A big thank you to the team for continuing to make life easier for customers.”
Highlights
• | Prime Day was once again the largest shopping event in Amazon history with more than one million deals exclusively for Prime members. Over the two days of Prime Day, on July 15 and 16, sales surpassed the previous Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. Prime Day was also the biggest event ever for Amazon devices, when comparing two-day periods. Amazon welcomed more new Prime members on July 15 than any previous day, and almost as many on July 16 — making these the two biggest days ever for member signups. In addition, Prime members received tens of millions of dollars in savings when shopping from Whole Foods Market and bought more than $2 billion of products from independent small and medium-sized businesses. Millions of people worldwide streamed Prime Day events, including the Prime Day Concert presented by Amazon Music and headlined by 10-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist Taylor Swift. |

Globally, Amazon has 61 operating solar and wind projects that are expected to generate over 1,044 megawatts and deliver over 3.1 million megawatt hours of energy annually. |
• | Amazon India introduced the Packaging-Free Shipment program in nine cities, which reduces waste by shipping orders in their original packaging and combining multiple shipments in a reusable crate or a corrugate box. This is one of several initiatives that support Shipment Zero, Amazon’s vision to make all Amazon shipments net zero carbon. |
• | Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced several new customer commitments and major migrations during the quarter: National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has chosen AWS and Amazon SageMaker as its standard for cloud-based machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads; Emirates NBD, a leading bank in the Middle East, is using AWS machine learning services to build a personalized retail customer banking experience; Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems (Hyundai Electric), Korea’s leading electric power equipment manufacturer, launched a new high performance computing (HPC) system leveraging AWS to accelerate its digital transformation; and Sony Music Entertainment Japan selected Amazon Managed Blockchain in the development of a digital music rights management system. |
• | AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Personalize, a fully-managed machine learning service that trains, tunes, and deploys custom, private machine learning models. The service brings the same machine learning technology used by Amazon.com to engage with millions of shoppers to AWS customers, so they can easily develop applications with a wide array of personalization use cases, including specific product recommendations, individualized search results, and customized direct marketing — with no machine learning experience required. |
• | AWS announced the general availability of AWS Ground Station, a service that makes it easy and cost-effective for customers to control their satellites using AWS and download data into AWS Global Infrastructure Regions using a fully-managed network of ground station antennas located around the world. With AWS Ground Station, customers can more easily and cost-effectively control satellite operations, ingest satellite data, and integrate the data with applications and other cloud services running in AWS, saving up to 80% of their ground station costs by paying for antenna access time on demand. Capella Space, D-Orbit, Maxar Technologies, Myriota, NSLComm, Open Cosmos, Spire, and Thales Alenia Space are among the customers and partners using AWS Ground Station. |
• | AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Managed Blockchain, a fully-managed service that makes it easy to create and manage scalable blockchain networks that allow multiple parties to execute transactions and maintain a cryptographically verifiable record without the need for a trusted, central authority. Amazon Managed Blockchain also scales to support thousands of applications and millions of transactions using popular open source frameworks like Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. |
• | AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Textract, a fully-managed machine learning service that automatically extracts text and data, including from tables and forms, in virtually any document without the need for manual review, custom code, or machine learning experience. With Amazon Textract, customers can more easily and accurately process millions of document pages in just a few hours, significantly lowering document processing costs, and allowing customers to focus on deriving business value from their text and data instead of wasting time and effort on post-processing. |
• | AWS announced the general availability of AWS Control Tower, a service that makes it as easy for customers to set up and continuously govern secure, compliant, multi-account AWS environments as it is to select items from a menu. AWS Control Tower gives customers a pre-configured environment built according to AWS best-practices, with clearly defined rules for security, operations, and compliance. AWS Control Tower provides ongoing governance on how to “get it right” based on AWS’s experience helping thousands of enterprise customers create secure and compliant cloud environments. |
• | AWS announced the general availability of AWS Security Hub, a service that gives customers a central place to manage security and compliance across an AWS environment. AWS Security Hub aggregates, organizes, and prioritizes security findings from AWS services such as Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, and Amazon Macie, and from a large and growing list of AWS Partner Network solutions, to provide a comprehensive view of a customer's overall security and compliance status. |
• | AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK), a fully-managed service that makes it easy for developers to build and run highly available, secure, and scalable applications based on Apache Kafka without having to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure. Fully compatible with Apache Kafka, it enables customers to easily migrate their on-premises or Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) clusters to Amazon MSK with no code changes. |
• | At the AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, D.C., George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College, in collaboration with AWS Educate, introduced a Bachelor of Applied Science pathway in cloud computing. This degree offers students a seamless transfer pathway from a two-year associate’s degree to a four-year bachelor’s degree in the cloud, providing a clear path to high-demand careers in cloud computing with AWS partners and customers. |
• | Since launching in 2016, the number of databases migrated to AWS using the AWS Database Migration Service has grown to more than 150,000 databases. |
• | For the ninth consecutive year, AWS is positioned in the Leader’s quadrant in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), earning the highest placement for “Ability to Execute” and “Completeness of Vision,” and we have widened the gap between AWS and all others in the report. |
Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect Amazon.com’s expectations as of July 25, 2019, and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our results are inherently unpredictable and may be materially affected by many factors, such as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, changes in global economic conditions and customer spending, world events, the rate of growth of the Internet, online commerce, and cloud services, and the various factors detailed below.
Third Quarter 2019 Guidance
• | Net sales are expected to be between $66.0 billion and $70.0 billion, or to grow between 17% and 24% compared with third quarter 2018. This guidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 30 basis points from foreign exchange rates. |
• | Operating income is expected to be between $2.1 billion and $3.1 billion, compared with $3.7 billion in third quarter 2018. |
• | This guidance assumes, among other things, that no additional business acquisitions, investments, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded. |
A conference call will be webcast live today at 2:30 p.m. PT/5:30 p.m. ET, and will be available for at least three months at amazon.com/ir. This call will contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the Company’s financial and operating results.
These forward-looking statements are inherently difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, in addition to the factors discussed above, the amount that Amazon.com invests in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, the mix of products and services sold to customers, the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with services, the extent to which we owe income or other taxes, competition, management of growth, potential fluctuations in operating results, international growth and expansion, the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims, fulfillment, sortation, delivery, and data center optimization, risks of inventory management, seasonality, the degree to which the Company enters into, maintains, and develops commercial agreements, proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions, payments risks, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products, services, and technologies, system interruptions, government regulation and taxation, and fraud. In addition, the current global economic climate amplifies many of these risks. More information about factors that potentially could affect Amazon.com’s financial results is included in Amazon.com’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings.
Our investor relations website is amazon.com/ir and we encourage investors to use it as a way of easily finding information about us. We promptly make available on this website, free of charge, the reports that we file or furnish with the SEC, corporate governance information (including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics), and select press releases, which may contain material information about us, and you may subscribe to be notified of new information posted to this site.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted accounting guidance amending the accounting for leases, which did not have a material impact on our 2019 operating results.

Under this new guidance, leases we previously referred to as “capital leases” are now referred to as “finance leases.” Leases we previously referred to as “finance leases” are now referred to as “financing obligations.”

______________________________
(1) | On January 1, 2019, we adopted accounting guidance amending the accounting for leases, which did not have a material impact on our 2019 operating results. Prior period amounts were not retrospectively adjusted. Under this new guidance, leases we previously referred to as “capital leases” are now referred to as “finance leases.” Leases we previously referred to as “finance leases” are now referred to as “financing obligations.” |
(2) | For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, this amount relates to equipment included in “Property and equipment acquired under finance leases” of $11,944 million. Amounts for periods prior to 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted. |
(3) | For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, this amount relates to property included in “Principal repayments of finance leases” of $8,693 million. Amounts for periods prior to 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted. |
(4) | Free cash flow is cash flow from operations reduced by “Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from property and equipment incentives.” |
(5) | Free cash flow less principal repayments of finance leases and financing obligations is free cash flow reduced by “Principal repayments of finance leases” and “Principal repayments of financing obligations.” |
(6) | Free cash flow less equipment finance leases and principal repayments of all other finance leases and financing obligations is free cash flow reduced by equipment acquired under finance leases, which is included in “Property and equipment acquired under finance leases,” principal repayments of all other finance lease liabilities, which is included in “Principal repayments of finance leases,” and “Principal repayments of financing obligations.” |

Exhibit 99.2
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Regulation G, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and other SEC regulations define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. Our measures of free cash flows and the effect of foreign exchange rates on our consolidated statements of operations meet the definition of non-GAAP financial measures.
We provide multiple measures of free cash flows because we believe these measures provide additional perspective on the impact of acquiring property and equipment with cash and through finance leases and financing obligations.
Free cash flow is cash flow from operations reduced by “Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from property and equipment incentives.”
Free cash flow less principal repayments of finance leases and financing obligations is free cash flow reduced by “Principal repayments of finance leases” and “Principal repayments of financing obligations.”
Free cash flow less equipment finance leases and principal repayments of all other finance leases and financing obligations is free cash flow reduced by equipment acquired under finance leases, which is included in “Property and equipment acquired under finance leases,” principal repayments of all other finance lease liabilities, which is included in “Principal repayments of finance leases,” and “Principal repayments of financing obligations.” All other finance lease liabilities and financing obligations consists of property. In this measure, equipment acquired under finance leases is reflected as if these assets had been purchased with cash, which is not the case as these assets have been leased.
All of these free cash flows measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, these measures of free cash flows do not incorporate the portion of payments representing principal reductions of debt or cash payments for business acquisitions. Additionally, our mix of property and equipment acquisitions with cash or other financing options may change over time. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flows measures only as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows.
For a quantitative reconciliation of our free cash flow measures to the most directly comparable amounts reported in accordance with GAAP, see “Supplemental Financial Information and Business Metrics” in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The effect on our consolidated statements of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Information regarding the effect of foreign exchange rates, versus the U.S. Dollar, on our consolidated statements of operations is provided to show reported period operating results had the foreign exchange rates remained the same as those in effect in the comparable prior year period. We include various measures on both an as-reported basis and a basis showing the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar in “Supplemental Financial Information and Business Metrics” in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
