Nvidia revealed that it earned $1.3 billion in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
Compared to the $1.15 billion earned revenue during the same quarter last year, the latest recorded data suggests that the company achieved a higher revenue by up to 13 percent. At the same time, it's lower by 7 percent when compared to the previous quarter's revenue of $1.4 billion.
The company also announced its GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and non-GAAP earnings for every diluted share during the latest recorded quarter earnings results. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings saw an increase compared to the recorded data a year ago. For the first quarter of fiscal 2017, GAAP earnings were recorded at $0.33 while non-GAAP earnings were $0.46, showing an increase of 38 percent from last year's $0.24 for the GAAP earnings and 39 percent from the previous year's $0.33 for the non-GAAP earnings per share.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings saw a drop from the data recorded in the past quarter. GAAP earnings dropped by 6 percent from last quarter's $0.35 while non-GAAP earnings dropped by 12 percent from last quarter's $0.52.
"We are enjoying growth in all of our platforms - gaming, professional visualization, datacenter and auto," says Jen-Hsun Huang, Nvidia's chief executive officer and co-founder.
Nvidia also gave some prospects for the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. It expected revenue to reach $1.35 billion. Other expected results include GAAP gross margins at 57.7 percent; non-GAAP gross margins at 58.0 percent; GAAP operating expenses at around $500 million; non-GAAP operating expenses at approximately $445 million and both GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates to be at 20 percent.
