NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal 2023

NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported revenue for the third quarter ended October 30, 2022, of $5.93 billion, down 17% from a year ago and down 12% from the previous quarter. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.27, down 72% from a year ago and up 4% from the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.58, down 50% from a year ago and up 14% from the previous quarter.

"We are quickly adapting to the macro environment, correcting inventory levels and paving the way for new products," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "The ramp of our new platforms - Ada Lovelace RTX graphics, Hopper AI computing, BlueField and Quantum networking, Orin for autonomous vehicles and robotics, and Omniverse-is off to a great start and forms the foundation of our next phase of growth.
"NVIDIA's pioneering work in accelerated computing is more vital than ever. Limited by physics, general purpose computing has slowed to a crawl, just as AI demands more computing. Accelerated computing lets companies achieve orders-of-magnitude increases in productivity while saving money and the environment," he said. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, NVIDIA returned to shareholders $3.75 billion in share repurchases and cash dividends, bringing the return in the first three quarters to $9.29 billion. As of October 30, 2022, the company had $8.28 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization through December 2023.

NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on December 22, 2022, to all shareholders of record on December 1, 2022.

NVIDIA's outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 is as follows:
  • Revenue is expected to be $6.00 billion, plus or minus 2%.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 63.2% and 66.0%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $2.56 billion and $1.78 billion, respectively.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are expected to be an income of approximately $40 million, excluding gains and losses from non-affiliated investments.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be 9.0%, plus or minus 1%, excluding any discrete items.

"Professional Visualization: Third-quarter revenue was $200 million, down 65% from a year ago"

HHave Nvidia been doing creative accounting again and have been hiding crypto revenue in sectors other than gaming? Oh, doesn't matter, the court decided that shareholders don't have to be told the truth.

I'd like to see unit sales, on graphics card, year on year. I'd like to know the volume of 4090 sold in comparison to the previous gen.

nVidia has been taking lessons from news "channels" in terms of visualization of stats.

Yup! NVIDIA needs a massive spanking for screwing over their customers like this for those crazy profits. The 4080 should have been $900, TOPS.

ATI, please provide the massive spanking to leather jacket man this generation.

Nice. Proud to say I haven't bought anything new from NVidia since 2017 (1080 Ti) - everything since has been used and it'll stay that way with their ludicrous pricing. Hopefully more people are doing the same and just buying 2nd and 3rd hand.

I wouldn't pay more than $800 for the 4090. And that's exactly what I'll get it for in a couple years.

Margins for this quarter were 53.6%. The move to restrict 3090 stock and introduce only the 4080 and 4090 in the Ada stack is a way to increase margins. Let's hope it doesn't work as well as they expect it to.

It already has because Scalpers bought them out already.

OH, I have such a headache
One way to increase revenue is to make the product purchasable.
Seems like they can't "Read the room" keeping prices so high they cost more than 3 times what a CPU or RAM cost.
You would think they would lower the cost of a video card to the price of a MB or RAM or even a CPU. Hope to see them lowering prices while delivering new products to the ones that count the most the consumer.
I haven't been able to purchase a video card from Nvidia for YEARS. I Have to get them on sale and the cards I can get are years old I am still on a 1650 super.

The scalpers bought out the original Stock which already had the high margins, in Nvidia's eyes the 4090 and 4080 instantly selling out at +50% margins is a huge success. Nvidia doesn't care that they were bought by Scalpers and not gamers, they just care that the cards were sold.

Based on the numbers, it looks like nGreedia is shifting all the focus on the Data Center products, while the Gaming area is becoming lesser and lesser important for those arseholes.

On the bright side with the advent of the CPU/GPU combo they maybe in for some stiff competition.

The 4090 is selling well because there is nothing comparable in performance. Even AMD's new GPUs aren't expected to exceed its performance, so the 4090 will continue to have a place in the market for the foreseeable future

It's all the lower SKUs that have me concerned as an NVidia investor. AMD has a product that is cheaper to manufacture at the same performance level meaning that either NVidia's sales or profit margin are going to suffer in the upcoming quarters.
