- Free cash flow has limitations as it omits certain components of the overall cash flow statement and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate the portion of payments representing principal reductions of debt or cash payments for business acquisitions. Additionally, our mix of property | 33
- and equipment acquisitions with cash or other financing options may change over time. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow only as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows.

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

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. 7 Table of Contents Supplemental Cash Flow Information The following table shows supplemental cash flow information (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 2025 2026 SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION: Cash paid for interest on debt, net of capitalized interest $ 523 $ 736 $ 759 $ 1,010 $ 1,668 $ 1,709 Cash paid for operating leases 3,758 3,489 7,320 7,804 13,485 15,522 Cash paid for interest on finance leases 72 85 143 187 284 339 Cash paid for interest on financing obligations 52 50 107 126 212 215 Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds 4,761 2,655 5,638 3,978 11,788 6,635 Assets acquired under operating leases 4,621 7,670 8,942 13,909 16,702 24,897 Property and equipment acquired under finance leases, net of remeasurements and modifications 937 563 991 2,128 1,622 4,048 Increase (decrease) in property and equipment acquired but not yet paid ( 1,600 ) 10,700 1,508 20,620 5,376 29,267 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): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 Shares used in computation of basic earnings per share 10,637 10,769 10,620 10,756 Total dilutive effect of outstanding stock awards 169 134 180 133 Shares used in computation of diluted earnings per share 10,806 10,903 10,800 10,889 Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense), net is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 Marketable equity securities valuation gains (losses), net $ 388 $ 1,319 $ 250 $ 430 Equity warrant valuation gains (losses), net 590 1,449 212 1,051 Reclassification adjustments for gains (losses) on available-for-sale debt securities, net 22 — 3,285 4,479 Upward adjustments relating to equity investments in private companies 49 50,486 86 62,814 Foreign currency gains (losses), net 70 227 68 387 Other, net ( 2 ) ( 66 ) ( 35 ) ( 99 ) Total other income (expense), net $ 1,117 $ 53,415 $ 3,866 $ 69,062 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. 8 Table of Contents 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. 9 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. 10 Table of Contents The following table summarizes, by major investment type, our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (in millions): December 31, 2025 June 30, 2026 Total Estimated Fair Value Cost or Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Total Estimated Fair Value Cash and time deposits $ 16,145 $ 14,497 $ — $ — $ 14,497 Level 1: Money market funds 29,777 40,845 — — 40,845 Equity securities (1) 3,687 3,498 Level 2: U.S. government and agency securities 5,222 4,558 — ( 24 ) 4,534 Corporate debt securities 69,585 59,458 6 ( 33 ) 59,431 Asset-backed securities 1,780 1,690 1 ( 10 ) 1,681 Other financial instruments 129 27 — — 27 Equity securities (1) $ — $ 1,189 $ 126,325 $ 121,075 $ 7 $ ( 67 ) $ 125,702 Less: Restricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (2) ( 3,296 ) ( 2,714 ) Total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities $ 123,029 $ 122,988 ___________________ (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 11 Table of Contents 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. 12 Table of Contents 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. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Reconciliation The following table provides a reconciliation of the amount of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in millions): December 31, 2025 June 30, 2026 Cash and cash equivalents $ 86,810 $ 78,213 Restricted cash included in “Accounts receivable, net and other” 300 283 Restricted cash included in “Other assets” 2,996 2,431 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows $ 90,106 $ 80,927 Note 3 — LEASES We have entered into non-cancellable operating and finance leases for fulfillment network, data center, office, and physical store facilities as well as server and networking equipment, aircraft, and vehicles. Gross assets acquired under finance leases, including those where title transfers at the end of the lease, are recorded in “ Property and equipment, net ” and were $ 55.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Accumulated amortization associated with finance leases was $ 40.4 billion and $ 39.8 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Lease cost recognized in our consolidated statements of operations is summarized as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 Operating lease cost $ 3,426 $ 4,118 $ 6,666 $ 8,035 Finance lease cost: Amortization of lease assets 827 692 1,700 1,425 Interest on lease liabilities 72 108 143 209 Finance lease cost 899 800 1,843 1,634 Variable lease cost 659 718 1,355 1,460 Total lease cost $ 4,984 $ 5,636 $ 9,864 $ 11,129 Other information about lease amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements is as follows: December 31, 2025 June 30, 2026 Weighted-average remaining lease term – operating leases 10.0 years 10.0 years Weighted-average remaining lease term – finance leases 12.6 years 12.6 years Weighted-average discount rate – operating leases 3.7 % 3.9 % Weighted-average discount rate – finance leases 3.4 % 3.6 % 13 Table of Contents Our lease liabilities were as follows (in millions): December 31, 2025 Operating Leases Finance Leases Total Gross lease liabilities $ 106,914 $ 14,917 $ 121,831 Less: imputed interest ( 17,662 ) ( 2,631 ) ( 20,293 ) Present value of lease liabilities 89,252 12,286 101,538 Less: current portion of lease liabilities ( 12,655 ) ( 1,544 ) ( 14,199 ) Total long-term lease liabilities $ 76,597 $ 10,742 $ 87,339 June 30, 2026 Operating Leases Finance Leases Total Gross lease liabilities $ 116,350 $ 16,660 $ 133,010 Less: imputed interest ( 20,030 ) ( 3,209 ) ( 23,239 ) Present value of lease liabilities 96,320 13,451 109,771 Less: current portion of lease liabilities ( 13,745 ) ( 1,688 ) ( 15,433 ) Total long-term lease liabilities $ 82,575 $ 11,763 $ 94,338 14 Table of Contents Note 4 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments The following summarizes our principal contractual commitments, excluding open orders for purchases that support normal operations and are generally cancellable, as of June 30, 2026 (in millions): Six Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Thereafter Total Long-term debt principal and interest $ 2,361 $ 14,060 $ 17,087 $ 13,528 $ 11,112 $ 162,161 $ 220,309 Operating lease liabilities 9,336 14,765 13,924 12,599 11,269 54,457 116,350 Finance lease liabilities, including interest 1,088 1,775 1,885 1,482 1,269 9,161 16,660 Financing obligations, including interest (1) 352 682 694 706 720 7,916 11,070 Leases not yet commenced 4,018 11,732 9,278 9,483 9,227 93,476 137,214 Unconditional purchase obligations (2) 23,452 33,026 9,326 7,961 7,659 48,641 130,065 Other commitments (3) 2,145 2,044 1,212 1,008 963 10,994 18,366 Total commitments $ 42,752 $ 78,084 $ 53,406 $ 46,767 $ 42,219 $ 386,806 $ 650,034 ___________________ (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. See also “Note 7 — Income Taxes.” Note 5 — DEBT As of June 30, 2026, we had $ 132.1 billion of unsecured senior notes outstanding (the “Notes”), including foreign currency-denominated Notes issued for general corporate purposes, the carrying values of which are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our total long-term debt obligations are as follows (in millions): Maturities (1) Stated Interest Rates Effective Interest Rates December 31, 2025 June 30, 2026 2014 Notes issuance of $ 6.0 billion 2034 - 2044 4.80 % - 4.95 % 4.93 % - 5.12 % 2,750 2,750 2017 Notes issuance of $ 17.0 billion 2027 - 2057 3.15 % - 4.25 % 3.25 % - 4.33 % 12,000 12,000 2020 Notes issuance of $ 10.0 billion 2027 - 2060 1.20 % - 2.70 % 1.26 % - 2.77 % 7,750 7,750 2021 Notes issuance of $ 18.5 billion 2028 - 2061 1.65 % - 3.25 % 1.70 % - 3.31 % 15,000 12,250 April 2022 Notes issuance of $ 12.8 billion 2027 - 2062 3.30 % - 4.10 % 3.40 % - 4.15 % 9,750 9,750 December 2022 Notes issuance of $ 8.3 billion 2027 - 2032 4.55 % - 4.70 % 4.61 % - 4.74 % 5,750 5,750 2025 Notes issuance of $ 15.0 billion 2028 - 2065 3.90 % - 5.55 % 3.99 % - 5.62 % 15,000 15,000 March 2026 Notes issuance of $ 37.0 billion (2) 2028 - 2076 3.85 % - 6.05 % 3.96 % - 6.12 % — 37,000 March 2026 Euro-denominated Notes issuance of € 14.5 billion (3) 2028 - 2064 2.50 % - 4.85 % 2.59 % - 4.88 % — 16,550 May 2026 Swiss franc-denominated Notes issuance of CHF 2.8 billion 2029 - 2051 0.84 % - 2.08 % 0.90 % - 2.10 % — 3,487 June 2026 Canadian Dollar-denominated Notes issuance of C$ 14.0 billion 2029 - 2056 3.40 % - 5.00 % 3.46 % - 5.05 % — 9,853 Other long-term debt 836 855 Total face value of long-term debt 68,836 132,995 Unamortized discount and issuance costs, net ( 440 ) ( 771 ) Less: current portion of long-term debt ( 2,748 ) ( 3,330 ) Long-term debt $ 65,648 $ 128,894 ___________________ (1) The weighted-average remaining lives of the 2014, 2017, 2020, 2021, April 2022, December 2022, 2025, March 2026, March 2026 Euro-denominated, May 2026 Swiss franc-denominated, and June 2026 Canadian Dollar-denominated Notes were 13.9 , 14.9 , 17.6 , 15.6 , 13.3 , 3.9 , 15.1 , 16.4 , 10.1 , 8.9 , and 14.8 years as of June 30, 2026. The combined weighted-average remaining life of the Notes was 14.2 years as of June 30, 2026. (2) Includes $ 2.8 billion of floating rate Notes due in 2028 and 2029. Interest is calculated using the compounded Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 0.44 % and 0.59 %, respectively, and payable quarterly in arrears. (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. 17 Table of Contents 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 Employees vest in restricted stock unit awards over the corresponding service term, generally between two and five years . The majority of outstanding restricted stock unit awards are granted at the date of hire or in Q2 as part of the annual compensation review and primarily vest quarterly in the relevant compensation year. 18 Table of Contents Stock Award Activity Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying outstanding stock awards totaled 11.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. These totals include all vested and unvested stock awards outstanding, including those awards we estimate will be forfeited.

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 21 Table of Contents 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. 22 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding guidance, industry prospects, or future results of operations or financial position, made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. We use words such as anticipates, believes, expects, future, intends, and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, among others, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and energy prices, changes in global economic conditions, tariff and trade policies, resource and supply volatility, including for memory chips, and customer demand and spending, inflation, interest rates, regional labor market constraints, world events, the rate of growth of the internet, online commerce, cloud services, and new and emerging technologies, 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 claims, litigation, government investigations, and other proceedings, fulfillment, sortation, delivery, and data center optimization, risks of inventory management, variability in demand, the degree to which we enter into, maintain, and develop commercial agreements, proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions, payments risks, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. In addition, global economic and geopolitical conditions and additional or unforeseen circumstances, developments, or events may give rise to or amplify many of these risks. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results or outcomes to differ significantly from management’s expectations, are described in greater detail in Item 1A of Part II, “Risk Factors.” For additional information, see Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Overview” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Critical Accounting 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. Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting estimates addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information, see Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 1 — Description of Business, Accounting Policies, and Supplemental Disclosures” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 1 — Accounting Policies and Supplemental Disclosures,” of this Form 10-Q. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions. 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. These assumptions about future disposition of inventory are inherently uncertain and changes in our estimates and assumptions may cause us to realize material write-downs in the future. As a measure of sensitivity, for every 1% of additional inventory valuation allowance as of June 30, 2026, we would have recorded an additional cost of sales of approximately $405 million. In addition, we enter into supplier commitments for certain electronic device components and certain products. These commitments are based on forecasted customer demand. If we reduce these commitments, we may incur additional costs. Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Tax laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without notice, due to economic, political, and other conditions, and significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for these taxes. There are many transactions that occur during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In addition, our actual and forecasted earnings are subject to 26 Table of Contents change due to economic, political, and other conditions and significant judgment is required in determining our ability to use our deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rates could be affected by numerous factors, such as changes in our business operations, acquisitions, investments, entry into new businesses and geographies, intercompany transactions, the relative amount of our foreign earnings, including earnings being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates, losses incurred in jurisdictions for which we are not able to realize related tax benefits, the applicability of special tax regimes, changes in foreign exchange rates, changes in our stock price, changes to our forecasts of income and loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, changes in the laws, regulations, 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. In addition, a number of countries have enacted or are actively pursuing changes to their tax laws applicable to corporate multinationals. We are also currently subject to tax controversies in various jurisdictions, and these jurisdictions may assess additional income tax liabilities against us. Developments in an audit, investigation, or other tax controversy could have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods for which that development occurs, as well as for prior and subsequent periods. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these proceedings to determine the adequacy of our tax accruals. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of audits, investigations, and any other tax controversies could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow information is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 2025 2026 Cash provided by (used in): Operating activities $ 32,515 $ 45,387 $ 49,530 $ 71,419 $ 121,137 $ 161,403 Investing activities (39,424) (79,245) (69,227) (143,457) (123,569) (216,775) Financing activities (2,539) 10,146 (2,586) 62,913 (8,652) 75,160 Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances, which, at fair value, were $123.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Amounts held in foreign currencies were $29.7 billion and $20.4 billion as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Our foreign currency balances include British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Indian Rupees, and Japanese Yen. Cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $32.5 billion and $45.4 billion for Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $49.5 billion and $71.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our consumer, seller, developer, enterprise, and content creator customers, and advertisers, offset by cash payments we make for products and services, employee compensation, payment processing and related transaction costs, operating leases, and interest payments. Cash received from our customers and other activities generally corresponds to our net sales. The increase in operating cash flow for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year period, was due to an increase in net income, excluding non-cash income and expenses, and changes in working capital. Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables, including variability in demand, inventory management and category expansion, the timing of cash receipts and payments, customer and vendor payment terms, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Cash provided by (used in) investing activities corresponds with cash capital expenditures, including leasehold improvements, incentives received from property and equipment vendors, proceeds from asset sales, cash outlays for acquisitions, investments in other companies and intellectual property rights, and purchases, sales, and maturities of marketable securities. Cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(39.4) billion and $(79.2) billion for Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $(69.2) billion and $(143.5) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, with the variability caused primarily by purchases, sales, and maturities of marketable securities and cash capital expenditures. Cash capital expenditures were $31.4 billion and $53.1 billion during Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $55.6 billion and $96.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, which primarily reflect investments in technology infrastructure (the majority of which is to support AWS business growth) and in additional capacity to support our fulfillment network, both of which we expect to increase in 2026. We made cash payments, net of acquired cash, related to acquisition and other investment activity of $1.7 billion and $24.4 billion during Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $1.7 billion and $39.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. In Q2 2025, we invested $1.3 billion in convertible notes from Anthropic. We invested $28.7 billion in OpenAI’s Series C Preferred Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2026, including $13.7 billion invested in Q2 2026. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we funded 27 Table of Contents the remaining Commitment Amount of $21.3 billion. In Q2 2026, we also invested $10.0 billion in Anthropic nonvoting preferred stock. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(2.5) billion and $10.1 billion for Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $(2.6) billion and $62.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. Cash inflows from financing activities resulted from proceeds from short-term debt, and other and long-term debt of $2.1 billion and $22.9 billion for Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $4.7 billion and $82.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. We expect to undertake additional financing activities in 2026. Cash outflows from financing activities resulted from payments of short-term debt, and other, long-term debt, finance leases, and financing obligations of $4.6 billion and $12.8 billion for Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $7.2 billion and $19.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. Property and equipment acquired under finance leases was $937 million and $563 million during Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $991 million and $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. We had no borrowings outstanding under the two unsecured revolving credit facilities or the commercial paper programs as of June 30, 2026. See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 5 — Debt” for additional information. Certain foreign subsidiary earnings and losses are subject to current U.S. taxation and the subsequent repatriation of those earnings is not subject to tax in the U.S. We intend to invest substantially all of our foreign subsidiary earnings, as well as our capital in our foreign subsidiaries, indefinitely outside of the U.S. in those jurisdictions in which we would incur significant, additional costs upon repatriation of such amounts. Our U.S. taxable income is reduced by accelerated depreciation deductions and the amortization of previously capitalized research and development costs. U.S. tax rules provide for enhanced accelerated depreciation deductions by allowing the election of full expensing of qualified property, as well as various alternatives for amortizing previously capitalized research and development costs. The 2026 Notice, which applied retroactively to 2025, is expected to result in a significant decrease of 2024 and 2025 cash taxes paid. Cash paid for U.S. (federal and state) and foreign income taxes (net of refunds) totaled $4.8 billion and $2.7 billion for 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, restricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $3.3 billion and $2.7 billion. See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies” and “Financial Statements — Note 5 — Debt” for additional discussion of our principal contractual commitments, as well as our pledged assets. Additionally, we have purchase obligations and open purchase orders, including for inventory and capital expenditures, that support normal operations and are primarily due in the next twelve months. These purchase obligations and open purchase orders are generally cancellable in full or in part through the contractual provisions. We believe that cash flows generated from operations and our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances, as well as our borrowing arrangements and other financing activities, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months. However, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. See Item 1A of Part II, “Risk Factors.” We continually evaluate opportunities to sell additional equity or debt securities, obtain credit facilities, obtain finance and operating lease arrangements, enter into financing obligations, repurchase common stock, pay dividends, repurchase, refinance, or otherwise restructure our debt, or access capital through other financing arrangements for strategic reasons or to further strengthen our financial position. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would be dilutive to our shareholders. In addition, we will, from time to time, consider the acquisition of, or investment in, complementary businesses, products, services, capital infrastructure, and technologies, which might affect our liquidity requirements or cause us to secure additional financing, or issue additional equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that additional credit lines or financing instruments will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, economic conditions and actions by policymaking bodies are contributing to changing interest rates and significant capital market volatility, which, along with any increases in our borrowing levels, could increase our future borrowing costs. 28 Table of Contents Results of Operations We have organized our operations into three segments: North America, International, and AWS. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations. See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 8 — Segment Information.” Overview Macroeconomic factors, including changes in inflation and interest rates, resource and supply volatility, global economic and geopolitical developments, including unpredictable shifts in global tariff and trade policies, and the development and adoption of technologies and services, including artificial intelligence, have direct and indirect impacts on our results of operations that are difficult to predict, isolate, and quantify. These could affect customer demand for our products and services, our ability to forecast growth needs, expenses, and benefits from new technologies. Further, we expect to continue making additional investments in our artificial intelligence initiatives. We expect some or all of these factors to continue to impact our results of operations into Q3 2026. Net Sales Net sales include product and service sales. Product sales represent revenue from the sale of products and related shipping fees and digital media content where we record revenue gross. Service sales primarily represent third-party seller fees, which include commissions and any related fulfillment and shipping fees, AWS sales, advertising services, Amazon Prime membership fees, and certain digital media content subscriptions. Net sales information is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 Net Sales: North America $ 100,068 $ 116,177 $ 192,955 $ 220,320 International 36,761 42,197 70,274 81,986 AWS 30,873 42,232 60,140 79,819 Consolidated $ 167,702 $ 200,606 $ 323,369 $ 382,125 Year-over-year Percentage Growth: North America 11 % 16 % 9 % 14 % International 16 15 10 17 AWS 17 37 17 33 Consolidated 13 20 11 18 Year-over-year Percentage Growth, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rates: North America 11 % 16 % 10 % 14 % International 11 15 9 13 AWS 17 37 17 33 Consolidated 12 20 11 17 Net Sales Mix: North America 60 % 58 % 60 % 58 % International 22 21 22 21 AWS 18 21 18 21 Consolidated 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % Sales increased 20% in Q2 2026, and 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the comparable prior year periods. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact net sales for Q2 2026, but increased net sales by $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026. For a discussion of the effect of foreign exchange rates on sales growth, see “Effect of Foreign Exchange Rates” below. North America sales increased 16% in Q2 2026, and 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the comparable prior year periods. The sales growth primarily reflects increased unit sales, including sales by third-party sellers, advertising sales, and subscription services. Increased unit sales were driven largely by our continued focus on price, selection, and 29 Table of Contents convenience for our customers, including from our fast shipping offers. Changes in foreign exchange rates increased North America net sales by $139 million for Q2 2026, and by $485 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. International sales increased 15% in Q2 2026, and 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the comparable prior year periods. The sales growth primarily reflects increased unit sales, including sales by third-party sellers, advertising sales, and subscription services. Increased unit sales were driven largely by our continued focus on price, selection, and convenience for our customers, including from our fast shipping offers. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact International net sales for Q2 2026, but increased International net sales by $2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 . AWS sales increased 37% in Q2 2026, and 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the comparable prior year periods. The sales growth primarily reflects increased customer usage, partially offset by pricing changes primarily driven by long-term customer contracts. Operating Expenses Information about operating expenses is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 Operating Expenses: Cost of sales $ 80,809 $ 95,778 $ 157,785 $ 183,241 Fulfillment 25,976 29,633 50,569 56,922 Technology and infrastructure 27,166 33,158 50,160 62,725 Sales and marketing 11,416 11,698 21,179 22,012 General and administrative 2,965 2,788 5,593 5,375 Other operating expense (income), net 199 90 507 537 Total operating expenses $ 148,531 $ 173,145 $ 285,793 $ 330,812 Year-over-year Percentage Growth (Decline): Cost of sales 10 % 19 % 8 % 16 % Fulfillment 10 14 10 13 Technology and infrastructure 22 22 17 25 Sales and marketing 9 2 5 4 General and administrative (3) (6) (3) (4) Other operating expense (income), net 108 (54) 56 6 Percent of Net Sales: Cost of sales 48.2 % 47.7 % 48.8 % 48.0 % Fulfillment 15.5 14.8 15.6 14.9 Technology and infrastructure 16.2 16.5 15.5 16.4 Sales and marketing 6.8 5.8 6.5 5.8 General and administrative 1.8 1.4 1.7 1.4 Other operating expense (income), net 0.1 — 0.2 0.1 Cost of Sales Cost of sales primarily consists of the purchase price of consumer products, inbound and outbound shipping costs, including costs related to sortation and delivery centers and where we are the transportation service provider, and digital media content costs where we record revenue gross, including video and music. The increase in cost of sales in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year periods, is primarily due to increased product and shipping costs resulting from increased sales, partially offset by operational efficiencies. Cost of sales in Q2 2026 includes tariff refunds received under the IEEPA. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact cost of sales for Q2 2026, but increased cost of sales by $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Shipping costs were $23.4 billion and $27.9 billion in Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $45.9 billion and $53.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of sales upon sale of products to our customers. We expect our cost of shipping to continue to increase to the 30 Table of Contents extent our customers accept and use our shipping offers at an increasing rate, we use more expensive shipping methods, and we offer additional services. We seek to mitigate costs of shipping over time in part through achieving higher sales volumes, optimizing our fulfillment network, negotiating better terms with our suppliers, and achieving better operating efficiencies. We believe that offering low prices to our customers is fundamental to our future success, and one way we offer lower prices is through shipping offers. Costs to operate our AWS segment are primarily classified as “Technology and infrastructure” as we leverage a shared infrastructure that supports both our internal technology requirements and external sales to AWS customers. Fulfillment Fulfillment costs primarily consist of those costs incurred in operating and staffing our North America and International fulfillment centers, physical stores, and customer service centers and payment processing costs. While AWS payment processing and related transaction costs are included in “Fulfillment,” AWS costs are primarily classified as “Technology and infrastructure.” Fulfillment costs as a percentage of net sales may vary due to several factors, such as payment processing and related transaction costs, our level of productivity and accuracy, changes in volume, size, and weight of units received and fulfilled, the extent to which third-party sellers utilize Fulfillment by Amazon services, timing of fulfillment network and physical store expansion, the extent we utilize fulfillment services provided by third parties, mix of products and services sold, and our ability to affect customer service contacts per unit by implementing improvements in our operations and enhancements to our customer self-service features. Additionally, sales by our sellers have higher payment processing and related transaction costs as a percentage of net sales compared to our retail sales because payment processing costs are based on the gross purchase price of underlying transactions. The increase in fulfillment costs in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year periods, is primarily due to increased sales and investments in our fulfillment network, partially offset by operational efficiencies. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact fulfillment costs for Q2 2026, but increased fulfillment costs by $523 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. We seek to expand our fulfillment network to accommodate a greater selection and in-stock inventory levels and to meet anticipated shipment volumes from sales of our own products as well as sales by third parties for which we provide the fulfillment services. We regularly evaluate our facility requirements. Technology and Infrastructure Technology and infrastructure costs include payroll and related expenses for employees involved in the research and development of new and existing products and services, development, design, and maintenance of our stores, curation and display of products and services made available in our online stores, and infrastructure costs. Infrastructure costs include servers, networking equipment, and data center related depreciation and amortization, rent, utilities, and other expenses necessary to support AWS and other Amazon businesses. Collectively, these costs reflect the investments we make in order to offer a wide variety of products and services to our customers, including expenditures related to initiatives to build and deploy innovative and efficient software and electronic devices and the development of a satellite network for global broadband service and autonomous vehicles for ride-hailing services. We seek to invest efficiently in numerous areas of technology and infrastructure so we may continue to enhance the customer experience and improve our process efficiency through rapid technology developments, while operating at an ever increasing scale. Our technology and infrastructure investment and capital spending projects often support a variety of product and service offerings due to geographic expansion and the cross-functionality of our systems and operations. We expect spending in technology and infrastructure to increase over time as we continue to add infrastructure and employees, including to support our artificial intelligence and machine learning initiatives. These costs are allocated to segments based on usage. The increase in technology and infrastructure costs in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year periods, is primarily due to an increase in spending on infrastructure, including depreciation and amortization. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact technology and infrastructure costs for Q2 2026, but increased technology and infrastructure costs by $427 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Technology and infrastructure costs in Q2 2026 include net unrealized gains for energy contracts that are subject to derivative accounting, primarily related to AWS. Fair value measurements for these contracts do not impact cash flows but may be material to technology and infrastructure costs in future periods due to the duration of these contracts and volatility inherent in valuation methods. We currently expense the majority of the costs associated with the development of our satellite network for global broadband service (including production, launch, and payroll costs, and launch services deposits upon launch). We will capitalize certain of these costs once the service achieves commercial viability, including sales to customers. See Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Overview” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of how management views advances in technology and the importance of innovation. 31 Table of Contents Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing costs include advertising and payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities, including sales commissions related to AWS. We direct customers to our stores primarily through a number of marketing channels, such as our third-party customer referrals, sponsored search, social and online advertising, television advertising, and other initiatives. Our marketing costs are largely variable, based on growth in sales and changes in rates. To the extent there is increased or decreased competition for these traffic sources, or to the extent our mix of these channels shifts, we would expect to see a corresponding change in our marketing costs. Sales and marketing costs in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 did not significantly change compared to the comparable prior year periods. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact sales and marketing costs for Q2 2026, but increased sales and marketing costs by $293 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. While costs associated with Amazon Prime membership benefits and other shipping offers are not included in sales and marketing expense, we view these offers as effective worldwide marketing tools, and intend to continue offering them indefinitely. General and Administrative The decrease in general and administrative costs in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year periods, is primarily due to a decrease in payroll and related expenses. Other Operating Expense (Income), Net Other operating expense (income), net was $199 million and $90 million for Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $507 million and $537 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, and was primarily related to asset impairments and the amortization of intangible assets. Operating Income Operating income by segment is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 Operating Income North America $ 7,517 $ 9,123 $ 13,358 $ 17,390 International 1,494 1,717 2,511 3,141 AWS 10,160 16,621 21,707 30,782 Consolidated $ 19,171 $ 27,461 $ 37,576 $ 51,313 Operating income increased from $19.2 billion in Q2 2025 to $27.5 billion in Q2 2026, and increased from $37.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $51.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026. We believe that operating income is a more meaningful measure than gross profit and gross margin due to the diversity of our product categories and services. For more information on the operating expenses that impact segment operating income, see “Operating Expenses” and the descriptions of operating expense line item changes on pages 30 to 32, and “Note 8 — Segment Information” on page 22. The increase in North America operating income in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year periods, is primarily due to increased unit sales and increased advertising sales, partially offset by increased shipping, fulfillment, and technology and infrastructure costs. The increase in International operating income in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year periods, is primarily due to increased unit sales and increased advertising sales, partially offset by increased shipping and fulfillment costs. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact operating income for Q2 2026, but positively impacted operating income by $304 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase in AWS operating income in Q2 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year periods, is primarily due to increased sales, partially offset by spending on technology infrastructure that was primarily driven by additional investments to support AWS business growth. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact operating income for Q2 2026, but negatively impacted operating income by $395 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. 32 Table of Contents Interest Income and Expense Our interest income was $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion during Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, primarily due to a higher average balance of invested funds, offset by a decrease in prevailing rates. We generally invest our excess cash in investment grade short- to intermediate-term marketable debt securities and AAA-rated money market funds. Our interest income corresponds with the average balance of invested funds based on the prevailing rates, which vary depending on the geographies and currencies in which they are invested. Interest expense was $516 million and $1.3 billion during Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $1.1 billion and $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, and was primarily related to debt, including new issuances of Notes, and finance leases. See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 3 — Leases and Note 5 — Debt” for additional information. Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense), net was $1.1 billion and $53.4 billion during Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and $3.9 billion and $69.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026. The primary components of other income (expense), net are related to equity securities valuations and adjustments, equity warrant valuations, foreign currency, and reclassification adjustments for gains (losses) on available-for-sale debt securities. The net gain of $1.1 billion in Q2 2025 is primarily from equity warrant valuations. The net gain of $3.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily from the reclassification adjustment for the gain on available-for-sale debt securities from the portion of our convertible notes investments in Anthropic that were converted to nonvoting preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net gain of $53.4 billion in Q2 2026 and $69.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily from upward adjustments for observable changes in price relating to our nonvoting preferred stock in Anthropic and the reclassification adjustment for the gains on available-for-sale debt securities from the portions of our convertible notes investments in Anthropic that were converted to nonvoting preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Income Taxes 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. See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 7 — Income Taxes” for additional information. 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. Free cash flow and the effect of foreign exchange rates on our consolidated statements of operations meet the definition of non-GAAP financial measures. Free Cash Flow Our financial focus is on long-term, sustainable growth in free cash flow. We provide a free cash flow measure because we believe it provides additional perspective on the impact of acquiring property and equipment with cash. Free cash flow is cash flow from operations reduced by “Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales and incentives.” The following is a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP cash flow measure, “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities,” for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 (in millions): Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 121,137 $ 161,403 Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales and incentives (102,953) (169,007) Free cash flow $ 18,184 $ (7,604) Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities $ (123,569) $ (216,775) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities $ (8,652) $ 75,160 Free cash flow has limitations as it omits certain components of the overall cash flow statement and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate the portion of payments representing principal reductions of debt or cash payments for business acquisitions. Additionally, our mix of property 33 Table of Contents and equipment acquisitions with cash or other financing options may change over time. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow only as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows. Effect of Foreign Exchange Rates Information regarding the effect of foreign exchange rates, versus the U.S. Dollar, on our net sales, operating expenses, and operating income 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. The effect on our net sales, operating expenses, and operating income from changes in our foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2026 2025 2026 As Reported Exchange Rate Effect (1) At Prior Year Rates (2) As Reported Exchange Rate Effect (1) At Prior Year Rates (2) As Reported Exchange Rate Effect (1) At Prior Year Rates (2) As Reported Exchange Rate Effect (1) At Prior Year Rates (2) Net sales $ 167,702 $ (1,515) $ 166,187 $ 200,606 $ (75) $ 200,531 $ 323,369 $ (75) $ 323,294 $ 382,125 $ (2,952) $ 379,173 Operating expenses 148,531 (1,362) 147,169 173,145 (180) 172,965 285,793 131 285,924 330,812 (3,090) 327,722 Operating income 19,171 (153) 19,018 27,461 105 27,566 37,576 (206) 37,370 51,313 138 51,451 ___________________ (1) Represents the change in reported amounts resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from those in effect in the comparable prior year period for operating results.

These forward-looking statements reflect Amazon.com’s expectations as of July 30, 2026, 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 and energy prices, changes in global economic and geopolitical conditions, tariff and trade policies, resource and supply volatility, including for memory chips, and customer demand and spending (including the impact of recessionary fears), inflation, interest rates, regional labor market constraints, world events, the rate of growth of the internet, online commerce, cloud services, and new and emerging technologies, as well as those outlined in Item 1A of Part II, “Risk Factors.” Third Quarter 2026 Guidance • Net sales are expected to be between $197.0 billion and $202.0 billion, or to grow between 9% and 12% compared with third quarter 2025. Excluding the impact of Prime Day in both 2025 and 2026, third quarter 2026 year-over-year growth would be nearly 400 basis points higher. This guidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 80 basis points from foreign exchange rates. • Operating income is expected to be between $22.5 billion and $26.5 billion, compared with $17.4 billion in third quarter 2025. • This guidance assumes, among other things, no impact from energy derivative contract remeasurements, and that no additional business acquisitions, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded. 35 Table of Contents Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our investments. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is set forth below and in Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Interest Rate Risk Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and our debt. Our long-term debt primarily bears interest at fixed rates and is carried at amortized cost and fluctuations in interest rates do not impact our consolidated financial statements. However, the fair value of our long-term debt will generally fluctuate with movements of interest rates, increasing in periods of declining rates of interest and declining in periods of increasing rates of interest. We generally invest our excess cash in investment grade short- to intermediate-term marketable debt securities and AAA-rated money market funds. Marketable debt securities with fixed interest rates may have their fair market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, and we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. Foreign Exchange Risk During Q2 2026, net sales from our International segment accounted for 21% of our consolidated revenues. Net sales and related expenses generated from our internationally-focused stores, including within Canada and Mexico (which are included in our North America segment), are primarily denominated in the functional currencies of the corresponding stores and primarily include Euros, British Pounds, and Japanese Yen. The results of operations of, and certain of our intercompany balances associated with, our internationally-focused stores and AWS are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Upon consolidation, as foreign exchange rates vary, net sales and other operating results may differ materially from expectations, and we may record significant gains or losses on the remeasurement of intercompany balances. For example, as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates throughout the period compared to rates in effect the prior year, International segment net sales in Q2 2026 decreased by $82 million in comparison with Q2 2025. We have foreign exchange risk related to foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (“foreign funds”). Based on the balance of foreign funds as of June 30, 2026, of $20.4 billion, an assumed 5%, 10%, and 20% adverse change to foreign exchange rates would result in declines of $1.0 billion, $2.0 billion, and $4.1 billion. We also have foreign exchange risk related to our intercompany balances denominated in various currencies. Based on the intercompany balances as of June 30, 2026, an assumed 5%, 10%, and 20% adverse change to foreign exchange rates would result in losses of $400 million, $795 million, and $1.6 billion, recorded to “Other income (expense), net.” 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)” 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. See Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations — Effect of Foreign Exchange Rates” for additional information on the effect on reported results of changes in foreign exchange rates. Equity Investment Risk As of June 30, 2026, our recorded value in equity, equity warrant, and convertible debt investments in public and private companies was $229.7 billion. Our equity and equity warrant investments in publicly traded companies represent $7.4 billion of our investments as of June 30, 2026, and are recorded at fair value, which is subject to market price volatility. We record our equity warrant investments in private companies at fair value and adjust our equity investments in private companies, which primarily relate to our equity investments in Anthropic and OpenAI, for observable price changes or impairments. We record our available-for-sale convertible debt investments in private companies at fair value, which primarily relate to Anthropic. Valuations of private companies are inherently more complex due to the lack of readily available market data. The current global economic conditions provide additional uncertainty. As such, we believe that market sensitivities are not practicable. 36 Table of Contents Item 4. Controls and Procedures We carried out an evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the most recent fiscal quarter, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. 37 Table of Contents PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies — Legal Proceedings.” Item 1A. Risk Factors Please carefully consider the following discussion of significant factors, events, and uncertainties that make an investment in our securities risky. The events and consequences discussed in these risk factors could, in circumstances we may or may not be able to accurately predict, recognize, or control, have a material adverse effect on our business, growth, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results (including components of our financial results), cash flows, liquidity, and stock price. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face; our operations could also be affected by factors, events, or uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations. In addition to the factors discussed in Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in the risk factors below, global economic and geopolitical conditions and additional or unforeseen circumstances, developments, or events may give rise to or amplify many of the risks discussed below. Many of the risks discussed below also impact our customers, including third-party sellers, which could indirectly have a material adverse effect on us. The disclosures in this section reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect us in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past. Business and Industry Risks We Face Intense Competition Our businesses are rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, and we have many competitors across geographies, including cross-border competition, and in different industries, including physical, e-commerce, and omnichannel retail, e-commerce services, web and infrastructure computing services, electronic devices, digital content, advertising, grocery, healthcare, communications, and transportation and logistics services. Some of our current and potential competitors have greater resources, longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our newly-launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions. They may secure better terms from vendors, adopt more aggressive pricing, and devote more resources to technology, infrastructure, fulfillment, and marketing. Competition continues to intensify, including with the development of new business models and the entry of new and well-funded competitors, and as our competitors enter into business combinations or alliances and established companies in other market segments expand to become competitive with our business. In addition, new and enhanced technologies, including search, web and infrastructure computing services, practical applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning, digital content, satellites, and electronic devices continue to increase our competition. The internet and other technologies including artificial intelligence facilitate competitive entry and comparison shopping, which enhances the ability of new, smaller, or lesser-known businesses to compete against us. As a result of competition, our product and service offerings may not be successful, we may fail to gain or may lose business, and we may be required to increase our spending or lower prices, any of which could materially reduce our sales and profits. Our Expansion into New Products, Services, Technologies, and Geographic Regions Subjects Us to Additional Risks We may have limited or no experience in our newer market segments, and our customers may not adopt our product or service offerings. These offerings, which can present new and difficult technology challenges, may subject us to claims if customers of these offerings experience, or are otherwise impacted by, service disruptions, delays, setbacks, or failures or quality issues. In addition, profitability or other intended benefits, if any, in our newer activities (including development and adoption of automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies for customer and internal use), may not meet our expectations, and we may not be successful enough in these newer activities to recoup our investments in them, which investments are often significant. Failure to realize the benefits of amounts we invest in new technologies, products, or services could result in the value of those investments being written down or written off. In addition, our sustainability initiatives may be unsuccessful for a variety of reasons, including if we are unable to realize the expected benefits of new technologies or if we do not successfully plan or execute new strategies, which could harm our business or damage our reputation. 38 Table of Contents Our International Operations Expose Us to a Number of Risks Our international activities are significant to our revenues and profits, and we plan to further expand internationally. In certain international market segments, we have relatively little operating experience and may not benefit from any first-to-market advantages or otherwise succeed. It is costly to establish, develop, and maintain international operations and stores, and promote our brand internationally. Our international operations may not become profitable on a sustained basis. In addition to risks described elsewhere in this section, our international sales and operations are subject to a number of risks, including: • local economic and political conditions; • government regulation (such as regulation of our product and service offerings and of competition); restrictive governmental actions (such as trade protection or retaliatory measures, including export duties and quotas and custom duties and tariffs, and restrictions around the import and export of certain products, technologies, and components); nationalization; and restrictions on foreign ownership; • restrictions on sales or distribution of certain products or services and uncertainty regarding liability for products, services, and content, including uncertainty as a result of less internet-friendly legal systems, local laws, lack of legal precedent, and varying rules, regulations, and practices regarding the physical and digital distribution of media products and enforcement of intellectual property rights; • business licensing or certification requirements, such as for imports, exports, web services, electronic devices, and communications services; • limitations on the repatriation and investment of funds and foreign currency exchange restrictions; • limited fulfillment and technology infrastructure; • shorter payable and longer receivable cycles and the resultant negative impact on cash flow; • laws and regulations regarding privacy, data use, data protection, data security, data localization, network security, consumer protection, payments, advertising, and restrictions on pricing or discounts; • lower levels of use of the internet; • lower levels of consumer spending and fewer opportunities for growth compared to the U.S.; • lower levels of credit card usage and increased payment risk; • difficulty in staffing, developing, and managing foreign operations as a result of distance, language, and cultural differences; • different employee/employer relationships and the existence of works councils and labor unions; • compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable U.S. and foreign laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials and other third parties; • laws and policies of the U.S. and other jurisdictions affecting trade (such as tariff policy changes), foreign investment, loans, and taxes; and • geopolitical events, including war and terrorism. As international physical, e-commerce, and omnichannel retail, cloud services, and other services grow, competition will intensify, including through adoption of evolving business models. Local companies may have a substantial competitive advantage because of their greater understanding of, and focus on, the local customer, as well as their more established local brand names. The inability to hire, train, retain, and manage sufficient required personnel may limit our international growth. The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and India regulate Amazon’s and its affiliates’ businesses and operations in country through regulations and license requirements that may restrict (i) foreign investment in and operation of the internet, IT infrastructure, data centers, retail, delivery, and other sectors, (ii) internet content, and (iii) the sale of media and other products and services. For example, in order to meet local ownership, regulatory licensing, and cybersecurity requirements, we provide certain technology services in China through contractual relationships with third parties that hold PRC licenses to provide services. In India, the government restricts the ownership or control of Indian companies by foreign entities involved in online multi-brand retail trading activities. For www.amazon.in, we provide certain marketing tools and logistics services to third-party sellers to enable them to sell online and deliver to customers, and we hold an indirect minority interest in an entity that is a third-party seller on the www.amazon.in marketplace. Although we believe these structures and activities comply with existing laws, they involve unique risks, and the PRC and India may from time to time consider and implement additional changes in their regulatory, licensing, or other requirements that could impact these structures and activities. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation of PRC and Indian laws and regulations, and it is possible that these governments will 39 Table of Contents ultimately take a view contrary to ours. In addition, our Chinese and Indian businesses and operations may be unable to continue to operate if we or our affiliates are unable to access sufficient funding or, in China, enforce contractual relationships we or our affiliates have in place. Violation of any existing or future PRC, Indian, or other laws or regulations or changes in the interpretations of those laws and regulations could result in our businesses in those countries being subject to fines and other financial penalties, having licenses revoked, or being forced to restructure our operations or shut down entirely. In addition, because China-based sellers account for significant portions of our third-party seller services and advertising revenues, and China-based suppliers provide significant portions of our components and finished goods, regulatory and trade restrictions, tariff policy changes and trade disputes, data protection and cybersecurity laws, economic factors, geopolitical events, security issues, or other factors negatively impacting China-based sellers and suppliers could adversely affect our operating results. The Variability in Our Retail Business Places Increased Strain on Our Operations Demand for our products and services can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including as a result of seasonality, promotions, product launches, or unforeseeable events, such as in response to global economic conditions such as recessionary fears or rising inflation (including as a result of tariff policy changes), natural or human-caused disasters (including public health crises) or extreme weather (including as a result of climate change), or geopolitical events. For example, we expect a disproportionate amount of our retail sales to occur during our fourth quarter. Our failure to stock or restock popular products in sufficient amounts such that we fail to meet customer demand could significantly affect our revenue and our future growth. When we overstock products, we may be required to take significant inventory markdowns or write-offs and incur commitment costs, which could materially reduce profitability. We regularly experience increases in our net shipping cost due to complimentary upgrades, split-shipments, and additional long-zone shipments necessary to ensure timely delivery for the holiday season. If too many customers access our websites within a short period of time due to increased demand, we may experience system interruptions that make our websites unavailable or prevent us from efficiently fulfilling orders, which may reduce the volume of goods we offer or sell and the attractiveness of our products and services. In addition, we may be unable to adequately staff our fulfillment network and customer service centers during these peak periods and delivery and other fulfillment companies and customer service co-sourcers may be unable to meet the seasonal demand. Risks described elsewhere in this Item 1A relating to fulfillment network optimization and inventory are magnified during periods of high demand. As a result of holiday sales, as of December 31 of each year, our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances typically reach their highest level (other than as a result of cash flows provided by or used in investing and financing activities) because consumers primarily use credit cards in our stores and the related receivables settle quickly. Typically, there is also a corresponding increase in accounts payable as of December 31 due to inventory purchases and third-party seller sales. Our accounts payable balance generally declines during the first three months of the year as vendors and sellers are paid, resulting in a corresponding decline in our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances. We Are Impacted by Fraudulent or Unlawful Activities of Sellers The law relating to the liability of online service providers is currently unsettled. In addition, governmental agencies have in the past and could in the future require changes in the way this business is conducted. Under our seller programs, we maintain policies and processes designed to prevent sellers from collecting payments, fraudulently or otherwise, when buyers never receive the products they ordered or when the products received are materially different from the sellers’ descriptions, and to prevent sellers in our stores or through other stores from selling unlawful, counterfeit, pirated, or stolen goods, selling goods in an unlawful or unethical manner, violating the proprietary rights of others, or otherwise violating our policies. When these policies and processes are circumvented or fail to operate sufficiently, it can harm our business or damage our reputation and we could face civil or criminal liability for unlawful activities by our sellers. Under our A-to-z Guarantee, we may reimburse customers for payments up to certain limits in these situations, and as our third-party seller sales grow, the cost of this program will increase and could negatively affect our operating results. We Face Risks Related to Adequately Protecting Our Intellectual Property Rights and Being Accused of Infringing Intellectual Property Rights of Third Parties We regard our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technology, and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on trademark, copyright, and patent law, trade secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, and others to protect our proprietary rights. Effective intellectual property protection is not available in every country in which our products and services are made available. We also may not be able to acquire or maintain appropriate domain names in all countries in which we do business. Furthermore, regulations governing domain names may not protect our trademarks and similar proprietary rights. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon, or diminish the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights. 40 Table of Contents
