Overview

Our Company and Our Businesses

NVIDIA pioneered accelerated computing to help solve the most challenging computational problems. Since our original focus on PC graphics, we have expanded to several other large and important computationally intensive fields. Fueled by the sustained demand for exceptional 3D graphics and the scale of the gaming market, NVIDIA has leveraged its GPU architecture to create platforms for scientific computing, AI, data science, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and digital twin applications. NVIDIA is now a data center-scale AI infrastructure company reshaping all industries.

Our two operating segments are “Compute & Networking” and “Graphics.” Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, NVIDIA was incorporated in California in April 1993 and reincorporated in Delaware in April 1998.

Recent Developments, Future Objectives and Challenges

Revenue growth in the second quarter and the first half of fiscal year 2027 was driven by data center products for accelerated computing and AI solutions. Blackwell continued to account for the majority of our system shipments.

Our next-generation Data Center architecture, Vera Rubin, began production shipments in the third quarter of fiscal year 2027. We will be shipping both Blackwell and Rubin systems in the future and are currently experiencing certain supply constraints. Demand estimates for our products can be inaccurate and create volatility in our revenue or supply levels. To secure inventory and capacity to meet demand for the next several years, we have entered into significant commitments and may continue to enter into manufacturing and supply agreements for both current and future products, and we continue to expand our supplier base. The scale and size of our production needs and the complexity of producing our data center systems has caused and could in the future cause delays in production, challenges in managing supply and demand, revenue volatility, quality issues, increased inventory provisions, decreases in product yields, higher material

costs, and increased warranty costs. We have significantly increased our supply and capacity commitments from $119 billion last quarter to $279 billion as of July 26, 2026 to meet future demand. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Customers may postpone purchasing new architectures due to the lack of availability of data center infrastructure to deploy our products, constraints on capital to have sufficient funding to purchase our products, or may adopt new technologies more gradually than anticipated, affecting our revenue timing and supply chain expenses.

The availability of land, power, shell, and capital is crucial to support the buildout of a full data center inclusive of NVIDIA AI infrastructure by our customers and partners, and any shortage of these or other necessary resources could impact our future revenue and financial performance. Expanding land, power, shell, and energy needs to meet demand is a complex, multi-year process that involves significant regulatory, technical, and construction challenges. In addition, access to capital can be particularly constrained for less-capitalized companies, which may face difficulties securing financing for large-scale infrastructure projects. We believe AI clouds and AI model makers have significant demand for training and inference compute and currently lack the ability to secure long-term infrastructure contracts and investment-grade financing capacity to secure the AI infrastructure necessary to grow. These limitations could delay customer and partner deployments or reduce the scale of accelerated computing and AI adoption and may impact the growth of our revenue. We have undertaken initiatives to address these challenges including securing and providing guarantees of land, power, shell, and capacity of select data center infrastructure that customers require to deploy our products. We expect to focus our data center infrastructure initiatives on exceptional sites and apply the same discipline to these initiatives as we do to our supply-chain management by securing critical inputs when we have visibility into customer demand and when doing so enables long-term productive capacity. We expect our large cloud service provider customers and investment grade enterprises to continue to secure land, power, and shell commitments independently. Our land, power, and shell commitments and guarantees may impact our financial results and are dependent on the performance of our customers and partners.

In August 2026, we entered into guarantees with SB Energy Corp. to provide credit support on the land, power, and shell buildout at SB Energy’s PORTS Technology Campus in Pike County, Ohio, covering leases for approximately 4.25 gigawatts of IT load. The campus will exclusively host our compute under 20-year leases to OpenAI, subject to limited exceptions, with our obligation capped at $105 billion in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions including SB Energy, the lessor, satisfying applicable ready-for-service conditions. Each guarantee generally becomes effective upon commencement of the applicable lease, with corresponding guarantee amounts increasing as each of nine data centers is placed in service, which is expected to begin in fiscal year 2029. Our exposure declines as OpenAI fulfills its lease payments. Our guarantees are limited to defined portions of lease and power payments and not the full cost of the site or all of the tenant’s obligations. The guarantees terminate upon certain events, including OpenAI achieving a satisfactory credit rating or after each respective lease term has completed. We also hold an option, exercisable in our sole discretion, to provide additional credit support in phases for approximately 3.8 additional gigawatts as the site scales. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We have made, and may continue to make, investments and commitments in our ecosystem to enhance our growth opportunities, cultivate our ecosystem, and strengthen our competitive position. These include equity investments of $99 billion and equity investment commitments of $25 billion as of July 26, 2026.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, we introduced a new business model with certain select AI cloud partners, to enable broader access to our data center infrastructure products to serve AI startups, model builders, enterprises, research organizations, and sovereign customers. We believe these AI cloud partners have strong customer demand and robust sales pipelines but are constrained by the large-scale infrastructure that is required to meet that demand. Through this model, we expect our AI cloud partners will be able to deploy incremental NVIDIA AI infrastructure, enabling them to serve a broader set of customers and address expanding demand for AI compute. Under these agreements, AI clouds procure our data center infrastructure products and we commit to cloud service agreements, which the AI clouds can unilaterally stop providing to us and sell to third-party customers at more advantageous rates. Our commitments, which are typically six years in duration, totaled $36 billion as of July 26, 2026, and decrease as capacity is used by third-party customers or by us for our research and development efforts. If certain criteria are met, we will participate in revenue share generated by the AI clouds from third-party customers, which may contribute to revenue in the future. If market conditions change, it may negatively impact our financial results. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In August 2026, we entered into memorandums of understanding with several large capital providers to establish independent financing platforms designed to mobilize more than $500 billion of third-party capital over time to support the deployment of AI infrastructure. These and other preliminary arrangements may not lead to definitive agreements. These arrangements are designed for our ecosystem partners and customers to build and gain access to AI infrastructure with the corresponding funding structures independently underwritten and provided by the capital providers. At our option, we may provide limited residual-value support for a portion of specific projects, subject to disciplined risk management and project-by-project evaluation.

Open-source foundation models are rapidly growing in popularity with developers worldwide. We believe the demand for open-source foundation models and applications promotes use of our products worldwide. If these models and

applications are primarily deployed on competitors’ platforms, they could reduce demand for our offerings. Any regulatory control or other restriction that limits our ability to provide products and services that support third-party applications and models could have a material impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The U.S. government, or USG, granted licenses that would allow us to ship small amounts of H200 products to specific China-based customers, but such sales were restricted by the PRC government, and we have been unable to sell all the products for which we have licenses. During the first half of fiscal year 2027, we incurred a $0.4 billion charge associated with H200 for excess inventory and purchase obligations, as the demand for H200 products diminished. After incurring that charge, we have made a fraction of the allowed shipments under the USG’s H200 licensing program. Those shipments account for less than 1% of Data Center revenue in our most recent quarter. The licenses require that the H200s go through an inspection process in the United States prior to any shipment to the customer. As a result, any H200s shipped under the new licensing program are subject to a 25% tariff upon importation into the United States. We have been unable to pass along any of the tariff to our customers, and do not anticipate doing so in the event we are able to sell licensed products into the China market.

Our global supply chain for networking products, including our Israel operations, with approximately 6,200 employees, supporting research and development, operations, and sales and marketing, has not been significantly impacted by the conflict in the Middle East. If the conflict escalates or extends, it could affect future product development, supply chain, and revenue, and create business uncertainty.

Macroeconomic factors, including tariffs, inflation, interest rate changes, capital market volatility, global supply chain constraints, and global economic and geopolitical developments and conflicts, have direct and indirect impacts on our results of operations, particularly demand for our products. While difficult to isolate and quantify, these macroeconomic factors impact our supply chain and manufacturing costs, employee wages, costs for capital equipment, the value of our investments, revenue, and competitive position. Our product and solution pricing generally does not fluctuate with short-term changes in our costs. Within our supply chain, we continuously manage product availability and costs with our vendors.

Refer to Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for a discussion of these factors and other risks.

(1) In the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, we changed our presentation of revenue by market platform and the comparable periods have been recast.

(2) During the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, we reclassified a company from ACIE to Hyperscale due to a change in their business model and recast the prior period revenue associated with this company.

Revenue was $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year ago and up 18% sequentially.

Data Center revenue was $89.0 billion, up 117% from a year ago and up 18% sequentially, driven by the ramp of our Blackwell Ultra infrastructure. Hyperscale revenue more than doubled from a year ago and increased 13% sequentially on the strength of Blackwell Ultra. ACIE revenue increased 138% from a year ago and 25% sequentially driven by end-demand from AI natives, enterprises, and sovereign customers, as well as hyperscalers utilizing AI clouds. Shipments of Data Center Hopper products to China during the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 were less than 1% of Data Center revenue.

Edge Computing revenue was $7.2 billion, up 27% from a year ago and up 13% sequentially. The increases were driven by strong sales of Blackwell workstations, partially offset by slower consumer PC sales that were tempered by elevated memory and systems prices.

Gross margin increased from a year ago on improved mix from Blackwell Ultra. Gross margin was approximately flat sequentially as our Blackwell architecture remains the vast majority of our revenue.

Operating expenses were up 55% from a year ago and up 10% sequentially. These increases were driven by higher compute infrastructure and compensation and benefits costs.

Compute & Networking revenue – The year-over-year increase in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027 was driven by the ramp of our Blackwell Ultra infrastructure.

Graphics revenue – The year-over-year increase in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027 was driven by sales of our Blackwell architecture.

Reportable segment operating income – The year-over-year increase in Compute & Networking segment operating income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 was driven by the growth in revenue. The year-over-year increase in Compute & Networking segment operating income in the first half of fiscal year 2027 was driven by the growth in revenue and the non-recurrence of a $4.5 billion charge associated with H20 excess inventory and purchase obligations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The year-over-year increase in Graphics segment operating income in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027 was driven by the growth in revenue.

Concentration of Revenue

We refer to customers who purchase products directly from NVIDIA as direct customers, such as AIBs, distributors, ODMs, OEMs, CSPs, AI model makers, and system integrators. Certain direct customers may use either internal resources or third-party system integrators to complete their build. We refer to indirect customers as those who purchase products through our direct customers; indirect customers include CSPs, AI clouds, AI model makers, enterprises, and public sector entities. Our revenue is concentrated among a limited number of direct and indirect customers and this trend may continue.

Direct Customers – For the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, one direct customer represented 16% of total revenue, which was primarily attributable to the Compute & Networking segment. For the first half of fiscal year 2027, three direct customers represented 16%, 15%, and 13% of total revenue, all of which was primarily attributable to the Compute & Networking segment.

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, two direct customers represented 23% and 16% of total revenue, all of which was primarily attributable to the Compute & Networking segment. For the first half of fiscal year 2026, two direct customers represented 20% and 15% of total revenue, all of which was primarily attributable to the Compute & Networking segment.

Indirect Customers – Indirect customer revenue is an estimation based upon multiple factors including customer purchase order information, product specifications, internal sales data, and other sources. Indirect customers primarily purchase our products through system integrators and distributors.

We generate a significant amount of our revenue from a limited number of indirect customers, some individually representing 10% or more of our revenue. Certain companies purchase cloud and related services through various direct and indirect customers. We estimate that one AI research and deployment company contributed a meaningful amount of our revenue by purchasing cloud services from our customers in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027.

Revenue by geographic region is designated based on the location of the headquarters of direct customers. The end customer and shipping location may be different from our direct customers’ headquarters location. Revenue from sales to customers headquartered outside of the United States accounted for 38% and 30% of total revenue for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027, respectively, and 30% and 35% of total revenue for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2026, respectively.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit consists of total net revenue 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 intangible amortization expense, IP-related costs, and stock-based compensation related to personnel associated with manufacturing operations.

Gross margin increased to 75.0% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 compared to 72.4% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, and 75.0% for the first half of fiscal year 2027 compared to 66.6% for the first half of fiscal year 2026 due to improved mix from Blackwell Ultra. Gross margin for the first half of fiscal year 2026 was also impacted by a $4.5 billion charge associated with H20 excess inventory and purchase obligations.

Provisions for inventory and excess inventory purchase obligations totaled $985 million and $2.1 billion for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027, respectively. Sales of previously reserved inventory and settlements of excess inventory purchase obligations resulted in a provision release of $177 million and $280 million for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027, respectively. The net effect on our gross margin was an unfavorable impact of 0.8% and 1.0% in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027, respectively.

Provisions for inventory and excess inventory purchase obligations totaled $1.0 billion and $6.3 billion for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2026, respectively, including $4.5 billion associated with H20 excess inventory and purchase obligations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Sales of previously reserved inventory and settlements of excess inventory purchase obligations resulted in a provision release of $501 million and $937 million for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2026, respectively. The net effect on our gross margin was an unfavorable impact of 1.1% and 5.9% in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2026, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $11.8 billion and $4.8 billion for the second quarter, and $23.4 billion and $7.9 billion for the first half, of fiscal years 2027 and 2026, respectively. Income tax as a percentage of income before income tax was 16.5% and 15.3% for the second quarter, and 16.5% and 14.9% for the first half, of fiscal years 2027 and 2026, respectively.

The effective tax rate increased primarily due to a lower percentage of tax benefits from stock-based compensation, foreign-derived deduction eligible income, and the U.S. federal research tax credit relative to the increase in income before income tax.

Our effective tax rates for the first half of fiscal years 2027 and 2026 were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits from foreign-derived deduction eligible income, income earned in jurisdictions that were subject to taxes at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, stock-based compensation, and the U.S. federal research tax credit.

Our fixed-income security investments include highly rated, diversified investment types and credit exposures with shorter maturities.

Cash provided by operating activities increased in the first half of fiscal year 2027 compared to the first half of fiscal year 2026 due to higher revenue, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable due to extended payment terms on large multi-quarter agreements with certain investment-grade customers.

Cash used in investing activities increased in the first half of fiscal year 2027 compared to the first half of fiscal year 2026, primarily driven by higher investment purchases, partially offset by sales and maturities.

Cash used in financing activities was flat in the first half of fiscal year 2027 compared to the first half of fiscal year 2026, mainly due to higher share repurchases, dividends, and a payment related to Groq, Inc. in the first half of fiscal year 2027, offset by higher cash proceeds from debt issuance.

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash, cash equivalents, marketable debt and equity securities, and cash generated by our operations. As of July 26, 2026, we had $56.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities as well as $42.8 billion of marketable equity securities. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating requirements for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future, including our future obligations. We continuously evaluate our liquidity and capital resources, including our access to external capital, to ensure we can finance future capital requirements and commitments.

Our marketable securities as of July 26, 2026, consist of publicly-held equity securities and debt securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies. These marketable securities are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

At the end of the first half of fiscal year 2027, substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities held outside the U.S. were available for use in the U.S. without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes.

The exception is approximately $1.7 billion, for which we have not accrued the related foreign or state taxes that repatriation would trigger. We made two federal income tax payments in the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, as compared with no estimated tax payments in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.

Capital Return to Shareholders

In the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027, we repurchased 94 million and 203 million shares of our common stock for $19.7 billion and $39.8 billion, respectively.

On May 18, 2026, our Board of Directors approved an additional $80.0 billion in share repurchase authorization, without expiration. As of July 26, 2026, we were authorized, subject to certain specifications, to repurchase up to $99.3 billion of our common stock.

We may execute repurchases from time to time, subject to market conditions, operating requirements and other investment opportunities, in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or in structured share repurchase agreements in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Our share repurchase program may be suspended at any time at our discretion.

We paid cash dividends to our shareholders of $6.0 billion and $6.3 billion during the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027, respectively. On May 18, 2026, we increased our quarterly cash dividend from $0.01 per share to $0.25 per share.

The payment of future cash dividends is subject to our Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the declaration of dividends is in the best interests of our shareholders.

The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 requires a 1% excise tax on certain share repurchases in excess of shares issued for employee compensation made after December 31, 2022. The excise tax is included in our share repurchase cost and was not significant for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027.

Outstanding Indebtedness and Commercial Paper Program

In June 2026, we issued an aggregate of $25.0 billion of senior unsecured notes across seven tranches for general corporate purposes.

Our aggregate debt maturities as of July 26, 2026, by year payable, were as follows:

Material Cash Requirements and Other Obligations

For descriptions of our long-term debt and commitments and obligations used to secure supply to produce our products, procure data center infrastructure to support our research and development efforts, and provide certain guarantees to support our customers’ and partners’ buildouts of data center infrastructure, refer to Notes 8, 9, 10, and 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We expect to continue investing in our ecosystem. Refer to Note 6 for additional information regarding our non-marketable investments.

Unrecognized tax benefits were $5.0 billion, which included related interest and penalties of $503 million, and were recognized in non-current income tax payable as of July 26, 2026. We are unable to estimate the timing of any potential tax liability, interest payments, or penalties in individual years due to uncertainties in the underlying income tax positions and the timing of the effective settlement of such tax positions. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for our fiscal years 2023 and 2024. Refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other than the contractual obligations described in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026. Refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026, for a description of our contractual obligations.

We have entered and may in the future enter into commitments, guarantees, and other commercial agreements, including long-term capacity purchase obligations, financial guarantees, and other forms of credit support and financing arrangements to support our customers’ and partners’ buildout of data center infrastructure. Financing arrangements with certain investment-grade customers, including extended payment terms under large, multi-quarter agreements, will continue to affect the timing of our operating cash flows.

Adoption of New and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There has been no adoption of any new and recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Investment and Interest Rate Risk

Financial market risks related to investment and interest rate risk are described in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026.

Our marketable equity securities consist of publicly-held equity securities, while our non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately-held companies. Publicly-held equity securities are subject to market price volatility.

Non-marketable equity securities are measured based on cost minus impairment, if any, and are adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer. Valuations of our non-marketable equity securities are inherently complex due to the lack of readily available market data and observable transactions, and impact of macroeconomic factors.

In the first half of fiscal year 2027, we made additional investments in publicly-held equity securities and non-marketable equity securities that are subject to these risks, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of our holdings.

For a description of our investments, refer to Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

The impact of foreign currency transactions related to foreign exchange rate risk is described in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026. As of July 26, 2026, there have been no material changes to the foreign exchange rate risks described as of January 25, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of July 26, 2026, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We

are continuing a phased upgrade of our enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system to update our existing core financial systems. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain our financial records used to report operating results. We will continue to evaluate each quarter whether there are changes that materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls, will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within NVIDIA have been detected.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of significant developments in our legal proceedings since January 25, 2026.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factors listed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026 and Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 26, 2026.

Purchasing or owning NVIDIA securities involves investment risks including, but not limited to, the risks described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 26, 2026, and below. Any one of those risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations or reputation, which could cause our stock price to decline. Additional risks, trends and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.

Commitments, guarantees, and other commercial arrangements expose us to financial, counterparty and execution risks and may not provide anticipated benefits.

To support our operations and growth, we commit capital to secure supply and capacity, obtain cloud services, and lease data center capacity. These arrangements require substantial payments over many years. If future demand, our needs or plans differ from our expectations, we may be unable to reduce these commitments. Future demand may be affected by the ability of customers and partners, including those developing open models, to generate revenue and sustain investment in computing infrastructure.

To support our customers’ and partners’ buildout of AI infrastructure, we enter into commercial arrangements, including financial guarantees and other forms of credit support, financing arrangements, and data center leases.

Customers or partners may fail to fulfill their financial commitments, secure necessary capital or infrastructure, complete projects on schedule or within budget, or experience financial distress or insolvency. Power constraints, government actions or regulations, permitting delays, or community opposition may delay, restrict or prevent the development or operation of data centers. We may have limited control over these matters.

Financing arrangements with certain investment-grade customers, including extended payment terms under large, multi-quarter agreements, will continue to affect the timing of our operating cash flows. We intend to assign certain data center leases to third parties. Delays in completing these assignments could cause us to bear the related lease costs longer than anticipated.

We have entered into agreements with AI clouds to enable broader access to our data center infrastructure products. Under the agreements, if AI clouds do not successfully sell committed capacity to third-party customers, we have agreed to purchase that capacity. We may not have sufficient demand for, or the operational ability to use or resell, all the capacity we are committed to purchase. We may earn a share of revenue generated by sales of the supported capacity, but lower-than-expected AI compute demand or pricing may reduce the revenue we receive.

We have entered into guarantees with SB Energy relating to leases at the PORTS Technology Campus that may expose us to substantial obligations over extended periods. SB Energy may not complete or deliver the infrastructure as expected or on schedule, which may delay or reduce anticipated benefits. If OpenAI does not perform its obligations or becomes subject to an insolvency event, and a guarantee is triggered, we may assume the applicable lease, require the landlord to

seek a replacement tenant, initiate a sale process or choose to pursue other remedies. A replacement tenant or buyer may not be found on acceptable terms or timing, any replacement lease or sale may generate less value than anticipated, and our obligations may continue longer than expected. We may assume long-term lease obligations, incur ongoing lease-related costs or make substantial payments. Although OpenAI has agreed to reimburse and indemnify us for certain losses, we may not recover amounts promptly or in full.

In August 2026, we entered into memoranda of understanding with large capital providers regarding independent financing platforms through which the providers would raise and deploy third-party capital for the buildout of AI infrastructure. These and other preliminary arrangements may not lead to definitive agreements.

Any of these risks may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are subject to complex laws, rules, regulations, and political and other actions, including restrictions on the export of our products, which may adversely impact our business.

We are subject to laws and regulations domestically and worldwide, affecting our operations in areas including, but not limited to, IP ownership and infringement; taxes; import and export requirements and tariffs; anti-corruption, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; business acquisitions; foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions; foreign ownership and investment; data privacy requirements; competition and antitrust; investing; advertising; employment; product regulations; cybersecurity; environmental, health, and safety requirements; the responsible use of AI; sustainability; cryptocurrency; and consumer laws. Compliance with such requirements can be onerous and expensive, could impact our competitive position, and may negatively impact our business operations and ability to manufacture and ship our products. There can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers or agents will not violate applicable laws or the policies, controls, and procedures that we have designed to help ensure compliance with such laws, and violations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, prohibitions on the conduct of our business, and damage to our reputation. Changes to the laws, rules and regulations to which we are subject, or changes to their interpretation and enforcement, could lead to materially greater compliance and other costs, and/or further restrictions on our ability to manufacture and supply our products and operate our business. For example, we may face increased compliance costs as a result of changes or increases in antitrust legislation, regulation, administrative rule making, increased focus from regulators on cybersecurity vulnerabilities and risks. Our business is facing increased interest from regulators worldwide, including the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, and China. For example, the French Competition Authority is questioning whether gaming GPUs and data center GPUs are separate product categories, an inquiry that may impact the export controls applicable to gaming products sold in France and Europe. We have also received, and continue to receive, broad requests for information from competition regulators in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and South Korea regarding our sales of GPUs and other NVIDIA products, our efforts to allocate supply, foundation models and our investments, partnerships and other agreements with companies developing foundation models, the markets in which we compete and our competition, our strategies, roadmaps, and efforts to develop, market, and sell hardware, software, and system solutions, and our agreements with customers, suppliers, and partners. We expect to receive additional requests for information in the future. Such requests have been and are likely to be expensive and burdensome and could negatively impact our business and our relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners.

Governments and regulators are also considering, and in certain cases, have imposed restrictions on the hardware, software, and systems used to develop frontier foundation models and generative AI. For example, the EU AI Act became effective on August 1, 2024 and will be fully applicable after a multi-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, with new state laws that took effect on January 1, 2026, which may impact our ability to train, deploy, or release AI models and systems, including those capable of autonomous action, and increase our compliance costs. Restrictions under these and any other regulations, if implemented, could increase the costs and burdens to us and our customers, delay or halt deployment of new systems using our products, and reduce the number of new entrants and customers, negatively impacting our business and financial results. Revisions to laws or regulations or their interpretation and enforcement could also result in increased taxation, trade sanctions, the imposition of or increase to import duties or tariffs, restrictions and controls on imports or exports, or other retaliatory actions, which could have an adverse effect on our business plans or impact the timing of our shipments. Additionally, changes in the public perception of governments in the regions where we operate or plan to operate could negatively impact our business and results of operations.

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 the activities of U.S. persons, trade and economic sanctions, decrees, quotas or other trade barriers and restrictions could affect our ability to ship products, provide services to our customers and employees, do business without an export license with entities on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s U.S. Entity List or other USG restricted parties lists (which is expected to change from time to time), and generally fulfill our contractual obligations and have a material adverse effect on our business. If we were ever found to have violated export control laws or sanctions of the U.S. or similar applicable non-U.S. laws, even if the violation occurred without our knowledge, we may be subject to various penalties available

under the laws, any of which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

For example, in response to the war in Ukraine, the United States and other jurisdictions imposed economic sanctions and export control measures which blocked the passage of our products, services and support into Russia, Belarus, and certain regions of Ukraine. In fiscal year 2023, we stopped direct sales to Russia and closed business operations in Russia. Concurrently, the war in Ukraine has impacted sales in EMEA and may continue to do so in the future.

The increasing focus on the risks and strategic importance of AI technologies has resulted in regulatory restrictions that target products and services capable of enabling or facilitating AI and may in the future result in additional restrictions impacting some or all of our product and service offerings.

Concerns regarding third-party use of AI for purposes contrary to local governmental interests, including concerns relating to the misuse of AI applications, models, and solutions, has resulted in and could in the future result in unilateral or multilateral restrictions on products that can be used for training, modifying, tuning, and deploying LLMs and other AI applications. Such restrictions have limited and could in the future limit the ability of downstream customers and users worldwide to acquire, deploy and use systems that include our products, software, and services, and negatively impact our business and financial results.

Such restrictions could include additional unilateral or multilateral export controls on certain products or technology, including but not limited to AI technologies. As geopolitical tensions have increased, semiconductors associated with AI, including GPUs and related products, are increasingly the focus of export control restrictions proposed by stakeholders in the U.S. and its allies. The United States has imposed unilateral worldwide controls restricting GPUs and associated products, and it is likely that additional unilateral or multilateral controls will be adopted. Such controls have been and may again be very broad in scope and application, prohibit us from exporting our products to any or all customers in one or more markets, and could negatively impact our manufacturing, testing and warehousing locations and options, or could impose other conditions that limit our ability to serve demand abroad and could negatively and materially impact our business, revenue and financial results. Export controls and other restrictions targeting GPUs and semiconductors associated with AI, which have been imposed and are likely to be more restrictive, would further limit our ability to export our technology, products, or services, creating a competitive disadvantage for us and negatively impacting our business and financial results. Export controls targeting GPUs and semiconductors associated with AI have subjected and may in the future subject downstream users of our products to restrictions on the use, resale, repair, or transfer of our products, negatively impacting our business and financial results. Controls could negatively impact our cost and/or ability to provide services such as NVIDIA AI cloud services and could impact the cost and/or ability for our CSPs and customers to provide services to their end customers, even outside China.

Export controls have and could in the future disrupt our supply chain and distribution channels, negatively impacting our ability to serve demand, including in markets outside China and for our non-data center products. The possibility of additional export controls has negatively impacted and may in the future negatively impact demand for our products, benefiting competitors that offer alternatives less likely to be restricted by further controls. Repeated changes in the export control rules are likely to impose compliance burdens on our business and our customers, negatively and materially impacting our business. Complex U.S. export rules have already and are likely in the future to result in inquiries and investigations from foreign governments regarding sales of our products, subjecting our business, employees, and customers to increased burdens, disruption and risk.

Increasing use of economic sanctions and export controls has impacted and may in the future impact demand for our products or services, negatively impacting our business and financial results. Reduced demand due to export controls has and could in the future lead to excess inventory or cause us to incur related supply charges. Additional unilateral or multilateral controls are also likely to include deemed export control limitations that negatively impact the ability of our research and development teams to execute our roadmap or other objectives in a timely manner. Additional export restrictions may not only impact our ability to serve overseas markets, but also provoke responses from foreign governments, including China, that negatively impact our supply chain or our ability to provide our products and services to customers in all markets worldwide, which could also substantially reduce our revenue. Regulators in China have inquired about our sales and efforts to supply the China market and our fulfillment of the commitments we entered into at the close of our Mellanox acquisition. On September 15, 2025, China’s antitrust regulators published their preliminary finding that our compliance with applicable U.S. export controls, which required us to offer degraded products to the Chinese market, discriminated unfairly against customers in the China market and therefore violated the terms of China’s approval of our Mellanox acquisition. If regulators conclude that we have failed to fulfill the terms of our Mellanox acquisition or we have violated any applicable law in China, we could be subject to financial penalties, restrictions on our ability to conduct our business, restrictions or other orders regarding our networking business, products, and services, or otherwise impact our operations in China, any of which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We continue to be subject to a series of shifting and expanding export control restrictions, impacting our ability to serve customers outside the United States.

In August 2022, the USG announced export restrictions and export licensing requirements targeting China’s semiconductor and supercomputing industries. These restrictions impacted exports of certain chips, as well as software, hardware, equipment and technology used to develop, produce and manufacture certain chips to China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and Russia, and specifically impact our A100 and H100 integrated circuits, DGX or any other systems or boards which incorporate A100 or H100 integrated circuits.

In July 2023, the USG also informed us of an additional licensing requirement for a subset of A100 and H100 products destined to certain customers and other regions, including some countries in the Middle East.

In October 2023, the USG announced new and updated licensing requirements for exports to China and Country Groups D:1, D:4, and D:5 (including but not limited to, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam, but excluding Israel) of our products exceeding certain performance thresholds, including, but not limited to, the A100, A800, H100, H800, L4, L40, L40S, RTX 4090, GB200 NVL72, and B200. The licensing requirements also apply to the export of products exceeding certain performance thresholds to a party headquartered in, or with an ultimate parent headquartered in, Country Group D5, including China.

In April 2025, the USG informed us that it requires a license for export to China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and D:5 countries, or to companies headquartered or with an ultimate parent therein, of our H20 integrated circuits and any other circuits achieving the H20’s memory bandwidth, interconnect bandwidth, or combination thereof. As a result of these requirements, we incurred a $4.5 billion charge in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 associated with H20 for excess inventory and purchase obligations, as the demand for H20 products diminished.

Beginning in August 2025, the USG granted licenses that would have allowed us to ship certain H20 products to certain China-based customers, but such sales were restricted by the PRC government, and we were unable to sell our H20 inventory.

Beginning in February 2026, the USG granted licenses that would allow us to ship small amounts of H200 products to specific China-based customers, but such sales were restricted by the PRC government, and we have been unable to sell all the products for which we have licenses. During the first half of fiscal year 2027, we incurred a $0.4 billion charge associated with H200 for excess inventory and purchase obligations, as the demand for H200 products diminished. After incurring that charge, we have made a fraction of the allowed shipments under the USG’s H200 licensing program. Those shipments account for less than 1% of Data Center revenue in our most recent quarter. The licenses require that the H200s go through an inspection process in the United States prior to any shipment to the customer. As a result, any H200s shipped under the new licensing program are subject to a 25% tariff upon importation into the United States. We have been unable to pass along any of the tariff to our customers, and do not anticipate doing so in the event we are able to sell licensed products into the China market.

The export controls applicable to China are complex and address a variety of parameters, including the total processing performance of a chip, the “performance density” of a chip, the interconnect bandwidth of a chip, and the memory bandwidth of a chip. Under the current rules and geopolitical landscape, we are unable to create and deliver a competitive product for wide distribution in China’s data center market with the approval from both the USG and the Chinese government. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, while we were able to ship uncontrolled products to China, such as gaming and workstation GPUs, we were effectively foreclosed from competing in China’s data center computing/compute market, and our effective foreclosure from the China market helped our competitors build larger developer and customer ecosystems to challenge us worldwide. Unless we are able to return with a data center system that meets the approval of both the USG and the Chinese government, our lost opportunity and the benefit to our competitors will have a material and adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

In addition to controls targeting D:1, D:4 and D:5 countries, the USG has also imposed worldwide export controls impacting our products, and may impose additional controls in the future.

In January 2025, the USG published the AI Diffusion IFR in the Federal Register. The IFR would have imposed a worldwide licensing requirement on our data center products, such as our H200, GB200 and GB300. The AI Diffusion IFR would have divided the world into three tiers, relegating most countries to “Tier 2” status, and would have created a complex and burdensome scheme for licensing approvals.

In May 2025, the USG announced that it would rescind the AI Diffusion IFR and implement a replacement rule. The scope, timing, and requirements of the forthcoming rule remain uncertain. The replacement rule may impose new restrictions on our products or operations and/or add license requirements that could have a material impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. For example, in October 2025, the Senate passed the GAIN AI Act in the National Defense Authorization Act. The GAIN AI Act would restrict the Trump Administration’s ability to adapt the Biden Administration’s export control rules and could also allow private U.S. persons to review and overturn licensing and foreign policy decisions made by the Trump Administration. Congress is also considering legislation such as the Remote Access Security Act, or RASA, which could prohibit the provision of cloud services to any company with an ultimate parent headquartered in China. If enacted, RASA could impose new restrictions on cloud service providers and OEMs, and could have a material impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our competitive position has been harmed by export controls, and our competitive position and future results will be further harmed, over the long term, if the restrictions remain in place or are expanded in geographic, customer, or product scope, if customers purchase product from competitors, if customers develop their own internal solution, if we are unable to provide contractual warranty or other extended service obligations, if the USG does not grant licenses in a timely manner or denies licenses to significant customers or if we incur significant transition costs. The licensing process may not be resolved before significant business opportunities evaporate. Even if the USG grants any requested licenses, the licenses have already and may in the future be temporary, impose burdensome conditions regarding the installation, maintenance, and use of such products, or include financial or economic requirements that we or our customers or end users cannot or choose not to fulfill. The licensing requirements have already and may in the future benefit certain of our competitors, as the licensing process will make our pre-sale and post-sale technical support efforts more cumbersome and less certain and encourage customers in China, the Middle East, and other regions to pursue alternatives to our products, including semiconductor suppliers based in China, Europe, and Israel.

Given the increasing strategic importance of AI and rising geopolitical tensions, the USG has changed and may again change the export control rules at any time and further subject a wider range of our products to export restrictions and licensing requirements, negatively impacting our business and financial results. In the event of such change, we may be unable to sell our inventory of such products and may be unable to develop replacement products not subject to the licensing requirements.

For example, the USG already imposed license conditions that limit the ability of foreign firms to create and offer as a service large-scale GPU clusters, such as imposing license conditions on the use of products to be exported to certain countries, and may impose additional conditions such as requiring chip tracking and throttling mechanisms that could disable or impair GPUs if certain events, including unauthorized system configuration, use, or location, are detected. Such government mandates in chip designs could introduce system vulnerabilities and expose us to significant risk and potential liability, negatively impact demand for our products, and could have a material impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Even if not enacted into binding legislation, draft bills have impacted and may in the future negatively impact our business. For example, following U.S. legislative proposals calling for mandatory features in our chips, China’s government publicly questioned whether our H20 products have built-in vulnerabilities, discouraging customers from purchasing our products. We provided a public response explaining that our GPUs, including H20, do not include such built-in vulnerabilities, and will respond to any follow-up questions we receive.

Open-source foundation models are rapidly growing in popularity with developers worldwide. The demand for open-source foundation models and applications promotes use of our products worldwide. Any regulatory control or other restriction that limits our ability to provide products and services that support third-party applications and models, including applications built on foundation models originating in China such as DeepSeek, Qwen, or Kimi, could have a material impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The USG already imposed export controls restricting certain gaming GPUs, and if the USG expands such controls to restrict additional gaming products, it may disrupt a significant portion of our supply and distribution chain and negatively impact sales of such products to markets outside China, including the U.S. and Europe. For example, the French Competition Authority (FCA) is questioning whether gaming GPUs and data center GPUs are separate product categories, an inquiry that may impact the export controls applicable to gaming products sold in France and Europe. In addition, as the performance of the gaming GPUs increases over time, export controls may have a greater impact on our ability to compete in markets subject to those controls. Export controls may disrupt our supply and distribution chain for a substantial portion of our products, which are warehoused in and distributed from Hong Kong.

Export controls restricting our ability to sell data center GPUs may also negatively impact demand for our networking products used in servers containing our GPUs. The USG may also impose export controls on our networking products, such as high-speed network interconnects, to limit the ability of downstream parties to create large clusters for frontier model training.

Export controls have and are likely in the future to have a disproportionate impact on NVIDIA and may disadvantage us against certain of our competitors that sell chips that are outside the scope of such control. Export controls have already and may in the future encourage customers outside China and other impacted regions to “design-out” certain U.S. semiconductors from their products to reduce the compliance burden and risk, and to ensure that they are able to serve markets worldwide. Export controls have already encouraged and may in the future encourage overseas governments to request that our customers purchase from our competitors rather than NVIDIA or other U.S. firms, harming our business, market position, and financial results.

As a result, export controls have in the past and may in the future negatively impact demand for our products and services not only in China, but also in other markets, such as Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Export controls increase the risk of investing in U.S. advanced semiconductor products, because by the time a new product is ready for market, it may be subject to new unilateral export controls restricting its sale, resulting in excess inventory and purchase obligations as we recently experienced with the H20. At the same time, such controls may increase investment in foreign competitors, which would be less likely to be restricted by U.S. controls.

The increasingly complex export controls impose complex and burdensome compliance obligations on our partners, suppliers, and customers. We have provided and will continue to provide assistance to authorities regarding attempted diversion, but as we do not have physical control of our products after sale, we must also rely on the compliance programs of our customers and partners. While we seek to strictly comply with all applicable export control regulators, reports of diversion of controlled products, even when unsubstantiated and untrue, or any compliance failure at a customer or partner, may negatively impact our business, relationships with partners and customers, and our reputation. Incorrect allegations that our compliance efforts satisfy the letter but not the “spirit” of the applicable regulations, as well as incorrect allegations that legitimate and appropriate business is using supposed “loopholes” in the export controls may negatively impact our business, relationships with partners and customers, and our reputation.

In addition to export controls, the USG may impose restrictions on the import and sale of products that incorporate technologies developed or manufactured in whole or in part in China. For example, the USG adopted “Connected Vehicle” restrictions on the import and sale of certain automotive products in the United States, which if adopted and interpreted broadly, could impact our ability to develop and supply solutions for our automotive customers. The USG is also considering restrictions that would limit our ability to support third-party applications and models built on open-source foundation models originating in China. Such restrictions, if implemented, would favor our foreign competitors and negatively impact our business.

Additionally, restrictions imposed by the Chinese government on the duration of gaming activities and access to games may adversely affect our Edge Computing revenue, and even if we are able to participate in the China data center compute market, increased oversight of digital platform companies may adversely affect our Data Center revenue. The Chinese government has encouraged customers to purchase from our China-based competitors and discouraged customers from purchasing, importing, or using our data center products, including any China-specific product designed to comply with U.S. export controls. As another example, an agency of the Chinese government announced an Action Plan that endorses new standards regarding the compute performance per watt and per memory bandwidth of accelerators used in new and renovated data centers in China. Although we are already effectively foreclosed from the China market by U.S. export controls, if those controls changed to allow us to return to the market, the Chinese government could modify or implement the Action Plan in a way that effectively prevents us from being able to design products to meet the new standard, which may restrict the ability of customers to use some of our data center products and may have a material and adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. Further restrictions on our products or the products of our suppliers could negatively impact our business and financial results.

Finally, our business depends on our ability to receive consistent and reliable supply from our overseas partners, especially in Taiwan and South Korea. Any new restrictions that negatively impact our ability to receive supply of components, parts, or services from Taiwan and South Korea, would negatively impact our business and financial results.

Our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows from operations.

As of July 26, 2026, we had $33.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes outstanding. As each series of senior notes matures, unless redeemed or repurchased, we must either repay or refinance the notes. If we decide to refinance, we may receive less favorable terms or be unable to refinance at all, which may adversely affect our financial condition. We also have a $25.0 billion commercial paper program with no amounts outstanding as of July 26, 2026.

Maintenance of our indebtedness, contractual restrictions, and additional issuances of indebtedness could cause us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations towards debt service obligations and principal repayments; increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions; limit our flexibility in responding to changes in our business and industry; impair our ability to obtain future financing; and restrict our ability to grant liens on property, enter into certain mergers and dispose of assets.

Our ability to comply with the covenants in our indenture may be affected by events beyond our control. If we breach any of the covenants without a waiver from the note holders, then, subject to applicable cure periods, any such indebtedness may be declared immediately due and payable. In addition, changes to our credit rating may negatively impact the value and liquidity of our securities, restrict our ability to obtain future financing and affect the terms of any such financing.
