On June 28, 2021, NVIDIA Corporation, or the Company, completed a simplification of its corporate structure by repatriating the economic rights of certain non-U.S. intellectual property to the United States via domestication of a foreign subsidiary, or the Domestication. In connection with the Domestication, the Company is updating its tax rate outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 as follows: • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are both expected to be 13 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, excluding any discrete items, up from 10 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, provided in our prior outlook. GAAP discrete items include one-time tax impacts from the Domestication and excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation, which are expected to generate variability on a quarter-by-quarter basis. The discrete tax impact from the Domestication in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 is expected to be a benefit of approximately $250 million to $300 million.
