory provisions totaled $2.17 billion and $354 million for fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Sales of inventory that was previously written-off totaled $137 million and $111 million for fiscal years
2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result, the overall net effect on our gross margin was an unfavorable
impact of 7.5% and 0.9% in fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Compute & Networking - The gross margin of our Compute & Networking segment decreased during
fiscal year 2023 when compared to fiscal year 2022, primarily due to inventory provisions.
Graphics - The gross margin of our Graphics segment decreased during fiscal year 2023 when compared
to fiscal year 2022, primarily due to inventory and related provisions and lower margins of GeForce
GPUs.
Operating Expenses
The increase in research and development expense for fiscal year 2023 was primarily driven by
increased compensation, employee growth, engineering development costs, and data center
infrastructure.
The increase in sales, general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2023 was primarily driven by
increased compensation and employee growth.
We recorded an acquisition termination cost related to the Arm transaction of $1.35 billion in fiscal year
2023 reflecting the write-off of the prepayment provided at signing.
Interest income consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The
increase in interest income was primarily due to higher yields earned on our investments.
Interest expense is primarily comprised of coupon interest and debt discount amortization related to our
notes. The increase in expense reflects interest on the $5.00 billion debt offering issued in June 2021.
Other, net, consists primarily of realized or unrealized gains and losses from investments in non-affiliated
entities and the impact of changes in foreign currency rates. Change in other, net, compared to fiscal year
2022 was primarily driven by mark-to-market losses from publicly traded equity investments and changes
in value from our non-affiliated private investments. Refer to Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information
regarding our investments in non-affiliated entities.
Income Taxes
We recognized income tax benefit of $187 million for fiscal year 2023 and income tax expense of $189
million for fiscal year 2022. Income tax as a percentage of income before income tax was a benefit of
4.5% for fiscal year 2023 and an expense of 1.9% for fiscal year 2022.
Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or TCJA, requires taxpayers to capitalize
research and development expenditures and to amortize domestic expenditures over five years and
The fiscal year 2023 effective tax rate includes the mandatory capitalization and amortization of research
and development expenses beginning in fiscal year 2023, which resulted in a greater FDII deduction and
significantly increased current taxes, with a corresponding deferred tax benefit at the relevant statutory
tax rate.
The decrease in our effective tax rate in fiscal year 2023 as compared to fiscal year 2022 was primarily
due to increased tax benefits of the FDII deduction, stock-based compensation, and the U.S. federal
research tax credit, relative to lower profitability. This is partially offset by the impact of an increase in the
proportion of earnings subject to U.S. tax in fiscal year 2023 and the one-time benefits of the
domestication of a foreign subsidiary in fiscal year 2022, or the Domestication.
Our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2023 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due
primarily to tax benefits from the FDII deduction, tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and
the U.S. federal research tax credit.
Our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2022 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to tax
benefits from the FDII deduction, income earned in jurisdictions that are subject to taxes lower than the
U.S. federal statutory tax rate, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, recognition of
U.S. federal research tax credit and the one-time benefits of the Domestication.
