NEW YORK, NY -- NVIDIA announced at a financial conference this afternoon that it has provided a financial outlook for fiscal year 2013, which begins Jan. 30, 2012.
The company anticipates revenue of $4.7 billion to $5.0 billion.
It expects GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of approximately 51 percent to 53 percent.
NVIDIA further anticipates GAAP operating expenses of $1.54 billion to $1.61 billion, and non-GAAP operating expenses of $1.38 billion to $1.43 billion. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs.
"We see growth across our entire GPU and mobile-processor business," said Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA president and chief executive officer. "The future for computing is visual and mobile, and we are well positioned to lead in this new era."
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the company's outlook for fiscal 2013, prepared in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses. In order for NVIDIA's investors to be better able to compare its outlook with the results 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 stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its outlook using 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 or outlook prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
