NVIDIA today reported revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, ended July 28, 2013, of $977.2 million, up 2.4 percent from $954.7 million in the previous quarter. GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.16, up 23.1 percent from $0.13 in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.23, up 27.8 percent from $0.18 in the previous quarter.
"The GPU business continued to grow, driving our fourth consecutive quarter of record margins," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of NVIDIA. "We also began shipping GRID virtualized graphics, which puts the power of NVIDIA GPUs into the datacenter. We look forward to a strong second half, with new Tegra 4 devices coming to market, SHIELD moving beyond the U.S. and broader sampling of Project Logan, our next-generation Tegra processor, which brings Kepler, the world's most advanced GPU, to mobile."
On May 14, 2013, NVIDIA executed an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. such that NVIDIA paid Goldman Sachs $750 million and Goldman Sachs delivered 36.9 million shares on May 16, 2013. These shares were accounted for as treasury share repurchases that reduced the outstanding common shares used to calculate EPS. Upon final settlement of the ASR, Goldman Sachs may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to NVIDIA or NVIDIA may be required to deliver shares of its common stock, or elect to make a cash payment, to Goldman Sachs, based on the terms and conditions under the ASR. NVIDIA currently expects that, at the time of settlement, Goldman Sachs will be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to NVIDIA.
