Risks Related to Demand, Supply, and Manufacturing
We may still be unable to secure sufficient commitments for capacity to address our business needs.
Our reputation and customer relationships could be damaged and we could lose revenue and market share.
- changes in end-user demand;
- purchasing decisions made, and inventory levels held by, distributors, ODMs, OEMs, system integrators, other channel partners and other third parties;
- the availability of third-party content on our platforms, such as GeForce NOW;
- the demand for accelerated computing, AI-related cloud services, or large language models;
- our customers' ability to invest in AI infrastructure.
We continue to increase our supply and capacity purchases with existing and new suppliers to support our demand projections and increasing complexity of our data center products.
With these additions, we have also entered and may continue to enter into prepaid manufacturing and capacity agreements to supply both current and future products.
Our expanding product portfolio and varying component compatibility and quality may lead to increased inventory levels.
We have introduced a new product and architecture cadence of our Data Center solutions where we seek to complete new computing solutions each year and provide a greater variety of Data Center offerings.
For example, our gross margins in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 were negatively impacted by inventory provisions for low-yielding Blackwell material.
We incur significant engineering development resources for new products, and changes to our product roadmap may impact our ability to develop other products or adequately manage our supply chain cost.
Customers may delay purchasing existing products as we increase the frequency of new products or may not be able to adopt our new products as fast as forecasted, both impacting the timing of our revenue and supply chain cost.
We may not be able to generate significant revenue from them.
cryptocurrency mining, on demand for our products.
Our inability to accurately predict our demand that arises from new use cases may create volatility in our revenue.
- lack of guaranteed supply of wafer, component and capacity;
- decommitment by our suppliers;
- integration of new suppliers and contract manufacturers creating more complexity in managing multiple suppliers with variations in production planning, execution, and logistics;
- suppliers extending lead times and/or increasing costs during shortages; and
The market in China, where our offerings are limited by export controls, is highly competitive and we expect it to remain competitive going forward.
supply-chain attacks or other business disruptions.
These datasets may be flawed, insufficient, or contain certain biased information, and may otherwise decrease resilience to security incidents that may compromise the integrity of our AI outputs, leading to potential reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, or adverse impacts on the performance and reliability of our products, which could, in turn, affect our partners' operations, customer trust, and our revenue.
demand, access to global markets, hiring, and profitability.
With
We have a small number of partners that are involved in system integration with our key customers.
As our system design becomes increasingly complex, system integrators may be unable to meet specifications of our key customers.
Changes in our partners' or customers' business models or their ownership can reduce the number of partners available to us and harm our ability to sell our advanced data center systems to customers.
Competition for talent drives up costs in the form of cash and stock-based compensation.
We expect to receive additional requests for information in the future.
Such requests may be expensive and burdensome and could negatively impact our business and our relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners.
For example, the EU AI Act became effective on August 1, 2024 and will be fully applicable after a two-year transitional period.
The EU AI Act may impact our ability to train, deploy, or release AI models in the EU.
Several states are considering enacting or have already enacted regulations concerning AI technologies, which may impact our ability to train, deploy, or release AI models, and increase our compliance costs.
Government actions, including trade protection and national and economic security policies of U.S. and foreign government bodies, such as tariffs, import or export regulations, including deemed export restrictions and restrictions on
For example, regulators in China are investigating whether complying with applicable U.S. export controls discriminates unfairly against customers in the China market.
- Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial position and cash flows from operations and prevent us from implementing our strategy or fulfilling our contractual obligations.
We use third parties to manufacture and assemble our products, and we have long manufacturing lead times.
We are not provided guaranteed wafer, component and capacity supply, and our supply deliveries and production may be non-linear within a quarter or year.
If our estimates of customer demand are inaccurate, as we have experienced in the past, there could be a significant mismatch between supply and demand.
While we have in the past entered and may in the future enter into long-term supply and capacity commitments, we may not be able to secure sufficient
commitments for capacity to address our business needs, or our long-term demand expectations may change.
These risks may increase as we shorten our product development cycles, enter new lines of business, or integrate new suppliers or components into our supply chain, creating additional supply chain complexity.
This risk may increase as a result of our platform strategy.
If our existing suppliers are unable to scale their capabilities to meet our supply needs, we may require additional sources of capacity, which may require additional deposits.
- business decisions made by third parties;
- the demand for accelerated or AI-related cloud services, including our own software and NVIDIA DGX Cloud services;
- the demand for our products; or
Demand for our data center systems and products surged in fiscal year 2024.
Entering fiscal year 2025, we are gathering customer demand indications across several product transitions.
We have demand visibility for our new data center products ramping later in fiscal year 2025.
We have increased our supply and capacity purchases with existing suppliers, added new vendors and entered into prepaid manufacturing and capacity agreements.
We may continue to enter into new supplier and capacity arrangements.
Our purchase commitments and obligations for inventory and manufacturing capacity at the end of fiscal year 2024 were impacted by shortening lead times for certain components.
Supply of Hopper architecture products is improving, and demand remains very strong.
We expect our next-generation products to be supply-constrained based upon demand indications.
Our customer orders and longer-term demand estimates may change or may not be correct, as we have experienced in the past.
transitions, and we may be unable to sell multiple product architectures at the same time for current and future architecture transitions.
Deployment of new products to customers creates additional challenges due to the complexity of our technologies, which has impacted and may in the future impact the timing of customer purchases or otherwise impact our demand.
As a result, the decisions made by our multiple OEMs, ODMs, system integrators, distributors, and other channel partners, and in response to changing market conditions and changes in end-user demand for our products, have impacted and could in the future continue to impact our ability to properly forecast demand, particularly as they are based on estimates provided by various downstream parties.
If we underestimate our customers' future demand for our products, our foundry partners may not have adequate lead-time or capacity to increase production and we may not be able to obtain sufficient inventory to fill orders on a timely basis.
If we cannot procure sufficient supply to meet demand or otherwise fail to fulfill our customers’ orders on a timely basis, or at all, our customer relationships could be damaged, we could lose revenue and market share and our reputation could be harmed.
In the past, we have experienced a reduction in average selling prices, including due to channel pricing programs that we have implemented and may continue to implement, as a result of our overestimation of future demand, and we may need to continue these reductions.
We have also written down our inventory, incurred cancellation penalties, and recorded impairments and may have to do so in the future.
We build technology and introduce products for new and innovative use cases and applications, such as NVIDIA DGX Cloud services, NVIDIA AI Foundations, Omniverse platform, LLMs, and generative AI models.
Recent technologies, such as generative AI models, have emerged, and while they have driven increased demand for Data Center, the long-term trajectory is unknown.
Additionally, we started shipping our CPU product offerings, the Grace CPU and Grace Hopper Superchips, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Our ability to adequately predict our CPU demand may create volatility in our revenue or supply levels.
GPUs, which could negatively impact retail prices for our GPUs and reduce demand for our new GPUs.
We also rely on third-party content providers and publishers to make their content available on our platforms, such as GeForce NOW.
Failure by developers, customers, and other third parties to build, enhance, and maintain applications that leverage our platforms, or failure by third-party content providers or publishers to make their content available on reasonable terms or at all for use by our customers or end users on our platforms, could adversely affect customer demand.
These risks further increase when we rely on partners to supply and manufacture components that are used in our products, as these arrangements reduce our direct control over production.
AI software products we or our partners offer rely on
Our sales to China decreased as a percentage of total Data Center revenue from 19% in fiscal year 2023 to 14% in fiscal year 2024.
Although we have not received licenses from the USG to ship restricted products to China, we have started to ship alternatives to the China market in small volumes.
China represented a mid-single digit percentage of our Data Center revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 due to USG licensing requirements and we expect China to be in a similar range in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Demand and Supply
Revenue growth in fiscal year 2025 was driven by data center compute and networking platforms for accelerated computing and AI solutions.
Demand for our Hopper architecture drove our significant growth for the full year.
We began shipping production systems of the Blackwell architecture in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
We may not be able to generate significant revenue from them.
Advancements in accelerated computing and generative AI models, along with the growth in model complexity and scale, have driven increased demand for our Data Center systems.
We continue to increase our supply and capacity purchases with existing and new suppliers to support our demand projections and increasing complexity of our data center products.
With these additions, we have also entered and may continue to enter into prepaid manufacturing and capacity agreements to supply both current and future products.
Our expanding product portfolio and varying component compatibility and quality may lead to increased inventory levels.
We have introduced a new product and architecture cadence of our Data Center solutions where we seek to complete new computing solutions each year and provide a greater variety of Data Center offerings.
We incur significant engineering development resources for new products, and changes to our product roadmap may impact our ability to develop other products or adequately manage our supply chain cost.
Customers may delay purchasing existing products as we increase the frequency of new products or may not be able to adopt our new products as fast as forecasted, both impacting the timing of our revenue and supply chain cost.
Blackwell systems, such as GB200 NVL 72 and NVL 36 as well as B200 are also subject to these requirements and therefore require a license for any shipment to certain entities and to China and Country Groups D1, D4 and D5, excluding Israel.
Additionally, we understand that partners and customers have also not received a license to ship these restricted products.
We ramped new products designed specifically for China that do not require an export control license.
Our Data Center revenue in China grew in fiscal year 2025.
As a percentage of total Data Center revenue, it remains well below levels seen prior to the onset of export controls in October 2023.
The market in China for datacenter solutions remains competitive.
We will continue to comply with export controls while serving our customers.
On January 15, 2025, the USG published the “AI Diffusion” IFR in the Federal Register.
After a 120-day delayed compliance period, the IFR will, unless modified, impose a worldwide licensing requirement on all products classified under Export Control Classification Numbers, or ECCNs, 3A090.a, 4A090.a, or corresponding .z ECCNs, including all related software and technology.
Any system that incorporates one or more of the covered integrated circuits, or ICs, (including but not limited to NVIDIA DGX, HGX, and MGX systems) will be covered by the new licensing requirement.
The licensing requirement will include future NVIDIA ICs, boards, or systems classified with ECCN 3A090.a or 4A090.a, or corresponding .z ECCNs, achieving certain total processing performance and/or performance density.

Demand for our data center systems and products surged in fiscal year 2024.
Entering fiscal year 2025, we are gathering customer demand indications across several product transitions.
We have demand visibility for our new data center products ramping later in fiscal year 2025.
We have increased our supply and capacity purchases with existing suppliers, added new vendors and entered into prepaid manufacturing and capacity agreements.
Our purchase commitments and obligations for inventory and manufacturing capacity at the end of fiscal year 2024 were impacted by shortening lead times for certain components.
We may continue to enter into new supplier and capacity arrangements.
Supply of Hopper architecture products is improving, and demand remains very strong.
We expect our next-generation products to be supply-constrained based upon demand indications.
We build finished products and maintain inventory in advance of anticipated demand.
While we have entered into long-term supply and capacity commitments, we may not be able to secure sufficient commitments for capacity to address our business needs, or our long-term demand expectations may change.
These risks may increase as we shorten our product development cycles, enter new lines of business, or integrate new suppliers or components into our supply chain, creating additional supply chain complexity.
Qualification time for new products, customers anticipating product transitions and channel partners reducing channel inventory of prior architectures ahead of new product introductions can create reductions or volatility in our revenue.
Deployment of new products to customers creates additional challenges due to the complexity of our technologies, which has impacted and may in the future impact the timing of customer purchases or otherwise impact our demand.
We build technology and introduce products for new and innovative use cases and applications such as our NVIDIA DGX Cloud services, Omniverse platform, LLMs, and generative AI models.
Recent technologies, such as generative AI models, have emerged, and while they have driven increased demand for Data Center, the long-term trajectory is unknown.
Our sales to China decreased as a percentage of total Data Center revenue from 19% in fiscal year 2023 to 14% in fiscal year 2024.
We have started to ship alternatives to the China market in small volumes.
China represented a mid-single digit percentage of our Data Center revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 due to USG licensing requirements and we expect China to be in a similar range in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
In February 2023, we assessed the useful lives of our property, plant, and equipment.
Based on advances in technology and usage rate, we increased the estimated useful life of most of our server, storage, and network equipment from three to four or five years, and our assembly and test equipment from five to seven years.
The effect of this change for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2024 was a benefit of $33 million and $102 million for cost of revenue and operating expenses, respectively, which resulted in an increase in operating income of $135 million and net income of $114 million after tax, or $0.05 per both basic and diluted share.
(Continued)
If a contract contains a single performance obligation, no allocation is required.
Additionally, for RSU, PSU, and market-based PSU awards, we estimate forfeitures semi-annually and revise the estimates of forfeiture in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience.
or other third-party claims against us will be resolved without litigation, fines and/or substantial settlement payments or judgments.
Marketable securities are comprised of available-for-sale securities that are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.
We combine the lease and non-lease components in determining the operating lease assets and liabilities.
Investments in Non-Affiliated Entities
Our investment in non-affiliates consists of marketable equity securities, which are publicly traded, and non-marketable equity securities, which are investments in privately held companies.
The standard is effective for our annual reporting for fiscal year 2025 and for interim period reporting starting in fiscal year 2026 retrospectively.
We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The amendments in the standard are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.
Early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted.
