“Visual computing is increasingly important to more and more markets,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of NVIDIA. “It-s creating demand for GPUs and opening up large opportunities. The proof can be seen in the proliferation of Tegra into new verticals like automotive and set-top boxes, in our all-time high Quadro and Tesla revenues, and in the record number of customer trials for our GRID datacenter initiative. At a time when many are struggling with the decline in the mainstream PC market, our visual computing leadership has positioned us well to grow with the accelerating adoption of GPUs in the cloud and the world of connected devices.”
*Non-GAAP earnings excluded stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, other acquisition-related costs or credits, a restructuring charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, a legal settlement charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, and the tax impact associated with such items.
The company-s previously announced $750 million accelerated stock repurchase was completed on Oct. 22 with the delivery of an additional 14.6 million shares. In aggregate, we received 51.5 million shares at an average price of $14.56 per share. The common stock delivered to NVIDIA was placed into treasury stock.

To supplement NVIDIA-s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income tax expense, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per share, and free cash flow. In order for NVIDIA-s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, other acquisition-related costs or credits, a restructuring charge, a legal settlement, a contribution expense, and the associated tax impact of these items, where applicable. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user-s overall understanding of the company-s historical financial performance. The presentation of the company-s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company-s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
