NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated cash flows, operating results, and balance sheets for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2026 due to seasonal and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amazon.com, Inc. and its consolidated entities (collectively, the “Company”), consisting of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which we have a variable interest (“VIEs”) and of which we are the primary beneficiary, including certain entities in India and certain entities that support our healthcare services and production and distribution of video content. We are the primary beneficiary if we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE and absorb the losses or benefits that would be significant to the VIE. Intercompany balances and transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, collectability of receivables, commitments and contingencies, impairment of property and equipment and operating leases, income taxes, inventory valuation, self-insurance liabilities, stock-based compensation forfeiture rates, the determination of when to capitalize certain costs relating to new products or service offerings, useful lives of equipment, valuation and impairment of investments, valuation of acquired intangibles and goodwill, valuation of derivative instruments, vendor funding, and viewing patterns of capitalized video content. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We review the useful lives of equipment on an ongoing basis.
During Q2 2026, we received approximately $ 640 million of tariff refunds under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). These tariff refunds were primarily recorded as a reduction to “Cost of sales” and primarily impacted our North America segment. This represents the significant majority of refunds we expect to receive.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when we have a net loss, stock awards are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.
The following table shows the calculation of diluted shares (in millions):

The reclassification adjustments for the gains on available-for-sale debt securities of $ 3.3 billion and $ 4.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 are primarily from the portions of our convertible notes investments in Anthropic, PBC (“Anthropic”) that were converted to nonvoting preferred stock during Q1 2025 and Q1 2026. The upward adjustments relating to equity investments in private companies of $ 50.5 billion in Q2 2026 and $ 62.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 reflect observable changes in prices, primarily from our nonvoting preferred stock in Anthropic.

Derivatives and Hedging
Energy Contracts — We enter into energy contracts to secure electricity supply for our existing and future operations, some of which extend 20 years. We may make or receive net cash payments, rather than take delivery of electricity, when our consumption is less than committed quantities due to operational variability. Because we may make or receive net cash payments, these contracts are derivative instruments. These contracts are not traded on exchanges or transacted in secondary markets and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value each reporting period. Fair value measurements are based on valuation methods using both common factors like electricity futures prices where there are more liquid trading volumes generally for remaining contractual periods up to four to six years , forward capacity auctions, and risk-free interest rates, and a number of management assumptions for remaining contractual periods greater than four to six years where there is significantly less or no trading data such as long-dated forward commodity prices and implied volatility curves, and credit adjustments. The extent of management judgment is significant (Level 3).
Fair value measurements will not impact cash flows but may be material to our statements of operations and balance sheet due to the duration of these contracts and volatility inherent in valuation methods. Generally, we can terminate our contracts by paying cash in the form of fixed penalties, such as reimbursing the counterparty for the costs of new construction incurred. Termination penalties are generally not based on fair value measurements.
As of June 30, 2026, the energy contract quantities subject to derivative accounting fair value measurements were approximately 270 million megawatt-hours and the weighted-average remaining duration of these contracts is approximately 15 years, with the majority of these megawatt-hours to be delivered beyond the next nine years . The impact of these fair value measurements on our consolidated statements of operations was not significant in Q2 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and resulted in net unrealized gains of $ 551 million in Q2 2026 and $ 599 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, recorded within “Technology and infrastructure” and primarily impacting our AWS segment.
Changes in fair value measurements will create unrealized gains and losses recorded within operating expenses on our statements of operations with corresponding assets (unrealized gains) and liabilities (unrealized losses) recorded on our balance sheet within “Other assets” and “Other long-term liabilities.” As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, we had recorded assets of $ 112 million and $ 705 million, and liabilities of $ 139 million and $ 133 million.
Certain of our energy contracts are subject to regulatory approval and are exempt from derivative guidance until the approval is obtained. If possible, we may elect the normal purchases and normal sales (NPNS) scope exemption from derivative guidance for energy contracts where we expect to consume substantially all committed quantities. A contract that no longer meets the NPNS exemption must be measured at fair value with immediate recognition in our financial statements.
Net Investment Hedges — Our foreign currency-denominated unsecured senior notes create exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 2026, we have designated $ 20.7 billion of our Euro- and Canadian Dollar-denominated Notes as net investment hedges to mitigate foreign currency exposures related to the translation of our investments in foreign operations to U.S. dollars. Foreign currency unrealized gains and losses on these notes are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss),” a separate component of stockholders’ equity, until the foreign operations are sold or substantially liquidated, at which point these amounts and any translation adjustment of the foreign operations are reclassified to our consolidated statements of operations.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in, first-out method, and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category. The inventory valuation allowance, representing a write-down of inventory, was $ 3.3 billion and $ 3.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
Accounts Receivable, Net and Other
Included in “Accounts receivable, net and other” on our consolidated balance sheets are receivables primarily related to customers, vendors, and prepaid expenses and other current assets. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, customer receivables, net, were $ 40.4 billion and $ 49.2 billion, vendor receivables, net, were $ 15.9 billion and $ 21.7 billion, and other receivables, net, were $ 4.5 billion and $ 9.8 billion. Prepaid expenses and other current assets, which include amounts related to satellite network launch services deposits, were $ 6.9 billion and $ 7.4 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. We currently expense satellite network launch services deposits upon launch to “Technology and infrastructure.”
We estimate losses on receivables based on expected losses, including our historical experience of actual losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 2.4 billion and $ 2.8 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.

Table of Contents
Digital Video and Music Content
Included in “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets are the total capitalized costs of video, which is primarily released content, and music, which as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 were $ 21.3 billion. Total video and music expense was $ 5.1 billion and $ 6.9 billion in Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $ 10.2 billion and $ 12.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026.
Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue is recorded when payments are received or due in advance of performing our service obligations and is recognized over the service period. Unearned revenue primarily relates to prepayments of AWS services and Amazon Prime memberships. Our total unearned revenue as of December 31, 2025 was $ 25.0 billion, of which $ 15.2 billion was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Included in “Other long-term liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets was $ 4.4 billion and $ 4.5 billion of unearned revenue as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
Additionally, we have performance obligations, primarily related to AWS, associated with commitments in customer contracts for future services that we expect to fulfill but have not yet been recognized in our financial statements. For contracts with original terms that exceed one year, those commitments not yet recognized were approximately $ 496 billion as of June 30, 2026. The weighted-average remaining life of our long-term contracts is 6.4 years. The amount and timing of revenue recognition will be driven by customer usage and our performance in accordance with contractual obligations, which can extend beyond the original contractual duration and commitment.
In Q1 2026, AWS and OpenAI Group PBC (“OpenAI”) announced an expansion of the existing $ 38.0 billion multi-year commitment and commercial arrangement with OpenAI by $ 100.0 billion over 8.0 years, which includes contractual obligations related to the performance of AWS chips.
In Q2 2026, AWS and Anthropic announced an expansion of the strategic collaboration and existing multi-year commitment by more than $ 100.0 billion over 10.0 years, which includes contractual obligations related to the performance of AWS chips.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU amending existing income statement disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for expenses. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
Note 2 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Marketable Securities
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities primarily consisted of cash, AAA-rated money market funds, U.S. government and agency securities, other investment grade securities, and marketable equity securities. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical unrestricted assets in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
We measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Other marketable securities were valued either based on recent trades of unrestricted securities in active markets, securities in inactive markets, or quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

(1) The related unrealized gain (loss) recorded in “Other income (expense), net” was $ 393 million and $ 1.3 billion in Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $ 188 million and $ 454 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026.
(2) We are required to pledge or otherwise restrict a portion of our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities primarily as collateral for real estate, amounts due to third-party sellers in certain jurisdictions, debt, standby and trade letters of credit, and licenses of digital media content. We classify cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities with use restrictions of less than twelve months as “Accounts receivable, net and other” and of twelve months or longer as non-current “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. See “Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies.”
The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of our cash equivalents and marketable debt securities as of June 30, 2026 (in millions):
Amortized
Cost Estimated
Fair Value
Due within one year $ 96,479 $ 96,471
Due after one year through five years 8,733 8,702
Due after five years through ten years 440 439
Due after ten years 926 906
Total $ 106,578 $ 106,518
Actual maturities may differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers may have certain prepayment conditions.
Non-Marketable Investments
Anthropic — From Q3 2023 to Q4 2025, we invested $ 8.0 billion in convertible notes from Anthropic, which are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and as Level 3 assets. In making these estimates, we utilized valuation methods based on information available, including the rights and obligations of the convertible notes, other outstanding classes of securities, observable transactions such as new securities offerings, estimates of expected time to and type of liquidity events and anticipated securities offerings, and discounts for lack of marketability. The convertible notes are subject to our ownership cap, which may be waived at our election.
In Q1 2025 and Q1 2026, a portion of the then-outstanding notes was converted to nonvoting preferred stock. The investments in nonvoting preferred stock are initially recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of each conversion and are accounted for as a component of our equity investments in private companies not accounted for under the equity-method, with future adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments representing Level 3 fair value measurements

recognized in “Other income (expense), net” on our consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these conversions, a portion of the unrealized gain associated with the notes included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” was reclassified and gains of approximately $ 3.3 billion and $ 4.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 were recorded in “Other income (expense), net.”
In Q2 2026, we invested $ 5.0 billion in Anthropic Series G nonvoting preferred stock. We also amended our commercial arrangement primarily for the provision of AWS cloud services, which includes contractual obligations related to the performance of AWS chips. Additionally, we entered into a financing arrangement to make available to Anthropic an aggregate facility not to exceed $ 20.0 billion that will expire 30 months after an Anthropic liquidity event, including an initial public offering (“IPO”). At inception, there is no amount available to be drawn against and as we reach certain delivery milestones of compute capacity under the amended commercial arrangement, amounts under this facility are made available for Anthropic to draw upon at its discretion. Draws against the facility will be in the form of new Anthropic convertible notes or, after an IPO or other liquidity event and subject to our ownership cap, Anthropic common stock, which will be issued to us in exchange for cash. Under this financing arrangement, in Q2 2026, we exercised our option to participate in subsequent Anthropic equity financings by investing $ 5.0 billion in Anthropic Series H nonvoting preferred stock, which reduced the amount available under the facility to $ 15.0 billion.
We recorded upward adjustments of approximately $ 50.5 billion in Q2 2026 and $ 62.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 to our nonvoting preferred stock in “Other income (expense), net” to reflect observable changes in price related to Anthropic’s fundings. In making these Level 3 fair value measurements, we utilized valuation methods based on information available, including the rights and obligations of the nonvoting preferred stock, other outstanding classes of securities, estimates of expected time to and type of liquidity events and anticipated securities offerings, and discounts for lack of marketability.
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, the amounts recorded on our consolidated balance sheets for nonvoting preferred stock were approximately $ 14.8 billion and $ 92.5 billion. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, the estimated fair value of our convertible notes recorded on our consolidated balance sheets was approximately $ 45.8 billion and $ 97.9 billion, and the associated unrealized gain included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” was $ 39.5 billion and $ 92.0 billion.
In the event Anthropic consummates an IPO or other liquidity event, then-outstanding notes would be converted to nonvoting common stock, subject to our ownership cap, and nonvoting preferred stock would be converted to nonvoting common stock. Any then-outstanding notes that are not converted to nonvoting common stock would continue to be convertible to nonvoting common stock, subject to our ownership cap. We expect to be subject to a customary lock-up period following an IPO, and thereafter will remain subject to applicable securities laws restrictions.
OpenAI — In Q1 2026, we and OpenAI entered into (i) a commercial arrangement primarily for the provision of AWS cloud services, which includes the use and performance of AWS chips, and (ii) a joint collaboration agreement pursuant to which certain services using OpenAI models will be made available to the Company and on AWS. We also invested $ 15.0 billion in Series C Preferred Stock of OpenAI and entered into an equity commitment letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to purchase additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) with an aggregate purchase price of $ 35.0 billion (the “Commitment Amount”). In Q2 2026, we invested $ 13.7 billion of the Commitment Amount in Series C Preferred Stock. We account for our $ 28.7 billion investment in Series C Preferred Stock recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, and the remaining Commitment Amount as a component of our equity investments in private companies not accounted for under the equity-method, with future adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments representing Level 3 fair value measurements recognized in “Other income (expense), net” on our consolidated statements of operations.
In the event OpenAI consummates an IPO or other liquidity event, then-outstanding Series C Preferred Stock would be converted to common stock. We expect to be subject to a customary lock-up period following an IPO and thereafter will remain subject to applicable securities laws restrictions.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we invested the remaining $ 21.3 billion Commitment Amount in shares of Series C Preferred Stock of OpenAI.
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, equity investments in private companies not accounted for under the equity-method, which primarily relate to nonvoting preferred stock in Anthropic and preferred stock in OpenAI, had a carrying value of $ 16.2 billion and $ 122.3 billion, with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments representing Level 3 fair value measurements recognized in “Other income (expense), net” on our consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, equity investments accounted for under the equity-method of accounting, including investments for which we have elected the fair value option, had a carrying value of $ 659 million and $ 395 million.

We hold equity warrants giving us the right to acquire stock of other companies. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, these warrants had a fair value of $ 2.7 billion and $ 4.3 billion, with gains and losses recognized in “Other income (expense), net” on our consolidated statements of operations. These warrants are classified as Level 2 and 3 assets.
These non-marketable investments are included within “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets.
Certain of our investments, including our investments in Anthropic and OpenAI, represent a variable interest in entities that we do not consolidate because we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss is generally limited to the current carrying values of these investments and any future funding commitments.

(1) Includes non-cancellable financing obligations for fulfillment network and data center facilities. Excluding interest, current financing obligations of $ 358 million and $ 415 million are recorded within “Accrued expenses and other” and $ 7.8 billion and $ 8.9 billion are recorded within “Other long-term liabilities” as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. The weighted-average remaining term of the financing obligations was 15.0 years and 14.9 years and the weighted-average imputed interest rate was 2.9 % and 3.2 % as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
(2) Includes unconditional purchase obligations related to long-term agreements to procure energy, acquire and license digital media content, acquire property and equipment, and license software that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. For those agreements with variable terms or subject to certain regulatory approvals, we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum quantities and/or pricing, or termination penalties, as of the reporting date. Purchase obligations associated with renewal provisions solely at the option of the content provider are included to the extent such commitments are fixed or a minimum amount is specified. Energy agreements based on actual generation without a fixed or minimum volume commitment are not included. Certain of our energy agreements also provide the right to receive energy certificates.
(3) Includes asset retirement obligations, the estimated timing and amounts of payments for rent and tenant improvements associated with build-to-suit lease arrangements that are under construction, and liabilities associated with digital media content agreements with initial terms greater than one year. Excludes approximately $ 7.1 billion of income tax contingencies for which we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of payment, if any.
On April 13, 2026, Amazon entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar”), a Delaware corporation, for a mix of cash and stock consideration. Under the terms of the merger agreement, prior to closing, Globalstar stockholders will elect to receive, for each share of Globalstar common stock they own, either (i) $ 90.00 in cash or (ii) 0.3210 shares of Amazon common stock (with a value capped at $ 90.00 per share). The value of the total consideration will vary based on the price of shares of Amazon common stock and the elections of Globalstar stockholders. The total consideration is also subject to (i) a proration mechanism that caps aggregate cash elections to a maximum of 40 % of total Globalstar shares, and automatically converts excess cash consideration into stock consideration on a pro rata basis and (ii) a downward adjustment of a maximum of $ 110 million in the event Globalstar does not meet certain operational milestones. As of the date of the merger agreement, the acquisition implied a value for Globalstar of approximately $ 10.9 billion, including its debt. On the date of the merger agreement, we also entered into agreements with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), Globalstar’s largest customer, to provide certain services after the acquisition and to redeem certain equity interests held by Apple in a Globalstar special purpose entity.
The acquisition is expected to close in 2027, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and Globalstar’s achievement of certain satellite replacement milestones.
Other Contingencies
We are disputing claims and denials of refunds or credits, and monitoring or evaluating potential claims, related to various non-income taxes (such as sales, value added, consumption, service, and similar taxes), including in jurisdictions in which we already collect and remit these taxes. These non-income tax controversies typically include (i) the taxability of products and services, including cross-border intercompany transactions, (ii) collection and withholding on transactions with
15
Table of Contents
third parties, including as a result of evolving requirements imposed on marketplaces with respect to third-party sellers, and (iii) the adequacy of compliance with reporting obligations, including evolving documentation requirements. Due to the inherent complexity and uncertainty of these matters and the judicial and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions, the final outcome of any such controversies may be materially different from our expectations.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in claims, proceedings, and litigation, including the matters described in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies — Legal Proceedings” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies — Legal Proceedings” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, as supplemented by the following:
Beginning in June 2019 with Wilcosky v. Amazon.com, Inc., now pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (“N.D. Ill.”), private litigants have filed a number of cases in U.S. federal and state courts, including Hogan v. Amazon.com, Inc. (N.D. Ill.), alleging, among other things, that Amazon’s collection, storage, use, retention, and protection of biometric identifiers violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints allege purported classes of Illinois residents who had biometric identifiers collected through Amazon products or services, including Amazon’s voice-based AI products and services, Amazon Photos, Alexa, AWS cloud services, Amazon Connect, Amazon’s virtual try-on technology, and Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology. The complaints seek certification as class actions, unspecified amounts of damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.
Since March 2020, private litigants, state Attorneys General, and the Federal Trade Commission have filed cases in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom alleging, among other things: price fixing arrangements between each of Amazon and its vendors and Amazon and its third-party sellers; abuse of dominance, monopolization, and attempted monopolization; and consumer protection and unjust enrichment claims, in violation of federal and state antitrust, state consumer protection, and Canadian and U.K. antitrust laws. The first of these complaints was Frame-Wilson v. Amazon.com, Inc., which was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (“W.D. Wash.”). These complaints seek billions of dollars of alleged damages, treble damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, structural relief, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees, and costs. Some of the private plaintiff cases include allegations of distinct purported classes, including consumers who purchased a product through Amazon’s stores and consumers who purchased a product offered by Amazon through another e-commerce retailer. Some of the cases include allegations that Amazon has a monopoly in markets for online superstores, marketplace services, or intermediation services and that we unlawfully engage in anticompetitive practices relating to our pricing policies, selection of the Featured Offers, use of seller data, advertising practices, the structure of Prime, and promotion of our own products on our website. In the U.S., most of Amazon’s motions to dismiss were granted in part, but in each case, at least some of the claims survived. In Canada, class certification was denied in a case before the Federal Court of Canada, finding that plaintiffs had not stated a viable claim, and plaintiffs’ appeal of that ruling is pending. Three Canadian class actions before other courts are pre-certification. In the United Kingdom, two class actions have been certified and a third is pre-certification. In the U.S., one class action has been certified, and three others are pre-certification. We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.
In June 2025, Xockets, Inc. filed two complaints against Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon Web Services, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaints allege, among other things, that certain versions of the AWS Nitro System infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 11,080,209; 10,649,924; 11,082,350; 10,223,297; 9,378,161; 9,436,640; and 10,212,092. The complaints seek an unspecified amount of damages, enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, interest, and injunctive relief. In May 2026, Xockets filed a complaint against Amazon.com, Inc., Amazon Web Services, Inc., Annapurna Labs (U.S.), Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, and Microsoft Corporation at the United States International Trade Commission alleging, among other things, that EC2 P6e-GB200 UltraServers, DGX Cloud with GB200 on AWS, SageMaker HyperPod, and EKS with P6e-GB200 UltraServers infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 10,223,297; 9,378,161; 10,212,092; 9,436,640; and 11,082,350 and seeking injunctive relief. In June 2026, the International Trade Commission instituted an investigation. We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.
In addition, we are regularly subject to claims, litigation, and other proceedings, including government inquiries and investigations that could lead to the foregoing and potential regulatory proceedings, involving patent and other intellectual property matters, taxes, labor and employment, competition and antitrust, privacy and data protection, consumer protection, commercial disputes, goods and services offered by us and by third parties, and other matters.
The outcomes of our legal proceedings and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our operating results and cash flows for a particular period. We evaluate, on a regular basis, developments in our legal proceedings and other contingencies that could affect the amount of liability, including amounts in excess of any previous accruals and reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments and changes to our
16
Table of Contents
accruals and disclosures as appropriate. For the matters we disclose that do not include an estimate of the amount of loss or range of losses, such an estimate is not possible or is immaterial, and we may be unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of non-monetary remedies. Until the final resolution of such matters, if any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, we may experience losses in excess of the amounts recorded, which could have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(3) Includes € 1.8 billion of floating rate Notes due in 2028. Interest is calculated using Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 0.35 %, payable quarterly in arrears.
Interest on the Notes is primarily payable semi-annually in arrears except for the fixed rate March 2026 Euro-denominated Notes and May 2026 Swiss franc-denominated Notes for which interest is primarily payable annually in arrears. We may redeem the fixed rate Notes at any time in whole, or from time to time, in part at specified redemption prices, except for the May 2026 Swiss franc-denominated Notes, which we may redeem on or after the applicable par call dates in whole, but not in part. The floating rate Notes are generally not redeemable prior to maturity. We are not subject to any financial covenants under the Notes.
The estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $ 61.1 billion and $ 123.8 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, which is based on quoted prices for our debt as of those dates.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we issued $ 25.0 billion of U.S. Dollar-denominated Notes for general corporate purposes with maturities between 2029 and 2066, including $ 750 million of floating rate Notes due in 2029 based on the compounded SOFR plus 0.58 %. The fixed rate Notes have stated interest rates between 4.60 % and 6.25 %, and effective interest rates between 4.67 % and 6.33 %.
We have U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper programs (the “Commercial Paper Programs”) under which we may from time to time issue unsecured commercial paper up to a total of $ 30.0 billion (including up to € 3.0 billion) at the date of issue, with individual maturities that may vary but will not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Programs as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. We use the net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper for general corporate purposes.
We have an aggregate $ 20.0 billion in unsecured revolving credit facilities with syndicates of lenders, consisting of a $ 15.0 billion facility (the “Credit Agreement”) and a $ 5.0 billion 364-day facility (the “Short-Term Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement has a term that extends to November 2028 and may be extended for one or more additional one-year terms subject to approval by the lenders. The interest rate applicable to outstanding balances under the Credit Agreement is the applicable benchmark rate specified in the Credit Agreement plus 0.45 %, with a commitment fee of 0.03 % on the undrawn portion of the credit facility. The Short-Term Credit Agreement matures in October 2026 and may be extended for one additional period of 364 days subject to approval by the lenders. The interest rate applicable to outstanding balances under the Short-Term Credit Agreement is the SOFR specified in the Short-Term Credit Agreement plus 0.45 %, with a commitment fee of 0.03 % on the undrawn portion. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Short-Term Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
In June 2026, we entered into a $ 17.5 billion unsecured delayed draw term loan with a syndicate of lenders (“Term Loan”), which matures three years from the date of borrowing and bears interest at the SOFR specified in the Term Loan plus a margin ranging from 0.625 % to 0.875 % based on our credit ratings. We may draw up to $ 17.5 billion in a single draw on any business day on or prior to September 30, 2026, after which any undrawn commitments will automatically terminate. Amounts borrowed and repaid may not be reborrowed. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan as of June 30, 2026.
We also utilize other short-term credit facilities for working capital purposes. There were $ 455 million and $ 325 million of borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, which were included in “Accrued expenses and other” on our consolidated balance sheets.
Standby letters of credit are guarantees issued by financial institutions on our behalf, which can only be drawn in the event we fail to perform under the underlying obligation, and do not reduce the amount of borrowings available under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2026, our total standby letter of credit facilities assigned to specific beneficiaries was $ 13.4 billion, primarily related to our payment-related services, and workers’ compensation and insurance programs.
Note 6 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Activity
In March 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $ 10.0 billion of our common stock, with no fixed expiration. There were no repurchases of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we have $ 6.1 billion remaining under the repurchase program.
Stock Award Plans

Note 7 — INCOME TAXES
Our tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.
Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, intercompany transactions, the applicability of special tax regimes, changes in how we do business, acquisitions, investments, developments in tax controversies, changes in our stock price, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, foreign currency gains (losses), changes in statutes, regulations, case law, and administrative practices, principles, and interpretations related to tax, including changes to the global tax framework, competition, and other laws and accounting rules in various jurisdictions, and relative changes of expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or

loss. For example, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible expenses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower. In addition, we record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when there is uncertainty about our ability to generate future income in relevant jurisdictions.
For 2026, we estimate that our effective tax rate will be adversely affected by state income taxes and favorably impacted by the U.S. federal research and development credit.
Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $ 7.2 billion, which included $ 753 million of net discrete tax benefits primarily attributable to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $ 27.8 billion, which included $ 15.9 billion of net discrete tax expense primarily attributable to the upward adjustments to our investments in Anthropic.
On February 18, 2026, the IRS issued Notice 2026-7 (the “2026 Notice”), which included guidance on the U.S. tax treatment of previously capitalized domestic research and development costs. We expect the 2026 Notice, which applied retroactively to 2025, to result in a significant decrease of 2024 and 2025 cash taxes paid. Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds was $ 4.8 billion and $ 2.7 billion in Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $ 5.6 billion and $ 4.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026.
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, income tax contingencies were approximately $ 6.6 billion and $ 7.1 billion. Changes in tax laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations may impact our tax contingencies. Due to various factors, including the inherent complexities and uncertainties of the judicial, administrative, and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions, the timing of the resolution of income tax controversies is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax controversies in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements could result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on prior years’ tax filings.
We are under examination, or may be subject to examination, by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar year 2016 and thereafter. These examinations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to our taxes or our net operating losses with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods.
We are also subject to taxation in various states and foreign jurisdictions including Germany, India, Japan, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom. We are under, or may be subject to, audit or examination and additional assessments by the relevant authorities in respect of these particular jurisdictions primarily for 2011 and thereafter. We are currently disputing tax assessments in multiple jurisdictions, including with respect to the allocation and characterization of income.
In September 2022, the Luxembourg tax authority (“LTA”) denied the tax basis of certain intangible assets that we distributed from Luxembourg to the U.S. in 2021. When we are assessed by the LTA, we will need to remit taxes related to this matter. We believe the LTA’s position is without merit, we intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter, and we expect to recoup taxes paid.
The Indian tax authority (“ITA”) has asserted that tax applies to cloud services fees paid to Amazon in the U.S. We will need to remit taxes related to this matter until it is resolved, which payments could be significant in the aggregate. We believe the ITA’s position is without merit, we are defending our position vigorously, and we expect to recoup taxes paid. If this matter is adversely resolved, we could recognize significant additional tax expense, including for taxes previously paid.
Note 8 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have organized our operations into three segments: North America, International, and AWS. We allocate to segment results the operating expenses “Fulfillment,” “Technology and infrastructure,” “Sales and marketing,” and “General and administrative” based on usage, which is generally reflected in the segment in which the costs are incurred. The majority of technology costs recorded in “Technology and infrastructure” are incurred in the U.S. and are included in our North America and AWS segments. The majority of infrastructure costs recorded in “Technology and infrastructure” are allocated to the AWS segment based on usage. There are no internal revenue transactions between our reportable segments. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM regularly reviews consolidated net sales, consolidated operating expenses, and consolidated operating income (loss) by segment. Amounts included in consolidated operating expenses include “Cost of sales,” “Fulfillment,” “Technology and infrastructure,” “Sales and marketing,” “General and administrative,” and “Other operating expense (income), net.” Our CODM manages our business primarily by reviewing consolidated results by segment on a quarterly basis, and using those results along with forecasts and other non-financial information in our annual budgeting process.

Table of Contents
North America
The North America segment primarily consists of amounts earned from retail sales of consumer products (including from sellers) and advertising and subscription services through North America-focused online and physical stores. This segment includes export sales from these online stores.
International
The International segment primarily consists of amounts earned from retail sales of consumer products (including from sellers) and advertising and subscription services through internationally-focused online stores. This segment includes export sales from these internationally-focused online stores (including export sales from these online stores to customers in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada), but excludes export sales from our North America-focused online stores.
AWS
The AWS segment consists of amounts earned from global sales of compute, storage, database, and other services for start-ups, enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions.
