1. Note 12 of the company’s 10-K report provides extended information on NVIDIA’s long- term debt. According to this note, in June of 2021, NVIDIA issued $5.00 billion aggregate principal of senior notes. As a result of these issuances, the company’s net proceeds consisted of $4.98 billion following the deduction of debt discount and issuance costs. In fiscal year 2022, NVIDIA repaid $1 billion of 2.20% Notes Due 2021. All of the company’s notes are unsecure senior obligations, meaning the current and future liabilities of its subsidiaries will be senior to the notes. NVIDIA’s notes pay interest semi-annually and the company may redeem its notes prior to maturity, subject to a make-whole premium. 2. Based on the information on Note 12, NVIDIA may redeem its issued bonds early. If the company were to take such action, the company is more likely to have a loss. This is because make-whole premiums are intended for compensation to the bondholders for any loss of expected interest income they would have earned if the bond had been held until maturity date (ChatGPT, 2023). Furthermore, a make-whole premium would indicate a loss for NVIDIA because the company would have to pay the bondholder a higher price than if the debt had been held until maturity. The significance of the cost would vary based on the status of the interest rates since the date the bond was issued (ChatGPT, 2023). 3. NVIDIA’s income statement reports financials on the past three periods from 2021-2022. Based on the data from the report, in 2021, NVIDIA paid $77 million in taxes, in 2022, the company’s income tax expense more than doubled resulting in $189 million. It is important to note that the company’s income tax expense increased due to its income before income tax having doubled since the previous year. However, what I found interesting was that in 2023, NVIDIA recorded an income tax benefit of $187 million. As a result of this benefit, the company’s net income increased unlike in the previous years. Based on NVIDIA’s balance sheet, I believe the company has $3,820 million worth in deferred income tax assets. Meaning it has not yet been determined if they will bring significant cash flows or reductions to the company. On the other hand, NVIDIA has $6,563 million in current liabilities. 4. NVIDIA’s future tax rate is constantly dependent on numerous factors. All of which have the power to determine the company’s performance and profitability. Some of these factors include changes in the company, changes in statutory rates, incomes taxes, expenses, etc. NVIDIA’s valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is reported as Other Income (expense) on the Income Statement. The company’s negative valuation allowance of (0.1) tells us the company does not believe its deferred tax assets will reduce its income tax payable.
