## Business Model

PC components: power supplies (SuperNOVA series), computer cases, cooling solutions (AIO liquid coolers), and peripherals. The graphics card business (formerly 70%+ of revenue) ended in 2022 when NVIDIA did not renew the partnership. EVGA remaining business focuses on PSU (where it is a top brand), cases, and cooling.

## Moat Analysis

EVGA reputation for customer service was legendary in the PC community. The Step-Up program let customers upgrade to a better card for a small fee. The brand community loyalty survived the GPU exit. In PSU and cooling, EVGA competes on quality and warranty (10-year PSU warranty).

## Key Data

## Interesting Facts

EVGA decision to leave the GPU market in 2022 was a bombshell. They were NVIDIA number 1 partner. CEO Andrew Han wrote a public letter explaining that the partnership terms had become unsustainable. Despite losing their biggest revenue source, the community respected the decision as principled.
