"NVIDIA's business is recovering. Product demand is improving, and our strategic investments are leading to new growth," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer, NVIDIA. "Our two newest businesses began to ship meaningful amounts of product this past quarter and show significant promise. Tesla, the industry's first GPU for general-purpose high performance computing, achieved its highest-ever quarterly revenue. And Tegra, our ultra low-power computer-on-a-chip, is making exciting progress in the market for mobile and embedded devices. Our new businesses are positioned to benefit from the rise of mobile and cloud computing." NVIDIA's second quarter results were impacted by an additional net charge of approximately $119.1 million to cover costs related to a weak die/packaging material set that was used in certain versions of its previous-generation chips. Although the number of units impacted by this issue remains consistent with the company's initial estimates a year ago, the cost of remediation and repair of impacted systems has been higher than originally anticipated. In July 2008, a $196.0 million reserve was accrued for the purpose of supporting our affected customers around the world. The weak die/package material combination is not used in any products currently in production. GAAP net loss for the six months ended July 26, 2009 was $306.6 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to a net income of $55.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share for the six months ended July 27, 2008. Non-GAAP net loss for the six months ended July 26, 2009, which excludes the net charge related to the weak die/packaging material set that was used in certain versions of our previous generation chips, a non-recurring charge of $140.2 million in connection with a previously announced cash tender offer to purchase employee stock options, stock-based compensation charges, and their associated tax impact, was $8.9 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net income of $286.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for the six months ended July 27, 2008. Outlook NVIDIA expects revenue in the third quarter ending October 25, 2009, to be up 5 to 7 percent over the second quarter. Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 and Recent Highlights:
-- Free cash flow was a positive $117.5 million during the quarter, with
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities ending at $1.47
billion.
-- NVIDIA delivered its first 40nm GPUs to customers in the second quarter.
-- The NVIDIA((R)) ION((TM)) platform was awarded "Best Choice" -
and 21 design wins disclosed - at Computex 2009. Nine are already
shipping, with a further 12 to ship in the third quarter. Five more
wins have been disclosed since Computex.
-- NVIDIA started ramping up volume shipments of the Tegra((TM))
computer-on-a-chip. Microsoft's Zune HD was revealed to be based on

volumes of data.
-- For Quadro, NVIDIA launched the NVIDIA(R) Optix(TM) ray tracing engine,
part of a suite of application acceleration engines for software
developers. The suite also includes engines for managing 3D data and
scenes, scaling performance across multiple GPUs and real-time modeling
of hyper-realistic physical and environmental affects.
-- Tesla((TM)) computing solution products are now carried by HP and
Supermicro, joining a global list of OEMs including Cray, Dell, HP
Lenovo, SGI and Sun.
